si in had actid erinsinaily, but that the Agenki of tint
had been guilty of the deepest crimes. It was not necessary
to prove that English Agents had thus. disgraced themselvds ;
it was quite sufficient to prove the guilt of foreign Agents.
It appeared that witnesses could be brought to their Lord:
,hips Bar, to shew that a conspiracy between foreigners and
~:inlishmen existed, and still the defendant was desired to
raniine herself to the production of evidence sleeting this
.vitnesses already examined, and was told that the proof
that those who had collected them Were suborners of per-
is.ry, upon the evidence of others, was not admissible. Upon
what principle was this conduct of their Lordships defensible?
It Vt'JS not likely that witnesses who were bribed to give false
•vitknce, would come forwari to give true evidence against
inns! who employed them ? le,was by the failure in the attempts
'to corrupt others that those guilty acts could be brought to
light. The fatt was only to be proved by those who had refused
the bribe. The agency Vilmacarti had been established be-
yond a doubt by te evidence of Mr. Powell. If their Lord-
ships did not hear the evidenie in proof of the conspiracy,
he saw no safety for the administration of justice, no security
dist their Lordships would not be trapped into menures which
'boy would abhor—(Hear).
Lord M A NVERS .poke decidedly in favour of taking the
opinion of the Judges upon the question.
Lord DONOUG II MORE said, he never felt more obliged
to the Noble Lori (Liverpool), than at his suggestion that the
Judges should give their opinion.

Yesterday, Lord and Lady CASTLEREAGII arrived
in town from their seat, North Cray. They alighted
at his Lordship's apartments, in Downing-street,
Avhere they will remain until to-morrow, and then
return to North Cray.
Lord ERSKINE. Mr. BROUGHAM, Earl and Countess
COWPER, Earl of SEFTON, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and
Eat! GREY, were among the distinguished panty who
aloed with the Earl and Countess of DERBY, on Sun-
day, at their house in Grosvenor-square.
Monday, in consequence of printed notices circu-
lated through Aberdeen and neighbourhood, a Meet-
ing was held in Dempster's Hotel, « for the purpose
of addres.ing her MAJESTY Queen CAROLINE on the
subject of the present unconstitutional proceedings
against her." Beibre the hour of meeting the large
hall . was crowded to excess. Mr. Rom= AISER•
CROMBIE was called to the chair; when a series of
Resolutions,. with an Address to her MAJESTY, ex-
pressive of the sentiments of the Meeting towards her,
were unanimously passed, and ordered to be trans-
mitted to Mr. Hum, the Representative in Parliament
for that district of Burghs, to be by him presented to
her MAJESTY. The Address has already received
numerous signatures.
.t Meetiig of the Inhabitants of Bridge Ward was
yesterday held at Fishmongers Hall, to consider the
propriety of presenting an Address of Condolence to
her MAJESTY, on her recent domestic losses, and of
Congratulation on her return to this country, as well
as on the .prospect of the failure of her enemies to
es:abli.li the loul charges brought against her. Mr.
Deputy CHILD, who presided, having stated the ob-
ject of the Meeting, Mr. TuottuttlLL, in a speech of
considerable length, reprobated the proceedings
against her MAJESTY, and argued with much acute-
ness against the opening speech of the Arroassv-
GENERA L, in which, he said, many charges of scan-
dalous conduct)rad been forcibly dwelt upon, which
had not been attempted to be proved. He pro-
nounced the witnesses adduced against her MAJESTY
a disgrace to any Court of Justice, and concluded
by moving a series of Resolutions of the same ten-
dency as has been agreed to at several similar Meet-
ings. These Resolutions being carried, an Address.
was proposed, read, and agreed to, and is to be pre-
sented to her MAJESTY by the Deputy, Common
Councilmen, and Inhabitants of the Ward. Thanks
were then voted to Mr. Alderman WooD, Mr.TitoßN•
HILL, the Mover of the Resolutions, and the Chair-
man, after which the Meeting adjourned.
Yesterday evening, a Meeting of the Carpenters
and Joiners of the Metropolis was held ip the Assem-
bly Room, Brewer-street, Golden-squaie. The room
was crowded to excess, and some hundreds went
away, being unable to procure admission. The Chair
was taken at half-past six o'clock by a Mr. ARMi.•
TAGE, who in a short and expressive speech stated
the objects for which they were convened, and ex-
pressed his hopes, that, as the Meeting was held
solely for the opinion of the Trade, no person who
did not belong to that Trade should address them.
The Meeting was strictly legal, he contended, unless
it was to be said that loyalty was a sin. After a va-
riety of speeches, the Meeting agreed to a series of
Resolutions and an Address.

A Meeting of the different Lodges of the Order of
Odd Fellows was held on Tuesday last, at the Feathers
Tavern, Pimlico, to consider the propriety of ad-
dressing the QUERY. An Address prepared by a
Committee was read and unanimously adopted, and
a deputation was appointed to wait on her MAJWITY,
to know when she would be graciously pleased to
receive the same.

The following is her MAJESTY'S gracious Answer
to the Address from
,Kendal and other Towns in
Westmoreland:
" The Inhabitants of the Towns of Kendal, Ambleslde,
Kirby Lonsdale, Nilthorp, and their environs, in the county of
N';estmoreland, are requested to accept my unfeigned thank sfor
tail loyal and affectionate Address.
" The indignities which I have endured began with my arri-
val in this country, or rather had commenced before I ever
reached the coast. The accumulated acts of injustice which I
have experiencedhave ever since been roiling on in a tide of out-
rage, till they have reached their present ovErwbelming 'magni-
tude. Though the present formidable attack upon my hostler
and my rights cannot be immediately deduced from the artilees
of my enemies, when I first landed in this country, yet a nice
observer might trace it back through the winnerous links of a
most malicious conspiracy, and a most deliberate persecution.
" I participate in the honest pride which the subscribers of
this Address feel in belonging to the native province of my
ArroausT-Gcuraak, who has recently made so great an addi-
tion to his former celebrity, by the eloquence which he has dis-
played in my defence.
" My adversaries, at a very early period, established a manu-
factory of slander against my reputed's. Those who have set
the machinery at work have fabricated every kind of tale by
Nvhich the female character could be destroyed; from the
petty transgression of decorum, or of decency, to the most
flagrant violations of the moral law. These factitious in-
-1 tmities or sins they have circulated not only over this country,
trzt over Europe, in every guise in which It was supposed that
tly^ venom might be best diffused, or the mischief most opera-
tive—from the indirect suggestion, or the insidious whisper, to
).id assertion, the vociferous slander, and the unblushing lie.
`• If rumour had formerly a thousand tongues, my emend!'
dzet:picsi that number, till they buzzed tales of my infamy into
every corner of Europe, or promulgated their falsehoods to such
an extent, as to cause their very immensity to give them credibi-
lity, or their very magnitude to make them believed. This Was
one of the arts of that gigantic conspiracy which has piled one
"mount* of misrepresentation and fabehood upon another, till
the Throne of the Qatar was ready to be overwhelmed. But,
thanks to the good sense of the Kropp.—thanks to their love of
'justice sod their hatred of oppression--thanks to an enlightened
and to the ability of my Advocates—the giant is already
prostrated in the dust. He is indeed yet struggling for life ; but
perjury is written on his forehead, and he is devoted to the car&
ciation of mankind."
