. • Nr I.- •,•• " • a- ness has said about what passed between him and Reganti, I think the question may be answered. Mr. Wane withdrew the last question, and asked, On that occasion what did Reganti do?—I went to buy something, and Reganti said to me, knowing I belonged to the Barons, Pomi, have you ever seen there courtesies be tween her Royal Highness and Bergami? Now is the time to come forward to gain something, and become a man." I answered, that I had seen nothing. He rejoined—" Have you not seen the Princess on horseback, and Bergami put his baud under her petticoats? I told him this was a perfect falsehood ; for, instead of that, he paid her all possible respect and decency which was due to that great Personage. I gave up going to his shop, he annoyed me so much on the subject. Cross-examined by the Arniamer-Ozeinat. Ido not know the time precisely when the conversant 1 have mentioned with Reganti took place. He said it so ass, that I can mention no particular time. He even went so fares to say that he would wage war fill death against her. Several persons were present at the time. I could name Antonio Bar rali ; the others I can't tell. I know them, but not their 11111111 L Antonio Barrali is a man who frequented the shop. I eat know where he, lives in Milan, nor how he is employed. 'I conversation was general to all who were in the shop. I re member Barrali being present at such conversation only *ace. Did anything more pass ?—1 said I could say nothing of her Royal Highness, for she was a must st and charitable woman. By Lord L A UDERDALE . — Were your yourself at the balls at the Barons ?—I told you so the day before. Were your daughters there?—No, because I have got none. How came you to say the other day that you had stipulated for a livre a day for your wife and half a livre for your daughters ? I said (the witness mentioned in Italian diminutive, not mean ing daughters, but infant boys) I had a son nine years of age, and others were under it. I had daughters, but they are dead. MITONIO Meom sworn, and examined by Mr. Wutuass. I come from Venice. Before I was employed in the Police. Now lam manager of a playhou se. I know Paolo Zangla, whc b manager of a theatre. I knew him in March, 1818. I was at a theatre in Venice of St. Luke, in the month of November. Zangla received two letters there at one time. I saw him open them, and make a motion of surprise when he read them. After that, Zangla bind I went from Venice to Milan for five or six days, by the Diligence. There was money deposited for the use of Zangla on the following day at the place of the Diligence, fifteen Napoleons. When we arrived at Milan, we went to drientale, to look for No. 660. Before we came to the door there was a tailor's shop. Zangla went into number 660.= I waited below. tangla remained away about a quarter of an hour. I waited for him, and we went together to the Inn. While we remained at Milan, we went to the house of Vilmacarti, the Advocate. Zangla went into the house, and continued to remain there about an hour and a half. This was on the following day! I remained below, and Zangla came down. There was another man. We then went to the house of Major Brown, that, Zangla told me, was his name. I only know one man named Brown. I don't know whether he was a Colonel or a Major, for I did not see his belt. 1 saw hint on the following day, when he met Zangla, and Zangla said be was Major Brown. They did not speak to each other, but they bowed. The name of the street in which he lived was Porto Orientale, the Number was 660. Zangla went up stairs on the occasion of which I have now spoken.— Zangla remained a quarter of an hour. When he came down hr had a handful of golden Napoleons--double Napoleons. There ware, he said, S 0; and they appeared as massy. I mean 80 double Napoleons. Zangla told me-- The AnoaNs:l-GENrust said, the House could not receive the conversation between Zangla and the witness as evidence, Zangla not having been proved to be an agent. Mr. WILLIAMS contended in favour of the question, and sta ted that he could prove that the witness had been told by Zangla, th it hr should receive as much if he would make a deposition against the Queen. It was necessary to proceed step by step, as it would be impossilde to prove conspiracy by any other means. Mr. TYNDALL also areoled, that his Learned Friend was en-1 titled to pursue this course of examination, and pursued the same line of argument adopted by Mr. Williams. This was one of the facts, amongst many, from which their Lordships were to in fer the existence of a conspiracy, and by which they were to trace that conspiracy to its source. If authorities were wanting, there was one in the case of the King and Stone, in which a letter was produced, not traced to the principal; yet it was admitted in evi dence, because beating on and helping to form a fine of facts. The Artnexav-Gzeoesa. thought their Lordships would DOW see the importance of the point they had to decide ; for if he un derstood the point for which