THE QUEEN.

FROM THE TIMES OF THIS MORNING,

" Welielleve we may already congratulate the Nation on the
expornire of the consriracy against the QUEEN by the mere cross-
esaminction of the first witness produced agrinst her MAIIISTr.
This creature, wlso affected in his first examination to detail a
series of events and circumstances of a criminatory nature which
had taken plice in the course of three years, could, when put
aeon his cross-examination, absolutely remember nothing, or
almost nothing, by which his own assertions were exposed. Me
could recollect the QUEEN going into BERGAM'S room during an
illness; but could not recollect her condescending and humane
attendance upon others of her holisehold, when also labouring
under sickness!—lf the man were to be believed, he has had a
partial existence during three yea, a of his life. lie has lived
butler a capacity of observing and retaining everything that
could by any possibility threw a suspicion upon the Quxea of
Eitown; and has been wholly unendowed with the power of
recollecting anything else, either about her or himself, during
that period ! We solicit universal attention to the cress-exami-
nation of this foreigner, and to the questions to which he answers
Non 'al rti--questions to which it is impossible he should
have giv-.,1 ;hat answer truly, if he had been in existence at the
time and p:ace. One most striking self-conviction was wrung
from his ionvillitig mount: he had sworn, that at Naples, A. D.
1814, the-Cr E.::N could have no access to BERGA)II% bedchamber
but in pac3ing a closet in which he (Signor Non Ificordo) re-
posed ; but, in his c:nr,exarnination, he allowed there was ano-
t'n•r passage by which her Manny might have reached the
object of her regnrd, except that she might wish to take a peep
at this sleeping Enipnim in her way.
" Luc the statements of Mr. ATTORNET-GENEEAr., with rn-
spect to the indecent dance imputed to the orientalist, Atomise,
are at once refuted by the witness, even in his first examination.
I knee, therefore, appears the iniquity of these-ern bag system, and
the total injustice of the present mode of triaL Upon what autho_
rity did the Somme-Gl:sta.-a found his questions? No doubt,
upon that of the witness's previous depositions. The witness
must, therefore, have contradicted upon oath, in the House of
Lords, that which he had before deposed upon oath to the Milan
Commission: but the depositions taken by these latter having
baen consigned to the green bag, the evidence given before the
Lords could not be compared with them. Either the Kinz's
Counsel must have invented the beastly allegations about the
dance, or Signor Non Ricardo must have forsworn his previous
swearings at Milan.

Everything that Maiocco had previously sworn, with re'l
spect to the solitude of her MAJESTY'S bed-rocm, now appears.,
to be uteri; false; for, being asked valether he ever recollects
the chiid Vicroarne sleeping away from her 111azisra he an-1
swers, ric3rdJ.' And again, to a similar question—
raj: I don't recollect!' The witness, we must notice also,
war whose evid..nce it has been thought proper to open this
notable cause, is so grossly ignorant, that even the very inter-
preter, sworn by Government in its own behalf, complains that
the fellow does not understand the• commonest word; even he
(the. Interpreter) does not know how to put a single question to
him'.'—We positively blush, and sink with shame, when we re-
flect that these proceedings are to go forth into the world, and
that foreign nations are to know in what a state we are in this
country. Neither our history, nor that of any other nation
where reading and writing were understood, presents anything
like such a trial—such charges, so supported--and such a wit-
ness: We can hardly even join in the ridicule and laughter
which we know that these proceedings will now begin to excite.
Upon the getting up of this conspiracy, we shall have more to
say hereafter; suffice it to observe, at present, that this wretched
winless, who probably does not know what an oath means, was
honied and fed by the British Ambassador.
" But we turn to a more pleasing part of the subject.. The
QUEEN may now, we beli-ve, be considered as triumphing. For
the first three yeats, at least, of her MAJESTY'S painful peregri-
nations, she stands before her husband'i admiring subjects as
white as unsunned snows; and it is not likely that her criminal
inclinations should increase with advancing years. Every tittle
of the calumny-has destroyed itse/f. Bet in what terms are we
to speak of such a witness, when we know that all our reproofs
must fall upon those who have had the effrontery to produce
him? Well might the QUEEN scream at the sight of him! But
her sorrow. will now be turned into joy. We trust we may an-
nounce to the expectant Nation, that the festive garlands may
preparing."—Tinses.

