The Home wet aware that, under the present regulations, the assizes fur the city ot' Nor with wer e only held ouce a year, and that the spring assizes for the county did net extend to the city.— The city of Narwich had, therefore, the same grievance to complain of is the four northers) comities, which had ane,ely been under the consideration of that Jiiii.se.

He concluded with moving an Address to the King, praying his Majesty to lie pleased to lay before toe mouse Copy or Copies of any Coil ttttt ssion or Commissions to institute inquiries respecting the cwt. , diel of her Majesty since her departure from this Country in I together with accounts of any SUMS expended on act:mint of such Commission, and by whom they were is- Nu Lord NUGENT seconded the motion. Lord CkaTLEREAGH said, that as the time for inves tigation had no' yet as iived, lie should meet thiimotion, not with a negative, but with proposing that they pass to the previous question. flue mode of conducting the en quiry would bear examination from fast to last ; but the proper time had nut yet come. The Vice Chancellor had been consulted, aatl he hail proposed Mr. Cooke. a gentleman of the greatest purity of eh:erecter, and Mr. Cooke was accompanied by an eminent Solicitor. The Commission (ids Lor d shipl said) was of • dams-ntSciai character, end it ri.sielteil from report., coming iii from all quarters, respecting die Queen's conduct. He must, however, lowest again.t steels little motions as this, fur it ti-sitmeel the chapatis'' . of it pal iy question. Mr. CREEVEY said, that notwithstanding the warning, he looked upon tile motion of his gallant friend as highly proper at this time. He (Sir It. Ferguson) said—lt you chaig.; the Qu'ten, let me set your internal commission. It was perfectly new in the Constitutional this cuun ry to organist' such a system of apionage, or to se flame the wad of the Soct•reign.

When the Bill came before the House it would Le a question whether his Majesty was not, when the Princess of Brunswick came over, living in adultery.

Every one who has information to impart, or knowledge to gain, ap pears on this occasion.to he a welcome visitant at Holk ham. It is not at all the language of exaggeration to say, that the world does not present a spectacle equally gratifying.
