" The age of chivalry is gone thy ever," said Mr.
Burke, when he apostrophised titc beautiful Marie
Antoinette. Had this distinguished Statesman
Mid Orator lived to the presmt day, he would have
fimnd; that in this country at least, the age of chi-
valry had still one bright period more. It is true that
the Qaeen of England does nut, like the unfortu-
nate Queen of France, require "a thJasand swo?ds
to leap froM their scabh#Als" in her defence ; but
she possesses the hearts of millions who know all her
wrongs, sympathise in her sufferings, and feel an
honest indignation at those who have rendered her
the " most desolate woman on eartlr"

Whatever may be the i,sue of the present pro-
ceeding 4, Englishmen may look b::ch on the sitar,:
they have taken in them with proud satist'action, as
long as to shield the innocent aud succour the op-
pressed are deemed Christian virtues.
Every succeed:llg morning' bring.s its crowd into
the n ighbourhooi of Old Palace Yard ; not consti-
tuted daily of the same persons, but a continuel
aucces.ion of new visitors, all attracted. by the same
cause, all actuatel by the Same feelings.
Wher.wer the Queen app art she meets with the
same en:husiastie recepi ion with which she was first
greeted on returning to this country. Cries of " Gad
bless the Queen !" " Lon,.; live the Queen !" resound
from every quarter. The effect of these exclamations
cannot be otherwise than most cheering to the spirits
if her Nlajeny, ant she seems deeply sensible of the
attaelnn,qit of the people, and of the interest which
her cause excites.

Mr. Brougham's recrwst to have Majocci culled

This Nlsjoeci Li this re-exaaiinatioa was obliged
to swear exae.ly the reverie of what lie 1:;I:1 s•.vorn
the day beflire—Yet do the House cf Lotas allow
the Rareal to be at li:rge.

At about Elf-past 11 on Tuesday morning her
Ntijesty's state carriage entered the outer barrier in
Pahne-yarkl, and proceeded to the House of Lords.
Her Majesty was accompanied by Lady Ann Hamil-
ton and was received by the ofticer and d..tachment
of the Cuards who were upon duty, with every
dem7mstration of respect ; they immediately pre-
senting arms, and remaining in that position until
her Maje:ty, having alighted, hid entered the Huns:
by the usual door. Site lo,ihed extremely well, and
was received wiat the usual affection ve
testimonies of that deep intereA which her extraor
dioary situation has so universally excited. A great
number of geoticuran pressed round her carriage, in
order to inanifJst the same feelings of sympathy and
homage ; the expression of which was gracefu'ly
acknowledged by her Majesty. A few minutes
after four o'clock her Alajesty returned front the
I louse of Lords to her residence in St. James's-
square. Oa entering her carriage she was cordially
and triumphantly cheered by the spectators who had
gained admission within the barriers. The crowd
assembled in Parliament-street to witness her de-
ration: was greater titan on any of the forme? days.
The result of the cross-examination of the prin.ird
witness fOr the prosecution excited so joyful an
interest, that thousands of respectable individuals
pressed around her Majesty's carriage to express
their congratulations and their loyal attachment.
The fo.lowing may serve as proofs of the state of
dcpentlnnce and expectance in which many of the
members of the (louse of Peers are, since the pre- •
sent business has been lx,fare the 1 loose. The
Bishop of Lincoln has been translated to %Vint:honer,
with an increase of 15,0001. per annum to his in-
come, in addition to an enormous moonlit of patron-
age belonging to that See. The Bishop of Exeter,
Dr. George Pelham, has also been translated to
Lincoln, with an increase of some theusamis- per
annum, in addition also to a mach greater patronage
than be blare pofaessed. The Bishop of Lanthtft
haabeen tnoiti Dean and Residentiary of St, Paul's
—appointments of about 40001. per annum.

its England, if continued six mouths, will in .that
country purchase him the. means of living in case
and conitbrt the remaiuder of his life. His profits,
comparing them with what men in the slum rank
generally gain, would be thought amplefw a year

than he avould be likely to gain in (ma years.
The following is an extract of a letter from Hers
with, date) the t24.th inst.—" A foreigner was spot.
down here yesterday by the furcign snail, under. ties,
care of Mr. Kay, King's Messeng:r. Ile was 'sent•
on hoard the Earl of Leicester packet ; not allowett.
anycommunication than the shore ; and the packel
sailed with hint this morning thr Cuxhaven.'
It was halt past eleven o'clock on Friday morning
when her Majesty arrived at the House of Lords.—,
Having. aliguted, her Majesty proceedei to her re-
tiring room, and there remained till three o'clock,
when the first female witness was called. The
Queen than entered the House, steadfastly eyed the
witness, and took her scat below the Counsel. • She•
remained about half an hour, till the witness began
to speak of the fultiliarhy towards 11:.:rgami (or Pa-
gami, us he is called hi the Lords' printed evidence),
and her Majesty then suddenly rose, hastily quitted
the House, proceeded to her room, and ordered the
carriage to be brought round immediately. It ac.
eordingly soon approached; and on i:s arrival the
Queen got into it, passing aloog the passoges
a. hurried step, and casting about her an indigthmt
look. Sho lett the 'hve evidently much hurt.
The very r:Aisonable proposition of the Earl of
Daraley thr separating the examined witnesses from
those who are still to be examined appears to have
been resis:el by Lord Liverpool iu a most extraor-
dinary manner. His Lordship " could not see how
it was paisible—all that could be done was done ;
the posin having the care of each set of witnems
gave thou the strongest injunction not to eonveme
together on the subleet of the.trial—notliing eise
could be done.' -Now it is pretty weil known that
these celebrated, or rather notorious witnesses, arc
confines in Cotton-garden. and if they were °My
removed as far as the Penitentiary at Nliiliaok. or to "
Totoill Dridewell (either of which places 'is--
perluips too evatfortuble f►r th:m), his .Lordslitis
would find it nut only possible to keep the ex.:miNcil
witnesses separate from the nnexamined, but to give ,
each of thou a little solitary coaiii.emetit in a sepa-.
rate cell.
