If a witness, for instance, says Raganti offered money to induce persons to depose against the Queen, an objection is imme diately taken that Raganti has not been proved to be an agent under the Milan Commission, and therefore no evidence can be received as to any attempt on his part to suborn witnesses. It is true that Rastelli says that Raganti came to him and desired him to come before the Milan Commis sion, and that it is, therefore, in evidence that he was actively employed in procuring witnesses, but then being actively employed in this way, is not being an agent, and the - most extensive sub ornation on the part of Raganti would not be the act of the Milan Commission, but his own. The strict rules of evidence observed in the Courts below must not be departed trom ; for though the whole of the .proceedings are a violation of law, and the Queen has been- deprived of its protection, none of its technicalities can• be departed from, when she wishes to unmask the conspiracy against her.—Who is the prosecutor ? has been again and again asked. Aye, who is the prosecutor ? The State, we are told at one moment—the next, the House of Lords, who are also the Judges—and then Ministers are - ho noured with that title. Who employed the Mi lan Commission ? Ministers, or at least the head Minister of the Duke of Cornwall. But who em ployed Baron Ompteda ?—Who emuloyed Baron Reding ? Who employed the ganoverian and Wurtemburgh Ministers ? Who, by money and threats, prevailed on witnesses to come here Neither the State nor the House of Lords, nor Ministers could employ these Hanoverian Ministers, because they have no power over them. Then there is some one behind the curtain, who has power to put these servants of the King of Hanover in motion. But though this unknown enemy may employ all the resources of corruption to destroy the Queen, how is she to reach him ? We only know acci dentally that Hanoverian Ministers employed money arid threats to procure witnesses, from its having come out in the cross-examination of a witness for the prosecution. But though the Queen had hundreds of witnesses to prove that Hanoverian Ministers had been guilty of the most shameless subornation, by the rues for which the Counsel for the prosecution contend, she could put no questions to any of them ; for these Mi nisters have not been proved to be agents of the Milan Commission ; and we have nothing to do with any subornation on the part of any such Mi nisters or their employers ; for what have we to do with the King of Hanover ? [New Times.] If the forms of the Lower House preclude any discussion of what is going on in the Upper, we hope that those forms will be most timorously en forced. No indulgence must be ;hewn, at a crisis like the present, to the unlicensed itch for declamation, which can only be gratified by pouring forth abuse on honourable men and ve nerable institutions. The peace of the nation is not to be complimented away to gratify vanity or to satiate malignity. Not that we 'are in the least disposed to decline any argument that can fairly be raised on the actual state of her Majesty's case. With that case, as it now stands, conspiracy can have little or nothing to do ; for the proof of adultery has been most satis factorily established 'by the Queen's own wit nesses, and if her Counsel can ever establish her innocence, it must be by completely overturning and annihilating the evidence of Lieutenants • Flynn and Hownam. We do not deny . that they may do this ; but we say, that the question which they labour to raise about Rastelli and the Miian Commission (futile, frivolous, contemptible ques tions at the best,) vanish into total insignificance, when we look at the tremendous fact of jive weeks nightly cohabitation with Bergami in a closed tent. Then as to the subordinate, but concurring and corroborating circmustances, every new wit ness for the Queen strengthens some of these points against her. Thus the witness exa mined yesterday proved that the " goitlefolks " at the Barona who did the future Queen of Eng land-the honour of visiting her, were the land lady that keeps the Christopher public house, and her daughter, the wife and sister of another publican, his daughter Marian, " the flower of gentlefolks" in that neighbourhood, and Miss IVlarian's brother, or cousin (we know not which), Master Giuseppe. Lastly, it will no doubt be said, " the people" demand the Queen's acquittal: and the persons who may perhaps make this broad assertion are the very individuals who best know what tag-rag and bobtail proces sions they have headed to Brandenburgh House, and how completely the respectable part .of the population have kept aloof from those dis graceful measures. Compare the property of the Addressers in any parish with the property of those who maintain a just and reasonable silence, awaiting respectfully the just judgment of the Legislature ; and it will clearly be seen that the Nation, that is to say, the property and respec tability of the Nation, is for degrading the Queen, if she be guilty. A CAPITAL RECOLLECTION !