THE QUEEN.

I was.

The proceedings in the House of Lords yesterday
have surprised many : the Earls of Ltyzapoot, and
HARROWBY having taken one side, and the LORD
CHANCELLOR another; when, on a division, the LARD
CHANCELLOR was left in a minority. The question
was, whether the Quees's Counsel should be per-
mitted, in a future stage of the proceedings, to cross-
examine the witnesses a second time ? and it was
carried by a majority of 121 to 106. That there
should have been a difference of opinion among their
Lordships does not surprize us : nor should it sur-
prize any who are willing to believe that their Lord-
ships aim at dispensing impartial justice to the par-
ties. The arguments of the LORD CHANCELLOR,
though we confess they have not convinced us,
any more than they did the majority of their Lord-
ships, were certainly well worthy of attention :
in a common case they would have been unanswer-
able, but in a trial altogether anomalous, it might, in
our mind, lead to injustice were the technicalities of
ordinary procedure closely adhered to. The law of
Natural Justice, written in every man's mind, should
be followed on aft occasion like the present. If
statute law could reach every case we should have
no Court of Chancery, and, consequently, no Lord
Chancellor. If the natural imbecility of statute law
renders another mode of procedure necessary in
many questions of right, can it be unreasonable that
an anomalous procedure should spurn at the controul
and bands of dicta offered under the disciplined
harness of precedent?
The determination come to by their Lordships,
which we consider as having resulted from the power-
ful eloquence of Messrs. BROUGHAM and DENMAN,
we consider as a triumph of justice. It does not, in-
deed, place her MAJEs•ry in the same situation as if
a list of witnesses had been furnished at the outset;
for evidence which a cross-examination may chew to
be worth nothing, is allowed in the meaptime to pro-
duce its effect on the public mind. But though an

impression may thus be produced of incalculable in-
jury to her MAJESTY, still the truth, however late,
may at last be elicited, while a cross-examination,
without the requisite information, would, in many
cases, be of no use whatever.
Lord ERSKINE afterwards moved, that a list of
witnesses be yet furnished to her MAJESTY ; but this
motion was negatived by a large majority.
The Public ought always to bear in mind, that by
this refusal of a list of witnesses, a harsh measure of
justice has been dealt out to her MAJESTY, that the
election which she is at last allowed is merely a choice
of evils; and we owe it, therefore, to her MAJESTY
not to allow the ex parse evident to influence our
minds unfairly against her.
The popularity of her MAJESTY appears to in-
crease daily. St. James's-square was again filled at
an early hour yesterday morning with a vast multi-
tude of respectable people ; some thousands of whom
kept their standing the whole day with infinite pa-
tience. Of these the Ladies were in the proportion
of at least three to one, and among them were many
of the Society of Friends.
Her MAJESTY arrived from her villa at a quarter
past twelve, and was received with the usual fervent
acclamations of the vast concourse assembled. Upon
learning that Alderman WOOD was at the House of
Lords, her MAJESTY instantly dispatched one of
her suite to enquire the state of the proceedings.
At two dclock Alderman WOOD returned, having
left the messenger, still waiting at the House for the

-close- of debate. In about half as hour the met- I
stager interned, bringing the result oldie debate and
the division which had taken place upon it. The,
royal carriage was immediately ordered to the door,
and in a few minutes her MAJESTY set forward for
the House in the usual state, amidst the most enthu-
siastic cheering of the male part of the crowd, and
the ardent benedictions of the other sex, whilst hats
and handkerchiefs were waving everywhere in glori-
ous confusion. The same scene of popular attach-
ment was displayed all the way to the barriers, which
her MAJESTY entered soon after three o'clock. She
did not remain more than an hour in her retiring-
room, and returned to St. James's-square, her return
being marked with every demonstration of undimi-
nished regard. St. James's-square was, if possible,
more crowded than in the forenoon. Her MAJESTY
returned to Brandenburgh House at half-past six.
This forenoon, at a quarter past eleven o'clock, the
Quails reached the House of Peers. The numbers
collected in the streets, in the windows, and oa the
parapets of houses, to greet her MAJESTY on her way,
were as great as ever; and—let the calumniating
Journals continue to assert what they may to the pre-
judice of her MAJEary—the display of fashion and
elegance was no way diminished. " GOD save the
QUEEN " GOD bless the QUEEN !" came from many
pretty lips which have never yet beta fouled with the
language of slander.

