This evening the question relative to the de sired production of the names of the witnesses against the Queen, will be formally discussed in the House of Lords. Having already pretty fully expressed our opinion upon this subject, we deem it unnecessary to offer any thing further at present. Their Lordships will pro bably be inclined to agree with us, not only with respect to the inexpediency of such a production upon the principle of substantial justice, but also in regard to the probable consequences of so indis -creet and unnecessary a disclosure at the present moment. The treatment experienced by the poor fo reigners at Dover will doubtless serve as h warning of what would happen if the names and residences of witnesses in this country should be discovered. We are anxious to avoid the necessity of em plOying force for the protection of persons sum moned to forward the due ends of justice ; unlike some of our patriotic and liberal cotemporaries, who express their surprise that Government should not employ the military .as well as civil 1 power tosprotect the Italian witnesses, instead of sending them to Holland for personal safety ! According to the consistent logic of these Gen tlemen, we ought now (regardless of the odium which they would not fail to heap upon such line of conduct) to protect by military force, those cc wretches" (as they denominated them in the first instance) whom on their landing they'openly proscribed, and pointed at, to the savage mob, as proper objects of the most sanguinary vengeance. [Morning Chronicle.] The consideration of the manner-in which Ministers h - ave proteeded from the 'lwo - inning towards the. Queen, is sufficient to shew that al though she may_ demand justice, she must not expect favour. But they say, when they re fuse what we are apt to call justice in a - homely way, that they must be guided by precedent, and that they cannot, .though with great sor row, comply with her requeSt as to being furnished with a list of witnesses and copies of the depositions, because it is without precedent. Yet it is at least a very curious if not a- suspicious circumstance, that when they feel themselves obliged, as they admit, by the necessity of the case, to depart from pre cedent, it is always, by some accident, against the Queen s yet when they stick to it, and starchly, it is likewise always against her—a cu rious'coincidence, at least in the fate of this un protected Lady. But let us examine this ques tion a little further. We suppose that they could find no precedent for the. Milan Commission, and therefore they made one with .a decision and a boldness that if responsibility be ;itit-4.;cousti tutional word, it must be a fearful' , But here again we see how this precedent of the Milan Commission operates to the prejudice of the Queen ; had she been a common subject, and Mr. Cook a common police Magistrate, or 'an active country Justice, she would have been summoned, as in a criminal case, on a warrant, and would have seen the person who made the charges, and have had some idea of the evidence to be brought against her before she was committed. In the Queen's case the charge is made before the Milan Commissioner Without notice to the opposite party, and ' the Queen, or at least her character, is committed to the, custody of the Green-bag, and then the evidence is sent to the Grand Jury of the House of Lords as if from a previous hearing of the parties. But even here .the precedent fails them. The Grand Jury is not content with the written 'depositions of witnesses taken by the Magistrate, in the presence of the accused party, but they have the witnesses brought before them, that they may see their faces, andexamine them viva voce. [Morning Herald.] In the House of Peers, last night, Lord Ellen borough moved the second reading of the Bill to amend the Marriage 'Act of the 26th Geo. H. His Lordship entered into some detail of cases, showing the hardship and cruelty of the law as it at present stands in its possible consequences, and as it affects the laws of property, the honour of females, the rights of children, and the inte rests of morality and, religion. The Lord Chan cellor opposed the Bill, on the grounds of the lateness of the period at which it was introduced, and it! affecting the rights•of third persons, as well as having a retrospective operation. -Some further discussion foliowed, and a division took place, when there appeared for the second read ing of the Bill 32, against it 9.6, consequently the motion was carried contrary to the expressed opinion of the Lord Chancellor, by a majority of 6. Scarcely a day has passed for some time that the Queen's case has not been agitated, re gularly or incidentally, in either House, until yesterday. This day Lord Erskine's motion, for furnishing a list of witnesses against the Queen to her Counsel, will be discussed in the House of Lords---it will, probably, be the last discussion on the subject until the 17th of August. [As we cannot more effectually expose the vul gar malignity of The Old Time s th an by quoting its own productions we this day insert the-infa- mons attack upon the VICE-CHANCY:LT.On, *hose character we respect from personal knowledge, which appeared in that apostate Paper on Wed nesday last, particularly as it affords an opportu nity of refuting its falsehood by the subjoined article, taken from The New Times of this day.] " We have before expressed our astonishment at that pact of the preamble of the Bill against the Queen which reflects upon Bergami's humble situation on his first entering her Majesty's service. It is not, surely, of itself a crime in her Majesty to elevate or prOmote an active, faithful, honest servant ; neither is it an offene J e in Bergami to have been orginally in a menial situation. But if it was meant to be iferred that a wan could not he the object of so extensive a promotion except o►l account