The day has at length been appointed by the
House of Lords for the commencement of the
Queen's trial—for the. commencement of that great
and solemn proceeding to which even foreign na-
tions look with deep interest or vulgar curiosity,
but which excites in this country an awful and im-
pressive sensation of mingled astonishment and
apprehension. The day appointed is Thursday,
the 17th of August, on which day Lord Liver-
pool intimated his intention of moving the second
reading of the Bill for degrading the Queen, and
for dissolving the marriage subsisting between
her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort.

The disgraceful outrage at-Dover was men-
tioned last night, with proper reprobation, in the
House of Commons. We presume it will be
more seriously noticed in the House of Lords.
In 1765 Sir John Fielding and other Magistrates
were reprimanded by the House of Lords, for not
doing -their duty in suppressing riots, which im-
peded the business of Parliament ; and a resolution
of both Houses was then entered into against en-
couraging mobs, in order to hinder any matter
depending. If ever there can be a contempt
rpinst either House of • Parliament, calling for
its instant and severe anhnadversiog, it is the
insulting and maltreating of witnesses who are to

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Saturday last. The Chamber of Deputies were
again occupied on Friday with the Ways and
Means ; the discussion of which was further ad-
journed till Saturday. The following are ex-
tracts

" PARIS, JULY 8.---Thursday evening at ten
o'clock the Duke Decazes had an audience of
the King. His Majesty transacted business in
the course of the day with the Duke de Riche-
lieu, and the Count de Pradel, Director of the
Ministry of the King's Household.
" Disturbances which had no political motive,
and which only arose from the weakness of the
Company, having taken place for two days at the
Rouen Theatre, and assumed a grave character,
which rendered necessary the intervention of au-
thority, the Theatre has been closed until further
orders, by an arrete of the Mayor.

Of the 22d March, i

Never, we may confidently say, since the in-
stitution of Courts of Justice, has there been a
tribunal better qualified to administer Justice
than that to which the case of her MAJESTY
will hereafter be submitted. We are not, as our
conduct has often, indeed, we may say, has alto-
gether, demonstrated, the passiie instruments of
Ministers, though we are firmly attached to a
Government which, acting upon the system of
Mr. PITT, has preserved this Country, and rescued
Europe. As a proof of our independence, we
from the first expressed_ our decided disapproba-
tion of the course of conduct from which Minis-

ters were diverted, after the QUEEN had de-
manded an open and immediate trial. We admit,
however, that they might appear to have been too
rigorous, if they had not listened to pacific propo-
sals, but we constantly maintained that no com-
promise could be admitted after so open, so formal,
and so solemn a demand on the part of the QUEEN,
without disgrace to all parties, a sacrifice of
justice, and an insultirig indifference to public
opinion. She will now have a: fair, full, and
upright Trial, by pure, unblemished, anti im-
partial Judges, and happy shall. we be if her
innocence shall be so satisfactorily Manifested to
all mankind as to justify her investment with
all the honours and privileges that belong to
her elevated station, and to afford all the atone-
ment which a just and generous People can offer
to injured and suffering virtue.

The affair of the.NEW BARRACKS which are to
be built in the Regent's Park does not appear to
be understood. The contract is, that on condi-
tion of the persons contracting to build them, they
shall receive 85100 annually, the present rent
paid for the king-street Barracks for 31 years,
at the end of which period they will become the
property of the Public. Now, as the price for
building such Barracks is estimated at 70,0001.,

we should consider the interest of that money,
and calculate the loss the Public would suffer for
that number of years '
Thus, say 5 per cent. for 7u,000, would be
And 1 per cent. Sinking Fund, to pay off the 4oan of

such sum 7OO
And dividing the sum of 70,0001: in 31 years, amounts
to, per annum . 2,250

Loss to tho Public, if Government were to build the
Barracks
£6;450
The sum they are now to pay is . 5,400