Who attended you u courier ?--liazsalli cape with me to
Holland, ..aid Dom Holland an Englishman came with me t.r:
.this country.
Did this Gentleman ask you any questions near this plate a

few days ago'—;here the Solicitor-General pointed to a Geri-
t!entan who stood near the Bar).
Mr. Ibteron.am immediately objected to this mode of question-
ing. as the most positive way of leading the witness.
Here the short-hand writer was called upon to read his note
of the questi n an.l answer upon this subject.
Lord II %RR OW BY said, that in consequence of the neces-
sity of supplyieg their Lordships with the printed evidence, the
short-hand writer had been obliged to send away his notes to
the Press. I lii Lordship suggested the necessity of having ad-
-66)=1. short-hand writers, the great haste used upon the oc-
casion having caused much inaccuracy.
The Softerroa-Gxxxsat., in reference to the eye3tlon he had
put to the witness, denied that it was a leading question. It
e..as importart to him to refer to a fact which had been stated
in the cou:se oi the cross-examination, for the purpose of ob-
taining an explanation.
111 r. BROULUANI objected to the irregularity of setting up a
witness, and after three answers had been got from him, the list
of which tV .01, that he had not opened his mouth to any one upon
the subject of the deposition at Milan, endeavouring to get from
him another answer. This was little less thau admitting that
such evidence was not to be relied upon.
The lull!) CHANCELLOR said, the Judges were unani.
mous in the opinion that the answer he had given might be read
to him, an.: that he might be called upon to explain.
lord lIISK I NE said, the most ads isable mode would be to
have the answer read to the witness, and that he should be de-
bired t.) consider it; but he thought it irregular in a Counsel to
sal;gcst and help him to any reco!lection.
Lord LIVERPOOL said, the witness in what he said might
base mean:, that be never had any private conversation with any
bide, and might not at all have alluded to a deposition or exa-
m:nation. It would be but fair to ascertain whe:her what he
has said applies to an examination, or to a private conversation.
The SOLienOI4CMIIIAL requested that the witness should be
o:der).11 to withdraw, until the Short-hand Writer's notes were
brought back from Rases-street, In the Scram!, to which place
they gad been sent. In the meantime, another witncis could be
examined. •

Mr. 81110042111AR1 had no objection, upon condition, that the
witness should not be allowed to communicate with any person.
After some conversation between Lord DA RNLZY, the LORD

What agreement did you make with Rascelli, or with any
other person, abot.t coming to England?
Mr. l't*a objected to this question. It assumed that an
-1-r:ement had been entered into. The witness might be
-sk-1 whether he had made any agreement?
Mr. BROUGHAM wished to know if her Majesty's Counsel
were, in their cross-examination, not to be allowed to ask any
Lading questions.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that, in strictness, Skis
4iL.:3tion_could not be asked.

Mr. TINDAL altered the question into Whether the witness

Paulo Barteroni was coiled back far re-crageination.
The LORD CDANCELLOR ordered that part of the exa-
mination to be read over to witness which related to whether he
hoi been examined since he came to England.
ut LAUDERDALE said, the witness had never
e :Ai that be was nut examined in England; but that he had not
t..oversed with any body oa the subjtzet.

The fonner questioni and answers were then read.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, the best and shortest way
would be to ask the Witness if he had ever been examined in
England.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then directed the following
questions to be put.
Does the witness mean to say that he nevet was examined In
England pr-vious to his appearance here this morning ?—Some
persons took me into a room, and asked me if I had said so and
so? and I answered, yes.
When was that ?—I do not know the day.
Earl of LIVERPOOL—How many days is it ago?—lt
was last week, I do not know the day.
Mr. Baciummis.—Will your Lordship ask the witness if the
person who took him into the room had a paper in his hand?
On the question being put by the Loan Cisaatcawaa, the
witness answered, yes; be had a paper in his hand, and was
reading from the paper and asking me if it were not so and so?
and I said yes, whevi I knew it was true.
The Marquis of LA NSDOWN remarked, that as the wit-
ness had said in answer to a former question, that he never was
examined since his examination at Milan, and he now acknow-
ledged having been examined in England, he wished to know
the reason why he bad given the former answer ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the most regular way
would be to read the question and answer alluded to by the Noble
Marquis to the witness, and then ask him what he meant by
that answer.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE wished to know the time and
place of his last examination.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL saw no difficulty in the hastiness
at all. The witness said he had not been examined since he was
at Milan, but when the quebtion was put in a more specific man-
ner, as to his being examined in England, he said yes.

Yesterday evening, the Earl and Countess BA•
'FOXIEST entertained a select party of distinguished
Personages, at their house in Great Stanhope-street
Yesterday, the Earl of SEFTON gave a grand dinner
to a large party of Not)len:en and Gentlemen, at his
house in Arlington-street.
Yesterday, the Earl and Countess of DERBY gave
a grand dinner, at their house in Grosvenor-square,
to a large party of distinguished Personages. Among
whom were—

The Duke and Duchess of Leinster, Earl Grey, Earl of
Rosslyn, Duke of Grafton, Earl of Carnarvon, Lord and Lady
Hint, and Lady Anne Wilbraham.

