felt, at be4ng so completely exculpated from from all

I trust that this circumstance will prove to the
reader the danger and the injustice of condemning
any parson upon mere circumstantial evidence. How
cautious ought jurors upon their oaths to be, not to
find men guilty upon mere circumstances ; and, par-
ticularly, when their verdict may give the party over,
bound hand and foot, and place his life or his liberty
at the disposal of corrupt, wicked, cruel, and vindictive

THE QUEEN.

Messrs. Brougham and Denman had an interview
with her Majesty at Brandenburgh House, on Thursday
strewing, soon after her return from her aquatic ex-
cursion.

Mr. Alderman Wood reached the Queen's town re-
sidence soon after ten yesterday meriting, when it was
announced that her Majesty might be expected at half-
past eleven.
At the appointed time her Majesty arrived, attended
by Lady Hamilton, and almost immediately proceeded
to the House of Lords ; where she had another con-
ference with her Counsel.

After remaining about half an hour in her retiring
room in the House of Lords, her Majesty having ap-
pointed to receive several Addresses at Brandenburgh
House, set out on her return thither immediately.
In order to prevent a recurrence of those outrages
committed by the crowd when the St. Mary-le-Bone
Address was presented, the Magistrates at Bow-street
sent down a strong parts• of officers under the direction
of Perry. the conductor of patrols; and in consequence
every thing passed off with the utmost order and re-
gularity.
Sir Hobert Wilson and Mr. Hobhouse first arrived
with an Address from a number of inhabitant house-
holders of the town of Derby. Mr. Hobhouse was in
full Court dress, and Sir Hobert wore a full dress
Major-Generals uniform with the insignia of his dif-
ferent orders of Knighthood.
At half-past ore o'clock the deputation with the
Address from the parish of Whitechapel entered the
grounds in twenty-one open carriages, drawn by four
j horses each : and they were almost immediately ful-
-1 lowed by the Ahlersgate Ward Addresses, in thirty-
sist carriages, headed by Mr. Alderman Cox, in his
scarlet gown the ward officers •with their maces, Ice.
As tlte company alighted they were shown into the
drawing-routn to wait the return of her Majesty from
town.

At a quarter past two her Majesty arrived. She
was receited with acclamations by a crowd of respect-
ably dressed persons who had assembled in Lout of
the house and on the lawn.
Her Majesty retired for about ten minntes ; and
then, after giving audience to Sir Robert Wilson and
Mr. clubhouse, she took her station at the upper end
of the marble gallery, attended by those gentlemen,
Mr. Alderman Wood, M. Schiavani, Colonel Oliviera,
Lady Anne Hamilton, and several othe.4lies, and
the Whiteehapel deputation, was admitted.
The address was presented and read by Mr. William-
son, the chairman of the meeting, and her Majesty
returned a most gracious answer. The deputation had
afterwards the honour of kissing hands.
The Aldersgate Ward deputation was nest admitted,
`when Mr. Alderman Cox presented the address, which
! was read by Mr. Corbould, the mover of it. Her Ma-
jesty replied very graciously, and this deputation also
kissed hands.
We understand, that in the course of the day Lord
Duncannon presented an address to her Majesty front
the females of Shetlield, with 10,600 signatures; and
that Mr. Alderman Wood presented two, one signed,
as we are informed, by 300 individuals belonging to
the Leicester militia, and the other from the females of
Halifax. The address from the male inhabitants has
been presented to Sir Francis Burdett.

