THE QUEEN.

Counsel having been then called in, the Som--
CITOR-GENERAL resumed his Reply. He ob-
served,-that in pursuing the course he had taken
on Saturday, he did not intend to enter at
large, or at any length, into what took place at
Naples, yet there were some circumstances
so very striking, so' necessary to be touched,
and so important to the result of the case, that
he must entreat their Lordships' attention while
he proceeded to comment on them. The first
of these, then, was the singular walk taken by
her Royal Highness and Bergami on the terrace
and the conduct of Mr. Craven. That Gentle-
man, when asked respecting the walk, said he
did not observe them 'touch each other. 'This
,evidence was meant to induce their Lordships
to suppose that there was nothing remarkable
in the circumstance ; but if so, and if this
' were merely the attendance of a servant on his
Mistress, would Mr. Craven have thought it ne-
cessary to make the representation he did 'to her
Royal Highness on tho subject she had; in-
stead of 13ergand, been 'so attended in her walks
either by Sicard or. Hieronymus, could their
Lordships believe that Mr. Craven would have
ever felt it necessary to make any kind of remon-
strance to her ? Was it not something he had
either heard or seen, or else suspected, which

induced him to make that remonstrance ? It
was alleged, to be sure, that the terrace was
overlooked by the houses adjacent, and so it
might be, though nobody was looking from them.
Here, therefore, their Lordships would observe
that extraordinary mixture of caution and impru-
dence, of reserve and openness, which had often
been found the undeviating characteristics of
cases of this kind. Either it was what Mr.
Craven had seen or heard, or some impression
which he feared would be injurious to the charac-
ter of her Royal Highness, that induced him to
give her so friendly, but unavailing a caution. In
addition to Mr. C.s evidence her Majesty's
Counsel had called the Earl of Llandaff, who
stated that he recollected Bergami fiorn his fi-
gure, which was rather large, and also tall; his
Lordship also said that Bergami had been pointed
out to him. And why, he would ask, should
Bergami, of all others in her Royal,Highness's
suite, be pointed out to his Lordship, if that
menial .had riot in reality been the object
he was, namely, the subject of curiosity, inquiry,
and rumours ? Did not this speak for itself .? Was
any other servant in her Royal Highness's, train
so pointed out ? From what circumstance was
it? Why, unquestionably, from? the reports
which were circulated with respect to him,
from his walks on the teriace: It was from
minute circumstances like these, unimportant

as they were in themselves, that with a know-
ledge of the human mind, must be deduced
those circumstances which ,were more broad and
striking• lie would now advert to the testimony
of Lady C. Lindsay, for it was extraordinary
that the other side should have summoned this
Lady to the Bar, if they bad not supposed her
evidence would be beneficial to their case.. Now,
it appeared, that she had entered her R. H.'s ser-
vice only 12 days before she left Naples,and yet
many things of an extraordinary kind took place

• •
ithie that've-ry short p`erto time. If they
walled on the terrace or in the gardens, Btirgatni
most att;ind. them, and if they walked in the gar-
dens at 'Civita Vechia, he was there too ; if they
sat down to dinner, pergarni *as at the table.
If they rode out, he was in the advance as courier,
and-not only- so, but came up to the very car-
riage, took refreshment's, and drank out of
the very ,bottle which her Royal Highness did.
Mr. Bnot:GnAivt wished the evidence (page
520) as to this plain t, to be read.; which was
done.

The SOLICITOR-GETNERAL then observed; that
although this witness was not Certain as to the
drinking Ont of the bOttie at first; or whether
Berg,ami threw it away or returned it,-aftei drink,
in g,, yet on another question being 130, she depos=
ed that she rather thought that Bergami did re•
turn the hOttle toThe,earringe, and it was deposited
there. -Could their Lordships think -otherwise
when they 'cOnsidered 'that Lady C. Lindsay was

brought forward as a witness by .11,1 r. Brougham
to support character of the Queen ? If, then,
their Lc•rdshipS believed this, they were called
to infer a connection, to deSignate it the mild,-
est terms,. between the Queen and Bergami.
Lady C. Lindsay at length quitted her Royal
Highness's service, and she did not deny that it
was a relief to her mind to have • quitted it.
A.gain she was asked if she had ever
said that no woman having a regard to
Character could remain in that service long, and
her .answer was similar to the former. When*
asked if She quitted. on account of 'the reports
-which prevailed• at the time respecting the Prin-
cess and Bergami, she admitted, the faCt ; nor did
she deny that she might have said that she `would
• have quitted that service before; bad; it not been
for the distress of a
,relation, whom she wished to
assist by her savings. But she added that
she had said nothing . disrespectful to her
. Royal Highness. Then, after all, her Ladyship had
• deposed that it was possible she might have said so.
This, therefore, was the amount of her evidence
and she was the only Lady, by the bye, called
on the part of the Defence to speak to her
Royal Highness's character, and he was there-
fore content to leave It entirely to. their
Lordships to decide how far such testimony
was fitted to support the cause it. was in-
tended to serve. His Learned Friend, the
Attorney-General, had'Been charged...with having

in the cross-miinination of this witness, betrayed
private confidence in , putting questions to her.
Nothing could be more unfounded than this im-
putation. He knew not only the honour of his
Learned Friend, in conducting this trying case,
bat also-the delicacy he felt on that point, and

it.. was therefore not necessary to refute that
charge. Sir William Gell and Mr. Craven were
the next witnesses for the Queen, but
they were only the pageants of state, din-
ing with her Royal 'Highness when she had
company, as in general she , dined in pri-
vate. These witnesses then could not, speak
to her habits when retired from observing eyes ;
all the.elfect of their evidence was of little weight
to the case. The. same observation must apply
to the testimony of Lord Llandaff, and also of
Lord Glenbervie,the first being only an occasional
visitor, While the latter knew nothing of her
Royal Highness.' Dr. Holland's evidence merely
stated that he was a man of professional duties,
who had very little to do in that capacity,
and was so engrossed by his literary studies
that he had no leasure to remark on what
others were disposed to. Then, again, there
was Mr. Mills, who paid some • ceremonious
visits to her. Royal Highness ; he had seen her
three times at Rome, and once at the Villa
d'Este:.. This -Was all 'the evidence, as their
Lordships would find, which had been adduced
by her Majesty's Counsel to .disprove and dis-
credit the allegations that were recited in the
preatnbk of the Bill.—(Left speaking.)

Averse as We are to make any comxnents upon
that evidence which will be fully weighed and
thoroughly estimated by the august Tribunal
of the 'Legislature, we should hold ourselves in 7
excusable if we did not occasionally notice the
perverse and.malignant remarks of some of our
Competitors, and condemn the audacity with
-Vhich they oppor themselves to truth 'and de-
cency. We refer to The Morning Chronicle of
this day, With .peculiar indignation, and, indeed,
with some degree of horror, on its groii impiety,
in-saying of a pretended frustration of an imagi-
nary Conspiracy, that " it looks like•the in'erpo-
s
sitiou of a special Providence in 'favour of her
MAJESTY." This revolting observation is nearly
as. blasphemous- as any of, those parOdies which
properly drew down:the punishment of the Law
upon their impious Authors.—As we ,leave pon
to. beliefe that a great 'proportion of our Readers
are Members of the Church, we should feel much
reluctance to submit. such daring profanation to
their notice, if we did not hope that it will rouse
them into -a more zealous support" of those sacred
truths upon which depends our happiness here
and hereafter. and induce them vigorously to re-
pel all impious attempts to assert the interposition
of a special Providence on' occasions Nvitliin the
competence of human Justice. ,
