TIIE BR I S 1-1 PRESS. LONDON, WEDNESDAY. Austin 30. 1030. The mode of conducting the cross-examination of the witnesses against the QUEEN at the bar of the House of Lords was again made the subject of a long debate yesterday, when their Lordships thought proper once more to alter their opinions, and to revert to the order of proceeding which had been communicated on Saturday morning to the Counsel for her MAJESTY. It will, no doubt, be deemed somewhat singular that the motion to this effict was made yesterday by the Earl of LITER. Poor. and was strongly supported by the other Ministers of the Crown, with the exception of the LORD CHANCELLOR. It must be recollected that it was Lord Lteatteriot who on Saturday inter rupted the Counsel for the Qcsee when proceed ing to take advantage of their Lordships' order— that on his suggestion the House determined to re view a resolution formed only a few minutes pre viously—that it was by the advice of the same Noble Lord that the House on Monday rescinded this order, and proposed to embarrass still further her MAJESTY'S means of defence, and yet now we find Lord Livxneoot and his colleagues once more ad vising the House to alter their purpose, and to grant to the QUEEN'. Counsel that particular privilege in the mode of conducting the cross-examination which these Noble Lords thought on Saturday and Monday to be pregnant with the most serious evils I We certainly do not disapprove of their having re. tmcted what they on further consideration con ceived to have been an error, but it is to be lament ed that, weighing the importance which they must know to belong to.the expression of their opinions is the House of Lords, the Ministers of the Crown should have undertaken to advise and direct the House without having previously given to the sub. jell the serious attention which it merited. There were three modes of proceeding with re. spelt to the cross-examination of witnesses open to the House. The jirst was by granting a list of the witnesses to the QUEEN, previous to the commence merit of the trill, whereby the Counsel for her MAJESTY would have been prepared to cross examine the witnesses in the usual manner at the close of the direct examination of each respectively, and each witness would then be subject instanter to the re-examination of the Counsel for the KlNG—we beg pardon, we mean the Counsel for the Bill, and to the further examination of the Lords. This was not only the most convenient course to be adopted, but the one most consistent with the ordinary practice of judicial proceedings and the analogy of the law of divorce, but it was fortified even by their Lordships' precedents, for the rule was established with the utmost latitude in the great case of the Duchies of NORFOLK'S Di vorce Bill. The House, however, having declined this obvious course, and sacrificed, as it seems to us, the great ends of substantial justice to a most ill-timed deference to certain inapplicable rules of ordinary criminal procedure, were reduced to • choice of evils, and had to determine whether they should compel the Quexu's Counsel to proceed iii the first instance with the cross-examivation or she witnesses, depending upon chance or inspiration fair a knowledge of their lives, habit', character, stud other circumstances necessary to be known for estimating the validity of their testimony, with • po wet of recalling a witness in case any informs lion respecting him should be obtained; or whe t her tl.ey should petztlit the cross-examination Mimi is te, 1%8 0 kl 1 4 1 4 People lek , tb 6 OtrosnOrittitirliotell .110 41eur er the direct eausiestius, with • poseesi,,f ipestpueeettbe fur• thus cresswesaushsotioo at the divers*. of the Costae! to setae future period. The third mese Woe adopted es Saturday ears ing; the aseoiiii re— beived the approbation of their Lordships on Mon thly ; bet the third m fliallnr established fester. day. with this qualification, that the ATTOIOIIT. GINSIAL should not be cor opelled to close the ease for the Bill until the cross-examination of all the witnesses be terrasinats Id. This woe resolved ' is a division, when there op peered fur the Rm. liaise. HI ; spinst it. ;0.1 It is impossible not to perceive that even this course of proceeding, Athol sgh far preferable to that approved of on Mouday, is beset with many serious inconveniences. By mean aof it, the Counsel upon either side possess the pow er of protracting the trial to an indefinite period, at id thus a dreadful charge might be kept suspended for years over the head of the illustrious Princess accused, without her having the power even of enterir o g upon her defence ; or, on the other hand, the end' s of justice might he defeat. ed by perverting this privilege into • shield for guilt. The Qualm, however, has principally she right to complain, for stam:ing as her MAJESTY does upon the plea of innocence, delay is to her an irreparable injury. for her the uniform principle of justice, recognised by English law, that teary individual must be p—esurned innocent until proved to be guilty, has bee n cruelly reversed, and it has been broadly and bra tally asserted by the