THE STATESMAN. Tut.: QUEEN. 110CSE OF LORDS.—Tyta Mownso. lowdiately after Prayers, a conversation took plaee wren their Lor.lships as to the rptestion which was 0 , 0 ,4 by scone Noble Loral whether the windows ; 1;1 b e o pened nr not. This conversation gave rise kw salirenin' 'Julies; particularly one from the of d (lamella. who, observing that the House were in -0;„,1 to have the windows opened, said, he wished some 44 1, Lord wou! , l come and Pit On the Woolsack, and he trott:.l like the current of air which came tr , I t. This canoed a 'sorb. There was, however, a t oil cry of "Open the windows," bat a Royal Isle said from the gallery " Two I bdiere is "0. - and areordingly two ouly were opened. * p e as were thee called over by the Clerk of Ag g i ve. The defaulters were Lords Ross, Alvan tareiegten, Caltltorpe, Aslilittron, Grey, and Nem Viscount Anson, the Earls of Illessington. i , ;e ower, Portsmouth, Rockford, and Thatict, the )1 . 114 ,6d Deter, and the Dukes of Argyle, New astle.semi St. Albans. This is thP greatest number f Ibatstees liner the commencement of the proceed. istt Lod HOLLAND rose and said, that he truste4l the Imo weal! not separate this day without coming to a ,e v i s loo--(liear, bear. hear). He therefore would , Lef t eat the order for adjournment at four o'clock lesleareeel. 111! Esti of Li I :DERDALE said it would be more proper to restitete the present practice.—(Hear, hear, yea.)—la such a proceeding i.s the present, it would s taaspiaioa, be disgraceful for the House to come to f ewlet;on which might have the effect of prevent ulna giving the relation for his vote. It would he it Inflict to pet an end to the iliseuselon by fatiguing :ben through the means of a lengthened debate, and emslil give ample reasons for persons, out of doors, to refect upon their proceeding.. Lord HOLLAND explaine.l.—lt was not his desire that their Lordships should be fatigued into a division. Ile nerdy 'print that noir?, the debate should appear likely en be very considerably protracted, it would be proper to come to a cute this day. here the c.inveraatin dr..ppeil; and we dill not col leetthe undersea:Ain; which was entered into by their hor!ships, hat we ce . :clnie, that the established tale of adjournment should not be disturbed. The Earl of LIVERPOOL now rose and said, that he draw their Lordships attention to the state 4 deem, as hr left it, when he bad the honour of longing their Lordship yesterday. From the view be id taken of the whole case, be conceived two prreitiors were clearly established. The first was that, if el; •umstances are in any case to lead (*a CO": ' • it'lts then, beyond all doubt, a criminal istesioe between the parties, had been manifested, dcriag the time that Bergami was a courier.-- Whether t:.at intention was tarried Into effect, while /refilled that station, he (Lord L) would not say, be tame, as the evidence on that subject was merely that of Majoechi and Demons, he did not much rely upon it. fhb Sktitltiolairlitefilion, be , einsitlered, as having Inn clearly established. The second proposition, which be coaceiv; d to he proved was, that upon the whole of t ie esiilence to her Royal Highness's arrival at Augusta, in I'IG, there was such a mass of evidence net only net entirely contradicted, but partially aihnitt el, that a moral conviction mat be brought to the mit.,l of every unprejudiced man, of the existence of an adulterous intercourse. Ecclesiastical cones hail, in racy cases prononsicell sentence of divorce, upon dr rumstantes far less strong than :Lose in the present ere. : , :re noticing the circumstance at Catania, he would return to the conduct of her Royal Highness .r, Want the Clorinde, which conduct was deserving tot seas atter . .ote, though it was net very material in itself. He alluded to taptain Pechell's refusal to it at table with Beeped. If her Royal Highness had not an 1171. proper motise in ilvdring admission to the table, she upon that refusal, have made a com plaint to the envermuentof the conduct of Capt. Pechell. She did no. t:rike a remonstrance to the government at Lame as she ...telly, and he therefore thought the condor.: of the Priti:-.4 on that occasion as a matter of great im portance. Rut it was still more important in another point of view, namely, the hint that it conveyed to the Princess of tier conduct being obeerveil, and this remark rat:ell on her, by every principle of decercy, eeli , aey, and propriety, to conduct herself towards Cmanii with the greatest circumepection. Ile wish ed to draw th , ir Lordships attention to a part of the evidence of Demout. The Noble Lord then read some peasagee where Demont stated she saw the Princess on a certain night with pillows under her arm. She alto mentioned that she saw Marietta Brim, and the Countess Oldi. Now 3lariette Brun might be The Countess Oldi might also he called to con tradict this statement, if false. Ile therefore thought that until the Colleen Oldi was called, and contradict- erl that story, no man could doubt that adultery