MR. HONE'S TRIAL. THIRD DAY. On Saturday Mr. Pone was put upon his trial upon a ',third is dietinent for having pmn , lislied a profane 711k1 seditious libel. being a pa coda of the " Antall shun Creed." Reline the trial was proceeded an, the Attorney General took occasion to observe, that trout Mr. Hone's appearance, he suspected he was very. unwell, if this was the ease, and he wished for any delay. he would grant it with great vet & noes. that he might have all his bodily strength and the full use of his abilities in his defence. Mr. Hone felt much obliged for the civility of the Attorney General, but did not avail himself of the oiler, and Mr. Shepherd, as before, opened the proceedings. The nature of the defence was nearly the same as before, except that Mr. Hone expresed himself in still more bitter terms against 'those whom he choosed to call his persecutors. In the course of his defence he gave the following imeresting sketch of his past lite.— ' If you do not lancet me (said - he, addrusang the Jury,) my life mdse fall a sacrifice to the c onfinement that shall ffillow a verdict of s e nility. My prosecutors , my perseeutoms. are unr:;entinr. uow you that they are to persecutors. I talk to you as familiarly as if you were sittiror with the in my own room. limit there I have not 12 chairs. My pride is the pride of b Mag independent. None is supposed to be independent without property. I have never had any property. Within the last 12 months nil children had rot beds enough in my house. At this moment there is not sufficient for the !Weil • %Ty enjoynient of life. For the last 2 years a nd a half why I have not employtd counsel? I could nut fee counsel. I I have not had a emnplete hour of happiness, because they Lave been in such misery, it was impossible for a man of my temperament to know 2!IV thing of happiness. I have been asked by my friends, when I should publili my trial ? I could not pay arcporter; and at this moment I ha ve no re p orter in Court. Gentlemen, you see I tun not in that dre 4S before you which my re anent for you and myself would make me anaious to a pp ear in. I dl4' resolve to get a suit of clothes for this trial, but the money I had provided for that purpose I 41::4 obliged to give for copies of the in formations aoainst me. Ali these things I mention to show you what difficulties 1 had to encounter in order to appear to possess mndepen dence of mind, and to let turn know how cautious they should be in judging of men. Seven or eight years ago I went into business with a friend in the Strand. I had then a wife and four children, aid I was separated fatal them by evils accumulated from endea vouring to kip those who could not help themselves. I attempted to tstablisih something such as the saving-banks that are now so Funeral. There was a number associated tbr this purpose, and I was their secretary. Our object was to get the patronage of Ministers for our scheme. Mr. For was then in power ; it was the 'Whig Administration. We hoped to throw a grain in the earth w. ieh might become a troe. Sir Walter Stirling in the Strand was the leading inanager. It was very Quixotic, we were mad, snarl for carrying our good intention into efket. We were not immedianly discouraged, but we met with that trilling and delaying of hlpe which makes time heart sick. I find I was entering into too snitch detail. I meant simply to state that I lost every thing, even the furniture of my house. Still a Itiend got me again into businesr.—l soon became bankrupt. But on the meeting of my creditors, the first question was, " Where is your eirtificate ?" All stgned it at once save one, who was unintentionally the cause of another great failure.— Two years and a halt' ago I went into prison for debt. and was dis charged by the Insolvent Act. Having then got sonic books to sell, as I was always fond of old books, I took a shop in Fleet-street, et the corner of Lombard street. It was 3 feet wide in front. I hail no Oita there for my wife and my seven children. The shop . was in beetsequence broken open three times, and all that was in it talon away. I was now in de,peration. I was thrown on the wide ocean iivithout a shore, and without a plank of safety. 1 then accidently wrote somethinglwhich happened to take. By hi • Se sets! I got a place for nay himily, winch was scarcely a ag. 1 was then at. t Anal with apoplexy, and my family were thrown in-o the utmost warm. 'file publication of what sus called Lord Byron': poems was suceessfu., I men tool: a place in the 41 1.1 Bailey. I could fbrnith only oae room. I would not let lodgings because I would not ennuse my state Justus I thus got me head above water, his storm ussailed tor, and plunged me deeper than ever. I am as destitute as any loan in London. I have not one fiend in the wo:irl. It ha. been sail that I am back..-1 ; no, friends are got by social inuatourse, and the eapiaise of social intercourse I have never been able to Aleut. Iletiee I ant a destitute smut. I have never done or printed wLat I did not think tight and true. I have always act•A for the pia Idle go od. acconling to inv conception." 'flee Attorney timeral's reply embraces! neatly the same argurne"4 Ma on the two preceding days. as did the charge of the Judge. At minntes past tf, the jury retired to consider their verdict. A gentleman named Wetherell, wits then brou;ht into Court 4i:barged by the Marshal and constables' with having created a dis turoance at the door, by eitenniting to force his way into Court, and w",dl having pushed down Banbury the camstable. The gentleman denied having ercatcd any other ili.turhatice than that which arose from his attempt to get into Court, in which he was perfatly justi- AA. The constables, however, swearing po.itively to the assault, he was sentJinal to pay a tine of 'nil.

