Vre PREPARATIONS FOR THE RECEPTION OP THE QUEEN AT ST H'AUL'S. '"4, • meeting of the committee appointed to super intend the arrangements for the reception of the Queen at St. Paul's Cathedral tonic place on Thurs. aav, anti after some conversation it was agreed; That as the best means of providing for the secu rity of the church and its members, against the danger apprehended by the Dean and Chapter, the \Thole of the Church and Choir should, on Wednes day next, be given up to the Lord Mayor and Cor poration, with the exception of a portion of room for such persons as the Dean and Chapter may chuse to introduce. That the Lord Mayor and Corporation should be allowed to lay down any benches or carpeting for the accommodation of the congregation, and, That Doctor Hughes be empowered to communi cate the same to the Dean and Chapter. It is reported that Government has suggested the plan of giving up the Church to the Corporation, in order that they, possessing as they do, the means of preventing breaches of the peace and injury to the property of the Church, may exercise that power with the greater effect, the responsibility wholly resting upon themselves. Eighty of the Corporation are to receive her Ma jesty at t he outer gate. Tickets are to be issued, it is probable, and cure is to be taken thi,t the Church shall not be crowded to inconvenience. It is generally believed that a paper containing matter of thanksgiving will be handed to the Cler gyman who is to officiate, but who will exercise his discretion upon the subject of adding it to the ge neral service. No change is expected to be made in the present state of the Liturgy; but it is to be remembered that the Queen has given notice that she will visit St. Paul's merely as a private individual. PRESENTATION OF ADDRESS'ES TO THE QUEEN. Addresses of congratulation, equal in number, and in the respectability of the deputations, to any of those which we have on late occasions so fre quently witnessed, were on Friday presented to her Majesty. At eleven o'clock the deputation from Dover pas sed through Pall Mull, and made a most respectable appearance. It was particularly interesting, as ma nifesting the zeal and independence of so many worthy individuals coming from a town supposed to be ministerial almost without exception. Shortly after the Lor3 Mayor, in his state car riage, accompanied by the Sheriffs and the Corpora tion in 24 coaches and pairs, followed with the Ad dress of the Common Council of the City of London. From the nnfavourable state of the weather, his Lordship's servants did not proceed on foot beyond Temple-bar, where they got into a coach. The bells of St. Brides rung a joyful peal on the occasion. Next came the Deputation with the Address from the Ward of Cripplegate Without, preceded by three trumpeters on grey horses ; after whom followed a caravan, thickly covered with boughs of laurel, conveying an excellent band of MUSIC. The Deputation from the Ward of Cripplegate Within, among whom were many elegant and beautiful females, suceeded in twenty-three cur riages and four, profusely decorated with white ribbanda. The Address from the Ward of Bishopsgate was the next that followed, in twelve dose carriages, drawn by four horses each, well tilled with gentle. men, and a fair proportion of elegant females. The procession of St. Giles and St. George pur sued a different route, and made a very handsome appearance, as did the deputation frotu St. Mary, Lambeth ; the arrangements of both were neat and elegant, and attracted much notice. Other Addres ses were presented from Great Yarmouth, Hudders field, Chorley, Boston, Worcester (Feinales),Laxley, Edmonton, Ncw Moulton, Kinghorn, Harwich, Dimmable, Benefit Societies, Berks, Carlow, (Ireland.) Her Majesty was it, excellent health and spirits, and was in readiness to receive the numerous Ad dreeses by twelve o'clock. Sits was attended by several foreigners of distinction ofboth sexes, and by Mr. Alderman Weed, Sir Gerard Noel, Mr. Herne, the Hon K. Craven, Lady Hamilton, Mr. and the Misses Wood, &c. The Wyvill and Chaloner, &qrs. M P. for York, in court-dresses, presented an Address to her Majesty frotn the inhabitants of that City. These two Addresses were, received by the Queen in her drawind•rootn; after which her Majesty entered the Great Saloon to receive the remainder. Several other Addre.:ses were prc.kutca, and the ceremonies of the day concluded. The dress of her Alvjesty was very superb. It L c,nhisted of a robe of ulver Luna, itthly trimmed THE NATIONAL REGISTER with embroidered flowers, and on her herd a bril. Not bandeau ordiamonct (a So-diadem) sur mounted. by a splchdid 'plume of whit*, ostrich feathers. LETTER TO TIIE WOBIT.ITY. OENTIIT, CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS), AND INHABITANTS OF THE COUNTT OF stage. Ol..Nll.EMEN.