Though the conclusion of Me Most 111060arat•le Juilicatnre should be iu favour of try eattaireace., it will never be forgotten that the prin ciple of the Hill was highly unconstitutional—an Wm ties of isdividual right, and an invasion of national liberty. ••• lo behold all existing Laws, both Civil and Eccle litglical, deliberately set aside in order to crush one in di.v.iilual for the purp ose o f grat if y i ng anot h er, i s a pro - I ' , cling which, however it may have found support in the obscure judgments, or in the corrupt interests of particular inslisuinals in the present generations, will rsperiesay Ate. unqualified reprobation of posterity. Whets the tumultuous agitation of the present con flict shall save subsided, and men's minds shall have re covered their former serenity, it will hardly be thought credible Mat any Ministers, not absolutely insane, would Mare suffered such a question to endanger the peace of the community. " The great excellence of a free Constitution is that the law is one and the issue for all. Hut how can we reconeile to our ideas of a free Constitistion the viola tion of every existing law for the benetit of an indivi dual? Yet is ant this, in a few words , the substantial intent of the Hill of iains and Penalties ? .

The favour of Providence hts bees clearly manifested in the striking' vicissitudes of myturentfal history.

"The indignities which I experienced when abroad were excrescences (ruin that great trunk of convirary, liainst my honour anti my rights, which has taken such a deep root in this country, and has spread its branches far and wide over the continent. " The nation has been insulted iii the person of the Qnren ; nor ought it to be forgotten that a Minister uf the Pope dared, in an official instrument, to de praver the Queen. of England of that appellation to which she is lawfully entitled.

The present conspiracy, in like manner, is demonstrated to have been the deliberate contrivance of falsehood and malevolence. Where a country has been long governed for the be nefit of a few, it is not surprising that the people should be clamorous fur such an extension of political rights, as mar enable them to cited: that corrupt influence, which, while it lasts, will more or less paralise the moral euer gies of those within the sphere of its agency, and finally sap the very vitals of the tisnatitution. All political to ititutions. like the material fabric of man, are compo sed of perishalib• elements. They contain in themselves the principle of decay, of which the agency, unless scrupti lously watched and carefully retarded, is never still. But, how new linvernments ever see the necessity of early re formation! Hence they delay reform till it is too late ; or too late to be beneficial. They either never intend a reittely, or they procrastinate the application till it is ap plied in vain." TO TIM EDITOR OP TUE STATESMAN. Stn—The Far) of Grot-venor's doubts seem so well founded, that the witnesset against the Queen can not be indicted for perjury. that the public should be prcpared for that event. Perjury eau be legally committed only when a lawful oat, it ministered by any that have authority, to any person, in a judicial proceeding, in a Court of Record, oho sweareth false ly, in a matter material to the issue in such proceed ing," .1 Inst. 161 ; and punishable by the Statute of 5 Elizabeth, cap. 9, or at the Common Law. Now, perjury cAutaiitted before the llouse of Lords in support of the allegations of a hill brought in flare, not being committed in a/re/idol prucectlie{, and not bring committed in a Coe.: If Record, and nut being committed tehe:e any issue east, of Record, is not within this act, auy more than it is punishable at the l'otionou Law ; and if the Noble Lords had had a copy of those paramount authorities, Bracton and Fleta, to have assisted them, they would Lave found in the Fourth look of the former, and the Fifth Book of tha latter, that false swearin.; may be committed before them, exempt from all penalties, except such as they may be enabled to indict for prevarication of a witness befare their Committees. And, as the people are now anxious to know who are to he punished for the conspiracy gaunt our gra. citous Queen, which von have been so instrumental in detecting, it is also as well they should be informed that nobody can, by the laws as they stand ; fur a conspiracy is " a consultation or agreement between two or more to appeal or indict an innocent person falsely or maliciously of felony, whom, accoldlngly. they indict or appeal, sad who is afterwards acquitted by the verdict Of twelve men." 4 Coke, 105t...14—! Now, as the conspirators against the 44111(4-kisses tber appealed nor indicted her Majesty f.. a telesty, and as her Majesty cannot be acquitted by a jury, as she is not arraigned before one, it is quite clear that • punishment for the conspiracy against her Majesty cannot he enforced. The public will, perhaps, exclaim that the laws are ineffective. lint, fur the character of those laws, it must be reniettobered, that they never could provide for the punishment of offences unknown to the law, and that an Act of Parliament creating the offence, and indicting the punishment, is abhorrent to it. Nor could the Common Law ever contemplate that the House of Lords would at any time erect itself into a Court of inquiry, not of Record, for the trial of as imputed misconduct unknown to that law as au offence, in which the Lords would till the incompatible offices of :termer, JodKe and Jury ; sind that it would ears berme a qurstloiviebether peljury before such alrl bunal should be punished '? 'flat punishment, then, of the persons who hare ad vised and supported this disgraceful attempt against the honour of her Majesty the Queen, must be leflt to the faithful Commons, who it is hoped, will net fail to imp.

