SS (Imperial Parliament continued frogs page 35.) he had been present during the whole of the proceedings. —Now he (Mr. S.) contended, that any person who had been present during Lieut. Hownam's examination, and coupled the evidence of that witness with what lie had heard and read of the other parts of the trial, as as as COM ',elect to form a judgment as if he hail been present during the whole trial. He concluded by moving, that the sum of 30,0 el. be stiltstitnted for 501001. Mr.BROUG HA SI sairl,he most appeal to the lion. mem ber whether it was manly, or decent, or consistent with the forms of the house, that he. and oilier hon. members, should go on, night after eight, canvassing detached por tions of the evidence in the Queen's cue, all which evi denre had been produced before the other house of parliament ? Either the Queen was guilty, or she was not guilty ; either she was acquitted, or she was not acquitted. If she was acquitted, members of that house had tin tight to cast imputations upon her; if she was not acquitted, in God's name let gentlemen come forward, let them boldly, nraufnlly, fairly come lot ward and accuse her. (Hear, hear, hear.) Her Majesty asked fur justice, and for no more than justice ; and if gentlemen thought she had not bean sufficiently tried, and that the country bad not had enough of prosecution, let them come boldly forward, and prosecute her again. (Hear.) Sir T. LETHBRIDGE said, he could pat his band on his heart, and declare, as a representative of the British people, that from the evidence which had been adduced an another place, he believed her Majesty to be piny of the charges which had been [nought against her. Ile hail been told that a well-known person, the courier Bergand, had been living in the metropolis of France, in a style of magnificence ' which was much Letter suited to the dignity of one of our British noblemen, than to a person of that ignoble description. He wished to know whence the mo. slay came to support this magnificence/ Did it come from the parliament of Great Britain? Were they to sit there, and vote away the money of the people for such purposes as these?—(Cheers from behind the ministerial benches.) A long debate took place on the subject, after which, the question being called for, time gallery was cleared for a division, and therefore strangers were excluded, but no division took place,and the resolution for granting 50,0001. a year to the Queen was carried —Adjourned.

Sir R. HERON afterwards withdrew his utitice, giving Nov to . . . Mr. JOHN SMITH, oho acknowledged his courtesy, and immediately gave notice, that on Tuesday the 13th duel., he should submit a motion for the re►torution of the Queen's name to the Liturgy.— [Hear, hear.) Mr. F. ROBINSON (in anssser it/ enquiries from M. Curies) sivied that American flour had been used in the West India Islands by our troops, because British dour had not been found to sunset.* ; but as ratigeusants had been inade &gaits to give English dour a fair trial.

The ministers had never hoped pa have suc eeederl in the House of Cornmous—their friends avow ed as much—theto be was compelled to think ti n t the only object of the proceeding was to cast another stigma Ork the unfor luaate but illustrious Queen. He had braid of a pote-1 against the pctitum—but it had no weight ; the petition had been fairly put—even the bun. Burt. (Sir W.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER was the disorder that many bale young men declared that they would never attend a public meeting again. To the petition being brought up he bad no objection—but it was carried in rather an odd way. Mr. ASTELL justified the support which he had given to the petition. No interruption would have taken place had not the hon. Baronet and his friends attended; nod yet they, of all persons, set themselves up as the moderate sail quiet people. (Cheers.] Lord MI urom was glad be had heard the hon. Baronet's opinion of public meetings, as well as of the lo) al declarit tmo. It was thought his Majesty ought to be " cheered up," and the tins, of " cheerin up" his Majesty was to support Mioisters.—`Hear, hear.]—That was no advantage to the King—for he thought it might be demonstrably shown that the minister's measures were every 'king but beneficial to the Monarcb.—E Dear, hear.) Mr. Alderman WOOD &elated, that the hon. Baronet was the cause of the noise. As to the petition, the hon. Baronet admitted that it had been fairly carried, and yet he said that the majority of the people agreed with the ma jority of that House. How were such contradictions to be reconciled? The hon. gent. who just spoke, said be could not get on 11w hustings: was he one of the 300 who endea voured to force the doors and gain possession of the ball? In fact the mine was produced Is) the hon. Baronet's appear. ance, fur it was well known a believer he made his appear. once at public meetings there was always considerable noise created by the mixed clamour of his opponeut's and friends. After some further remarks from Mr. Baring, Mr. T. Wil son. &e. the petition was brought up, read, and ordered Ito be printed. Mr. W. SMITH afterwards moved for sundry papers illustrative of the mode in which certain foreign powers carry on the blase trade; Lord J. Russell presented a petition complaining of the proceedings at the Kilmaiuhain meeting (Dublin); and the remaining business having been disposed of, the House went into a committee of supply to consider of the navy estimates, but were counted out by Mr. Bennett, there being only 25 members present.

