What happened after?—The masks surrounded us and with great difficulty we withdrew and went into a small room. Was there any thing particular in her Royal Highness's dress ?—lt was very ugly (monstreux). Here some difficulty arose with the interpreters, as to words for conveying the meaning of witness. Some Noble Lord near the bar said " indecent." Mr. BROUGHAM rose to deprecate the interference of a Judge for the put pose of putting a construction up on th e wit ness's words, which their meaning could by no means war rant—(Loori cries of Order, order !) 'I he Noble Peer expressed his regret at having mistaken the word.—(Cries of Go on, go on !) How long did you remain at Naples ?—Three or four months. Did Bergami wait at table during that time ?—He did. Did you make any other observations upon the conduct of Bergami awl the Princess during that time at Naples ?

Alter the Princess locked the door of the room o n the other side, did you hear any noise of a door opening? The Duke of Hamilton here rose, and stated that he was by no means satisfied of the accuracy eI the Interpreter. A conversation followed between th:: Noble Duke and Lords LiVerpool, Grey, amid Harrowby.when, all hough it was agreed on all hands that the Interpreter discharged his duty with exemplary skill and fidelity, it would be highly proper that an Interpreter should he provided by to-morrow whose verna cular tongue was either English or French. After the Pr incest locked your room door, did you hear any othe doo have sometimes heard the noise of a door open r on p the side of tbe Princess, but I do not know if it was the Princess's room.

Mr. Brougham here observed, that he had no objection to the question, though it was most irregular. If it was their Lordships' pleasure to hear the ladylike opinions of this chain ber-rnaid, it was no business of his. The Solicitor-General sail—" Well then, I will ask whe ther the Countess's habits were those of a gentlewoman ?"

