It is now confi flently said, that her MAJESTY'S real friends have (l issuatled her from returning, urging that enquiry bill be unavoidable, and can only be attended with the disturbance of the national peace, without affording the chance of any beneficial result to the country or herself. We hope that she will listen to this judicious counsel for her own sake, t odepentlently of all those considerations which ought to operate upon her mind in reference to her domestic duty, as well as from respect to the People, and the tranquillity of the State.

CONTINOATIoN OF THR TRIAL OF TIDD AND , DAYIDSOII.I This morning the Commissioners, Mr. Baron Gaanow, Mr. Justice BesT, the Common Ser jeant, &c. &c., took their seats on the Bench at usual hour (nine o'clock). The Jury having entered the Box, their names were called over, and the Prisoners placed at the Bar. The usual exhibition of tire-arms, and the implements of destruction intended to be used by the Conspirators, took place.

The case for the Crown here dosing, Mr. CUR WOOD addressed the Jury in behalf of the pri sontrs. The Learned Counsel considered that all had been offered that could be said, and called the following witnesses, viz.:— Chambers, Mary Barker, John Bennett, -- Cook, Macwilliam Wood, and Brench. These persons severally gave the prisoners a good cha racter, as honest, sober., and industrious men; One of them had knOWn Davidson when he was 'a student of Mathematics at Aberdeen. These wit nesses were examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS,. who afterwards addressed the Jury; and *horn' our Reporter left speaking. [FURTHER PARTICULARS OP YESTERDAY'S PRO- CBEDINGS.) After the conclusion of the examination of Adams yesterday, the same evidence was given throughout. against the prisonet s Davidson and Tidd, as had been given threetimes before. Mr. Baron GA 'MOW then said,—Gentlemen of the Jury, the case for the prosecution is now closed, all but the production of the arms. if by sitting late there were any probability of bringing the trial to a close this night, I should consult you as to the propriety of doing so; but as we cannot finish it by sitting late, and thereby exhausting ourselves, this is the hest time for adjourninz. Davidson stood up and addressed the Court—" My Lord, as I have been taken by surprise, I am quite unprepared with my witnesses. I hope you will allow my wife to see me this night, that notice may be given them to attend." Mr. Baton Gaststow:—The Court has no power to make any order on the subject you have mentioned ; 'but I can say that care will he taken that any proper person may be admitted to you for any proper purpose. The Court then adjourned. Davidson took notes during the day, and frequently seat communications to his counsel. lie conducts himself altogether with great composure and propriety. He pays close attention, and writes and speaks without effort or confusion. Timid seems to have perfect self possession, but a flush that occasionally animates his face in dicates some hurry and eagerness of mind. SHIP NEWS.

THE THEATLig.-Mr. DEAN continues to be so attractive in the part of King Lear, that the Ma- Hager is likely to be abundantly recompensed for . the liberal manner in which the hue Tragedy of our great Dramatic Bard has been revived at Dt . ury- Lane Theatre. Atter tie Tragedy, the old Farce of The King and the Miller of Mansfield, was revived fur the purpose of introducing Mr. STEPHEN K BMBLE in the character of the Miller. There was Tittle opportunity of judging of his performance, but that little afforded a good specimen of honest rusticity and manly humour, it the farce had not been interrupted by factious clamour. The Mille► proposed a toast at the supper, in the following words :—" Here's the King's health—Heaven Hess his Majesty—may he live long to reign in the hearts of a loyal, brave, and affectionate People."—This toast was received by a very numerous audience with hearty acclamations and three rounds of applause. As soon as the applause ended, a voice in the Gal lery, evidently that of a boy, called out " the QUEEN'S Health." This was no doubt the in tended signal, and immediately - a considerable Party echoed the call, and nothing but 'confusion ensued. Dlr. Itussci.r. its vain represented that the Farce was an old and popular one,. and solicited a patient hearing till the conclusion.— It was impossible for any thing to be heard on the stage, and 'he clamour continued till the dropping of the curtail). The tumult was confined to the Gallery, and the decent people in the l'it put on their hats, to mark their indignation at such a riotous interruption of a rational amusement, as can only be considered as the effusion of ►actions malevolence.

