there was tune cifrosustance, which bad been well observed

made a strong impressoon on his mind. He allotted to this
e.siftion given to her Royal Illiglinc•ss by Mr. Craven at
Naples, to lake care how she conducted herself with respect
to Bergsmi. Row happened it that the Prineets of Wales

—(Hear, hear.)
The Marquis of Lanselown rose amidst a gamma' cheer.
Ile said, that be was at onee glad and sorry that the Noble
Duke had addressed their Lordships. Glad, cerleisily, that
the Noble Duke had felt it necessary to speak in explanation
of his reasons for the vote he should give; and sorry, that
the explanation he had given should have stated such rea-
sons as a ground for that vole. The Noble Doke had stated.
Host he was present during the whole of the case for the pro-
erention ;—the Noble Duke had stated, that duusestic res.
1101111, circumstances of a private nature, had reoilered his
attendince inconvenient at the defelice;—the Noble Duke
had stated that be had not beard the evidence fire the de.
!face;—the Noble Duke had stated that he bad sot beard
the pleadings of the Counsel for the Hiaireu. And yet the
Noble Duke, thus acting, and thus staling, thus ignorant of
ball, at least, of the inertia of the case, said he was prepared
to vote, nut only Air the second reading of the Bill,
but for the full penalties of its enactment against the
Queen!—(/cad cheering.)—No doubt, the Noble Duke
conceived that he was seeing according to his cuuscieuce--
that be had formed his judgment conscientiously; but how
his courecieisce had enabled hum so to form that judgment,
the Noble Duke, be •pperliensled, would find it difficult to
rcpt.'s —(Hear, heard—How, lee would ask, coedit the
Noble Duke ensue to such a conclusion as a juror ?—(1/eor,
hear.)—Dud the Noble Duke imagine that by readiug the
evidence he could be. ea:doled to discharge his duly as a
juror!—(Lead and regarded cheers)—Such a c..struction
of the ditties Of it juror was calculated to destroy the Con-
stitution of this country, as applied to she aaministration of
jostice.—(food and continued cheering)—Tbe sacred in-
stitution of trial by jury was cooly good because it compelled
the jurors to bear the whole ease before they costal pro-
Jemmy their verdict.—(ford eheers.)—They bad heard very
recently from a Noble Lord (Lauderdale, we believe), that
the public were incompetent to judge in this case—that
they were incapable of fureniug a jedginent on the vaca-
tion. And why! Because they were not present at the
proceedings—because they had not the opportunity of
hearing the evidence—How, then, according to this doe.
trine, he world ask, could the Noble Duke be considered as
a competent judge of ibis question ? How was he, majors's'',
qualified to form a judgmeut in this case?—(Loud cheering)
—Was he not, by his partial presence, and his absence, re.
doted to a more disqualified state than that of the public
could possibly he ?—(Confinued chtering.)—He spoke
warmly, for he felt warmly ; and after what he had head
from the Noble Duke, sitting there as his fellow Juror, lie
should have guise unhappy out uf that House if he had re.
(rained trona expeeesiug his feelings and his opinion oe what
he had bearil.—(fieur, /sear )—He would now come to the
consideration of Ilse ease more immediately before them.
While the House was yet ender the influence of the power-
ful reasoning of his Noble Friend near him (Earl Grey), he
should have been fearful of weakening I be force of his argu-
ment by any attempt to follow him But after the speech
which bail followed froni the Noble Burl opposite (Earl
Liverpool), he could not bring liiineelf to speak or vote on
this aubject, without touching ois several of the more promi-
nent points "r that 'Perri,. fsom a crinsiderai ion of the effect
it might probably have iii influencing the vole or the House
that pight. Ile did mot feel bionself in the situation of being
able to dismiss from his mind altogether the evidence whirls lie
Ind beard at the bar. Charges of a grave and scrions nature
had been preferred against her Majesty, an itiquily into
their truth had become necessary, and he bad therefore been
woofed, in common with their Lordship', to listen, though
with pain, to the evidence which hail been kill before them.
He had thought it necessary to look into that evidence,
not indeed fur proofs of the it ((((( crime of the Queen, but
for she proofs to Ile adduced by the prosecution so support
of she chews against ter.—(flenr, hear)—That was a
must just and necessary distisictiosi. Tbc Noble Marquis
thee proceeded to discuss the (lineation of the merits of this
measure by the rule of its principle. Bills of Pains and
