The probability, not to say truth, of this statement, is confirmed by the detection and conviction of a creature of this description some time ago, and who really thought he was serving Government by posting up infamous placards, and attributing them to that class of people who are generally called Radicals.—(ibict.) [Morning Post.] THE QUEEN.—The cross-examination of Lieut. FLYNN was yesterday resumed ; and as the pub lic, after hearing so much about the abominations of Italian witnesses, must find it quite delightful and refreshing to read the testimony of a British subject, we invite their particular attention to the clear and consistent evidence of this her Ma jesty's principal witness. According to this Gen tleman, examined on his oath, a person of the name of Pasquielh was his servant, and was not his servant. Ile did not know to what country the man belonged, but afterwards he swears him to be an Italian. He swears that he wrote a par ticular paper in English, and then it turns out to be written in Italian. Ile states a certain docu ment to be in his own hand-writing, next de clares it to be in that of Pasquielli, and lastly in that of Schavini. He swears that he did not see Bcrgami in the tent with the Queen, admitting at the same time, that the night was so dark nothing could be seen, there being no light in the tent ; while the glimmering stated to have been derived from the binnacle, only serves to chew the " darkness" of the tent " more visible." Though he knew the situa tion of Bergami's bed when outward bound, he could not tell where he slept during the whole of the homeward voyage, while he could point out very accurately where all the rest of her Majes ty's suite were bestowed. But it would be idle to attempt to follow him throughout the whole of his remarkable cross-examination. What we have here selected, it will be seen, are only a few of the numberless statements from this worthy witness—all, as it seems to us, being equally en titled to credit. lie admits that for his services in the polacca he was promised a pension of 2001. per annum; and. acknowledges to have received in three equal payments the sum of 600 dollars. [Morning Chronicle.] The EXAMINATION of Lieut. FLYNN was con chided yesterday. %Vm. Carrington was then shortly re-examined, and some progress was made in the examivation of Lieut. flownam.—" Na tions," says a Ministerial Paper of yesterday, " are hot to be brought to the verge of civil com motion for the sake of gratifying a petty con temptible turn for scandal." This, to be sure, comes with a good grace from a Treasury Jour nal. They certainly ought not to be brought to the verge of civil commotion for any such cause. But why then has the peace, of this nation been so rashly endangered ? Why have Ministers been so unmindful of the great trust reposed in them as to lend a ready ear to the tales of-scandal, in which the proceedings against the Queen are said to - have originated, and to attach more importance to them than to the safety of the country ? Why, if they have had no hand themselves in the in vention and propagation of these tales of scandal, did they either form such a false estimate of their importance, as compared with the peace and welfare of the country, or if they enter tained sounder views, sacrifice their opinions on the shrine of unworthy subserviency ? In the pre sent state of the representation of this country, the responsibility of Ministers is, we know, next to a mockery ; but if Ministerial responsibility were any thing but a name, they ought not to be al lowed to shelter themselves under the-pretended circulation of tales of scandal. It was their duty to refuse compliance with the wishes of their Royal Master, if they ever found such compli ance incompatible with the duty they owed to their country, and to abandon their places if they could not hold them with honour. We are taught to believe that Govermnent is a trust for the benefit of the people ; but it will be difficult to shew in what manner either the people or Sove reign of this country could be benefited by the late conduct of Government. REMARKABLE COINCIDENCII.—The Ticket No. 3645, drawn on Thursday last a Prize of 10,0001. has been a Capital in three different Lotteries, within the last three years, viz. on the sth De cember, 1817, it was drawn a Prize of 20,2101., and then sold in Shares by Bisn ; on the 23d March it was drawn a Prize a 2001., and then sold in Shares by Bisn ; and on ThurAav last this same Number was drawn a, Prize of 10,0001. Money, and was again sold b.! Bisu. It is also a curious circumstance, that, im a Lottery drawn o n a plan similar to the present, Where the Blanks drawn on the first day were afterwards re-drawn, this identical Number, haying. been drawn a Blank on the iir3t day, was re-drawn on the second day of the same Lottery, a Prize of 00,0001.! The 90th Regiment, under orders for foreign service, have embarked at Plymouth, on board transports, for Malta. [PRICE SEVENPENEF. BOW-STREET, OCT. 10. SECOND WARRANT AGAINST WM. FRANKLIN, FOR FORGING AND TITTERING SEDITIOUS LIBELS, About one o'clock this day Mr. Pearson ap