a.CUSE OF LORDS—THIS DAY. THE QUEEN. This morning the Loan CHANCELLOR entered the House at twelve minutes before ten, when .prayers were immediately read by the Bishop of BRISTOL, after which the list was called over. Letters were received in apology for the non attendance of Lord COMERS and the Earl of HAR RI ' , SWF° N. The Dukes of VORK, CL IRENCE., Mid '.1 . -!LoucEsTEn :sere early in the House. PUNIS!IMENT OF PERJURY, Earl riaosvr.Noa, in a tone almost inaudible below the Bar, owing to the confusion that pre vailed, said, as we understood him., that in conse r.leence of what had transpired in the House, ~ !ring, the examination of witnesses, he wished n;; doubts to be removed as to the punishment of ;:ersons who might: hereafter be deemed to have v. , oruitted perjury at their Lordships' Bar. Ile v: mild submit the expediency of passing a short Apt to remove all doubt on the subject. a he . Loan CHAN cELLun here observed!, that, his opinion, when . the Counsel at the Bar, the . 4.!;110.:: day, said he would undertake to prosecute o:te of the witnesses for the Bill, he went,'un cl.lestionahly, too far. It was most improper to ozve intimated such nn intention nn that stage of, proceedings, and it was still more so to have is i:idicated to the public that more prosecutions of the same description were likely to take F,iace. It might be an infirmity of mind, but he 1 - :aped it was not peculiar to himself, to hold it a -I%;ty to suspend. all judgment Its to the veracity 0., witnesses till the conclusion of the business. it might even turn out tact the evidence of such viitnesses was true, as, it possibly might be con- firmed be witnesses yet to be called. Earl 6-110SVENOR., e%planation, said that an h-ipothetical case, in roferenee to the subject, he had cursorily brought before the House, had al rPady been put by the Noble and Learned Lord. lie conceived that he was following up that hy pothesis by proposing a short Act. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought, that specu lations of that description might, if Noble Lords pleased, be applied, to the witnesses yet to be called, hut they could not in fairness and justice be fixed at present on those who had already becn examined at their Lordships' Bar. The Earl of LIVE::POOL, we believe, depre cated the course now propOsed to the House. (Here the conversation dropt.) RECALLING OF wiTNEssEs.. Viscount MELvILLE rose arAd expressed a desire that some further questions should be put to one of the witnesses who had been examined on Sa turday. The person he alluded to was William Carrington, and he should therefore move that William Carrington be ordered to attend at the bar. Whether he should press this motion now, 17-111'3t, depend on the pleasure of their Lordships. Earl GREY said sornething„ which we. could not The Earl of LlTEr.poor. here. submitted the prcpriety of going on with the evidence ; but be theCounsel for the Queen summed up, the Clunsel for the Bill might be asked if they bad aLy other evidence to bring to rebut that pro daeed against the Bill. The Earl of LAvontnALE said that a witness bad been already recalled to the Bar, and there fi_;:e it 11 . as-competent for the Noble Viscount to ax his own time. _ _ The Earl of Dosoix.HmortE was of opinion t.hat the question was whether the interrogatories be put hy.the Noble Viscount were necessary f;.;- the information of the Curia ; for if they were necessary, the sooner the Court possessed that knowledge the better. Viscount INIELNILLE; in reply said, it was high ly expedient that William Carrington should be x-e -examined at the Bar, and he would accord move that he should be ordered to attend to-morrow. [Here cries of " To-day, to-day," were re- P , !g.ted froth different parts of the House, and the witr.e.ss was ordered forthwith to be in attend acce on the House‘] WITNEsSES FOR HER :MAJESTY. Lieutenant Jonx FLYNN was then called in, atid. his cross-examinaticia was resumed by the ERAL. Q. What time did witness arrive at Athens ? A. On the Sth of May. • • Had witness got a copy of the memorandum that was mentioned yesterday, kept on the coast of Sicily, and when was it made ?—About three years ago, Was that memorandum made on shore or on hoard the vessel • in which witness was?—On Loud the vessel. Was kvittiess ever on board an Italian vessel ? O. was the na:ne .of the'vessal .which wit ness was on board ?--The Lion. 'v h o navi'Fat(d the polacca in which -witnesswas?—The witness navigated her. Who gave the orders to the sailors on board ? Witness did so. Did not the witness then execute tho duties as Captain ?--Ife did. { - it appeared in explanation that the Captain had not the sole command of the ship, but that it devolved in part on Lieutenant Flynn. in con sequence of the arrangement made by the Prin cess of Wales.] Did witness mean to say he gave orders to the crew for. navigating,the vessel This question was objected to. Who gave th'orders to the sailors ?—Generally it was the Captain who gave 'them, but the orders came from witness. The Loin CHANCE-LLCM here suggested, that it might avoid much circumlocution if, to clear up the difficulty, the tvitness were asked what he meant by the words " navigated the ship." The question so framed was put by the Soli citor-General, when the witness answered that it related to the conrses the ship was to steer by, and occasionally giving orders to the crew. Then the witness did occasionally give orders to the crewl—Sometimes he did and sometimes not. Were not the orders in general given by Cap tain Garguilo himself ?