COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER TO NEWGATE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) The Council remained in deliberation until about half-past three o'clock. At that hour Sir Robert Peel left the Home-office by the Park entrance, and walked through the Park to Buckingham Palace. The Duke of Wellington, the Lord Chancellor, and several other Privy Councillors left by the principal entrance in Whitehall shortly before four o'clock. At that hour an immense crowd had assembled in Whitehall, and it had become necessary to send for a detachment of the A division to keep the pathway clam In order to deceive the crowd, a hackney cab was sent for, and kept waiting at the entrance in Whitehall. All eyes were immediately fixed on the vehicle, it being concluded that it was waiting to convey the prisoner to his destination. At about a quarter after four, Sir Robert Peel re turned to the Home-office from the Palace, and almost immediately afterwards a hackney-coach drew up at the garden-gate of the office. At half-past four, the prisoner entered the carriage, guarded, as in the morning, by three of the officers of justice. He did not seem the least fatigued, but was evidently anxious to avoid the public gaze, for, as soon as he entered the carriage, he threw himself back in a corner of the front seat, and pulled his hat over his brows. " Where am I to drive to ?" said the coachman. "To Newgate," was the reply of the officer, and the coachman immediately drove off through the Horse Guards, towards the City. On inquiry, we learned that the prisoner had been fully commttted to take his trial for the atrocious crime with which he stands charged. There were not more than twenty persons present when the prisoner was conveyed away in custody as above stated. The neighbourhood of Buckingham Palace was crowded to excess all the morning, and towards the middle of the day the throng of carriages was very great. 'We were at the Palace only a very short time, but during the few minutes we were there we observed the following among the inquirers :—The Marquis of Normanby, the Duke of Northumberland, the Arch bishop of Canterbury, the Marquis of Clanricarde, and several other Noblemen and Gentlemen. THE PRISONER'S RECEPTION INTO NEWGATE. At half-past four o'clock the hackney-carriage con veying the wretch arrived at the end of the Old Bailey, on Ludgate-hill, and in consequence of alte rations which were being made in the wooden-pave ment opposite Newgate, the driver pulled up there, and the prisoner descended, and walked between two of the gaolers of the House of Correction, with Lieutenant Tracy, the Governor of the prison, behind him. Although a number of idlers had congregated, viewing the repairs of the pavement, his appearance attracted not the slightest attention, so private was the whole affair kept, and he was brought into Newgate and the doors closed after him, without one person following him from the end of the Old Bailey to the prison steps. Upon entering the anti-room, or hall, his handcuffs were taken off, when he sat down on a form, and gazed with the most per fect sang-froid on the objects around him. During the time the preliminary arrangements were making pre vious to his being taken to his cell, he conversed with the gaolers with apparent indifference generally; but once or twice he asked questions in a rather ex cited manner. His sojourn here lasted a quarter of an hour, and owing to the hurry incident to his re moval, we had scarcely any opportunity of speaking with him, but he seemed rather to avoid the notice of a stranger, and averted his face. His appearance denoted neither agitation nor the slightest want of self-possession, and the only point to indicate a self-sense of the enormous and appalling crime which he contemplated, was a quickness of motion in the eye when he met the gaze of another, that might be called sinister—a sudden averting of the glance. In stature, he is considerably below the middle size, and was dressed in a dark brown frock coat and dark trowsers. His face, on the whole, is the reverse of what a physiognomist would call bad, or blood-thirsty in expression, having dark eyes, which most certainly lacked not specu lation, nor in the slightest degree indicated want of intellect, and we should say intelligence, while the other lineaments of his face were of rather a soft and mild character. His complexion was high, and that of a person in perfect health. As soon as the warrant certifying his committal from the Home-office was handed to Mr. Cope, the Governor of Newgate, by Lieutenant Tracy, he was removed to his cell, where he will be kept solitary ; but Mr. Cope intimated that there would be no unusual observance beyond any other prisoner, with respect to fettering or ironing him. On Sunday, about six o'clock, Mr. Dousbery, of No . 