Had that been kauwe to them it could not have damaged the case of the Prosecutor; but if the •nferemal had been given, they might have learnt some thing to serve the Queen and dawseify the wither, and thereby to serve, if not sere, she realm of Earlesed. Bet Do, there be stood like a post, beim' examined through the medium of an Interpreter; all their questions emilerdneoel end digested, and on the crosa.examination, no doubt be lied evaded himself of that most comfortable and move ideal delay. So was the posseiretivio conducted, and it was singular that there also, if it was inadvertence, it was still aggieat the Oilmen.

It might have bee' surmised that this witness would not have beets in an indifferent state of mind in respect to the Government 110 throne hand, said her Majesty on the ollwr. if that too was inadvertenee, it west singular circumstance out of five instances that they sheed4 ell bear the same way— against her Majesty. The chances were much against such a cumbioatien. It was all odd east of the die. In the ole serrations which he should make on the Solicitor-Greenery comments on the slate of her Majesty's dress, when she changed it to assume that of the Genius of Nights y, he would refer to the short-hand writer's notes, in order not to misrepresent him, end to chew how irojeriously for her Ma jesty the case had been desk with in the summing up. His Learned Fricitil said, " Her Royal Higher*, returned fur the purpose of charging her dress entirely;" thus not in the least sinking, but referring to she examinatioes suchief. "The chambermaid was in the anicrouns, and theconrier was in. traduced auto the bet-room, where hr remained dueler the whole time she was changing het dress." Strung uhmervaiium! Powerful commentary. !—More particularly as the case, in the SolictorOeneral's opinion, was such as In compel him to tax his imagination, to guess whet possible defence could be suede against it. It was therefore rather too much to say that the elhouge of dress was in abed-room. It was from the legion:lig to the fuel ao onfonudeil assemplimi ; without proof already ; but it should he demonstrated to be untrue, with 311 its pas ticolars, from first to last.— Mimi the witness wished their Lordships to understand that the change of dress was entire, it was to deeeive their Lord ships, and to abase her beoefactress and eltistrets. He had out yet done with the Solicitor G l's summing up. He says, " They were lucked up for hours together in a bed room." Gratuitous again—another draft on his imagination ! lei sine short sentence two visitor bet unsupported assertions against her Majesty. He had selected these as specimens only, for his strength would fail even if their Lurdehips' pa. tierce should hold out, if he attempted to enumerate then, all. Ile had selected them (with deference he spoke ii) as • sort °fele, or guide fir their Lordships' examination of the rest of the case. He came next to the consideration as opened, and as it appeared in evidence. He had already alluded to one difference, he meant the dress of her Majesty iu the Genius of History, end with no invidious intention tipsiest his Learned Friend did he now sieve In it. He hail, iso doubt, drawn his inferences from his documents, and therefore it was the more important for him to point out where they were false. The Attorney General hot stated, that the drew of the Queen la the Genies of History was most indecent and revolting. He had examined his witness with referegne to the nature of that dress, and us the cross. examination he (Mr. Witliansg) had, without information, for of that, by their Lordslnps' decision (uf whirls he was out then complaining) they were deprived, he only mention ed it to induce their lordships 111 be vigilant at last as they limited been indulgent at first. So it was upon no iliforma lien, but believing it to be impossible that where the first per. oche in Naples were present, any one could have appeared ie an indecent dress, Ise had coos-examined to that point, mid the alteration had entirely failed. The thiliritor.Gerterst, in Iris summing up, had rebuked hide fur speaking of the in spection of the Neapolitan Court, as if it had no bearing cis the ease, and he hail then totally abandoned the point. But slid nut their Lordships believe his Learned Friend had read the depositions ? Had Dement stated the fact, aye or no ? He was sure she had. The Atturney.Genentl, Ise was sere, had it in hie instructions, because he load said that he should state molten bet what he had evidence to substantiate. Me ('Mr. Williams) therefore inferred, that Uremia, in the story she hail told at Milan, had spoken falsely ; and where ouch great interests were at make—nut only the existeuce of hie Royal Mistress, hot the Ayr. sy of the country—each talgehouile were most wicked and abominable. His Learned Friswd bait opened, that the Queen was exploded from the Theatre Sun Carlos by the holecent nature of her dress.— But if their Lordship. would turn to page '256 of the piloted evidence, they would find she was asked, " Wier there ao? thing particular In the dress of her Royal Highness ?" —" Her stress sus ugly—monstrous 7." and there it eisded.— Bet how had she lamed it to the Nihon COlllllllllllll/0 Had she not said that the Que.is had excited the Indignation of the St.Caelos audience sod was hissed? If she had nut so stated it, the Rowel too in the °pmts.% speech was en iojerioise and unfounded statement stalest her Majesty.