LOAD Nrr.sen ANTI AN ITALIAN WITNTSS:.-II was the remark
of a man, who, whatever might be his private individual fail-
ing, always acted constitutionally right, " That he would not
believe an Italian on his oath." Ile said this upon a Court
Iklartial, where the LE of a man depended upon Italian evi-
dence. The man was acquitted—the Italian disgraced. In a
ft n,l years the Italian waa prosecuted for an offence at Minorca.
lie was sentenced to die. Lord Nitsr.is questioned bins as to
the truth on the preceding trial. " I swore," said the Italian,
" to a parcel of lies; but I swore on an rnglish Prayer-book !"
The horror of Lord Nresox was great, but he bad spoken. The
man was forgiven, and hears the same name new as one of the
4.l.rt.sses accusers'—(Nottingham Review.)
In the ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S statement of the
case for the prosecution on Monday last, we find
some remarks on the performances of one Mahomet,
which had rained a prejudice against her MAJESTY
that it requires only a perusal of the following pas-
sages in a well-known work on Spain, to obliterate
tiom the minds of her judges. It will there appear
that the dancing exhibitions of Mahomet, so mueh
dwelt upon by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, are neither
more nor less than thefandango in its original form,
as introduced into Spain by the Moors:

" No sooner is it begun at a-ball than every countenance be-
comes animated ; and even those who, by their age and profes-
s! so, arc most obliged to gravity, have much difficulty in pre-
ve.:ting themselves from joining in the cadence. It is related
on this subject, that the Court of Rome, scandalized that a
country, renowned for the purity of its faith, should rot long
age have proscribed this profane dance, resolved to pronounce
Ls formal condemnation. A Consistory assembled; the pros.'!-
*salon of the fu was begun according to rule; and sen-
t-ace was about to be thundered against it; when one of the
Judges judiciously observed. that a criminal ought lot to be
condemned without being heard. The observation had weight
with the assembly. Two Spaniards were brought before it;
end, to the sound of instruments, displayed all the graces of the
fairings. The severity of the Judges was not proof against
the exhibition : their austere ccuntenances began to relax : they
rose from their seats, and their :anis and their legs soon found
Weir former suppleness. The cousistory-hall was changed into
a dancing-room, and thefaisdangs was acquitted. The fandango
is diferent,,according to the places in which it is practised. It
is frequently called for at the Theatres, and generally closes
private balls."

Yesterday morning, the Duchess of CLAPPNCE
took an airing in her carriage, and called on the
Ducheis of KENT at Kensington Palace, and the
Ducheiss of GLoucEsraa, at Gloucester House.

STIRLINO SILVER Anitow.—On the 4th instant, a detachment
of the Royal Company of Archers assembled at Stirling, to
shoot for the silver arrow presented by the town. About three
o'clock, the party matched out to the King's Park.. Two tar-
gets were placed at the distance of 180 yards front each other;
and, after a keen contest, winch lasted for a considerable time,
the prize was finally adjudged to JOHN LINNINO, Esq. of the
Excise Office, Edinburch. A numerous company dined toge-
ther, and spent the evening in the greatest harmony and convi-
viality. It is seventy-seven years since the last Stirling arrow
was snot for; it was then woa by a Mr. PIMIROSZ, of Dunipace,
who was engaged in the Rebellion which broke out immediately
after. The arrow was then lost ; but the present Magistrates
have revived this ancient and martial exercise.

RAMSG..4I AUGUST 21.

