R. TLIE SUS.

MR, EDITOR—.AS the name of MARIETTI, of
Milan, has occurred frequently of late in the
proceedings in -the - House of Lordse I wish td
know, and perhaps Mr. 811 0 UGIIAM IS' best qualis.
Pied to afford-the-information, whether the Gen-
tlemen in question are the Bankers at Milan who,
several yeaii since, instituted proceedings in this
Country. against her M AJESIPY then Princess of
WALES, against Mr. BnOUGOAM, and others ?
The case, ass stated against the Princess of
WALES, would, amongst vulgar individuals, have
eSmounted: "to a punishable -offence, though, pro-
bably, whew applicable to the • above popular
Personage, is to be called by the tender name of
a simple contrattslebts However that may be,
I ,apprehend that MeSsrs. or Seigniors MARIETTI
have succeeded in obtaining their demand by a
'quicker process
.than that of a Court of Justice,
and the services which these Bankers are so
ready' to acknowledge as afforded by Mr.
IsstoliGllAM, are probably ,his recommendation
and influence, as to the propriety of stopping,
Without further delay,.an. inquiry which, amongst
individuals of common honesty, was not calcu-
lated to exalt the character of the distinguished
Personage in question: If such be the facts of
the transaction, the MARI ETTIS, at least, have'
been
.gainers by the pending:.investigation, and
their assistance in regulating the witnesses for
the Bill has thus been judiciously purchased.
Hence; however, arises another subject of in-
quiry, namely, whether the several thousands
claimed, if I am rightly informed, by these per-
sons, have been paid out of the sums demanded
by her MAJESTY'S Legal Advisers for.the defence
of her injured honour ? To this question also.
Mr. BROUGHAM can best give an answer; and,.
if it should be in the affirmative, it will require:
more ingenuity than this Learned Gentleman:
possesses to satisfy the public that sums so ap-
plied can come within the rule stated by her
MAJESTY'S Advocates. 'We do not state these
circumstances as facts, but as circumstances
worthy inquiry ; and. we trust that his Msuisty.'s
Ministers will see .the propriety of ascertaining
exactly in, what manner funds so liberally ad-
vanced have been or shall be expended. We
trust that Missrs. BROUGHAM and DENMAN will be
called on- • i pledge their professional character
that. these .sums have been or shall be no other-
wise employed than in her MAJ ESTYN strictly
legal defence ; that they shall not be-wasted on
the COBBETTS,' the BEssnows,•and the Woot.eas,
whose dirty fingers are constantly-dipping in ink
to the very knuckles to outrage all decency and
common sense; that they are not expended in
paying for the - two hundred copies per diell2
which we are told .her MAJ ESTY takes of the
wretched Times ' that they are not at the
cm-in-nand of a Druggist's Porter or a 'Porter
Druggist, of a *Commission: Shawl-Broker; or
a Jacobin Schoolmaster, or of a + Pedlar, traffic-
ina- for 'preferment, and, acting his dirty part
under a.Grecian mask.' These inquiries must be
saasfactOrily answered, to'cenvince 'a loyal and
thinking People 'that money, so plentifully fur-
nished is honestly appropriated; and spite of the
frantic ravings 'of the drunliens Editor of a cer-
tain time-serving Journal, the great mass of the
respectable England is still loyal, and
still
sufficientlyioepe o
relflecfting, to think that in a case
where the-lowest of -menial .servants is said to be
exalted 'from his grdvellit* duties to the table,
the, companiens,hip,,end the :arms of his mistress,
there ought to be-a 'full and sao.sfactory investi-
gation` of .dll the .'circumstances so new to our
'h.abiti and so'diiguStitig to our feeling-Fs

ATTEMPTED Sutcror.—Yesterday a dreadful
attempt at suicide was 'witnessed in the London-
road, Surrey. A middle-aged man, who, by the
singularity of his conduct, bad excited the no-
tice of the passengers, watched an opportunity
to throw himself before the wheels of a heavy
coal waggon, on the side that the driver coula'
not see him ; he must have been crushed ta
pieces, .but for the itittepidity: of a gentleman
who was coming in the opposite direction, and
who fortunately succeeded in stopping the horses,
just as the forewheel bad touched his cheek.
which it slightly grazed. The unfortunate man
had that mbining escaped from a lunatic asylum.
