Lie could have but one Opinion, and that vas, that the Queen had been most cruelly treated; he there. fore rejoiced at her triumph. He verily believed that nothing induced Minister's to throw out the Bill but the apprehension that in the House of Common 3 the subornation of pei jury would have been made mani fest. lie did not believe that the fact of having but a small majority of nine was the real motive of drop ping the proceeding. The last family that sat upon theEni ; lish Throne, the Stuarts, had been degraded, dethroned, and expelled, by a majority of one. The question of Lord Melville's was can ied by a majority of one. The real motive for withdrawing the Bill was, the tear that the whole conspiracy would have been made manifest. Ile then alluded to the case of Zangia and of Rastelli, in both which instances the fact of a conspiracy was clear.. lie believed the existence of a conspiracy against her Majesty as firmly as he did his creed. It pained him much to alter his opinion of some of his Majesty's Ministers; he re gretted particularly to be obliged to do so with re spect to Lor.: Liverpool. had Lord Liverpool re tired from public lite six month ago, his fame and character would go down to posterity in a 'manner very different from that in which it will row go down. Tile V• e Thanks was then put and carried with acclamaot.ils. ALerman Woof) rose to return thanks. He said he w (mil,: always endeavour to stand before his fel lon-citizens as - an honest man ;he was at least, he II:0'111z, entitled to the credit of having acted a dis ested part in the case of her Majesty, but, in fact, was entitled to no praise, for there was no man, he believeJ, Paced in his situatioe, who would not have acted as he had acted. lle had in his po>ses s:on documents lvhich facts had borne out—he had iclidavits, which it was not considered necessary to produce ; and, above all, he had the most solemn de cimations of her Majesty that she was entirely inno cent—(AWaftic).-- He had known that persons had received 1m :;e sums of money, and some of them tides or honour, to watch the conduct of her Ma jesty. Ile had se ..11 some of those persons when he was in Italy. It was a matter of notoriety, that they received iar,e sums of money, out cf what fund no une ; but they were planted in coffee-houses and pe)lic places to vil y the Queen—(Hear, hear!) He could na•ae sonic of them, who held the most attocious iaiTuage. The Meting was aware, how e% et, tact the calumniators of the Queen were not con fined to tL rank of such persons—even a branch of th e Roya; F a mily had been represented to have made tr.,e of exples.sioi:s so foul and so beastly, as to bring hortm to die heart of any man who heard them— (L4),../ and 'hint murnmr4). Such expressions, had utey fallen hum any man, would excite indigna tion—imOng tiom such a quarter, they could not be head w 'thou, a:3 , olute horror. He could name some of the of the Queen, who.bad been offered fifty Nap feints at a time, and questions put to them, anJ answers put down for them which they were de sired to sign—they refused to do so, and kept the nalacy. Such persons were in the country, and ready to be called—(Hear, hear, hear). With the k so. ledge of these facts, he would not be :::y the name of a man—certainly not the name of an Englishman—if he had not acted as he had done. No man, he hoped, would have been so cor rupt or so infamous, as not to have done the same, if placed in the same situation. The support which her Majesty had received from the people, reflected honour upon them. The heart of the Queen was equal to that o 1 any other woman living, for gratitude! He hoped and believed that she would not forget that she had been saved by the people of this country— ( Cheers ),--Nothing on earth could have protected her, but the loud and general expression of the country; she had been saved by the voice of the peo ple, and she never would forget them! (Applause). After the worthy Alderman concluded, the Meet • ing was dissolved. THE EVENING STAR. Our Correspondent T.