It was not ertraiderful that Itisjocxhi's memory should Dot retain every thing; best that It should remem ber on sight, that was en 10111011111 ass inaptesible memory.

When questioned as to what she meant by she capital of 'Europe, she pro trowel sot to kisow whether or not she went the obscure place is Switzerland, where he wished it had pleased God, in Isis mercy to this great kingdom, always to have coalitsed her. Though in the space a ten lines she hail named Loarlon, she bad still left it in doubt whether she meant by the capital of Europe—what !—Gurl nut !—Columbier, forsooth ! and shat notwithstooding the prospect held out to her of " high pro. tectiusi sad a brilliant fortune!" Al page 377 of the print. ed tabours, the last reference wills which be should trouble their Lordships, they would find her trying what she could do in 'be way of panegyric, and the object she selected was our gracious Queen:— " AA! why wits not the spirit of her Royat Highness at my side?

Did this honest waiting-wuman write this under cipher, or did sloe not? " How often, in a numerous circle, have I with enthu siasm enumerated her great qualities, her rare talents, her rasililuess, her patience, her charity; in abort, all the per fections which she possesses in so eminent a degree ! Hew often have I seem my hearers affected, and beard them ex claim, that the world is noijast, in cause so much unhappi ness to one who deserves it so little,and who is so worthy of being happy !" Aud slow again he would ask their Lordships, was this meant as a fraud upon such a being as this same Demised had attempted to prove her by her evidence? or, was the object of this panegyric unworthy of such praise ? Had she been no where else spoken of its terns of commeudation ? He thought he had heard it and somewhere, and that too by penes who ranked deservedly among the highest ilt every accomplishment which spoke the scholar sod the gnu- Hessian—one whose judgment in these matters was not to be lightly questioned—that " she was formed to be the life sod grate and ornament of every society iu which she moved." Was that tun spokes, in jest, or without nieasieng:' Was that lux a joke, or a double entendre ? He believed uo man would doubt iis sincern y; and he tousled, that if woe so highly gifted—if one who is howiself united so triply accomplish- ments—if one whose penetration was nut easily learned, and whose upsilons were out lightly formed, could have used such !amputee to give utterance to his cusNretlan of the exalted merits of the illustrious object of his praise— he trusted it was out assuming too much to suppose, that the same illostrions person may hive been deemed deserving of the encomium of this inferior C0Mp411 , 16011. Next to the emlogiiiin of that highly.secomplished individual to whom he bad alluded, he exude] have asked, he could have wished, for tau higher praise of the Queen, thsu that which was con veyed in these lines of this perdu, written, as be Slimly be livved, and as she hail herself indeed acknowledged, in very sincerity awl fulness of heart, and not so cajole or get she better of a weak avid wicked wonsso. But lie would ant waste more of their Lordships' time in these vague gentralnies; he would now come to the more particular points of this important case. He would give every coedit to his Learued Friends on the other side for sin. eerily in all that they hail professed of she just and honourable naive, of their isitentions; he was happy to add the bumble mite of his testimony to their high elm. racier. His Leaned Fsiend, the Solicitor General, in his summing up, bad insole use of the following expressions, which, to gnatd himself against the danger of misquoting biro, he would read from the report of a short hand write' The moment my Learned Friend, the Attorney- General, received instructions fraim your Loariships to lay haute your Lordships 11w evidzuce its support of the charges cumlained it, ibis Bill, he, in conjunction with myself anal sly frieods putout me, directed mir most anxious atten tion is the collecting of all the evidence that was to be adduced iu support of those charges.

