THE ITALIAN WITNESSES.

The Italian witnesses against the Queen were
yesterday afternoon, about half-past ►wo o'clock,
taken from Cotton-garden in binges, for the pur.
pose, we iiresiiine, of being put on board a vessel
prepared fur it...importing them to their own country,
There were six barges of four oars each ; each
barge conveying four or five of the Italians, with
their luggage. The barges left Cotton•garden
separately; and by sweeping round the Thames
Police ship, obtained the middle of the river as
quickly as possible, for the pnrpose evidently of
escaping public observation. The hope, however,
if formed, was vain; for the departure of the first
boat happened to attract tile eye of some person on
Westminster Bridge, who immediately drew the
attention of others to the circumstance, and an
immense crowd was soon assembled to witness the
final departure of the ruffian crew.

The first host-load escaped tolerably well, hut as
each of the succeeding Live approached the bridge
it was received with the loudest hisses, hootings, and
execrations. Every term of reproach and insult
was poured out upon the Italians (happy so far
in their ignorance cf our language), and also upon
their employers; mud was showered on them by
handrails, and we fear that even some stones were
thrown against the barges as they passed. Our in-
formant, however, rltd not see that any stones were
thrown, and is certain that none of the persons in suy
of the barge. appeared to have received ally serious in-
jury. The barges were rowed rapidly, and as it was
not probable that the passengers in them were recog-
nised at ally other port of the river, it is to be pre-
sumed that they reached the vessel prepared for
them in safety.

The trial of the QUEEN being now ovet, and
Parliament on the eve of proroguing for two or
three month•, the old hoaxing warfare, fur the pur-
pose of filling their columns, has commenced be-
tween the Cornier and the Morning ('hroniele.
The former opened the campaign last night with
the following attack :—" The Mowing Chronicle.
which maintained a ridiculous silence for weeks,
during the QUEEN'S trial, and which only began
to espouse her csnie when there was an appearance
of safety iii doing so, is now courting the Radicals
with great assiduity."—This certainly is a point
blank shot, soot cannot fail to produce a thunder.
jog retott. The high•mettled and high-spirited
Chronicle surely would he incapable of submit-
ting to be gigged until it were ascertained which
way the cat jumped.

at ten o'clock in the morning, to hear cause peti-