Ever since the hue and cry was revived against the QUEEN, when it was known that she had deter mined to come to England, we have been used to witness such aberrations of intellect, on the part of ber enemies, that nothing they do or say can excite much surprise. To be consistent in anything but fully, would, in them, be an inconsistency of which they do not appear capable. It is impossible to dis cnver the reasoning that led to an offer offsAy thou powids a year to her MAJESTY, on condition 'fiat she should stay abroad. It would be possible, bat for their subsequent conduct, to conceive that tais offer was made from a conviction, in the mind of the ninisters, that her MAJESTY was really the guilty %%man which they wished to find her; for they may be supposed to have reasoned thus:—"' No guilty \ per- SIMS will, with their eyes open, thrust themselves into a situation which may lead them to exposure and piuishmetg. If we let the QUEEN know, by a bold hvimal of our intentions, that we have obtained proofs of her milt, and are determined to prosecute her, it she shall dare to come to England ; and at the same time shall hold out to her such a douceur, on ovulation of her staying away, as may enable her to live is splendoiti abroad, with het...paramour EON' the vile wretches II there can be no doubt that we 'shall succeed in oar object." It is possible they may have reasoned thos : and this shell that it is possible they had become the dupes of their own Machiavelian policy. Spies had been employed by one or mote persons, wholt is hoped, for the sake of justice, may yet be dragged to light, to discover evil doings on the part of the.Ques:v. .These spies, to shew that they well deserved the pay which they were receiving Ewhether out of the Secret Service Money or not it may be difficult to discofer3, took care to furnish information agreeable to the chaste and delectable palate of their employers, who at length, to render surety doubly sure, got the Milan Commissio.t ap pointed, whose " pious labours" confirmed their de lusion. We may say of them, like the rustic speak ing Rf the sick man—" having got the mollygrunts in their belly, they sent for an apothecary, but, in stead of mending, they got worse: a physician was therefore called in, and then—it was all over with them." After taking► such pains to deceive them selves, it is not surprizing that they should, as some fools speculated, expect to find the QUEEN "ready to jump at their proposal ;" for no conclusion could be more reasonable—had their premises been true.— But how came it that, on seeing " the boldness of in nocence" manifested by her MAJESTY, in coming to London to face her accusers, these men, who persuade themselves that they monopolize all the wisdom of England, were never once led to look at the reason. ing which induced them to meet the QUEEN at St. Omer's, with a threat of punishment in the one hand, and offering, with the other, a bribe of fifty thousand pounds a-year to stay away ? Had they done this, would they not instantly have inferred the QUEEN'S innocence.? national men could not have come to any other conclusion, it' their previous hope, of her .MasEsrY's acceptance of the absolution and bribe, rested on a conviction of her guilt; for rational men would have known, that nothing short of pure innocence could resist such a temptation to commit and continue in sin—and that too with the approval of such pious men as the LORD CHANCELLOR of England, Lord LrvEnpoor., Lord CASTLEREAGH, and Mr. VANstTrAar! They had measured the might of the threat, and the magnitude of the offered bribe, by their own standard of moral compliance. They had made both sufficiently great to insure the acquiescence of any guilty individual, especially when coupled with the knowledge which the QUEEN had, that the bottomless purse of John Bull was at their command, to enable them to execute their threat in proper stile; their insult, as it ought to be, had been thrown back in their face ; and yet, con sistent in folly,lnstead of making proper inquiries into the conduct and character of their informants— their Commissioners—their Agents and Spies, to see whether they had not imposed on them (since no guilty person, accordirig to their own estimate, could have refused their offer), they still persevered in. persecuting the QUEEN. We have been taking the most merciful view pos- , _ sible of the conduct of the QUEEN'S persecutors. We say, it is the quintessence of kindness to ascribe it to madness and insanity ; for, though every man, in his proper mind, saw, by the fortitude with which the QUEEN faced her enemies (when they, too, offered her a golden bridge by which to retreat from the conflict), that the charges preparing against her could be founded only on suborned and perjured evidence, we must not believe that Ministers saw it ; for this would be to impute to them the character of the worst of villains. But what shall we say of men who, when rem. dered ashamed of the evidence brought in support of the Bill, could yet argue in this way :—" The Monarchy must be supported,"—meaning thereby, that the QUEEN should be sacrificed by passing the Bill of Pains and Penalties? Mercy on us! Sup port the Throne by conniving at injustice! Who but the most stupid, or the most wicked of men, could ever imagine such a thing? "It is an ahomi• nation for Kings to commit wickedness : for the throne is established by righteousness."