LONDON JOURNALS. is the most imPortant and serious that has ,been delivered since the commencement of these pro ceedings. This I,,ady, as. it has been seen,. was chainbi.c,* or principal waiting woman, to the Prineesi of Wales, and being for a consi derable length of time constantly about the person of her ItoYal Highness, had, of course, many op portunities of noticing her conduct. She arrays against her Royal Mistress many circumstances which,we hope, vill be satisfactorily explained,but which it cannot be denied are, in their present state, of a very suspicious nature. Important, therefore, though the proceedings of. yesterday were, they must be far exceeded in interest by what may be expected to occur this day, when Madame Dumont will undergo the perilous or- deal of Mr. Brougham's cross-examination. dors, •cabinets, and across staircases, to travel from Bergami's room .to that of th o Princess-, in the several - houses in which they slept. There — is another point, however ; which we would teCom mend to attention. It is not likely that men diS charging their duties with such zealous fidelity as the Attorney and Solicitor-General should pursue a train of investigation merely to come at suchreSults as those above intimated. We will take an exam-. ple. A long preparatory series of que - stions cal culated to exhibit the relative positions' of the Princess's and Bergand's rooms, and leading, 'is might be expected, to senile important result, ends with this inquiry—" Did it ever happen rafter her Royal highness had accompanied you from her bedroom through two rooms, to lock the Outer door) that liergami was left inside?" AnsWer,'No.' Did the Counsel, we ask, pursue such a course of inquiry, to come at such an answer as that ? We boldly answer' No,' too. Is it not then obvious; tht the source from whence he drew his instructions— the Green Bag—is false ? And is it upon autho rity_ like this that a Bill of Pains and Penalties, and Divorce, is to be introduced against the Queen of England ? t is not once or twice only,but incessantly that inquiries pursued through a long train thus terminate in nullities. Sometimes; no doubt, the Italian witnesses swear up to the apparent expectation of the interrogating Counsel, and they are now sworn on a book with a cross upon it ; as usually they fail him. But there are no previous depositions forthcoming or producible in this case, as in all other criminal. cases, with which - the' evidence now given can be contrasted to the confusion .of the witness. 'However, M. Dumont's cross-examination . commences to-day. - EAST INDIA BOVSE, Aug. 30, 1.520. • HE RS COURT of DIRECTO of the - t 'NITED COMPANY of'MEltt HANTS of ENGLAND ' 4I) ING to the EAST INDIE, do hereby gire•Nutiee, l'at QUARTERLY GENERAL couRT of the said - 1 7, I PANY appointed to he laeldrat'their House, in Leaden :4lstreet, on WEDNESDAY, the 27th SepteMber next, 1 401de special for the purpose of laying before the Proprie t' .v pr fo r their approbation, two Resolutions of the Court of ` t : re Ct9ls Of th e 2d instant, granting, under the circumstances " ere in stated, a P ens i on o f 10001. p er A nn um, to Mr. It.

For the reputation .of our native land - we affirm, and we truly affirms that it is false. The dames, of England who have charac ters do not - pay their respetts to station by min gling with pickpockets and brawling ruffians. If they thought it right to pay homage to their So= vereign they would perform it in a proper way. ' They would wait upon her—visit her—invite her—not mix with harlots in the streets, and ex pose themselves to all the ribald obscenity • which it is impossible to avoid hearing amid the rabble. The women of this Country, as well as the men, have courage enough to stand forward with their honest sentiments, and were they what has been ascribed to them, they would not skulk among nutnbers to - hide them. It is only disgraceful opinions that seek such a concealment ; truth and honour are proud of individual distinction. And are we to. be told now that a slight sprinkling of Well-dressed people impart any impression ofre spectability to 'a mob. Even without the impulse of curiosity there are tens of thousands of dashing females to be had as gazers and wavers of hand kerchiefs upon any sight. The pageant of car riages, the view of 01 the Peers of England, the opportunity' (so dear to the vulgar) of hallooing and hissing at those of a higher class—all these are attractions 'which, in ~such a place as: the metropolis, would con g regate. crowds from January to December, independently of the fiercer and more MiSchievous impulse of faction ; and as a rape is so charming a zone, that it me tamorphoses a highwayman into au Adonis,. even so does the very atrocity of the allegations against the principal Personagc ins this exhibi tion render her the greater object of popular wonder. It is quite a new thing for John Bull to . see a Queen tried for adulterous intercourse— may he live long before he see such a thing again ! and while applauded Majesty passes hi review, it is .afflicting to hear the very scum des canting on the matters which have appeared in evidence, asking each other indecent questions, laughing at obscene answers, and loudly describ ing scenes which it is pollution to think upon. — Dreadful is the moral injury which the nation suffers ; and for'this it has to thank a daring effrontery and absolute folly, which have been induced by a set of the most infamous and dia bolical wretches that ever disgraced the name of man. bj e ct ussia igt)St t the vieW• went orris? past three ~anal r y of ' [New.