had 'seen committed on that night. Ile next Came to I the story of the tent on board the polacre. It had been ilistiiittly proved that Bergami and the Princess slept under the teat the whole voyage. Now be would prove that that occurred without the slightest necessity. Ile was ready to make all due allowances for the locos veniences that are generally met with on hoard ship! Bent' , he would prove that they slept in that tent for 30 nights without the slightest necessity. If their Lordships would look to the conduct of the gentlemen at the Bar, they would find that there was great mystery about this transaction. The Learned fters•leman who oFeued the defence, never mentioned it in that able and comprehensive speech which he bad addressed - to their Lordships. He hoped he would be corrected if he mistook the fact, lie had no wish to do so. Mr. Williams bad followed him, and he only htlf ineartioi ed it. He made an argument on it. Mr. Denman, in his summing up speech, said something about it for the first time, but the whole tenor of Ids eloquent speech was pronouncing on the question. The only Gentleman who treated it fairly was Dr. Leshiegtim. New when there appearedthis mystery Swept the gentlemen at the Bar, it would 'be 'worth looking awhile at tie conduct of the witnesses. And first be would rain be Lieut. Flynn, who swore he did not know when Per. pall slept. Could any one believe that be did nos know where Itergami slept, he who stood La limb a station towards the Princess. He uext came to &ieat. Hew•naw, and he agreed with his Noble Friend that all allowances should be made for him from the situation in which he stood with the Princess. But their Lordships .could not forget the reluctance with which he let out that part of the case. This much he thought it necessary to say about the mystery. He next came to the question of necessity. And he would ask their Lordships, what woman, (be would nut say of virtue) but that wished to keep up an api:earanee of decency, would have slept under that tent ?—1 is the first instance, she had a desire, in consequence of the fineness of the season, to sleep on deck. And their Lordships should consider that this ship was not a passage ship, that was under the con trol of a Captain, but a ship engird for the Princess, and iu which As- could give what directions the wiabed. She bail women on board that she might have kept there. But if there was a necessity to keep some person on deck, that could be a service to her, she might Lave kept Lieutenant Flvan or same of the otlicws, souse scafaring person; but he believed that the statement of him Noble Friend on the Cross Bench, (we suppose Lord Lauderdale) pointed out the real nnessity, that as Bergami was the only lands man on boiril of a proper size to render her send: e, to at therefore he slept there.—(.t laugh.) Referring to Vassali's evidence, the Noble Earl contend ed that Isis want of memory respecting what happened at 31uniels, and his acute recollection of every thing which pa.sed at Carisrahe, the Coati of the Grand ihike of ll.tilen, was not likely to be mare remarkable than the Court of the King of Bavaria. il'ithout ascribing wilful or improper motives to this or any other witness, he contended that theie circumstances threw considerable doubt over the who:e of his testi mony. If the Princess had spent the day, or a great part of the day, as he had represented, at the Court of Baden, it was morally certain that she must have retired to her room at some period of the day, and then the evidence of Barbara Kress would remain entirely free and nnimpeacheil. It was his firm belief that any Judge charging a jary upon the evidence on this part of the ease 'don.. would direct a verdict ol' guilty. lie now came to the case at Charnitz. If that had turned lout as it bail been stated by the A itorner-Lieneral of the King, it would undoubtedly have gone far to support the Bill. And if it had turned out exactly as had been stated by the Attorney-General of the Queen, it would have been entirely contradicted. Ile had stated, that all the time they spent at lila:nits was occupied is packing up; and if that hail been proved, the whole story would have been contradicted. But it appeared that the carriages had never been un packed. In consequence of sonie informalities in the passports, they bad been left sostcide the barriers Dement had been sel-cted as the person to sleep in 1 the room, in Bergaini's ab,ence ; and that entirely overthrew the assertion, that the Princess required ! male attendance and assistance. On that night at ICharlotte she was dressed. and—lichiavaui, Hownaas, and Ilieroniassons were iu the house; yet Bemont was 1 chosen to attend her. The fact was, she required the assistance of no o'is w man than Bergami, and he was I 1 absent.—((fear, hear.) The assistance of a man was I not necessary I it was the assistance of Bergami only which was necessary.---(clear, bear, hear.) The testimony of a wisher of witnesses ' indecencies at the Itarona, at the ' other places.

