Lord Ileresford has addressed the Editor of a Morn ing paper, relative to the letter and answer ascribed to his Lordship and the tiocernment at Lisbon, ion ineiliately on his Lordship's arrival from Kio Janeiro. His Lordship declares that the letter and answer in questions were fabrications; and frosts that those pe riodical works or papers which may have inserted Chain in their numbers, will equally insert this refit tation. VOTE or TR AN KS TO TH it LA T[ LORD Al %TOR. A Member of the Court rose to move a vote of thanks to the late Chief Magistrate, fur the ability and zeal he had displayed during his Mayoralty, for the readiness he had always shewn to convene that Conrt. and more particularly fur the attention he had paid to the amelioration of the Pour, of which Society his Lordship had been the Promoter and Patron. Mr. Jure seconded the motion, and said he felt con vinced that amid the complicated duties the Chief Ma gistrate had to perform, the Court would allow no one had given more general satisfat.tion than the late Lord Mayor. It was not as a Politician they were to judge of him, but from the more general duties attendant upon his office. One censure had, indeed, burn passed npon him by that Court, anti he trusted no further allusion to that circumstance would be necessary, as he was sure the Court would never consent to preachee and foggy too. The Worthy tientleman concluded, by commending the urbanity with which the late Chief Magistrate had received every deputation ; and the politeness n ith which he had attended to the various requisitions. He concluded with observing, nu man bed conducted him self withl more propiety, and he sincerely believed. if he had committed any error, it was of the head. and not of the heart. The motion was then put by the Itccuader. Mr. Sheriff WILLI %us supported the motion. The question %%as then put and carried. The Lolly Mayo.( communicated to the Court, that her Majesty had announced to hint throw:lt Mr. Keppel Craven, her intention of attending divine service at St. Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday, the 2oil, of this month.

Mr. Penman, and utters of her Majesty's Counsel, and several public characters have been invited.

The company is ex pected to be very numerous; with a more than a usual proportion of private carriages, IT WAN WITNESSES AGAINST TIIT. constables, whom we mentioned as collected some time since at Cotton Harden, were assembled, it appears, to allay the fears of its foreign inmates, on the r. joking nights, and not fur the purpose of an immediate es..ort. Ihe departure of those gentry was, however. then in an advanced state of preparation ; and nothing, it is probable, but the dread of nitilestation frost: the popu lace, who were, at that time, :len in every quarter, would have prevented its tal.ing place. Yesterday af ternoon, however, that portion of the witnesses otiose attendance in London was not expected to be further required, did actually begin to move off about half an hoar before high water. A number of boats, well manned, belonging to the Thames Police, were ob served to be drawn up at Cotton-garden stairs. A crowd soon collected on Westminster bridge, who, on the departure of the Italian wortiseee,assailed them wills repeated groans and hisses, and shouts of " Long live the Queen;" but a posse of constables goons mingled with the populace and prevented the assailants f employing any other offensive missiles than words. — Notwithstanding the suddenness suit rapidity of their removal, a uumber of persons followed and preceded diens iu boats, and the intelligence spreading as they went, the like greetings were continued throughout their whole course. In the Pool. particularly, the air if-echoed to the shouts and acclamations of " Long live Queen Caroline—Queen Caroline fur ever."

The Queen is understood to have returned an an swer to Lord Liverpool's esesmonietiffion, that " until Parliament . shall aii et for the diepatel, of hosiness, the allowance winch h m hitherto been 8:11 . 4,yed by the Queen will be co -tinned to her; and that it will then be for Parlinttre:a to determine the i•,nitint of the future provision to he greeted to Ljesty." In this answer, M-.j. v oy, it is said, isforwas his Lord ship, tl:at so lung as Parlianteot was sitting, and con nived at the eimaituation of the allowance granted to her as Princess of Wales, sloe did not deem the receiv- I hi; of it ineoust-tent with her homer ; but that now that Ministi re have announced their determination to prorogue Parliamel.t, without paoisio.ilig any regular provi,iun for tile t!iitt maintenance of h r dignity as Qinten, she no long..r feels herself at liberty to receive any allowance Wilieil is not sanctioned by Parliament ; and that in taking it upon thituisrlvi a to pay to her either the amount of her former zliowance, or any miter sum, witlnalt such san'tion, Ministers must be aware that they are acting disrespectfully toe ards her. and ill violation of the law,. The letter is said to he drawn up with great ability, and from its inte resting natu.e, may be deemed necessary by her Ma jesty a advisers to be laid before the public. A letter has been received from a gentleman, by the treasurer of the Queen's Plate Committee, with the sum of tifty guineas, towards a subscription, which the writer stig,,cats for building a palace for the Queen.

Lord Duocantioti and Mr. Bennet came to tows from a considerable distance, to (line with the Queea yesterday. Lord Carnarvon called yesterday ou her Ji.ijeaty. mirrftrous AFFAIR. Some time ago as individual, who is said to be re spectialtly situated, was brought before Sir John causer. at the Town Hall, and held to bail, on a charge of se ducing and violating a girl of fifteen. At the following Sessions a trne bill was found against I • ; but on the trial he called a number of respectable witnesses, who clearly proved an alibi, and he was finally acgoitteel, after a deliberation of sear an hour and a half amongst the Jury. Yesterday, however, application was made at the Town Hall by a gentleman, who wished to know how to pro ceed, in a case, as he observed, of more than ordinary singularity. He proceeded to detail, that, since the ac quittal of the individual above alluded to, hand-bil's hail been published and circulated throughout the neighbour hood, signed by the person against whom the complaint had been made, the girl who had charged him, one of the witnesses on the former trial, and eleven of the gen tlemen who had formed the Jury, in which lie (the ap plicant) was distinctly charged with the same offence fur which the other had already been tried and acquitted Such an accusation proceeding through such a channel. cook! not fail of producing a very great impression on the mind of all who read the account which this paper imputed to hie., who was, be said, a stranger to all the parties. One of the placards was handed in and read; it premised that the girl, who had . :.,eets seduced, anstious to make all the atonement in her power, begged to de clare publicly, that all she swore when she made the charge against Mr. , was totally false, and with out foundation, the present applicant (whose name and address it gave in full) being the guilty man. The tientleman proceeded jo state further, that as soots as this extraordinary charge came to his knowledge, he lost no time in waking such inquiries as he thonght to be necessary. He went to the house of the girl's pa its company with some uitimsses ; and, on inter rogatittg her, she declared (lie said) without any threat being held out to ber,-that the whole accusation against him was founded in falsehood, and entirely at the request of the ;person originally charged, who requested her to make the charge. against some one else, as it would make his own character right with his friends; be also threatened that, if she did not reticent, he would indict list for perjury ; but added, that if she willingly entered into his views, he would give her a 5 /. note , ire provide for her, if her friends disowned her. All this the girl fhe stated), wrote down on paper in the presence of ter ather and mother, and several other witnesses, and she signed it and gave to him, of at any time to swear it before any Magistrate. The applicant also added, that he understood there was an intention to indict him self and another person, who was a stranger to him, and be believed to the rest of the parties, for persuading the girl to lay the charge against the person we have already alluded to. Mr. Newsome advised him to leave the papers and call to-morrow (Ibis day), when he would receive the Magistrate's opinion on the subject. The foregoing atfeir is so obscure, that no prejudicial opinion should be fumed of either party until further investigation.
