The Bill against. the Queen has now dwindled
into the detail. Yesterday was dedicated to the
bringing up of the Report ; but to-day will be
consigned to the third reading—a measure of
more doubtful issue. We wished for the pre-
vf!ntion ottliis mischievous, cruel, and unjust
measure, before it commenced : we, therefore,
wish for its frustration at any period of its pro-
gress. A hope is entertained, as many voted for
the Bill in its previous stages, on au understand-
ing that the Divorce. Clause was to be omitted,
and as their expectation has not been fulfilled, that
those oppuguers of the Divorce Clause, joined to
the, general enemies of the measure, will produce
its rejection on the third reading. We doubt of
the certainty of this hope, though we wish for its
completion. If the conduct of the Queen were
at all doubtful with the. people of England, we
.should not wish to get rid of the Bill by -a
manoeuvre ; but the nation being perfectly as-
sured of the Queen's innocence, and the Bill, if
it succeeded, being able to implant no other con-
viction, the manner in which the measure is
frustrated is of no importance. The truth is, as
every one knows, that there is not a woman in
the realm, of whatever virtue, or of whatever
character, that might not have been proved guilty
of incontinence'at a much less expence of-money,
of sunotnation, and of perjury, and that with a
main whom she had never seen.

In the Sitting of the Spanish Cortes of the 24th
ult.. Senor Magarino presented the three following
Resolutions, relative to the existing state of the
Provinces of the Rio Plata:—
I. That the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in con-
seevience of what he stated in his memorial read in the Session
of July I ftli nit., and in conformity with what was done
re-
lative to the negociation with the !Toiled States about the
Fluridas, should he called to give an account to the Cortes
of what is officially known regarding the occupation of Monte
Video by the Portuguese troops.
2. That the Minister for the Affairs of the Colonies should
give an account of what measure he has taken for the pacifi-
cation of those Provinces, making known to them the advan-
tages which their union with the Peninsula, under a consti-
tutional Government, would procure for them.
S. That a special Commission be appointed to examine into
the subject, and to, propose the means which should be adopt-
ed, both for securing the 'surrender of the said fortress of
Montt-Video, and for alleviating, in any possible way, the
calamities which are endured in those regions by loyal
and deserving Spaniards, who are subjected by force to
a foreign faction, and to ie ambition of strangers. These
Resolutions were seconded by Senor Moreno Guerra.. Count
Toreno, arid Vargas Ponce expressed an opinion, that, as
the subject was of great importance, it ought first to be•dis=
cussed in beeret, anil that the resolutions should be sent to
the Commission of Politics.

Senor Magarino thought that the Secretaries of
State, and of the Colonies, should be called and
beard before the Commission on his third propo-
sition was nominated. This was put to the vote
and carried. —(lbitt.)

Whatever may be the ultitnate--fate of the Bill
for degrading her Majesty—Lwhether justice or
mistaken expediency prevail, the great question
upon which all our arguments-have been founded
is decided. The Queen of England has been
found guilty of adultery by the highest Tribunal
in the, world, and by a majority of at least ten to
one in that august Body. Suppose, then, that
auy erroneous view of policy should cause the
present "measure to be lost, what is to follow ?
The Country cannot endure a Convict Queen.
Their Lordships! vote must be rescinded, or
some new 'Bill must be introdaced to limit those
prerogatives, and effect that formal removal from
her rank, which the verdict of guilty has ren-
dered absolutely indispensable. It will be well.
to look forward to this co:itingency now. As
the Queen is, to all intents and purposes, ren-
dered infamous by the decision of her Judges,
aid, as inflany and the rights of a Queen Consort
are uttell- incompatible as no civilized nation,
no virtuous, moral, reli'igious,"or 'even -decent
ipeorle, •cuu consent to Live under the dominion

and example of female pollution—we should be
glad to learn what succedaneum is provided to
save us from dishonour, and the Throne from dis-
grace, should the monstrous anomaly happen,
that after declaring her Majesty a notorious
adultress, all further process should be dropped.
Sober John Bull and his gallant Mistress will be
but an ;11-matched couple—morality and harlotry
will yoke ill together.