—The very last Prize of 30,0001. was Sold by CARROLL, who has now a choice selection of Tickets and Shares, at his Fortunate Offices, No. 19, Cornhill, and 26, Oxford-street, where the Public may obtain the two Prize's of 20,000/. and the other Capitals, which must ALL be drawn To:Moßßow, when the Lottery finishes. WEEKLY RETROSPECT. Never has the public attention been so exclu sively occupied by one subject as by the Parlia mentary Proceedings of the past week. The Loyal and truly Patriotic, under which defini tion we must include all the moderate, and those who wait in silence for Legislative Adjudication, have felt anxious for the development of truth, for the fair vindication of lIER MAJI:STY'S fame, clear of all legal quibbles or, Old Bailey acquit tals, and for a rational and pe'rmanent stop to the train of events so intimately connected with the public tranquillity. The Dtsloyal, indeed, have had a very ditierentSeeling, amongst whom, how e-fer, we do not class the thousands led by mis judging enthusiasm, by the novelty of seeing a , QUEEN, by the rarity and length of the ride, or by the vanity of displaying themselves, on a visit to Hammersmith—but it is not the less a fact that in the early part of th.: week the Radi cats, amongst whom we class many loud profes sors --of Reginal attachment, were very much alarmed lest the Peers .should throw out the Bill ! That Bill, which the Loyal only wish should pass in case of proved immorality, the Radicals look forward to as a rallying point for riot and revolution. In stating this we should feel sorry were it to operate on the mind of any individual as a reason why Truth and Justice should yield to popular clamour—but, as the fact is well known, it may well operate as an incentive to the strictest watch on the part of Government, and as a preparative and stimulus to active exer tions on the part of the Public at large to check the first symptoms of riot or confusion. The alarm of the Radicals, towards the end of the week, respecting the issue of the Bill, is per haps not so great—at least we understand that a considerable change of opinion has taken place on the Stock Exchange, where the downfall of public character or of private virtue is-only con sidered as pastime for Bulls and Bears ! In the middle of the week we hear that 131. have been paid to 'receive 1001. when the Bill shall receive the Royal Assent ! But the difference in the odds has, on Friday and Saturday, undergone a chancre. Great, indeed, must be the interest taken on that subject, when a most important fact, relative to the general welfare of the Nation, has been suf fered to pass down the stream of Time with scarcely a comment. We allude to that most im portant fact, illustrative of our increasing prospe rity', that the sum total of the Revenue for the last year exceeds that of 1818 in the proportion of 600,0001.; and has, by our Constitutional and Commercial Elasticity, bounded beyond that of the intermediate year, 1819, to the very import ant amount of 1,700,0001. This is a most material consideration. We have not only overcome those circumstances which depressed the revenue of 1819 below that of the preceding year, put we have also exceed ed that ,year to an amount which is highly tlat tefing. Nay, the very mode and manner in which this amelioration has taken place, are fit subjects of congratulation. It is very true, in deed, that the Customs of 1820 are less than those of ,1818, in the sum of one and three quar ter millions. But this diminution may, to a great extent, be accounted for by the reduced prices of such articles of Import and Export as pay ad valorem duties. Nzty, this seems even more confirmed by the fact that the Excise have in creased FOUR MILLIONS! - The increased internal commercial activity is shewn by an increase of Post Office Duties ; whilst Commercial Improvement is shewn by the fact of Stamp Duties diminished. This is evi dently connected with diminished Bankruptcies; and it must not be forgotten that both the Asses sed Taxes and Land Tax have also increased, though not to a very large amoutit. Upon the whole, it is gratifying to see that our total Revenue is now FIFTY MILLIONS AND A lIALp--less indeed than our annual expenditure, including interest of Debt and Sinking Fund; but we must not forget that the last quarter's Revenue gives a surplus of 1,300,0001. over the charges on the Consolidated Fund, thereby re ducing the issue of Exchequer Bills to that amount. _ If we may here compare small things with great, it is not. a❑ unimportant fact that the re ceipts at the Birmingham] Musical Festival ex ceeded 9000/., clearly illustrative of the increas ing welfare of that town, so closely connected with some of our most valuable Manufactures.

Probably you are nut aware the manner and plan in which these Addresses are concerted ; but 1 can tell you, and you may prove the correctness of my statement at any time, if you choose t walk for an hour or two down Oxford-street, Piccadilly, or Tottenham Court- Road: at one, two, or ni.ire shops in each of these streets. . a notice—" The Address to the Queen is lvit y , here for signatures," is hung out at the dour, ass - a Sign ---of what—that the Address is obliged to beg for sit:natures ; and then how is it signed - ? If Jail Ketch walks down Tot t enbankcon rt-road, he can go in and sign the Address to the Queen ; as he conies hack he has only to slouch his hat,and arrange his dress a little different, re-enter, and sign again.

