The examinatipn in chief of Mademoiselle Du-
mont was finished about 20 minutes before four
o'clock. It still wanted nearly an hour and a
half of the time at which the House usually ad-
journs; but it was presunried'.the . witness, inter-
preter, and all who had been engaged in the
examination, were, froth the length of it, too fa-
tigued to admit of then entering on the cross-
examination, and, with the consent of her Ma-
jesty's Counsel, it was ',therefore postponed to
this day. Her Majesty was not present during
any part of the examination. If report speaks
true, Mademoiselle Duinont is the last witness to
be examined in support of the Bill. In that case
the evidence for the. Bill may be got through in
the course of to-day or to-morrow. . But even
then it would he rash to pronounce any, opinion
with respect to the amount of that evidence ;
for we ought always to bear in mind, that it may
be much affected by subsequent cross-examina-
tion, and by the evidence in behalf of her Ma-
jesty. It is supposed an adjournment will fol-
low the close of the evidence, for the Bill, and
that her Maje Sty will not be allaVed to enter on
her defence till all her witnesses are in this coun-
try. In this .case her Majesty will have great
cause to complain of the hardship to which such
a delay must subject her.' The circulation. of a
mass of evidence for a length. of time, unaccom-
panied by any explanations or counter-evidence,
has a natural tendency to prejudice the public
mind against her. In abstaining,.as we have, all
along-done, from pronouncing any opinion on the
evidence, till the whole of it should be before us,
we conceive most of our readers will think we
have acted wisely. There are circumstances iu
this cuse which cannot he affected by the evi-
dence, and
,on which it was as easy to form an
opinion before the commencement of
.pro-
ceedings as it will be after their close. The
establishment of the charges against the Queen,
in their fullest extent, may, for instance, form no
justification of these proceedings. But be they
justifiable or unjustiable, this is a question quite.
distinct from .that respecting the evidence, as to
the truth or falsehood of the charges. All our
contemporaries have not observed the same can-7
tion ; but we suspect, if the truth were known,
• some of them by this see cause to regret their
precipitancy.

The evidence given yesterday in the House
of Lords by Madairie Dumont against the QT_!en

Although ,the proceedings in the House of
Lords yesterday excited a deep and general inte-
rest, yet we shall adhere to our-resolution of not
entering minutely into the consideration of them.
The character of . the witness, the credibility:of
her testimony, and the consistency of berstate-
ments, are all topics on which we may-hereafter
have occasion to expatiate at some length. But
our present business is merely to reply to those
who contend that ". the course of the .examina.;
tion has yet proved nothing." If by- this be
meant that no -• fact which has been sworn to
ought in the present stage of the cause to be
taken as
,proved, the assertion is a mere truism,
which may be applied, to any trial before the
party accused has-entered upon his defence ; for
whatever number of witnesses swear one way-, it
is possible that the saine. or a greater number may
swear the contrary. But this is not the intended
import of the remark. It is meant to impress the
public mind :with an idea, • that diSgusting and
" filthy " as these " details " are,' they are quite-
irrelevant, that theirtruth or falsehoe‘d is immate-
•rial to the main issue ; and that even supposing
them true, they do not afford any inference' of
guilt. Now, this is certainly as contrary to laW as
it is to common sense.. With. relation to the
particular crime in question, law-writers have
observed that " .being- an act of darkness
and great secrecy, it can hardly be prov.-
ed by any . direct means ;" and, therefore, in
such •a, case, " presumptive evidence ;alone
is • sufficient proof ;" which presumptive evi--
deuce - is. said. to he furnished by- those facts
which are the usual" preludes of debauchery and
of a libidinous conversation." Such is the express
doctrine, such the formal rule of the law, which
after all,-.pursues, in this respect, no other dictate
than that natural reason, by which all mankind-
are guided in the common affairs of life. A man
has nothing to do, in such.a question, but-to sup
pose the case his own, or his neigh'bour's, -and to
consider what inference he would draw from the
facts stated-, in: forming. an :opinion of this
kind, there are many, circumstances which alone
would lead to:no certain conclusion,
.but .Which
taken in conjunction with others, would ten

We, remember . a case,. which occurred about
nine or ten
~years ago. before the ConsiStorial
Court of London, In which the very Learned
Judge - who has so long ;and so ably presided
in that Court, adverted to a circumstance of
peculiar:. indecency -in the conduCt of the par
ties, and argued. from. it.- that they-must ,have
had a previous criminal _connexion, otherwise

Those. of . our readers who 'have at-.

gaz?.oot -respecting the statues of- Adam and.
Eve,
,must feel that if that fact cannot be-cOntro4
verted, the reasoning of the Learned *judge ap-'
plies to.,it,n -all its force. We must conclude,'
by repeating our earnest hope,- that her Majesty.
may disprove all the facts averred against her by
the
numerous-witnesses, Catholic and Protestant
Italians German, Swiss, and English; who•haire •
been
already. -'examined ;• we only :contend on
behalf of public, morals, that the. facts ciannot be
admitted without bearing on the' Neil face of
them the stigma of the grossest turpitude.

The Rouse of Peers, it will be seen, adjourned
[The Times.]
yesterdayto allow Mr. Brougham to proceed through.the
at an earlier hour than usual, in order
cross-examination of the witness. Dumont conse-
cutively, and without interruption. The plain
nullity of evidence is in this case almost of as
much importance as the detected falsehood : it
proves nearly as much with respect to the malig-
nity
of her Majesty's enemies and the weak-
ness of their resources ; . and with this view
we would recommend to general attention
the examination of yesterday. •. A Lady is

at is to prove that it was' possible, through corri-

KINGDOM OF SARDINIA.

THE PIEDNIONTESE ARMY TO THEIR KING.

A Letter from Turin, dated August 14, en-
closes the following Document, said to have been.
actually addressed to, his SARDINIAN 'MAJESTY
by his Piedmontese Army ' - •
‘‘ SIRE—The army is 'loyal and faithful;• and
giVes a solemn pledge of it to their Sovereign.
Sire, it is reported that your presentMinisteri
are soliciting a succour of Austrian troops. The
Austrians were, are, and will be, not only the
natural enemies of the Piedthontese, but of all
the other people of Italy. The recollection of
1815 is not far off. Your soldiers know what is
meant by having Austrians in the country, al-
though as friends. They have always usurped
the honour of our exploits. The Austrians are
the execration of Italy. Your soldiers, Sire;
will not have them but as enemies. To ask their
assistance would bean insupportable insult to the
honour of your soldiers; who boast, that they are.
sufficient for the defence of the Throne, the
Country, and the Constitution.'
