Then Rogow, who took her Majesty from Como across the lake, raw him acid - illy sainting' Bergami four times, a greater number than Demon. nod Majucchi had sworn to, with all the time and means of observation they had enjoyed. He mentioned the names of other persons who had been present at this, and particularly that of P. Maggiore.

Best, in tad, of all tae lawyers in Westminster Hall, he thought that nut a single one could have been selected so hole likely to examine witnesses with any degree of effect— •tvo one whose former practice, habits, and experience, so lit tle.mialitied him to extract the true from the false out of the isruiNtpieed and various depositious of a set of iestsrested, wily rodeigseers, or to deter and prevent subordinate agents from abuses.; the functions intrusted to thews.

It required all the weight of baracter to which certain individuals were so ready to appeal at all times for themselves, and those whom they employed ouster them, to get over the inference which would be made loon it.

When Mr. Powell bad been first exa mined, he told their Lordships that the 'rioting sway Ras trill was his own act ; that be recomartioltd loin to be snot away at the Foreiget dam, which it seemed had received nu antroctious on the suisiect.-- Here Mr. !human, at the suggestion of the Earl of Liver pool, and the priwisaiwi of lire House, conveyed through the Lord Chancellor, retired for some time. The CIMIIMI returned to the House at attests atingle, r d'elock. la akw agnates the Leeds Damao mowed Mho address. the course of his olmeeratioms, It had been his most anxious wish to follow closely sad minatoly the list of chump which had been brought, sad to answer even the most Wog sificant particulars connected with them ; and he was not •ware, on looking hack, of any single point which lw had left untouched, except what had been advanced with sonnet to the representations in the theatre of the Villa irEete. With respect to these represeidations, he would observe, that there was no evidence that they exceeded sine single night. A theatre hail been added to the buildings during the absence of her Itoyal Highness. It bad been given in evi dence that her Repel Highness had peillsenel Columbine in this theatre, while Luigi Bergami sustained the part of Har leeinin. Upon this lee hail only sine observation to make. It 1111041 Ile quite clear to their Lordships that the Harlequin end Colpuhisie of the Italian stage wore totally different characters from those of Drury-lane theatre. The Italian pantomime was • speaking piece. Harlequin was the loser, but the Columbine of the lialien was nut, as in the gross pantomime of the English, the mistress of Harlequin. The impression, therefore, if any sock existed, of b.f. Royal • Hit:hues& hissing been engaged in the performance as the beloved of Luigi Bergami, the Harkquin of the occasion, could only arise from a most unfair and improper transla tion of the circumstance., These facts respecting the Italian pieces were so extremely well know'', that he wad surprised any attempt shesild Live been made to produce the convic tion so obviously caught by representing her Royal High• nets as having performed the part of Columbine is the mere English sense in which that descrittlion might by the ignorant be accepted. Upon the whole of these circumstances, lie would make the same observation to which he had been led before, that however much her Royal Higbuess might he supposed to coudeseend to her inferiors, although she might be charged by some with exercising too much affability and 'candour, too much disposit• to enter into familiar intercourse with those beneath her In station, that she could always du so without is any degree forfeiting that respect, sod deference, and attention, which was not only paid by ell good subjects to their lawful Princes and Princesses, but which miry !villain arid [worst man was ready to observe toall femalsomfall rank,. As lo the Milan Cul:mission, it had been supposed that his l eanerd Friend, Mr. Brougham, had admitted that he could not charge conspiracy against that tribunal ; but his Learn ed Friend's observations, if he remembered rightly, were, that if conspiracy bad existed (which it might be his busi ness at a future period to iuquirr) it would hare all the chn ricteristies observable in the case got up fur the proseeuti aaaa of the Bill by the Milan Commission. They were not bound theoriser to prove a conspiracy. They might have to do so hereafter. Elul if they chewed that there could basso reason. able grounds fur the origin and completion of the case for this prosecution,except the supposition that a con.p.racy had !wen actually produced nod pesfected it, sorely there could be no better gr.