5, Brook-street, Holborn, who is well known to Sir Peter Laurie, requested an immediate interview with him upon a subject of great importance, and introduced to Sir Peter two brothers of the name of Pearson, re siding at No. 7, Castle -street, Holborn, one of whom stated that at two o'clock on Sunday, while the Queen and Prince Albert were returning from the 'Chapel Royal, a man pulled a pistol from under his coat and presented it at the Queen ; but whether it missed fire, or whether he relented, was not observed ; but the man cried, " I wish I had done it ; and putting his pistol under his coat he walked sulkily away into the Green-park. An elderly man who witnessed the attempt, stated that he would communicate it to the authorities, but that it was too much trouble. The elderly man, however, asked Mr. Pearson his name and address. Mr. Dousbery thinking the facts of very alarming importance, applied to Sir Peter Laurie on the subject, and Sir Peter wrote a private letter to the Honourable Mr. Murray, the Comptroller of the Household, under the impression that such matters could not be kept too secret, and that it was likely to make less noise than if communicated to the Secretary of State. The private letter was not de livered to Mr. Murray, because he was dining with her Majesty. The two Messrs. Pearson, who are printers, called on Monday morning and saw Mr. Murray, who considered the communication of so much importance that he sent Sir Peter Laurie's note to Sir J. Graham, and requested the Pearsons to call at two. o'clock ; not having kept, their appointment punctually, a message %%as sent to Sir Peter Laurie, requesting that he, would bring forward the brothers. IVilen Sir Peter went to the Home-office he found that they had arrived, and that the authorities were taking their depositions. COURT Or ALDERMEN. (THIS DAY.) • The Lord Mayor convened a Special Court of Alder men, at Guildhall, this morning, for the purpose of con sidering the late attempt on her Majesty's life. At twelve o'clock his Lordship took the Chair, but it was nearly half-past before a Court was formed. On the Court being opened, the Lord Mayor laid before them the letter which he had received last night from Sir James Graham, giving the account of the attempt to shoot her Majesty, which was ordered to be entered on the journals. Alderman BROWN then rose, and after thanking the Divine Power for its providential mercy towards the Sovereign, moved that a dutiful and loyal address be presented to her Majesty, congratulating her on the re cent escape from the bands of the assassin ; which being seconded by Mr. Alderman Lucas, was carried una nimously. It was afterwards carried unanimously, that a similar address be presented to his Royal Highness Prince Al bert, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. The Lord Mayor has also convened a Court of Com mon Council for a similar purpose, to be holden at two o'clock to-day, at Guildhall. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.--The excite ment iii T i, i of party has been again suspended by an event ‘, h but that it is, unhappily, short period, would be re the second of its kind within v,arded as too improbable f a or s a The life of our has iden b t e ic e a zi l a w l g ‘ i u r t e h in g t a h l o .e s7 l) %%l i i c h attended the ted, under circum stancesbelevcri Queen alwst last evening, in a act of OxtOrd. in 1840. late edition, in time for a part of ourcountry circuit:- ticit, the particulars of this truly alarming currence, so i'ar as it was possible, within a space brief,soocollect ind ascertain the general authenticity ofetirliceuatatto.tements, various and confliaing, which were in of and et he flew with almost lightning speed throughosuatrekhonejh me tropolis. The engrossing thought was the Queen. Until that fact was ascertained, th e .. w h ere, ,, an d 66 h ow " of the attempted assassination the were regarded as of litk interest. In the House of Commons, Mr. Charlei7,ood's interruption Premier in his announcement to the House of the out rage—intelligence of which had been just communi cated to him from the Home-office -- was repeated b7s, ,very one to whom the news waz told—" The Queen"; The Queen ! Is her Majesty safe ?" was heard from ,very mouth ; for anxiety respecting her Majesty's per sonal safety sprung up spontaneously in every heart. That question answered, and the assurance given that her Majesty had, through Heaven's mercy, been again preserved, the other inquiries followed with almost breathless rapidity. Every place at which the slightest information respecting the act and its perpe trator could be obtained was literally besieged—not so much for the purpose of gratifying curiosity, as to re lieve the pressure of conflicting emotions which agi tated the inquirers. In the absence et' evidence as to the state of the individual's mental powers by whom this horrible design was conceived, the first impulse of cha rity is, to suppose that he is some wretched being in whom reason has been dethroned, and whose insanity — taking that monstrous bias which is a frequent attendant upon mental disease—has sought its inexplicable gratifi cation in an attempt which, had it succeeded, would have stricken the nation with horror, such as it has never felt since it was numbered among the nations. • STANDARD.