L OPIUM. •
MONDAY. SEPTEMBR 4.
Ministers voted voted in opposition to each other on
Tuesday ; the Lord Chancellor opposed the re-cross-
examination of the witnesses by the Queen's Counsel.
The Earls of Liverpool and Harrowby honestly
confessed, that the irresistible arguments of the
Queen's Counsel had convinced them of the justice
of the claim ; they voted accordingly, and the Lord
Chancellor was left in a minority of 15 ! Sometimes
.' When rogues quarrel, honest men get their due"
—but not always so. The proceedings we are sure
have already done more injury to the murals of the
country than could have arisen from all the acts
chargtxl, had they been committed; by the gross and
beastly detail of the Attorney-General in his opening,
we think he has eternally disgraced himself—
but he is not a married man—yes, but he is though,
for we read of Sir Robert and Lady Gifford being •
at Court, &c. &c. But he has no daughters, and
therefore cannot sympathise with a father whose
paternal feelings were outraged by the insertiun of
so unnecessary a detail in the public prints,—yes,
but he has though, for we remember long ago to
have read in the list of births " At his house in
Gower•strcet, the Lady of Mr. Gifford, of a daugh-
ter;'' then indeed is there no excuse for his conduct
which has offended the delicacy of the English cha-
racter, and placed an indelible stain upon his own ;
he might and ought to have opened the case in a
speech which might have been reported in ten lines,
and then have proceeded to call his witnesses, by
which course the greater part of the indecencies
would have been spared, for we cannot find them
elsewhere than in the opening speech of the Learned
Gentleman.

A weekly paper is obliged to curtail the speeches,
and we never rcgretted that necessity so much as