Mr. WILLIAM CURTIS, son of the worthy Baronet,
Sir WILLIAM, iri coming down from Loudon, to join
his numerous and fine family here, on board his yacht,
on Saturday last, had the misfortune to lose one of
his people overboard, in Soa Reach. The poor fel-
low, it appears, had opened the gangway door for
some purpose, and omittcd to fasten it again in al
proper manner; when laying his hand upon it, the
door flew open, and he fell head-foremost into the
River, went down instantly, and never was seen to
come up again. Mr. CURTIS made the sad event
known on shore, and offered a reward for the body.
This Gentleman, who has deservedly the character
of possessing a very feeling heart, is much distressed
at the circumstance; and, at this moment, is actively
employed in the humane intention of making some
provision for the poor man's family, consisting of a
wife and five children.

Monday, Prince CHARLES of LEININGEN, accom-
panied by Mr. WAGNER and Captain CONROY, visited
the Tower and Mint.

Yesterday, the Marchioness Dowager of LANS-
DOWN gave a grand dinner to the Earl of LAUDER-
DALE and a select party of her distinguished friends,
at her elegant residence in Albemarle-street. In the
evening her Ladyship was at home to all the distin•
guished fashionables in town. Her Ladyship has
issued cards of invitation for another grand rout, to
take place on Wednesday night next.
Yesterday, the Earl and Countess of DERBY gave a
grand dinner at their house in Grosvenor-square, to
the Earl and Countess of CowPER, Earl GREY, Earl,
of TIIANET, Mr. TIERNRY, Mr. H. G. BENNETT, Mr.
CREEVEY, M.P. and a large party of distinguished,
personages.

Yesterday, as the Marquis of WORCESTER was re-
turning from the 'House of Lords in-a tilbury, his horse
became restive in St. James's-street, and after kick-
ing and plunging for some time, overturned the car-
riage, and his Lordship was taken up in a state of in-
sensibility and carried to the Club, house next to the
St. James's Hotel, when a surgeon was sent for, who,
after bleeding the Noble Marquis and using other
proper means of recovery, we are happy to say the
-Duke of BEAUFORT was assured that he- was not se-
verely injured, and the servant very slightly.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The first Part of King
Henry the Fourth was performed last sight, when a
new Falstqf made his appearance in the person of
Mr. TERRY• The experiment was extremely ha-
zardous, being quite out of Mr. TERRY'S usual line
of performance, and he had already established so
high a character with the Public, that we thought it
something like rashness to expose that character to
the peril of such an undertaking. Our fears for the
Actor are now at an end—the effort has been made,
and has been successful. His perfect comprehension
of the part, his just delivery of the language, and his
accurate discrimination of the various beauties of the
Author, were such as could only have proceeded from
a mind gifted with many advantages from nature,
and cultivated in no small degree by literary habits.
The audience, though not very numerous, was very
respectable, and they bore ample testimony to his
merits. The soliloquy upon honour told admirably
with every part of the House; it admitted a hearer
approach to his favourite sarcasm than any other in
the part, and perhaps upon that account was one of
the most striking features in his performance. The
gallant Hotspur was excellently acted by Mr. C.
KEMBLE. Mr. CONNOR played Prince Henry re-
spectably. The remaining characters were well sus-
tained, and the general performance was highly cre-
ditable to the Company:
ENOLISU OPERA HousE.--Last night, the two new
pieces, Patent Seasons and Whang Fong, were re-
peated with increased success. Before the pei form-
ance began, Mr. BARTLEY announced the severe ill-
ness of Mr. PLARMAN, whose place, in the first piece,
was filled by Mr. It. Pattups, and in the latter, by,
Mr. Itowsortinsr, both of whom acquitted them-
selves to the satisfactiori of the House. The Duke of
WELLINGTON, and several other distinguished cha-'
racteis, were present.
Pier Jaen Jounstotta, the Comedian, although he has retired
front the London Stage,lias not quitted it entirely, for he know
",,fretting bis hour" at the Liverpool Theatre,
