LONDON JOURNALS. TDAILI'EXTILICTS , J FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS. [Morning Post.] 'TRIAL OF THE QUEEN.—The third Witness , : against her Majesty, the Captain of a Polacca,• in -which the celebrated voyage was performed ( Vincenzo Gziergilo), was examined yesterday. Ills testimony, it *ill be seen, was very strong ; infinitely more so than that of the Mate of the ' vessel, who was examined on the preceding day; tut we cannot bring `ourselves to offer any re 'marks upon so disgusting a subject. Theodore .Majocci was again called for the defence, and .nuderwcnt a farther examination, ill conse quence, we understand, of an uncommonly iano- rant letter received by Alderman Wood from loncester. The questions put to him were, : whether he had stated to a Mr. J ohnson, or any one, that he was on his way to •glve evidence againsf the Queen, and that he ex 'rected the result of his deposing against her -.would be very advantageous to him. To every question on this point ; the :witness positively af tivmed that he had never .wade nny such statement; that he had never held any discourse with any one on the subject ; and, finally, that he did not .kuow any person of that name. On appearing at the Bar, Theodore addressed their Lordships and said, " that if they found any thing false in his evidence, he gave them leave ito cut off his head." Mr. Brougham very. candidly .stated to .their Lordships, that, the course he- had taken, he did not mean to imply that any place was ever offered to Majocci by any one. Chron . icle.l We - concelie we discharge our duty to the public in giving therm as fair and full an account as we an of the proceedings- each . day •in the louse of Lords, and in connuonting on that evi dence, or .pronouncing any 'opinion' in the 'present .stage of these proceedings, we conceive we should not be doing our duty. it would have been bet ter, no doubt, that ,the proceedings had never commenced ; and if ever, they. should come to a close, apd many suppose they never will, the ob jections to the consequences which it is proposed they should have, still remain. But these are considerations distinct from.o that of her Majesty's Ntving,or not having committed the acts imputed to her. This can only ,be determined by evi- C.l,ence. ; l and till, the whole of that Ovideuce be heard,, it is, impossible to for;][-Ca correct opinion respecting the part before the public. We may have our own suspicions and our readers no doubt have their suspiciOns; - but it is hardly fair to give suspicions for certainties. 'lt is the less necessary to point the attention of the public to the particular features of this evidence, as there never was a case watched with so intense an.in. West, and of .which every gradation of proo was so distinctly marked. ~ ?i~ [New Times.i .• ' The House of Lords has shown its strict ad herence to the prineiples of justice by providing , that its ptivileges shall interpose no bar, to, the prosecution of any witnesses who may commit perjory, in the course of,the pnelitp e ; investigation. straies us, -but we submit 4119 i idea conside , Tation with great diftidence r t*t soma similar t .,Rrecaution,might be taken by the f ijouse of Com .-IitIODS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR this morning came into the House a few minutes before ten o'clock, after which prayers were as usual read by the 'Lord Bishop of LAsnArz.--Previous to the roll Lefeg dined over, Lord ELLENBOROUGLI said, that he had now to Couplain of the improper use which bad been • made of the 'name of Lord Stewart 'by a rublie Journal. The Noble Lord was stated to have seen i\lajocci at Vienna, and that Majocci was enter tained for six months at his Lordship's house. How such a base and gross misrepresentation could have been possibly contrived, he did not know, because it was well known, that at the very time alluded to, Lord Stewart was in Lon don on a particular business, namely, to have his marriage with Lady Emily Vane Tempest fully arranged and accomplished. Besides, Majocci was in the service of the Marquess Odescalchi. He (Lord Ellenborough) did not mean to, by any means, insinuate, that it was not the duty of a pub- lie servant abroad to render every possible service which mi . ght bo of benefit to the Government of the Country, but he must say that in this in stance an insinuation had been thrown out on the character of Lord Stewart,'which was as false as it was base.—(Hear, hear !)