That 31inisters, who have bees se cow *Mr defeated and disgraced in their late attempts, :••• . will, at such a time. disclose any sf their fours plans I relative to the Queen, or to ether objects of national interest, cannot be presumed ; but that. their opponents, especially in the House of Commons, can stiffer their recent proceedings to pass off without the reprobation, they deserve, is more than can be looked for from the most Philosophical forbearance. The Ministers, aware+ of what they would have to encounter from a protracted meeting, will probably trail themselves of the exercise of that abruptness which is sanctioned by the forms of a Prorogation. The Commission way be brought down to the House of Lords at any moment most expedient. The t'sher of the Black Rod must be iustantiv sent to the Commons ; and the Speaker is required to quit the Chair, and follow the officer, whatever be the topic on which the House way have engaged. Much discussion, therefore, is in either place, altogether out of the question. Still, a certain time may he allowed which may be profitably employed ; and, it is expected that one subject may present itself, which from its nature and bearings cannot fail to demand and obtain atten tion. Mr. Baoiturfast, it is uutierstood, has given re plar notice to the Lotto CHANCELLOR and Lord CAS. MESE %OH, as her Masesvv's AvronNev-Oc:senat., • that the Qum( intends to communicate a Message to both Howes of Parliament this day. What tiseohjects of that message are, we cannot of course, pretend to know; but we may rationally infer that they either relate to the condition in which she is heft by the late proceedings against her, or to her provision as to retiderce and income, which is at present incon sistent with established usage. 't hese are objects that have an urgent thin; upon the attention of Parlia ment ; and, the mere especially, because her repeated applications to the Earl of LivxRPOUL reveling one of them at least, have tended only to encrease her NlAJesrv's suspense.—lf, after any remonstrance or request of her Slaseser on these points, the Mini ' sters should think proper to avail themselves of the customary power of precluding Parliament from dil -1 russiug or answering her Message, the nation will not fail to participate in the feelings's( the Wets. From the intensity of iuterest which the people have evinced in her MAJESTY'S affairs, ministers seek refuge is a Parliamentary recess. They flatter themselves that the vivacity and strength of public spirit will evaporate by delay. Their emissaries are at work in town as well as country to avail them selves of every opportunity to restrain the expres sious of the zealous, and pervert the dispositions of the dubious and timid. We shall not be snrprised if the remnant of " the lives and fortune's" men were to be put is requisition, and come forward to avow their &egoism:mice in all the proceedings of (lo vernment, sad enforce their abject example by their influence and authority. But the Jays of coninier cisl triumph are passed away. The country has, in proportion as it has become reduced ill wealth, Las be come more sober-winded and improved in principle. The old English spirit has revived, and a large ac cession of Weilll . . has -sakes plate swag tb., people.. if b 1 r ihemselves that the pub liciaiiblett. cat be as sadly eb led as forme' ly, they ti ill find themselves eftegisaal". dectivol 1 bey have stu:- ceeded in rousing the spirit of the natio:* against them selves ; but to allay that spirit, without retracing their steps, is beyond their powers. T hat spirit has per vaded every rank, through the remotest part of the kisgdoni. The inhabitants of the obscurest vile lages vie is seal with the most ardent in the metropolis in rejoicing at the defeat of tlovern meet ; and (rout the extent as well as strength of the feeling that is manifested, there is little reason to apprehend any sudden abatement. But the machinations of the renal tools of Ministers, though they inspire no fear, may awaken some precaution. In the recess of Parliament the friends of Justice and of the Weis must not relax their efforts. Those public spirited individuals who hare led the way in their respective districts, in address ing her 31.1Jeirr while under persecution, must follow up their steps with congratulations uu her de liverance. One respectable district of the metropolis, the other day at the Freemasons' Tavern, has set an example well worthy of general imitation. The union of conviviality with the promotion of the in terests of justice, freedom, and charity, is congenial to the hearts and habits of Englishmen ; and we know no occasion on which that union can be more conaisteutly displayed than on the present, or any day snore appropriate fur the celebration generally, than that on which her MAJESTY attends for the pur pose of public thanksgiving at the Cathedral of St. Paul. In the midst of our congratulations. we should, however, keep in mind, the interests of the object on accoent of whom they are called forth; and remem bering the persecution she has long experienced, an.. with which she still is threatened, let us never relax our efforts in her behalf till we have obtained, " in demnity fur the past, and security fur the future." The following is the list of the Addresses to he pre sented to her Majesty to-morrow, at Brandrnburgh• house. The Lord Mayor will go in state with the members of the Corporation, from Guildhall, at half past ten o'clock : Dover; Lord Mayor, Aldermen sad Common Connell; Ward of Cripplegate-Withost ; Ditto Crippiegate-Within ; Ditto Bishopsgate ; St. Giles and St. George ; Nt.

