Mr. Sheriff Williams said her IljjeSty was only about to do what other Queens hail done, and what •ven private individ u al s h a d a right to do; besides, what would be said if her Majesty did not openly profess the established religion of the country. (Cheers). He thought it was a very proper step, and that they were bound to attend her Majesty with all becoming dignjty. Mr. Jupp spoke in praise of the dap having been altered from Sunday to Wednesday Her Majesty de served thanks for such change. Mr Dixon was as glad as any one that this business had terminated. Ile had doubts when the evidence for the crown was adduced; but he had none after the Queen's witnesses hail been examined. As to the Queen's conduct now, he thought her Majesty was in the hands of bad advisers. He thought the question could not be kept alive much lenger, and the sooner the present heats were allayed, the better would it be for her M ijesty. She would then have the respect and support to tlurse in vvhose estimation it would be worm while to stand well. If the procession took place, he hoped the Magistrates would do their duty. Mr. Alderman Birch could not countenance any such proceeding as the one that was now proposed.

" CAROLINE R.—The Queen thinks it proper to inform the House of Commons that she • has received a communication from the King's Ministers, plaiuly Miaowing an inteetteuto prorogue the Parliament immediately, and 1 accompanied by an offer of tumefy for her support, rad for providing het with a residence until a spew session may be holden. " This offer the Queen has had no hesitation in refusing,— While the late extrsordinary proceediugs were pending, it might be fit for her to accept the advances for her tempo rary accommodation ; but she naturally expected that the failure of that unparalleled attempt to degrade the Royal Family would he immediately followed by submitting soma permanent measure to the wisdom of Parliatneut —and she has felt that she could no longer, with propriety, receive from the Ministers what she is well assured the liberality of the House of Commons would have granted, n 5 alike essential to 1 the dignity of the Throne, and demanded by the plainest principles o f just i c e. r " if she fiuren is to understand that new proceedings are meditated against ber, •hc throw„ herself with unabated confidence un the representatives of the people, fully relying on their justice and whirl° .1 to take effectual steps to protect her from the further vexation of unnecessary delay, and to provide that these unexampled persecutions may at length be brought to a close."

VS. to coresequesee of the Order fur u call of the House this day, sad of the interest excited by the expressed communication from ber Majesty, the Members began, at an early hour to aseemble in considerable numbers. Mr. Hiibliimse, and some other Members, were down as early as ten o'clock, which, we believe, was the hour of the day to which, iu strictness, the House stood adjourned. Mr. Brougham, when he communicated to the Speaker that a message would be seat down from the Queen, hinted at the mole time the expediency of his taking the chair at one o'clock, if there was a sufficient number of Members present in order that there might be sufficient time to receive the message before the meeting of the Lords. At one o'clock accordingly, the whole of her hllijesty's Counsel, who are Members, except Mr. BrouAluen, who was detained professionally in the Court of King's Beech, were in their places, besides nearly one hundred other Members, chiefly of (be opposition party. The Speaker was, however, looked for in vain.—lt was vadentood that Lord Castlereagh had been clowned with him for a coasiderable pert of the forenoon. The Speaker did not enter the House until within eight minutes of two o'clock. The readineof the prayers occupied the House until ex. wiry two o'clock. Mr. DENMAN rose at two o'clock, and suid.--" Mr. Speaker, 1 bold in my hand ■ message, which I am cum. mended by her Majesty the Queen to present to this House. —(Loud cries of hear I hear !) M this sasseolet(a mimeo past two o'clock). Mr. Overuse, she 4), puty Usher of the Bieck Rod, tapped at the dour , and immediately entered. This interruption accasioued great uproar. Aboutafty Members rose in their seats, and the geaerul cry was, " Mr. Heitman, Mr. Denmant"... Withdraw, withdraw !" but the noise was so great, that that gentleman iu vain attempted to be beard l and in tee 'lndic of the tumult, Mr. Qtrisaise proceeded thus, althoegh it was impossible for him► to be heard from the Chair—" Mr. Speaker, the Lords Commissioners, appointed by virtue of his Majesty's - Commission, commuted the immediate attendance of his Honourable House in the House of Peers." Cries of 64 Shame, shame!" were now reiterated on all sides, and the utmost indignation wee manifested by a Hum ber of Members who found bey Majesty's message thus treated. The Speaker instantly quitted the Chilli., followed by Lord Castlereagh and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to obey the summons of the Peers. The utmost confusion pre smiled at this niumeut t and it would lie iu vain to describe the tumult which took place in the body of the House. The loudest and must indignant cries of" Shame I" were reiterated throuehoitt the House; and the Speaker, f o llowed by his Majesty's Ministers uud several other .Members, advanced towards the door, un his say to the Lords, iu the midst of of the must disconcerting uproar. Mr. Deumaii, during this remained on bin legs holding in his baud her hiiiiesty's Ali:nage. He was sur rounded by the most distinguished Member. oh' the opposinun, ho, a s well us many independent Mcml►crs who generally vine on the other side, seemed utterly astouished ut what had occurrid. Mr. TIERNEY rose amidst loud cheers, and appealed to the Speaker v hether one nerd that bad (allege from the Lurd s Messenger had been heard c and how thee did the bleaker know that he was sainted in the other House at all! The Speaker proceeded to Ilse other (louse, attended bv very few It!embers, except those (non the Jtstsisterihl Benches.

