This courier. with as many name* as the week had

mention. But in deocribing the peep which the
rascal said he had mode into the carriage he proved,
that as his eyes Inuit have been uplifted when he
was thus peeping, it was utterly impossible fur lima
to have seen any thing below. much less the
filthy thing which lie had described. Now this

That Colouthier, that Countess, that most infa-
mous of street-strumpets, whose mind was erea
snore poisonous than her body, said to the patty he
hail before mentioned, that she could have what
money she pleased by applying to Lord Stewart,
and undertaking to give evidence against the Pi iu-
cess. To which the person had replied, that she
had better not meddle with the subject—thet
she had, when she first came over to this coun-
try, described the Princess as pure. virtuous,
generous, and in all ways excellent. On the totter
hand he appealed to her to consider what she could
be doing if she undertook to contradict all this tor
the sake of a little money. She perhaps thought it
better to be duieg that than nothing. lt was a floe

arrival of the Queen sod the introduction of the

by its head having beets engaged as an agent to
prepare the way for bringing iii that Bat. He
lamented that not one of the Bishops had taken a
step to check the loathsome progress of the Bill, or
had ever voted ou it but with Ministers. Here was
a charge without an accuser, as iu iBCG there had
been a child without a father. He protested ',paint

although endowed with learuitig and the deepest
knowledge of the laws, were so placed that they-
could not do wrong. The laws took away their
discretion. If they did not observe and enforce
both the law and the evidence they were liable to
impeachment. But who was to impeach the Leld4
if they did wrong ? A tribunal of political Judges
welt the worst of all tribunals. Before lie closed be
reminded them that one Barbara Krantz had hero

been whipped through Carlsruhe, for mitamig or •