—Another madman, or a monster with out the excuse of madness, has attempted the assassina tion of the beloved Sovereign of this empire. At six o'clock yesterday evening, as her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert, was returning to the Palace. an assassin presented a pistol, and tried to discharge it at the Queen, from very nearly the same spot from wh!ch Oxford fired ; but the weapon flashed in the pan, and missed fire. The wretch was instantly seized by a soldier of the Scotch Fusilier Guards, and is now in custody. He was at first supposed to be a foreigner, -but it appears, unhap pily, that he is ,an Englishman, named John Francis, son to a scene-shifter at one of the theatres. He is about 20 years of age. We gave the principal facts in our Third and Fourth Editions last night, and must refer for the detail of particulars to our subsequent ' columns. Our readers will be gratified to know that the Queen escaped even alarm from the atrocious attempt made upon her, as she was not aware of its occurrence until after her arrival at the Palace, and when the assassin had , been some time in the hands of justice: • When made acquainted with it her Majesty received the intelligence with the calmness and self-possession characteristic of her gal lant and illustrious race—with less emotion than any one of the millions of her indignant subjects, disgraced and outraged by the perpetration of such a crime amongst us. There is not the least reason, however, to believe that any living being is a participator, of the mad man or monster's guilt. It at present appears to ,be the effect, if not of a disordered mind, of that prodi gious depravity which Providence permits, as it per mits the occurrence of physical deviations with some inscrutable design, or perhaps to humiliate its creatures, by showing to what odious shapes their nature may be corrupted. To reason from such prodigies must be as . idle as the attempt to account for them. All we can know is, that an act of surpassing wickedness hasp been committed ; for the attempt, however unsuccessful, consummates the crime—that an act as repugnant to . manhood as to the moral or religious sense, has dishonoured our name and nation—that an attempt has been made to murder a young and lovely woman, a mother of two infants, the happy wife of a beloved husband, the deservedly adored Queen of an intelligent and high-minded people—to murder her, too, at the moment when her hand has been stretched forth, when all her faculties have been tasked, to relieve the sufferings of the distressed among her subjects. This is all that we know at the present ; and, knowing this, we are bound to believe that the unmanly ivillany is confined to the one prodigy of wickedness to whom it can be assigned with certainty. COURIER.—We had yesterday the painful duty to perform, in a third edition, of announcing another horri ble Attempt upon the life of our beloved Sovereign. Rut we have also once more to record another signal interpo sition of Divine Providence, through which her Gracious Majesty was happily preserved from the fell intent of the assassin still to reign over, as she lives in, the hearts of a loyal people. From the concurring details derived from various eeurces which have yet transpired respecting this extraordinary event, it would seem, moreover, that on the evening before something like a previous attempt at assassination had been made, on the failure of which the miscreant concerned, and supposed to be the same per son, contrived most unaccountably to make his escape. Should these statements prove to be correct, it cannot fail to impress the public with painful apprehensions that the safety of the Royal Person is not watched over with 'all that unslumbering care and vigilance which under any circumstances should be .felt a 'paramount duty ; but since the meditated atrocity of. Oxford, from which her Majesty so fortunately escaped, should undoubtedly be regarded as of first and imperative consideration. As the examination of the intending regicide was very,ipro perly conducted witkelosed doors, we are yet necessarily in the dark as to the motives, the frame of mind, and other conditions which may have led to the medi tated perpetration of this heinous crime. We would fain hope that the misgivings which must so naturally gain abroad upon the subject may be utterly groundless ; but yet when we reflect upon the extent to which the minds and morals of a certain class of the community, happily not yet a numerous class, have been debauched by the dissemination and preaching of the most abominable and disorganising doctrines of a naked infidelity, we cannot be altogether without our suspicions that the guilty wretch now in custody may . be found deeply inoculated with this deeeetable moral poison. We cannot, with our Contemporaries, Indulge the consoling hope that on the present occasion the act is that of a wild and raving lunatic. There was too much ', method in the madness" to induce conviction of its reality and existence, THE LONDON GAZETTE (THIS EVENING.) ST. JAMES'S PALACE, MAY 30, 1842. The Queen has been pleased to appoint Charlotte Dueheas of Norfolk to be one of the Ladies of the Bedchamber in Ordi nary to her Majesty, in the room of Sarah Dowager Lady Lyt telton, resigned.

