111\ met kt it pass without a few observation. With refer .' it to what had already passed in the course of the discussion on this subject, he begged to express his con vietion that it was now more necessary than ever that Web petitions should he sent to that House. His reason be thinking this was, that more unjust, calumnious. and leipbed attacks had been made upon her Majeety after nOguittal, that ever were made even before. If he had beeettad that after the prosecution which had been web& on anklet her Majesty in the other House was etedea, the prosecutors would be found coming down rte the House of Onamons, that they could have peodoeml such sad such evidence if they had chosen. which evidence they did not produce, he declared on his own part, that lie would not have believed it : and hr was sure the Noble Lord opposite would have been the gest to deny the possibility of such conduct heing prac tied. He repeated that he would not have believed it, eves with the full previous knowledge he had of the pro set:atom, who had, before trial, withheld the title of Queen is speaking of her, and had sent her to he tried. by a trihenal than which he thought it impossible that say weld be formed which must come to decision with sit 'lOllll prejudice audimenitch interest, It had been charged spun the AttornersOeneral and his Majesty's Ministers, Ilia haefog failed lu their attempt to convict her Majesty at the bar of the WASP of Lords, they hail bethoiight thenseekes of a mhos ft' slandering lier;by circulating throaglsout the country, at their own expense. stete "mats relative to the subject which were calculated to hpve that elect, but which statements were without Touvelation. This charge had not yet been denied, and it was necessary they should know if it was to he. When his Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham) was refused to be heard in wishisse to make observations which would haw beam admitted at any honest tribunal. these slaw Jere bad been allowed to circulate for three weeks, — a thing nnwalleled in a case of character and repute teas:: The late proceeding against her Majesty was a P a rlian t eatary proceeding. not complete without going through the two Houses of Parliament ; and therefore it was jnstly conceived that her Majesty woad have her trial in the House of Commons. Therefore, although itZe i tt have been possible fur her M a j est y to have pro d all her evidence to the House of Lords, as the de lay would hr much shorter in the other House, there existed eseellent reasons for withholding some parts of it. It was impossible to foresee that the matter would not rouse down to the House of Commons ; but after all was done in the other House, her Majesty's prosecutors soddenly tell her that she is not to have .' trial, or an opportnnity of vindicating herself. lint even after it was finished In this manner in the House of Lords, the speeches of certain members of that House, or more we reedy speaking, perhaps. pamphlets purporting . to be such speeches, were industrionsly circulated through the troantry seder Government franks. That was a charge against his Majesty's Ministers whirl' be gave them an opportunity of denying. The apprehension of her Me . jest?, prosoontion'heing renewed in that House, ought to liave bees removed front the mind of her Majeety and the artistry at the earliest moment, and as that lied nut been done, it was scarcely possible to believe that this proarcutios bad yet terminated. If it were not in tended to g o on with it, why was the House de prived of the attendance of the Right llononrahle tuber for Liverpool t or why were Ministers deprived of his aid when they stood so lamentably in need of it? And why, if there were not some lingering intention of this nature. did the Noble Lord opposite, when this pa cific declaration was scarcely out of his mouth, come down to that House and speak of her Majesty in such terms and epithets as could scarcely be justifiable tinder any circumstances? lie would pursue this strain no further, but he would pnt a case : He would suppose that under a theatre of Ministry, any one of the Rx-Mi- Meters should be accused, and a charge brought against him by the party at the time being, in power. He would suppose the offence with which this individual should be charged to have been committed in Ireland *boot the Vow of the Union Act ; and he would suppose the af fair itself to be bribery, and that reports on the snbject Prevailed to a vast extent in Ireland. Suppose, in fol lowing up the charge, these Ministers should send out a Commission to collect evidence and examine