TILE Q L'EE.V. Tier nure're has, during the last week, remained simewhat secluded ; she has not come to town, nor I,.iee any Addresses been pre:Tnted to her. Her M sins - re, however, has not been spending her time levrofitably ; she has devoted several hours in each slay to reviewing the case which has been brought against her by her accusers, and in writing down ste_b suggestions as may assist her regal Advisers in conducting her defence. Iler MAJZSTT is stated to l: eve been much socked at some of the charges de tailed in the evidence. She said she was prepared to believe that she should discover a good deal to sur prise her, but she could not imagine that the inge nuity of the most depraved could have carried them the lengths to which some of the witnesses have gone. Her MAJESTY'S confidence as to the perfect establish ment of her innocence in the minds of the great body of her subjects, however, is unabated, and she looks with cheerfulness to the moment when the proceed ings in the House of Lords shall be resumed. She has had repeated interviews with her legal Advisers. What is Me case? Is it the case of a Lady living in the bosom of domestic felicity, sate in a husband's confidence, and abusing that confidence to the pollu tion of his family, and the destruction of his hap piness? Is it a case like that put by a great Orator, of a husband retiring to his family, and being obliged " to start back with hotgor, when instead of seeing his own image reflected from their infant features' he sees that of the destroyer of his happiness." Oh, no ;—the joys of domestic life, so justly appreciated by every female heart, were scarcely known to this illustrious Lady, for a few short months had not flown over her head, ere she saw herself deserted by the man who had sworn to love, honour, and cherish her, and exposed alone in the midst of an unfeeling world. And yet this is a charge brought against a person left in these circumstances, and coming, or supposed to come, from the very person who left her. It is this circumstance which has outraged the feelings of every person capable of thinking on the subject, and convinced them, with an effect stronger than that of any reasoning, that one party in this case, has been more sinned against than sinning. The Liturgy of the Church was altered so as to suit the state of the ROYAL FAMILY, and her MaJzsrv's name was omitted. Little probably as Ministers deemed of this omission, considering is merely as a piece of Court etiquette, it is not easy to conceive a more un hallowed mixture of the cabals of a Court, with the solemnities of devotion. When it is considered that this mutilated Liturgy was to cramp the devotions of some millions of people, it seems that for their own paltry ends they were willing to carry their disputes into the House of Gon, and had determined that they who were not to sit on the same throne on earth, should be prevented from appearing together before the same throne in Heaven. Mr. HUME has received an Address to her MAJESTY, unanimously signed by the Burgesses of Guild and the Trades of the ancient City of Dundee. Saturday se'nnight, a number of respectable indi rlduals in Paisley resolved to prepare and forward an Address to the QUEEN. The Address to her MAJESTY from Glasgow has a!teady received 26,000 signatures. In the parish of St. Pancras, Chichester, and su barb:., a Meeting of the Inhabitants (230 in number) took place, as previous notice ha i been given, in the Vestry-room, on Monday evening, to consider of the propriety of•addressing her MAJEaTY, which was car ried unanimously, and received 223 signatures. We learn, that when Majocchi, or some of the other v:ti..2s::2s, being questioned whether they made their evi.ience on the Queex's trial the subject of conver sation amongst themselves? replied in the negative, Lord 1-IuLLAND observed, that if such were the case, IT would be glad to be admitted to their society, as it must be much more agreeable than any company he bad been in for some time past! It is said that BILZ4AIdI is at present in Italian Switzerland, at Locarno, nn the north side of the Lago Maggiore. A letter from Carlsrube, dated Sept. 14, says : " It is announced that Mr. BROUGHAM, the brother cf the Quuis of ENGLAND'S ATTORNEY-GENERAL, iS 011 his way to Italy, for the purpose of finding wit nesses who can give evidence in favour of her MA :I:STY. It appear-, however, that his mission is not limited to Italy. He has travelled through different rats of Germany. On his arrival here he came om Frankfort, and Cassel, in Hesse. He has endea voured to make some recruits. He wished to en gage, among others, M. d'ENTE, Master of the Cere monies to her Royal Highness, to go as a witness to England, but he refused. What he knew, of himself, he said was insignificant. With regard to what he 7r: ad heard, there was toe little certainty in it to render it the subject of a deposition, more especially as he -did not recollect the sources of the reports." confinement of the witnesses in Cot. on-garden must, according to TACIT us, have deprived :item of all I; ei r little remaining virtue—Etiamfera aninzalia, si Vaasa teneas, virtutis obleviscuntur.—Histor. lib. 4.

