had heel) demonstrated already by the evidence, that the Qttecu's
accusers had a power of procuring witnesses which she could
not enjoy. Not only were large sums at their conunand, not
only was force used where bribery failed, but thi foreign force
(for the conclusion was irresistil*) used to bring the King's
vitnesies would not be employed to make those of the Queen
'tome.
Further, the same force found ineffectual in driving the
King's witnesses over, would be exerted to keep the Queen's
witnesses back. He did not profess to be so deeply skilled in
tuman nature as his Learned Friends, but he guessed that the
same power which said to one man, " Go over to give evidence
against the Queen," was not likely to tell another, " Go you to
give evidence in her favour." He might assume even more;
the Government which told the King's witnesses to stay away
from England at their peril, would warn those of the Queen to
go to England at their peril. Upon these grounds he left the
case with the House, without at all pretending to be able to
estimate either the importance of new impending difficulties, or
of those in which it was already involved. He had of course
no right to offer any advice or suggestion to their Lordships,
and perhaps
Should they wade no more,
0 Returning were as tedious as go o'er."

THE QUEEN.

Her M AJESTY went down to the House of Lords
yesterday at half-past two o'clock. She did not ar-
rive in town till half-past twelve, as she naturally
expected that the greater part of the day would be
spent in debating, and that her attendance would be
unnecessary at an early hour. The period between
her MAJESTY'S arrival in St. James's-square, and her
departure for the House of Lords, was occupied in
receiving Addresses. The scene which St. James's-
square and neighbourhood presented yesterday was
extremely exhilarating. The crowds that assembled a:
a very early hour were immense; and at ten o'clock
it was almost impossible to walk along Pall-mall,
Cockspur-street, &c. in the direction of Craring-
cross, so thronged were the flag-ways with persons
of both sexes, and of the most respectable appear-
ance, moving towards St. James's-square. All the
other avenues leading to her MAJESTY'S residence
had a similar appearance, but not in the same degree.
In St. James's-square, the steps up to all the hall
doors were filled with Ladies, and a line of waggons,
furniture-carts, &c. in some parts two, in others three
deep, was drawn up before Lady FRANCIS'S house,
and filled with well-dressed females. The street
leading from Charing-cross down to Westminster
was also choaked up with people, particularly that
part of it next the barrier; the steps, railings, walls,
&c. were covered with persons anxiously expecting
to catch a sight of their QUEEN as she passed along.
Her MAJESTY left St. James's-square a little before
two o'clock, accompanied by Lady CHARLOTTE
LINDSAY, and followed, in a coach and four, by her
Chamberlains, Sir W. Goer. and the Hon. KEPPEL
CRAVEN. During her progress to the House her
MAJESTY was received with the most unbounded ac-
clamations by all ranks of people. The Ladies in
the windows of the different streets through which
she passed waved their handkerchiefs, and poured
forth their benedictions on her head ; and the Gen-
tlemen followed, with energy, the example of their
fair companions. Her MAJostr left the House of
Lords at half-past four o'clock, and on her return was
hailed with greetings as energetic and as general
as those which pursued her course to the House.
—At five o'clock, the Deputation from the Ward of
Cripplegate, in twenty-eight open carriages, with
four horses each, brought up the Address voted at a
Vestry Meeting last week. The Deputation were all
dressed in black, with the exception of the Common
Councilmen, who wore their violet silk gowns ; and
every individual wore a large white favour on his
breast. They were attended by the Ward Officers in
their liveries, bearing their various insignia. Her
MAJESTY received them in the drawing-room, when
Mr.Srzmans, the seconder of the Address, read it to
her MAJESTY, who returned a very gracious reply.
—Her MAJESTY immediately set out for Branden-
burgh House, and in less than ten minutes after her
departure, the immense multitude had dispersed.

Our Readers will recollect, that the House of Lords,
agreeing, on Saturday, that the Counsel for her
MAJESTY should be allowed to elicit from witnesses
their places of residence, occupation, &c. in order to
enable them to make inquiries, and to reserve Mk
main cross-examination for a future period—and that
some of their Lordships began to think they had con-
cede 4 too much !
Such a concession, however, goes a very short way
towards relieving her MAJESTY from the hardship
she suffers from the refusal of a list of witnesses in
the outset. It may, indeed, enable the Counsel to
cross-question more effectually than they could do
without any previous inquiry ; but in the interval be-
tween the examination in chief and the cross-ques-
tioning, the evidence against the QUEEN is allowed
to operate to her prejudice in the public mind. Her
)MAJESTY, therefore, has but a choice of evils. The
debate was resumed yesterday, and Coun el were
called in a little past one o'clock; The eloquent
speeches of Messrs. BROUGHAM and DENSIAN, on
this point, cannot fail to be read with the deepest
interest, and to carry conviction to every unprejudiced
mind. The Lords continue the discussion this day.
From the indelicate nature of this investigation,