It is hereby notified, that her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has received a despatch, dated the 16th ult., from her Majesty's Minister at Mexico, containing the copy of a proclamation, said to have been issued by the Presi dent of the Republic of Texas, to the following effect : OFFICIAL.—BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE RE- PUBLIC OF TEXAS.

The Duke of WELLINGTON rose and said—My Lords, your Lordships must have heard with horror and concern, and with feelings of the greatest indignation, of the attempt made upon the life of her Majesty last night. and it now falls to my lot to perform the duty on the part of her Majesty's Government, to state to you, that an at tempt w as made upon her Majesty's life last evening, as her Majesty was returning in her 'carriage, accompanied by his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, to he: Palace o Buckingham Ilouse, which, by the blessing of Divine Providence. failed,,by a person who was within a short distance of her Majesty's carriage, who fired a pistol at her Majesty. Her Majesty, as I have stated, by the blessing of Divine Providence, was unhurt, and the per ,ituagken th i e nto us c i u m s i tol e y e , u and rs h e ofi son who committed this act—this atrocious, act I may s c ca ri l i l n i e t ls vas no in w ulle t d m ia d t e 6 rg 3 e l legal inquiry, and in due course he will be brought to • justice. My Lords, I avoid enter ing into details upon this painful subject.—(Hear, hear) I confine myself strictly to the performance of my duty in stating the facts to your Lordships, and mov ing your Lordships to agree to present to her Majesty an Address of Congratulation upon the failure of this atrocious and treasonable attempt on her life, and which, by the interposition of Divine Providence, was pre vented. I will therefore propose such an Address to your Lordships, and I will afterwards submit to your Lordships a motion in the usual course, that the same Address be communicated to the house „of Com mons in a conference, and that that House sh4l name members to hold the conference with your Loraliips on the subject.—(Bear.) I therefore, my Lords, wove your Lordships to agree to the Address. The I`,/ale Duke then, in a very low tone of voice, read the following Address : "Gracious Sovereign : We, your Majesty's loyal sub jects, the Lords Spiritual and TempoPtiakand the Coln mons in Parliament assembled, beg Alfie humbly to appr oac h y our Majesty, to expre,s . :_\ "*elings of regret and abhorrence at the late treks; je; attempt again s t your M a j es ty's sacred person. Wep4.4 - elife same wile heartily congratulate tlicoun try on yoiii 7 Majesty's happy preservation from t e .danger to Which your Majesty has been exposed. •Attached to your Majesty. by every sentiment of loyalty, by a sense of the benefits which we derive from the wile and paternal Government of, y ou r Majesty, we cannot but highly appreciat e an d acknowledge the great and • merciful interposition of Divine Providence which was mani fested on the present occasion, and we make our earnest prayer to Almighty God that he will be pleased to confer upon your Majesty every blessing, and that He will continue to watch over and guard a life - so.' justly dear to us all. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said I know not, my Lords, whether I ought to delay, by a single moment, your Lordships adoption of a proceeding which cannot but meet with the universal concurrence of the House.— (Cheers.) In the absence of my Noble Friend, who, I am sure, would have been present on this occasion, if his absence fr. - ;in London had not preVented him from receiving any account of the sad . and Melan choly event to which the Noble Puke has alluded. I Mal i ' be permitted to state, that every sentiment which has been uttered on thiS sorrowfUl • 'occasion, by the Noble Duke must find an echo in every one of your Lordships' breasts.—(Loud cheers.) I have no hesitation in saying that we must all concur in the adoption of the address which has been composed by your Lordships, and that we have quite sufficient grounds for that proceeding in what the Noble Duke has stated with regard to that fact, so deplorable and so Melancholy, and which is unhappily but too • well known. On that question I will not ask for any information, as during the present state of the inquiry all informa tion is most properly witheld. But I trust that, after giving expression to the feelings which actuate your Lord ships on this occasion—after going up to the Throne with those feelings which are common to us all, I trust that your Lotdships will not stop here, but that you will, when you contemplate what may be the sources which had led to this crime, and will address your attention to them, consideration of what 'Pay have boen the causes which may have led to this attempt, which is the greatest of, anomalies, it' made in the absence of all motive, as it is the greatest of crimes, if we look to the unhappy event which