Mr. Williams was now contending, it was neither mere nor less than this, that not only were their Lordships to receive the evidence of A, B, C, and a fist of wit. tnsses going through the alphabet, to facts which uhilnately might have nothing to do Vith the case, but they were also to receive the evidence of reports prevailing in Italy, which might by chance have made an impression o n the minds of the wit nesses, although they had the witnesses themselves at the Bar. Ile contended there was no act of agency proved here ; and if such evidence as this was received, no man would be safe; as, aocording to this doctrine, any one might be fixed with all the consequences, however serious, of the acts of any one who might choose to say, lam th? agent of so and so. Already had the evi dence of this whiles. been :Towed to go to an uuparalleled length; fee e'en the gestures of Zangla were to be called as evidence against Monet Brown ; and now his Learned Friend sets con tending for a right to call in rumours and reports circulating in Italy. On the pal of Colonel Brown ard Vilmacarti, he called on their Lordship to pause before they admitted so gross an attack on the characters of those individuals. Before they could proceed in this examination ' his Learned Friends must prove that &Ilea was the agent of Colonel Brown and Vilmacarti, which at present they had not done. If such evidence as this was received, there would no longer be any security for the pro perty or the reputation of any individual whatever. Mr. Beoinntan hoped their Lordship would not stop this inquiry, as to who were the conspirators. They did not attack Colonel Brown. The LORI) CHANCELLOR was at a loss to are how they Could make die declaration of ?Angle evidence ; or how they could dispense with calling Zangla, if they desired the advantage of his acts. This was pushing the rules of evidence farther than they had ever been pushed before. Lord ERSKINE repeated his former opinion, that they were bound, in the first instance, to go into the general evidence, and afterwards bring it home to the parties, it they could. If ulti mately they could not prove this a link of the chain, connecting the whole with Colonel lkown and Vilmacarti, then neither of those persons would be affected by it. The Noble Lord re ferred to the proceeding, in Hardy's Trial, at the Old Bailey, in 1794 ; and said, the course now contended for was then pur sue I by his Noble ard Learned Friend the Attorney-General. His Noble Friend called witnesses to prove facts, and put their testimony upon recotd ; but he afterwards failed to connect the Enka of the chain, and Mr. hardy was acquitted. But would any one charge his Noble mid Learned Friend with a breach of duty in calling such evidence? Certainly not. His Learned Friend acted ip a conscientious discharge of his duty. The Learned Judge, Chief Justice Eyre ' was of opinion such evi dence should be received, and he ha d no hesitation in saying that decision of the Learned Chief Justice was consonant to sound law and pure justice; and on the authority of that case, he now contended the present evidence ought to he received. The LORD CHANCELLOR. thought if it were proved that A B were of the party of C 1), and C I) were charged as couspiratois ' then the declarations of C would be evidence against A 11; but at present no such connection was proved be tween the parties. So in the trials at the Old Bailey in 1794, Justice Buller said, the letter of a person charged as one of the conspirators, to another person, also charged as a conspirator, might be taken as evidence against a third individual, also charged as a conspirator. But the case here stood in a very dif ferent point of view : where was the connection between the parties here, which could affect Colonel Mown or Vilmacarti by a couversation between the witness and anigla? • Lord ERSKINE itilf contended for the right of putting the quell ion. The LORD CIIANCELLOR said, if any doubt existed, it would be better t 6 refer the questidn to the Judges. Lord GREY thought, upon the law as laid down by the Lord Chancellor, Ipingla was not ildficlently identified with Colonel Drown, to authorise die qUestion being put. With this impres sion, he thought 1j unnecessary to put any question to the Judges. Mr. Hint/coax bored their Loedships would allow him to aby a few*Words. .• • The LORD CH A MCRLLOR.—To-morrow morning, Mr. Deouglantia, their Lordships will With pleasure hear aulything Too hke to urgt.