of improper familiarities, the history of that very person who is supposed to have advised the Milan Commission, and who stood so high in the confidence of the King, would of itself falsify the sug gestion. His birth and situation in life were originally more-lsumble than tho s e of Bergarni, and yet his rise throws no imputation upon those who advanced him. The person of whom we speak originally swept the door before the house of sir Robert Taylor, the fathvof the present Mr. Michael A.. Taylor his behaviour was inch as to induce his master to promote him, and he made him a Poll•clerk at an clec7 lion : about this time be attracted the notice of Mr. Grab, as, the futUre Judge, who assisted him, and recommended him to apply to legal study : his activity and intelligence, in this and similar occupations, still • pressed him up into higher stations, till he became what we now see him.— The rreamble of the Bill, if it meant to afiix Bergami's a dvancement. to the Queen, or • even to himself, as a trnne,• should have stated not only the advancement, but the unworthiness of the person advanced; and from such an allegation secret or suspicious services might have been inferred ; but the mere facts that he was once a Menial ser vant, and is now the Queen's Chamberlain, decorated by Fo reign Courts with certain of their Orders, prove nothing; and it was an invidious course of proceeding to mention them. The disgrace, therefore, which was meant to result, has justly fallen upon the heads of those who brought the story forward. Berganti s talents and industry would have entitled him to the same promotion in the service of any discerning Prince in Europe."—(T/se Old Times, July 12.) [Nerio Tunes.] We regret to notice the scandalous abuse of a high legal character in a certain shameless Print. The Journal in question asserted on Wednesday that the birth and situation in life of the Vice Chancellor of England " were originally more humble than those of Bergami," and that the Vice Chancellor was originally in a menial situa tion, and swept the door before the house of the late Sir Robert Taylor. Yesterday the Journa list was forced to eatlis words, and to insert a. totally different account ; and yet, after all, he, concluded with his usual apology for falsehood, viz. that " the first statement-came from a' person of undoubted veracity" ! ! !—lt is proper that we should look a little closer into the misrepresenta tions of this malevolent writer. Sir JOhn Leach has elevated himself in life by the acquisitioh and display of superior abilities in a profession ho nourable to hirriself and beneficial to so ciety. His father, who certainly kept a shop in a provincial town, carried on an extensive business there, was a person of great respecta bility, and displayed at once his judgment and liberality In . giving this son an education to fit him fOr sustaining the character of a Gentleman. The son was placed' as a pupil with that eminent ArChitect the late Sir Robert Taylor ; but hav ing had occasion several times to visit Mr. (after wards Sir Arthur) Pigott, the latter observed the bent of his young friend's genius to lie strongly toward the study of the law, and therefore advised hint to embrace it as a profession. The wisdom of this advice was soon evinced in the distinguished figure Which Mr. Leach made at the, Bar. lie rose gradually in his profession ; he entered into the House of Commons, where he distinguished him self on several occasions, as a clear and codVincing speaker ; and when he was at length placed in the eminent judicial situation which he now fills, public opinion distinctly approved the fitness of the appointment. Such was the mode by which Sir John Leach elevated himself in life, and it is the proudest boast of our free Constitu tion,- that it affords facilities for - these honour able exertions, and opens to them the highest rewards. It is with extreme pain and disgust that we turn to the other side of the contrast, but we are compelled to do so, in order to cor rect the wilful mis-statements of her Majesty's pretended friends, and to shew the indignity which would be offered to any honourable Englishman, by comparing him to this despicable Italian. Bergami has been spoken of, - as if he had been a Nobleman by birth : he was a vagabond in the lowest - class of society,. hired to perform the, basest menial offices. He was raised from this' situation, covered with stars and crosses, and set down at table with the very individuals on whom he had waited as a servant. We do_ not at present' mean to intimate any - opinion on the motives which may have led to his be ing thus distinguished by an Illustrious Princess. Undoubtedly those motives may not have been criminal ; but still there is the broad fact of a Queen's taking a running fobtMan to -sit at her table. We know very well what would have been said if one the Chambermaids at Carlton House had :been raised to the rank of Countess and introduced at Court ; but God forbid that the Queen's conduct should be judged With the same want of candour WhiCh all our English Li berals evince in speaking of the King! HeeMa jesty will no doubt in due time explain why she distinguished this fellow with her special favour ; but in the meanwhile let not. an En9,liSh . Judge be insulted by comparing him with an Italian Footman let us not sacrifice to faction and pre judice all our preconceived notions of fitness'arid delicacy: , As we wish to promote the welfare, as *ell as to record the general sentiments of the several Provincial Towns, manifested in their respec tive Journals, we have extracted the following Letter from The Chester Courant of Tuesday • last, and hope, if the statement it contains is well founded, that so ancient and.respectable a Town as Chester will receive due attention from those to whom its direction is entrusted. The Letter could not have been addressed to. a Gentleman more distinguished for public spirit, local attach ment, and genuine patriotism : CH ESTER POLICE. Stn—The. very laudable and active zeal which you display On all public occasions, has induced me to address you, on the subject of a great number.of public grievances, convinced that your personal exertions, and well known influence, wilt he employed towards the correction of them.