The 3leetini was ounterouay attended, many ale gaol fet::s:es graced thc ploceadicgs with their pre- M!. Honnotfse, on being called to the Chair, said t ts he shoal,' ever feel happy on being called on by y portion of his constituents, to stand forward on 4.1 public occasion. To do so was not merely the sold performance of his duty, but the gratification of h's hest feeling. The soost unobs d must now see t' at the proceeding in the House of Lords was no lon g-r the trial elate Queen, it was the trial of his Ma jesty's Ministers. On looking at that proceeding from the beginning to the end, it might be seen that the erernies of her Majesty had not succeeded in fixing an) stain upon her character, though they certainly I ti placed ituleiiitle blots upon their own.—(Applause.) The people of England, naturally interested on behalf cf the injured and oppressed, dewed the utmost synk why for the sufferings of the Queen ; not because • was a Queen, but because she was a woman—be t al‘e she was marked out as the intended object of Op prossioo. The case, in fact, was not the case of the tzveer—it was the case of the people; were they tame to submit to see her rights trampled under the 1 o ifs olfaction, they might soon apprehend the for t •i!ure of their own. He should like to ask the Noble I urds and the Hon. Gentlemen who were concerned in t is monstrous prosecution, what would they think, 1.-w would they feel, if a sister, or other relative of t: errs, Was assailed as the Queen had been assailed ? • ~old 'y nut express their horror and detestation ? r otild they not protest against a proceeding so mon strous, so cruel and illegal ? "(he conduct of Ministers trvards the Queen was not to he easily described.— Every thing.harsh, insulting, and cruel was said anti t'•tne against her; but it was clear from the proceed irgs of the last few days, that the enemies of her Ma .; •sty were floundering in a quagmire, which instead t•' spattering dirt on others only befouled themselves. l!c thotight their case desperate; they had but a kirk or two to give before they would expire. —(A laugh.) —The Ilinsourable Uentlemau concluded amid 'nth*. Si; :tie applause. Mr. PETRA Moons stood forward to more the Re st.:Ations ; he was received with great applause. He (.97:grata:tiled the meeting on the full attendance, and .: , ed the people would always meet when the coon- r:y was assailed, when the oppressor was to be braids] ed. and the innocent protected. The question now watt s ✓ ! whether the Queen was guilty —that questioa 01 , put to rest—her innocence was manifest to the ..,rll—Ant the question was, what was the extent of t' .• guilt of Ministers? It was not easy to fathom ti r deptlr . of their crimes, but still the country would du its Att. The conspiracy against her Majesty was of the Most base and nefarious kind, and the blinistere were at the bottom of it; who else could lave bfeh? 'none but their creatures, the Ministers and they only were answerable for it. The coun try War! Lund to fathom the business to the bottom, and so they would. Legal cunning might exhaust its an in vein. After what had already transpired, no man could have the effrontery to say, that the Bill could ever pass into a lew—(applause.)—The Honour. able Getftleman, after paying a warm tribute to the itdependent press of the country, which he said had achieved the safety of tier Majesty, which was the a valmon shield of all, without which the liberties and rights of the -people would perish, concluded by oh guying on the speech of Mr. Courtenay in the House of Commons on Tuesday last. That Oentleman stated, that the tide was turning against her Majesty; there would beno more Addresses presented to her Majesty from the people of England. What was that but say ing that he would vote to Aod the Queen guilty, if her case should be brought before him ? He hoped, that the people throughout the country would call, on all occasions, on their representatives to attend. public meetings, it nits a.daty they owed to their Constituents to attend to support them if in the right, or if wrong to point out their error.—(Cheers.) —Mr. Moore read a string of Resolutions which were carried unani inonsly. An - Address to her Mojestr, founded on those Reso lotion, was egad by Mr. Thornhill, anti adopted. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then agreed to. Mr. Hoinousa returned thanks, and the Meeting was dissolved. Her Majesty's Answer to the Address from the In-' habitants of the Borough of Gosport:--- !'

" The faction which is so strenuously labouring, un der the show of a judicial proceeding, to deprive me of my rights, is the same which has, for many years, been making su c h monstrous inroads upon the people's li berties. With that faction the most interesting ques tion is, not whether the Queen is innocent or guilty ; but whether they shall attain their usurped domination. They well know how to throw the cloak of morality or religion over their sordid views; but with them even the degradation of the Queen is a mere (petition of place. They consider the Queen an obstacle in the way of their selfishness; and (hey think that they never can be secure, while she possesses what they can never acquire—the affections of the people.

On a witness having been asked yesterday, whether SACCIII had given him any counsel, or made any ap plication to him respecting the process against the QeclN, the inquiry was stopped, and there ensued a long debate, which ended in a reference to the Judges, " whether the Courts below, if, abet cress-ezansieatisse, they discover that a witness has corrupted or endea. roared to corrupt another person to give false testimony, the Counsel fur the prosecution may not be permitted to give evidence of such corrupt proceeding, without calling back such witness." This mousing, the Lotto CIIIRF Justice delivered the opi nine of himself and brethren, that no evidence could be received contradictory of what had been previously given, without that witness having been distinctly examined to that particular point ; and if he Lad not been so examined, then he should be called back. Under all the circumstances of the case, therefore, the Judges were of opinion, that the question teferred to them could not be put. Ou this opinion having been pronounced, an animated discussion arose among their Lordships. It was contended, that the point in question related to a matter of fact, the agency of an in videal, about which their Lordships were sufficiently competent to decide without any reference to the prac tice of the Courts of Law ; and, after a warm debate, a motion was made that the question in debate should then be put ; when there appeared on a division, For putting the question - - 59 Against it of the eon vitt' under sentence of death in Newgate.

The Brussels Papers which arrived last night by the Flanders .Mil, contain the subsequent account of the opening of the Session of the States-Heaeral, by his Majesty the King of the Netherlands &gussets, Orr. 11.—His Majesty opened this morning the Session of the States General, in person, by a speech from the throne. The following are the passages relating to Foreign Powers:— Our Foreign relations continue to be maintained with re ciprocal good will, and 1 hare the satisfaction of being ibis ti assure you, that I continue to hope that peace, white is se necessary to us, will be preserved.
