How (lid Sacchini travel, ?-1n a carriage or carratella, which he tode in from stage to stage. What was the reason that Sacchini travelled on that occa slot,. in 'a Carriage?—Because he was not fit to monnt horse; because when he rode on horseback he was all chafed. He did ride part of the way then ?—As I said before, he went from Milan as far as Ancona, and on the way he was chafed, and he got into the carriage and rode to Rome, and I mounted on horseback, and he asked we to conceal it from Bergami. How long had you been at Rome before you set out for Se negaglia, was it two mouths ?—Yes, two months. What months ?—June, July, and we set out the Ist of August. Do you mean to sae• that Sacchini laboured under the ef fects of the riding on the journey to Rome ►'hen you left, two months after.—(Order, order!) Question withdrawn.

When was that?— , lt was when I went to fetch money for her Royal Highness from her Banker's at Route. The pos tilions would not give me horses, and began to ill treat me ; I began to retaliate, and heat them. The postilions, seven in number, came on me with their pitch-forks. I drew out my pistol and presented it. A courier, a friend of mine, cause up and held my hand at the moment I was pulling the trigger to kill one of the postilions, and my friend received the fire him self.

The question was considered objectionable, and the LORD CHANCELLOR asked, What was Garguilo's duty on board the ship ?—He attended the duty of the ship. His duty was to attend the men ?—Yes.

Cross•examined by the Soucrrett-GENEtta Q. How long was the voyage from Tunis to Jaffa ?—A. I do not recollect the time. About what time ?— , From two to three months. As near as you can recollect, how long was the voyage from Jaffa to Syracuse?—About a mouth. Do you mean to say it was not more than a month ?—lt might have been more than a month. Wilt you take on yourself to say it was not more than two months I—lf I had my journal I could tell. (Here the witness produced a paper, and wished to refer to it.) Where did that paper come from ?—lt contains copies from my journal. Where is the original I—ln Sicily. Why did you make the copies 1-4 thought I might want them hereafter. You did nut think then the originals would be wanted ? No. - For what purpose did you bring the copies ?—For my friends. Why not bring the originals ?—They contained memoran dums of private affairs. When were the copies made ?—ln the course of the voyage. Where, and tell what time ?—ln the voyage from Jalla to Syracuse. It might be - about two months ; I cannot say ex actly without looking at the memorandum. Will you take on yourself to swear it was not more than two months ?—The witness was ordered to withdraw. Lord ERSKINE—When a witness states he has no distinct memory on a subject without referring to a memorandum, I do not approve of an endeavour to press on his memory, that which be says be cannot recollect. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, the memorandum the witness wished to produce, was the copy of a journal or log, not made during the voyage, but during a subsequent voyage. He should therefore submit it could not be introduced. The LORD CHANCELLOR intituated,that if the objection was taken, Counsel must be heard on both sides. The Earl of . LIVERPOOL stated, that the impression upon his mind was, that the memorandum was made in the voyage from Jaffa to Sicily. If it was a memorandum made several months after the transactions to which it referred, perhaps lie had no right to produce it. The Marquess of LANSDOWN considered the witness ought to be allowed to refresh his memory. The Earl of HARROWIIY expressed an opinion that the memorandum could nut be received as evidence. Earl GREY said a few words in support of the observations made by Lord Erskine. Mr. 61.7 RN EY then read the pi eceding questions and answers of the witness. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, my Lords, I think it will be proper to call the witness back, and I will ask him where he made the original memoranda ; when and w h ere he made the copies; and whether they are true copies of the originals. The witness was accordingly recalled and examined by his Lordship. R. Where did you make the original of these memoranda ? A. On board the vessel I commanded, as we sailed from Mes sina to Catania. Where did you make what you call the copies of these pa pers ?—During the same voyage. Did you make the originals when on board the polacca ? Yes, I did: • Where 'did you make the c,-pies ?—On the saute voyage ; they are but v few lines. Arc they faithful extracts of that of which they purport to be copies ?