-mods laid for the suspicion of conspiracy, especially after such a result as hid followed the exercise of all those means, both of money and intl , and that uncontrolled measure of power under which they were so exercised, enjoyed by the Milan Commissi tttt ers. For low came the witnesses here' Had these apostles of morality set out from their own regions without 'deer, or berme or copper in their pockets, having neither chitties on their back., nor shoes on their feet, out of pure regard fur the welfare of this country—out of tender solicitude for the bottour of the British crown—and from a generous and holy sympathy for the morale of this people—to give evt• deice against the Quern, anti to stop the contagion of le r impure example? Alas! their sympathy fur the morals of the British people ought to have been manifested in another way. Their kisidnees had hal to the must unfortunate effects. In this case the most ordinary acts of life have been vitiated and perverted to the worst and revolting conclusions—the commonest acts and the most usual motives bad been 'tented to filthiness and loath iug, by the harpy touch and breath of these defamers. Supposing the Queen to be guilty of all the offences spinet ;curably with which she had been charged, still there would lurk in the minds of men that desire and disposition to pal liate and find a anuses for impurity, 01 the circumstances which drove the victim within its litre—and this feeling, jest and generous as it would appear to must men, would again react on society, producing the niost unfortunate , impressions 311 to domestic moralby in all ruttier ages. This was the effect must naturally to Ice expected had all the farts beets proved; not that they were proved—not that they had even in part been made out—they would [welters' in rely instance to have resulted from impure motives in the wit nesses, or some secret and wicked suggestions of parties who were nut brought fairly to light. He was proceeding to she. the importance of Rastelli's testimony and agency; in the latter capacity lie was to be claimed with Solecki and others, hie first practices in that line having been upon Be rnoulli. He now resumed the subject, in order to make • few remarks 011 the circumstances of Bedell'', absence. Powell had said, in twee 811 of the printed evidence, that be. had woo Itaetelli away; that he hail recommended him to the Foreign Olfice, read helped to procure his pm...port; and when 1111e1111011eli as 111 the cremate which lie had fur this conduct, lir stated that he considered it decrease, to give comfort to the anxious minds of the relatives of the wit nesses, who bad become exceedingly alarmed, in cotter quenee of the ill-treatment ere the Italians at Dover. If this were the fact, why was Raatclli sent Was he' the only person who could be spared - The answer was, that Rastelli was the most proper proem rm costrey the news, as he had brought the witnesses over, and sous 1110111 likely to be known and believed by their relations. But then they all wrute letters! Were their families suede stickler. fur legal evidence that they could uot, except the hand-writing were sworn to, believe in the reality? How could Rastelli be better qualified fur this office item another mass ? Rastelli himself said in his evi dence, that he only ksiew the witnesses by sight. On another occasion he said he knew sonse of them, and those only by c ttttt ing over with them. It appeared further, that Philip Riptide and three whets (Mr. Denman quoted their Names) were ainewg woo. who came over with Rastelli, who had not beta called :IS witnesses, and were its every way as well 11114• lified to have carried track and Have ifllll9llllllZell the anxious nand' atter relatives as Retell*. The latter was, however, Rill away, and Powell having been examined as to the rea sons % sad sot cro.Lexstreimeste, preteu.led to believe that there was ample tone fur his ft-turn by the 3d October. Thus evidently admitting that lie thought Itastelli's presence as a witness ecesitial ; and then, iii answer to Bus question, if he had reason to expect Rastelli to COMP bark to Euglaml, he said Yrs, he hail , reason to expect his return, because he had gives hint positive direction.' to that effect before he left England. It was worth while to remark how high Me. Powell's contiiituce in Rastelli'e veturn went. It sou to have cured a freer tem which Rastelli was said to have fallen; anal thoseeh Rossetti, acrooling to the information teetered ley ;W.

