Her Majesty arrived at her residence in St. James's-
square. from Brandenburg-house, yesterday morning
about ten nsinntes before ten o'clock. She was attended
as usual by lady Anne Hamilton, and the *yowl as•
sembled round her residence was as great as on any for-
mer occasion. Mr. Alderman Wood bad arrived shout •
half an tour before, and occupied the interval in assort-
ing and arranging a great quantity of written deen-
ruents.
M ten o'clock the rerriage of her Majesty's Cham-
berlains, drew up, and the Hen. Keppel Craven alighted
to attend her Majesty ; but Sir W. Cell remained in the
carriage on account orbit lameness.
Prom this time till her Majesty's departure Ott. crowd
increased continually, and the cheering was loml and
incessant. Her Majesty more than once approached the
open a indow of the drawing-roonk and bowed to every;
part of Om net aumsombk.
At twenty minutes past eleven, the state earriagedrew
t up ; it was thrown open on account of the fineness uf
the day, and the Queen descended to it leaning on tie
arm of Mr. Craven. Her Majesty, this day, wore a
white satin fist with a superb plume of wh;te oetrieh
feathers, and she was wrapped in an ample grey ca:he-
mar.. shawl. As she seated herself in the Carriage the
;cheers and exclamations were redoahled, and the fir-
males especially seemed to set no bounds to their an-
' tbusiasni. A/any of them rushed forward in spite of
the utmost efforts to restrain them, and as her Majesty
eros.ed the footpath to her carriage they completely
surrounded, and almost overwhelmed her with their
kindnesses. Lady Hamilton was at length suffered to
take her seat in the carriage, it then moved *lowly from
the door preceded. surrounde.l, and followed by an ane-
mias, multitude on itionalty theeriag. In her programs
to the House her Majesty was every where received with
ardent nienifesrations of syrnoathy and attachment.
The windows, the balconies, fee. were again dowded
with ladies, who appeared to vie with each other in de-
monstrations of regard toward+ her. In short, had her
Majesty triumphantly refitted the altarges against her,
•he could scantly have had a prouder and more welcome
I tecytion.
At the barriers her Mljesty was received by the mili-
tary with the usual honours paid to royalty, and she
entered the House about twenty minutes befote twelve,
when she proceeded directly to her print. apartment.
At halt-past fear o'clock her Majesty returned to her
residence in St. James's-square, attended. if passible,
by still greater and more ardent multitudes than la the
toorniug. Besides the immense crowds on foot, the
whole space from Parliensent-etreet to Ckaring-cross was.

The abuze of the venal knaves of thr perm, the hire-

the weak and the guilty alone to compromise, or

Derry Down Triangle has abated somewhat of the
Prlrity of his nature. These are good omens; and.
if the people are but tree to her Maje.ty, and to

Sta—lt is possible that the Queen may fall the
victim of the foulest calumniation, and that a Bill •f
Pains and Penalties may pass into a law to di wee
her. But even supposine, for the sake of argument,
that her guilt, as an adultress, should he established
on the alleged evidence against her, yet it is impos-
sible that swig a 13111 can pus, without violating the
rules of the law, and militating against the spirit of
English jurisprudence. The doctrine of reeristiorstioa
has bees su ablv laid down by Sir William Scott, in
the case of Forster r. Forster, determined in the Bi-
shop of London's Court, Michaelmas term, 17110, mid
is so applicable to the circumstances of the Queen's
cases that I have no doubt your readers will feel in-
terested in the perusal of the judgment pronounced
by the distinguished and enlightened civilian on that
occasion, which I now transcribe from the manuscript
notes then taken.