—Adjourned. • to - .149)DitAIES ro INR-4144J$ST Y. Yestirday having been appointed by her MAJEBI.I for receiving several Addresses, .the Metropolis exhi bited unusual scene of From one end to the other it was thronged eiittihleerr by those who were to form part of the different processions, or by the crowds who attended to witness their departure, and accompany their progress. Indeed, from the interest excited on this occasion, one would have been led to believe, that it was the first.on which any Addresses were to be presented. We have had, within the last two months, frequent occasion to deacribe various processions accompanying . Addresses to -Brandeis burgh House, and we have invariably remarked, that the interest which they excited seemed to increase in proportion to their numbers and frequency. Our observations in this respect were fully borne out by what Occurred yesterday ; for the enthusiasm which it called forth was not equalled by anything we have hitherto witnessed. Of the thousands who lined the roads, or joined the processions towards her Ma jesty's residence, there was not one (as far as we could judge from appearances) who did not seem as if his own individual safety, or that of some dearly valued friend, were depending on the part which he was taking. As early as ten o'clock in the morning, the streets leading from Holborn to Hyde Park-cor ner, and from thence to Hammersmith, began to be thronged with pedestrians of every class, and with' vehicles of all descriptions. The windows of the houses on both sides the way were filled with spiigut tors, who seemed anxiously waiting the expos* sbew. AMong the several processions were part larly distinguished the Deputations from the and Upper Liberties of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. Gecirge the Martyr, 7%iiddleses. These consisted of from 400 to 500 persons, conveyed in about ninety open carriages, drawn by four horses each ; one-third of which were filled by elegant and welhdressed fe males—the remainder were occupied by parties of Gentlemen. Among the numerous respectable pro cessions which we have witnessed during the last three months, we do not recollect a more splendid or better conducted procession than this. Before eight o'clock, Holborn and its immediate neighbourhood were all bustle and animation in collecting the vari• ous persons who were to compose the procession. One part assembled in Hatton-garden, another in Bedford-row, and the last division in Queen-square. By half-past ten the whole was condensed into one line of march, which commenced moving through Holborn, Broad-street, Oxford-street, Regent-street, into Piccadilly, for the direct road to Brandenburgh House. The lower division of the Parish took the van of the procession. The Beadles, bearing a well executed banner of St. Andrew on the Cross, with the inscription of " Right shall overcome might," were followed by trumpeters on foot, and a carriage, con taining Mr.HARMER, the mover, accompanied by the seconder of the Address. Theo followed the Depu tation and Committee in two carriages. Next came twenty-five carriages, filled with inhabitants of the Lower 'Liberty. Immediately succeeded the Beadles of the Upper Liberty, on horseback, bearing the in signia of their office ; then a young man on horse back, with a banner, on which was inscribed, "The Address of the United Parishes of St. Andrew, Hol born, above Bars, and St. George the Martyr;" caravan, drawn by two beautiful horses, tastefully decorated with ribands, containing an excellent band of music, playing the beautiful Scotch air of My bonny Highland [addle. On the front of the caravan was a large banner, emblematical of the titular Saints of these United Parishes: then the carriages which contained the proposer and seconder of the Address, and the Committee who conducted this portion of the pro cession. In the last carriage of the Committee was placed a beautiful banner with these inscriptions— " The Power of Public Of.inion"," Virtue Trium phant"—after which the procession extended to about fifty carriages, in which were intermixed Ladies and Gentlemen. Independently of the respectable appearance of the parties who occupied the carriages, the neat and ele gant dresses of the postillions, who were attired in very handsome yellow silk jackets, added consider ably to the beauty of the spectacle. The whole of the processions formed, at one time, a line of car riages and four exceeding one hundred and seventy in number. These, when viewed through the crowded streets along which they passed, had a most pleasing effect, particularly if the spectator had an opportu nity of contrasting the variety and splendour of the dresses, flags, and decorations. The Address of St. Andrew's, &c. was read by Mr. CLIFT; that from Witney, which was accompanied by a large deputa tion, was read by . Major CARTWRIGHT. The Ad dress of the Roman Catholic Congregations of the Metropolis was read by the Rev. RICHARD ELATES. The Address of the operative Coachmakers was accompanied by about twenty carriages and four, and read by Mr. IlEpsults. The Address from the Sawyers of the Metropolis was accompanied by s very numerous procession, in which were borne 32 flags, with various devices and mottoes. Among the latter we noticed the following : " The geeing's Guards, the People!" • ' 6 ' The Qusix happy, and the People freer " Fret not thyaelt because of Evil-doers!" " The Witked plot against Justice!" " The Workers of iniquity shall fall!" " A dreadful Sound is in their Ears!" " Minnows, Diestax, and Wltuaws, the Queen's