The Queen's Persecutors " have gone so far " That should they wade no more, Returning were as bad as to go o'er," and therefore the first step in the proceedings against her, was taken on Thursday. We have been studious to give the proceedings as fully as possible, and are thereby prevented enlarging in our ohservations on the subject. Her Majesty goes to, and returns from, the House of Lords amid increased enthusiasm every day. Some of the most respectable houses now exhibit inscriptions complimentary to her, and many flags are waved flom the windows as her carriage passes. We know of no description that can convey so good an idea of her constant reception as that given by the Duke of Gloucester to his Duchess of Bolingbroke's entry into London— " You would have thought the very windows spake, So many cried, God save thee Bolingbroke."— Richard 11. The state of Richard the Second, which follows this, may give an idea applicable to some one else— " —E'en so, or with much more contempt Men's eyes did scowl on Richard, No tongue cried, God save him."--- We this day insert the Letter from the Queen to the King ;—it is a document which will be perpe- tuated by the historic page long after the subject of it shall be mouldered into dust; and we rejoice to add our belief, that it will make co:►verts of all those who have not hitherto been her tiien4s, excepting, of course, those whose interest is their Idol, and who sacrifice all on its shrine. We believe we may almost exclaim with the Poet, " She hd.s no for. " But whit am such to ileaun," THE NATIONAL REGISTER. We have received Paris Papers of Tuesday last. The latest accounts from Palermo, in these Papers, are to the 21st ult. A small number of soldiers, who escaped the slaughter of tl►e 17th, succeeded in seizing the fort of CasteHamm. In this post they defended themselves until the 19th, at night; but, their ammunition and provisions having failed them, they were obliged to surrender. The people shut them up in dungeons, where they are guarded by the galley slaves, who were liberated at the tno• went of the revolution. These, to the number of 5000. joined to several hundred of peasants, gave the law to the whole city. Nevertheless, the Arch. bishop of Palermo and the Provisional Junta had obtained so much influence over the people as to prevent the farther effusion of blood, though not to cause all disorder to cease. It is said that the commander Acato was the principal author of the insurrection. The Prince Catolica was on the same day said to be at the head of the insurgents; but, thinking at one time that the constitutional party would get the upper: ind, he quitted the ranks of the people to juin the garrison, and he survived that defection only one hour. His head was exposed by the infuriated populace. The news from Messina is still satisfactory. The Constitutith of the King. dom of the Two Sicilies has been proclaimed there, in the midst of the acclamations of the inhabitants, and the enthusiasm of the troops of the garrison.— The Gazelle de France mentions a rumour, that a meeting of Sovereigns is to take place this autumn at Pest. The report of an action between the Dutcl► squadron, in the Mediterranean, and the Algerines, is contradicted Before her Majesty entered the House on Thurs day, the cloudy state of the morning yielded but a dim light. As soon as her Majesty had taken her seat, there was a sudden but evanescent exhibition of the full light of the sun. The attention of her Majesty remained exclusively fixed upon the pro ceedings in which their Lordships were occupied. Once or twice she put her hand upon her cheek, but she did not much vary the position of her head, un. less when Lord Liverpool first rose. She glanced at his Lordship with a singularly powerful, and, we thought, an indignant eye. But, after that, her Majesty remained entirely occupied in attending to the debate which arose, and seemed to evince no feeling either of agreement or dissent with any of the arguments or assertions which were stated on either side. The following are the names of witnesses moved for to be summoned on behalf of the Quern :—The Earls of Guildford, Clare, and LiamJAl; the Lords of Gleubervie, Somerset, Montague; the Honourable Win. Burrell, and Capt. Kings Anthony Buller St. Leger, Esq. —Mills, Esqr.; Sir William Gell, H. Holland, M. D. and the Hon. K. Craven—the Ladies Charlotte Lindsay, Elizabeth Forbes, Charlotte Bury, and Bentinck. Mr. 11. C. Sturt will shortly lead to the altar Lady Charlotte Brudenell, youngest daughter of the Earl of Cardigan. Simms OF A MOUNTAIN ---A high ridge of mountains on the Moselle, called the Sieben Uhren Berg, has been observed for some years past to have in it very large clefts, which for the last five years measured above a foot in breadth ; thus exciting in the inhabitants of the adjacent banks no unreason able apprehension of an approaching fall of part of the mountain. This ha now taken place. On the 7th ofJuly, in the evening, earth and stones were seen rolling down from the summit, which continued increasing in company till four o'clock in the morn ing, when a whole mass of rock came loose, and fell with such violence into the Moselle, that it foteed the water out of its channel, overflowed the opposite bank to some distance, and drifted away the vessels lying at Bruttig. The damage done is incalculable ; it appears that about 'lO vineyards have been pre cipitated with the rock into the river. The moun tain on the opposite side, called the Kessel, likewise threatens to tall. As this mountain is rent and turn wit!' frightful clefts, as well nt the top as in the middle and lower parts, and the fr. nt part had sunk three feet on the morning of the SLII, and large masses continually rolled down. It is to be feared that the whole enormous body will hill into the Moselle, and fill up the