Its. the amonut of goods alleged to have been sold and delivered for account of the bankrupt's estate. There was nothing of public interest in the case. The plaintiffs failed to make out their case, and a non suit was entered. The Court rose at half past twelve o'clock, having disposed of all the causes set down in the paper for the day. On Monday the Coact will be occupied oa Commission /nry Calms. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' CO UR T.—FittbAr. The Court sat again this day in the Justice Hall, Old Bailey. William Alinibray was brought up for the judgment of the Court. He had been strongly op posed on the preceeding day, on the ground of his having incurred much expense by his unnecessarily entering into a defence at law of the debt, and filing a bill in Chancery, on which he obtained an injune ticn, but which was afterwards dissolved by the Lord Chancellor; a most satisfactory answer having been put on the files of the Court. The Commissioners hav ing heard Counsel on both sides respecting the insol vent, thought it their duty to consider the case fur one night before giving judgment. This morning the Chief C ~,,, missioner delivered the jthigtuent of the Conti. Ile observed, that after a dispassionate and candid consideration of the case, the Court were unanimously of opinion, that the tiling of this bill in equity by the insolvent, was on a most frivolous and vexatious ground, which merited severe animadversion. In consideration, however, of the length of time lie had been imprionctl, the Court would only gi►e hint six months more, to he computed trim the filing of the petition. and therefore he was accordingly adjudged to six months' imprisonment. BOXING -........- Oranrr, the Devonshire wrestler, and (Mimi, a Montgomeryshire man,, ought their match on Tholes day, in a paddock belonging to l'aptaiu Moss, at Did dlesford, Hants. Ihe former had acquired considera• We fame by taking the conceit out of a formidable American black lately, and 6illan h .1 cleated his w.,) in several combats. The men funght for fifty gu;;eis, aside, and the white hag men, in imitation of the Car lite and Norwich collectors, took a toll of a ta..wcr e.teh. Milan was secouded by his bruthrr, and Buckhorse picked tip Granger. The first round lasted nine minutes, and it was all fight. Granger had rather the best of the rally from quickness, but his adversary would not be denied, and he shook his head, and faced blows gallantly. A scientific boxer of the London sclsoul would have cone down with half the hitting, but these stood cutting-up until the claret flew amongst the spwaturs. Granger was at hook /awed• by a rattling round right-handed blow upon iha ribs. la tha second round llilla•n was met hr a blow en the mouth at going in, which defaced leis frontispiece by drawing a couple of them, and he retreated and felt his jaw seemingly as if be suspected he had lust a part of it. Granger encouraged by success, followed up his advantages, and threw his adversary a Somer set sufficient to hate cracked his limbs. In the third bound bith were much reduced by weakness and bleeding, and it was a hugging round, as were the two following, and there was ►to further mischief done. Round sixt&i, both having got second wind, they turned to at each other again, and fought the hest round in the Irattli: 'The advantages were equal until Oillant was hit down by a blow, which split the bridge of his nose, and let loose the blood like water from a spout, and the blow won the tight. In the seventh rouuil liillatu showed, much man hood under great disadvantages, as tiranger worked hard and kept the leml, without giving away a chance of the ether recovering himself. 'Me tenth round won tiranger the battle in forty six minutes, and glad enough was he to hear the word " uo more" from Gilliam's seconds. Two minor fleas fullowed, and the day closed with Jollity. CIRCUIT ISTULLIGENCE, SCOTI..I ND. -....i....-- . The Circuit Court was opened at Stirling, on Mon day week, by Lord llermand.