Raidelli was to have taken up Ills bed and walked, now could Mr. Powell inspect that he would at all huger, I*Ose " had every reason to believe that Rae idle would have reisrensal by the 3el October." It appeared, however, from the coorespondence laud lwfore their Lord ships, that Culeme Brown suspected that Rast• Ili was slotyffing.

He bail heels represented as having said yesterday, that in consequence of the deviation from the path of honour of a gallant officer respecting a certain paper, he was consitned to infamy. Fle repeated it, that Lieut. Flynn hid been betrayed through nervous irritation, in coming before such au assembly. as their Lordships, into a misapprehension. But let that mis apprehension be contrasted with Powell's Immunity, and then let them say if there were not more pnnifit to be drawn of intended falsehood and designing prevarieation from the latter, than any thing which could be found in the thole book of evidence. He wished to remark also on au sager lion made by oar of the Journal., that the witness Mantigni had admitted that she and her linshmed hail been bankrupts, whereas, their Lordship mast have remembered Hot her answer was, " Oh, my God, so! neither I our my husband." It was only necessary to obeeree the week groom emitraslietion and malicious perversion of truth practised by some of those who joined in the unfeeling, oppressive, and rouvrarrantsble injuries of an illustrious and high.minded, though fur the present, unfortunate woman. ••• . . . One of the Peers (we believe the Earl of Darnley) asked what Paper Mr. Denman was speaking of; he replied, The Morning Post. As to the Milan Commission, he would only say, that sup posing it was instituted with the view of making net a case right or wrong, and supposing that in consonance with that object it bad beets determined toget together evidence of any character, amid at any price, white could the requisite air. placation' have been made with such good effect as to the Sacchis, the Rosiellia, and the Majocchis ? What better sunrce of information could they have for such a purpose than to resort to Decnoot, who hail livedseheee,32fgamilli her Royal II mistress ? When those !peat powers mere granted to the Commission, of the appointment a which be yet must complain, they should have been more limit. ed in their operations. As to Rastelli, if troth bad been the object of pursuit to the Commisaion, no instrument could have been more unfit for acquiring it : as, on the other hood, if truth were not their object, and crimination, by • hat ever means proved, was what they sought, then no one could be better modified than Rastelli. Re remarked on the loss which they had sustained by trot bring able to examine Rested' at the moment in which they bad called hint, rather than when he should come back with fresh troops of wit. messes, whom he would also call traitors. And as to pitying , that a liberal allowauce should be made to them to compen sate the loss of that examination, it never could he done—it wan not iu human wisdom to supply the defiriency. Their Lordships could uo more remote that lose than they • could call back past time. %That could their Lordships give them as a set-off? Would they off rto strike out the • substautial part of Rastelli's cynicism., would they ob literate hint from the book? They Majesty's Counsel) did out wish fur that; they had destroyed Rartelli themselves —he was done away. Would they offer to give up Ragas. zioui ? They (the Counsel) did nut want that; he also was done away; with Adam anti Eve and the fig-leaves, be was eotirely gone. Would their Lordships offer them Uggieri with his kisses on the Lake' he and his boat scene were eusirely overet. Maliomet's lastiviutis &Ice hail disap. peered. All wee guar—all was lost. And if their Lord. "baps were really determined to strike out some respect able part of time testimony which remained as an equi valent fur what her Majesty's case had suffered from Itastellia absence, the only difficulty would be where in all the 550 pages of evidence adduced against her, they could point out any put which was nut in part or in whole dune away. He next proceeded to rundueot on the evi dence of Rastelli's agency, in seeking to suborn (be wit wen Pome, on the assurance of Rastelli that Demont had ucepted his term., and " done a good day's work for herself", on the pertinacity of Roadies application, notwithstanding the assertion of Purne that he knew nothing of the Princess but what redounded to her honour. Could their Lordships believe that those solicitations had been accompanied with the same success on every other iou Was it out probable that the inducement, thus • held out had produced the • videnre of the boatman, of Ragazzioui, and of others, who hail been entirely disproved in all the circumstances of their testimony ? With all the manifold operations which had brio laid before their Lo r d. ships, and with the assist ince of the power and influence of the Austrian Goveriament, he contended that it was impos sible but that every individual in those parts must have felt a conviction that fortunes were to be made by those who would give firstborn's , against her Majesty. Rut was it not sus prising that they (her Majesty's Counsel) should have hero able to meet and disprove so mtirh with an missy disadvantages se they had to labour under Celli had been spirited away while Riganti was left behind, and his Learned Friend.' dared not to call either le disprove Point., as to the solicitati which were made to Pome to give evidence of Bergami halving put his baud up the clothes of her Royal Highuess while placing he r on the hack of as s ass. This was a fact of imp°, sauce, b cause their Lord ships would see that Majocchi hail sworn that Bergami was embraced by the Prowess at Genoa, while, in reality, it was plowed that Bergsma was placing her Royal High ness on the back of an ass which she was about to ride. This was the general character of the evidence; falsehood was patched upon truth, and the most hateful ami d foul ad ditions made to what was in itself harmless. Riganti was still in this country, though Roulet' wassent away. Riganti might be called to couttadics Prime, but had 4111, thing like this bests attempted? only one *hurts (Capt Briggs) had been called to contradict the defence, and on hi, 'videos* he (Mr. Denman) would observe by and by. He would pro ceed to remark cm the evidence of Autnati. Exceptions might be lakes. to his character; but with reaped to the Queen's rase, Auteuil'', evidence was purity itself. He bad done her a grievous wrung, and he had repented of it and confessed his guilt. Well would it have been fir the Throne and the country bail others imitated his ex ample, and saved their Lordships that harlotry.