All the excluded evidence in the case of the Queen, with the testimony of those witnesses who arrived too late to be examined in her Majesty's defence, will speedily be laid kifore the public.— Additional proofs of her Itlajesty's innocence, and of the infamous nature of the proceedings against her, will thus be furnished. A highly intelligent person who has seen the documents states that such a mass of proof in favour of an accused person was never before exhibited. _ _ r. Mash, one of his Majesty's Gentlemen Ushers, was in attendaum in the House of Commons during the whole of the debate on Lord A. Hamilton's motion on Friday evening. After the division, Lord Castlereagh sent a note by him to the King, communicating the result. A singular circumstance occurred at the hue levee. A gentleman of respectable appearance being pre sented to the King, knelt down and commenced a speech to his Majesty, complaining of the manner in which some petition he had presented had been received. His Majesty waved his hand fin. the gen tleman to pass on, but he contincd kneeling and speaking. On this Lord Lake, assisted by others, seized the gentleman by the shoulders, and removed him from the royal presence by force. """:. • 'rev COMMON HALL. On Monday a Common Hall was held pursuant to a requisition, for the purpose of considering of the pro priety of petitioning both Houses of Parliament to place the Queen's name in the Liturgy, and restore her to her full rights and privileges. About one o'clock the Lord Mayor took the chair. His Lordship stated, that her Majesty had been waited on last Monday with the address, voted at the last Common Hall, to which she had been pleased to return a most gracious answer, which should be read.—(Her Majesty's answer was then read.]—The Lord Mayor again addressed the meeting, to stale that he had received a letter from Lord Holland, and another from Lord Erskine, returning thanks for the votes of approbation of their conduct, which had been passed at the last Common Hall. His Lordship said, lie had unfortunately left the letters behind him; but they should be read before the meeting broke up. Mr. RYLAND then presented himself to the meeting; he said, he addressed his fellow-citizens for the first time, but he appeared before them without dismay, con fident of the goodness of his cause, and conscious of the purity of his actions: he was born among his fellow. citizens; he was united with them by every tie of interest and of affection, and he trusted he should die as he had lived—the firm friend of Parliamentary Reform, of the Constitution, and of Justice, and by consequence of the Queen. It was, he said, become the custom with her Majesty's enemies to call by the name of Farces the meetings that had taken place all over the country to give expression to the public sentiment on the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers—on the unconstitutional and illegal treatment of the Queen—on the distress and oppression of the people. He was aware the present meeting would be called disloyal by those who met in holes and corners, and, with closed doors, manufactured what they called Loyal Addresses. But if loyalty means to love our King, and warn him of his danger front evil counsellors, it loyalty means to reverence and obey the laws, then are we loyal subjects. (Hear, hear.) The learned gentleman then read a series of resolutions, de claratory of the sense entertained by the meeting of the conduct pursued by Ministers towards her Maesty, and of the propriety of petitioning both Houses of Parliament to procure the insertion of her Majesty's name in the Liturgy, anti her restoration to all her rights and digni. ties, and to take such steps as may be necessary for bringing her persecutors to condign punishment. All the resolutions were received with the greatest applause. Mr. HALL came forward to second the resolutions. He claimed indulgence on the same account as the mover, it being Isis first time to address his fellow. citizens. lie said, the subject on which they were met had been already so fully and ably discussed at public meetings, and particularly by the free and independent public Press, that he felt it unnecessary to detain the meeting for any length of time. Nothing, he was cer tain, but the fears of l‘littisters prevented their attempt ing to shackle the free Press; but they were aware that when the British Lion was once roused, they dare not olkr him such an insult ; and the future historian wouid delight to record the conduct of the virtuous people of this country, when their Queen was basely accused and oppressed.—He concluded by seconding the resolutions lint had been read . . Aidernialt WAITHMAN said, he wished to congratu late the Coutatou Hall olio's the decisions that they were a deliberative body, who might meet to discuss questions of a political nature, notwithstanding all that had been said of their proceedings as being woodworm and disorderly; the Merchants and Bankers of the city were at least not qualified to set them an example in that respect. Was it to be expected of the 'foie and Comer Men, who had hitherto alleged the clamour with which they were received as an excuse for not showing, themselves, that they should endeavour to carry every thing by clamour, instead of fairly meeting, their anta gonists to the fields of ar,_nnent, when they had an op portunity of doing so 2—He concluded by expressing a hope that the exposition which he said he had made would be useful in skewing, that the charges of their adversaries were unfounded, in throwing them back up .n themselves. The several resolutions, with the address funneled upon them, were then put and carried. It was moved that the Petition to the noose of Ildmls should be pre sented by the Duke of Bedford, and that to the House of C by the City Members. Thanks were voted to Mr. Ryland and Mr. Hall, for the able manner in winch they had brought the business of the day turward. Thanks were also voted to the Lord Mayor, when, after some further observations from Alderman Wood, Mr. Favell, and Mr. Crook, the meeting separated. LONDON FiLYHJOIV.S .
