His MAJESTY arrived in town this day, ac companied by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR. His MAJESTY was accompanied by a party of the 14th Light Dragoons, and travelled in an open carriage and four, preceded by out-riders. The ICING afterwards held a Court and Levee, which were numerously attended. _ e hav e on l y space to di rect attention to the answer of Earl GREY to Lord LONDONDERRY, respecting our foreign relations. The Belgian question seems yet destined to be settled only by recourse to arms. The King of HOLLAND has all along played the game of Russia, and still persists in the same policy. Lord ALTHORP last night made a very im portant declaration with respect to the proceed ings of the Committee now sitting on the Bank Charter. He entertained a sanguine expecta tion that the question would be set at rest during the present Session ; but he con ceived it better to incur any inconveni ence that might arise from delay, than come to a decision too hastily. We sincerely trust that a question of such national importance will not be decided by the present Parliament, but be left to the wisdom of a reformed Legislature. The matter is one that concerns the well-being of the country, through all its diversified inte rests, and should be dealt with accordingly, with out favour or affection to any party whatever. Let us have justice. The plan that Government proposes to adopt for e d uca ti ng th e p oorer c l asses in I re l an d, is one of so enlightened, conciliatory, and bene ficent a character, that nothing but the insanest thalignity of faction can find fault with it. It does not p l ay idly round the surface, but strikes to the root of the grievances that have so long kept down the energies of the Sister-island. Hitherto, Ireland has been torn in pieces be tween two factions. It has been crucified be tween Catholic and Protestant. All that was generous, all that was redeemi ng in the national charact er , h as been poisoned by the recollection that one party was a tyrant and the other a slave. Mr. STANLEY'S Bill proposes to seal up this fountain of discord. It has for its ob ject, to reconcile the feuds between Catholic and Protestant ; to raise the one to the level of the other, allowing supremacy to neither ; to inculcate juster notions of humanity ; to teach Orangeman and Papist that they are natives of the sam e soil, subjects of the same Government, children of the same GOD, and that, conse quently, instead of avoiding and reviling, they should learn to love, and live in good fellow ahip with, each other. 'I his plan, than which nothing grander, more considerate, or more phi losophical, ever yet emanated from Government ; Which proposes to itself the proud task of bring 'hg the two extremes of Irish society together, h Y elevating both higher in the scale of hit- Ilanity, has been met by the Episcopal Bench —it ig with shame, sorrow, and disgust we record the fact—in a spirit of the most rancorous hostility. The question is one of universal humanity ; they have turned it into one of party spite and prejudice. It is one that concerns th interests of religion, in the most exalted accepta tion of the term; they have treated it as one of schism and bigotry. It is a question that ap peals to their justice as men, to their sympathies as Christians, to their duties as Divines ; they have considered it as one that perilled their plu ralities, infringed on their monopolies, and raised the old war cry of the " Church in danger," against it. Yes, the Episcopal Bench has done its utmost to narrow the ground and cripple the character of a question which has Christianity for its object and its defence. In the House of Lords, last night, the Arch bishop of ARMAGH roundly asserted that a petition from the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, in favour of the Govern ment system of education in Ireland, did not speak the sentiments of the majority of Church men and Dissenters ; that it was one of the many evil signs of the times; and was at variance with the opinions of most of his Right Reverend Brethren of that Bench, and with those of eighteen of the Irish Bishops. That the Irish Prelates dislike the question is natural. We should be surprised were it other wise. They treat it, after the usual episcopal fashion, not as a matter of humanity and reli gion, but as one of profit and loss ; not as it regards the interests of Ireland, but as it ope rates on their own pockets. The Engli , h hier archy view it in the same light, well aware that a measure which proposes to substi tute liberality of thought and sentiment for ignorance and bigotry, in a country so closely connected with us as Ireland, cannot but react unfavourably on all that requires purification in the Protestant Church at home. It would have been surprising if the Bishop of EXETER—who does not know Dr. PHILL - POTTS, of epistolary and pamphleteering noto riety ?