EDITOR-It is an old, though homely saying, that 46 when rogues fall out honest men come by their own ! " In like manner, but cer tainly without any roguish allusion, I may say that when WHIGS differ, then MINISTERS may expect to find justice done to them. Never in deed has this been more clearly proved than in the Two LETTERS which occupy great part of the fourth page of your Paper (Aug. 15th,) written, yet evidently not in unison nor in con cert, by two leading instruments of the Whig band ! 44 Organs" I think they talk of, though some who have no taste for those discords in sharps and flats, may perhaps rather think of penny whistles and twopenny trumpets to be picked up at the old Wig Shops of Long-lane or Rag Fair. The first in position, though not in absolute chronology, is from a young Lord to an old Saint, in reference to a former between the same personages, some parts of which his Lordship candidly acknowledges, " are not clearly stated from the haste with which I wrote it." So then, Mr. Editor, the British public, for it was to them rather than to Mr. Wilberforce, that Letter was addressed, the British public are to form opinions, a y e and to act upon those opinions—upon this sym phony to the Grand Concerto, although so has tily composed, that some of his Lordship's crot chets were placed perhaps as notes of anticipa tion, when they really were the key note to his wishes, or else mere slurs to fill up what otherwise would have been bar rests for his second fiddle ! But h e " did not intend to write as the or g an of the Whig party!" N o indeed ; that party have been grinding their organ, and dancing their pup pets, with Madame Catherinabesides,.at so many fairs, Hackney, Brentford, Hammersmith, Black heath, &c. &c. that a regular showman would be almost ashamed to dance his dogs to their music ! But his Lordship, if not the organ itself, may be a stop in that organ—a Fifteenth, if not a Principal, or perhaps, in these days of exquisite taste, a Dulciana That indeed is a stop of little " Power," but I even doubt whether the other stops of the Whig instrument have got either more power or " Influence." Moral influ ence is indeed talked of ! The Whig School of morality'! ! But Sir, whether organ or not, can Lord John Russel ever accuse the Ministers aparamount or corrupt influence in the Houses of Peers or Commons, after that it is acknowledged to be " impossible for any one who has attended to the political history of England, for the last five . years "his Lordship's political lustrum " not to see that both influence and power have resided, not with Lord Liverpool or Lord Castlereagh, but with a body of Gentlemen in the House of Commons usually supporting, Lut sometimes opposing the Ministry !" There Mr. Editor, nib your spectacles, if you wear them, again and read it ! See there six lines, but in words that deserve to be written in gold, or cut deep in the hardest marble,—see there the incorruptibility of the Legislature, the independence - -'of - the House of Commons, :the constitutional deference of Ministers:--in short, as true and beautiful an eulogium upon the principles and practice of the British Constitu tion as its most ardent admirers, or the most de termined Pittites can possibly wish for !! ! But if I agree with his Lordship in that, I must still deny the assertion that Lord CASTLEKEAGH was obliged to postpone the appointment of the Secret Committee—that is, in the sense there put. Lord CASTLEREAGH saw that the great propor tion of the House were anxious to try at some middle course, if possible—a wish in which I be lieve his Lordship joined sincerely, however lie might doubt the efficacy of any such attempt:— He strove not therefore to baulk the trial, but yielded gracefully, and spewed that it was-not the Minister's House of Commons but the House of Commons of the People ! The vote, in which his Lordship joined, implied no dereliction of principle on the part of Ministers ; no judgment on the real merits of the question—but of that, more anon ;—at present I shall leave Lord . Joan to study his' Bible with a wish that, in future, he will give to us more of MATT. and less of ! Next -comes something from an Oan what a dust there is about old IVhigs--- , ,vhich some folks jocularly term " Ti ERNEY'S memorial." The writer seems rather afraid, lest Lord JOHN should really be considered as the organ of that party who now, as ever, boast of what they would do if in power. No doubt ! They seemed eager enough to come into power upon a prin ciple that would have made them prosecutors in a case from which Ministers must have previously shrunk, and yet now they have the hardihood to accuse the cabinet of weakness—wickedness almost,' pusillanimity, &c. &c. That the Letter takes a very fair, candid, im -partial, and clearly intelligible view of the queF,- don as between the KING, QUEEN, and People of Britain, I acknowledge with very great plea sure. It is pleasing to see such a display of sound sense and of just ratiocination—nay, it is even the more extraordinary when coupled with such Opposition Humbug, for I cannot give it a more appropriate name, in the endeavour to throw blame upon Ministers for doing that which the Old Whig acknowledges Opposition would have done, with the only difference, that I can tied out, that they would have tried that silly proposition about the Royal Marriage Act, as an ex-post facto law, or else they would have tried the charge before bring- ing in the 13111! BUT now WOULD THEY HAVE TRI ED IT ? In what Court : 2 If in Parliament, Upon what principle Sir, I defy them to spew any thing either of precedent or analogy in the Constituti6n, His tory, Common Law, Statute Law, Law of Par liament, or Laws of Common Sense of BRITAIN, that will bear them out in this assertion. 'Tis futile, 'tis worse than futile, for it is deceptive. The cry about " Green Bags," is really too absurd. The Old Whig acknowledges that he would have acted upon its contents—why their all the Wooden and Wafthmanic nonsense about its colour ! But I exceed your limits,—with one point then I shall conclude. That letter is evi dently written to excuse, in the eyes of the peo ple, the readiness with which the Whigs volun teered to take up that accusation which, it was rumoured, Ministers were unwilling to pursue— one part, however, is intended for another eye and ear, but it will fail to convince his Mt- JESTY that Ministers manifested any derelictiou of duty, in joining . in a vote, expressing that the proceedings now in progress must be " deroga tory to the dignity of the Crown, and injurious to the best interests of the Empire." - The fact simply is, that particularly consider ing how the affair has been made a party and a radical question--the fact is, that whether Guilt or Innocence shall be substantiated, the pro ceeding must be attended with the evils recited ; but to quash the proceedings, or not to have commenced them, would have been attend. ed with consequences infinitely more- prejudi cial. Ministers have adopted the •least of two evils—but their doing so; and acknowled ing the evil, is neither slur upon their character nor dereliction of their duty. A majority of the House of Commons wished to try a -middle course—Ministers waived all objections to it, finding that if it were successful upon the prin ciple offered by the House, they would even then arrive at that middle course which They had before attempted, and in which they • Would, am of opinion, have succeeded, provided a certain person had done his duty in transmitting their offers ; but was that an attempt on the part of Ministers to shrink from the plain pail► before them, or did it form any part of an attempt to throw odium from themselves upon an Illus trious Personage? Besides, what odium ? The Letter acknowledges that there can be tiO odium at all in the business—at least the Whigs would have submitted to it to get into power ! Sir, all the fine things which they would have done, have been done, as far as consistent with Constitutional propriety—so that I have now only to notice that extraordinary Letter from the itutlandshire Baronet, of which I can Only say, that there must be an error in the superscription. He says to the person addressed, that he left the Queen in ignorance of all things after the King's demise, and allowed her to believe herself de serted—but instead of addressing that, to .Lord LIVERPOOL, pray ought it not to have been to Mr. BROUGHAM ? hour's ; IGNOTUS. 7 ., The Rev. 491VI,AND HILL was last week at Manchester, ajid preached at the Chapels there, in aid of the tandon Missionary Society. Th e collections made at the doors amounted to up wards of six hundred pounds.
