r-- - 2 •7 - 1 - thin bad been offered to the exertions of the legal Officers, while they were oondictiog the funeral of the Queen. — (Hear, bear.) • Dr. LUSIIINGTON ebortly explained- Mr. 111101!SE said lie was in hopes the Hone, was not now to be told that those who advocated tie, cause of the Queen were a desperate cabal and radio*. If the words applied to a great majority of the people,' ' they more properly belonged to a few base, designing, nod wicked men, who had indicted the greatest wrongs and injuries ono persecuted female, who was their Mis tress, the wife of their Sovereign. Those were the %you., oilier persecutors; Ore hurried her to her grave; and, after her death, would not allow to be placed se her eoffin that inscription which she had dictated in her last moments. The late Queen was not alone defended by him, or a few persons, but by the great majority of the people of England : and as to what had fallen from a Right Hon. Secretary respecting the populace, be would say, they should not be spoken of in such a way ; for there was no class of his Majesty's subjects, however low their condition might be, who were not entitled to consideration and protection from the Members of that House. Se long as he had a place in that House lie should raise his voice in defence of his countrymen, when they were thus vilified and abased. The Right Hum Gentleman had said that the observations of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume) were only fit fur a tailor to make.—Hear, hear, and laughter.) He could easily et-count for such language as this, coming front a Gen tleman, the novelty of whostaltnation might naturally hurry bins into it. Res dares Regni soeitse. But he cautioned him against attacking his Hee. Friend in fu ture in this way. With respect to what had been said of the Common Council of London, he must observe that that body bad only acted in unison with the rest of the kingdom ; and they had acted in a manner worthy of their great name. As to the Queen having repeated on her death-bed pf the little advantage she had derived from the people of England, lie mast observe, in oppo ,sition to this expression, that she well knew what the people of England had done for her; and it Was stated 'by Lord Liverpool, in-the House of Lords, that the pro secution against her was dropped in compliance with the wishes of the people. But it was not expressed in the Queen's will that her funeral should be private, and when Ministers complied with that wish, why did they not obey the injunction of the Queen as to the inscrip tion on her colon ? No, they only obeyed her last will —it suited their own wishes. While the Queen lived they made use of every opprobrious language towards her, and would not allow any honour to be paid to her, but after she died, they thought it was their duty to take the charge of her funeral, which was not conducted with the leastaprarance Of respect from beginning to end. They employed bodies of troops, although a re spectable lady in attendance on liar Majesty bad begged that no troops might be employed, yet they were most unnecessarily employed ; and he trust observe, that it Was not the guard of honour that was instrumental in shedding blood on the day of the funeral. As to its being said that the people resisted the law on the occa sion, there was no law opposed or broken, except by his Majesty's Government, who, en every occasion, seemed willing to accustom the people to military execution.— Tbia appeared to be the wish of the Government ever 11111 C• the riots is St. George's Fields. He could himself state that there was no disposition to riot on the 14th of August, until the Horse Guards came gallopping through the park with drawn • Asada. Is abort, the Goveirategat. etery occasion, •s• - • 4e4oosi. ,twagged t peeridgal of the hem of hits Mileitts subjects. He ` — derefßiet that be had. heal nothing that could justify the indecent haste with which the funeral had beam conducted. He denied that thanityleaLlasized thogovera meet to have the funeral procession "go outof the way" to gratify them; that body only calculated on its pursuing the direct route. Had they desired that the funeral procession of the Princess Charlotte, which had to pro ceed to Windsor, should pass through the City, then it 'might Lave been said that they requested the corpse to be carried " out of the way." It was the Government, and not the people, that bad desired to drag the Queen's remains through bye ways and indirect roads. Thecon dnct of the people hail been much misrepresented. After the proceeding at Tottenham-court-road, they bad coo ducted themselves in the moat peaceable manner. From the conduct of the military, the people seemed to think —and at tie moment lie was of the same opinion —that - the scenes of Manchester were about to be renewed—that they were to be ridden over and sabred—arid that, in fact, they were to be exposed to military execution. The motion had his approbation. Mr. PEEL, in explanation, said belted not denied that any portion of the populace was a part of the people of England, but he thought the people of England ought not to be identified with the criminal portion of the po pulace. The Hon. Member for Westminster had also im puted to him what might appear a coarse observation, m the point of view is which lie had placed it. He bad not intended to apply ahy ob tion offeosively to the Member for Aberdeen, but be certainly did say, that when the Hon. Member talked of a small saving of black cloth, he seeded to regard the subject with a professional eye.—(.l laugh.) The Marquess of LONDON purr and Mr. Honnooss, mutually explained. Cul. CAVENDISH said, the observation of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen appeared to insinuate that the soldiers had attacked the people. The truth was that they had been attacked by the people in the most out rageous Wanner. By the official returns, it appeared tli it 37 of them hail been wounded ; nine of whom were Lutitittett in the hospital some days, and one of them, whose shoulder blade bad been fractured, had been since discharged in consequence of this injury. The Hon. Member for It esti:Muster had, on a former occa sion, spoken of soldiers as being entitled to the same rights as citizens. He (the Colonel) therefore hoped his Hdo. Friend would not deny their right to use their arms in their own defence.