[New, Times.]

The Bill of Pains and Penalties was carried
yesterday to a Third Reading by a majority of
108 to 99, thus marking once more, by a solemn
vote .of the Legislature, the guilt of the Queen.
The Earl of Liverpool, however, considered it
his duty not to press the measure further, and
therefore voluntarily withdrew the Bill, when
there was nothinc, wanting but the mere formality
of passing it. Upon the expediency of adopting
this course of conduct we wish to offer no opinion.
We have been informed, on authority which we
cannot doubt,.that a Protest is in agitation against
the abandonment of the Bill after the charges
had been clearly proved. Such Protest, if agreed
upon, must be signed before taco o'clock this day.
Of course the Radicals took this event as a
triumph. They immediately issued placards in-
scribed" Glorious News?"" The Bill throzon out,"
&c. &c. and at night they forced the peaceable
citizens to illuminate ! To illuminate because the
Queen of England, after an elaborate defence,
was twice branded as an adultress by two solemn
votes of the Peerage ! " Glorious news" this, to
all that feel a personal respect for her Majesty, a
jealous regard for female honour, and a pride in
the moral greatness of our Country ! The fair-
ness too of the statement, that the Bill was thrown
out, is of a piece with every thing that proceeds
from-the same Radical quarter. The Bill was
in fact carried by a decided majority, and with-
drawn by the Minister himself,on grounds totally
foreign from any idea of her Majesty's innocence.
The speech of the Bishop of Chester particularly
deserves notice. That Right Rev. Prelate said
" he had voted for the 2d reading of the Bill, be-
cause in his conscience he believed the Queen
Guilty ; „he had opposed the Divorce Clause, be-
cause he thought it in opposition to that sacred
ministry, of which he was an imperfect servant;
but now that the Divorce Clause was retained, as
he could not consistently vote for the Third Read-
ing, he should withdraw without voting at all."
Their Lordships adjourned to the 23d of this
month, when the House of Commons is also to
meet. We confess, we are exceedingly astonished
that Lord Ellenborough suffered them to sepa-
rate without some notice of his promised motion
for an Address to his Majesty, stigniatising the
conduct of the Queen. After the very strong and
emphatic language of the Noble Lord (certainly
not too strong or emphatic) in reprobation of her
Majesty's conduct, we own we did under-
stand that he was personally pledged to move a
Censure of the heaviest kind against her whom
he had so vehemently condemned. We should be
unwilling to believe that any Noble Lord could
be intimidated from the discharge of his duty
but certain it is, that the seditious Press has,
throughout this unhappy business, maintained a
most menacing and insolent tone towards their
Lordships ; certain it is that most of the Peers
have thought fit to overlook these daring and un-
precended insults; and certain it is that the views
of policy and expediency avowed by some Noble
Lords, lead to exactly those results which the
seditious Press has dictated.

[Morning Chronicle.]

We have at last the satisfaction of congratu-
lilting the. Country on the Abandonment of the
Pains and Penalties Bill. The division on the
third reading having given a majority of only
nine in favour of Ministers, that is, a majority
formed altogether of themselves, Lord Liverpool
could not, with any regard to decency, attempt
the passing of the measure. Such is the termi-
nation of the odious proceedings which for many
months have kept the country in a state of con-
tinual irritation, which have done more to with-
draw the affections of the people from the Con-
stitutional Authorities than all the Revolutionary
writings which ever were composed, and which
have truly been derogatory from the dignity of the
Crown and the best interests of the Empire. The
joy with which this result was received is indescrib-
able. The news flew with the rapidity of light-
ning to the remotest quarters of the metropolis.
The exultation was universal. A town relieved
from a twelve months' siege could not have dis-.
played more tumultuous gladness; the streets
were soon thronged, and in the evening the illu-
mination was general in all the principal streets.
Reports of jeux de joie were heard in every di-
rection. Such is the manner in which the failure of
the attempts to destroy her Majesty has been re-
ceived in London. As there has been but one
feeling throughout the country with respect to
the proceedings, the joy of the metropolis will
of course be universal. The national character
never appeared to more advantage than during
the whole of these proceedings. The people
saw the Queen wag on the point of becoming
the victim of a powerful conspiracy, and with
that•love of justice which they have always pos-
sessed, they expressed their indignation at the
base attempt in so loud and unequivocal a man-
ner, as to palsy the hand which was stretched out
to destroy her. Every violation of justice leads
'to still more extensive violations. The injustice
from which she was about to suffer, would have
afforded a precedent for the destruction of others ;
and the interest taken by the people is, there-
fore, not more honourable to the generosity and
good feeling, than it is creditable to the good
sense of the people. The triumph of her Majes-
ty is also, therefore, their triumph ; for the suc-
cessful resistance of oppression,the defeat of in jus-

tice are causes for triumph truly worthy of a free
and enlightened people.

