THE QUEEN.

So powerful an effort was made yesterday on the
cross-examination of Lieutenant FLYNN, that had it
been possible to .shake his evidence it would have
been overturned ; but the more it was sifted, the
more firmly was it established. At one time the
witness, labouring under indisposition, seemed inco-
herent. respecting " the original" of the document
from which his short abstract of occurrences was
derived. In fact, it turned out that he had two
originals in his eye, the one " the private log-book,"
as it was called, written in bad Italian, and the
other the copy made by Pascuzw. The original
of PASCUELLI'S copy was the privitte log-book—but
the abridged extract which he held in his hand was
written by SCUIAVINI, from Lieutenant FLYNN'S
dictation from PASCUELLI'S clean copy; and hence,
when the paper in his hand was spoken of, he con-
sidered PASCUELLI'S copy as its original. There
was no contradiction in the evidence when the facts
were fairly elicited.

The evidence, in contradiction of BERGAMI having
slept under the QUEEN'S tent, was equally established.
He could say, positively, that BERGAMI, in the voyage
out, slept iq the dining-room—because he had opper—,
'unities of seeing him there—but he could not swear
positively to his sleeping there on the voyage home
--because he had not access to that room in the night.
He swore, over and over, that he never saw him
under the tent during any night, though he had fre-
quent occasions to lift up the canvass and look in ;
and light enough to see every one in the tent, had
more been there than one ; yet was it attempted to
make him answer this question :—" How was it that,
when you had so strong an impression on your
mind that Bergami did not sleep under the tent,
you did not prevent the necessity of calling on
you soy, often on the subject, and say at once,
that you had no doubt he did not sleep there?"—
We ask, where was " the necessity ?" Had not the
witness over and over stated that he had never seen
him there ; and his belief that he never slept under
the tent? Besides—no question to which he could
have given his " no doubt" had been put to the wit-
ness. We say that every fact sworn to by this wit-
ness in his examining in chief, wa! only the more
effectually established by the severe cross-examination
which he underwent. See an illustration of this in
the particulars respecting the bathing•tub: it was
too large to be got into the QUEEN'S cabin; from
the way in which the bed and sofa were placed ; pot
above one-half of it could begot into the cabin,
CARRINGTON'S cross-examination was highly cre-
ditable to him, and highly satisfactory to their
Lordships.

This day being appointed by the QUEEN to receive
Addresses, the streets are crowded with Processions
and people. That of the Benefit Societies was most
splendid, and conducted with a degree of decorum
highly gratifying. At an early hour they were as-
sembled, to the number of fifty-three, in Lincoln's
Inn-fields, where they were arranged, with their
Stewards and usher Officers, their standards, and as
many bands of Ousic ; and between eleven and twelve
o'clock, were all on march down the Strand, deco-
rated with white cockades, towards Charing-Cross,
where they are to fall in with other processions, on
their way 'to Brandenburgh House.
To pretend to describe the processions in carriages,
this day, would be impossible. The greater number
of them were open carriages and four, with the
postilions dressed in silk uniform jackets, and wear-
ing white favours. The carriages 'sere almost innu-
merable, and the compnny all well, dressed.
The day has proved most favourable, which has
I increased the splendour of the and filled the
streets and roads with thousands of pedestrians, tQ
I witness the scene. All the. windows along the line
of the procession are filled with well-dressed females,