The Bishop of LLA NDA IF, by being appointed
Dean and Residenti.try of St. Paul's Cathedral, wil:
have about four thousand pounds a-year added to his
Lordship's income.
Thursday and Friday an immense concourse of
people assembled on Southsea Common, attracted
thither by the diversions advertised to take place on
those days, .% hich consisted of racing by horses the
property of Othcei sof Portsmouth Garrison. The first
day's sport consisted of a sweepstakes of five guineas
each, with forty guineas added, for thorough-bred
horses, for which Reuben Butler, ch. c. by Saucer,
and the b. colt Beverley contended, and was won by 1
the former in two beats. Three horses then started
for a Sweepstakes of 7gs. each, with SOgs. added, for
half-bled horses, which was won in two heats, by
a horse named Don Juan. Afterwards a Sweepstakes
of Five Guineas each, with Thirty Guineas added,
hich was won by Magic, in two heats, heating three ,
others.—The sport on the second day consisted of a
Ladies' Plate of Fifty Pounds, for which Reuben
Butler, Magic, and sarals started, and which was won
in two heats by Sarah. An accident, which fortu-
nately was attended with consequences less serious
than might have been calculated upon, occurred in
the first heat of this race: Reuben Butler was win-
ning easy, when a y oung woman crossing the course
came in contact with him, and threw him down, as well
as herself: but neither she, the jockey, nor the horse,
sustained much injury. Reuben Butler, by' this ac-
cident, was thrown out, and lost the race. A Stake
for the beaten horses, which was won in two heats
by the b. g. Creighton, closed the diversions.
Tuesday se'nnight, at the Chester Sessions, Samuel
Lloyd, aged 19, a butcher, was indicted for felo-
niously stealing a watch and duce seals, the property
of General Grosvenor, on the l lth of March last.—
Mr. TEMPLE stated the case to this effect to the Jury :
This is an indictment against the prisoner for steal-
ing the watch and seals of General Grosvenor. You
will well remember, Gentlemen, that during the last
Election, a violent assault, a most disgraceful attack
was made upon the carriage and person of the pro-
secutor. In passing along the bridge it was stopped,
the General was violently pulled out of it at the
great risk of his life, and the carriage was completely
destroyed. He was afterwards confined by a riotous
mob at a pnblic-hoUse called the Bear and Billet.—
When the General was taken from his carriage, an
attempt was made on his watch, but he contrived to
retain it to the period of his being dragged into the
Bear and Billet, when he lost it. Nothing was heard
of it for a long period; and if you shall be of opi-
nion, after hearing the evidence which I shall adduce,
that the prisoner committed the robbery, it will ap-
pear that he wore it on his person immediately after
the theft, for a long period ; for it will be shewn that
he took the watch to a person named Briars, Who
asked whose it was? when he was told by the pri-
soner that it was no business of his to enquire.—
This is important ; for you will hear, that he has since
stated he purchased it. Briars will identify one of the
sea taken from the General, as being the same which
was brought to him by the prisoner. About the same
period, the prisoner gave another seal to Jane Knight,
a girl of his acquaintance. I believe, on the 22d of
June. This seal will be proved by General Grosvenor
to be his property. Jane Knight will also state, that
within a fortnight after the Election, she saw the
watch and seals in the prisoner's pocket. On the 2d
of July, when he was apprehended, he was asked,
where he got the watch and seals P when he said he
had them from a person dressed like a sailor, and
gave him five .shillings for them, two days after the
carriage had been thrown over the bridge. If this be
not proved by him, the law will hold the prisoner
guilty, for it is an every day case for every thief to
account for the property he stole by saying he had
bought it from a third person.—The trial commenced
about twenty minutes before four o'clock, and termi-
nated about a quarter before nine o'clock.—The Jury
then consulted together for nearly three quarters of
an hour, when they returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Some persons hailed it with tumultuary shouts, and
clapping of hands, notwithstanding the previous in-
junctions of the Court.
At the Cornwall Assizes an action was brought by
an Attorney against a young Lady for law expenses
amounting to six hundred and fifty pounds, which
was prevented from going to the Jury, by the plain-
: tiff's Counsel agreeing to take a verdict for one hun-
' dred and fifty pounds 1
TANDEM MATCH.—Captain RAWLENSON undertook
his match, to drive two horses tandem, thirteen miles
within an hour, this morning, for 300 guineas.

This morning the Paris Papers of Sunday came

PARIS, AUGUST fig.

jest y. The sports in the .Champs Elysece com-
menced at three o'clock. There were brilliant illu-
minations and fire-works in the evening, and all the
Theatres were opened gratis.
The Chamber of Peers, formed into a Court of
Justice, is to meet this day. They will, in the first
instance, hear the Procureur du Roi.

The King yesterday morning, supporting himself
on one of the Officers of his Household, proceeded
into the Salle des Gardes, called Salle du Roi. " You
see," said his Majesty to the Officers who were there,
" that lam very well. Ido not walk much—but I
do walk. My friends, I am much pleased to see you."
One of the Journals has stated by mistake the an est
of a 's uperior Officer of the Royal Guards ; it is not a
Major, but an Adjutant-Major, who was conveyed on
Wednesday to the Cenciergelie, charged with being
concerned in the conspiracy.