His Lesrued Frieuit then proceeded to poUI.IOIIIICe a rather flattering panegyric on hinurlfauil those with whom he co-operated, in which, sough perhaps it might have pi weed. d with a better grace fit/M.4MR' other source, he (Mr. W) must heartily joined. But Le begged tiieir Lordships' insist atriums •iirlli 44444 Ita she wutd• be had quoted. This he would say was the Annum of the Qiseeses case; this was indeed her case, " stoat whatever evidence bore upon the case, el thee for or against it, and the y had all the •'ideal:, in their own power, should be produced." Nu doubt it bad been produced, and yet no Case hail been made out. But, scarce had his well-satisfied ears received that di clam. titan, and his memory treasuied it up, than lie hard from the very same lips, lour direct challenges to her Majesty's Coun sel, given piecisely in the time of the Counsel in a Nisi Prins action for a debt of 1110/—to produce certain nit- mimeo, Luigi Bergson', Bartholomew rgeani, soil others whom he iiitaied. „here was MGM the wisdom of his I emu ed Frieild, which be had so lately jollied iu eulogising?

It was a trick of the lowest practice. mean sad unworthy of ibises'', degriulsog to those who used it, and insulting to the dignity of their Lordships. Frequent reference had been made by the other side to a forced analogy, which it was attempted to draw between the forms of procedure in common crimisal cases before the ordinary *ribose,. of the country, mad this pro. ceediug by a Bill of Pains and Penalties. Bet it was a monstrous, a sliamelees analogy. In ordinary eases there was • clearly defined oases against some 11 " 0 " 1 " 4 " P"i" live law which decreed a proportionate penalty. The crime was law was ft M—the rules of proceeding were fixed; all was clear and defined. But here their Loedshipo sat in • legislative as well as • judicial capacity; they were called on to pronounce that an offence which was previously cognizable by no law; and having created the cram*, they were to visit it with their judgment. In such • case it was clear that so analogy would hold, and their forma of pro ceeding must necessarily be at variance with the usages of alt other Courts. Protesting as earnestly as lay in his power, as zealously, though far leap forcibly than his Learn ed Friesd who had gone before him, against this challeisge to pruduce those witsesses, he would again declare that their nut being called for the prosecution slid of itself establish the Queened case. Yet, in a question of Ibis magnitude, in. railving iutereata of too high, too mighty inuntent, to let any thing be wanting, witnesses should be bad, 'vitreous would be called before their Lordships. The Earl of Lauderdale now suggested, that as the Learned Counsel appeared not likely to bring his observations to • close within the specified time of their lorilakips' sitting, the House had better adjourn. This being agreed to, their Lordships adjourned a few minutes before four o'clock. • . , • -L.. '. . THE BRATiSii PRESS. LON DON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1840. Mr. BROUGHAM yesterday concluded his able and ingenious comment upon the evidence adduced at the bar of the House of Lords, to support the allegations contained in the preamble of the Bill of Prins and Penalties, and was followed by Mr. WILLIAMS, who undertook to pursue the course over which Mr. Baoua R•M had passed with such distisigui•lied success. Mr. Wfwasts had not concluded his address when the hour arrived for the adjournment of the House, so that the Learned Counsel will have to resume his observations this morning. Mr. BROUGHAM, it will be observed, has con. fined himself exclusively to commenting upon the mariner in which the present prosecution has beep prepared, upon the character of the witnesses, the nature of their testimony, the interiml traces of perjury it exhibited, its contrarieties, and the utter impossibility of the charges urged against the QUEEN having- been founded in truth. Tbe so lemn stillness that reigned in the House of Lords during the long period of Mr. BROUGHAM'S ad. dress, the anxious attention with which it was re. ceived, indicated the powerful impression it made upon the minds of the Noble and Learned Judges. On the literary excellence of the speech we shall offer no remark, for this was no occasion for an idle display of rhetorical skill, in which the interests of the party and of justice were to be esteemed u secondary to the ambition or vanity of the speaker. Mr. BaOUGHAM treated the subject with equal prudence and uhility ; and while his speech gave evidence, in every sentence, of a d richly stored with classic