Mr. BROUGHAM was to leave Brougham Hall for 1. , ,rd0n as to-day. The Learned Gentleman, we are c , uemely glad to hear, enjoys good health. , PRESENTATION OF THE ADDRESSES THIS DAY This being the day appointed by her MAJILSTT to receive a number of the Addresses which had bee' voted to her during the last fortnight, the West End of the Town presented an unusual bustle. As early as eleven o'clock, people were crowding in great numbers along Piccadilly, and th'ir numbers rapidl) increased in the course of the morning. Near Hyde Park gate, and in the Green Park, thousands were assembled ; and the road was lined with carts and waggons, in which seats were placed to accommc.date such as would pay for a sight of the procession. The Deputation from the Ward of Farringdon Without was the first that proceeded to Branden burgh House ; it consisted of thirty-seven carriages, twenty-eight of which were with four hones, and was preceded by the Officers of the Ward on horse back. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN was in his own carriage. The whole wore white &wain, and seve ral of the Common Council were in full dress. The Deputation from Spitalfields was next, and it was truly a goodly show." There were twentf eight carriages, twenty-five of which were drawn by four horses. The postilions were dressed in yellow and light blue satin jackets. These were followed in rapid succession by the other Addresses, and presented such a long continua tioa of carriages, that one might well exclaim, in the language of Macbeth. " What! will the line stretch out to the crack o' doom ?" The Deputation from the Ward of Aldersgate consisted of both Ladies and Gentlemen, lom whom there are separate Addresses. It consisted of eigh teen carriages and four, and was preceded, like the other City Processions, by the Parish Officers i.n horseback. All the carines, except one or two, had two or more Ladies in them, dressed in the first style of elegance, and, as far as we could recognise, of the highest respectability. Every preparation is making by the Lightermen and Witermen, plying on the river Thames, to give the most splendid effect to an aquatic excursion on Wednesday next to 13randenburgh House, to present an Add:es+, to which they have agreed, to her MA JESTY. They are to be accompanied by numerous pleasure-boats and band. of music. Flags will be hoisted on board the different barges. PRUSSIAN LoAN.—The Half-yearly Dividend on the Prussian Loan of L:5,000,000 sterling, contracted by Mr. N. M. Itormscittoo, in London, will be paid, as usual, at the Counting-house of that Gentleman, New -court, St. Swithin's lane, on the Ist of October next, and every succeeding day, between the hours of ten and two. Sir GRAHAM MooRE arrived at Gibraltar on the 25th ult. in the ItocitEroar, from Portsmouth for Malta. The American sloop of war Peacock arrived the same day from the United States, which had parted company from the Columbus, 74; both being intended to form part of the American squadron in the Mediterranean. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—MiSS GREENE ap peared on SattirJay night as Miss Wardour, in The Antiquary. She gave proofs of delicacy of tone and beauty of execution be) and her best effot ts in the Bermrs' Opera. and has thus obtained in a different school of composition, additional praise for the ver satility as well as the taste of her powers. There was a second very gratifying novelty—Mr. FARREN, in the Antiquary, which he perlorined with great humour, and with A striking fidelity of conception in his person and manner. The other principal parts, in the hands of Messrs. BLANCHARD, EMERY, An zorr, FARLEY, and Mrs. FAucIT, were supported in the best manner. The Opera was followed by the Ballet of Joconde. The opposition to the Italians was feebler than on its preceding performance; there was, however, still an almost incessant, though un equal conflict, through the whole Ballet. . HAYMARKET THEATRE.—SAturday evening, after the play of Guy Mannering, which again received the support of SitAHAM'S talents in the character of Henry Bertram, a Musical Farce, in two acts, called Over the !Water, was performed for the first time. It is the offspring of the prolific pen of Mr. THEODORE HooK, and is another proof of the zeal and activity of the Managers of this Theatre, who, short as their season is, and now almost at its close, seem ever pre pared with a succession of novelties. The following is a description of the plot: Tapley (J. Russet t), a gay young Englishman, has eloped from Paris with the daughter of (bunt Florian, but on his ar rival at Paris is met by a letter from his father, annoilusing a marriage projected for him with Miss Patty Ang;fiiso Bun (Mrs. BALER), the heiress of Mr. Deputy Bun. He