consols,' reasoning enables us to jadge,it is a mere piece of
opposition. or attempt to a-hew that every step taken onhor
trial is wrong. It has been ungallantly said, that the

truth in this, 'her Majesty might claim a place at the head
of the sex. When the Legislature ptfrpose to proceed, she
insists on its stopping; when it wants to panse, sire demands
hat it should hurry on ; Nvlien she can get nolerms, she
determines to have some; and when more Than she asks 'is
-proffered in the most valuable manner, she rejects the pro-
posal. At this rate, were the-gates of Carlton Palace thrown
-open to her, she would immediately post off to Comb in Italy.
The result however, was, that their Lordships 'hold on their
steady even cdiuse. On Monday, as originally proposed, the
day for the secuna reading of the Bill will be appointed—the
numbers on a division 'for doing.this4o-day being only nine-
en to fifty-six. We observed in our Paper of yesterday,
that nothing hot unworthy attempts at popular delusion
'should provoke us to enter upon any of the details of this
instefol subject. Unhappily, abundant provocation has al-
'ready been (+fiend ; and we therefore 'cannot help rio-
'tieing Rome of the delusions which even this -short interval
has produced. In the first place, the most erroneous state-
'thews have been put forth with resprct to the manner in
•Nv lac h BergarOi obtained Isis titles, it being insinuateil that he
procured them through the favour of the Sovereigns of the
Continent. The facts were simply These :—By certain means,
ti hids it is here nnuecessat y to state, that man, who -was
so rapidly advanced from a most menial capacity to the highest
office in her Majesty's household (having in the progress of
Isis promotion been in the habit, first of %lauding behind her
chair during dinner., and subsequently of sitting at the same
table with her, to the itifinite astonishment of two co tain Eng-
lish Ladies, who never after repeated their visits)--4 hat -man,
Ave say, had by certain means surreptitiously obtained the title

Cr:aid. On due and pointed remonstrance beilig made to her

:11.-ijusty by the Emperor of Anstria upon this subject, the
title of Count was dropped, and that of Knight of the Order
of, St. John of Jertisalcut substituted. This, however, gave,
if possihle, still greater offence to the high-minded 'Knights
1.4 that honourable Order, than even the former mnwarranta-
hie assumption; in consequence of which, her Majesty
caused that also to be discontinued. It is wen known that
in Italy certain titles and orders are easily to be purchased ;
and thus circumstanced, the facilities for that purpose were
not oniy embraced, but her Majesty (having .lecen in aern-
salt-m.:, iashituted an order of her own, called it tht Order
wf Car&linc of dirdesaient, and named Bergami the first
Knight of it. It is with thm utmost reluctance we arc in-
duced to re-state the--,e circumstances ; but the attempts now
-daily making to delude the ignorant and unwary, render it
imperiously iircumbent upon us to gored the Public against
- deception, however painful the tr-k of -dwelling at all upon
as disgusting a subject. Another expedirnt, to which the
pretended friends of the unfortunate Queen have bet n led to
term t, is the circulation of a story respecting Bergami,
which, they say, will turn the principal criminal charge
agaiost her Majesty into a subject for laughter. It has es-en
been stated, that her Majesty's Counsel menu to matte it the
suain ground of her defence against the most serious allega-
Gni. Such we conceive it would be impossible to urge in her
favour ; and to which neither Mr. Brougham nor Mr. Den-

loan even distantly alluded in their ingenious_plvadings laa
night in the House of Lords.

Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, Sir Thomas Tyrwhilt waited
upon the Queen, with a copy of the Bill of Degradation and
Divorce, introduced by the Earl of Liverpool in the House
of Lords on IVcdnesday. Her Majesty received the inteßi-
gence of the proceedings instituted against her in the Lords,
with that tranquil composure which nothing but the conscious-
iwss of innocence can impart. To the confidential friends
who were present, she entered into sonic explanations most
satisfactory and convincing.