--He had felt it his duty to make these observations, as the falsity of the charge was too obvious to be passed over. On the roll being called over, at apology was offered for Lord SONDES, on the ground of ,ndisposition. Lord LIVERPOOL contended, that it would. be most impfoper to permit occasional indisposition to be an apology during the investigation of this most important and vitally interesting question. No such excuse was indeed tenable, considering that the evidence was published every day, and could therefore be furnished to every one of their Lordships._ Lord GnEY deprecated in the strongest terms, the very idea of' compelling any one of 'their Lordship, to vote on the first question. Lords &pox and ERMINE agreed in the opi nion of Earl Grey, and considered such compul sion to be totally uncalled for. At a quarter past ten, the Counsel were called in, when Mr. L ui and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL severally complained of some gross misrepre sentations in The Times newspaper. Mr. BROUGHAM particularly 'Complained' of - a misrepresentation respecting the cross-examina tion of Theodore Majocci. in the discharge of that important dtity which lie owed to his Illus.- &lout Client, and he might also add, to the Pub lic, he had •felt it his bounden duty to call back that witness, and to put to him several questions. In a case of such importance, it was peculiarly desirableA since publicity had been given to the proceedings, to have a correct statement go forth to the world, and therefOre the slightest misre presentation was much ..to be. deprecated, consi dering the, effect it:might, have •on the public mind; already too much agitated.—(llear, hear, hear !) The Earl of LAUDERDALE also complained; of the misrepresentations ,Which the Public Press daily issued, and Whichtended in no inconsiderable degree to excite a general ferment. He more par ticularlyalluded to a publication in a cheap form, entitled " A Peep at the Peers," and strongly condemned the falsehoods which that contained. It reflected in the strongest terms on hii character, representing himself and relations to be pensioners of Government, a thing which was too well known to be false to require any refutation. The LORD CIiAI , idELLOII ,alsO "condemned the publication of such falsehoocis. Ue had also his share of ,abuse in :the' publication al- hided to—but he suggested Whether. it might not be proper at present .to drop. any comment on the Public Press. The better, may would, perhaps, be to - .make 'these coMplaintS the sub ject of investigation at a future .perioiL : Francisco Boriado was again called in and examined.—Does not remember any - thing parti cular in' the' cenduct of the PriocesS at Eplie , sus or Scala Nova:.

By Lord LAUDEIID4LE-13ergami in scolding him said," What brings you here, and how dare yon r open the doer." Here the examination concluded—and - Captain PECHELL was then called in. His examination was going on when our Reporter left the House, at half-past one o'clock. It must tie admitted that; whatever may be the result of the present lamentable Investigation in the House of Lords, no blame can be attached to Government for bringing it forward. . THE QUEEN had such oilers to induce her to remain abroad as would probably have satisfied her, if she had not been treacherously tempted, not by the mere vanity of her Advisers, but by interested machinations, as gross as any stock; jobbing trans action on 'record.---The only Conspiracy, that we have heard; is not, as The Old 'Times has averred, a Conspiracy on the part of Government to effect her. destruction, bit a Conspiracy to render her .the dupe of pecuniary artifices, which, according to:report, have been successful to a vast amount. There is something so base in these schemes that we trust they will be explored to the bottoin. The guilt or innocence of Tut QuEEN were evidently matters of indifference with those atrocious speculators to whom she fell a victim on this melancholy occasion. But wh en we say she fell a victim, we presume not to offer any conjectures on her innocence or guilt, but merely to slim how far she has been renderedd - a dupe by the base corruption , -of those by Ay:lose counsel she was ensnared. The vile Pect44iaxy plots by which she was seduced back, to this Country, having been as successful as could be expected, ivere then combined with vanity, and these arts- were put In pra.btice to delude the multitude as much as Tux QUEEN--,perhaps for the