The advises of yesterday from Palermo we're dated August 5, at which time the invitation of the Palermitans to the-rest of the Island, to unite for the attainment of indepen-• dence, had been circulated throughout Sicily, and. the answers of the different cities and dis-7 tricts had been transmitted to the Provisional Junta at Palermo. With the exception of Mes sina and Trapani, there appeared no hesitation, in any quarter, in acceding to the wish of the Palermitans. The Neapolitan garrisons were im mediately disarmed, and Provisional Authorities appointed. Even at Messina, though. the propo sal was promptly rejected, the cause was rather *believed to be the influence of persons holding: official situations there, who were all under the immediate controul of Naples, than the generai wish of the people. No doubt was entertain - ed. at Palermo that the appearance of a military force under the walls of Messina, which had been' actually appointed for that purpose, by furnish ing an excuse to the people of that city for a sur render, would produce an immediate acquiescence in their views. The good-will of Trapani to the general cause was more doubtful, and, a detertni-: nation had consequently been adopted to reduce the place by force: a division of the troops had already marched for that destination, and its sur render was hourly expected. The Deputies sent from Palermo to Messina, among whom were Prince Belmonte and the - Marquess Gregorio, had been arrested,:and were to be detained till instructions concerning them amid be received from Naples. • The number of Neapolitan troops made prisoners at Palermo is said, in these ac counts, to amount to .6000 ; it h'. 1 been prOPOsed to' exchange them for an equal number of Sicilians resident in Naples. least d go, 16014 CLEAR OF ALL DUTIES. k ' . l.° be view e d at the Tobacco Ground, Rotherhithe ; c t :' l es and P ar ki ns ' Magazine ; W arehouse an d C e ll ars, 14,: t°4 ' - nouse; Wycherly's Yard and Chester's Quay Ware 7 01 es, Lower Thames -street; and London Dock ; on Fri ists Saturday the 2d.

[horning Chronicle.] The examinatipn in chief of Mademoiselle Du mont was finished about 20 minutes before four o'clock. It still wanted nearly an hour and a half of the time at which the House usually ad journs; but it was presunried' . the . witness, inter preter, and all who had been engaged in the examination, were, froth the length of it, too fa tigued to admit of then entering on the cross examination, and, with the consent of her Ma jesty's Counsel, it was ',therefore postponed to this day. Her Majesty was not present during any part of the examination. If report speaks true, Mademoiselle Duinont is the last witness to be examined in support of the Bill. In that case the evidence for the . Bill may be got through in the course of to-day or to-morrow. . But even then it would he rash to pronounce any , opinion with respect to the amount of that evidence ; for we ought always to bear in mind, that it may be much affected by subsequent cross-examina tion, and by the evidence in behalf of her Ma jesty. It is supposed an adjournment will fol low the close of the evidence, for the Bill, and that her Maje Sty will not be allaVed to enter on her defence till all her witnesses are in this coun try. In this .case her Majesty will have great cause to complain of the hardship to which such a delay must subject her.' The circulation . of a mass of evidence for a length. of time, unaccom panied by any explanations or counter-evidence, has a natural tendency to prejudice the public mind against her. In abstaining,.as we have, all along - done, from pronouncing any opinion on the evidence, till the whole of it should be before us, we conceive most of our readers will think we have acted wisely. There are circumstances iu this cuse which cannot he affected by the evi dence, and ,on which it was as easy to form an opinion before the commencement of .pro ceedings as it will be after their close. Th e establishment of the charges against the Queen, in their fullest extent, may, for instance, form n o justification of these proceedings. But be they justifiable or unjustiable, this is a question quite. distinct from .that respecting the evidence, as to the truth or falsehood of the charges. All our contemporaries have not observed the same can- 7 tion ; but we suspect, if the truth were known, • some of them by this see cause to regret their precipitancy. [British Press.] The evidence given yesterday in the House of Lords by Madairie Dumont against the QT_!en Although ,the proceedings in the House of Lords yesterday excited a deep and general inte rest, yet we shall adhere to