Wednesday was held the St. Andrew's festival of this laud able institution, which has been this year pat out of its usual course by that melancholy event winch has postponed every plan of national or private festivity . . From the same cause the Duke of Clarence ' who was expected to be Chairman , was unable to attend. A great assemblage of the friends of the Society had collected at six o'clock. At about a quarter past six the Chairman, 51r. Ur. Watson Taylor, as substit for the Royal Doke, entered the room, accompanied by the Stewards, and preceded by a bagpipes, whose roll al though appropriate enough in the hall of a Highland or at the head of a Highland regiment, seemed rather over. powering for the London Tavern, and does not appear a ne cessary appendage of the Scottish Society, or of the patron Saint attic institution. Before dinner glace was said by the Rev. Dr. Waugh, who merited the distinction of Honorary Complain to the Socigiy by a Sermon, in the course of the year, which increased its tnnds by 9gl. Gow's band, which was engaged for the occasion, was not inactive iu playing na. tiunal airs, and in gratifying the company with the most ap. propriate tunes. After the usual loyal and prtriutic toa,ts, to which was added, with becoming expressions of sympa thy, that of Prince Coborg, the Secretary proceeded to give mt account of the nature, objects, proceediugs, and (we are glad to at:it) prosperity of the association. Since last spring meeting, where the largest subsea iption ever known was col lected, several great donations had been given or continued, and neat lv 3uol. had been contributed by thus- who went to hear the sermons of Des. Chalmers and Waugh. - In the Course of the year, above 300 individuals had been relieved by the bounty of the Society, or had been sent back to their native country, free of expence, by its assistance.— The unparalleled distress of last year had called forth unpa ralleled exertions; and besides the subscriptions which from their natm e wine expended for the immediate purposes of the charity, 3001. had been funded for its future use. The speeches were made by the Chairman, by Sir T. Dell, by Dr. Waugh, and by Mr. Lawrie, were addressed principally to the benevolent feelings and the purses of the company ; and their utility and poser si ill be best seen by an inspection of the secretary's books. Their operation was aided in this way by the great assemblage of the people present, by the songs, the toasts, thew rue, and even the bagpipes, which, by open ing the heart and awakening national associations, showed their combined effect towards the close of the meeting, in the alacrity of the subscribers, and the extent of the contri butions. The night passed away in that hilarity, cordiality, and harmony, which accorded so well with the liberal purpose of the meeting. THE PRINCE LEOPOLEL—On Monday morning the Prince Leopold left Claremont, and proceeded to Wind sor, on a visit to the Princesses Augusta and Sophia.— His Serene Highness being expected, fires were lighted, and apartments were prepared for his reception at the Upper Lodge. The Prince proceeded to the Royal vault, where lie vented his grief over the remains of his beloved Princess for near an hour. In his visit to the Princesses Augusta and Sophia, he gazed on the portraits of the Princess Charlotte, lately finished by Mr. Damve, which the Princesses have had put up in their apartments. His Serene Highness returned to Claremont to dinner, and arrived a little before five o'clock, and found Mr. Dykes, the King's Messenger, waiting with 3 letter to his Serene Highness from the Princess of Wales, in answer to the communication containing the distressing, intelligence of the death of her daughter. Tuesday was Prince Leopold's birth day ; on that day P.! months the first painting of the Prince Leopold, by Mr. Dawc, was taken home com pletely finished, as arranged by her Royal Highness. His beloved Consort had made other arrangements for the second anniversary of the Prince's natal day, for a till-length likeness of herself, by time same artist, which she sat thr a kw days previous to her death, and it was to have gone home on that day, to correspond with that of the Prince Leopold's. Tuesday was observed in solemn silence at Clare mont. 'the Prince's mind was a little.relicve,l by the arrival et' a likeness of the Princess by Sir TOomas Lawrence : Sir Thomas took it himself from Loinlon. It has been for some time in the possession of the Prince Regent, at Carlton House; :and was sent to Prince Leopold at his desire. The picture is to be returned to Sir Thomas on Prince Leopold's departure for Wey mouth, in order that a full-length copy of it may be taken for the purpose of engraving. His Serene Higliners Prince Leopold does not im prove in health. For some time his body, as well as his mind, has been severely atkicted. He has expe rienced for several days extreme agony in his head, from rheumatic attacks. He has bemi afflicted with severe spasms. On Sunday, however, when Lord Lauderdale Nisited his Serene Highness, be was better. The Noble Earl passed the day with hint. I lis High ness still preserves the same retired habits ; he conti nues inaccessible to all, except u few chosen friends ; passing his time in Jeep riluction on the vicissitudes of this life; and he cads his late happiness " a tran sient dream." On the 921 of October, the ship Prince of Orange encountered a severe gale, which threw her op her beam-ends, and leashed overboard 100 head of mules, and other wise &waged the vessel aiul cargo : she was then in lot 17. lon. 71. This WAS the day after :he hurricane, which had nut rcaehed Jamaira. I 1 ei Ma jesty's ship La Pique, of :;;7; guns, sailed for Triad, ad, de Cuba, and the Havannali, on the -}th of November, to demand, at the latter place, the restitution of arc tic taken worn his Majesty's ship Tay.
