Kouses, again became filled by ladies of distinction.—
The appearance which they presented was elegant in the
extreme, and the interest manifested by them did ho-
nour tu their feelings. At four o'clock Use bustle among
the Peers' carriages, add anxiety to press forward to the
outer door, indicated: the tertnitialion of the day's busi-
ness in the House. AtooN the firtisagiassubat 40o*
off was that of his Roval Merles. The Dille of Glou-
cester. The Royal bake was loudly cheered by the
people, and his Royal Highness repeatedly bowed in
return. His Royal nighties, the Duke of York rode
from the House in the same manner as he arrived there,
attended by his groom. The crowd pressed closearound
hint and a patrol of the Guards made a movement as if
to dear a passage, but his Royal Highness waved his
hand as if to avoid the interference of the military. The
multitude received the Duke with the same enthusiast's
which marked his arrival in the morning. Shouts of
" Long live Frederick I" " Lon; live the Queen !" were
re-echoed from all sides. His Royal Hignitess repeatedly
bowed as he passed through the crowd, which continued
to address him in the most flattering manner while lie
remained within sight. The next personages recognised
by the people were not so fortunate as to meet with
a similar reception; they were the Duke of Wellington
and the Marquis of Atiglesea. These distinguished
personages were on horseback. The crowd particularly
passed around the Duke, and shouted " We must have
the Queen—no foul play, my Lord—the Queen for ever!"
Others exclaimed—" The army for ever, my Lord."—
and one person, who was on horseback, rode alongside
the Duke, and said " The Qaceii and the army." His
Grace rode on apparently indifferent to the surrounding
bustle ; he occasionally smiled at those of the crowd who
pressed the nearest to him, and said " Yes, yes." to the
reiterated exclamations of some of the most persevering
among them who continue.'. to vociferate" Long live the
Queen !" The Marquis of Anglesea did nut manifest
the same command of temper: he spurred his horse,
and seemed anxious to get rapidly through the crowd.—
'lneir Lordships rode through the horse-guards, the
gates of which edifices were immediately closed as they
passed, and the crowd prevented front entering St.
James's Park. Earl Grey, Lord lloliand, ant! several
other Peers, were loudly cheered. But few of them had
driven oft when the Queen's carriage approached the
door at which she had alighted; and her Majesty again
took her seat in it, and departed (coin the house in the
same state which marked her arrival in the meriting.—
The immense ltitaide who surrounded her was, if
possible, greater than in the morning—their enthusiasm
the same, for it could not possibly be exceeded. The
shouts of " Long live the Queen 1" were universal and
deaf g. The ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and
the demonstrations of popular attachment were loud and
general, and each class of society seemed to vie with the
others in an anxiety to pay homage to their Queen its
this hour of her trial. pier Majrnty appeared somewhat
exhausted by the fatigue and anxiety she must have sus-
mined throughout the day. She repeatedly bowed to
the people, and appeared deeply sensible of the extra-
ordinary interest they manifested in her behalf. The
Queen was escorted back to her residence iii St. James's
Square by the Hon. K. Craven, Sir W. Gell, and our.
Alderman Wood. The sante military honours were
paid her as she passed the sentinels at Carlton Palace,
and she alighted at her house exactly at live o'clock. St.
James's Square was thronged to excess by carriages filled
with personages of distinction, who seemed anxious to
see her M.oesty return. The crowd continued in front
of the Queen's residence until a late hour in toe evening.
We meter remember to have seen a crowd concregated
for such a length of time less disturbed by tumult or dis-
order of any kind. The police were stationed in every
direction, and expresses were hourly passing to and from
the 14th regiment of Dragoons and other corps stationed
at Greenwich, Deptford, Lewisham, and the neighbour-
ing WWII,.
The following orders were issued and delivered to the
several messengers and officers of the House, for the
guidance of their conduct :
" House of Lords, Aug. 17.
" The entrance for members to the House of Com-
mons is cough the long gallery only.
" The dour-keepers have strict directions not to anow
any iterson whatever to pass the outer door, where stran-
gers are admitted, without a Peer's order."

When the decision was to take place in the
House of Commons respecting the impeachment of
Lord Melville, Pitt reckoned upon Sir Gerard (theta
Colonel) Noel, whose name now stands before the
public in so favourable a light), as the son-in-law of
Lord Barham, who was at that time First Lord of
the Admiralty, voting with the Ministry, awl made
sure of a majority, however small. Contrary to this
expectation, Sir Gerrard, who always votes as an
independent country-gentleman, according to his
conscience, gave his vote fur the impeachment, which
brought the votes equal, instead of giving Pitt a
majority of two. The Speaker's vote decided it.--
.'Thus it may be said that the uprightness of Sir
Gerard Laubcd the atbption of LILL.