ihorough• Le into the matter, and follow the whale up by a Bill of Pales and Penalties. If the Bill of Pains anti Penalties *era inch that it pledged the House of Lords, or the whole of the supporters of the said Ministry to carry it throngh—and if when in the House of Lords, it bad been abandoned by its abashed prosecutors, what wonl'l they say Win the Rouse of Commons the Minister was to say --Oh! oar case u - as confined within certain limits — we could have produced eighty witnesses of the fact if we had chosen? Was it possible, he asked, that the House of Commons could sit by and endure it: Was it possi ble, he asked, that they could sit by and hear their geese so treated without coming forward to shield her tram it? and bad he not described the conduct of the :Noble Lord ? lie (Mr. Denman) hail never any doubt of the illegality of the omission of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy, and had never lost an opportunity of expressing his opinion to that effect. The Queen was nate accused of having done what she hail all along done --Amending her just rights. All lie had to say on the general subject was, that if, when the Noble Lord came drown to that House with his money in one band, and • Lis reputed charges in the other, had her Majesty ac. vented his money she would have shewn herself unwor thy of that generous devotion to her caiNe which the whole people of Kngland had so strongly manifested. and which they twilit' tontines to *hew in spite of all the attempts that might be made to restrain them. Lori CASTLERRAOH rose to state that it was not his intention to follow the Hon. and Learned Gentle• man into the wide field of discussion which lie !sad breschesl—rot that be was averse to meet him upon any or all the points he bad dilated upon, but because' he thought it would be much more convenient for the House, and more in order with the usual form of , their debates, for him (Lord C.) to wait until the question of the Liturgy (of which a notice stood on their paper fur so early a day as Tuesday) came regu larly ander their consideration.—(Hear. hear!) —It did net follow that because the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had thought proper, in the discharge of his professional duty towards her Majesty—(Lund 1 cries of " No," partienlarly from Mr. Denutan)—it did not follow because the Hon. and Learned Gentle man had uttered this sort of declamation, that them.' fore, he (Lord C.) should be provoked to embark la a premature debate.—(Hear.) --He knew. indeed, Iwo* plifilkiiit it was to restrain some lion.

Am I therefore to be told by the Noble Lord that 1 ern 'meshing from an office copy of a brief—that lam speak ing the sentiments put into my mouth by another ra ther than those which are thidictates of my own mind ? —(Hear, hear, hear). Lord CASTLEREAGH rose, but the cries of " order" anal " Mr. Speaker" were so loud, that lie sat down without being able to give any explanation. The SPEAKER said, that if the House understood the language used by the Noble Lord to be such as con veyed a direct imputation upon the Hon. anal Learned Gentleman of a nature to obstruct the freedom of debate, to which every Hon. Member was entitled, he (the Speaker) had no difficulty in saying that such language was highly disorderly.—(Hear.) So far as his recol lection furnished him with the import of the particular expressions used by the Noble Lord on the present ores si9n, he did not think them disorderly when used in reply to an attack which might be deemed of so penotial a nature. If he took a wrong view of their meaning or Import, it was for the House to correct him, and say that he should have alone his ditty hail he interrupted the Noble Lord at the instant.—(Hear, hear.) • Loral CASTLEREAGH roer, and said that notliino was further from his intention Ow' any wish to reflect personally upon the lion. and Learned Gentleman._ (Ilear.)--Indeed he thought he had diminished rather than increased the effect of the lion. anal Learned tier.- tlentin's sentiments, anal which, from the variance they presented atone moment from ;hose uttered at another, and particularly in conjunction with Mallon. and Learn ed Friend (Mr. Brougham), who was also of her Ma jesty's Counsel, certainly were calculated to lead to the notion, that at one moment the Learned Gentlemen were delivering their own opinions, while at another they were merely speaking from their briefs.