—had not been found foremost among the ranks of the intolerants. There he stood, the pride, the pillar of the episcopal bench, de nouncing the Irish education system as a " tremen dous symptom ofthe times," bu t forgetting that still more " tremendous symptom" developed in the circumstance of a Protestant Bishop ratting o❑ the most important religious question that ever engaged the attention of Parliament, and re ceiving a mitre, (unaccompanied, alas, by a fat rec tory) as the price of his apostacy. But the excel lent Bishop, albeit he poured forth much spiri tual verbiage, took nothing by his motion. His influence in the house of Lords is clearly in the condition of ROWLAND STEPHENSON— non est inventus. The LORD CHANCELLOR estimated it exactly at its fitting worth, and still more so Lord GREY, when he asserted in the honest sincerity of his heart, that he heard the Rev. Prelate's assertions with " disgust and contempt !" Disgust and contempt ! What pith—what meaning—what heartiness in these two simple words ! Yet appropriate as they confessedly are, they roused the choler of my Lord SALIS BURY, who professed to be as much shocked and astonished with them, as if a thunderbolt had dropped close beside the woolsack, and flut tered the curls on the CHANCELLOR'S wig ! Fortunately on the Bishop they had no such electrical effect. His bile was settled in an instant ; his disordered nerves were subdued to more than average placidity. Whether the Rev. Prelate will again exhibit in the House of Lords, is more than we can say ; most probably he will retire for a season into the calm bosom of domestic seclusion, and occupy his leisure hours with a reperusal of his old pamphlets varied occasionally by meditations on the cha- racter and destiny of JUDAS ISCARIOT. Brussels and Frankfort papers have been re ceived. The same uncertainty with respect to the final settlement of the Belgian question s ill prevails—while preparations are prosecuted by both parties with an eye to hostilities. The King of BAVARIA has appointed Prince NV REDE as Commissioner to settle affairs in the Rhenish Provinces ; but we doubt his success :---- ANTWERP. JUNE 29.--At this moment the citadel is provided wi;h bac;;n, flour, rice, and spirituous liquors. If we might form an opinion of the resolutions of the Dutch Government, from these preparations, we should believe that it means to resist the Conference, which ‘;ill shortly employ measures of coercion against Ki ng wil iiam. The l a yi ng i n o f s uc h large supplies seems to pre sage some resistance on his side. BRUSSELS, JUNE 30.—The tribunal of the first instance at Brussels is to deliver, next week, its judgment between the Minister of the Interior and M. Feuillet Duniers, re specting the printing of the Moniteur Beige. Generals Desprez and Magnan arrived at Tongres on the 28th. The former proceeded to Liege. Gen. Magnan will remain at Tongres some days. The Dutch advanc.d on the 27th as far as Belsen, three leagues from Maestricht, and carried off some cattle. CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES, SITTING OF JUNE 29. The project of law for the organization of the Courts of Justice was adopted, by a majority of 57 to 18. Three Members declined voting. The Chamber proceeded to the discussion of the pro posed vote of credit of five millions for the expense of the formation of an army of reserve of 30,000 men. M. Osy—We cannot longer blindly trust the Ministry, we must know its acts not its words. Its silence is cal. culated to make us fear that we have to prepare ourselves for fresh sacrifices. The law which authorises it to ac cept the treats , of Nov. 15, points out the course it oti4 ht to follow, and from which it cannot deviate. If the Mi nistry consents to the evacuation of the citadel of Antwerp, as it is understood, it consents to unsettle several articles of the treaty, which may have many fatal constquences for this country. For if we leave it to the Conference to settle these articles, instead - of regul sting the execution of them in concert with Holland, we run the risk of losim; the important pilot duties on the Scheldt, of paying four or 5,000,000 'sore, and of making new concessions of territory in Limburg and Luxemburg. I therefore