might have been its consequences. I am sure I need not say more upon this subject. I believe that there can be but one feeling in the House, of parti cipation in the sentiments expressed by the Noble Duke. Lord PORTMAN begged to be allowed to interpose, for a single moment, for the purpose of stating to their Lot dships a fact, which would tend to increase, if any fact could increase—their gratitude and that attachment to her Majesty, which they all should feel as expressed m the address of the Noble Duke. He wished to state to them that her Majesty, while confident in the protection of Almighty God against any danger which might sur round her, had been thoughtful of those who, are in her service. Feeling on yesterday that some risk might be incurred by those •who were attending her person, she declined the attendance of those ladies who usually accompanied her in her drives, because she did not wish to subject them to that risk to which she herself might be exposed.—(Hear, hear,) As he was one of the parties who had a near and dear rela tive attached to her Majesty's person, he could not help communicating that fact—a fact which - must attach her subjects the more closely to her Majesty. - Lord BROUGHAM said, that there was but one feel ing upon the subject under their Lordships' notice, both in-doors and out of doors. He begged, however, to have it distinctly understood that it was his deliberate opi nion, in reference to what had fallen from his Noble Friend near him (Marquis of Lansdowne) that the law of England as it at present stood was abundantly sufficient to prevent such attrocities - as this, and to prevent their repetition. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he did not mean to recommend any new legislative measures ; but all that he meant was that all the circumstances con nected with that atrocious and unaccountable crime should be carefully proved to the satisfaction of the public. ,Lord BROUGHAM understood then that his Noble • Friend did not contemplate any change in the:criminal law, in consequence of that great—that melancholy and • attrocious attempt. • On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, a Committee was then appointod to draw up an address to her Majesty. The Committee then retired and immediately returned with the address, which was read by the Duke of CAM . BRIDGE. The address was then agreed to. The Earl of SHAFTSBURY moved for a conference with the Ilouse of Commons, which was agreed to. Messengers were then sent to summon the House of Commons to a conference. The two Masters Farrer and Lynch, who had been sent to request a Conference, returned stating that the Commons had agreed to the request of their Lordships. On the motion of the Earl of SIIAFTESBURY the following Peers were appointed to manage the Confer ence :—the Lord President, the LOrd Privy Seal, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Richmond, the Mar quis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Normanby, and the Bishop of 'London. Shortly afterwards Mr. Palman, the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, appeared at the Bar, and announced that the Lords oppointed as Managers were ready for the Conference. The names of their Lordships were then called over, and.they left the House to attend the Conference. After the lapse of nearly ten minutes, the conference returned, and Lord WHARNCLTFFE reported to the House, that the conference with the House of Commons had taken place, and that the address to Her Majesty was left in the hands of Sir Robert Peel, and other Members who represented the House of Commons. PENTONVILLE PRISON BILL. On the motion of Lord WITABNCLIFFE, this Bill was read a third time , arid passed. - CLERKENWEtL IMPROVEMENT BILL. This Bill was read a first time. MONUMENTS IN CHURCHES. Lord HOWDON said that seeing the Right Rev. Pre late who had the spiritual welfare of the Colo nies under his superintendence, he would take the liberty of putting a question to him. He did not mean to detain their Lordships long, but the thought that many of them would be surprised at the statement he was going to make, of a transaction which would appear more properly to have taken place in the middle ages than an occurrence which hardly had taken place a year ago. An officer of rank, with whom he (Lord Howdeo) was well acquainted, died in Quebec, and after his decease the officers of his regiment unanimously resolved that a testimonial should be raised to him, and they caused a tablet to be engraved, merely stating the circumstances of his death, and the respect and affection of his brether officers, which he carried to the grave. His testimonial one would have thought was very innocent. They wished to erect it in one of the churches of the City, and applied to the Colonial Bishop for permission to do so. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took his seat at the usual hour. Mr. Hussey took the oaths and his seat for the Borough of Lyme Regis. Lord Eastnor took the oaths 'and his seat for the Borough of Reigate. ROYAL ASSENT. The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the table to summon the House to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal assent given by Commission to several Bills. The Speaker, accompanied by several Members, left the House, and on his return informed the House that he heard the Royal assent given by Commission to several Bills (for which see Lords' Report). The evidence taken before the Lyme Regis Committee was laid on the table. CAMBUSLANG AND MUIRKIRK ROADS, On the motion of Mr. LOCKHART, this Bill was read a third time. Mr. MACKENZIE moved that the 19th clause of the Bill be struck out. The ground on which he made the motion was, that it was contrary to the usual practice to levy a larger toll on those who came from a distance than on those who lived in the vicinity. Mr, DAM said this was a most extraordinary case; there were no less than five parties before the Committee, all represented by Counsel. The creditors stated that there was 60,000/. owing upon the trust, and other par ties stilted the debt to be no more than f ro m 12,0001. to 18,000/.; it was admitted, however, on all hands, that if the debt of 60,004 were not owing, the present toll ought not to be inereai.,:cd, From what he knew of the matter he was of opinion that the tolls should not be in • creased,—(Cheers,) • ,Ajr, P. M. STEWART would support the motion of his Hon Friend ; the Member" for Peebles. After u short discussion, strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there ap peared— For the amendment Against the amendment 9l Majority against the amendment —56 BELFAST 'ELECTION COMMITTEE. The following Members were sworn in to try the merits of the Belfast Election Petition : 7 -Mr. Ward, Sir A. L. Hay, Captain Polhill, Captain Bernal, Mr. Bald win, Air.

Mr. LOCKART opposed the motion. A short discussion ensued, in which Mr. Denistoun, Mr. Mackenzie, Mr. Darby, Mr. Green, Mr. P. M. Stewart, and Mr. Johnstone took part. After which the House divided, when there appeared For the Amendment 43 Against it Majority against the amendment --60 The. Bill was then read a third time and paised.

A Message from the House of Lords requested a conference with the Commons to agree to an address to her Majesty, condoling-with her upon the attempt made upon her sacred person, and congratulating her upon her escape. Sir B. PEEL begged to move that the Honse agree to a conference with their Lordship; as desired by their Lordships. The following Lords and Gentlemen were then ap pointed•a Committee to confer with their Lordships:— Sir R. Peel, Lord John Russell, Lord Stanley, Lord Palmerston, Sir J. Graham, Lord Howiek, the Chan• eellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Baring, Sir J. Bohhouse, Sir G. Clerk, Mr. •Macaulay, Sir E. Knatchbull, the Attorney• General, the Solicitor-General Sir G. Grey, Sir Thomas Wilde, Lord G. Somerset, Lord Seymour, Mr. Fox Maule, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. O'Connell, Sir R. Inglis, Sir C. Napier, Sir G. Cockburn, Lord Ashley, and Lord Elliot.. The Committee left the House to confer with their Lordships, and on. its return Sir 110 BERT PEEL said, Mr. Speaker, Sir, We have held a conference with the Lords, which was managed on the part of their Lordships by the Lord President of the Council. I have to acquaint the House that in consequence of the late most atrocious and trea sonable attempt which has been made on her Majesty's most sacred person, their Lordships had taken the same into consideration, and had agreed to address her Majesty thereupon, to which Address the Lords desire the con currence of,this House. The Right Hon. Gentleman was then requested by the Speaker to bring up the Address, which was read by the Clerk at the table (for which see Lords' report). At the conclusion of the Address, Sir ROBERT PEEL rose and said, Sir, it is my duty to propose that this House should concur in the address to which the other House of Par- 1 Lament has assented, and I anticipate but one unanimous feeiii rtspecting the proposal whici I. have to make.—(Loud cheers.) Scarcely two years have elapsed since I had the painful duty of seconding the pro posal of a similar motion made by the Noble Lord, and it is with mixed feelings of shame and indignation —(Loud cheers)—that, after a lapse of two years, I rise now to discharge a similar duty.—(Hear, hear.) I should have thought that the natural feelings and sym pathies of human nature would have been protection suffi cient against such an atrocious crime. —(Loud cheers.) That our young Queen, seeking for innocent recreation from the cares and toils of business, in the presence of her beloved husband, should be a .second time exposed in this country to an attempt like this, fills me with feelings of shame and indignation. If feelings of humanity would not have prevented such, an attempt. I should have thought that the burst of loyal afflections which Lad been called forth from all classes of her DI ajosty's subjects by the first attempt, and of indignation and ablicrrence against the author of t, w ould have prevented a repetition of such an atrocity.