The Public will derive equal gratification with ourselves on learning that by the pious munifi cence of one of the earliest and most zealous sup porters of this admirable establishment for the Education of the Poor in the principles of the National Church, ample provision has now been made for their regular attendance upon the public Worship of Almighty GOD in a Chapel of their own. Ely Chapel, heretofore belonging to the Bishop of that See, but alienated front it for many years, has been bought and presented to the So ciety for the accommodation of the Children edu cated under its superietendance, their parents and relations, and other persons resident in the vi cinity. On Sunday last the public appropriation of it to this highly interesting purpose took place, the Lord Bishop of the Diocess anti the venerable the Archdeacon of London lending their valuable services to preach on the occasion ; the former in the forenoon and the latter in the afternoon. — Their Graces the Archbishops of Centel bitty and York, their Lmdships the Bishops of Ely and Llandeff, together with several other Members of the General Committee of the Society, and other respectable characters attending. This distin guished countenance afforded to the lostiortioa on a solemnity which may be considered as its Thanksgiving Day, for having beer' pet in pos session of the grand desideratum for perfecting its benificent plan of Religious Instruction will be received, we persuade ourselves, by the Public, as a highly gratifying communication, as it must be telt that the prospetity even of the best of causes is very far from being inconsiderably pro moted by the sanction and zeal of authority; nor will less gratification be derived from the circum stance which we are enabled to state, that the at tendance of the children at bog' services was so nearly, complete, that in the forenoon only 14 formed the whole list of absentees, and 10 in the afternoon, and that a numerous - attendance of the children's parents and relations occupied the seats set apart for their accommodation. Of the im pressive sermon delivered by the Lord Bishop, we cannot better convey the sentiments we entertain, in common, we are sure, with all who beard it, than by expressing our earnest hope that his Lord ship will have the kindness to allow the public at large to profit by its wholesome truths and con vincing reasoning, as it contained, in eloquent and well pointed arguments, an abstract, as it were, of the character of the Society itself ; and a de scription of the principles which are essential to , give to education that influence upon the mind and conduct which alone can make it a blessing to individuals and to society. Of the venerable the Archdeacon's sermon we must bear the same testimony, conveyed in the same terms of hope and solicitation. It fol lowed up, in that strain of genuine piety for which he is so eminently remarkable, the sub ject of the Bishop's discourse, enforcing the necessity of general Education, and the set ing forth the aptitude of the National So ciety to perform efficiently this most important l i public service, and it concluded with an impres sive address to the Children, rendered doubly affecting by the feeling with which it was deli vered.—Combined with the inculcation of Bonn!' religious principles, is the inculcating those of loyalty also. This induces us to notice another festival, annually celebrated by the National So ciety, and accidentally this year on the day suc ceeding the above religious celebration; we Mean the BirthAay• of the Sovereign, its munificent Patron, the which, through the bounty of the Members of the General Committee, and Ihe gemd store of roast beef and plumb•pudding, to which upwards of 700 children sat down at one o'clock, was welcomed and cheered as warmly within the walls of the Central School, as in any one of the many social rejoicings held on the occasion. The smiling faces both of the parents and children, which formed the coup-d'ccil of this exhilirating scene, would, we are sure, have gone very far to have revived loyal sentiments in the heart of any but an incurable Radical. The following is au extract of a Letter from Liverpool, received by an eminent commtreo house in' the City : " Liverpool, April 22.-1 n cons goelic..e o r an improvement in the demand for go,'s at Man chester, we have had a brisk market here for cottons. The sales of the week exceed 15,000 bags ; the prices are a quarter to half a pound higher." . . On Monday last, e meeting of the inhAbitant3 of Perth was held in the Sheriff Coort•igoot, tor the purpose of taking into consideration :he present ditiressed state of the labouring cl,tbses of that place, particularly of the opts.' ive weavers. After some discussion, it was agreed to apponit a new committee, who should he empowered to re ceive additional subscriptions, to be applied in such a manner as might be deemed hest c a leql,ited to give employment to the industrious.--(Edin burgh Courant, April 24.) Thisticwood and Brunt, since their conviction, have been put in irons. Jogs, being much indis posed, is at present exempt from that species of coercion. This wretched man is extremely nerv ous, and at present evinces little of th.►t hardi- - hood which, from the evidence, on his 'vial, ap peared to characterise his conduct or the secret meetings in Fox-court.