Sta—in the many discession that I hoes heard pp4n the sabiect of" F 014020 BANK Notts," I hare insatiably heard it obseiiv.xl, how very vesaarkabie it was that " 1:71111n1111" of forged Bank Notes one were brought to view, and that no " lisuan," no " EOl./LAVIiII" had ever been detected ? That we have so very often seen forged Bank Noise, bat have never , seen a forged Bank Kant? These, nosdonbt, are in terrogatories that convey imputations to our itna gination----that induce ssrepiciera to exercise her sera tiny. But that the times are so very polite, or rather, Sir, so subservient to power, so loath to " f or grease to greatness—so ashamed to intercede for poverty-11 would long since have furnished the Daily Press with the following lIINOCLAIR M LANCOOI.4 story of Fousien BANK Norris, whin h came within toy own professional esperieoce. I was consulted levelly 413 it. As a pledge of the truth, I send you the names and descriptions of the persons at full, in order that, if any doubt remains in your mind, you tnay make the necessary inquiry. ' I shall presume the quere to be, " who at: the neekets of those Forged Dank Noes My story is, in nese case, direetf# 1,, reply. . - Some years ago, prosecutions at the snit of the Rank of Inland for PoTed Rank Astra, were just as numerous and as mortal as they are now in Loudon. A Handelman of the name of It—, who was a very active Magistrate of the County of Dublin, had, by his exertions, rendered great service to the Bank, and to the pc4olic ; by his vigilance h e mad e ma n y valu able detehions—in fact, he was become so popular, so I celebrated. that all co 000000 unications upon that sohjeet ! were Slade to him. insomuch, that he was almost on aideremi by the public as Prosecutor-Helmut) of Bank Forgeries, amid by the Dank as a talesman. 1 learnt that he enjoyed a pension of AWL a-y:ar. Daring the period of these depredations, a man, an intelligent man, called upon a Mr. It who was also a Magistrate of the County of Dublin, and ten dered him information on the subje4t of " Forged Dank Notes." The informant stated, that hr would de tect an " Exalts% Ea," in the very act of cutting a Five Powati Note of the Bank of Ireland," nut at his shop, bit at ecohntry lod,:i.ogs, which he had hired for the purpose. His statement was so plausible, that his information was taken; although in the continence *ant, Mr. B—L was about to icier hire to Mr. is according to etiquette. To detect a " MAKER" was the great inducen.ent II Mr. B. to make this departure from that etiq. Mr. The ease appeared to him so e•ry in po,tant that be resolved not only to give it all his Ma,:iatrtial as sistance, but also his pro soma/ superintendence. With his servant, his constable, and a corporal's guard is disguise, and with only their side arms, lie proceeded at night to the Cotostry lodgings of the Esissuanti—they got easy admission—the unfortunate man wise caught in the fact—the plate was before him —the tool was in his hand—sc.e‘ra! ot.'er Forged `Pirko Were on his beach. Wasae-the shock hod somewhat subsided, this mi.- OW artist a ith crest subutissivene•s, begged leave to say a few words to Mr. H --L, "in private," Ise would " explain every thiug"—he would " satisfy" Mr. He, he, was quite, quite itsoocent."—The Magistrate stared—the Witienduei were so very ex pressive, that Mr. curiosity was excited to time gteatest degree. After the necessary precautions, they retired to another apartiuent, where, tar-a-kir, the following most extraordinsry denouement took place : With much composure, as if quite confident of Ills inaorimee---of ass acquittal—the Engraver presented to Mr. B--L the key of a desk, which he re l nested him to open. He then pointed to a /mew draw..r he requested Mr. B—t. to look at certain letters con tained in that *ern tklrswer. " Did Mr. B-1, know the hand-writing t"—lle recognised it instantly.—lt was the well known hand-writingof Mr. B. to whom he vas about to refer the imfiffmant us a point V . rtietrettc. " Taey tart hide edit find." The letters that were produce.; contained the complete conviction of this worthy Magistrate. The whole process, from the plain piece of copper to the rope, was atraugeml by this miscreant and his accomplices. While the Eng • was in custody, Mr. B—t. who was young its the Commission of the Peace, fiew to auother brother magistrate of long esperieuce for ad vice, and the fruits of their consultation was a com munication of this terrifl- discovery to the Governors of the Bank, who heard it with disgust and dismay. The wretch died shortly after, and thus escaped a public exposure. I hope he died a penitent. I now disclose the case to you for the benefit of society. fly a letter from the keeper of the Coffee-room at Pontypool, dated Nov. 13, as it appears in tha Afererrt, it is announced, that a certain provincial paper, which was distinguished by its animosity against the Queen, had been kicked out of the room by the Subscribers. It is added, that it was in comempla : Lion to consign it, with The CoN,ier a nd -Ne,r Times, publicly to the flames, at the approaching illumina tion in that town, intended to celebrate the triumph of Innocence and Public opinion over &Wilt and Ty ranny. The 411, , rnisg Post would escape because it was unknown there. A public meeting was held yesterdi. by the inha bitants of the parish of St. Mathew, Bethnal Green, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of presenting a loyal and dutiful Address of Congea -1 tulation to her Majesty the Queen. In consequence of the refusal of the Rector to grant the use of the Church to the purposes of this meeting, the parish• Weer* were oblired to assemble in the Vestry-Koos, which was'eapable of accommodating bat a limited number of persons. Several Resolutions were passe.l, espressise of the feelings and opinions of this eaten sin parish apron the oppressive and unconstitutional character of the late proceedings against the Queen, sad upon the signal triumph which her Majesty had obtained over her enemies. Au Address of Congratula tion, founded upon the Resolution, was carried onus'. uususly ; and aftee thanks had bees noted to Aiderusea Wood sad L&dy Lune Hamilton, and to the Church warden. for his Impartial readaet in the Chair, the meeting separated. ; OLIO OF JUNO't itliNCll.—Tats bps. 144- limo' O. evattrvisiar vies ottisve. us the MAW. it Mr. Denusau tor a new Mal la this tile. the Court granted the rile to Atli MOW.