ask whether the Ministry has insist e d on the execution of the treaty before the eva cuation of the citadel, or whether it has consented to re sume the negotiations atter the evacuation shall have taken place ? M. Osy said be had always regretted tlte resolution, but as it was accomplished he wished to make it as useful as possible to the country, whose independence was, he said, imposs!ble without the full execution of the 24 articles. He insisted on the communication of the last pi otocols, be cause he thought that Holland would annex conditions to the evacuatio n of Antwerp, which will disarm France and lead us insensibly to agree to change articles 0, 11, and 13 of the treaty. He feared a great deficiency in the treasury. The Minister of Finance said there would be no defi ciency it we were not obliged to pay the expenses of the war establiihnient. Gendebein had heard above two months ago, and informed the Ministry of it, that it was likely the English would %site possession of Antwerp. This would rot'y a preparatory step to the long cherished scheme of the par. tition of Belgium. The left bank of the Scheldt and Antwerp would be given to the English, Liege to Prussia, and the rest to France. This was projected in March, 1831. At that time there were means of opposing it, but there would be none it the English were in possession of Antwerp. The Minister for Foreign Affairs would not deny that some powers might at one time have conceived such pro jects, but he thought there was no ground for alarm on this head, and that, in fact, such projects could not be executed. He declared on his honour that he had never heard of a project to take possession of the citadel of Antwerp. In no negotiation or private conversation was there ever heard any mention of giving it up except to Belgium. He regretted that he had not in his possession the papers asked for by M. Osy. He said the previous evacuation of the citadel of Antwerp is feared ; the Chamber may be persuaded that all farther arrangements with Holland will be made by amicable negotiations be tween the parties, so that Belgium will always ha able to require the execution of the treaty of November 15. The Chamber then proceeded to vote ; 73 were in favour of the law, and 4 against it. M. Gendebein refrained from voting, because he was not sufficiently informed of the state of affairs, and yet he did not like to assume the responsibility of a refusal.— Brussels Papers, July 1. SPIRES, JUNE 25.—We learn that Prince Wrede will arrive in a few days in Rhenish Bavaria, as President of a Commission of five Members The let battalion of the 14th Regiment of the Line and a squadron of the 6th regiment of Light Horse arrived here the day before yesterday. At Gomersheim two whole ri giments of Light Horse and twelve pieces of cannon ar rived at the same time. The rescript of the King of Bavaria, announcing the appointment of Prince Wrede, as Commissioner in the circle of the Rhine, says that hisiMijesty has named, with the greatest sorrow, the interruption of legal order in the circles of the Rhine, as he has always had it at heart to promote the welfare of the inhabitants, in spite of the oh sticks which the circumstances of the times have opposed to his paternal intent•ons. His Majesty is far fiom im puting to the inhabitants, in general, the errors of a part, led away by evil minded persons; that it is his duty to employ all the power of the laws against a stale of things equally dangerous to the most important interests of the state, to the foreign relations of Bavaria, and to the safety of persons and property. For this rea son, his Majesty sends Prince Wrede with full powers, and with a sufficient military force at his disposal, to insure the execution of the measures which he may take for the maintenance of the laws. His Majesty hopes that the measures of the Commissioner will be respected, and order speedily restored ; at the same time promising that every grievance which shall be represented to him i❑ the legal m inner shall be investigated and remedied. Should his Majesty's hopes be disappointed, those who disobey will have to attribute to themselves the result which the law has clearly pointed out; but the application of which his Majesty would consiler as one of the most melancholy occurrences of his reign.—Frankfort Pa pers, June 2S. SIR WALTER SCOTT.—The answer to in quiries this morning was that Sir WALTER had passed a tolerably good night and appeared something better than ye , terday. He continues perfectly sensible and his appe• cite is as well as can be expected.