leaves his mistress at Calais, and on reaching Dover encounters the heiress on her flight to France with another lover, Mr. Doddery (Oxseitav),an errant Cockney, on whom she has already conferred the tick of husband. They proceed across the Channel before Trapley dis covers who they are, when he follows them to Calais, and to shew his power in the arts and devices of Intrigue, be contrives to carry off the bride. As he is not in earnest, and realy at tached to Mademoiselle Florian, he restores her to the alarmed Cockney, at the moment he considered his fate inevitably sealed, and avows his passion for his first mistress, to whom he is united. This little Farce was extremely well received, not only on account of its own merits, but in consequence of the acting, which was in the best style of the ludi crous. Mr. OXBERRY'S Cockney produced abundant laughter, and Mrs. BAKER, as Miss Bun was greatly applauded. There was also some good music, in the execution of which Miss H. CORRI was very success ful, and particularly in the popular air of •• Roy'e Wife," which was excored. Coati-F.X.CHANGE, MARL -LANE, SEPT. 25.—The supply of Wheat this morning was very considerable from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk; which, owing to its inferior quality, met exceed ingly heavy sale, at a decline of from Ss. to 4s. per quarter from the prices of this day sennight ; a large quantity remained on hand at the close of the Market, for which there were no offers ; 1 the price of Flour having been reduced last week Ss. per sack. We had a tolerable supply of Barley from Suffolk, which article is full Is. per quarter cheaper, having but few buyers at present. Notwithstanding the magnitude of the arrivals of Oats, they sold freely at the prices of last Monday. In Beans and Peas there is no alteration. Sliarroirtrazo DIAKKET, SEE% 25.—Beef, 4s. Od. to Se.

The Storm, Vatasnrnre, has arrived at Dundee from Davis' Straits, with 18 fish, 230 tuns: spoke on the 11th August the Bon Accord, with 15 fish; 12th, Elizabeth, eight fish: 16th, Letitia, 12 fish, and Middleton, 14 fish. The Swedish Major GRAANSR, who embarked last year to open a new commercial communication between Chili and India, through the Pacific Ocean, discovered in the voyage a group of islands that bas net been noticed by any preceding navigator.— The largest of these islands received the name of Oscar's Island. Friday was launched at Plymouth, the Kurt, of 74 guns. built on the principles suggested by Sr Roma: Sermon, Knt. with round stern. Sir liven Mains, one of the Commis sioners of the Navy, was in attendance on the launch, attended by Sir ROSERT. In the storm on Wednesday last, two vessels were driven ashore at Brighton, and one of them was completely wrecked. She was driven ashore opposite to Middle-street, her sides broken in, and full of water. The master and crew were saved, but in an instant a set of ruffians set to work to plunder the wreck, and they had carried off everything that was portable, and were busily employed in carrying off the coals, which was her cargo, when Mr. Justice Bares arrived, and sent for a detachment of troops to disperse the mob, which he happily effected, but not one of the ruffians was taken. . Extract from the Nettfatowland Casette of the 29th ult.— " We are happy to learn, by a schooner arrived lately in six days from the Labrador, that the fishery there was likely to turn out much better than the last accounts from that quarter left any room to anticipate. The catch for a short time past had been pr e tty brisk, and upon an average there was a proba bility that a saving voyage would be made. A vast number of American vessels had been on the coast, but they had all gone home ; they had done much worse than any of our vessels, owing to their having no cod-seines. The fishery about Twilin gate and Green's-pond has been remarkably successful. His Majesty's surveying sloop Inspector arrived on Sunday from the northward. We understand she will sail again immediately, with the view of ascertaining something more certain concerning the Virgin Rock, off Cape Race."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BOXING AT RED - AT?. The long expected battle between finnipttries and Alfiwdot2, has at length taken place. A dispute between those two cham pions arose at the door of a lodgiog-houst;, at Redcar, when Men doza challeng u Humphries otr, and without further delay, they repaired t ham Green, whets the combat immediately be gun • Henderson was second to Mendoza, and Thomp so n se conded Humphries. Round 1. Mendoza entered t)te ring, like a man confident of success ; whilst Humphries, fro in his nervous h nit. seemed to be in want of a little cognise to revive his spirits. endoza c..nuti,:oteu a furious attack upon his antagonist, which was feebly resisted by 1 luntpl.:ies, and Mendoza eendi g a left hand hit, which plumped Humphries over the right temple, he dropped like a lump of sugar candy.