Lawyers!" ' The Address from the City of Hereford was ac- 1 companied by a deputation of Ladies and Gentle. I men, and was read by Mr. SCUDAMORE, M.P. The' Addrels from Camberwell was accompanied by a Deputation of Ladies and Gentlemen. The Deputa tion accompanying the Address from Southampton went in a barouche and four, having four flags, on one of which was inscribed the number of signatures, 2,304. Mr. GORDON, M.P. attended by a Clergy man in his full canonicals, accompanied the Address from Cricklade, Mr. Sheriff WAI rum AN, accompanieclby his daugh . ter and a Gentleman, arrived in state at Branden burgh House, about three o'clock, to present Ad dresses to her MAJESTY from Kidderminster, Ciren ceiter, and Swansea. He was in full Court-dress, wearing his chain of office without his gown, and was received with her usual condescension by her MAJESTY, who was pleased to return most gracious answers. The elegance of the 'equipage excited ge neral admiration. • All the Addresses were most gracionsly received by her MAJESTY , who allocate din excellent health . . - sApr' and spirits. Her Menem, in the NUM Or me day, 'hewed herself' at therm% willow% tnd was tnrously cheered by the thoulligads Who occur= Luc grounds before the house, The presentation of each Address was marked by discharges of small artillery ?rum the River. Though the crowds were i MOMS!, during the whole of the day, we did sot hear of the htest disorder, or of any accident. THE EVENING STAR• LQNDON. ••; 7.

The Trial before the Lords, as our Readers will see by the proceedings of yesterday, goes on pre cisely in the manner in which we had prepared them to expect it would. The QUEEN'S enemies are now upon their trial—not her MAJESTY. Wham pity that the whole of them have not yet been dragged to light! This is now the object of the QUEEN'S Counsel, and the principal labour of those who oppose them ap pears to be. if possible, to prevent this exposure. But why all this labour? Have not pains been taken, over and over, to point out the unimpeachable charac ter of Colonel BROWN and his associates in the Milan Commission? May not the argument employed re specting the accusations offered against the QUEEN, "that the more clearly they were stated, and the greater the efforts to establish them, the greater would be the discomfiture of her enemies, and the more brightly would her MAJESTY'S character shine, should they fail in their proofs"—we say, may not this argument be with equal force applied to the course now pursued, by the QUEEN'S Counsel? The more they attempt to vilify.the honourable men—" all honourable men"— employed in the Milan Commission—the more bright and resplendent will their virtues appear, if her MA JESTY'S Counsel fail to prove, that they bribed a ser vant or servants to betray their trust and rob their master or masters of papers belonging to the QUEEN; that they employed agents to fee and suborn wit nesses to depose lies against her MAJESTY; that they, or some of them, had pm sonal intercourse with these suborned witnesses and gave them money; that pro mises cf great reward, and provision for life, were, through their agency, made to many individuals, to in duce them togive evidence against the Illustrious Per sonage whose ruin was sought to be effected by such corrupt, wicked, and diabolical means ? Ought not the Counsel against her MAJESTY rather to court than shun this new investigation? knowing, as they must know, the immaculate virtue of those whom it is now sought to exhibit as more infamous than that of a thief, inasmuch as those who seduce a man from the path of duty, mast be held more guilty, in the common estimation of mankind, than the one whom their money corrupts to steal, and to betray the trust reposed in him. We must say that, in our view of the case, the Counsel for the Bill act very unkindly towards the good. and virtuous lawyer VILMACARTA, and the amiable and honourable Colonel Baown, iu offering any impediments to the calling forth statements which might furnish them with the mewls of proviog a conspiracy against these pure individuals, and thus turning the tables back again upon the opposite party. But this is not all :—lt is known that Mr. PowELr. and Mr. Come—Gentlemen whose chmacters must be dear to the Counsel for the Bill—were at Milan, and connected with the Commission-*--may it not be said by ill-natured people (for what will not ill natured people say ?) that, possibly, their opposition to the having all the matters connected, or pretended to be connected with the Milan Commission brought to light, arises from a fear that, possibly, some foul matter may be thrown at these unimpeachable cha racters! Is it not then of importance that means should he afforded to furnish them with an opportunity of re butting, in a triumphant manner, every imputation that might be cast upon them ? Is this a matter of in difference ? if, indeed, these Gentlemen had, like the i QUEEN, been calumniated for years, by inveterate ene miest they might be supposed by this time to have be come a little callous, and to view with indifference every attempt to injure their fair fame ; but the case is otherwise with them, and if insinuations of any kind, against any person whatever, known to have been con nected with the Milan Commission, be not instantly wiped away, they may stick to them for years to come. Now, would not this be lamentable?