of Lord LiVerieCfll and tile Lord Owner:llor, the 'Multi

Patton felt many years ago on the marriage of the Prince
of Wales into a Plows:ant Family, and the favourable
constquences anticipated Goth that event; but there
wets sortie who set a greater value on their own inclina-
tions than good advice. The condom adopted towards
her Majesty, aiiiirded ample viols that plots had been

to prove her Alajesty gaily, and Lon the respectable test-
Loony by whieft she laud been exonerxed limn every im-
propriety, and her perfect innocence established. The
Di ill of Pains and Penalties had been introduced because
there existed nu law 11 which innocence could be
con-
demned. The enemies of tile Qin-en tell us, s.iid he,
that her cause is sinking, hut it is sinking into our hearts
too deeply to be ever eradicati.d. The Itey. Gentlenian,_

nimously.

Of wretches had been gravely brought torward to support
a tale of scandal, that if they hail toil setti it realtztd, it
would be deemed incredible, and if such events were
detailed in a drama, it would be inevitably damned, on
the ground that the author went beyond all human
probability. Ile then relented to the manner it. which
the nation had been demoralised by the circulation of
the evidence ftir weeks before her Alai:sly could contra-

Petty Jurors, Prosecutors, and Judges. Aker many

of Ell.tlaud would be heard, and that her I.ijiisiy's ene-