—(Hear. Hut certainly, the Hon. and Learned tientleenon had said to-night, he spoke as a Member anal not as a Coon set, he should have takes' a little more rare than he hall done to state accurately the contents of bia (Lord Castle rea gh'e) speech. The lion. and Learned Gentlemaa had certainly misrepresented his speeds,—(hear, hear ) Now as to what had been said respecting the circulation of particular speeches, why should the lion. I lentlemen opposite complain that correct and authentic 'vider of particular speechea haul been circulated thrmighont the country ; what else could they expect after the conduct which they had themselves pursued respecting their transaction% ? If indeed the 110 ttttt triable Gentlemen haul been silent when the Rill was withdrawn, then indeed they might, with souse appearance of reason, expert that others world have followed their example ; but had the lion. dent. 'moused that proper anal prndent course? or had they not at the different meetings at which they attended, in the must tonspiung terms, attacked both their public and private motives, and charged them with eliciting nothing but " filthy lies" (far that was, lm believes!, the expression) daring the pro ceeilingo inatiteteil against her Majesty ?—(llear.)--was the lion. and Learned Rent. to expert this, end yet at the same tune to complain, if a more correct copy of the weed , of any individual, one calculated to remove a part of the delusion which prevailed, wan to find its way into any of the post haga?' —(Hear, hear.)-..With refit cure to the misrepresentation of his speech the other night, by the lion. and Learned Gentleman, he begged tat explain that he had never said any evidence during the late proceedings was kept hark in the remise of any discretion. What he had said was this—" that it was not to be inferred from what had taken place in the Ilonse of Lords, that the Milan Comm ission bad before it no solier evidence than that produced during the trial." That was not the fart; for there was a large number of depositions given before the Milan Comndsaion by parties who could nut be prevaile.l upon to come to England. What he had sail was this, that there had been eighty depositions before the Milan Commission from parties who appeetred to the Commis sioner% entitled to credit, but who, in consequence of the treatment of time witnesses at !lover, refused to COMP over anal give esidence. The lion. anal Learned tient. ought to have recollected what he and his Leariaed Col leagues had alone sinning the trial to render what they called her Majesty's aospiittal complete. Dial they nut oppose the overture for a short delay to bring over wit nesses who had stopped on the way ? Ile could now give the Hors. Learned Gentleman notice, that so lung as he and others who called themselves the Queen's friends, but w'untn he (Lord i'.) regarded as her most injudicious adviser., who with objects personal to them selves, rather than to the Queen, whom they misled by their counsels—( (t ries of hear from the Ministeri a l benches, and reverberated frosts the Opposition)—eo long, he repeated. as the floss. Gentleman opposite in dulged in these attacks, so long should lie consoler him self as bound by ono restraint in repelling those attacks by the plain recital of trnth.—(llrar, hear.) Mr. DENMAN explained Mr. HUME bergell to call for explanation from the Noble Lord opposite, respecting one part of his speech, which contained a statement that a part oldie public press wan in the pay of her Majesty. Ile believed that the Noble Lord had no better authority for making that statement than the lion. Member for Surrey (Mr. Sum ner) had for his, on a former nigh!, respecting the Queen's deli's. The Noble Lord :night, indeed, from his correct knowledge Fetes one- pert of the rem Woe paid from authority, infer that 'moths r part was also paid ; hot. in cinnution justice be callel upon bins to as sign some season, or give souse authority, to justify his assertion.—(Hear, hear.) Lord CASTLEREAGH made no reply. (in the motion that it be printed. Mr. Alderman WOOD said, that he should not have troubled the house with any observations on the pre sent occasion, bad it not been fur souse of the remarks made by the Noble Lord. (Castlereagh.) The aseathers for Somerset and Surrey )had talkell of large armrests, which titer conceived and stated, on hearsay. to be unpaid by her Majesty; but he understood that the member for Surrey hail been 'maid* to get frosts his constitittents any iiiformation ofsnrh unpaid bills, or of any minis of money paid by her Majesty Gee getting up processions. lie was, indeed, ready to WM to the hon. members for Surrey and Somerset. that If they could produce one instance of a hill hieing saraid, or of a single shilling bring laid out by her Majesty .

