It must be allowed that the present trial presents some very curious incidents—a Minister, acting along with colleagues by whom he has been left in a minority—A Judge conducting an examination on rules which he disapproves—Ambassadors hunting for, and marshalling witnesses against their QUEEN ; and this with a full knowledge that a plot had been once before got up against her MAJESTY, and sup ported by perjury—ltalian witnesses collected against a Person of high dignity, who could not be assailed by English testimony—a House of Parliament car rying on a prosecution, founded on green-bag evi dence, which another House •refused even to look at —a charge, prosecuted for a particular act, and wit nesses brought forward who give evidence of acts of a quite different nature, as sitting on a gun, rolling in a garden chair, looking at a dance, eating a lunch in the kitchen, riding in an open carriage, sailing on a lake!! -Everything done and doing that can be done, to persuade the good people of England that their QUEEN is the worst woman on earth ; and that very people declaring every day that they do not be lieve one word of the charge, and that they consider her MAJESTY as the most oppressed, most injured, most deserted, and most helpless woman in the world!! ! The following observations of a Correspondent upon a part of the witness Barbara Krantz's evidence, will, we think, be fuund worthy of attention : _ In the Lords Minutes, fol. 178, M. B. Krantz says, she found a cloak in Bergami's bed.—ln fol. 188, she says she " took it (:he cloak) out, and unfolded it." Wow it would puzzle a very wise man to account for the Queen's cloak being in Bergami's bet:, folded, as having auy relation to the criminality of the Queen. But the most material point, and that which has made the most Impression against the Queen, and the most relied upon by your cotemporaries, is the evidence respecting the sheets, which you will observe, if you again look at the passage, has, as snattcr of evidence, no more relation to the Queen than it has to yourstlf, or to any Lady of your acquaintance living at the time in England. _ _ _ The question put to Mrs. Krantz, fol. 188, :is, " Did you at any lint:, in making up the bed, observe anything else (i. e. be sicks the cloak) upon the sheets, or on any part of the bed?" Then follow the answers respecting " stains." It is clear that neither the question nor the answer has any re lation to the lime when it is pretended the cloak was found. If I. had been intended to have connected the two supposed facts, the question would have been (not at any time) but at fiat time. Had the answer related to the time when the cloak was found, the witness would herself have connected the two facts. The latter circumstance, then, has no connexion with the for mer; it stands isolated, is connected with nothing, and has no relation to the Qneen in the most remote way. Thee! is no pre tence even that it does—no particle of evidence, no, nor even of any circumstances leading to a suspicion that the Queen had been near Bergami's room. It is not even evidence at all, and ought to be struck out. M. Krantz deposed to three circumstances, no one of which can, on her own evidence have any the least weight; but it is, notwithstanding, necessary, to prevent the mischief which the Queen's enemies aim at accomplishing, to remark on the evi dence, and to expose its inconsistency as it proceeds. Her MAJESTY left the House of Lords yesterday afternoon, at about four o'clock, on her return to St. James's-square. The assemblage of people was very great. The Ladies who filled the windows and bal conies of the houses in Parliament -street, Charing- Cross, &c. exhibited every demonstration of respect and affection which their ardent minds could sug gest. Her MAJESTY'S carriage was opened as a lan dau, which enabled her to acknowledge the plea sure she received from the homage of her subjects. At five o'clock the Deputation with the Clerken well Parish Address arrived in St. James's-square in thirty-two open carriages. They were received by her MAJESTY in the front drawing-room, when Mr. STEADMAN, the senior Churchwarden, read the Ad dress, to which her MAJESTY returned a gracious Answer, and the Deputation kissed hands. About the same time Sir GERARD NOEL and Mr. HAYDEN waited upon her MAJESTY / to know when she would be pleased to receive the Address from the Parish of Mary-la-bonne. Her MAJESTY ap pointed Monday next, at one o'clock, at Branden burgh House. Preparations were then immediately ordered for her MAJESTY'S leaving town for the night; and she passed to her carriage, supported by Mr. Alderman Woori—Sir GERARD NOEL, and several other Gen th.mea, attending her to the door of it ; and the De putation from Clerkenwell lining the hall and stair case. The carriaF,c then drove off amidst the huzzas of the populace, and the crowd quietly separated. DttYpet4, in one of his Poems, the name of which we do not recollect at present, has passage which we would strongly recommend to those who have instituted the present proceedings against the QUEEN. He says— " Secreu of muriage still are sacred held, Their sweets and bitters by the wise conceardi Errors of wives reflect on husbands still, And when divulg'd prpclalin they've chosen Arid the mysterious pow'r of bed and throne, Should always be maintain'd, but rarely ibewn." So thought DRVDEN ; but men ere to he found in the present day who afe so r e gg diess o f the myste. riec of marriage, or of the Throne, that they will e pose both to nakedness, make the most violent in roads on the public morals, waste the public money, and hatard the peace of the Empire, rather than en danger their places. THIRTEENTH DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The early arrival of her MAJESTY at the House of Lords yesterday, caused the crowd to assemble at an earlier hour this morning than usual. At ten o'clock the number collected in Parliament-street was not very considerable ; the Horse Patrole were marshalled on each side of the road, and parties of , the Horse Guards promenaded up and down Parlia ment-street. The great point of attraction, as afford ing the best chance of seeing the QUEEN, lS St. James's-square ; as early as eight o'clock in the morn ing, persons began to assemble in front of the QUEEN'S house on the west side of the square, and by ten not only the square, but Pall-Mall and all the adja cent streets through which the QUEEN was expected to pass, were crowded with decent and well-dressed persons, waiting with the most eager curiosity and anxiety to get a glance of her MAJESTY. The whole group thus assembled would form a fine subject for the graphic pen of a Geoffrey Crayon, or the life-depicting pencil of an Hogarth. In one part of the crowd is seen a group collected around some loquacious politician, who, with great import ance, is discussing the merits of the case in all its bearings, and condemning the proceedings against the QUEEN in the strongest terms. So:ne of his hearers, who do not pretend to so much political acumen, agree most cordially with him, that it will at least be a very expensive job, however it may be decided, and that Jahn Bull must pay the piper. Nor are they without some dread that a new Tax may be laid on to defray the expenses incurred by this new mode of protecting the morals of the People. A subject so serious is in some degree enlivened by a number of ballad-singers, who are dispersed in the crowd, a:d, with discordant voice, are chaunting the praises of Queen CAROLINE, while a man, with lungs of iron, is stunning the ears of all around him with Here is printed and published a full and particular account of the trial of her Majesty Queen CAROLINE, with the examination of the Italian wit nesses yesterday ; and all for the small charge of one penny !" Iler MAJESTY, accompanied by Lady CHARLOTTE LINDSAY, and followed by her Chamberlains in ano ther carriage, arrived at the House of Lords this morning, at half-past eleven o'clock. In all the streets through which her MAJESTY passed she was most en thusiastically cheered; and at the Horse Guards, and in Palace-yard, she was received with the accustomed military honours. Before the commencement of the proceedings this morning, Lords LIVERPOOL, LAUDERDALE, GREY, and HOLLAND, were talking for some minutes toge ther very earnestly.