—l believe that ' I contribute, as much to the " Police Tax" as any man in Chester, and therefore feel that I have a right to expect that those persons who have the appropriation of the money col lected should do their duty,-1 am, however, concerned to say, 'that the manlier in which that duty is neglected ; has occasioned many and repeated complaints from strangers; and I cannot bear to hear this, my dear trait e City,.scanda 14ed. I aui nut a great traveller myself, so that lam not prepared to refute, a charge which I have•frequenVy heard against Chester, " that it is the dirtiest City in England, that it is the most depra " ved,—and that the Police is a scandal to the inhabitants. 1 was about two years ago at riath, - for diy health, and took some pains to make myself aectitainted with the regulations of the Police, in that beautiful city; and the result of toy inquiries has convinced me, that the Chester Counnissioners of the Police could not • do better than to chuse tlo; Police of Bath as their model ; and would point out the following glaring and abarninahle nuisances : Ist, the pavement is not only badly laid, but is also shatnefullf neglected ; the'old adage, te.stich in time saves nine, is totally disregarded; 2mi, the quantity of rubbish thrown into the streets, and suffered to remain till ground. by the carriages passing, and until a dozen lazy fellows from ttte pour-house cab be prevailed on to sweep it into heaps, and continue in that state several days; all this gives the streets the constant dirty and slovenly appearance so much complained of : 3rd, the coal carts, after having been unloaded, are suffered to remain in the streets, the horses loose, without any person to watch them, their drivers being in the public-.houses, spending their hard-earned wages in drunkenness; this obstruction ought to be rerouted, as pregnant with danger to strangers nriving in carriages, or on vicious horses; 4th, frequent clog fights,—l have, seen within a few days, several instances of this inhuman sport, where liondremis of people, many of the better sort, were present, and 1 am sorry to - say, a must respectable Magis trate of the City passed by, without taking any step to put an end to such brutality. What are those men in blue anti gold paid for? and why rlo not the Magistrates exert themselves ? sth, Female prostitution ; the immorality of the lower orders in this City is become quite proverbial, girls of 14, nay, so young as 12 years of age, ate said to be not uncommon ! This horrid fact may be ascribed lie a great measure to the total, inattention of parents to the .morals of their daughters, who are suffered to go about the town, and the Walls, at all hours, to become the prey of the many dissolute ckaracters, who are constantly prowlingy seeking whom they may devour;" while the numerous dealers in fruit, &c: in the Watergate-street row, and other well-known procuresses, are always ready to assist in giving time destructive blow to innocnce and virtue. The Magistrates would have plenty of employment, if they would give them selves the trouble of looking into Cuppin-street, Lamb-row, Castle-street, Northgate street, B:e.-...-611), one other great nuisance, and often pointed out, is the state of the rows of art evening; this, I am happy to say, has been lately attended to, and •1 trust will he altogether removed. But, Sir, to what end are the Bible and Missionary Societies Are we to preach religion and morality to the pour Indian, while we practice neither ourselves ? . - • " " 1 am, Sir, your friend and fellow-eitisen, Chester, July 5, 1820. . DECENS. W. 11. Fol.Lturr, ESQ. - DARING ROBBER - V,----As the QUEEN was riding in her carriage, in her way to Alderman Woo D's house in South Audley-street, on Tuesday, the carriage was surrounded and followed by a great number of persons. On its arrival near Hill,: , street, Befketey-square, a notorious gang of six or eight thieves, %rho were running along, tripped up several persons and robbed them. of their watches, &c. ; one Gentleman was knocked down and dreadfully maltreated by them, and robbed of his'watch, chain,' and seals. An officer wit nessing the transaction, and knowing the person. whO had the watch, seized him and took him to Marlborough-street Police Office. The watch was found on him.' He was committed for trial. The,Gentleman,who was robbed was not able to appear. DREADFUL AcciDENT.—Y i esterday morning a person accidentally dropped .his watch into the water-closet of the King and Queen public-house, Duke-street, Manchester-square, on which he of fered ten shillings to any one who would go down after it. A man, named James Wilkins, a night man, embraced the offer, and went down, but re maining a longer time than was necessary, ano ther man, named Challice, went down after him, when he continued there the same way, and •on calling, no answer being received from eithdr of them, a man, 'named Turner, consented to ge down to ascertain the cause. A rope was accord ingly tied round his body, and .he was let down half wav when he called out to pull him . tip - they did So,and he was in - a state of insensibility, and all but dead, and he now remains in a very dangerous condition. The boards were torn up, and the bodies of the other two Were taken out quite dyad, and congealed blood coming from their noses. Mr: Davis, Surgeon, of I 9 8; Oxford street, attended, and it appeared that te strong vapour caused by the closeness of the catiett their instant death on being let down.