agents of the Ministers, that the Queen of ENGLAND is not deserving of public sympathy for her sufferings, and ought to be treatt.d with ignominy and insult until she shall have ref ited every calumny that has been directed against h r honour ! What ! is the first woman in the empire to be put beyond the pale of society, to b..: socially excommunicated solely because it may p lease her enemies, we know not yet upon what authority, excepting that of gon doliers and pot-girls, to charge her with the basest offences ? Would such a sentence before trial be considered jot in ordi sery life, and shall we reverse the maxima of just; :e, generosity, and common sense, because the object cf persecution is that par ticular individual whom the impressions of early education, the prinefles of law, and the nature of our political institut , Jll5 l , require us more especially to love, venerate, an i cherish ? To relieve the House from their emharrseenserits, and the justice of the country from the possibility of unfavourable imputations, Lord ERSKINE once more moved that • list of witnesses should be granted to the Queue; but the Noble and Leartod Lord's motion unfortunately experienced the same fate as it did on a former occasion, being rejected on a divisiou by 164 to 61. The examination of witnesses was then resumed. The chambermaid, limn, was crow-examined by Mr. BROUGHAM, apparently for the purpose of laying a foundation for the future examination of witnesses on the part of the QUEEN to refute her evidence. At porter of an inn at Venice was ex amined, but his testimony di,l not tend to advance the case for the ATTORNEY.-G EN ERA L. The Paris Papers of the 26th arrived at a late hour last night. The Chamber of Peers was to meet on Saturday : eighty members had already arrived in Paris. It is stated under the head of Naples, the 4th instant, that the English General CHURCH, whose conduct tended to exasperate the populace in the late revolution, acted very properly, and that he has friends among his Judges, but that they will not dare to decide against public opinion. He is confined in the Castle of Oeuff, but is allowed to receive visits. Friday being the festival of St. Louis, it was a Bauk holiday; there is therefore uo price of fond• for that day.

Accounts have been received in Edinburgh from a gentle man attached to the Amite land expedition, dated io Jao. last, at which period she party were in comfortable win ter quarters at Cumberland-house. The cold was very se. veer, the thermometer standing at 30° below Zero, but owing to the dryness of the atmosphere it was not so unpleasant as the cold wet weather in England. The rivers and lakes abounded with ash of various kinds, particularly trout of a very large sise, and the hunter brought motive deer and buffaloe from the woods, so that there was no scarcity of provisions at the station they occupied. It was intended to liquored to the northward as soon as the season would per mit, and baring the whole summer before them, they ex pected to make great progress in their journey, but owing to the great distance to the supposed northern shores, it is probable that it would take them the greatest part of next summer to imske any very extelisive ►urvey of the coast ; and that they would have to retire to the southward during the mowing winter, but it was uncertaia where they would take up their quarters, as they could gain nu inlet ligeuce of the country beyond the limits of the fur traders.

Wednesday, St. Jaenea's.square. The private apartments provided for the QUEEN at the Parliament House, consist of two rooms ad• joining Kum's coffee.rooni, and formerly occo. pied by Mr. KEW, of the late firm of BELLAMY and Kim. It is a curious circumstance, that when in the occupation of Mr. liEw, now wine merchant in Parliament-street, they were let for the accommodation of the Managers on HASTINGS'S trial, which lasted seven years. About five o'clock yesterday a crowd was col. lected in the Strand, nearly opposite Courrs's batik, by a sailor with a wooden leg dancing most merrily the Guar°, or Italian Fandango, mention. ed in the charges against the QUEEN. The poor fellow, with jirking his body and snapping his fingers, certainly laboured very hard, and the spec. taws laughed heartily at his expense. The expense of the trial will be 200,0001. at the lowest, besides 50,0001. for the Quatn's expenses. This suns, which is thrown away upon Italians, would endow 50 hospi tals, in England; or it would enable 20,000 of our suffering population to emigrate, and to relieve themselves and the mother country. It would provide 50,000 persons fur a whole year; or, applied to the payment of debts, release OM prison at least 5,000 unfortunate men, who might thus be restored to the pursuits of industry M the bosom of their families. The Italian witnesses in Cotton-yard were last Sunday en gaged iu dancing and singing, with the additional exhilara. tiun of music. The movements of some of them were so grotesque that it was fancied they had got their old com panion 11ItittoweT once more among them, whose pranks furnished such grays matter f.r the Attoruey.Genomi's speech.

