most distinct as to that point; and when pressed as to his
belief—a belief which might have been fronded in *caudal,
nod generated by the calumnies which had been circulated,
he declined funnier any, mod was perfectly justified iu so
doing. Hs bail not forgottels, nor would their Lordships,
nor could say man forget, the croswirsaminatiow that wit-
nese had undergone. He had no wish to speak with dis-
respect of the Weal sod high attaionaents of his Learned
Friend, the Solicitor-General, and in particular of his
consummate skill and ability in cross-examination, that
most efficient engine fur the discovery of teeth. He
delighted in the skill of an advocate displayed in a
citisa-exantination; he liked to see truth dragged from
her lotting place, and the confession forced from the lips of
the reluctant witness, who often, when most be lamed to
conceal, gave the surest clue to its discovery. But when
a cross-examinatiusi was intended merely to force an
honourable man into trifling ieciersistencies, for the purpose
of casting a 111,11110 of doubt over the remainder of his evi-
dence, although he might admire the talent and iugusuity
dispieed in conducting it, he had little honour or respect
either for the motive* or the consequences of such a cross-
examination. Captain Flynn had produced a paper, per.
fectly immaterial to the case. Supposing that he should be
asked certain particulars of the voyage, he had caused his
clerk to make an extract of slates and pia( es from his jour-
nal. On his arrival in Englawl, finding that from the hail
writing and worse spelling, it was not fit to he produced in
a Court of Justice, he had gut Count Schisvini to write it
over again. Any reference to that paper was quite none-
cessary, was wholly immaterial to the case. His learned
Friend, by the powers of his mind and his countenance,
which he bad exerted to the utmost, hail betrayed that wit-
ness into some inconsistencies, which if the paper had been
of any importance to the issue, might leave lad to a doubt
of the Gabes" of its preparation. Every one knew bow
often it occurred, that, in • new situation, a brave man was
thiliwn off his guard. The old expression "cabin! areas
toiler," had never been more fully exemplified than iu this
instance. No man, however, could disbelieve the general
result of his evidence; au man could doubt, that instead
of being seen kissing us • gun, or under the tent on deck
in open day, had any adulterous purpose existed in the
mind" of the parties, they would have restrained them-
'vivre from those freedoms is the presence of others,
which they sight with so much security have indulged
in in the cabin below. But indecent exhibitions of
another kind had also been charged as occurring on
hoard the polsere, indecent exhibitive's of the person
to divert the Princess; and here was soother break
down in the evidence. What was Bergiidu's evidence
on this palest? That Beigaini had played antics be-
fore the Princess to make her laugh. What had been the
lestirnoay of Howassa ? That there wags* Eagliab Consul

rested of those andel-rut exhibitions, which had been trumped

Majoechi was again summoned to bear witness to the

having probably read what Msjoechi hail stated in his
evidesce, thought it would be as well to give it •
tittle confirmation; but in that particular her evidence
was but of little help, for though ere swore to the kietrisg„
yet she had bees pleased to say that her back being
turned, she could not say whether at was vu the mouth or
the cheek that this kiss had bees given, of which Ma-
jucchi had sworn that he was the only witness, at
which nose but himself beside the parties had been present.
With respect to the evidence of Sacchi, he should have
thought that no husband of any feeling woold have permit-
ted such evidence to he gives epeeist his wife, particularly
if he irellected that the more he loaded her character wills
profligacy, the more he stigmatised his own, for having left