The young man who has found it offers to marry the lady to whom this tooth may belong—provided ate his twenty or thirty thousand pounds for her fortune.— The Parrot. Lord AMESBURY'S lamented demise, which occurred on S iturday, adds another name to the short list of victims in the higher walks of life, from that fell disease, the cholera morbus. The attack, from the commence ment, was of the most violent and alarming character . and no withstanding the prompt assistance of the most emi nent medic tl men, tne spasms could not I , e controlled, and the amiable Lord, who was in his 81st year, rapidly sunk. Dr,. BRODIE and WARDROP pronounced the dis order, from the first, to he the real Asiatic cholera, and attributed the melancholy termination to the advanced pe riod of life and previously debilitated constitution of the Noble sufferer. Dr. BEDALE, the celebrated swimmer, who it will be remembered swam from Runcorn to Liverpool in three hours and a half, at the rate of six miles per hour, at-lived in London this day, and:intends to-morrow, and for a few days, to display his peculiar method of swimming and floating for the amusement of his friends, in the river Thames. The Doctor intends starting to-morrow afternoon between three and four o'clock from Somerset House. A POOR WOMAN DELIVERED IN THE BLACK-HOLE.—We last week stated the tact—a fact as it now stands that covers the parish with disgrace—that a poor Irishwoman was on Tuesday week delivered of a child in the black-hole, after lying for some time in the pains of parturition exposed to the inquisitive gaze of an as•embled crowd. In alluding to the fact we expressed a hope that some inquiry would be made. We regret to say that no steps have ben taken to satisfy the public mind.— Brighton Guardian. The Paper on the last Unreformed House of Gammons in the present number of the New Monthly Magazine, edited by Mr. BtJLWER, will he read at this interesting peri,,d of the national affiirs, with strong feel ings of attention. It goes into a succinct review of the services rendered to the country by the existing body of ppular representatives, under the trying circumstances thr ugh which we have Just p issed, and further illustrates the character of that H.,w,e, by reference to one of its most popular Members, Mr. O'CONNELL, of whose style of Par lidm ntary spe ling (which does not appear to have been hitherto described it furnishes an animated sketch. The Bishop of EXETER received last night a severe, but a very just castigation at the hinds of Lord GREY. The contempt and disgust of the latter may be taken, in the mat er referred to, as but a feeble expression of general opinion; hut what a situation for a Bishop to place himself in ! Contempt and disgust indeed ! When the friends of the Church consi , fer themselves just,fied in speaking of its heads after this fashion, we humbly opine that Reform is not far distant—that tithes and pluralities are in danger —and that it is high time for the lawn sleeved gentry " to set their houses in order."—Morning Adver. lIIBERNIAN HUNIOUR.—Those who are conversant with the native Irish character, can alone ima gine the fund of amusement cAlected in the new volume of Sir JONAH BARRINGTON'S 4 .

Persons of intemperate habits have been the principal sufferers in a marked degree—several instances having occurred of a number of deaths following close after a convivial meeting, in which the parties had drunk to excess.

His Horrotta will proceed with the causes, further directions. and exceptions as they now stand on the book, until Wednesday the 18th. On Thursday the 19th, and following day, his Honour will take further directions and exceptions only until they are disposed of, and he will then take causes until the last seal. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) ASSIGNEES OF JOHNSON AND OTHERS V• WELCH. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL stated this to be an action brought by the assignees of AlessTs. Johnson, Brooks, and Co., lamp-manufacturers, lately carrying on business in New-street-square, to recover the sum of 951. 10s. for work and labour done for the defendant. The defendant was Mr. Thomas Welch, the well-known musical compo ser, and proprietor of the late Argyll-rooms, which it will be recollected were unfortunately destroyed by fire some few years ago. The amount sought to be recovered was for supplying chandeliers, candelabras, &c. for the ochestra of that establishment. The case was not concluded when our reporter left. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) HAYNES V. POSTER AND ANOTHER. This was an action of trover to recover a large sum of money, the value of seven hills of exchange, alleged to have come into the hands of the defendants by a fraudu lent preference given to them by Wood and Poole, bill brokers, previous to their bankruptcy. The facts of the case are nearly similar to those so fre quently before the public in last term, in the case of Beestora and Co. v. the same defendants. The bills were deposited with Wood and Poole for discount, who had been in the habit of pledging bills with the defendants, getting advances upon them. They (Wood and Poole) stopped payment in November, 1830, on a Tuesday. on which day they gave Foster upwards of 70 bills, amount ing in value to more than 6,000/., upon which was ad vanced only 3,0001., the surplus going as security for a former debt. Wood and Poole stopped payment on the same afternoon. Bridges and Beeston, at the former trial, recovered their bills, but during last Term a new trial was moved for and granted. The evidence produced to day was the same as on the farmer trial, but was not concluded when we went to press.