[Morning Chronicle.]
We hope this day will put an end for ever to
this pestilential measure, and that the country,
which has suffered so much from the subserviency
.of Ministers, will at length be allowed some re-
pose. If, however, in this hope we should be
disappointed, and. Ministers, in spite of all the
unconquerable objections of so many Peers to
the Divorce Claftst; should still succeed in pass-
ing the Bill, the Country must make exertions
proportionate to the magnitade of the calamity
with which it would be threatened. Is. -the
Country to be kept for a period, the 'ditration of
which no man can calculate, in a state -of turmoil
and irritation, merely because Ministers 'choose
to remain subservient, and have More regard for
their own interests than those of the 'public ?
Let Meeting,s be every where held for the pnr-
pose of petitioning the House of Commons to
bring this Bill, if it should ever be presented to
them, to a premature death. If ever it
should be entertained by the house of COm,
mons, the inquiry would assume a very different
shape before them from what it did in the Lords:
There, a non mi ricordo witness would at once
meet the usual reward of prevarication,'ls There
we should not hear of perpetual referenceS to
the Courts below, with a view:to defeat the ends
of justice by opposing its forms to inquiry.—
There the Milan Com Missioners would be brought
forward, and the conduct of the Conspirators
exposed to open day. - The country would ne-
cessarily lean► a little more than it has yet done
of the mysterious union between the.-Ministers
of the King of Hanover and the Milan Commis-
sioners. Knowing then how different is the arena
on Which the parties would meet, we can hardly
think that Ministers will have the temerity to
expose their rotten cause to such a severe trial. In-
deed,
.it was the general opinion in the Ilotise of
Lords, that the Bill could not possibly make its
way through the Commons.

Much speculation is afloat respecting the pro-
bable result of the division which will take place
this day on.the third reading of the Bill:, Many
Peers and Bishops who voted against the divorce
clause are pledged to refuse their sanction to the
measure, clogged as it is with this condition, so
that should the .number of Members voting on
the third .reading be the same as of the Peers
who voted on the former division, the. Bill must
either be thrown out, or be supported by so in-
significant .a majority as must deter Ministers
from pressing it to a division in 616' House of
Commons. It is, however, to be apprehended,
that the Ministers, seeing the extremity of their
danger; will exert all their influence to compel a
full attendance of additional Members, on whom
they can rely for support, while they will induce
such of the supporters of the Bill on tiie second
reading, who are opposed to the divorce clause,
to absent themselves from the division on the
third reading, and thus at least neutralize their
'votes since they are unable to secure them. On
the other hand, it is to be considered that, inde-
pendent of the opposition to the divorce clause,
some of the Peers who voted for the second
reading of the Bill, on the presumption that it
would have been supported by a large majority,
may now be impressed with doubts of the expe-
diency of passing a measure of such extreme jut-
portance in the face of so formidable a minority.
They must question the possibility of carrying
such a measure into effect, and might be unwilling
to place Parliament in a situation wherein its
authority may by possibility be set at defiance
by the force of public opinion. They may not
think it prudent to exasperate still further the
public mind, agitated as it undoubtedly now is,
by inflicting a severe punishment where the guilt
of the party is not acknowledged by a fiftieth
part of the nation, and is denied by little less
than half of the House of Lords, and where the
majority of the Peers who denounced the punish-
Meta are too deeply interested in obtaining the
conviction to have been capable of exercising an
impartial and unprejudiced judgment. The ex-
pediency of the measure has become far more
questionable since the nation have seen how many
of the best and wisest men in the House of Lords
have laid their hands upon their hearts, and de-
clared upon my honour."

- INFIMOUS TRANSACTION.—Yesterday Ga-
notte, a young man,. was taken to Marlborough-
street, charged with an.assault, under very extra-
ordinary circumstances, upon a young woman to
whom he was married. It appeared in evidence,
that the prisoner, who had been about the streets
in the most. .abject distress,. endeavoured to be-
. come acquainted with the young woman in ques-
tion, who, in the capacity of .a servant, contrived,
from her industry,. to accumulate the sum of 1001.
The prisoner being aware of this, proposed matri-
mony (after a short acquaintance), which was
readily accepted. As soon as the husband had
pocketed the money, he decamped. His wife,
however, some trine after met him, and upon her
reproaching him with the ingratitude of his con-
duct, he 'crave her a violent blow, of which she
bore evident marks. The prisoner went off ra-
pidly, but was overtaken by a constable. After
au examination, he was ordered.to find bail.
At the Public-Office, Bow-street, yesterday,
two women, of the name of Baker, were commit-
ted for trial, on a charge , of forcibly throwing, a
matt out of a two-pair of stairs window of a house
in Ville-street, Chandos-street.
StiliDEN DEATM—Yesterday,ls Mr. WILLIAM
KELLY, of Cromer-street, St. l'ancras, was walking along
Tottenhans.Court-road, on his way to the White Horse Cel-
lar, from whence he was alma to start Tutu the country, he
was attacked with a giddiness in the head, fell-down on 'the
pavement, and immediately expired.