peared at the Office, and applied for a warrant against the anthor and distributor of a most in flammatory and seditious libel, tending to excite disaffection and rebellion. He begged leave to hand the bill to their Worships : it was dated hi 1818, on occasion of the Elections in Westmin ster and London, which returned Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Waithman to Parliament. After an allusion to the execution of Brandreth and others in Derby for High Treason, it contai•ted these words, on which he particularly fou.rded his application :—" Strike not at all, or strike home. Think of our personal insupportable ser vitude ; and always remember that the alterna tive is, liberty or a glorious grave." Mr. Birnie {running his eye along the placard) You don't mean to prosecute for election .squibs, surely ? Pearson.—l don't consider that by any means an election squib. It was newer intended for an election squib. It was written at the time of a general election ; but its object was to excite resistance to the Government by force. Mr. Birnie.—Rave you seen this, Sir Robert ? Sir Robert Baker.—Yes ; it is two years ago. Mr. Pearson.—lt is, Sir Robert ; but it is one of a series of more than thirty, which I can trace to the same source. I take that at present, be cause the proof is more ready than of any of the others. Mr. Birnie.—ls it against the same person ? Mr. Pearson.—lt is against the same person. Mr. Birnie.—ls not one warrant sufficient ? • Mr. Pearson.—l apply for this warrant, that we may have one to proceed on, if the other should go to another quarter. Sir Robert baker.—Why has the proceeding been delayed so long ? Mr. Pearson.—Because the person could not be found. Rewards were offered in the City for the apprehension of the author, and a prosecu tion was instituted, but he could not be found. Sir Francis Burdett, too, offered a reward for his apprehension. Your Worships may re . c9llect the apprehension of bill-stickers on that occasion ; but they could not trace their employer. Mr. Birnie.—Then you ought to apply in ir e City : we have nothing to do with it. Mr. Pearson.—The venue of this offence is in Middlesex, the bill was stuck up there, and I have the bill-sticker here to prove it. Mr. Birnie.—What is the reason you have mentioned for getting a second warrant Mr. Pearson.—Because the other may be sent into the country, and I wish to have this second warrant in case there should be occasion to use it ►n the mean t►me. Mr. Birnie—(To Sir Robert Baker.)--There is no objection to granting a warrant Sir liohert Baker.—No ; he tnay have as many warrants as he can charge distinct offences. Mr. Pearson produced the bill-sticker's affida vit. Mr. Birnie directed Mr. Pearson and his wit ness to retire with the clerk, for the purpose of making out a warrant in the usual form, which was done accordingly. DELIBERATE AND ATfROCIOUS MURDERS.—Z% e have this week to record an instance of human de pravity and revenge', of which there is scarcely to he found a parallel. A man, named 'William Greentrees, was confined in our County Gaol under a charge of horse-stealing, and on Thurs day last a small basket (conveyed by a car rier) was - received at the gaol, addressed to this prisoner, purporting to have been sent from his native place, lowland Castle, Hants. This fatal package contained bacon, cheese, apples, onions, a pair of worsted stockings, and a small plum-pudding, highly flavoured and full of plums. The unfortunate victim of this infer nal scheme, tempted by the appearance of the pudding,immediately partook of the same, and of fered a portion to his fellow-prisoners ; fortu nately they had but just dined, and one only, a young man named William Hearn, partook of the deadly food. lie had 'scarcely swallowed the 'deceitful morsel, when feeling an unusual degree of heat arise in his throat, he immediate; y exclahned—" I am sure there is poison in this pudding." Greentrees, who had eaten the first piece, now began to vomit most violently, and Ilearn was soon affected in' a similar manner. The surgeon instantly administered antidotes, but so powerful were the effects of the poison, that Greentrees, after experiencing the most ex cruciating agony, expired on Friday evening, and Hearn breathed his last late on Sunday evening... The former was 48 years of age, the latter '2l. A small portion of the pudding was shortly after given to a hen, which soon began to vomit, and died in about four hours afterwards. The re mainder of the pudding was analyzed, and found to contain a large quantity of arsenic. A Coro ner's Inquest was held yesterday at the gaol, before 3. N. DcoLow, Esq., on the bodies of the two unfortunate men. Verdict—" Wilful Murder against some person or persons un known." We had hoped that seine evidence would have been adduced on the inquest, so as to afford some clue for the apprehension of the perpetrators of this diabolical act, but nothing came out hi the least to criminate any one, so that at present this horrid deed remains iniolved in the greatest r,)) . stery,-(iVaid.stone Oct. 10.) LONDON JOURNALS. [DAILY