Intend: that the charge of Conspiracy should
have formed. an introduction to the Defence; for
the very. grounds- of ,that charge might after-
wards.- have come ;to .the knowledge the
Queen's Counsel, who were bound to avail-them-
selves of it. He would therefore make.anothor
appeal. •to -the candour and - honour of the
Attorney-General. If it was - meant to call
Tanga -to their Lordships' Bar, in the capa-
city of a conspirator against the Queen, or as one
of them who • conspired against her in any
lvay, he certainly could not be so called ; but
!let might be. .called to testify to the acts of
Colonel arown; by n hich means others might
be brought .up to depose to important facts.
Respecting' the opinion of the Learned Judges, as
dlslivered to the House, he could only say, and
e intended not the slightest disrespect to them,
that even on a Common Turnpike Bill he would
not be bound against his opinion by the counsel
of the :Judges. 'He wished their Lordships. to
re-consider- the first question, as the Learned
Coansel:must of teceSsity be conversant with the
• :tines. of Law.

, t. he. Earl of LAIMERDILE thought it was corn.
peter t for the Learned Counsel at the Bar to.
pnt the question as to a conspiracy ; but,
supposing it competent for them to put
that question, they were not at liberty to
adduce to their Lordships a wrong argument
irt.order to show why the question should be put.
if such arguments were to be. indulged in, and
the Attorney and Solicitor-General were after-
wards to reply to them, he could only say, that
theit Lordships had no prospect of coming to an
end. Nothing, to the best of his recollection,
had passed as between their Lordships, to pre-
he putting the question by the Queen's
Counsel. But it was inverting the order of
thing,s for their Lordships -to listen to an argu-
4vent first,' and afterwards to admit the question
built upon it.

.The .Martraess of IA ANSDOWN here desired that
the third question put yesterday to the Learned
-Judges, and the'answer to it, might be forthwith
read ; and they were accordingly read by the
Se;.ior• Clerk of the House.

The Earl of DAITNLEY then rose, and declared.
that he would not be doing his duty in that
place, if he did not embrace -the earliest oppor-
tunity of objecting to the doctrine laid down by
the Noble Earl opposite. That Noble Earl (Li-
verpool),•if he understood him, had laid it down
that their Lordships were not at liberty, in this
long and painful inquiry, which he trusted was
drawing to a close, to enter into any points, not
openedat first by the Counsel at the Bar. If this
doctrine were adhered to, in this .extraordinary
and most unprecedented case, he couteived it
impossible for their Lordships to go on
with any hope of -jpstice at last ; and if
reference were not made to • such evidence,
not opened in the Defence, as was material. to
prove -a Conspiracy against the Queen ; but it
was utterly impossible that such a doctrine could
be adopted by their Lordships. Seeing the in-
sufficiency of the-evidence as against the Queen,
seeing how it was broken and disjointed on the
part of the prosecution, and the suspicions which
were entertained of it, day after day, he had hoped
that their Lordships. would have been rescued,
..by
the firmness of the Noble Earl opposite, from the
disgraceful situation in which they were placed,
trusted that, even now, the day
.was not very
far distant when, if the Counsel for the Defence
were not permitte.d.to produce what they deem-
ed~ to be necessary to the justification .of •the
Queen., the proceedings would not
.be suffered to
go on.

- .The Loan CIiaNCLLLOR here remarked, that
nothing- was more necessary in this proceeding
than that their Lordships should preserve all
due respect for those Learned Judges, whose
advice they availed themselves of ; but , there
was nothing more desirable, at the same
time, than that he who wished respect from
others should also be entitled to it. He there-
pre had now to regret his having misunderstood
Mr.. Williams, one of the Learned Counsel at
the Bar, as to the question he had intended to
put. As their Lordships had determined .they
Would n9t go into the matter, he was formerly
of, opinion that no question ought to be
put to Zanga, as one of the Conspi-
rators ; but : the matter -had since -been dis-
cassed at their Lordships' Bar, and• the result
:was, they had determined that the question was
proper to be put. At the same time, however,
their Lordships would not allow of any kind of
o'entral open:ti, on. the part of the Learned
Counsel for the Queen, about the Conspiracy
Which they, alleged to have been formed against
her.

The Noble and Learned Lord, we have since
heard, was of opinion, that the question might
be put, on an understanding that the Learned
Counsel for her Majesty would not trespass by
their observations on the time of the House.

It was stated at the last. ConferenCe. of
the Methodists, that there was a falling off in
'their flock,- during the proceeding year of
nearly 6,000; which they, in a great measure
attributed to the late numerous blasphemous
publications. •It is remarkable, that previous to
last year, they had been annually on the increase
since the days of WESLEY.---.(Chester Chronicle.)

an Address to.his MAJESTY, requesting that he

a most shocking•.event took place in Sloane-street,
Chelsea. Major SE-Ymoua, a fine young man,
about twenty-five years of age, •who lived there
for some time past, had been lately seriously-
indisposed, 'which brought on a delirium. The
muse who attended him left the, room about
three o'clock yesterday morning, leaving a
knife upon the table; he seized the knife, cut
his throat in a most dreadful manner, and, after-
