MAJORITY AND MINORITY.

An error having.appeared in one of our News-
papers, respecting the Majority in the House of
Lords on a. late lamentable occasion, it is proper
that the Public should be undeceived, and no
channel is better calculated for that purpose than
Tut: Sus.

The QUEEN was. not trial before a tribunal
of Lords. Her conduct Was only on inquiry to
satisfy the preamble of a proposed Act of Legis-
lation; on which a majority of twelve Peers was
not requisite, as in the case of an' Impeachment
for a High Misdemeanor, or an Indictment of a
Nobleman fora Capital Offence.

MATCH FOR • 100 &IYINEAS.—An herculean
pedestrian task for the above snm was attempted
on, Thursday, at Easton, in Hampshire, by Raw-
linson, a Devonshire man, and a relation of the
celebrated Old Torn, the runner. It was to run
twelve times round a circle of one mile, in Mr.
Paget's grounds (he having made the match), in
one hour and twelve minutes, which is equal to
any thing on record. He did the first three miles
in sixteen minutes and a half, and half the dis-
tance in 35 minutes, well on his speed. Ile did
the next three miles in a few seconds over 18 mi-
nutes, and won by extraordinary game; having a
'quarter of a minute to *spare.

tisfactery to ail• the wise and virtiidds part ot the
Nation. The Morning Chronicle of this day,
'Which.cOntains theSe Protests, mot being able to
°ffer any sound argument against their intrinsic
merits, contents itself with sneering at " the gram-
mar and composition of Aliese DoCumentS," and'
with insinuations that two or three of the Noble
Subscribers acted from interested motives. Such
insinuations are too base and common to make
any impression on liberal Kninds. The truth is,
that the CHARACTER, the HONOUR of the Courf-
Tay, demanded a different issue. We have no
doubt that the Earl of LIVERPOOL acted
from the purest motives, in wishing, if pos-
..,
'aole, to put a stop to popular clamour, to
the conflicts of Party, and to political divisions
IU private life. But the' mere ground of expe-
' diency is unworthy of a Great Nation, and it is
• assuredly not fit that CONVICTED GUILT should
enjoy the triumph of ESTABLISHED INNOCENCE !
14're have received commendations from several
quarters on the guarded manner in which we con-
' ducted ourselves through the whole of the Trial,
that We might not bias our Readers either way,.
but. leave them to form their own judgment upon
the evidence on both sides ; and one of our
Currespondents, to whom we have been in-
debted for 'many valuable favours, congra-
tulates us " on "the admirable way in which
have piloted THE SUN through the narrows
between King Rock and Queen Sands." Such for-
bearauCethowever was no more than a conformity
to discretion, candour, and obvious duty; but it is
kto* time to speak out, and on the decision of a
, 4rge, majority of one 'of the branches of the Le-
gislature, constituting the pureSt tribunal of Na-
tional Justice, we feel fully justified in adding
°Ur humble concurrence to that decision, viz.
l:hat the Charges against TILE QUEEN were
fully supported by the evidence in general,
acid even by the very witnesses brought for-
'Ward by her own Defenders. It now remains
to be determined, under such circumstances, what
shall be done respecting her Claims to a Royal
tesidence, and to all the, honours and privileges,
to Which she would undoubtedly have a just
right, if her character and conduct had been ef-
fectually vindicated to the satisfaction of man-
kihd• On this head, we shall resume our cauti-
forbearance, leaving the matter to. the decision
°f Parliament, which must, of course, be consult-
ed 'on the occasion, just observing, that it becomes
the Government no longer to act on motives of
temPorary policy, but to reflect on the dignity
THE CROWN, and the situation of his MA-
-4411r in relation to his Consort, and finally to
adopt such measures as must be demanded by
the honou"r ot the
_Country, and the expectations

A letter from BostOn, of the 13th of October,
:'ates tiS follows :—Letters have been' received
'ere from France and Spain, giving every assur-
411Ce that the Florida ipiestion, as well as, our
,i.e?lnraercial difficulties with France, will be set-
tl j
ted on terms of equity and u3tiCe. We certainly
ti'euld be glad to see' these promises realized. On
the night of the 19th of August, a shock of an
earthquake was felt at llonduras and at Omoa. On
the Spanish Main the shock *as more severely
felt
; at St. Padro the church and several, d wel-
!ug. houses were thrown down, and-several lives
-were lost. The earth opened in several places,
41.1 d some, hills were thrown into_ the 'river.

It is urged in defence of the abrupt conclusion
of the proCoedings.against THE QUEEN, that if
tle Bill had come before the House of Commons
discussions,
efforts of Party might have prolonged th e
tliscassions, and kept the Country in commotion
for upwards of two years.
Yesterday morning the Earl of LIVERPOOL
tame to town, from his seat at Combe Wood, and
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER came to
town, from Blackheath, to attend a Cabinet
summoned to meet at two &clock, atthe