—(Loud cheers.) It has not done so. Yes terday evening, a little before six o'clock, her Majesty, returning home in the presence of her beloved husband, having, 1 believe, taken the precaution that no other fe male—(Cheers)—should be exposed to the danger but herself— (Continued cheering) she relying with confidence in the generous loyalty of her people. —(lmmense cheering.) With a determination not to be confined as a prisoner in her own palace.—(Loud cheers.) Yesterday evening, on her Alajesty's return to the Pa lace, a shot from a pistol was discharged at the carriage in which her Majesty was sitting. and I have at least the satisfaction of stating that the person by whom that pistol was discharged, was immediately arrested, and is now in confinement. There is every reason to believe that this crime had been meditated on the precedingday ; at least a person answering in every respect the descrip tion of the appearance of the • person apprehended for the offence of yesterday, was observed to point a pistol at the carriage in which her Majesty was seated on her return from church, and was heard to express his regret that he had failed in effecting his object. This person so charged, has been committed for the offence, of high treason, and is . no w b e f ore th e j u di c i a l tribunals of the country ; I shall, therefore, abstain from any further comments on the offence with which he has been charged, but I am sure I shall be justified in anticipating that the country from one end to the other will concur with us in our expression of abhorrence at the crime, and gratitude to Almighty God for the protection of her Majesty from this second attempt on her life, and will offer up an earnest prayer to ' the same divine disposer of events, that he will continue to vouchsafe his protection to her, and long preserve a life s justly dear to all her Majesty's subjects.—(Loud cheers.) The only motion he should make was, that the House do agree to the Address, with the addition of the words—" and the Commons.", Lord J. RUSSELL seconded the motion of. the Right Hon. Gentleman. lam sure said the:Noble Lord, that the predominant feeling in this House, and in the coun try, must be that of gratitude to Almighty God for the preservation of her Majesty's life ; in the next place, that there should be a second person found who could meditate and commit a crime so atrocious, and so cowardly—(Hear, hear)—was most lamentable. The only thing we can now hope is that this crime has been that of a solitary individual, and that it is not the result of a concerted conspiracy. —(Hear, hear.) Of this at least I am sure, that when her Majesty goes abroad among the , people, . there is not one among her subjects who has less reason to fear an enemy in any single individual of the millions who constituted her subjects.—(Hear, near.) Let us hope, therefore, that this may. be the crime of one person, and that the voice of abhorrence and indignation that will arise against him will have tl.e effect of preserving the life it had pleased Almighty God to protect, for many years. Mr. LASCELLES stated that her Majesty having reason to apprehend this attack, would not suffer her usual attendants to partake the danger.—(Loud cheers.) The address was then put and carried unanimously, and the Cabinet Ministers and the Members forming the Committee to manage the Conference, took it up to the Lords. On the return of the Members who formed the Con ference, Sir ROBERT PEEL said—Sir, it will be perhaps convenient for the House, that I should adopt a course which has usually been pursued on these occasions, and stated generally that it was his im pression that her Majesty would probably name to-morrow at a quarter before 4 o'clock, which would be after the Levee, for the purpose of receiving the joint addresses of both Houses of Parliament. SUDBURY ELECTION. On the motion of Mr. WYNN, the evidence in this CIISQwas ordered to be printed. THE FRENCH TAIUFF-DUTY ON ENGLISH LINENS. On the Order of the Day for resuming the adjourned debate on the second reading of the Property-tax Bill being read, Mr. LABOUOHERE said he wished to ask a question on a subject which had created the greatest excitement among the trading classes of this country. It had been re ported that the French Government had increased the duty on linens and linen yarns, the produce of this country. He wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman if he was able to make any statement on this subject. He could not put the question without expressing regret at the moment we were pursuing measures for the adoption of a more liberal course of commercial policy towards other nations, a step of a nature so hostile to our interests should have been adopted. 