LONDON,
FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1821.

The number of petitions presented to both
Houses of Parliament, praying for the restoration
of the QUEEN'S name to the Liturgy. and that her
MAJESTY should be treated with the respect and
observances that belong to her rank in the State, is
already very considerable. This evening Lord A.
HAMILTON will submit his motion to the House of
Commons upon this difficult and delicate subject,
and we think it probable that the result of this mo-
tion will. in a great degree, determine the line of
treatment which the Ministers of the Crown will
pursue towards her MAJESTY. Whatever their
private wishes may be upon this matter, whatever
their own resolutions, if indeed they have formed
any, for the regulation of their conduct in the ar-
rangerneut of her MAJESTY'S circumstances, public
or domestic, they will, we doubt not, in pursuance
of their usual custom, accommodate themselves to
the opinions of the House of Commons, and adopt
the suggestions of the Opposition itself rather than
incur the risk of losing their places. The Minis-
ters may by this happy facility of disposition, be in
cue sense at least said to be prepared for every ex-
tremity. Their first object in the consideration of
every topic is to ascertain as nearly as possible,
previous to discussion, not the justness or expe-
diency of the measure proposed, but how far they
are likely to secure a majority of the House of
Commons. Should they be deceived in their calcu-
lations,snd find themselves either Man absolute mi-
nority, or in such a majority as carried no influence
with it, they experience no difficulty in varying
their tones to suit the temper of die House, and
having vainly attempted to lead, are submissively
content to follow. Should the House of Commons
this evening resolve that her MAJESTY'S 'tame
ought to be restored to the Liturgy, it will be re-
stored, mid from the same vote will result an
acknowledgment of the QUEEN'S dignity, and of
the rights that appertain to her rank ; but should
the majority of the House think differently. the
system of cruel persecution will still be pursued;
the Ministers, exulting in their authority, will abuse
it to degrade the Quegx; and the country will suf-

..Iliiilr

ter the miseries of continued agitation. Lord
CASTLEREAGH has indeed stated, that an further
prosecutions, in the way of public trial, were in-
tended against the Queen ; but as Mr. Beotlonmit
well added on Wednesday evening, amidst the
cheers of the House, that the prosecutions in the
way of punishment were not disclaimed, it cannot
be doubted that the Ministers, if sanctioned by
Parliament, would gladly treat her MAJESTY as
guilty, although they were themselves obliged to
acknowledge that they could taut expect a con.
victim' of criminality, and therefore prayed the
House of Lords that they might withdraw their
Bill, and sufFer • consequence equivalent to a sun-
suit ; but should the House of Commons ri solve to
protect her MAJESTY from such illegal and LiiiCOn-
-14411601d proceedings, the Ministers will very
readily submit to the decision, and only prey that
the subject may then be closed for evir.
Upon this point we seriously entertain hopes that
the result of the discussion this evening will be
such is will gratify every honest roan in the empire,
and be mainly instrumental in restoring the public
mind to a state of tranquillity and repose. This
opinion we draw not only from • reliance on the
good sense, honesty, and discretion, which we are
convinced will, upon great occasions of public con-
cern, influence the majority of the members of the
House of Commons, but more immediately from
the result of Mr. WETHERELL'S motion on Tues-
day evening, for the production of those papers
upon which Lord A. fisintt.Ton's proposition
most be founded. Our readers no doubt are
aware that Mr. WETEERELL'S politics! connexions
are not to be sought among the ranks of the
Opposition in Parliament, that the Learned Gentle-
man is usually regarded as • supporter of the pre-
sent Administration, and from the peculiar circum-
stances attending his motion, that he submitted it
to the House without any ptevioos arrangement with
ally party whatever; they must also be aware that
the motion was not made in accordance with Par-
liamentary usage, which requires some previous no-
tice to be given of a motion for the production of
important papers. Notwithstanding all these draw-
backs, the motion still received, on the spur of the
moment, the support of 169 member., exclusive of
the two tellers—a minority no leis remarkable for
the extent of its numbers than fur the high respec.
lability of the persons who for the most part consti-
tuted it. The list of the minority was published in
our Paper yesterday. The same. Motion was carried
in the affirmative on the next evening without the
slightest opposition on the port of Ministers. From
this circumstance we are inclined to indulge • hope
that the wishes of the country on this subject will
be gratified; and if the Ministers of the Crown,
instead deserting their influence to oppose the
motion, were to yield the point in dispute with a
good grace, and sacrifice their private wishes upon
• mere, matter of foetus they would deserve well of
the country, and secure to it a return of that tran-
quillity of which their proceedings have so long
deprived the public. The Ministers ought to re-
flect upon what they were reminded of by Lord
Jolla linssau., namely, that they originally en-
deavoured to justify the exclusion of the Queues
name from the Liturgy solely on the ground of
her MAJESTY'S having been placed by themselves
in a state of accusation. This pretence no longer
exists, nor can they now persist in refusing to re-
store the name to its proper place of respect and
honour, unless indeed they resolve to be COll66:flit
iu injustice ; and as in the former instance they
thought it proper to punish her MAJESTY even
before trial, so they will now conceive themselves
justified in continuing the punishment after the
trial, although they have themselves acknowledged
the failure of their prosecution.

We have received the Paris Papers of Sun-
day. It being the anniversary of the death of
Louis XVI. it was observed as a strict holiday ; no

Yesterday was a holiday at the Bank, but Lord
LIVBRP001:11 ussurence in the House Of Lords en
Tuesday night, that no loan should be required to
meet the services of the present year, has produced
so favourable an impression upon public credit.
that bargains were transacted yesterday in Three
per Cent. Consols, we understand so high as 7'.
We sincerely hope that the Noble Lord's promises
that no loan will be required, and consequently thut
the expenditure for the year will fall within the in-
come, will be realised. A further improvement in
the funds is anticipated this morning.

Miss ROSALIE CORIII rather exceeds than other-
wise, what we were led to expect from report;
she is indeed a delightful singer; her voice is
beautifully melodious, her execution fine, and
her singing altogether proves her to have a perfect
knowledge of her ■rt. She is likewise interesting
in her person ; her countenance is plea►ing and es.
pressive, and her manners easy and graceful ; her
songs were generally and enthusiastically encored...
sad white ringing, the profound silence of the audi-
ence was the surest proof of her superior merit.—

BOXING.
.....lIINaw.

A gallant battle Was fooght.yesterday in the fields between
the Harrow and the Uxbridge roads, between Iwo as good
natural fighters as ever stripped; Zekiel Goddard, a coach-
man, sad • camper, mek-named the Craftsman. They were
light weight', but though email iu form they were lion-
hearted, and although the gloves had not improved their
hitting, they were good fighter., atid knew noihiag of this
tapping system. The batik arose oat of a publiehmase
quartet, and they staked W. each to fight the next day, whjrb
stake was made 201. aside by their friends. k Goddard was
seconded by P. foams, sad the Craftsman by Ford.
. .

They were in attit•de before they had well shook hands,
after which they went to work, and hit away fur four
minutes, when both were reduced to • stand still. In the
second rally, which lasted smother fou► minutes, the Crafts-
man impressed by • bit in the wind.
2. Both were bleeding from every pore, and piping like •
rawer in the cart of • knacker. Some time was spent in
trying for the first hit, which the Craftsman placed bellied
his adversary's left ear, which left its mark. In the close
both wanted strength and ■ knowledge of the weaving
system, and Goddard was huggtd down.
3. Goddard missed his hit, and fell upon his lice, when
the Craftsman pointed at him with a ghastly gnu.-2 to 1
on Craft.
