This was what the Noble Earl (Liverpool) called the equal balance in which they were, to suspend she difficsilto• of this case, that is, to bear all Ilse evidence out one side, to hear a rummest us that evi dence, and !leen, when the impression was 'mooed up to the highest p silt of effect, this was to be aworidered as the proper moment to suspend their proceedinge!—(llear.)—e The Nehle Earl (Liverpool) would admit, that all the eat. deuce fur the Bill, wills the comment on it, should go forth to the wort .1 r. hest we case could, in his opinion, Nand wader a comment not spun oath. What most be his opinion of that ease which could suit stand, if attacked by only one day's comment of the learned Counsel? Hia Lordship said, Ire weld now shortly stale what was the real balance of incon. reamer in • the case.

The Loots CHANCELLOR Rod the other Noble Lords who opposed the proposition, admitted that even their Lordship.., her MaJialry's sworn judges, who are bound by every sensor of duty undid* honour to keep their judgments free from every impression nod the whole case be fully and fairly laid before them, must or necessity within the cotter? of two months, should the proceeding be so lors, suspended, have their minds influenced in some degree by the ci:se for the prosecution, sod that the public not guarding' their minds with the same precautions, must feel this influence more sensibly. Such brio's the opinions of the Noble Lords, woo which we shall not now quarrel, they must neces sarily admit that the QUEEN is thereby exposed to a greet hardship from which the Douse might re lieve her. But these Noble Lords advise the House itok so to relieve her MaJrrev, because, in the first place, the mode of proceeding so:Neste:l by the Counsel for her MAJESTY is not worrsiiteh by any precedent (we should like to know where the precedent was found for all that has hitherto been done); secondly, because it is possible that 'the Counorl might make a statement which thry could not afterwards support ; and thirdly, because the statement of the Counsel must of isece►situ make an impression in favour of the QUEEN. The high character and professional reputation of the Counsel for the QUEEN, with a sense of what is due to their Illustrious Client'a safety. would prevent them from making a statement which they did not conceive themselves fully able to substantiate, and if it were necessary. on adjournicr4 the proceedings, that a strong im pression of some kind should be left upon the mind of the House and the public, this advantage might to be conceded rather to the Defendant than to the Prosecutors. II must never be forgotten that the necessity of this adjournment, or the hardship which the QuFFN must sutler if she be compelled prematurely to enter upon her defence, arises altogether limn the mode of proceeding adopted by the House itself. when their Lordships were unhappily dissuaded from granting a list of the witnesses to her MA JESTY. If the Lords, therefore, now find themselves embarrassed, they must attribute the difficulty to themselves only, and they ought, for the same eon sidetation, to extend every indulgence mottle Quite% con , isteut with the eternal principles of asters! justice.

I;ItITISIi Pit ESS. LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, iseo. The House of Lords were occupied during the whole of yesterday in dismissing certain proposals subinittecl to theist by Mr. BROUGHAM. respecting the mode of conducting the QUEEN'S defence. The first proposition was, that the Counsel for her MA JZSTY might be permitted to open their case, reserv ing to themselves the option subsequently either of examining all or any number of their witnesses whom they might have in readiness, or of postponing the whole or any part of their testimony until such pe riod as to the House, on the suggestion of her MA.. JESTY'S Counsel, might seem.proper. Tins request was. after a long and animated discussion. refused by a majority of 105—those who supported it b-ing 6u, while those who opposed it were 165.. The C set fur the QUEEN were then informed . that they might. if they thought proper. enter immedi ately upon the defence, but that the hearing of evi dence insist immediately succeed the opening state ment. Mr. BROUGHAM then requested that, post poning his statement for the ilefersce to some future period, at their Lordships' discretion, lie might now be permitted, for the purpose of correcting in some degree the impression which the MSC fur the prose cution might be supposed to eteate, to comment upon the evidence which bad been {widowed ; but this was refused by. a still greater majority—those who supported die proposition tieing only 49, while those who opposed it were 170.