PAUL'S. The Lord Mayor stated, that he had a communication to make to the Court—her Majesty's intimation of her intended visit t o S t . Paul's Cathedral, —(Cheers.)— Three letters from the Hots. K. Craven to the Lord Mayor were then read. The first, dated Nov. 17, an nounced her Majesty's intention of going to St. Paul's on Sunday week. The second dated Nov. ifs, acknow ledged the receipt of a letter from the Lord Mayor. And the third, dated Nov. 19, stated, that her Majesty having learned—a fact of which she was not previously aware—that divine service was performed in St. Paul s Cathedral three times a week, her Majesty had resolved to proceed thither ots Wednesday, the 29th, instead of Sunday. Her Majesty preferred a week day, as the assemblage of persons, who might collect on the occa sion, might not be deemed consistent with the decorum and tranquillity of the Sabbath-day.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Ewell moved, that the letters be entered on the minutes of the court.—(Hear, hear!) Mr. T. N. NVilliams conjured the Court to beware how they acted. They ought to be cautions in the race of teal ; it might occasion confusion, and bring about some thing (a laugh) which all might lament. It might bring about anarchy and confusion.—(Laughter.) Several rose to order, observing that there was no mo tion before the court connected with any proceeding to St. l'aul'it.—Motion carried. Mr. gavel censured the language which had just beets used. More was meant than met the ear, the language, he feared, was calculated to produce what Was depre cated. If order could not he preserved when the Queen. in imitation of her Royal father was proceeding to St. Paul's, then indeed would the country be reduced ttr a lamentable condition- He concluded by moving that the Lord Mayor be instructed so attend her Majesty in a suitable an i n ter. Mr T. N. Williams again declared that the proceed ing was pregnant with mischief.—(Loud tau„ ter.) — The mere curiosity to see her Majesty would create Con fusion. But what was the object of her Majesty in going to St. Paul's? (Order, order !) lie did not wish to attribute improper motives; but many Ines nitgla be lost in cooserptoice of the curiosity that would be t cited. (Laughter.) And the corps/111.'011 attending in SOW would promote confusion; perltrps many lines might be lost. Was that nothing? It would also Pula stagnation to trade ; and what was to become of the commercial bills? flow could the batik ers' clerks go about 1 This was important, for they got their living by trade I—(Question, questiou.) r.

PRINCESS CHARLOTTE'S PORTRAIT. The Lord Mayor communicated a letter which he had received from Alderman Wood, announcing that it was her Majesty's wish to present to the city of Loolon, a likeness of her late amiable daughter, the Princess Char lotte.—(Cheers.) Mr. Sheriff Williams observed, that they had daily more reason to deplore the loss of that excellent l'ri item. (Hear.) He moved that the Lord Nlayor be directed to answer the gracious cot ttttt uoication of tier NI ajesty, ex pressing the readinces of the Court to receive such Paiut ing.—.Motion ca►ried. ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN. The Lord Mayor thou directed the reciu6ition to be read. Mr. T. N. Williams pin it h► the Court, whether at sol ale an hour in the day, Ili. to could be any hope of doing justice in the important Nlibieri w hich win; awn , proposed to Le broupt forward.—(Yes, yes, pro evil, proceed.) The Lord Nlayor said, he was ready to obey the wishes of the Court.—(t *fleets.) If tile could not be fully discussed to-day, it might then be adjourned. (Hear, hear.) The requisition having been read, Mr. Fayell rose. Ile said, he had again to bring for ward that subject which had formerly been moved under very different circtinistaitees. Then there ..Yere frowns, and doubts, even from tije chair itself; but now the bill bad b een defeated, and the unarms was to be made under the happiest auspice.. 'Furey wore mil to celebrate the triumph of Justice; if the bill had suc ceeded they would have sort ived the law itself. It had been defeated, and by that defeat it had been mantlested the triumph of Justice, of the Liberty of the Press, and o f Public optllloll. Ile contended that the tendency 1,1 the Nltnisters' conduct was to bring Kings and Qncew theniselVC3 into disrepute; and that Hills of Pains :11111 Penalties were calculated to undermine the Coin:motion. Ile concluded with moving that an adcres: he iite,eitti to her Majesty, congratulating her on the delta! of the bill, and on ifte second refutation that had been given to the charge preferred agaiiibt her.