— To calumniate the QUEEN, to be sure, is a common thing, and .many consider it as no crime ; but shall the same measure be meted out to her prosecutors also? Oh, that would be abominable—especially when the Arioawzr and Sotictroa-Gmmaist, may so easily white-wash them, merely by letting their accusers say the wont they can of them, and then :hew ing that there is not one word of truth in all or any of them having suborned witnesses, by bribes and pro mises, to swear falsehoods against the QUEEN, or paid any person whatever to steal papers belonging to her MAJESTY, 01 to pick locks for any such purpose ; or in any one of Oem buying performed any dirty work respecting this dirty prosecution. .1 We will noanrther detain our Readers by offering . . . . auy remorks on the evidence offered yesterday, know ing that they will peruse it with attention, and not without surprise—if anything can surprise them that may now be brought to light respecting the wicked conspiracy against her MAJZSTIG The report of this day is, that it is understood within the House, that the Bill will not be pressed to a division, bat in some manner got rid of; and that aniAddress will be proposed to the Kino, stating, that their Lordships base examined the charges against the QUZilip and recommend that her MA JESTY shoold.be censured for indiscretion and levity. —Time will chew what truth there is in this, but we shall be slow to believe the latter part of the report ; for, in our opinion, never did woman, placed in such circumstances as her MAJaSTY, act with more pru dence, circumspection, and propriety. But we speak - inaccurately, for never was any married woman— any Qusss—placed in such circumstances, before and that too by the negligence of those who owed her every kind of protection. FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE DEFENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS t The House resumed proceedings at ten o'clock this morning. Counsel being called in, The LORD CHANCELLOR said. that be had it in com mand from the House to inforni them, that the question on which the debate arose yesterday could not be put in the pre- sent stage of the proceedings. Mr. Baoeettast said, that there was another questionson which he wished to have their Lordship? opinion whether It should be put or not. lie understood their Lordships to have decided that he could not ask the witness Meoni to tell what Zangla told bleoai had been said to him (Zangla) by Colonel Brown-- in short, that Zangla himself must be called to prove the decla ration of Brown to him. Now. however singular it might ap pear, he must, injustice to himself and his Learned Friends, say, that the point negatived by the House they had not contended for. It had somehow or other been taken up by their Lordships themselves. without any suggestion front the bar, at least from his side of it. The point for which, with all due submission, he did contend, was this, that it' be could sheer such an acting oi Zangla himself, through the evidence of ?Seoul, who could speak of his own knowledge, as would shew Zangla to be a party to what her Majesty's Counsel called a conspiracy— The ATTOINDf•GILVILSAL felt it his duty to interrupt the Learned Counsel. He was now proceeding with an argument, when all he had to do was to put a question. The House had decided that the last question proposed could not be put. If her Majesty's Counsel had any other question to put, let them do so; and if be (the Attorney-General) saw any ground to object to it, he would state his objection, and it would remain with their Lordships to decide on the new case raised. Mr. Beounnau replied, that he was only following up that course which his Learned Friend Mr. Williams was pwsuing yes., terday, when interrupted by the Solicitor-General It was a course which had been distinctly pointed out by the Learned Judges, in the opinion which they had yesterday delivered, on the third point submitted to them. They had said, that evidence of a conspiracy to suborn witnesses against an accused party might be produced, with this qualification, that the proposed evidence should in some way be opened to the Court, in order to enable the Judge to form an opinion as to the probability of bringing the evidence home. This was exactly what lie was now desirous of doing ; he was about to sheer their Lordships how the evidence he was g o ing to adduce bore upon the ease. If the Counsel for the Bill. in the extreme slipperiness of their nature, meant to take an ob jection to the admissibility of that evidence, would it not be more convenient for them first to know what it was they had to object to? . rbe