EXTRACTS.] FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. [New Times.] The fainting awry] of Lieutenant FLYNN will remain on record like the memorable scream of her Majesty, as a very remarkable feature in the remarkable proceeding which now occupies public attention. We did not think it advisable yester day to make the least remark on Mr. Flynn's exa mination of the preceding day ; though we must say, that from its complexion we were fully pre .pared for the sort of termination to which it af terwards led. The particular incident which peoduced so dramatic an effect, we of course could not anticipate. We could not conceive that a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy of England would reduce himself to the melancholy situ:aim/ A in which Mr. Flynn yesterday appeared before the House of Lords. It must be remembered that on Monday Lieut. Flynn desired to refresh his memory by looking at certain memoranda: and this, after some debate, was allowed, on the ground thus stated by the Lord CHANCELLOR from Phillips's Law of Evidence—" To assist his memory a witness may use a written entry in a book or a memorandum, or a copy of a memo randum, such entry or memorandum having been made at the time when the fact occurred or imme diately afterwards." Several questions were then asked bim as to what his memoranda were and when made. Among others the following question and answer occurred—it being admitted that the papers in the witness's hand were no originals : Then you mean to say that those copies were made in Sicily ?—No, on my voyage on board a ship." Yesterday morning the cross-examination was resumed ; and after many questions relative to the person who wrote the originals and the copies, and the language in which they were written, the Solicitor-General came to the following point:— 44 Did you not tell me it was written in Ita lian ?—(After a pause.)—Yes. " And now you tell me it was written partly in Italian and partly in English ?" " On this question being propounded to the witness (says a Cotetnporary), he appeared to tally stupified and incapable of giving an answer. He stared vacantly for a few seconds, and then by some extraordinary and fortuitous impulse, ainted away! The gentlemen near him caught him before he fell to the ground, and conveyed him out of the House. The effect produced by this accident w:l,s extremely peculiar. The Peers seemed astonished, the Counsel gazed at each other, as Lost in surprise," &c. &c. [The Tunes.] Yesterday's PROCEEDINGS ID the LORDS were less animated, but equally satisfactory with those of the antecedent days. Lieutenant Flynn, and Carrington, Sir William Gell's servant, were cross-examined ; and Lieutenant Hownam under went a part of his examination in chief. With respect to Mr. Flynn, we may observe, that it would be hard to expect from every brave man that he should also be an accurate speaker and a correct thinker; but an unusual obscurity of thought or expression prevailed in this Gentle man's evidence, both in his direct and cross-exa minations. it was, however, gratifying to find, that, wherever a precise idea could not be got from him, it was not only favourable to her Ma jesty, but at once explicative and confirmatory of his first examination. Of the severity with which he was cross-examined a notion may be formed when we tell the public, that even on by questions, such as the position and size of the binnacle, the manner of keeping the log, the time and place of making his extracts, &c. &c., no less than four hours were spent ; and the poor man, unused to such a situation, and but little habituated, from his habits of life, to a sulphu reously hot room, fainted away. Yet, even from undergoing such an ordeal, nothing whatever af fecting his first evidence could be extracted ; and the filthy invention of the high-fed Italian, that her Majesty and Bergami slept within sight of each other, remains perfectly refuted. Indeed the refu tation was never revived or touched upon yesterday. We must add, that two facts of high importance were distinctly sworn to by Lieut. Flynn : Ist. That he never saw Bergami under the tent, on the deck of the polacca, any one night during the voyage from Jaffa to Sicily ; 2d. That it would have been impossible to get the Queen's bathing-tub into her Majesty's bed-room below, the sofa coming too near the door to admit more than half the tub within that particular cabin. Carrington's cross-examination was more than gratifying ; it was triumphant, not only as af fecting the Queen's case, but as establishing also his own honest conduct and unblemished charac ter through life, " even from his boyish days." The House was evidently affected as well as de- Ilighted by this man's examination. Lieutenant Hownam was then called, and continued under examinatio , till four o'clock. The examination at Bow-street, on Monday, on the fabrication of seditious bills, took an un expected turn. Mr. Pearson demanded and ob tained warrants for the author of bills of this na ture, some of which were published two years ago, the criminality of which attached to that person whom one of the Bow-street Justices has suffered to escape.