[PRICE SEVENPENCE. PARLIAMENT, R 0 USE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY. THE QUEEN'S DEFENCE. [Continuation of Yesterday's Proceedings. 3.. The Marquess of LANsnowN understood the ex planation of the Noble Earl (Liverpool) to be, that their Lordships had entertained the Bill on the grounds he had stated, and called the party to the Bar. If that House was placed in the situation of having, for the convenience of its own proceed.- ings, created the parties to this bill, and placed them at its Bar he thought it was incumbent on their Lordships to ascertain in what way the case for the Bill had been got up. He could not understand how the Noble Lord could have felt any of that astonishment he had expressed. at this question not having been started before, con sidering the frequent allusion which had been made to it, both by Counsel at the Bar, and by Noble Lords in the House; and their proceed ings on Saturday had naturally raised the quas- tiou, whether this House or some unknown being. were the prosecutor ?, The case -for the defence at present was, to prove a conspiracy ; for that purpose it was necessary to establish the agency of parties, and that could not be done unless the party or principal were known. He therefore considered that this House having instituted the inquiry, could not have for its object any thing but the discovery obi truth, and it ought to ex plore it by all possible means. He could not but consider that they ought to have before theta that part of the correspondence between Colonel Brown and Mr. Powell, relating/to the abstrac tion of the witness llastelli, which he thought most important, as leading to the ascertaining of the truth in this particular. Wi4h respect to the distinction taken by his Noble _Friend (Lord Calthorpe) between a Minister of the Crown and a Minister of the King, it was one in which he could not concur. The Noble Earl was - there as the Minister of the Crown, and was only known there as such, and he felt assured that the Noble Earl himself would not submit to be consir dered in any other character. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought, that the cross-examination of Pomi ought lo proceed. It was'not fit that the regular course of the pro ceeding should be interrupted. Those who ad, i vised this measure, were answerable to the coutt try for instituting it s anti would cheerfully meet their responsibility, when the period arrived when that question was to be entered into . . The House ought, however, now to proceed in this inquiry, regularly ; and his Lordship was sure, that whatever might be said by the world, the case would be impartially determined in the re sult.—(Hear, hear!) Lord CALTHORPE objected. to. this Bill being brought in. solely. under the influence and sup port of his Majesty's Government, in preference to the personal character. and responsibility of an individual. Earl GREY had -been from the first against the Bill. 'lle thought answers ought to be given to the 'questions which her Majesty's Counsel' wished to put. As yet, it was not seen who was the principal or prosecutor. lie took it for grant ed, that where there was an agent there must be a principal, but the proof of their connection would be impossible, unless the principal were known. It was said that the Government were . the principals, for it was admitted that Colonel Brown, who was at the head of the Milan .Corn mission, was their agent. The other actors un, der that Com Mission appeared to be the subor dinate instruments of Colonel Brown. When proof then was offered of the most sharneful bri bery and corruption on the part of one of the subordinate agents, he (Earl Grey) should con sider the charge of corruption brought through the medium of agency directly home against the Government. Not to suffer then a question •to be, put, - the answer to 2shich.was of ' .vital conse quence in the consideration of this question, would, in his opinion, be at once a subversion of every principle of justice... So decided was hi 3 opinion on this subject : that if the House should decide not to suffer the question to, be .put r he was determined to submit a motion with the view to have the whole matter traced up, to its com nieticement. The Earl Of CARN4RVON contended that un der the present circumstances .the name of the principal should be disclosed, but at all events it was proper to inquire to what extent the agency had been carried. It appeared to him that the connection had been presumptively proved be tween the agent and the principal, without any teference to the Milan Commission. It was in their Lo s rdships' recollection that a witness had been compelled by a foreign Government to go to Frankfort and submit to an examination by the Minister of the King of Hanover. The Earl of LIVERPOOL was understood to ad mit that the Witness had been examined by the Hanoverian Minister, and to offer some explana tion of that transaction. The Earl of CARNARVON resumed.--The ex planation attempted by the Noble Earl was not at all satisfactory, The' Minister of Hanover was connected with others, and he (the Earl of C proper influe nce , an d that the Minister in ques tioairlnha:vdeint) contended that this was a most ini o right whatever.to interfere. It was of no consequence whether . this agent was under the direction of Ministers or not.. The presump., tion was, that he had been under that influence,.