" This," (said Sir William Scott), " is. in my ap-
preliensiou, a very enelaucisoly case, arising from a
prosecution brought by the husband against the wife,
to be relieved front the obligation of colsaisititsg with
her by reason of her adultery, anti it i< with consider-
able roncern i am compelled to say the fact of adultery
is proved so as to exclude all reasonable doubt. Thai
&knee set up by the wife consists of various parts.
lit. Denial of the Pact. 2d. Plea of Justification.
These pleas are consistent, as it is perfectly open for
the wife to say in the same breath, I have not coop
milted adultery, and if I hail, Now are notecit•eetsael-
ing barred f,oin the reme,lg !Igo pray.' In this
there is no inconsistency. they may stand together
and often do. Adultery cannot be joistitied, but it
may he iostified agaillet the party bringing tit( reel
area. wine, though not mortally, and war be 'ob-
ject legally to be punished as a crime. Vet ussdoeht-
eilly there are circumstances which essay deprive the
party of his remedy praying civil relief. Her 341 de-
fame is, his ill-treatment of her ; and in the first ar-
ticle of her plea, it setts forth, tbat without_ any pro-
vocation whatsoever, he has treated her with great
ill-temper, and with the utmost coldisess and neglect.
But this is no legal justification, for it his tinkled-
ness was such as the law would notice, it was her
duty to :spply to the law far relief ; and if less,
a call upon her to exercise the virtues of submis-
sion and patience. At the ,ante :inir it is extremely
proper to be pleaded, by way of replication to
a hat he has pleaded. It may assist the ground of
legal justification, though not amounting to a legal
justification in itself, as another plea in the same case
that his affections had rested on another woman; it
would be the foundation and Illustration of such a
soli of plea. Secondly, that he has etecosiaged aud
co./mired at his own disionaunr; and if he bast, there is
no doubt that by the law of this and every civilised
roontry, he is nut a complainant that can enter into a
Court of Justice, if the maxim rutrnti eon fit iesjaria
is to presail. Thirdly, that he has roloueitted acts ey'
sty tetry I point of law, that is a clear mod perfect
6,r. Something has been said, how far this might
to he law : but this is oo.part of my business to A-
quire. lam to inquire what the law is 7. whether the
I Legislature might rercrse the order of 'Mag., is not !
fur me to inquire; but upon my opinion, it is a good
Ignore! gaol doetriot on which I will sot innorate.
It is of more importance to consider what is the law
of this country. which says that adultery of the bus-
, band is a perfect bar to his complaint. It appears to
he the doctrine of the Civil Law, as loath been quoted
' front the Digests: and the spirit of this rule has been
naturally infused into the Canoes Law. It certainly
has nut been observed in France, and Qiiibert so
st Oes it in his work ; hut I conceive there is clear
proof of its heists rerrirrd in England. and I most re.
mire it. In the celebrated case of Lord and Lady
Leicester which went to thePeletrates, adultery in the
ush baud was toraninsously held by all the Delegates to
be a good plea in bar; and they said the doctrine of
coupe:l.4,6ot' wa< to he admitted, and that the Canon
Law had horn received. The law being then clear in
this point. that the plea it' supported in point of esi-
I deuce will be sufficient to bar the demand, I will direct
my attention to the evidence that has been adduced ;
fur if the defence is nut supportable on that ground, it
is out to be supported on the others." Sir IVilliam
Stott after commenting upon the evidence, said "The
question then occnrs, Is strung saspicion of
*wilt selicieset to bar the party of thr remedy of
diruree.' and I am of opinion it is perfectly seeffielect.
For it 1111 l st be remembered it is a plea in bar not in

POLICE.

M•xston-Hotm—Robbery of Coach Offices .—A
boy named Vigo, of about twelve years old, was
charged with having attempted feloniously to steal
from the proprietors of an inn in Lad-lane, a parcel
containing• property, the value of which was not
known.

