HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS DAY.

The Loizn eItANCELLOR took his seat on the
Woolsftek reeisely at ten o'cl'oc!c. ; after which,
prayers were read as usual by the Lord Bishop
of Llaudaff. The Clerk then read over the list
of names, and no defaulters appearing, the LOrd
Chance!for directed the cross-examination of the

witness Majocci to be resumed.
Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. DENMAN, &c. took their
places at the Bar, as did also Theodore Ma-
jocci, attended by the Deputy Usher of the
Black Rod.

Previous to the examination commencing,

The Earl of DARLINGTON rose to move that

the evidence which was received in support of
the present charges day by day should be print-
ed, and thus put into the hands of Members. It
would be of the greatest possible advantage to
their Lurdships to have, this given them, because
they would thereby be the bettor. enabled to
form a cool crn lesion on the subject. He there-
fore moved that an order of their Lordships
should be made to that effect.

'The Earl Of LI vrapoor. said, that there could
be no possible objection to the motion of the No-
. l•
ble Lord; • but he suggested that perhaps it might
be as well for their Lord Ship- not to make any
formal order on the subject. The delay of which
the Noble. Lord complained was , occasioned
solely .•by an anxiety to put their Lordships in
possession of,
,the most accurate statement of the
Evidence—a thing to be at all times desired, but
partiCularly in a case of such vital importance as'
the present. , Ile would, however, suggest that
the ordinary mode might be adopted, instead of
any-formal order.

The flarl of L'A.uptrtir agreed with the two ,1
Noble Lords in the propriety of having the Evi-
dence furnished to their•Liordships every morn-
ing. lie believed that the:Noble Earl at the
Head of the Treasury WaS sincere in what he
stated, because be knew that the delay in print-
ing the Evidence was occasioned by the Notes
of the Short-hand Writer being furnished to the
Clerk of the house, with whose notes they were
afterviards compared, and then sent to the
Printer. Ile therefore agreed, that perhaps the
Lest and most satisfactory way of acting would
be to let the Short-hand Writer's notes be at
once sent to the Printer, because by so doing
their Lordships would be in early possession of
the facts, and would thereby be able, in the
hours of retirement from the House, to read over
the whole, and come to a legitimate conclusion.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL pledged himself that

the F,vidence she tld be regularly
.printed and
delivered to their Lordships.
The Earl of DARLINGTON was perfectly satis-
fied, and withdrew his Motion.
Oeders were accordingly given for the print-
ing of the evidence, de die irt diem.
Mr. BaouGtom then proceeded in the cross-ex=
amination of Theodore Majocci.—Witness does not
remember the Princessbing visited by a-German
Baron at Genoa or Venice. Remembers one com-
ing to see her while at the Villa Viliani. -Can-
not remember his name, Does not rethember if
it was liotnaer. 'Does not remember if it Was
OmpJetta: Can't say what the name was. The
room of Bergami. 5 contiguous to that of the
Queen. It was accessible thro' witness's apartment.
There was another" passage. Billy, as he was
called, Or William Austen, slept in a contiguous
apartment. None of the , domestics were re-
moved to any great distance. The Princess had
an open free manner. She was very familiar to
all about her, particularly to Bergami. On
leaving her service, witness was supplied with
,money. Does not know whom it came froth.
It lasted some time. Does not remember when

it was done. In one place -there was a room
wliere the Queen stopt, and which was close to
her's, and was called the " Baron's room." Does
not remember mho the Baron was. Does not re-
member name. Does not remember whence
he was supplied with money- after the former sum
was exhausted. (The lut2rpreter had some dif-
ficulty in making him understand this ques-
tion, and the answer was given with much
reluctance; and some, difficulty occurred in
giving the proper explanation.) The Witness
lived free of charge at present. Does not think
•
but that he will be called on for payment of-liis
bill. The servants rooms were near those of the.
Princess. There was a second passage to his
room, instead of going through the Cabinet.
When - our. Reporter left the- House, Mr.
Bnou.onAm had finished his cross-examination,
and the SOLICITOR-GENERAL had commenced
his- re-examination of the witness. Her MAJESTY
was present.

We shall steadily refrain from all animadver-
sions on the alleged conduct of THE QUEEN, not-
withstanding the lamentable narrative of the first
witness, who is chiefly attacked by the factious
writers because he does not remember specified
facts which he is required to answer. It may be
observed that it was impossible for him to ima-
gine that he should ever be called to give evi-
dence upon what he had seen, in a foreign country.
G ranting that Many. things which might have
passed before him were not observed by him,
yet what he did observe, does remember, and has
stated, is fully sufficient, if true. It should be
ob-
served, too, that he is placed in a scene wholly
new, and before the most august Tribunal on
earth, and, therefore, it is to be supposed
that under such an impression such faculties as
he possesses might be bewildered. But we are
glad that her MAJESTY'S Counsel have free lati-
tude of cross-examination ; and if they can dis-
prove the evidence of this Witness, and convict
him of perjury, let him be consigned to the ab-
horrence, the infamy, and the punishment which
he will deserve. Many attempts have been made
to eAplain the almost frantic agitation which
THE QUEEN discovered at the sight of this Wit-
ness, and the exclamation which she uttered, and
words have been added to it which she assuredly
-did not utter : all that she positively said was
" Theodore," or " Oh! Theodore;" but we are
assured that " Theodore" was all she did say:—
It is urged ,that Tut Qc EEN,Was informed that this
Witness was to appear against her. If so, her
surprise is not to be.acconnted for, and her ex-
clemation is wholly inexplicable, and any at-
tempts to explain it must proceed from partial mo-
tives on one side or other. Though we should
be shocked on finding that corrupt and wicked
Witnesses should exist, we shall rejoice to see
their falsehoods detected, their malignity de-
feated, and her MAJESTv's innocence fully aster-
tained.--:But what must be thought of The Old
Times, which accuses Government of a Conspi-
racy against THE QUEEN, and accords to her the
honours of TRIUrefPIIANT INNOCENCE, though but
one Witness has been examined—and which says
" every tittle of the calumny has destroyed
itself "—adding, " we trust we may announce
to the expectant Nation that the festive gar-
lands may be preparing." If- Tha Old, Times
thinks thus upon the evidenCe of one witness, be-
cause that witness cannot recollect every thing,
or may have appeared inconsistent on some, points,
what must be thought of the understanding of the
Writer; and if he does not think so, what must
bc, thought of his, morality ? In fact, the whole
of his reasoning is an outrage on common sense,

add an insult to die Cou-atry, nut let thu fo.
lowing passage, taken from The Old Times o'
this day, speak for itself, and then let the worlu
at large reflect on what respect and what credo
a Paper capable of such infamous personalitie,
and such daring•libels.upon Government, ougllt
to receive from the Public at large :

" Upon the getting up of this conspiracy, i'l°ll
shall have 'more to say hereafter—suffice it to
observe at present, that this wretched witneffil
who probably does not know what an 00

means, was housed and fed by the British Air,
bassador, Lord Stewart, a man of an extra(
Lion as low as that of Bergarni—of fortunes aIA'
most as rapid—and who has been married to elid
of the Nilealthiest heiresses in Britain, the prese!,
King grating the intended union with his presenc°l
and approbation."

We need not comment upon this libellous char"/
of con'.4piracy on 'Government, low abuse of ;1
Nobleman of high family and the folly of suppe
ing that "a man who" probably does not know whst
an oath means," should be chosen by as wise n'''(l
and honourable a tribunal as ever existed to 00
a Royal Individual, and to impose upon the
Country and =mankind !!