[Morning Post.]
The vulgar shout now is—" The Queen's
triumph is complete." But where, i• -e would ask,
are the Garlands ? Winter has withered them
all ! Or may it be that the third reading of the
Adultery Conviction Bill has blasted them ? Be
this as it may, there is a partial triumph of fac-
tion. The shouts and threats of Sedition and
Party have been so 'far successful that they ex-
cited that panic whickhas caused- a short-sighted
temporising policy to shake the decisions of Jus-
tice. The crime has been declared—the legal
punishment has not been inflicted. Nothing,
however, could have added to the Queen's degra-
dation—there is no depth lower than that to
which she has been hurled ; and if there be any
new disgrace, it is not her's, but that of the
Throne in which she is associated, and of the
People, to whom, if no remedy be applied, she
will be held up as a pattern. We are disgusted
with the view, and a moral country, we are per-
suaded, will not endure the hideous prospect.—
A new Bill, we repeat, must be introduced, to
limit those prerogatives, and effect that formal
removal from her rank, which the unequivocal
verdict of Guilty has rendered absolutely neces-
sary. The House of Lords has adjourned to
the 23d inst., and it is supposed Parliament
will be prorogued to the usual time of meet-
ing. Notwithstanding. the circumstances un-:
der which the Bill was lost (the third
reading having been carried, and its final
.passing been prevented not by its oppo-
nents but by Ministers) the factious did not
fail to avail themselves of the event. Expresses
were immediately sent off to all parts of the town
and country, guns and pistols commenced firing in
various directions; and as night approached, mobs
were collected in different parts of the metropolis,
who ran furiously about, demanding of the peace-
able inhabitants to light up their houses. Fear of
the consequences of a refusal induced a pretty ge-
neral compliance with the mandate of the mob,both
eastward and westward, and such as refused had
their windows unsparingly demolished. Poor misled
people. As far as regards ourselves, we have no
feeling of resentment towards them. They know
not what they do, and therefore excite on our
part feelings only of the sincerest pity. The out-
rages of the deluded multitude having increased
as they advanced in the Strand, it was found ne-
cessary, about ten o'clock, to call out the Life
Guards, and we understand the Riot Act was
read. The Horse Patrole were also ordered
upon town duty, and these, with the several squa-
drons of cavalry, continued to parade the streets
from Temple-bar to the western extremity of the
Metropolis, till a late hour this morning. This
necessary and laudable expedient, we have no
doubt, will be repeated every evening until the
present temporary delusion shall have passed
away, reason resumed her sway, and order and
tranquillity be restored to the capital.

MOST EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE.---Last
night between half-past ten and eleven o'clock,
the following strange occurrence took place at
Charing Cross :—A large crowd had assembled
who were discharging fire-works and applaud ng
such individuals as had lights exhibited in their
windows in honour of the Queen. The house of
one person (an army clothier) became a particu-
lar object with the mob, who were a considerable
time calling upon the owner to light up, but
finding their cries disregarded, they commenced
an attack upon the wineows, many of which they
demolished. Whilst the crowd were thus em-
ployed, a man of good appearance rushed
amongst them with a dagger, about 14 inches
long, in his right hand, with which he began in-
discriminately to stab all about him, and wound-
ed several persons very severely. A man re-
ceived a thrust through the palm of his hand,a boy
was stabbed in the cheek, and a great many
others had their clothes rent by stabs aimed at
their bodies. The panic which the conduct of
this violent person struck into the mob, caused
them to disperse in all directions, and no one
seemed inclined to oppose his murderous ca-
reer. At length a young man made a rash at
him, and grappled with him a while, but was,
by the superior strength of his opponent, at
length compelled to desist, and look to his
personal safety. However, his conduct had the
effect of rousing others from their lethargy; and
some one shouted " Fall on the villain altoge-
ther." The person who held the dagger seemed
alarmed for his safety ; and as the relief guard
was just then passing, he rushed in amongst them,
and said something-which was not audible, but
was thought to be an appeal for protection, but
the soldiers passed on without regarding him,
and at that moment a youth, who was in his
shirt-sleeves, tripped up his heels, and imme-
diately threw himself over him, and wrested the
murderous weapon from his grasp, and imme-
diately placed it in his bosom, between his waist-
coat and shirt. There was such a violent rush at
the moment, and such an anxiety manifested to
behold the dagger, that the person who had
been the cause.of so cinch mischief and distur-
bance, slipped off undetected.. The person who
took the weapon persisted in keeping it, and
finally took it home with him : it was a midship-
man's dirk, and was in good repair. The attack
on the house of the gentleman before alluded to
then increased and continued with unabated ar-
dour, till a detachment of the Life Guards and
a division of the Westminster mounted Police
came up.

. The Law Officers of the Queen, we understand, are prepar-
ing to indict Cuchi, one of the witnesses who gave evidence
against her Majesty, for perjury.
Robert Coiling, Esq.'s late sale of stock, at Bantpton, near
Darlington, produced very high prices. A live years old bull
sold for 350 guineas ; another, three years old, 130 guineas.
Three bull calves fetched 100 guineas; the cows upon an
average, 32 guineas each; and eight agricultural horses 563
guineas.
The elegant new Wilts county bridge over the Avon. at
Downton in that county, is completed, and was openedon Fri-
day last for carriages of all descriptions.
A single grain of Talavera wheat, planted by Mr. Gardner,
of Weston, near Bath, in his garden, has, this autumn, pro-
duced the extraordinary number of 7,445 grains, and the root
still continues in a healthy state.