—The Captain was some times not on deck, and the witness had occasion to give them. Did the witness give them only when the Cap tain was not on deck ?—Sometimes when he was on deck. Did the witness usually write in Italian or in English ?—ln both, but generally in English. - - Was the account that witness kept written in Italian or English;-1n Italian- . _ Was that account written by the witness —By a Clerk. Was that person an Italian ar an Englishman? --He did not know v, hat country he was of. Was Ni fitness long on board the polacca ? Some months. Did lie take his memorandum from the book ?---Ves. By whom was the log-book kept?—By himself. Did the witness mean the log - -book or a private memorandum?-1t was not exactly the log-book of the ship. Was that memorandum kept by the witness orb the clerk he kept ?—Some of it was kept by witness, and the other part. by the clerk. Then the latter was oti board the vessel all this time ?—Yes. Was the Clerk an Italian ?—Yes. Did not the witness state just now that he did not know what that individual was, or which country he belonged to .:—Witncts did not say whether he Tins Italian or English. (Here the witness was ordered to withdraw fora titne, but was soon rkcalied.) The SorAcurom-GENERAL nom , repeated -the last question put to witness, who replied that he did nut know what the Clerk was, but believed Ire was either an Italian or Sicilian. In that memorandum did witness write the Italian or English part of it f—The English. Bad not the witness said that the leg-hook was kept iu Italian ?--The answer was not correctly heard. T hen the log-book was written both in Italian and English I—ln both. (Witness was here ordered to withdrew.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took this opportunity to direct the officers to open the windows of the llonse,..and added, that a Noble Lord yesterday had mistaken his wishes when he supposed that it was by his orders they were shut. Examination resumed. The witness on being recalled and questioned stated that the clerk he mentioned was a sailor and a servant of his, and yet that he was not a servant of his. Hai ing told their Lordships that the clerk was not a servant of his, and afterwards said he was one, to which of the two stories does the witness mean to adhere ?---He meant that he acted as both. Does the witness mean that the clerk was his serVant, and at the same time that he was not his servant ?---He was only his servant in making up his cut, and assisting him, but he acted more as a sailor tha►l a civil. As the witness kept part of the memorandum and the clerk the remainder,who kept the most?— It was impossible at this period to say with cer tainty, not having the thing before his eyes, but witness thought he had kept the most. Then if witness kept the most it was in En glish ?--Some part was in Italian, and the En glish by the witness. Did not witness say before, that the greater part was in English, and kept by him ?--If•he had told their Lordships so, it was at a moment distracted, as not to know what he said. Then the part kept by the witness, was, after all, some times in English, and some times in Italian ?—The witness could not say. Was the greater prop • •tion in English ? , --L-There appeared to be about the same quantity in Eng lish as in Italian. Look at that paper (handing a memorandum to the witness), and say it' it commenced before your departure from Messina ?—lt was not begun then, but on the 6th of December, the day her Royal Highness arrived at Messina. When did her Royal Highness set out from Messina :—On the Gth of January. The SoLicnort.GENERAL was proceeding with his examination, when Mr. Brougham objected to the Learned Counsel keeping the memorandum hi his hand, as it was designed to refresh the me mory of the witness, whereas the Learned Coun sel was very opportunely assisting his own and keeping . the paper from the witness's eyes. The Sor.ICITOR-GENERAI. in reply contended, that Mr. Brouzham's observations were quite un founded, as the witness had already seen the do cunmet in his hand, and he himself kept it for in spection, which he asserted he had a right to do. The Loan CHANCELLOR was of opinion that when the Counsel was cross-examining the wit ness, they might examine such memoranda as were landed to them. The Earl of LAUDERDALE much doubted, from what he had heard, whether the memo randum ought to have been put into the witness's hand. THOMAS HAnnts, EA:Q.—On Friday last the mortal remains of this respected and lamented Gentleman, who was for above half a c e ntury the pri nc i pa l P ro p r i e t or an d a bl e - Manager of Covent-Garden Theatre, were removed from his late residence, the Cottage on Putney-hill, near Wimbledon-common, for interment in the family vault built by him at Hillingdon, near Oxbridge. The funeral, agreeably to his own desire, was a pri vate one,and the only mourners present were some of his relatives and a few of his old and faithful theatrical assistants, who have survived to regret the loss o f a s i ncere f r i en d ac id wor th y man. FuNE rtA L OF Mn. th ree o'clock yesterday afternoon, .the mortal remains of Mr. WM. FIELDING were removed' for interment in 'St. Margaret's burial-ground, from hiS house ad= joining the Police-office, Qucen-sqnare. • We received this morning the Paris Papers of Saturday last. The 16th Bulletin, issued on Fri day evening, again announces the Duchess de BEntu and the Duke of Bo RDEAUX to be in the best state of health.—The following are ex tracts : " PARIS, OCT. 7.—The King' yesterday transacted business successively with the Minister of the Interior, and the Nil nister for Foreign Affairs.