his character are, therefore, left to shift for them.
*elves ; but as the ex-commissioner, no doubt,
shares the anxiety of his learned friend to relieve
his character from the imputations which the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL conceives to have been cast
upon it, we sincerely hope that a proper opportu.
' nity rill soon be afforded him of vindicating his
reputation—at the bar of the Old Bailey. In
the serious difficulties, however. which might arise
from a situation at once so novel and so embarrass.
ing, it is possible that he may enjoy the consolation
of sliming his society and his dangers with a cer.
trio Gentleman who had been the friend and part-
tier of his prosperity. Then. too, will he prove the
tinerrity of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S professions
of friendship and esteem, and will enjoy the advan-
tages that may be derived from the turbulent eh..
queen@ of his !nosed Mend. Titus, sweet are
the uses of adversity." It is likely, however, that
its his situation he will require the full enjoyment
of every solace which friendship cau offer. The
charges to which he will probably have to answer
are of the most serious in dart class of offences—no
less than that he had sought to suborn witnesses
against the Consort of his Sovereign—the QUEEN
of these realms—sod a member by blood as well ea
marriage of the Royal Family of England.
The Lords laving thus rejected the application
of the Arroneeo-Grosast. to postpone the con.
siileratiou of this cue for an indefinite period, re-
quired the Counsel fur the Bill to bring forward
their witnesses to rebut the Queer's defence. To
a solitary instance, however, in the deposition of only
one witness did they apply thentselvei. They re•
called Captain liaocs, of the Letiashow, and trs.
mined him respecting the particulars of a certain
conversatiou which lie had held with Lieutenant
Howssit on the deck of the Levialhate during the
passage of this ship to Palermo. It will be recol-
lected that Lieutenant HOWNAN was in his cross-
examivation inked whether lie had ever in conversa-
tion with Captain BM US informed him that " he
had implored the Princess of WALES on hi. knees,
and with tears in his eyes. not to suffer Benoust
to sit at her table r To this Mr. Howsast replied.
that he recollected uo such conversation, and that
in fact he had never made such a request of her

surprise at Howitase's defect of memory, sod
brought such circumstances to his mind as etieviored
him that alterations had been nude, and even in Mr:
flowx st's presence. Lieutenant HOWN the::
endeavoured to enter more deeply into conversa-
tion with Captain Batons, relative to the proceed-
ings against the QUeee, but the Captain declined
to indulge him. This last circumstance concurring
almost literally with what fell from HOWnAM,
would induce a Suppositiou that, in the agitation
and confusion of mind which must be felt in a
great degree by one who for the first time under:.
goes a strict cro•ii-etlimination in a Court of Jus-
tice, end which must be increased considerably by
the awful character of the tribunal before which
he chanced to undergo this probation, Lieutenant
Ho*Nall might have beets revolving the last cen,
venation with Captain Bitcos at Portsmouth,
and never directed a thought towards the desultory
dialogues held so long before, when he and Capt.
Bosons were sled to take their Morning's walk on
the pm-ter-deck of the Leviathan. From Captain
evidence we collect the further assurance
that Lieutenant HOWIAlles memory is oat at/te-
nacious as that of the gallant Captain ; far it Derma
that the former had actually forgotten that any
alterations had been made on board the Levia-
than, although it was afterwards brought to his
recollection that they had been made even irs
his own presence. There is nothing, perhaps, so
little regarded, and consequently so little under-
stood by the generality of olankindi as the power
or capability of the human memory. When an
cident is yet recent, we couceive our knowledge
of its circumstances so perfect is to defy the in-
fluence of time, and thus in prospect we consider
forgetfulness impossible; and when in a content.
pletive mood we look back upon the events of our
passed lives, recollections crowd upon us so thickle
that we have no space to reflect open how many
may be absent. The absent are as if they had
never been, and thus the retrospect is no less
fal-
lacious in enabling us to form an estimate of the
power of memory. But let some circumstance
arise in the conversation of friends, 'and we Mon dii-
cover how quickly, even in private and Family
affairs, our recollections became imperfect and ob-
'cure. Events hourly occur in our presence of
which we take no note, and the impression which
they might have mode upon the mind is as quickly
erased u the mark of an infant', finger on the send of
the sea. But how shall we venture to excuse forget-
fulness in one party, and impute criminality to an..
other, for alleging an equal defect of memory ? The
difference must depend upon the nature of the Sub-
jects to which their testimony respectively refers,
and the apparent connexion necessarily subsisting
between the parts recollected and the parts mid, to
be forgotten. Much also must depend Open the
moral character of the witnesses, and a knowledge
of the motives by which they may be supposed se-
verally to be influenced. Our reuders.may apply
these remarks to the witnesses for the prose cation
and the defence, as they may conceive them 'to' be
appropriate.

' With this very minute exception, the Counsel
fee the Bill have left the evidence adduced in•be-
half of the QUEEN untouched, and snch being the
case, no doubt can now Vise respectiug the result
