'rHE QUEEN.
11001 E OF I.olWll.—Tass MORNING.

Previously to the calling over the Peers, the officers
of the !louse cleared the inner Bar of strangers, from
which circumstance it appeared that the Conned were
about to appear at the Bar, when the Peer 3 had been
called surer.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE rose and said, that he
was not aware of any order for the attendance of
Counsel, and he observed that the Bar had hero cleared
apparently for that purpose, he wished to know the
reason of it.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he knew not
whether the question of the Noble Earl might he con-
sidered as addressed to him, hut, he could only sae,
that he knew nothing at all about the matter.—
(A laugh.)---The better way would be to send for the
officers of the House.

Mr. (Fiume was aceordinely sent for, and, having
appeared at the Bar, he was asked hr the laird titan.
tenor whether he could inform the (louse by is hose
orders the Bar, had been cleared. Mr. Quarme said,
in answer, he could not, for he had found it in that
state on his first coming down to the !Jonie this own-
ing.—(.\nother laugh.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR.—" Then send for the
Usher of the Black Rod.- lie was accordingly scat

The Earl of LAI' DERDA LE suggested that it would
be better not to suspend the business of the [louse
until the arrival of the Usher of Ow Black nod.—

take care that nothing of this kind should he repeated
without the order of the House.
At this moment Sir Thomas Tyrwbitt. the Usher
of the Black Rod, appeased at the liar. If
The 1.01(1) CHANCELLOR then put the question
to him, which had been put before to Mr. Qm.rme.
Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt said, that the clearing of
the liar had taken place in consequence of a no-
tification front the Clerk of the Attornev-Beneral ;
that the Learned Attorney was coming down this
mornim; to the house.—(llear. hear, hear!)
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, this matter might
as well drop here : with an intimation that the officers
of the house would distinctly understand that they
were nut to attend to the direction or suggc.tioo of
any Jerson, but were only to obey the urdecs of the
house. •
Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt bowed and retired ; and this
iwp....irrof question was then disposed of.

►ROTF'T.

" The Queen has learnt the decision of the Lords
upon the Bill now before them. In the face of Par-
liament, of her family, and of her country, she does
solemnly protest against it. Those who avowed
themselves her prosecutors have presumed to sit in
judgment upon the question between the Queen and
themselves. Peers have given their voices against
her, who had heard the whole evidence/or the charge,
and abseutrd themselves during her dcfrrety. Others
have come to the discussion from the Secret Committee
with minds biassed by a mass of slander, which her
enemies have not dared to bring forward in the light.
" The Queen does not avail herself of her right to
appear helot.? the committee; fur to her the details
of the measure must be a matter of indifference; and,
unless the course of these unexaMpled rroceedings
should bring the bill before the other branch of the
legislature, she will male no reference whatever
to the treatment experienced by her during the last
25 years.
" She now most deliberately, and before Dori, as-
serts, that she is wholly innocent of the crime laid to
her charge; and she awaits, with unabated confidence,
the anal result of this unparalleled investigation,"
The LORD CHANCELLOR then rose. Undoubtedly
he said, after the second reading of the Bill, Owl

person who was the object of that prosecution bad,
a right to he heard at the Bar. But their Lose
ships should consider, whether they would retell*
that in the shape of an address, as in the case air
Atterleery and others. For strictly speaking, it could.
not be received as a protest.
Lord DAUREsaid. he was aware of the rule :shill
down by their Lordships, but he thought that Al
House, considering the rank and situation of that ill,
lestrious individual should not confine themselves to
these rules. However, if the Hoese thought other,
wise, be felt himself authorised to present It in the
shape of an address.
Lord LIVERPOOL said, if that was the least incon-
venient manner for addressing the House. be had no
objection it should be received as an address. But
he thought an entry should be made on the journals,
to prevent its being banded down as a precedent.
he CHANCELLOR hoped, the House would do
hint the credit to 'believe, that he did nut rise for the
purpose of opposing that address, bat for the pages/
of ,stating the rules totheir Lordships. Ou the sub-
ject 'matter of that address, he would make but one oh-
soma**, and That was, that he did not boo* by,
what role any penal at the Bar, conk' make any
;penitent on the eroded, wither of the decision, or
eft any iodividual Peer.