double purpose of coverinst the - original ma , 'chination under the parade of pseudo.popularity. We have been desired by many of,our Readers to include the w'hole of what The Old Times says every day on the subject of the awful Trial now on foot among our Daily Extracts from the London Journals, as quite surncient to expose and degrade its Character in the eyes of man kind. We do not,'however` deefit it necessary to load our Paper with such 'Avia-e'd trash. That Paper has more than insinuated that Ministers have entered into a Conspificy to ruin TUE QUEEN. If Alinisters can contentedly acquiesce in sue!) ,a charge, all people will be surprized at their negligence under so heavy an imputation. We shall merely select passages from the Paper in question, and leave the Public to decide on its conduct, particularly in its treatment of, the Wit nesses. This day The Old Times says, " We be lieve we may DOW say this most atrocious Conspi racy against the QUEEN of ENGLAND has, like that of 1806, received its death-blow by the detections and exatninationS'of yesterday." It is to be ob . served' that only four witnesses have been 4 x &mined, and that they are agreed in importan de , tails,yet The Times already decides ou the whole case!! It says also—" We have no hesitation whatever in saying, that. if the Ministers and Law Qicers of the Crown, knew of; and ac quiescqd iii, Majocti 4 s concealments, they ought to be impeached forthwith as reading members in tliWcolaspiracy ; for let it- be -recollected, that her not "Ottly Queen Consort, but also at ; no Ner v y great distance‘ili the: direct line 'of sucessiotr."---We hope the Ministers and .Law Off i cers Orthe , Crown will'uot be wanting n. zeal tolexempt -themselves .from the danger with which they-are thus menaced by The Times, and to acquiEthOnselt:es in the eyes of mankind. Speaking of- the Italian. witnesses,. it says, " I f any thing cautd bind creatures ,of this descrip tion." The, gate .of the i-esset fiein Messina is styled a " shabby Italian." Nowouppose the witnesses 'brought in - favour of the QUEEN should be Italians, what will The Time say :the truth is, that it is bewildered in its own malignity, and does not foresee the dilemma•in which it will in volve itself. The Marquess of ANGLF.SEY is asked this day, by the most illiberal, scurrilous, and factious Journal of the Metropolis,'" 'How did he come by his present wife ;'." We are unwilling to follow so liespiCable,an example, or wanton ma levolence, but we may ask if there is not an Op position Veer who obtained his in a - similar manner, and if 'that wife has been as'unexcep tionable in her conduct since her second union as the Marquess's'consort has during her's ?--)Ve might also ask which of,the.husbands bas.deriVed most pecuniary advantage by the matrimonial transfer? SECOND EDITION. SUN-OFFICE, Half-Pagt Four. —is.— HOUSE OF LORDS.—(TH IS E _VENING) After the examination of Captain PEctiELD and Captain BRIGGS, on board whose vessels he . PRINCESS and her suite were, and where he arrangements previously made, were a' ered at the desire of the PRINCESS, in order to place BERGAMI in a room near her own bed• chamber; and the examination of another Wit' ness, a German woman was called, who was 3 servant at the Inn at Carlstube, where the Pitt N. CESS, BEIIGAMI, and her Suite were lodged. This woman, on going into a bed-room, saw the Pal,N CESS and BERGAMI in the bed, the former partlf. undressed, having his arm round the.PßlNcEss' neck. On the Witness entering the room, the PRINCESS rose up, and BERG HMl's arm drop' ped from her neck. An objection by tile! ishop of PETERSBOROUGH, was taken, and the Earl of IroprrouN, to the mode of interpret', ing this answer by the German Interpreter, showing , that he did not sufileiently understaoit: ';i7,nglish, and after some discussion it was agree (/ ' . hat another Interpreter should be procured. 111 the mean time, the evidence & this witness ll suspended, and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL deClii' in; to call another witness, while the former - wi t ' ness was under examination. he House ads' ourned at four o'clock till to-marrow at ten• The,QUEEN qui4e4.the Howe in some tion on the answer -above meDtioned 7 /Ix l4 given by the German woman., Her IIAJF.4 retired to her apartment, and went au-ay s - ,- • • ime before four, to the disappointment cP great number of pthons, who were flocking den o the Ilouse till five, in the expectation of ser ng Her.
