THE QUEEN.

It must be allowed that the present trial presents
some very curious incidents—a Minister, acting
along with colleagues by whom he has been left in a
minority—A Judge conducting an examination on
rules which he disapproves—Ambassadors hunting
for, and marshalling witnesses against their QUEEN ;
and this with a full knowledge that a plot had been
once before got up against her MAJESTY, and sup-
ported
by perjury—ltalian witnesses collected against
a Person of high dignity, who could not be assailed
by English testimony—a House of Parliament car-
rying on a prosecution, founded on green-bag evi-
dence, which another House •refused even to look at
—a charge, prosecuted for a particular act, and wit-
nesses brought forward who give evidence of acts of
a quite different nature, as sitting on a gun, rolling
in a garden chair, looking at a dance, eating a lunch
in the kitchen, riding in an open carriage, sailing on
a lake!! -Everything done and doing that can be
done, to persuade the good people of England that
their QUEEN is the worst woman on earth ; and that
very people declaring every day that they do not be-
lieve one word of the charge, and that they consider
her MAJESTY as the most oppressed, most injured,
most deserted, and most helpless woman in the world!! !
The following observations of a Correspondent
upon a part of the witness Barbara Krantz's evidence,
will, we think, be fuund worthy of attention :
_

In the Lords Minutes, fol. 178, M. B. Krantz says, she found
a cloak in Bergami's bed.—ln fol. 188, she says she " took it
(:he cloak) out, and unfolded it." Wow it would puzzle a very
wise man to account for the Queen's cloak being in Bergami's
bet:, folded, as having auy relation to the criminality of the
Queen. But the most material point, and that which has made
the most Impression against the Queen, and the most relied upon
by your cotemporaries, is the evidence respecting the sheets,
which you will observe, if you again look at the passage, has, as
snattcr of evidence, no more relation to the Queen than it has
to yourstlf, or to any Lady of your acquaintance living at the
time in England. _ _ _

The question put to Mrs. Krantz, fol. 188, :is, " Did you at
any lint:, in making up the bed, observe anything else (i. e. be-
sicks the cloak) upon the sheets, or on any part of the bed?"

Then follow the answers respecting " stains."
It is clear that neither the question nor the answer has any re-
lation to the lime when it is pretended the cloak was found. If
I. had been intended to have connected the two supposed facts,
the question would have been (not at any time) but at fiat time.
Had the answer related to the time when the cloak was found,
the witness would herself have connected the two facts.
The latter circumstance, then, has no connexion with the for-
mer; it stands isolated, is connected with nothing, and has no
relation to the Qneen in the most remote way. Thee! is no pre-
tence even that it does—no particle of evidence, no, nor even of
any circumstances leading to a suspicion that the Queen had
been near Bergami's room. It is not even evidence at all, and
ought to be struck out.
M. Krantz deposed to three circumstances, no one of which
can, on her own evidence have any the least weight; but it is,
notwithstanding, necessary, to prevent the mischief which the
Queen's enemies aim at accomplishing, to remark on the evi-
dence, and to expose its inconsistency as it proceeds.

Her MAJESTY left the House of Lords yesterday
afternoon, at about four o'clock, on her return to St.
James's-square. The assemblage of people was very
great. The Ladies who filled the windows and bal-
conies of the houses in Parliament-street, Charing-
Cross, &c. exhibited every demonstration of respect
and affection which their ardent minds could sug-
gest. Her MAJESTY'S carriage was opened as a lan-
dau, which enabled her to acknowledge the plea-
sure she received from the homage of her subjects.
At five o'clock the Deputation with the Clerken-
well Parish Address arrived in St. James's-square in
thirty-two open carriages. They were received by
her MAJESTY in the front drawing-room, when Mr.
STEADMAN, the senior Churchwarden, read the Ad-
dress, to which her MAJESTY returned a gracious
Answer, and the Deputation kissed hands.
About the same time Sir GERARD NOEL and Mr.
HAYDEN waited upon her MAJESTY/ to know when
she would be pleased to receive the Address from
the Parish of Mary-la-bonne. Her MAJESTY ap-
pointed Monday next, at one o'clock, at Branden-
burgh House.
Preparations were then immediately ordered for
her MAJESTY'S leaving town for the night; and she
passed to her carriage, supported by Mr. Alderman
Woori—Sir GERARD NOEL, and several other Gen-
th.mea, attending her to the door of it ; and the De-
putation from Clerkenwell lining the hall and stair-
case. The carriaF,c then drove off amidst the huzzas
of the populace, and the crowd quietly separated.

DttYpet4, in one of his Poems, the name of which
we do not recollect at present, has passage which
we would strongly recommend to those who have
instituted the present proceedings against the QUEEN.
He says—
" Secreu of muriage still are sacred held,
Their sweets and bitters by the wise conceardi
Errors of wives reflect on husbands still,
And when divulg'd prpclalin they've chosen
Arid the mysterious pow'r of bed and throne,
Should always be maintain'd, but rarely ibewn."
So thought DRVDEN ; but men ere to he found in
the present day who afe so reggdiess of the myste.

riec of marriage, or of the Throne, that they will e
pose both to nakedness, make the most violent in-
roads on the public morals, waste the public money,
and hatard the peace of the Empire, rather than en-
danger their places.