The Proceedings on the Trial of Tim QUEEN have given occasion to so much party violence, seditious artifice, and rebellious instigation, that it maybe considered as one of the worst misfor tunes that ever befel the Country. Mast heartily do we wish that it were possible to put an end to it, as, whatever may be the final judgment, it is not likely to settle the minds of the People at large. Those who congratulate HER MAJESTY, and disbelieved all the Charges before any evi dence had been heard, and who still believe her to be innocent, notwithstanding all that evidence, will still maintain their own opinions.—On the other hand, those who rely on the contrary evi dence; corroborated by all the rumours that have so long been prevalent ox the Continent, will be equally inflexible in a conviction of her guilt.— In the mean time, the Country is disturbed by those differences of opinion throughout the Em pire, which also, in a great .degree, inter rupt domestic tranquillity. But, what is still worse, a V, icked Faction is taking advantage of these dissensions, and is making THE, QUEEN the instrument of the most diaboli cal incitements, of the pernicious nature and ten dency of which it is impossible that she should be aware, as they are calculated to bring ruin upon herself, amidst the general ruin of the Country. We . have given a brief account of an Examina titm'at Bow-Street, respecting some seditious Pla cards, professed to have been issued by the Committee for collecting Subscriptions fii• a Ser vice of Plate to be presented to her MAJESTY. The'Committee disclaim these. Placards, and as sort that they were fabricated and circulated by Ministerial Agents. It must be owned, that if the Committee are not the real authors and pro moters of these Placards, the language which they have held, and the measures which they have adopted, have exposed them to the suspi cion of having employed such an expedient to raise, the spirit of Sedition. The very purpose of .the Subscription favours the surmise that the Placards originated and were diffused by them selves; for why should they not wait till the Legislature has fully acquitted her MAJESTY, and then such a Subscription will bear the cha racter of national justice as welt as liberality, and every friend to injured innocence will rejoice iu giving support to it? We hope the subject of the Examination. at. Bow-street will be probed to the bottom. In the mean time we may enquire, as Mr. PEARSON, the Solicitor. to the Committee, declares that he has long traced the conduct of Mr. FRANKr.ts, and found him to be the Author of. innumerable Placards of the same descrip tion, why he has so long delayed to reveal his knowledge; and not have endeavoured. to bring the Author to punishment ? There is something very suspicious in this delay, and Mr. Px.tasos ought to explain it to the satisfaction of all honest and impartial men.—For our own part, we consi der the whole as a vile conspiracy to throw disgrace upon Government. 'We trust tlat this FRAN Km or, who is probably harboured by the Radicals, wi _ . be found, and then it will be seen whether he is the Dupe or the Agent of this vile conSpiracy. the tendency of which is to spread commotion over the country. , ECOND EDITION. SUN-OFFICE, Hay-past Four• II OUSE OF LORDS, OCT. 10. 11 414 The cross-examination of Lieutenant if' O lasted great part of the day. He was a t period so agitated that he fainted and was ried out of the House. On his return the cr °° examination was resumed, but he contradicted ° self repeatedly, and seemed scarcely to — l4°S what he was about, orwhat he was saying. 4 % -ftei his examination was at length finished, C' ir mate r RLNGTON was called back, but nothing ina -- was elicited out of his cross-examination.