greater part of the channel, which would make the river overflow its bunks, and cause the most dreadful ravages. The United Incorporations of Mary's Chapel, Edinburgh, at their general quarterly meeting, held on Monday se'nnight, unanimously resolved to pre- LtAt an Address to her Majesty. YESTERDAY'S PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. sivivitumr, AUGUST, 19. The en and without doors was of trilling amount in num bers. Al lane o'clock the foot gourds came on the ground, the horse followed in about 20 Minutes. The same arrange ments were enforced for preventing crowd and confusion iu the admissions of strateeei s. The LORD CHANCELLOR eutercd the House at ten minutes before ten o'clock, and prayers were read. It was currently reported that the Queen's indisposition • would prevent her Majesty from attending this day. At ten minutes after ten the Honse was called over. The Duke °CC larence a Ntlo,gized for the absence of Lard Keith. The following were defaulters : Lord Moult Or., Lord Viscount Falmouth, Ead VALIde• grave, Duke of Newcastle. MOTION or LORD KING. Lord KING row, and said, that be noxiously seized that whirl, wits the last and only time on which) he would be able to express his opinion to their Lordships, or that they could comistently listen to such au opiniuu, that it would he wise in the llou3e to review its proceedings, and see if they could not be altogether gut rid of. Nothing which he had yet beard upon the nature of Bilk of Pains and Penalties had, in the least degree, removed his objections to them. His Lordship here repeated all the reasons which have hitherto been urged against the Bill, and concluded a argumentative speech by moving—" That it is the opinion of the Pet re. of this House, that it is not necessary to the public interest, nor conducive to public benefit, for the Bill before the House to pass into a Law." The Earl of LIVERPOOL opposed the motion, and roncladed his speech by moving that Counsel be now called in. Lail tilt EY rose, and in a speech replete with legal argu- - mew, replied to the Larl of Liverpool's objections to the mode of wort -rib iig by impeachment, which he• contended, was the mode intruded by the Constitution (when it in. trusted their Lordships with the power) to meet cases like the present. The Noble Earl concluded with saying he could not rote for Lord King's motion, but that be should move an amendment for suspending the proceedings on the present Bill. The House divided on Lord King's —Nun-contents, 181. A second division took place on Earl Grey's motion— contents, 04—non-contents 179. Counsel were then called to the) bar, and the Attorney. General proceeded to state the facts. He commenced with n history of her Majesty's life since Iter departure from Eng land io 1814. He biought it down to her residence at Milan, in the October of that year, when she engaged Bee. gami in her service. He continued to detail a series of charges against the Queen, until the hoer of adjournment, . when A Noble Lord said, that it was understood , the House - would not sit after four o'clock. There wet: general cries of Go on Mr. Attorney General. The ATTORNEY GENERAL wad- again proceeding when 63 The EARL of LIVERPOOL said that if the Attoraoy- General was near concluding, it would hems-well to go oa. but if he would be much longer, it would be better to adjours till Monday. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said," My Lords, I have not gone through huff the disgusting narrative. After some desultory conversation the House adjourned till Nonday. It is very remarkable, that at the moment the Moe@ Attorney-General ascended the Bar, to detail the charge* • against the Queen, as tie was even uttering the first sentence. a strong Sash of lightning went through the House, followed by u tremendous clap of thunder. This circumstruice excited a most extraordinary sensation in the House. The Queen did not leave Hammersmith this day. • KING GEORGE well known that George the Second was chosen church warden of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, and that having served the office by deputy, he was graciously pleased to make the parish a present of an organ, which was put up in the church with an appropriate inscription. The organ which now purports to be the gift of George the Second, If not the identical organ given by that Monarch. A new set of parish-officcrs having formed an opinion that it was not so good as it ought to he, sold it for 2001. and erected that which is now in the church. The Royal organ, as we may call it, was sentslown to Frome, in Sontersetshire, where it remains to this day. The church being found too low to admit it in the gallery, the good folksof Frome debated the question, whether they shard reduce the altitude of the organ, or raise the roof of the church to admit it. After some discussion they all de clared that it was the greatest honour to have in their parish church au organ which had been the gift of George the Second, and they unanimously resolved to raise the roof of the church rather than mutilate in the slightest manlier lite precious article which had become their property. Tile roof was accordingly altered, owl the organ pot op in the original stale. The inhabitants point it out with pleasure to strangers, and consider it a proud memorial of the domestic virtues of a good Monarch. _ _ Several of the Fair Sex applied at the Town-hall, Sheffield, since Wednesday last, for the purpose of signing the address to the Queen, but were intinmed by the persons in attendance, that it would be both irregular, inconsistent, and indecorous to comply with their request. THE QUEEN.—This Illustr Lady has ever been distitinguished for her Patronage of the Arts and Discoveries of the Science.—Always anxious to honour by her sanction whatever was calculated to benefit soci:ty.