Ile remembered when this was granted, hearing ! two sound lawyers protest against such a rostrseas being I calculated to defeat the ends of justice. That time had been properly employed in establishing active agents at ' Milan, iu the immediate neighbourhood of where the 1 witnesses lived, to make enquiries into their characters. By these means the characters of two witn had been I impeached. But seven remained untouched ; and would any man say where ample time hod been afforded to examine in!o their characters, and they still remained unimpeached, that their evidence should he left out of the case 2 The Noble laird then commentedo at some length upon the exclusion o f !Wilma'', wife from the service of the Princess, 1 and the admission of the rest of the family. Much Ihad been pressed 'by the opposers of this Bill, on the arginnent, that there had been no previous sentence in the Ecclesiastical Court. Those Noble Lords had forgotten, that in divorce bills, such a previous sentence, though usual, was by no means absolutely necessary. Bills of divorce had often been accounted for. It was ' here accounted for ; as there could he no suit in the Be. ' I clesiastical Court. It was a q uestion of State.—The 1 State was the prosecuting party, and the Queen herself ' a public character. She kne w, when she entered the 1 married state, that if she committed adultery, she fwould be liable to the punishm ent of Hi g h Treason, . unless technical difficulty stood in the way. The i present Bill was not more objectionable in prin. Iciple than many of the Bills which had been passed by their Lonlship against persons standing in a far less favourable situation than the Queen; against I persons who were not protected by either power on the one hand, or popular feeli n g on the other ; and liethere ' fore did not conceive that this proceeding was either um 1 . _hist, cruel , or unconstituti onal, for all these terms had, been repeatedly applied to it. He now came to due am violent of espedsency. Those who were of *sink • t h at t h e Q ue en was goiltlese,must of course vote agahlsi the Bill ; and the observations he was now shoot to make would be addressed only to those who their her , play, and yet hesitated to sappert the 'II at I the score of espediency.

Dr4Fistost, ose. 90, 1920., BRIGITON, NOT. 1.--SINGULAB APPLICATION.— AL pretty innocent looking young woman, very neatly dressed, and apparently about 1.4 years of age, with an infant at her breast, appeared before our 'tench on Tharsday, and informed the Magistrates, that the child she held in her arms was not her husband's, and that she wished to swear it to its proper father ! She had, she said, beep married but three months, the infant was a month old, and ber husband, she observed with the utmost simplicity, thought it hard that be should he obliged to keep it. Mr. Serj..ant g.tunniolgton severely admonished the fair deceiver, and directed her to go home and tell her longhand that the law could afford bin no redress, and that he must support the child. FATAIL AcctnENT.—At an early hour on Tuesday morning, as three fishermen, belonging to this town, were coming towards the shore in a small boat, the ►iolence of the breakers, as they approached the beach, was so great that the men were swept into the sea, though without the vessel being upset. Two of them were enabled to save themselves ; lint the other, John Miller, we lament !ti say, was drowned. A melancholy event occurred at Fareham en Wed• nesday se'nnight to a child of Mr. and Mrs. Wonhis. Those highly respected comedians, with their two children, were on their way from IVorthing (where they had performed during the season) to Lymington in Hampshire. On reaching the ebovementioned town, the coach changed horses, awl had just re started, when one of the doors of the vehicle flew open, and their son, a fine 1,..y •even years old, who was in the act of load hug - thronzli the window, fell out, and, the wheel., pa.sio: over im, in a moment he was exhibited to his horror .troch parents a wangled corpse. FrITRE ADllitiss us Th QUER.V. Some misunderstanding baring arisen respecting the presentation of Addresses, the Honourable lirppel Craven and Sir William Dell, have liven cammanded to state, that it is not ear intention of her Majesty to de- cline receiving Addresses fur the fntisre, nor her wish to check that ebillition of respect and attachment which has been so uriversally manifested by the people, and wWels is so highly gratifying to the feelings of her Majesty. Her Majesty, aware of the great incon venience such numerous bodies of people must experi ence i•t waiting upon her, on acronnt of the la►eness of the season, and the distance of Brandenburgh Hoese from the metropolis, oil! continue to receive Addresses by small Deputations on!v. An early day will be named fur her 3lajesty's receiving the numerous Ad dresses already voted, and nut presented on Monday last.