—Solomon. Whenever and wherever a throne seeks to be sup ported by a perversion of justice, it has been sup ported too long already: but the throne of the Bri tish Empire requires no such support : it has only to enforce the just administration of the laws, to be upheld in all its wonted splendour and popularity ; and whoever would recommend a contrary course are, in reality, its worst enemies. Another folly committed by some of the sapient men who so long and so earnestly occupied them selves in endeavouring to fix crimes upon the QUEEN, was their vain endeavour to stimulate each other into a belief, that the Public were " wholly indifferent to the issue." " The Public indifferent to the issue r The man who could make such a statement must be impervious to the most intense light—a mass of opa city—if he still continues of this belief. Indeed, when he made it, he gave a display of wisdom, which we can compare only to that of the man who, with a candle, examined. his sun-dial to know the hour of the night, and never failed to learn. that he had previously guessed the time to a minute. ltut are the ignorance, stupidity, or infatuation of the KINGS Ministers to be held as a sufficient cover' also fur the wicked men who misled them by their machinations acid conspiraciesagainst her MAJZSTY ? No: this must not be. The House of Cm:mons— I the Representati ve s ei t he P eop l e , if tee erre iNformed—will surely attend to the voice of the Pedple, and save the Conspiracy sifted to the bottom, that the guilty may meet the just punishment of their demerits. Shall the crime of Ticasok be committed, 'and due diligence not be employed to brii4 the ci i minals to justice ? Impossible ; when it is recollected that those who conceal treasonable acts, or glue coun tenance or protection to the perpetrators, become, by the Laws of England, accessaries to the crime. It is no slight danger that the Kingdom has escaped, nor will the Country fail, by proper Addresses, to remind their Representatives of the high duties imposed upon them by the result of the late attempt to destroy the QUERN CONSORT Of ENGLAND. We have yet one fact to notice, to-lay, but whether it is to be accounted for on the score of mere igno rance, or consummate impudence, we shall leave others to determine. The majority for the third reading of the 831 of Pains and Penalties was nine. Lord LIVERPOOL, in his" last speech and confession," on the demise of the Bill, took credit to himself for not pressing it farther, in the present state of the public feeling, with so small a majority. Now, the fact is, and his Lordship could not be ignorant of it, that, though the nominal majority was nine, the legnl majority was three, against the Bill; for in criminal cases tried by the Peers in the Court of Parliament, the majority condemning must, by Statute, consist of twelve at least (see Forster, 247, and Kel, ;56; and Blackstone, vol. iv. chap. 27). These are this words of BLACKSTONE The " trials by the Peers of Great Britain differ little in " the method and regulation of proceedings, ex- . " cept, &c. &c. and except that the Peers need not " all agree in their verdict; but the greater number, " CONSISTING OF TWELVE AT TH2 LEAST, will con " elude and bind the minority."—So much for the boasted moderation of the Quaztes enemies in giving up the Bill. They did not give it up. The real legal majority of the Lords strangled the Hydra. Her MAJESTY, with that proper sense of dignity which marks every part of her conduct, has com manded her Vice-Chamberlain to write to Lord LIVERPOOL, to demand a Palace and Establishment in every respect suitable to her rank, being. deter mined that her future residence shall be wholly in this country ;—.a wise resolution ; for we have not here, as in Italy, an open market, in which the ser vice of an assassin may be bought with money. Should her MAJESTY ever again quit this.country, we are certain that none of our Insurance Offices would take a policy on her life at a lower premium Aran 95 per cent. per annum; but white in England they will do it at the common premium ; for, in England, not a villain on the face of the earth will dare to hurt a hair of her head.

EN ETER, NovEmaait 14.—The welcome news re specting the vile measure which has ree:ntly bee pending in the House of Lords against the Queem. reached this city as early as six o'clock on Saturday evening last. A simulzancous expression of joy seemed to pervade the iniabitants ; the beds of St. Sidwell's Church struck up a merry 'peal ; and' we believe it to be not the want of an almeit universal enthusiasm that those of the other Pari-li Churches but partially followed the example. Firing of pistols, discharging rockets, with other demonstrations of re• joicing. filled the streets, and " The QUEEN for ever 1' resounded from one extremity of the city to the other. Ilastmensu ITH.—Her MAJrSTY, at about ten o'clock on Monday night, when the town was in the height of splendour, rode through Hammersmith, as far as Teresa -terrace; her horses were led by several Gentlemen of the town, who bore lighted flambeaux in their hands, as did others who followed the card riage. Her MAJESTY was received with every de monstration of respect fiom the inhabitants, who cheered her as she passed along. Her MAsestrir was headed by the same persons with flambeaux, who accompanied her to Brandenbnrgh House, where she alighted, highly gratified at the appearance of the town, and tie manner in which the populit:e testified, their respect. Fire-arms and fire-works were dis charged in and near the town, and the greatest joy prevailed. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

It had been a heavy gale the day before.. In such cases sunk rocks are not easily discovered, especially in the dark, as the sea lies smooth about them for a time, and in a . moment rises with tremendous force. Upon one of these rocks, very near the shore, the young men rowed, the boat overset, one of them was drowned, the other two were taken up by a boat from the shore in an almost lifeless state, and it is uncertain whe ther they will recover.

Poiramoueu, Nov. 11.—Last night the towns of Portsmouth and Portsea presented the gratifying spectacle of a General Illumination, to celebrate the happy event of the abandonment, by Ministers, of the charges which they had preferred against our gra cious and much-injured QUEEN : and it must afford her MAJESTY the sincerest gratification to hear, that in the first Naval arsenaland port in the Kingdom, where the influence of those who have been her per secutors most extensively prevails, that here her cause has made such a deep impression in her favour, that neither the suggestions of selfishness, nor the interference of timeserving agency, could repress a manifestation of it.