treasures. modern and ancient, he placed the assunince of his Illustrious Client's in nocence upon a basis so strictly intellectual, that it would argue a deficiency in the reasoning powers of the individual who could question the correct. ness of his conclusion. The contrarieties which he has sheen, in the several statements of the most ill)* portunt witnesses, upon points too of primary mo ment, are of themselves sufficient to brand them with perjury in these particular instances; and it is a rule adopted in our Courts, drawn from the eassision sense of mankind, that if the falsehood of a witness be made apparent in any one instance, SD reliance eau be reposed on his depositions in any other. Thus he she's MAJOCCIII false, DE taortT false, DIROLLO filar, and Ssccut false; and as with these witnesses the prosecution has risen, so it must perish iu their disgrace. But toot even to these internal evidences of the perjury of the;e witnesses clues Mr. BROUGHAM confide for overthrowing the prosecution ; he has apprised the House of Lords that bewail prove the perjury alleged by such witnesses as must command the confidence of their Lordships, and lie has held out a threat with respect to one of the witnesses fur the Bill, the cook Diaou.o, which we hope sincerely he will carry into effect. This fellow he bus threatened to prosecute for lie gross perjury, and it would seem that others of the Italian gentry who have figured at the bar of the House of Lords. have been saved front exchanging this scene of their appear. at for one kss dignified at the bar of the Old B a il ey, so l e l y b y th e i r wore judicious exercise of their surprising faculty of forgetting. We cannot believe that them is is England a atm whose mid NboplAtifilieffpri to ►seeise the 'truth, who, however h• eult`she bee• previews', . _ impressed with a notion tbi* fibs `witnesses whist the Qualm were deserving of credence. does not Dow, after having read MG Piot/totals'? speech. feel that the charge/ tired anis* her MaJesnr have boos very considerably shaken.

Irony even to the evidence of the senses. Foe this reason we do not expect that the Ministerial Paperandl have candour 'slough to admit the over• throw of the pro...coition ; but if Mr. Baouonates witt►etsss shall prove •hat he Ism promised, we shall claim it from her Maierre's enemies as a matter of right that they do not suffer themselves by any mranr, direct or Implied. to cast • centers upon her MAJESTY, or appear to attach cred►t to calumnies which had rested solely upon the evidence of persous publicly and solemnly *hewn to have been usiwosthy of belief. Let it be ever remembered that her MAJESTY is the accused party, and that if her enemies do not prove their charges, she must, in law, in reason, and in common justice. be considered as innocent. Their failure places the accused in the same situation as if the charge had never been brought, and how can a charge be •►ore effectually and satisfactorily repelled than by proving pe►jury in the witnesses who have been brought forward to support it ? Mr. BROUGRAN, at the close of his •perch, took occasion to remove the erroneous impression that too generally prevailed in this couu•ry respect. iug the law birth and mean fortunes of BERGANt, and the infereoce thence derived that hi. elegance* was to be attributed to the criminal attachment of the QUEEN. HEIMAN' is, it seem., a Gentleman by birth. His father was possessed of landed pro perty, which conferred upon time holder a title of nobility, but having by his extravagance involved his property is embarrassment., his son BEE OASII sold the remains of if, for the pious purpose of paying his father's debts. While in General Places service, BERCIAMI dined habitually at the table of the General, who was at the time the Commander-in-Chief of a district ; and when he entered into the service of the Mincers of '''ALES, it was with the usiderstiosiling that he was to be promoted to • situation of rank m►d confidence upon the first opportunity. This stotemeut re quires no comment. The PitrirPapers of Sunday last mit principally occupied with altmtatious draws from official sources respectiag the birth of Ilia young Priam, and with recounting the eimgro. Watkins received from various quarters by lIMI Royal Fa. wily upon this happy event. The bulletins of the medical attendants represent the Duchess of Bastaw sod her infant as haus in a very favourable state. The KING, to testify his joy at the birth of a Prince, has distributed amatrona decorations and orders of knighthood. A proposition bar been presented to the Cortes of Spain which is likely to receive their approbation.