EX-PARTE BATTEN IN RE GUNDRY, A BANKRUPT.-EX•• PARTE GRYLLS IN RE GUNDRY. The facts of the case were these :—On Gundry be coming a bankrupt, a certain mine, which formed part of his estate, was divided into shares amongst the gentlemen of his neighbourhood,—not with a view to profit, but to prevent the workmen being thrown upo❑ the parish. The Duke of Leeds, being owner of a large part of the parish, took three of the shares, hut held them in the name of Grylls, who was solicitor to the bankrupt and assignee to the estate. Afterwards, being desirous of parting with them, Grylls himself bought them. The question, under these circumstances, was, whether Grylls himself could claim the shares for himself, or was to be considered as a trustee of the estate. The matter went before the Lord Chancellor, wl,o referred it to the Master. The Master reported that all the transactions :Itere bona fide, and that Grylls was not to be considered as a trustee. The first petition on the list never took exception to the Master's report, whilst the second prayed that the report might he confirmed. The COURT, after hearing Counsel on the two petitions which were heard together for several days, this morning decided that no assignee could purchase for himself and riends, and that therefore Grylls was to be considered as trustee on ly. COMMISSION OF LUNACY AGAINST MRS. NEWTON OTHERWISE MISS BAGSTER. (THIS DAY.) A Commission of Lunacy assembled yesterday to try the stare of mind of Mrs. NEWTON, otherwise Mi.s BacsrEn. After much evidence had been heard, the Court adjourned over to this day. SECOND DAY. This morning the inquiry was resumed before Messrs. WHITMARSII, COLTAIAN, and WINSLOW, the Commis sioners. Miss Jemima Clayton examined by Mr. PoLaocx— Had been governess to Miss Bagster and the family of Alderman Crowder. She went into the family in May, 1829, and continued to be her governess up to thee when Miss B. left the Zoological Gardens. She was about nineteen years old when witness went to Alderman Crow der's. She endeavoured to instruct Miss B. Her temper was always exceedingly violent and liable to great excite ment of passion—sometimes several days successively, and sometimes she might have been a week without violence, but seldom a week went by without something of that kind happening ; this excitement was without the least provo• cation. She would frequently throw things at witness, and tear her dress s; at one time witness was nearly stab ed by her. When she returned to a state of compo sure she appeared to hive no sense of her impropriety, and did not appear to) understand the consequences. She was never allowed to go out alone ; when witness went to her she could read tolerably ; she could not spell, but she could write her copy. She used to write, but always copied them, perhaps three, four, or five times over before the letter could be sent, there were so many mistakes; that was the case up to her going away. She is twenty two years old, but was not wore advanced in education than a child of eight years old ; a child of five years of awe would be more her companion. She does not at all un derstand the value of money, and is not competent to spend money. She does not know even the relative value of coin, and cannot form the least judgment of prices of articles. She cannot be safely trusted to buy articles. She do e s not know the number of days or weeks in the year. Wit ness had used every endeavour daily to teach her moral and religious instruction, but had never been able to make her comprehend the doctrines of the Chris. tian religion. She can repeat the Lard's prayer, and the creed, and can repeat the Commandments but badly. She can commit lines of poetry to heart if they particularly strike her. She laughs at the idea of religion; witness had never, although she had endeavoured, made her understand her serious relation to her Maker. Witness had tried to ascertain whether she knew the relative value of coin from a farthing to a shilling. Sometimes she was able to tell how many pence and how many sixpences there were in a shilling, and at other times not. Witness had daily exercised her, but never in any degree succeeded. She once gave a sovereign to a beggar instead of a sixpence. She never had the care of money until then. Her grandpapa allowed her sixpence a week, which she carried in her lug, an , he gave her a sovereign on one occasion. Witness and Miss B. were walking at Hammersmith, and seeing a beggar, she took the sovereign from her bag and gave it to him, stating that she had given him sixpence. Wit ness took the sovereign from him and gave him a shilling. Witness had tried to teach her arithmetic, but she did not understand how to add two figures together. Witness was present when other persons attempted to converse with her, but all her conversation was regarding her own person, and she often appealed to witnees, fancying she had various complaints in her head. Miss Bagster wa. always tr ea t e d by her family as a child. Mrs. an d Mi