purpose of proceeding, in the event of any mea-
sure corning from the other House ; at least a
fortnight ought to be given, to afford time for
the arrival of Members, as the fullest possible
attendance would be desirable.
Mr. TIERNEY said, he understood that on
September 18, they were only to meet to name
another day to assemble to proceed with any
matter that might be brought before them—
(Hear, bear !)
Lord F. OsnciaNE Said he should use every
possible effort to prevent the Bill from polluting
even the threshold of that House.--(Hear!)—
But should such a Bill be unhappily received,
no power on earth should induce him to attend
and witness such a mockery' of justice; rather
than attend he would vacate his seat. As a
Court of Judicature, that. House had" damned"
itself—he was forced, to use a strong expression
—by .passing. the Grenville Act; therefore he
said that the Bill, if entertained there, would be
" a mockery of justice." With, these impres-
sions on his mind, he moved, as an amendment,
thk an Address be presented to- the King to
prorogue the. Parliament till it should be deemed
expedient to re-assemble both Houses for the dis-
patch of public business. •
Mr..llonnouss seconded the amendment for
an Address. He would do any thing to-get rid
of the monstrous measure that was now degrad-
ing the House of Lords. He did so too :from
other motives—to escape from all that roilitary
array which hedged round the House, and which
appeared even in the neighbouring apartment.
Mr. TIERNEY did not see how they could very
well agree to this Address, since tbe measure
complained of was not before their. House.
Lord F. OSBORNE observed, that he did not
ish to , press his amendment to a division, as
some Hon. It rieinds seemed to be against it„; he
had proposed it on constitutional grounds.
Mr. WESTERN expressed that the Bill would
never find its way into that House.
Lord A. llAmix.'iosr declared, 'that he had the
most insuperable objections to the prosecution
Under 'any circumstances, especially when he re-
ccollected how the Queen had been pursued, not
for six years, but twenty-six years. He, there-
fore, thought it was impossible to do justice to
the Queen.
Lord CASTLEREAGH deprecated a' partial dis-
Cussion of this important question, and- a full
discussion of it was impossible, as the facts were
not before them. The House had before determin-
ed against being dragged into garbled discussion,
and nothing had since happened to warrant the
change of, that determination. As to the Ad-
dress, he thought it would be rather an
,unjust
exercise "of their privileges, to ask the Crown to
prorogue Parliament, when the other House had
commenced, and was engaged in' a judicial in-
quiry. The case had been opened, the facts
were dis Closed, and could even the friends of
the Queen desire the case to stop here I—Could
the friends of the Queen desire to quash, to put
an extinguisher on the proceedings as they now
stood 1. It would be to place her in the cruellest
poSsible situation. To agree to the Address
would not to promote justice, but to submit to
intimidation,—(Hear, hear!)
Lord A. ll.i.mivroN explained, that he had not
originated the present question.
Mr. WunEaroncE repeated his regret that the
wish of the House had not been successful with
the Queen, and still deplored that it was deemed
necessary to proceed. But should the measure
come to that House, he feared that its considera-
tion 11-Mild be interminable.—(Hear !)
Mr. BaounnAsi said, he would have remained
silent had he not feared that it might be miscon-
strued. Ile had' entreated the House to pause
before it was too late to stop ; by Mr. Wilber-
force3s motion, that " pause" had been after-
wards gained ; but now it was too late to think
of paasing. The period had gone by. The case
had been opened, and with a degree of particu-
larity most conspicuous ; and that witness had
been examined who was to prove almost the
whole of their case. He had not been cross-exa-
mined, Besides, all these matters had been pub-
lished to the world. To stop the proceedings,
therefore, now would be a .crying injustice to-
wards her Majesty, and he hoped that the House
would not entertain the Address.

'rhe amendment was negatived without a di-
vision,. the main question carried, and the House
adjourned to September 18.

CASE TN POINT.—An eminent Barrister had
some years
,ago a case sent to him for an opinion.
The case stated was the most preposterous and
improbable that ever occurred to the mind of
man, and concluded by asking whether, under
such circumstances, an action would lie ? He
took his pen and wrote " Yes, if the WITNESSES
will LIE 100, but not otherwise."

The indiposition of Mr. BROUGHAM, which
occasioned his absence from the late political
dihner at Gateshead, defeated one, of _the prin-
cipal objects of that meeting. Mr. BEAumoNT,
who.presided at the PITT Dinner at Newcastle
last year, and who then lauded the principles,of
the deceased Statesman, now filled the Whig
chair, and spoke on the opposite side. Mr.
Lambton gave some further proofs of the.sin-
cerity of his declared intention to bury in obli
viol" all animosity arising out of the late election,
by again reviling the clergy ; and after hinting -
that he had not forgotten his late defeat at the
Sunderland News Room, he launched out into a
violent tirade against Ministers. Mr. Witimmits,
the Barrister, followed in the same strain, and
thus " the Whigs, who have no power," enter-
tained themselves by abusing those who • have
power!---(Durhain Advertizer.)
The rapid sale of the present Lottery, and the
great favour which the Public extend towards it, maybe at-
tributed in a great degree to the abolition of C!asses in the
Scheme. In former Lotteries one member deCided the fate of
another : this was objected to by many persons who wished
to adventure on their own individual luck, which was impos-
sible upon that plan, unless they bought Two Tickets instead
Of One. But in this bates y each Number has its own sepa-
rate chance, distinct from every other. There ate Two of
20,0001. and 28 other Capitals, Stirling Money, all to be
Drawn on the 33th of August. As 'l'. DISH, the Contractor,
Makes no reserve of Tickets, every Prize may be divided
among the Public.