These are the advices received yesterday, and may perhaps be some what exaggerated, Clough I can believe any thing of them. " The Tyne sloop of war, arrived yesterday from Callao de Lima, with upwards sf three millions of dollars, chiefly fur account of the com pany." Lord Erskine, we are happy to state, was so far recovered vesterday as to he enabled to attend th e House of Lords in the afternoon. lie remained !OW time, but he took no part in the proceedings. He was much more recovered than could have been anticipated in a) short a time. As proof of the state of the at mos-phere of the Home, it may be mentioned that Earl Urey, who is in excellent health, and in the prime of life, was compelled to pause in the cotter, of his speech till the windows %erre opened, and till he could recover some of that strength which bad been subdued by the oppressive heat of the House. A confirmation has been received at Naples, of the intelligence of the entrance of tieneral Pepe into Pa lermo on the 6th. A convention has been signed be tween the contending parties. A proclamation has been published by the Neapolitan (lettere', in which he announces the formation of a Curet Martial, and a Committee of Internal Safety, in order to prevent future disturbances and outrages.

IRELAND LIMeRICK, OrT. !I.—About nine o'clork on Wed nrsday night, upwards of two hundred persons attack ed several tradesmen's houses in various parts of 'kis city, and committed many outrages. In Ca.tle.street, the forge helloes and other implements belonging to :Michael Aalloran, nailer, were dragged from his house into the street, and broken to pieces; the same violence was committed on the prop. rty of Step . . Bryan, and Richard Leonard, smitlo.„ in the !tame street--Leonard's wife was knocked down, and her pocket, containing about forty cut iron' her side. While these outrages were in pro4ress a mili tary patrole came up, and Leonard liming made a rush upon the gang, succeeded in taking two of them. They also attacked the patrole nn making their ap pearance, and one of the soldiers haring receired a blow from a stone, instantly fired on the assailantl, upon which they ran of!. There are fice persons COM mitted to gaol for these ofiences---namely, Cahill and John 111.Honnell, smiths, Olken in tle act,) Edward Hall and Patrick Halloran, smiths, and William Goss, nai!er. About ten o clock the seine party attarke•l the dwelling-house of Mr. Thomas Newsom, in Corn market-row, adjoining his iron manufactory, by throwing immense stones in throor.lo the parlour and hall windows, which acre entirely ile: , troyr , l, a 4 well as a looking-glass and other furniture cAttained therein. The houses of Mr. !word Parker, chandler, in Wickham street, and Mr. William Joint, chandler, John-street, shared a similar fate, supposed tey lb., s one party. The cause assigned for the outrage in Castle-street, as specified by inMrtnation on oath, sworn before Al derman Watson, is stated to be, for not contributing eighteen shillings anti nine pence each man to the funds of the Body calling, themselves "The United Trades of Smiths of Limerick." The same informa tion stated, that that Body were its the habit of as sembling at the hunse of a spirit retailer at Munlrate gate, and the Magistrate having proceeded there on lhursday last, with a military guard, found therein a chest containing Rule. anti Regulations, and other ilscuments, supposed to be sufficiently strong fur bringing home conviction to many persons concerned in thee , unlawful proceedings. They were conveyed to the Exchange. In the attack upon the Smiths no less than 26 per sons are sworn against, anti Call be fully identified. most of whom have absconded, but due Imams are taken to bring them to punishment. Such is the system of terror now practised, that a carpenter, who has been in the habit of working for Mr. Newsom for upwards of 14 years, refused to make new sashes for his windows, and to repair the damage, having been cautioned by those legislators from doing so. The smiths, in lihr manner, refuse' to shoe horses for those opposed to their Views. Cosi, Oct - . 27.—We regret to find, that a number of persons, said to belong to various trades in this City, assembled the night before last, and proceeded. in the usust lawless manner, to visit the dwellings of peaceable and industrious men, who refuse to enter into unlawful combination, and treated them in the most inhuman anti brutal way. We do not c hoose a t this moment to enter further into this subject. as we learn that the Peace-officers, under the direction of our active Sheriffs, are un the watch for the offenders. We trust they may be successful in detecting some of the ringleaders, and that a little timely severity will have the effect of withdrawing their deluded followers from courses, which must Inevitably terminate in . bringing down upon them the heavy band of the la.v. —( Cork Cleromielr.) The Dukes of York and Clarence, and Court Munster have visited his Majesty daily since his ac tin' at Carlton-house Irons Windsor.