Therefore they gain the difference . 1,060

As a great proportion of our Readers are interested in the
prosperity of our Commerce, we have deemed it our duty to
insert at length the First Report of the Select Committee of
the House of Lords (See our First Page), appointed to in-
quire into the means of extending and improving the Foreign
Trade of the Country. It is a very important Document,
and will ha read with great attention- in the Commercial
World. We cannot doubt that the Committee endeavoured
to procure the best evidence on the subject, but it is of a.very
important nature in a political as well as mercantile point of
view, and the chief attention ought certainly to be directed
towards what, in relation to our Colonies, must bt
deemed vital interests of the Empire. It is allowed
that a great and productive increase of the trade with
Canada, and of the tonnage: employed to import its Wood
into this Country has taken place. This increase ought to
be cultivated rather than hazarded by a removal of re-
strictions on Foreign Imports. It is admitted also, that any
material diminution of the Duties on Foreign Timber would
of course diminish the demand for Canada Timber, and af-
fect the profits of the Capital now vested in Saw-Mills and
other Machinery in Canada. Discontents would of course
naturally arise in that quartet, the prosperity of which, we
ought as much as possible to promote, consistently with the
general interests of the Empire. The Committee say, they
do not think the facility of procuring the best and cheapest
commodities from other Countries would be ultimately 'de-
trimental to the interests of our Navigation and Shipping;
but this is matter of opinion and speculation, and sound prac-
tical men think otherwise. The committee indulge a confident
hope, that the consideration of the state of other branches of
Trade in which they are about to engage will suggest the means
of giving additional employment to the Shipping of this Coun-
try. This also is matter of opinion, unless it is meant to open a
Trade with the revolted Colonies in Spain. But let us nut
forget the wise fable of the Dog and the Shadow, nor part
with solid possessions for speculative and uncertain advan-
tages.' But, we shall content ourselves pith referring to the
Report itself at present, and we again assure our Commercial
Readers, that our columns shall be open to their communica-
tions on a subject so vitally connected with our Colonial
prosperity, our Navigation Laws, oar Shipping Interests, our
Naval Ascendancy,. our Domestic Relations, and whatever in-
deed may affect our Political as well as Commercial character.

It should seem by the following letter from
Harwich, as if some of the Italians, who lately
came to this country, have already departed
HARWICH, JULY 9.---Considering it may
be of some interest to know what has become of
the persons who landed at Dover, said to be
witnesses against the QUEEN, I write you to
say the following embarked here yesterday -on
board the Earl of Leicester packet, for Roland :
---Casena, Martinella, Antonia Taliabo, Galdina,
all inhabitants of Como; and Cartz, whose suite
the other four are said to be of. Theirappearance
is very wretched. This day eleven more of
them, among whom was a woman, arrived from
London, and embarked for Holland on board
the Prince of Orange, Captain T. 13ainGt."
The advices from. Dover yesterday state, that
the Mayor, &c. are very active and vigilant to
anprehend and bring to justice the most active
of those persons concerned in their late brutal
conduct to the poor Italians.

ADDRESS OF THE CATIIOLICS OF IRELAND.—
Yesterday, at one o'clock, Lord KENMARE wait-
ed, by appointment, at Whitehall upon his Ma-
jesty's Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment, accompanied by Mr. Devereux, one of the
Gentlemen of the Deputation. Lord Sidmouth
named to-morrow se'nnight as the day on which
his Majesty would receive the Deputation ; at
the same time intimating the gracious pleasure of
the King, that if that day was considered to be
too distant for the convenience of his Lordship
and of the'Deputation, who had come so far for
the purpose of presenting an Address, an ar-
rangement would be made to receive the Deputa-
tion at a Council. Lord Kenmore expressing the
most grateful feeling of the Catholics of Ireland
for this marked condescension on the part of the
King, said that they would, have the honour of
presenting their Address upon the day already
named by his Majesty.

A considerable sensation has been excited at
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, by the conduct of its Re-
presentatives on the subject of the TIMBER Du-
TIES. It is understood that -the Corporation of
the Trinity House of that Pori applied to them
on the' subject, and the last letters from New-
castle state, that it was generally reported that
the application had not been noticed. We mention
the rumour as it reached us, but we cannot sup-
pose that there is any foundation for it, as the
influence of this highly respectable Corporation,
and the urbanity of the Ilonourable Members
render it very improbable.
We learn by late advices from- Buenos Ayres,
that the partisans of ALAVA had committed great
excesses, robbing and murdering numerous indi-
viduals. An Edict of the Supreme Diiector,
SARATEA, had been issued on this subject.
The Duke of YORK transacted military busi-
ness with the KING yesterday.
The QUEEN rode through Hyde Park on Sun-
day, when it was most thronged, and proceeded
to Barnes, in Surrey, where she has taken a villa
for the summer.

Yesterday afternoon his Royal Highness Prince
LEopor.n arrived at Marlborough-house from
Claremont.

Lord CASTLEREAGH returned to town yester-
day afternoon from his seat, North Cray.