s • Newton h ave frequently been on a visit to the family , and wit ness h a d seen M r . Newton there. Any strange r coming to the house must h ave instantly observed how Miss B. was treated, and the state of her mind was frequently the subject of conversations. On one occasion witness went into the dining-room, after dinner, and caught Miss Baxter drinking wine out of a decanter; witness told her she had often suspected het of that, and bad then caught her in the act ; she took up the decanter to throw it at witness, who got out of the way ; she then put the decanter down, f and taking up some apples and pearl threw thew at witness. Witness got behind the screen. She elm took witness's work-box and put it on the firs; at that moment her grandpapa came in and stopped her. She appeared to be very susceptible of partialities for young persons. Any gentleman she happened to see, she pre tended to be in love with him. On one occasion, during Alderman Crowder's mayoralty, while the family were at the Mansion House, witness was writing a note to a Miss Hale. Miss B. was sitting at the same table; Miss B. mistook the name for Miss Slade, and asked how dare the witness write to Miss Slade. Witness showed the name, and spelt it to her, but that did not satisfy her, for she took up a penknife, and, in attempting to stab the witness, her foot slipped against the frame of the table, —(an old fashioned table,) and she stuck the knife into the table, and the blade broke. She appeared not to understand what she was doing. Witness reproved her, and she laughed its a silly manner. On one occasion when the state carriage was going out a female servant came into the room to look through the window at the carriage ; Miss B. ran up to her and tore her cap to pieces, assigning no reason for it. On one Sunday during the Mayoralty, as witness and Miss B. were walking from a church in Cheapside, she tore the blonde off witness's bon net. Witness directly told the footman to run fast and open the door ; she was pushing and pinching the witness in the streets, but at last she was got home. Towards the close of Alderman Crowder's mayoralty Mrs. Bagster went out of town, desiring witness to sleep with Miss Bagster; she did sleep with her one night, but Miss Gagster got out or bed and threatened to murder her. Miss Bagster never slept alone, and after that night witness requested that another person might sleep with her. During the time they lived at the mansion-house Miss Bagster had frequently got out of bed during the night. She once got out of bed, crossed the ball-room, and came to witness's room, in her night-dress. She was awake on those occasions. Witness bad frequently seen acts of violence towards her mother. At one time Miss Bagster scratched the skin off tier mother's face, so that Mrs. Bagster could not tie seen for three weeks. While her mother tens sbsent, witness mentioned to Alderman Crowder that she was quite ex hausted by Miss Bigster's conduct, anti could no longer bear it. Alderman Crowder told witness to send for Mrs. Bagster, and to get some person to take care of Miss Bagster, for he was convinced it would end in a strait waistcoat, but he wished not to be informed more about it. He was very much distressed at the time, and had Miss Bigster down to speak to her. This took place in October ; they left the Mad sion-house in November ; and Alderman Crowder died in three weeks afterwards at his house at Hammersmith. Miss B. did not appear to feel anything for the death of her grandfather. On the day of the funeral Miss B. was dressed in black crape, nut had tine of her violent fits, she tore her own dress, and tore a frill on her mother's person, while preparations were making for the burial. Mr. Newton attened the funeral, but was not in the room when this violence occurred. Shortly after the funeral Alias Bagster expressed a wish to write to a Mr. Jupps : witness told her she could not allow her to do so; she threw a pen at witness, and directly afterwards threw a table-knife at witness, which lodged in the sleeve of her dress. A very old friend, William Shirley, was present, and, being much alarmed, rang the bell, and the servant came. Alias B.'s bands were obliged to be held while witness ran to another room, and locked herself in. In August last witness accompanied Mrs. Bagster and her daughter, Mrs. Horne, and Mr. Howell, on a tour in the west of England ; in the course of that tour Miss Bagster conducted herself very violently; at Launceston, in Cornwall, Miss Bagster tore her mother's bonnet and dress, and threw Mrs. Bagstsr's watch, reticule, and several loose things out of the window. Several persons came round the carriage, and they drove on after recovering the things. Upon getting in Olilsworthy Miss B. said she would not go in the Inn, but would remain in the street; she attempted to knock at every door she passed, and said she would break the windows. She appeared not to be sensible of what she had done, and there was nothing to which witness