It n-as stated by the book-kerper and other wit-
nesses, that the pris.mer came to their office on Wed-
nesday evening, With a written order for a parcel,
which had been directed to be left at the office until
tailed for. In the order the description of the parcel
was given, and also the name. In consequence of

some intimation which the proprietors had receit•ed of
great frauds having been committed by persons foil-
ing orders of this description, the prisoner was strictly
questioned as to whom he hail been employed by.
lie readity answered, that a man whom he met in the
street had sent him with the order, and had promised
him sixpenre for going the errand, and said he would
wait fur him at a place close by near Alder.igate. Ag.l
cordisigly one of the %En ants to the office was sent
with the boy to ascertain the truth of his story, and,l
if p4ts,j hk, to take the man who should be waiting
for him into custody. tin arriving at the place speci-
fied do such person as the buy had tlecrilstal was to
be seen, and he was given into the custody of an officer.
'l•he buy, in his defence, related all that he had said
before, in a clear and distinct wanner, and produced
his master, with whom be was ut work, and fur whom
at the time lie met the man he was iroitir an errand,
to chew that be gut his living by honest industry.
The proprietor of the Cross-Keys Inn in Wood-
street, of the Spread Etgle in tiracechurch-street, and
the proprietors of the Bell suit Crown, and several
other Inns, attended, and stated to the Lord Mayer
that they had been recently robbed of property to a
very serious amount by means of forged orders for
parcels, which had been sent with directions to be
left at their office until called for, The method of
obtaining the goods was in 'heir cases just the same

as in the present, by the instrumentality of a bor.
Several of the forged orders 0.-re produced. and titeetif
of them appeared to he of the saute hand-writing al
that presented by the prisoner.
The Loan MAIO.I aiskrtl the coach-proprietors by
what means persons could obtain the knowledge of
such parcels having arrived, or being waiting with the
haloes of the persons from whom they were sent ?
It was replied, that there were always a swarm of
ticket porters waiting for employ on the outside tsi'
the yard, and who, on the arrival of a coach, imutedl-1
away run and surrounded it to catch employment. WWI,
these ticket porters persons of a less responsible cha-,
racier often took the liberty of intrullucing themselves,
and it was daring the unloading of the coach that
such persons had ample opportunities of examining
the tickets of the parcels and making their prey. Ihe
proprietors, as well as the public, were aisesubject to,
numerous other depredations during the hurry and
bustle of sack occasions, and it sometimes happened
that the property was not obtained by any ruund-almot
method, but disappeared on the spot. The proprietors
had sometimes contemplated the exclusion of all per-
sorts but their own immediate servants from their
yards. This would be a very desirable object, as they
had too ninth business to attend to on the arrival of a
coach, to he able to select and exclude those who were,
not ticket porters.
The Lord Mayor doubted whether the ticket portiere
had nut a right to seek employment of the passeugeth
iu the Inn yard. The proprietors certainly had a
right to exclude all other persons who had nu busing*
there, and such exclusion would doubtless tend la
prevent innumerable depredations.
After some further consultation, the prisoner woe
remanded for further examination, in the expectation
that in the meantime the police would be able to secure
the principal.

Several of the busts employed in the Caithness her-
ring fishery, have been reported to he lost In a gale of
wind. From the following extract of a letter, how.
ever, dated the llth instant, the loss, though ger:m.l
is nut so extensive as had been reported While the
boats were about returning to Wick from theitishing,
on the morning of Tuesday lasi, many of them Lasing
greater quantities of fish un board than they in pru-
dence ought to have taken, o little to the northward
of Wick, they were overtaken with a gaie of Wind, in
consequence of which, and the boats bring over-load-
ed,
four of them were swauiped and altogether lost.--
Only five lives were lust, the rest of the crews having
been picked up by other boats, who, nut being so
mach loaded, were enabled to render them some as-
sistance. Four of the men were dtowuetl belonging
to the south-side, sad the other one to Orkney..
A sad necklines occurred a few days since at Bar-
lake Colliery, belonging to Sir Jolla Coxe Hippisley,
Bart. and Messrs. Messiter, of Wincantran, by the burst-
ing of a boiler at one of the steam-engines, when
James Bunn was so dreadfully warded that be sur-
vived only a few hours.--An inquisition wu held by
D. F. Seadding. Esq, the coroner, aud a verdict re-
turned of aeeielooterl death.