—Tholigls I have nut the tumour of any political connection with you, and though I am known to you only as a resident and acting Magistrate of the comity of Berks ; yet, having occasionally met many of you at County Meetings, and having al aays on those occasions found a great concurrence of opinion amongst the ma jority of you on political subjects, I take the liberty of now addressing you. It is not many days since I took upon myself to send to several Gentlemen resident in differeut parts of the county copies of a proposed Requisition to the Sheriff, to call a County Meeting, for the purpose of addressing the King on thetreatment which the Queen was expel itileint at the hands of his Ministers; and of passing such Resolutions as the state of the country plied seem to demand. But the es ent of this day, and the scene which I have just witnessed in Parliament, do, in my opinion, imperatively require that some further steps should inanieedately be taken, by all those who value the stability of the Throne sail the tranquillity of the country. It having been stated by the Ministers in the early part of the proceedings against the Queen, that no provision could be made fur her Majesty w hole thore proceedings acre pending; and it having been lately signified to her on the s:tme authority, that neither could provision be made fur her, nor a residence supplied, till Pet !lament met fur the dis patch or business ; it dues seem u hide extraordinary—that Parliament being at that time actually sitting, aud the two Hems.. being to meet, and a call of the House of Commons having been shirred for to-day—that, wicko such circus,- -lances, a prorogation sl.uuld lake place. But the case is infinitely aggravated by Ibis fact, that the Quern had pre- pared a cominunicat ))))) and haddirected her Law °dicers to present it to the House ofConinions ; that Lord Castlereagh was apprised of their intention to du so; and that the sitting of the commission to prorogue the Parliament was so timed, that Mr. Denman was prevented front delivering it, though he took the very first opportunity to rise for that purpose, '1 trim, however, is not all. The prorogation took place, but quite contrary to the usual-1 believe the invariable+ practice, no communication of any sort was made to the Homes on the state of affairs and the political relations of the country, internal or external; though most assuredly the events which have occurred, both at home and abroad, since the coomirencemesit of the Session, have been of sufficient importance to require that the King's Ministers should have advised his MsOesty to state lo his Parliament his opimuu thereon. Under these circumstances, and considering the present agitated state of the public mind, 1 cahoot hut t outemplate the prorogation of the Parliament till the93.l of hinuary, as a measure pregnant with the greatest danger to the State— to the tranquillity, and tbeoce to the liberties of the people, sod to the pensauency of the civil and religious e►tablish tneots of the fessuistry. 1 am, therefore. disposed to recom mend that a requisition *humid be presented to the High Sherd; to call a public ineetiug of ihn County as soon as possible, for the purpose of piayin4 the kiag to reossesuble the Parliament without loss of time; and 1 think this the most expeditious mode of makiug known my opinion, that iu case guy of you should Liver with me, Revolutions muy be immediately prepared, and siAnatures procured to them; which Itequisitionstither may be forwarded to the Sheriff direct, or, Irwin to me, atoll, when collected, be buns mined without delay. 1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful bumble seafront FOLKISTONT.