—No, Sir.—(Laughter and some confusion.) What are they copies of?—They are nut copies of the whole; they are copies of parts. Are they accurate copies, as far as you have them, of the original?—Yes, Sir. Cross-examined by the Soucrrort-GENERAL. Look at your memoranda, but do not read them, and tell us how long you were on the voyage from Jaffa to Syracuse —We sailed from Jaffa on the 19tli of June, and arrived at Syracuse on the 24th of July. Where did Bergatui step during the voyage ?—lu the din.. ing room. Every night ?—To the best of my recollection he did. How do you know that ?-13ecause L had frequent occasion to go to 'her Majesty in the morning to pay my respects, and I saw him in the dining room. Did her Majesty sleet► below all the time of the voyage ? I believe so. Where was her Majesty when you went to pay your re spects -?—ln her sleeping room. In bed ?—No, on a sofa.- %Vas she dressed or undressed I—Dressed. Howßmearigi y a i t s i m i e n s bed did t a l i s these p t s i i i :7-... l? % — VlTe e n s. l went, Bergami sometimes said Good morning, as I passed.. What kind of a bedstead was it that Bergarni slept upon ? —I believe it was an iron one. Was it fixed?—No; it was lashed to the side of the vessel. Do you mean to swear, that from that bed the bed of her Royal Highness could nut he seen when the door was open ? —I think not. Did you ever stand these to see if it could ?—No; I did not. Was it your duty to attend upon her Royal Highness ?—No; I only went when called. No other business took Me. Did nothing else ever take you to the dining-room ?—No I I never went except when called. • Did you ever go at night•?—No. How often hare you gone when called ?—I have gone at different times. Not very frequently. . How many times ?—1 cannot specify the Mill,:tr. th e voyage, O n ce, twice, thrice, o r ten times ?—1 cannot say. Under the tent on the deck of the vessel, which lasted above a month, was there a sofa and a bed.—Yes. %Vhose hed was that believe Mr... Austin's. Who slept in it.?-1 do not know. Do you mean to swear that her Royal Highness did not her Royal Hi g hness slept oti Ihr sofa, not sleep in it ?—I do; on the bed. How far off were they?—They were not far off, three or f ou r racist three yards. Will you swear there was an Interval of three yards, or any thing like it, between the bed sod the sofa ?—.Between the extremities of them there was a great deal more. Between their nearest points, upon your oath, was there more than two yards ?—lithinh so. H o w do you know that her R o y al Highness slept on the sofa ?—Because I went into the tent one morning, and saw it. Who slept on the bed,?..L'lie bed was used for p e r sons t o sit on in the day time. • Did no one sleep in it nerq saw.any one sleep on it. Did you ncver. see Ilergaroi?—No: 1 never saw him lie on it; I have seen hint sit on it in the day time. Do you mean to swear that you never saw ttergami lying on it ?—I du.. Had. you never the curiosity,during•the voyage, to inejuire where Bergami-slept?—No; I had other business to attend to, to navigate the ship, and carry. her Royal Highness to - the different places she wanted to visit. Have you any doubt that Bergami slept on that bed during tlie whole voyage not linow any thing where he slept. Hate you'any doubt, l'repeat the question, that Bergami : slept on that hed during the whole voyage?-1 cannot slay where he slept. Have you any doubt, I repeat the question a third time, &c.?-1 must doubt that he Slept these every night, or et all, since I - bars. said that - 1 do hot know where he slept.' 'l'Re ver saw him there, and have every reason to doubt he did nut 'sleep there. Do yyu mean to swear that , you believe be did not sleep there ?—I do. Where did he sleep ?-1 do not }mow. In the cabin ?—I never went into the cabin in the day time to see if he slept there - or not. I do not ask about your going in the day time ; I ash you if ever you saw him sleep its the cabin ?-1 du nut recollect 04 ever did. On your oath, not knowing where he did sleep, do you be lieve that h e s l e pt under the tent ?—I believe he did nut sleeP under the tent. Why do you believe that ?—Because when I went in to see her Majesty, I did not see him there. Was it light or dark at that time?—[t was dark.—(Laughter.) What countryman arc you ?—I am an Englishman, partly an Irishman. How could you tell in the dark that Bergami was not Oleic ?—From the light from the. binnacle. I opened the tent, and the light was sufficient to show me he was not there. You mean to swear then, that when nut dark, as you before represented, but light as you now represent :dr.