After a few words in explanation from Mr. Alderman WOod,tlie petition wu ordered to be printed. Mr. PELHAM presented a petition from the town at Spalding, in the county of Lincoln. deprecating' the late proceedings against the Queen, and praying for the re. storation of her name to the Liturgy.--- - Laid on the ta ble, and ordered to he printed. Mr. HI 711 E presented a similar petition from thecae. poration of the city of Perth. After some observations from Mr. Hume anti• Mr. Iluantssost, it was laid on the table, and ordered lobe printed. • Mr. HONYWOOD presented a petition to the netts effect from the gentry, clergy, and freeholders of the (musty of Kent. The High Sheriff of the county, he sras sorry to say, hail refwed to call the meeting, after taking two or three (lays to consider the requisition presented to him. The county, therefore, in cow qiience of the late bills, had been forced to meet in the Nisi piers conct, in the town-hall of Maidstone. That was the reason why the meeting had not, perhaps, been so numerous as on former occasions on which the county had been convoked, the room being rapable of containing only 600 or 700 prrsons. But, es to the unanimity of those who attended ; he could vouch in the most confident manner, for only one hand had been held up against the resoluti !!!! s, and that was by a pay Lieutenant of the Waggon 'Frain. A loyal address had been gist up in the county, which com plained loudly of the diffusion of blasphemy; hot seeing opposite to him the Worthy Baronet, (Sir E. Knatchbull), his Hon. Colleague, lie would ask him if there had been any prosecutions for blasphemy in the county of which he was a magistrate. Sir E. KN ATC I L L should have made very few remarks indeed, if his liononrable Friend hail not attacked the rowlurt of die high sheriff, and represented this as the unanimous petition of this county of Kent. (Mr. lloxywoon ithserved :terns• the table, that lie had stated this to he the unani lllll us petition of the meeting, with the exception of one person.) It was true that tile high sheriff did take suns time to consider what answer he sh•uld return to the requisition, and that at last he said he did not think it right to comply with it. The high sheriff thought that the majority of the county were hostile to the meeting, and for a proof of that lie was indebted to the requisitionists themselves, who could not get five magistrates to sign the requisition. ..111 to prosecutions fur blasphemy, did it follow, because there might have been none in their own county, that therefore they were to be blind to the interests of the country at large :--(Hear, from Lord Castlereagh). As to the unanimity or the meeting, lie should only MI that the lieutenant who had held up his 'hand against the petition had almost forfeited his life in Consequence of his dissent. The petition having been brought up, Mr. HONYWOOD explained. Sir ROBERT WILSON, as one of the requisi tionists, would say, that the excuse set up.by the Ho nourable Member opposite was a very feeble one. But lie (Sir Robert Wilson) thought that the only ques tion was, whether the requisition was so respectably signed as to justify the High Sheriff in convening the county Sir E. KNATCHISULL explained, and in conclu sion observed, that he would now say something for his lion. Friend opposite, which his lion. Friend ought not to hate left unsaid. In a strict legal sense, this was to be taken as the petition, only, of the Will vidual who had actually signed it : and th t indivi dual certainly, it must he confessed, was a very re spectable, worthy, and amiable gentlemen.—(Hear.) l)r. LCSIHNOTON said, that a more complete ex- , emplitication of the evil consequences of the two bills which were so hastil y thrust down the throat of the last Parliament coul d not well have occurred. It ap peared here, that a requisition for a meeting of the County of Kent, feigned by four sir live Peers of the realm, and by GO freeholdere of the county; that this requisition was offered, in the usual course, to the cousitirration of the Iligh Sheriff; that the requisi tionists were unable to obtain Isis consent to hold a county meeting, on the ground of their not having obtained the consent of live magistrates of the county of Kent. Perhaps he should be told, that such a meeting could he held if the high sheriff and the ma-. gistrates approved of it. Why, who were these Sheriffs and Magistrates In these days, Sheriffs were appointed hy the Crown. and Magistrates by the saute nomination. .—(-Ifeets, *ewe, from the Treasury ttenches,};-He inaletained it to he a fact, that that was so far dia l case, that this nomination was made use of for poli-' deal purposes; that the Lord-Lieutenant selected for his Magistrates those whose political opinions be thought to be most conformable with hisown.—(Hear.) —Anv Sheriff might now, in despite of any requite& dun. lintrever respectably and numerously signed. by his single "flat" decide, tit it such a meeting sliwnebt. not be held.—(Hear.) ---With an Mom Friend of 'his, who was shortly about to bring the subject under the notice of the House, and an Hon.