could assign this conduct. It was nine o'clock when they arrived at Ol'lsworthy, but it was past eleven before they could get her into the Inn. She attempted to kick witness, but was restrained be the gentlemen. A crowd assembled, and Miss B. laughed at them, and wanted to know what they stared at her for. When they got her in the Inn she laughed and danced in the room like a child. She threw a knife, in the room, at Mrs. Horne, during tea, and said she would injure witness, and was determined to do her some mischief. Mr. Howell at last succeeded in getting her up stairs to bed, and she wished him to remain with her. She did not appear to understand the duties and proprieties of her sex. There were two beds in the room, and she wished Mr. Howell to sleep in the other bed. Witness spoke to her of the impropriety of that, and she struck witness. When in the bed-room she wished for a Seidlita powder, kis would not let any one mix it for her but Mr. Howell. He. conduct towards Mr. Howell was very improper. At last she was got to bed, and witness slept in the other bed. During the night she got out of bed four or five times, and came and felt for witness, and awoke her. She asked wi , - nese whether she was likely to have a determination of I 1 d to the head. The following morning she was in a very had temper, and they were two hours getting her dressed. When they were about to go away, there was a very great crowd collected, in consequence of her conduct the night before. They then proceeded on to Cheltenham. When at the Montpelier Spa, at Cheltenham, Miss B. said she was very much in love with Mr. Howell, but she was afraid he liked witness, but she wished to put the question to Mr. Howell; she spoke to Mr. Howell, saying, sht was very much attached to him, and asked if he intended to marry the witness or her. They went afterwards to Windsor, and went over the Castle; Miss B. joined some strangers, who appeared to be persons of Ye' y low condition, saying, she liked to walk with persons of their condition. She was brought back to the party. [A person who was in Court was observed by Mr. Commissioner WHITMARSII to be looking very earnestly at the witness—and at the Commissioner's request, who said such conduct was very improper, the person was removed. The witness was asked as to that person, and she stated that his name was Laver, that she had never seen him but once before, and that was at Mrs. Newton's; and that it was his brother who was at the Zaological gardens, and that Mrs. Bagster did not know him. Mr. Commissioner WHITMARSH said, be had noticed that person several times looking very improperly at the witness.] After they left Windsor, on the road to Lou don Miss B. tore her mother's dress, and broke Mrs. Horne's spectacles. At Richmond witness slept in the same room with Miss B. who got out of bed several times and kept witness awake, complaining that she was going to have inflammation in her chest; she wished witness to look at her eyes to see if they wsr red ; she was always liable to a notion that she was going to be ill. In Ssptem her Mrs. and Miss Bagster, Mr. Howell and witness, went to Dover by a steam-packet; at Dover, while in the inn. Miss Bagster threw a book at witness, and went to the sideboard to get some glasses to throw at her, but witness held her hand. She also threw her hair comb and her mother's shoes out of the window. The witness derailed many similar acts of Impropriety on the part of Miss Bagster while at Dover. From Dover they went to Hastings by the stage, and her beha-iour was no. ticed by the other passaneers ; they then went to Brigh ton, where she wished to purchase a dressing-case for a Mr. Smith. She asked Mr. Howell, several times, whe them he thoueht Mr. Smith lik d her Mr. Smith was Chaplain to the Lord M , yor.. After breakfast, during the time the pamty were at prayers, Miss Bagster threw a fork at her mother, which lodged in the back of her baud ; it stuck so fast in the hand that witness was obliged to pull it out ; the wound swelled very much, and was exceed ingly painful ; Miss B. cried at what she had done, but said she did not care about the wound only that Mr. Howell would be offended at her. There was no alteration in her general conduct up to the time she left the Zocso gical Gardens ; she is decidedly incompetent to marling. herself. Witnesss, on the 21st of April, went to the Zoological Gardens, and found she was gone. That was Saturday. On the Tuesday before Mr. Howell dined with the family, and she felt disappointed because he could not accompany them into Wales, and en she toll The two .lt him how much she loved him. She cried very mu c h a f ter Mr. Howell had gone. She was that evening i n vit e d to to go to Mrs. Newton's, hut she exptes•ed h er unwilling uses to go because Mr. Howell wa s no t go i ng t h ere. Sh e and witness, however, went to M rs . N ewton ' s . I t was plainly perceptible that M iss B. h a d b een cry i ng, and she s w h a e s asked sad bysh she was Newton Mr..