AL The Judges this day proceeded with argument• upon causes standing on the Special Poix•r. THE KING V. CARTWRIGHT, WOOLER. SC RDRCONDS. The defendants appeared in Court this morning with their Solicitor, in expectation of their CRUSE being ar gued, but it appeared the Learned Judge (Best) was not furnished with the report of the trial. Some conference then ensued between the defendants, Mr. Scrj. Vaughan and the Judges, and the hearing of the cause was post poned till to•nmrrow. THE KING V. JANE CAALILE. The defendant appeared in Court aiiipleaded not guilty to a criminal information filed against her fur publishing a seditious and blasphemous libel. NAVAL STOKES. Mr. Gaseke prayed the judg cent of the Court vs J. Paul, who had been convicted at the Chester Assize, of haring wine naval stores in his possession, with the itina's mark unlawfully. Mr. Williams appeared for the defendant. The pu. nishinent, according to the statute in this case is 2001, fine, and whatever corporal punishment the Court thought lit. However the Court was pleased to dispense with inflicting corporal punishment, and fined him 2001. and V5l. costs. THE XING E. !WHEW. Mr. Prineep obtained a writ of Habeas Corpus to bring up the defendant from Lancaster gaol. The de fendant was charged with a rape ou his servant, and committed on that charge. The affidavit in support of the application set forth. that although the prosecutor( stated the crime to be committed on a Saturday, sae made no complaint until two or three days after. Odii.r circumstances were stated which induced the Court ,o grant the writ. THE KING V. HYMN BARNET. Mr. Barnet moved for a rule to shew cause why Mr. Elias Isaacs. an attorney of the court, should not pay back a certain sum of 2001., and answer the matters contained in the following affidavit. The affidavit, which Mr. Andrews then read, stated these facts :—Mr. J. Ca pua, au orange merchant iu Houndsditch, on the Ist cf July last, possessed a certain bank note, value 3001. and upon the 4th July, either by accident or rubbery, lost the same. Knowing the number of his note, the loser forthwith stopped it at the Bank, and advertised, in I Mims newspaper, a reward of 1001. to whoever should restore it. Alter some days' anxiety, Mr. Capua received intimation that Mt. Elias Isaacs had something to com municate. and waited upon that gentleman at his house. Mr. Isaacs received his visitor with much formality; Miss Isaacs was desired to quit the chamber of confe rence; and Mr. Isaacs then said, " I have heard of your note: within these few days it would have been at Leg horn; but if you will give 2001. instead of the 1001. you have offered, you shall have it, and that will be a saving of tool. to you." Possessed with the merits of this ingenious calculation, Mr. Capua left the house of Mr. Isaacs, and took advice upon the course which he should pursue; he returned, and consented to give the suns demanded. Mr. Isaacs then said, "Give me 20 im pound notes, and you shall have your bill." air. Capua observed, "As I have stopped the note, it is hard I should pay so much ;" but his interlocutor remarked, that " against a bona fide holder the Bank could not stop payment." The 2001. were then paid; Mr.Capua was desired to go hoine,and to call again in a short time for his note ; but he had scarcely reached his own house when the note, wrapped iii a piece of paper,was brought by a man of the name of Yates, a clerk of Mr. Isaacs. With the result of this transaction, Mr. Andrews conti nued, Mr. Captia, as the Court would suppose, could nut be satisfied. He applied to the Lord Mayor; Mr. Isaacs Was summoned, and called upon to account for having the note in his possession, and to give tip the name of the party on whose behalf he had been actinic. He refused to do so, and it was not until he was threatened with committal, and informed that, under the Act ulth Geo. 111. commonly called Jonathaii Wild's Act, he would probably be liable to prosecution for felony, that he said lie had received a note from a man of the name of Solomons. To Solomons Mr. Andrews proceeded; no application had been made either to confirm or to disprove the truth of the statement made by Mr. 15240; but there was one particular circumstatice about that gentleman's conduct especially desciving the attention of the Court. The 3001. tit was in his hands. How did he know that it lilongetl to Mr. Capital Not front the advertisement, for the advenisernent gave an A. B. address at the house of another person. How, he wished to know, and from what source, mild Mr. Isaacs get his information ? Mr. Justice Best thought that the rule hid better be drawn up with the alternative "or be struck oft the rolls." Mr. Justice Bayley agreed, as it was possible the Count might think that Mr. Isaacs had acted contrary to his duly as all attorney, by lending himself to SUCH a tra:3- action.—Rule granted wenaissuav, Nov, 21. ARGO/SENT SOIL • NSW TRIAL..-1111L SING S. SIS I. SO tDLTT. The continuation of the argument in this case in sop port old new trial,canie on according to special appoint ment. Mr. Blackburn, who was i.artly heard on Thu rsda y last, again addressed the coon, and resumed his former line of argument. The Learned Gentlemen on the other side had contended, that writing 2 libel without publication was a crime. They haul contended also, a libel might be written in utie county and published in another, and that the parties were liable to be tried in either county. 'fo this proposition of law Mr. Michbarti could not accede. The authorities decide the contrary. The crime was not complete without iwo acts, namely, the writing and publishing. Writing without iiiiblication was no crime. The proposition
