would I.e honoured by it. If the prosecutimi ended by shot
would be called an establishment of the charges against the
Queen, the situation. of the Com t mould be one of dignity
and honour, and those who attempted' to degrade her mould
be themselves degraded.
TI e motion was then carried without a division.
Alderman WAITIIMAN then movcd, that the Lord Mayor
should convey the thanks of the Court to her Majesty.
The Lu►o MAYOR rose, in much agitation, and requested
that the Court would excuse him from performing that
duty.
Alderman WAITIIMA N did not wish to put any unnecessary
trouble upon his Lordship, hut it was through his Lordship
that all communications of the kind must he made. If lie
had proposed any other way, he wou:d be highly censura-
ble. flail his Lordship been called upon to go with thanks
upon the Walcheren Expedition, he no doubt would do 0,
because it was his duty. His Lordship could then have nu
objection to act upon this occasion.
The Loen MAYOR said, he was as much against a spirit of
disaffection toe arils her Alajesty as any man could be. No
man more approved of what bad been done in favour of the
Qtrecti than he did, but still he trusted the Court would
excuse him.
The motion was carried. _

Alderman WAI !IMAM then moved, that it be referred to
the Cintittibtee of City Lands to drr,d. upon the 'met pro-
per place in the Chamber of the Common Council to hang
up her Majesty's portrait in.
Mr. Wtl.l TAMS (of Smithfield) seconded the motion.
Mr. OLDHAM could not agree to the proposition pending
the proceedirws in the- Lords, to place the picture of the
Queen in the Council Chamber. The better plan would be
to leave it to a Committee to decide upon the most oppro-
priate place. Althutrali he believed there was a vast mid of
conspiracy against the Queen, and that she had been most
cruelly treated, he was nut prepared to say that there vas
not a prima facie case, shirt' rciptired an answer from her
Majesty. He proved on amendment, that in the former
motion the words "Chamber of the Common Council" be
omitted.
Mr. FAVF et. said, that a Committee might put the portrait
in the Most degrading situation in Guildhall, and thus
degrade the Court that had accepted the honour.
Mr. Parmu said, he hoped the Court would not disgrace
themselves by asking the opinion of a Committee, after
having accepted the portrait of the Queen.
Mr. CLARKS disapproved of the mode of prosecuting the
Queen, hut what had been done required an answer. Would
it not be most lamentable to' be obliged to pull down the
picture at a future period. It ought to be remember,
that the Report of the Committee was to come before the
Coact, and that the Court could object to it.
Mr. Praises denied that a prima facie case had been
made out against the Queen, and contended that the verdict
of the Tribunal who were now trying her could be of no
conserprenee, that Tribunal being unconstitutional.
The Loan Maven said he never would sit in that Court
to hear the highest Tribunal in the kingdom called uncon-
stitutional.
Mr. NARSOII said, the Conrt had already declared it so,
and called to the Clerk to read the proceedings of the hist
Court. He declared that when any Court took bpon itself
to exercise functions that were not recognized by the Con-
stitution, that Court was acting unconstitutionally. (Hear.)
DIRD MAYOR..—" That is different from your first
statement!'
Alderman WAITIIMAN said, that the order of that Court
unuld not be maintained, nor the hominess of it carried on,
if the Lord Mayor took upon himself perpetually the cha-
racter of at bitrater and commentator. lle would declare
that the tribunal by which her Majesty's case was to be de-
cided was unknown to the Constitution....

Mr. Dirom said. the Lord Mayor would have bees a mere
nullity if he had not noticed the words.
After some further conversation, a division took place,
'lwo there appeared

The Portugaese Regency have issued a Prods-
mathti, convoking the Cortes, at the same time
that they designate the gallant Patriots st Oporto
Insurgent". The Members of the Regency hoot-
ever content themselves with treading in their trick,
and following them as their leaders. The ompfaley

ultimately be sent off to the Brasil, as Portugal
will dispense with their future services. Ile Junta

' l'ortugal is tranquil, and whether the Cortex arc
assembled by the Regency or the Constitutionalists,
they must produce an important change. Portogel
is our ancient ally, and we must rejoice in every
circumstance that adds to her happiness, or improves
her condition. The revolution, like that of Spain
and Naples, recognizes the sovereign, and it is like*
to succeed without a civil comiaotion, which seldom
ends otherwise than in military tyranny, or some
fatal change for the worse.
When her Majesty wcat ashore at Greenwich.
after her aqu-tic excursion to Woolwich, the plate
used on board her barge was put into a basket mid
given in charge to her black servant Lugano. The
crowd on the bench was so great, that he MIS sepa-
rated from the rest of die suite, and in the general
' bustle the Royal carriages left Greenwich withoet
him. Poor Lugano could speak nu English; gad lie
wandered about the place in his oriental cealttiais,
perfectly bewildered. At length, however; he net
with a pensioner who had some leowledge of the
Portuguese language, a talk took place htween
them, when it was agreed they should set out toge-

they arrived safe at four o'clock the fullowing morn.

Some of the papers have, for months past, from
time to time asserted, that the Bank had relinquished
its intention of issuing the new notes in preparation.
Tho fact is, the machinery is so ver-: complicated,
that it has taken much longer time than want ex-
pected to complete it, and no time is yet specified
for the issuitb, the new notes, though every bout's
delay is to belimented, as no dread of punishment
prevents the forgery and. utterance of the present
notes, which arc unfortuately easily imitated'.