— Betting 2 to 1 on Mendoza. - - - 2. Humpblies this round appeared to enter the ring with a little more confidence, and commenced by a good rally upon his antagonist, which was returned wilt fury, but ilu inphries fought with coolness and appeared to thew a little science, which so ag gravated , endoza ' that he fought like a madnot... o being thrown off his guard, he received a blow over his bowsprit, which caused the dard to flow plentifully.—Even betting. 3d. and last.--Both having got wind, tl:ey entt.r,cl the ring with a determination to put an end to the contest ; both rallied and met, hit and received with equal success, Mendoza shewing a great deal of Johnson's science ; at le..gth both closing, a most desperate milling took place, which lasted upwards of five mi nutes, when both dropt to the ground like two rotten figs. lfttnamcs.—Mendoza, though fifteen years olds than Hnm phries, proved to have the better bottom ; and it was observed by a spectator, that Humphries knew how to handle a yard wand, but *hewed himself quite deficient in the use of his fists. Humphries pretended that he gave up because he was tiled of beating his adversary; but to the spectator it was obvious that he was completely done and out of wind ; and when Mendoza challenged hint out again, he (:traggadocia like) shewed a white feather, and chose to withdraw.

An extraordinary circumstance took place yester day evening, in the Church of St. Sepulchre, Snow hill. About a quarter past seven o'clock, a respect able looking man, who was seated in one of the pews in the centre of the church, stood up suddenly, and vociferated some incoherent expressions, and pulling from his side pockets a pair of loaded pistols, he brandished them about in each hand, when a Ge;.. tleman in the next pew - attempted to seize the pistol , . The Clergyman came down from the gulpit, he being the most conspicuous person, and most likely to at tract the notice cf the maniac, for such we may sup pose him to be; he kept every person at a di,tance, and turning round, looked up to the organ gallery, each side of which was crowded with charity chil dren, and levelling the pistol he held in his right han,!, he fire.' it into the gallery. A scream of hor ror was instantly echoed from all parts of the church, and great confusion prevailed. He was fottunately secured before he had time to fire the second pistol, which was wrested from him, and found to be heavily loaded. The maniac was conveyed to the watch house, in Cow-cross. Several of the children were trampled on and dreadfully hurt. The following is the copy of a printed paper which he threw about after he fired the pistol : THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION Spoken of by Damn., the Prophet, that he shall stand in the holy Place, is THE ORGAN. It is the Image of the Kingdom of Antichrist THE MUSIC. B A B Y L ON The BEAM, I • II • 111 IV •V• VI • VII VIII b b b b ' The Rev. Clergyman, and several other persons, questioned the untortunate man as to the interpreta tion of those mysterious figures, as also the motives which could drive him to the commission of such a violent act; but his answer was in a foreign tongue, unknown to all present: however, he soon after ad dressed them in very good French, and explained, that the figures below the letters were intended to represent the different notes on the organ, and that the word formed by the letters above was the true construction which the Holy Prophet had put on those notes. For those reasons he had a particular aversion to all organs, and, as it was his wish to en lighten the world upon the subject, he had prepared about six hundred hand-bills in the English language, which he had distributed whenever an opportunity presented itself; but much difficulty was thrown in the way of his charitable intentions, owing to his ignorance of the language of this country. However, as he could not address the people in their own tongue, he had provided himselt with a pistol, by firing which he thought he should be able to con.• mand attention. He gave his name David K.ruskline, and also the address of a British (Mice/ resitting at the Bell Inn, Holborn. This Gentleman was imme diately applied to, and his account of the prisoner was, that his father was a merchant at Konigsberg, in Prussia, and that the prisoner had been clerk to him, but had ran away, being at that tune generally - believed to be insane. It is not known whethet the pistol contained a ball; but a gun-maker who exa mined it, expressed his conviction that it did; how• ever, it was not found.
