PROCEEDINGS OF THIS DAY.

The usual forms were this morning gone
through, after which apologies were made for
the non-attendance of Lord HAWSE, Viscount
SYDNEY, and the Marquess of BUCHINOHAM.
Earl GREY then moved that some Noble Lord,
whose name we could not hear, from the noise in
the House, should be excused for non-attendance.
The Earl of BALCARRAS (who spoke so in-
distinctly as not to be heard) complained of a
.
Breach of Privilege on the part, of The Times
newspaper of Friday last. lie held the paper
in his hand, and commented for some time on
the leading 'article. Ile regretted having been
obliged to complain of that paper, but it threw
out injurious and unfounded aspersions on the
character of Colonel and Lady Charlotte Lind-
say, while remarking on Dr. Lushington's obser-
vations at the Bar. In that article an allusion
was made to the letters which, her Ladyship had
written to her husband, in which it was stated,
that she gave a very different opinion, relative to
the. Queen, from what she did at the Bar. His
Lordship declared he had seen that correspon-
dence, and he•could assure their Lordships, that
it did not,contain one wot d, directly or indi-
rectly, at all bearing on the case. Ile had also
to vindicate the character of Colonel Lindsay
from the charges against him ; for he had gone
to India in early life,where he had fought bravely,
and he had also fought under the Duke of Wel-
lington in the Peninsular war, to whon, he could
appeal as to Colonel Lindsay's bravery. In
allusion to what had passed respecting the
Colonel and his Lady, he thought the Learned
Gentlemen had better be contented with the
goodness of tileir cause, than attempt,to wound
the character of individuals. He could assure
their Lordships that Col. Lindsay's life had been
Marked by dignity and honour throughout.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE had no wish to pro-
long this discussion in any way, but he con-
ceived it his duty to state that he had attend-
ed most seriously to the Learned Counsel

(Doctor Lushington), and he was pretty cer-
tain that his speech did not contain one sen-
tence that could be construed to reflect on the
characters of Colonel or Lady Charlotte Lindsay.
Nothing, he was \ convinced, was more remote
from the intention of the Learned Counsel than
to r <lint on either of them.

Dr. LUSIIINGTON could assure the Noble Earl
who made this complaint of the report in that
Paper, and also those Noble Lords who heard
him, that if any thing had fallen from him which
was prejudicial to her Ladyship's character, he
would most willingly be the first to retract it— The
statement was founded on misapprehension of what
he said, and the moment he was informed of it, he
applied to Lady Charlotte, with an explanation.
He was happy to state that he had received a letter
from Lady C. Lindsay, which declared that she
was satisfied with the explanation he felt it his
duty to give.

The LORD CIIA?.{CELLOa here observed, that

it did not appear to him at the time that any one
question was put to the witness at the Bar by the
Attorney-General, or that one remark had been
made which ought not to have been made.

The Earl of BALCARRAS declared himself sa-
isfied with what had passed on the subject in the
louse ; and here the matter ended,

The LORD CHANCELLOR hoped that what had

just passed would serve as a caution to persons
out of doors not to be so ready to believe those
representations which were given of the proceed.
ings of the House.