BELFAST MEETING. BELFAST, •UQOST 21. On Saturday, pursuant to public notice, a Meet ing was held in the large room of the Commercial Court, formerly the Wellington News-room. for the purpose of addressing her Majesty, but after wards adjourned to the Rev. Mr. Alex:ruder% Meeting-house, on the Lisburn-road, when Mr. Nonfood was called to the Chair. Mr. J. Barnett spoke at considerable length and with great ability, on the subject of the Meeting, taking a review of her Majesty's life, and the suffer inp and persecutions to which she had been sub ject since her illustrious marriage. He distinctly disavowed coming forward on the present occasion to serve any factious purpose, but conceived it pro per and decorous to sympsthise in the misfortunes of their Queen ; for, though Ireland had lost its political importance by the Union, it had still some claims to the reputation of possessing an honest and generous feeling of national gallantry. He con cluded by moving an Address, which was read by Mr. Lawless, and unanimously adopted. It em braces the usual topics. Mr. Lawless then addressed the Meeting. He dwelt on the exertions ►made to degrade her Majes ty—censured the measures pursued by the present Administration, and concluded by moving, that copies of the Address be forwarded by the Chair man to Sir F. Burdett, Mr. Flobhouse. and Alder man Wood, and that these Gentlemen be requested forthwith to present the same to her Majesty.

WhitlA fur the 'tarpon.: The front of the work shop was thrown opeti.' and the fomn next the groond rendered accesiiiihie by a gently slap- ng platform. The seats,. walls, and &tons, were co vered with matting: the centre of this apace was reserved for the Gentlemen who were to cooduift the meeting; the other divisalus carte reierved for the Ladies, with the Iltc.imon of one small sec tion, which was occupied by the Geniletnen of the Press. There was besides flint a gdlery siruilarly prepared, which ran through one side of the court. into which none but females were admitted. The centre of the court, and the shed which faced this proller, were occupied by the parishio ne r s; t h e *romp extending not only to the outer Attar, but it reached entirely across the street. The windows and ridges of the house were also filled with clusters of eager auditors. At one o'clock Sir Gerard Neil, Mr. Peter Moore, Mr. Flume, Mr. Whitbread, Lord E. Fitz gerald, Major Torten, and Mr. Langley, spiivieed in how of the meeting, and being regularly an. flounced by Mr. Haydou— Sir GERARD NOEL loot the Clair. Mr. H•YDOM read the requisition by which the meeting was called, which had beta signed by on wards of SOO respectable parishioners. They had applied to Lord Kenyon, one of the churchwardecs, to preside, but his Lordship declined the request Sir GIRARD NOLL said, that it was nit neces sary for him to explain his nations to them on far object of the Meeting, as be had already made them public by a letter of he which had api eared in the Newspapers. It gave him pleasure to melt so large and respectable an assembly, because the object of their meeting was one in which they s:1 must concur. It was oot soy disputable point id' the Constitution, but to support the general princi ples of that Constitution. as it had been established by King William and the great Whigs of the tires.., who were lovers of liberty, between 1688 and 1694. and to chew that they had no other object in vi e w, their endeavours to support the laws and the cor stitution would be marked by the peaceableness cf their deportment. There was greet pietisme i:i feeling that alley were not only seeking to uphold the laws, but that the party in whose defence they undertook to do this was the Queen of England— (Applanse)—and a relation of the House of Bruns wick, which family had become connected, in their minds, with that great and magnificent event, lie was almost induced to borrow a prayer from the Bishops, 6 , Oh. Lord! we pray thee to save u', especially from ourselves." Ile was for puttinz these words into the mouth of the Secretary id* Staten or rather he would have them use this prayvr themselves—he would have the country to rase itself from the present. Administration. As tr.? Meeting had been for some time assembled, it would be better not to lose mush time before pen. seeding to business. It was likely that they would have frequent opportunities of speaking togt.tlic.r on this subject ; besides, he did not intend to di.. play all his ability at once.—( Laughter.) Mr. Hums had been requested to ptopose the first Resolution, which he did with much pleasure. Having congratulated the Meeting on its numbets and respectability, he declared his entire Cnlll'ilf. Fence in the object of the Meeting. No doubt Col would be charged with acting as a party. He ass proud to call himself, in that ease, a petty titan ; he always would belong to any party acting to the defence of the oppressed. Re. with them, was anxious to support env one borne down, as the Queen wes, by the hand of power. Her crew was novel so far that fur three centuries no inch true.. actions had been heard of in this kingdom. Henry VIII.'s was the sat reign in which any similar prosecution had taken place ; therefore he was extremely sorry to see such a body as the House of Lords, men who from the enlightened age in which they lived ought to be better inform ed and better inclined as to the principles of liberty, he blushed to see these men recurring to the odious, gross, and antiquated oppressions of that barbaroup period, in conducting a prosecution agstrot the Queen of England. He wished not to he crew. dered as giving any opinion of the guilt or inno cence of the Queen at present. Justice, her own character. and the honour of the nation, required sonic mode of trial either to set aside or establish those calumnies with which she had always been persecuted. It would be itni (risible for her Ma jesty to come beck among her subjects and con tentedly to sit under such aspersions, without de manding a trial of some sort.