William Adderfield, a country lad, was exa mined on Saturday at this Office, charged with distributing amongst the crowd, in Parliament street, some hand-bills of the most inflammatory nature that could possibly be conceived, contain ing direct incitements to the people to overthrow the King and his Government. The lad then stated, that lie was employed by a " respectable looking elderly Gentleman" to distribute the bills, and in consequence of the description he gave of his employer, Pearson, the Attor ney, attended for the purpose of disavowing on the part of the Queen's Plate Subscription Committee (by whom the bills purported to be issued), all knowledge of the infamous libel. Pearson had a private .conference with the Magistrate (Mr. Mtssuum,), *and .having given a deposition on oath, a warrant was grant= ed, and put into the bands of Vickery, one of the principal officers, for the apprehension of William Franklin, Esq. .of _ Clarendon-place, Edgeware-road, on the charge of being the pub lisher of the bills in question. Vickery, accompanied by Pearson, went, at five o'clock on Sunday morning, to Clarendon-place, and took Mr. Franklin from his bed. Pearson having seen him in safe custody, left him, and in the course of the day, apprehensive that some attempt might be made by bins to get his liberty en bail, and abscond, he wrote to Mr. Birnie, to inform him, that he had several other charges of the most serious nature to prefer against the accused, and eleven o'clock yesterday morning was appointed for his•public examination at Bow-street. At the appointed hour, Pearson, attended by a great num ber of witnesses, appeared at the otlice with a variety of hand bills and other documents, intended to be exhibited as a mat ter of charge against the accused. Sir Gerard Noel, M. P. Joseph Hume, Esq. M.P. Major Cartwright, and several other public men, were also present, and the office was much crowded. At half-past eleven o'clock, Sir Robert Baker arrived at the Oilier, and had some conversation with Vickery, the •of fiver ; after which he took his seat on the Bench, and Pearson asked, if the prisoner was forthcoming? Sir RouestT BAKER—Hu is nut come yet, but. I dare say you will see him. Pearson asked Vickery where he was ? • _ . Vickery—l took him before Sir Robert Baker yesterday, and he liberated him. He promised to be here at eleven o'clock, but is not yet come. Pearson, with some warm th . observed, that he was pre pared to charge the individual with the most grave offences, and having himself given him in charge to Vickery, he ex-' pected that be would be forthcoming now. Sir Boum' BAKER said that Pearson's deposition, upon which the warrant was granted, merely charged the accused on suspicion of a misdernearomr,.and be had nut been idea•••_ tified. The charge.,bad nut been proved against hint - Pearsow•--" I had identified hiM, and gave him in charge to the officer." • In the course of some conversation which followed, it ap peared that Mr. Williams, a neighbour of Mr. Franklin, had undertaken to be responsible for the appearance of Mr. F. Mr. Williams, who, had been sent for, said, he left the ac cused on Sunday night, atten o'clock, witkan understanding that they were to meet yesterday to come to the other, and • he called yesterday morning at his (Franklin's) house, but be was out. Mr. W. seemed much confused, and on a subse quent and closer interrogation admitted that when he left Franklin on Sunday evening, he said he should go instantly into the country, and yesterday morning Miss Franklin in forme! hint, " that her father was a hundred miles off b that time." Mr. Minsbull having arrived, . . Pearson said, he was prepared with ample evidence at this moment. to prove, that inflammatory• handbills had heen printed at a very great expense. by order of Franklin,- that th%t person was connected with the Governments and" that fifty thousand copies of the bill had been. distrib utes! on Saturday. After some further conversation, the Magis trates expressed themselves ready . to render every assist ance, and Vickery, with all the parties / interested, retired to a private room, and had a lung constfltation. A hand bill was drawn up and ordered to he printed offering _a rewad f ur th e apprehension of Mr. Franklin, 'andit was finally settled, that Vickery should go in pursuit of the accused; Mr. Minshull undertaking that he should be supplied with funds for that purpose. It was also suggested, that an application should he made to the Home Secietary of State, to use means for his . appreheusion, alai here this ut;sterious matter rests for' the present.