The Thurs day was the first day named, but the day being unfavour able it was postponed until the Saturday. Mrs. Newton They bad been in the gardens about half an hour, when Miss B. and witness were parted. She inquired for Miss B. and the enswsrs she received satisfied witness Miss B. had gone away with Miss Newton and Mr. R. Newton, Witness missed them •uddenly. Some time afterwards witness PAW Miss New ! oa sitting by herself on a chair; on asking her for Mr. Newton and Mies Bagster, she replied they were close by —.that she was tired and had Sat Jowl'. Witness got veey inxious for Miss 8., and went to the gates, call e d Wit. 'iamson, the confidential servant, to watch at the gate, while she went rcund the Gardens. She went en Mr. Laver and Miss Newton, who said they had not seen Miss Bagster and Mr. Newton. Miss Newton said it was probable her brother had taken Miss 13agster to call on Mr. Greenwood's family in the park, who were friends of Mrs. Bagster. At length witness went home, and found Miss Bagster had not been home; she then went into Mr. Newton's house, and she was not there. Witness next saw Miss Bagster again on the following Tuesday, at Keswick, with Mr. Newton and Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson was a solicitor, whose name had been changed from Newberry. Witness and Mrs. Bagster, on arriving at Keswick, learnt that Mr. Newton and Miss Bagster were driving out, and they waited until they returned, when Mrs. Begster took Miss Bagster, placed her in a carriage and drove her away. Miss Bagster at first kissed witness and her mother, but afterwards got very violent. One of the executors was with them. She appeared glad to see her mother. In the coarse of an hour she broke her mother's bonnet and tore her face ; they were obliged at last to tie her hands with a handkerchief to restrain her. She spoke once only of Mr. Newton, and said " Why don't yeti let me go to my husband?" She continued to he very vio lent on the road to London, and upon arriving here she was placed under the care of Alderman Kelly. She had since had similar fits of passion. Mr. Kingdon, a medical gentleman had attended her there. Once she asked for a glass of water, and threw it at the servant. Speaking of her trip to Gretna Green, she called it a bit of fun—a lark.—(Laughter.) She mentioned ether gentlemen, and said she should like to take a similar jour ney. She mentioned Mr. Alderman Kelly particularly ; also a Mr. Alfred Perfect, to whom she said she would like to he married, as he had such a pretty face. She asked witness once if she (witness) thought she was in the family way. That was directly she returned. She said she was afra'd Mr. Perfect would not think anything more of her, as she had gone off with Mr. New on, anl she expressed a wish to see him—she alluded to gentlemen keeping ladies, and said she should like that sort of thing very much ; and she said she would like to live with one gentleman one day, and another gentleman ano ther day. She seemed to have no idea that marriage was binding ; she thought she could live with any p e rs on Sh e said she would be married and she should then dress up smart, and walk in the saloons of the:theatres—she should like that thing very much. The witness was being cross-examined by Mr. FoHet when our reporter left. WINDSOR, JULY 3. Yesterday Lord HILL aut.! Lnd CoABER:Knits took leave of their 41AJESTIES, and left the Castle for London.