'Sir R. PEEL said, in answering the question of the Right Hon. Gentleman, he might be allowed to state that within the last 3 or 4 days her Majesty's Government had received information on the subject to the effect that the Minister of France had stated that the Government of France had power by an ordonnance to raise the duties referred to, and that the Government of France intended to exercise that power. He (Sir R. Peel) could only assure the Right Honourable Gentleman that they had not permitted a post to leave this country, without making their communications on the subject to the French Government, which thought their duty required of to make, namely, expressing their regret at the intention expressed to raise those duties. HO (LEFT SITTING.) USE OF COMMONS Six O'CLOCK. A noble trait in her Majesty's character has just been revealed to the House. Sir Robert Peel has stated, and his statement was confirmed by Mr. Lascelles, whose sister is, we believe, the lady alluded to, that her Majesty, aware that she might, be exposed to danger, and resolved not to deny herself the pleasure, and even the duty of taking relaxation, would not allow any lady to accompany her, in her carriage, that no other per son might be exposed to the assassin's attempt but, herself. Prince Albert, alone, shared her danger; but the Lady in , Waiting was left at the Palace. Her Majesty is as generous as she is brave. Since the days of Shakspere " Crowners' quest law" has been a jest and a bye-word. It was reserved fur our " Senior Coroner of the County of Dublin" to elevate crowners' questiudgments into consequence and notoriety. Sir Edo and Sugden had better look to his laurels. There is a formidable competitor in the field, as will be seen by the following exqui s,te specimen of steeial pleading concocted by Isle.

PRIDE or ANCESTRY.—An anecdote is told of Mr. Roger, of Werndee, in Monmouthshire, which exhibits the pride of ancestry in a striking point of view. His house was in such a state of dilapidation, that theproprietor was in danger limier of perishing the ruins of the ancient mansion, whi c h venerated even in decay. A stranger, whom he accidentally met at the foot of the Skyrrid, made various inquiries respect ing the country, the prospects, and the neighbouring houses, and among others, " Whose is this antique, mansion before us?" " That sir, is Werndee, a very ancient house ; for out of it came the Earls of Pembroke of the hrst line, and the Earls of Pembroke of the second line ; the Lords Herbert of Cher bury, the Herberts of Coldbrook, Ramsay, Cardiff, and York; the Morgans of Acton; the Earl of Hunsdon ; the houses of Ircown and Lanarth, and all the Powell,. Out of this house, also, by the female line, came the Duke of Beau fort." " And pray, sir, who lives there now 2" " I do, sir." " Then pardon rue, and accept a piece of advice ; come out of it yourself, or you'll soon be buried in the ruins of it."— Welsh Paper. The Siecle states, in an article devoted to Paris gossip, that a short time before M. Aguado quitted Paris for Spain, on his late fatal journey, he offered to sell one of his houses to M. Duprez, the celebrated singer, for 500,000 fr., and Duprez having observed that he had not that sum to :pare, M. Aguado aaid—" Never mind, you shall pay me by way of life annuity." N. Duprez, adds the account, re. quested time to think of the proposition, and eventually put it off until the return of M. Aguado, whereas, if he had em braced the offer at once, he would have had the house for nothing, as M. Aguado died before the payment of the first quarter would have become due. A Constantinople letter of the 9th inst., says : " Tahir Pacha has made a proposal to the Council of Minis ters to send a commissioner to Tunis, to watch the conduct of the Dey, but the Sultan opposed it, as being unwilling to do anything that might give offence to France. Risa Pacha, Marshal of the Palace, who has alwa)s been an inveterate enemy to the new system of reform, is so deeply affected by pulmonary phthisis, that his life is despaired of, and the Grand Vizier is confined to his bed by the re-opening of an old hound in his thigh, which, it is feared, will render amputation ne cessary."

The Order of the Day for the third reading of the Property-tax Bill having been read, Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD rose to propose the motion of which he bad given notice. He thought it was necessary for the House to consider whether they were in a condition to embrace a mode of taxation heretofore unprecedented, except in the case of an European war. He felt he would not be doing his duty as a representa tive, pledged to protect the rights of the people, and that he would not be worthy of the position he held, if he did nut on this occasion oppose such a principle of taxation as was now proposed. It was hardly necessary that he should prove that the principle of taxation and repre 1,1 not sentation should be identical. It cow ,- denied that they oft co-exist.

He. now asked the Hou: consider whether the people were really sented. It was said that they were vlr!`: h" _O, represented, because property was represented, but re.