A general Meeting of the Calliholscs of the Metre.. polio rod its vicinity was held list night, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Shifted. At half-past seven o'clock the Rev. Rictiaao HAY took the Chair. There were abuut two hun dred persons present. The Rev. Gentleman stated he was rejoiced to see so respectable a meeting ; it was a glorious d..y for the Catholics, as it would redeem them front the calunimes that had been poured on them, by setting forth they would give up their loyalty to their legal Queen for the mite of any advantage it was suppowd they might derive from the Adminis tration of her legal husband. They suet to ad dress a most Minted woman, who had been drivels from her home with her infant in her arms, whose father died ii, beide, and whose brother lost his life at Waterloo. They met fur the 'purpose of addressing this disconsolate Mother—this 'ouch injured Queen. He rejoiced that he hail the houtrur of presiding over a meeting to condole with so mach injured virtue. Matrimony was the first of the divine institutions of the Omnipotent for the regu lation of society, and his vengeance had alw a vg fallen on those who had broken its laws. The Rev. Gentleman, to prove this, wait at considerable length ions the Scripture. It could not be now charged, that the Catholics were not the friends of liberty and justice. The Spaniards have nobly proved that Caiholies were the friends of constitu tional liberty. England. who was extolled through out the woad fur her liberty. for her strict jus tice and mercy to her subjects, was uow, for the first time, to be considered as isaiitiug these fine characters. He begged their pardon, he mistook, it was not the first nine, fur in the reign of Henry VIII. lie got rid of his wife. Qum, Katharine of Arragon, :tad the famous case of fling Oates, which was brought up by the infamuus Shaftesbury against the Queen.. becalm she way a Catholic; but Charles 11. had feelings sufficieur not to allow his wife to suffer. Catholics had a right to come forward Me the present occasion, far they were told that the lethal' witnesses against her Majesty v:ere Catholics ; but this he km vs. if they were Catholics, that they never nail attended to tbe duties of their Church. He would ask, were the Douglas's, who were the .peijurid witnesses against her Majesty in 1806, Catholics ? He had beets two years in Italy, and at Rome twice, when her Majesty visited that city, and he knew front his own knowledge, that the first question she asked on entering it was, what purr persons wanted Itir assistance, that she might unosteutatiously open her purse to them. He had heard of these rumours, of the charges now preferred against her, but he had always traced them to English growth, which was proved by the witnesses bring transplanted to Cotton-garden, to leer, the nurture of his Ma jesty's Attorney-General's wuteriiig-pot. They. as Catholiet, were sworn to support the Crown, and to pray fur the Queen ; but according to the new te n et s of the Established Church, thee were desired out to pray for their legal Queen. tie trusted that the meeting felt with him. that Catholic Ernancipatiou, granted to them as a body, without the liberty &WU privileges of the other parts of the coninauttit3i, was not a boon worth accepting of. Withusit that necessary reform in the Commons House of Parliament should take place, that would nudist every man free by giving him a voice in it. the Ca tholics did not crave Emancipation. A string of Resolutions were them moved by Mr. Domes and seconded by Mr. J. A. MuItPHY. The first congratulating her Majesty on her returti to the country, and condoling with her ou the lois ehe. sustained by the death of her daughter the Princ e ss Charlotte, and of her veuerable lather the late King ; secondly, as men acid British subjects, they viewed with disgust the present conspiracy against her Majesty's enaructer, digiiity, rod legal righta ; thirdly, they congratulated her on the complete failure of the ease against her. There were foui teen Resolutions in all, sonic of which were moved by Mr. Creevey, Mr. J. Murphy, Mr. Nl'Donald, arid Mr. Roach, which were carried unanimously ; after which a vote of thanks was carried to Alderman Wood, fur his geoeral public conduct ; and to the Rev.