—(tlear, hear.) Sir ISAAt; COFFIN said be thought it was highly discreditable on all occasions to rake up the ashes of the dead. • The Hon. W. LAMB said, be did not exclude any part of the populace from the protection of that house. Ile could not, however, allow those to be called the people of England who oonducted themselves in so outrageous a manner at the Queen's funeral, at the same time he could out approve of the prudence of Ministers in direct ing the mate to be taken. Some gentlemen bad woken as if the death of the Queen bad been occasioneddly the conduct of Ministers. If she felt bitterness of litirit she I 1 . e 'I ~~ ' owed it solely to her cowing to this country. Mr. DBNRAN was happy his Honourable Friend had explained his former observation respecting the people; an observation which he (Mr. y e oman) bad beard with witch pain; fur its tendenct his opinion was to place the people out of the pale of the law. Re specting the late Queen. he could only answer. that' after the transactions at St. Omer's she would have sue. rendered her honour bad she not courted inquiry. But when it was recollected that the most atrocious libels bed been circulated against her; that a Newspaper had been set up expressly to calumniate her, and to threaten females s lib worse than assassination if they visited her. his lion. Friend might not be at a loss to ascertain Hurl of her death. Withteference to the present goes tiou. lie Mimeo nothing could possibly hare been wore provoking than the conduct of Government respecting the funeral. He could see no good reason for opposing the wishes of the people on that occasion ; but the op. position to those wishes was too cousistent with the con- duct which had been shown towards the Queen while living. The violence of a people who were in gen:ral -- - >. .. ":- IVIP! , orderly was, under so much excitement, scarcely Sees torsi. He condemned the conduct of Ministers towards Sir Robert Baker. The first duty of a Magistrate was to preserve the public peace; and In the present io , stance, it was evident that the orders of Government could not h' carried into effect without bloodslytd —But the Government were too prone, on all 'Cc& lions, to employ the military. He was glad, to hear the tone which had been observed from tte other side of the Hooke ; and when he beard It said that there was every desire to thew a becoming - respect ' to her Majesty's memory, and when be heard from the Noble Marquess (though not in strict coeformity with the rules of the House) that liis Majesty had received the intelligence of the Queen's death in a manner which did honour to his feelings, and haul directed ewers ceremo 'nial of respect to be observed on the occasion, be con (rued that he was induced to pause on the language of the present motion. lie thought the general conduct of Government was any thing but honourable to them ; yet after what he had heard, be thought they were cleared from the charge of intentional disrespect to the Queen's memory. The Noble Marquess had much mis taken the disposition of that illustrious woman ; she had been driven to seek from the people that protection, which bad beeo withheld her from that quarter to which , she was entitled to look up for it. Had Milliliters com-' plied with the wishes of the people there was every rea son to suppose (looking to their peaceablesooduct wheal her Majesty went to St. Paul's) that-then would have been no interruption of the public tranclidllity; and he bad to regret that Ministers had caused the hominids, of the present reign to be that which would be the most stigmatised in the annals of English History. The cries of " Question" being now very geberal, strangers were ordered to withdraw, when Mr. BENNET said he should not divide the Howse. The motion was then pet and negatived. Lord STANLEY, alluding.to a report which had ob tained geoeral circulation, wished to ask the Noble Mar quess *bother Government bail any lotted°s to reduce the half-pay of Officers in the Army. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, the Officers in the Army were perfectly safe as far as retarded the intentions of Ministers. The report had probably ori ginated in the motion of the Hosea:able Member for Aberdeen.--(A laugh.) Lord STANLEY said, the Repott bad certainly not originated in any thing done by the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, but lie believed in something said by the Noble Marquess himself ovt of the Hesse. SUPPLY. Lord PALMEItSTON moved the Order of the Day for the house resolving itself into a Committee of Supply. Colonel Davnts, Mr. BERNAL, Mr. HUMS, and other Members, objected to the Motion on account of the late ness of the hour. The SPEAKER then put the citation upon the Order of the Day ; and the Houseib‘pediately divided. who, there appeared—For the blotioo, 1111—. Against It, 211.4 Majority. 88.

Mr. Hume was going oa with his ob jections, when several Mmabps loudly ex claimed Adjourn; he therefore moved im Chairman should report progress and ask leave to sit again. . Lord PALMERSTON said ' be should sot contend against adjournment, but at the .time time he wished to remind theComuiletee of the goou old proverb aedi al tenon portent. After the Hon. Oestlerean jillgone into his statement, it was but fair he cLord Imerston) should be beard. With regard Olathe 7 able of the Guards, the Hon. Gentleman had bees very entertaioing. It was rather tantalising to give such a bill of fare. If the bill of fare should not be so econoinicki as that to which the lion. Member alluded, he would doubtless give the Committee the benefit of his discovery, in the way of reform and retrenchoseut. His Lordship then noticed the several other remarks the Rho. Member bad made. The cry of adjourn was again raised. Colonel HARIHNUE maintained that the allowances for the officerg of the Guards was not too mob. - Colonel DAVIES bore testimony to the accuracy of the statement of the Noble Lord and his Gallant Friend. After a few other observations between Lord Palmer ston. Colonel Davies, Mr. Holalsouse. sod S&L Willa's.' the Chairman reported progress, and obtained lewd to sit again on Friday. The House then adjourned at one o'clock. OLD BAILEY.

This Morning the Court met pursuant* adjournment, when Nightingale, who had given evideace oil the trial above referred to, io the Court of Common and who was out on bail, was called, but not appearing, the Common Serjeant ordered his Rec.ogoisanees to be est reated. John Pay:WY., who was yesterday convicted of wilful and corrupt perjury, was thou put to the• bar to receive judgment, when the Common SIIIKJUNT, having ad dressed him an the nature of his offset.% sentenced bins to be transported for seven years.