Arromtry-Giantaax said, that was just what they wanted. Let her Majesty's Counsel state their, nest question, and it would be seen whether it was of a nature calling for any objec tion. What he now objected to was, that her Majesty's At easwey-General was proceeding to argue when there was no to argot+ upon. Sotscima-thetaaar. said a few words on the same side. Mr. %sumo was beginning to speak, when The LORD CHANCELLOR said—" No, Mr. Williams; we must come to some fixed rule of proceeding. Mr. Brougham has stated what he proposes, and it is for the House to decide upon it." Mr. Witxtaxs hoped their Lordships would not refuse to allow him to say a few wards. The whole of the unnecessary discussion of ye s terday, about a ease which had never been fro-. posed or imagined by her Majesty's Counsel, Arose from his being interrupted in stating what it was they meant to prove as to Tangle. He trusted their Lordships would not leave the door open to a second misunderstanding and delay, but allow his Learned Friend now to complete that opening statement which be (Mr. Williams) had bees prevented, improperly prevented, from making yesterday. Earl GREY was of opinion that her Majesty's Counsel had a right to pursue the course in which they had just been Lula roped; it was perfectly consonant with the opinion given by Judges. m_ . d LIVERPOOL thought, that the Judges, when they of wetting the evidence, refeired to the original open in g .7Ze defelope after the Counsel on each side had opened the kW* the Mee 'lie the prosecution, and the ether the case for the defence, he (Lord lAverpool) did not think that there could be any spPplementary openings of parts of the case in the subse quent stages of the Joeneeeding. He must remark, too, that as far as he recollected, was not opened as part of the defence of her Maje sty. Learned Gentleman, who opened that defence, had said, that he did not charge conspiracy , bat merely that the proceeffirip of the agents fur the prosecution were such as persons engaged the most foul conspiracy would have adopted. Lord ERSKINE said, that the Judges in stating that there must be some introduction or the defence of conspiracy, did sot certainly allude to the original opening. Such a defence might not be known at first; it might arise out of the pro ceedings, or out of any drcumetauces coming newly to the knowledge of the party. And he would appeal to the candour of the Noble Earl opposite, whether, upon such a case newly asking, it would be right or fair to oppose Counsel in opening what this new ease was? The Earl of LAUDERDALF. said, that the course con tended fur by her Majesty's Counsel would completely earn - guish the possibility of going on with the case. It was alto gether • inverting the order of proceeding to preface a question with an argument, when perhaps no argument was needed. Lord DARNLEY said, if he understood the Noble Lord (Liverpool), it had been assumed by him that their Lordships were not at liberty to enter upon any points affecting the case be fore them, which had not been referred to in the opening for the defence. Fnum that doctrine he altogether dissented , as, if h Ft:Meet latitude were not given to her Majesty's Counsel, it would be impossible to proceed in this most extraordinary case with the slightest hope of justice. - Besides, the difficulties thrown in the way of her Majesty, must have rendered it impossible kr her Counsel to ascertain, at the period of opening the ease, circumstances which might arise in the course of the investiga tion, and that might be calculated to establish crimes that bad never been in the contemplation of those employed in the de fence. lie hoped, that seeing the insufficiency of the evidence in proof of the case, and that so many extraordinary things hal arisen to throw discredit upon the charges, their Lordship , would, at no very distant day, give up Abe case altogether, as the only expedient by which substantial justice could be done. The LORI) CHANCELLOR said he had yesterday cf pressed his reasons for differing from their Lordships upon the subject of receiving evidence, which their Lordships had thought proper to hear. It was a painful thing for him to he placed is such a situation; but he should never cease to declare, that no slander, no calumny, should prevent hint from conscientiously per me what he considered to be his duty—(Ater, hear. ) -7 that, in the present state of the case, their having per mitted the evidence to be entered into, the Omani for-her Majesty had a right to propose the question ,objected to by the Attorney-General, upon condition that be would state the object of the question, and that their Lordships =that object to be nothing more than to inculpate without any reference to, the guilt of others. Th ere Was, in his opinion, a very great difference between the evidence legally 19 be %waved on an indictment, and that which was 11, r 4 ~, ' . wit peen coW gobSt of 1 ogai pro , stvc that her i ; i11 kno iion inul no 1 and stro as tl Inds trial wit real So $P° and