Sir CHARLES BURRELL (we believe) differed from the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Dr. "tusking.- ton.) That Lords-Lienteuant were appointed be the Crown, he (Sir C. Burrell) admitted; but were they ant generally men of the highest rank and chancier, and of the politic.Bl opinions not of that aide of the Haw only (Ministerial). hot of the other side also : 110111EKT II Ititf iN wished to snal(e out remark on what hail fallen fr.uu the Hon. member who spoke l that Lurds taLtllt with h fot i t i n in d t, gos• :it•ist virtuous, the i ho st IR; . . . ourable, and the most lignified men in the mot 66 —(Hear. hear.)--But it disl sometimes happen, th, e when these Leordo'Llettlenant, in the independent, dignified, and homourahle discharge of their d m , chanced to exercise their power in a manner slisaerec. able to the Alloisters, though possibly they h a d, 4 .. the useontime, acquired the highest possible bre 6 4 respect *um their follorpritimins ; even that el • stance would not prevent Birk hr;og discarded I I %Iwo Ministers--(Lod chee:ing).-1 mode of 'Nu tilt, totafesomi. that soradias I bad the eff ect 4 tocreasing this respeet end regard, and of exciting 6 ' nentionent very different fur those by whom they w i lt discarded.—.(Cbeers and laughter.) Mr. FYSHE PALMER could not help observi ng, as this subject was before the House, that he bailm ent reason for believing the assertion of the Hai*. Ant i Learned Lientlenian to he but too true. He had ea . dearoured fur some years Fast to get his nanie im er t e j in the commission of the peace for the c.nisty et Wilts; and God knew, without any hope of s o m a . meat : but as he had dwelt spots the bonier*, h e t h o ught it might be a eotivenient matter for himself, and at the same time commoslious for his neighbsins. He knew of no cause to which he could attribute the reran' of his request, except to his "siva political atm. elect and principles.--(Hear, bear.) Mr. C. BURRELL explained. Mr. J. itormtrr felt himself hound to state that be had written to the Olerk of the Lord Ihier t ie ni ,, e F„ t , Wilts, in order to get the mune of his friend put is the roennaission, and to tba4 letter he had *ever reoeimi any answer.—(Hest, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON declared that there slid s oa • - exist a more houourahle man than the Lord lies. teaant of Wiltshire, nor any man legs capable of an. fairly using such aa indorser as that which had hem ascribed to him. Dr. LUSH( NOTON explained. In re;ily to chat an Honourable Baronet hail said, he never meant to affirm that the whole Magistracy of England was pointed for political motives.

After a few words from sir E. KNATCHEICLL, iit Petition was read, and ordered to be printed. CITY OF LIMERICK. Mr. S.

BOROUGH OF BOSSIXEY. Mr. ELLICE presented a Petition from Gißod Forrester, agent to James Webster, the petitioner against the return for flossioey„ praying that the pe tition against the said return be allowed to be MA. .drawn. Theogeosasi apes which ibis petition &AA was, that since the presentation of the former petition against the said election, the petitioner (Webster) had become a bankrupt, mad in such eases, the House was authorised by Sestets to discharge the petit iou. The petition was read. The agent (Gilbert Forrester) was called in and examined °ay the Speaker as to the fact of Webster's bankruptcy, which he stated of his own personal knowledge. Mr. LOCKHART asked his some questions as to whether any proceedings were taken under the Coat mission. We understood the agent to apply in the negative. Mr. LOCKHART asked if notice was given to the parties on the other side of this petition. Mr. ELLICE replied in the affirmative, and said. :.e' understood that no opposition was intended to be given. lie added, that he was himself cognizast of an act of bankruptcy being committed by Webster,as he was himself appointed one of the assignees. The agent withdrew. Leave was given to with draw the original petition, and the order for talciag into consideration was discharged. DISTRESSED STATE OF THE COUNTRY. Mr. HUGI)ALE. rose to present a Petition freed* merchants, inhabitants, and tradesmen of the Imlllef Birmingham. To this important document be *gel to rail the serious attention of the House. It WU ?Met to state that this Petition was agreed upon at a very as. onerous meeting; held in the month of August last; but owing to the different adjournments of the House, there had not been any possibility of presenting it till the pre sent time. The petitioners stated, that on the Mb of 3lay last they did present a petition to the Hon.