our-resolution of not entering minutely into the consideration of them. The character of . the witness, the credibility:of her testimony, and the consistency of berstate ments, are all topics on which we may-hereafter have occasion to expatiate at some length. But our present business is merely to reply to those who contend that ". the course of the . examina.; tion has yet proved nothing." If by- this be meant that no -• fact which has been sworn to ought in the present stage of the cause to be taken as ,proved, the assertion is a mere truism, which may be applied, to any trial before the party accused has-entered upon his defence ; for whatever number of witnesses swear one way - , it is possible that the saine . or a greater number may swear t he contrary. But this is not the intended import of the remark. It is meant to impress the public mind :with an idea, • that diSgusting and " filthy " as these " details " are,' they are quite irrelevant, that theirtruth or falsehoe‘d is immate •rial to the main issue ; and that even supposing them true, they do not afford any inference' of guilt. Now, this is certainly as contrary to laW as it is to common sense.. With. relation to the particular crime in question, law-writers have observed that " .being - an act of darkness and great secrecy, it can hardly be prov . - ed by any . direct means ;" and, therefore, in such •a, case, " presumptive evidence ;alone is • sufficient proof ;" which presumptive evi - - deuce - is . said. to he furnished by- those facts which are the usual" preludes of debauchery and of a libidinous conversation." Such is the express doctrine, such the formal rule of the law, which after all,-.pursues, in this respect, no other dictate than that natural reason, by which all mankind are guided in the common affairs of life. A man has nothing to do, in such.a question, but-to sup pose the case his own, or his neigh'bour's, -and to consider what inference he would draw from the facts stated-, in: forming. an :opinion of this kind, there are many , circumstances which alone would lead to:no certain conclusion, .but . Which taken in conjunction with others, would ten -- der the .-inferenee. from .thelatter We, remember . a case,. which occurred about nine or ten ~years ago. before the ConsiStorial Court of London, In which the very Learned Judge - who has so long ; and so ably presided in that Court, adverted to a circumstance of peculiar:. indecency - in the conduCt of the par ties, and argued. from. it. - that they-must ,have had a previous criminal _connexion, otherwise no Man would have. .dared to take, .nor , any woman have submitted .to endure so OM' a Those. of . our readers who 'have at- . tended ,to the story related . by Paulo gaz?.oot -respecting the statues of- Adam and . Eve, ,must feel that if that fact cannot be-cOntro4 verted, the reasoning of the Learned *judge ap-' plies to.,it,n -all its force. We must conclude,' by repeating our earnest hope,- that her Majesty. may disprove all the facts averred against her by the numerous-witnesses, Catholic and Protestant Italian s German, Swiss, and English; who•haire • been already. -'examined ;• we only :contend on behalf of public, morals, that the. facts ciannot be admitted without bearing on the' Neil face of them the stigma of the grossest turpitude. . . . The Rouse of Peers, it will be seen, adjourned [The Times.] yesterdayto allow M r . B r ougham to proceed through.the at an earlier hour than usual, in order cross-examination of the witness. Dumont conse cutively, and without interruption. The plain nullity of evidence is in this case almost of as much importance as the detected falsehood : it proves nearly as much with respect to the malig nity of her M a j es ty' s enem i es an d the weak ness of their resources ; . and with this view we would recommend to general attention the e xamination of yesterday. •.

Sire, it is reported that your presentMinisteri are soliciting a succour of Austrian troops. The Austrians were, are, and will be, not only the natural enemies of the Piedthontese, but of all the other people of Italy. The recollection of 1815 is not far off. Your soldiers know what is meant by having Austrians in the country, al- though as friends. They have always usurped the honour of our exploits. The Austrians are the execration of Italy. Your soldiers, Sire; will not have them but as enemies. To ask their assistance would bean insupportable insult to the honour of your soldiers; who boast , that they are . sufficient for the defence of the Throne, the Country, and the Constitution.' • VAUXHALL.--TheSe Gardens closed a most successful season on Wednesday evening.