The following is her Majesty's gracious Answer
to the Address from the inhabitants of li'hitechapel :
" I am happy to find that my many sufferings and my
accumulated wrongs have so powerfully interested the
sympathies of the inhabitants of St. Mary's, White-
Aapel.
" The conspiracy which I am combating, though no-
minally directed against myself. is in fact, a conspiracy
against British liberty. NI, measure since the Rev°ln-
' tion has portended such disastrous consequences as the
present Bill of Pains and Penalties. While it threatens
freedom under all its diversified aspects, and with all
its general rights, and all its particular securities, it at
the same time darkens the perspective of the future,
with a lowering appearance of civil war. It exhibits a
cloud on the edge of the political horizon that may burst
in misery on every family an the country.
" This Bill of Paitis and Penalties may thus be the
harbinger of woe to every man's hearth. It may em-
bitter the days of thousands and tens of thousands both
rich and poor, and produce irremediable regrets.
" After the noble stand which so many, of the most
estimable among the Peers have made against this pes-
tiferous bill, and the total want of any evidence to jus-
tify its enactment, it cannot be expected that it will
pass; but if it should pass, we must never lose sight of
the probability that his Majesty may marry again. The
issue of that marriage would in ill likelihood cause a
• contested succession. That part of the nation which
will not allow the Bill of Pains and Penalties to be a
constitutional act may not readily submit to the off-
spring of a marriage which will never generally be
deemed legitimate.
" If my marriage be annulled, it must be annulled in
defiance of all law. The Queen, therefore, who suc-
ceeded me would only be nominally Queen, for no law-
ful right can be conveyed by an illegal act, and in the
opinion of the great majority of the nation, nothing
Can stamp this -Bill of Pains and Penalties with any
legal characteristic. It will never he regarded as any
thing more than an act of pure tyranny, and as such it
will excite the hatred of the present age, and experience
the execration of posterity.'

The weather has continued fair and brilliant since
Monday se'nnigbt, and much warmer since the present
month commenced than during the concluding days of
the last. During those days the mercury in the thee-
ammeter at I o'clock never rose shove 64 ; but for
more than a week past it bas on an average exceeded
65. At the beginning of the eclipse on Thursday it
stood in one thermometer, in ('ornhill, at 69j, in another
at 6t, and in both sunk at the time of the greatest ob-
scuration to 64. At the Royal Observatory at Green-
wirb, it fell only three degrees, and by a letter we have
seen from the Rer. Dr. E. D. Clarke, the celebrated tea-
seller,. at Cambridge, the same fall WM observed there.
The birds there all went to roost. The gloom was not
so great as many expected, not greater than the twilight
that day, five minutes after sun-set ; yet Venus was vi-
sible in London ; and at Brighton, not only was that
planet observable to the naked eye, hut Mercury and
Mars to those u who had suitable glasses. At Nor-
wich the Thermometer at the commencement of the

Eclipse stood at 631 and at five seconds, after the
greatest obscuration 6lt, exhibiting a difference of only
two degrees. In the F.clipse of 1745, when the °bull-
ration was only 94 disits, or about two less than that of
Thursday, M. Cassini de Thury, who went with the
King of France to Compeigne to view it, says, that at
the middle of the Eclipse the Thermometer fell 24 degrees.
At Norwich, substances which were set on fire previ-
ously to the Eclipse in about a quarter of a minute, were
unaffected during the greatest obscuration, nor could
the Thermometer he raised by the focus of a burning
glass thrown upon it. In every quarter from which we
have heard, the atmosphere was highly propitious to
observers. In London the light fleecy clouds that occa-
sionally passed over the sun did not obstruct the view of
it, and with the exception of a very few minates, the
progress of the Eclipse was visible from the beginning
to the end.
From all patty of the country we learn that the wea-
ther has for the last ten days been exceedingly farour-
able to the harvest. A few days previous, on the 25th
ult. a storm of the most vivid lightning, and the loudest
thunder ever witnessed in that neighbourhood, took
place at Port Monteith, to the north-west of Illasgow,
It happened between ten and eleven o'clock at night,
and was areouipanieil by a slight earthquake, which was
felt by those inhabitants who were in bed. A person
travelling on the road was knocked off his horse by an
explosion; but was only injured slightly by the fall.
On recovering from the shock, lie found Isis horse stand-
ing in a tremour at about ten yards distant front him.
The man had seen himself and his horse encompassed
by a pale blue flame, ascending his breast with a ruffling
noise, and a strong smell of sulphur.
The following, are as usual, the observations made
during the week by our correspondent in Lie Strand.
