Extract of a letter from Calais, August 19 :—A
most dreadful fire broke out here last evening, at half-
past seven o'clock, at the Entsepoe. (Custom-house
warehouse for bonded goods). The large warehouse,
the stables of the Pert aux Cletrimr, and a small
house adjoining were totally consumed. What made
it more alarming was, it began in the warehouse
where there was an immense quantity of liquors of

ezery description, which wade the blaze wore terrific ;
a great part of thew were destroyed. NIL flies were
lost, but several accidents took place.

The examination of witnesses against the QUEIN
commented yesterday, as we announced, and the evi-
dence of one, on whom it is supposed the greatest
stress is laid, was adduced at considerable length.
This man, it seems, had been one of her MaJr.siv's
domestics ; and, as we are informed by an authorised
communication, which our I,lders ill perceive in
another part of our columns. had been an object of her
particular bounty. On this account, it would appear.,
and not from being taken by surprise, her MAJzsyr's'
feelings were strongly affected by his presence.
The composure of the witness, however, was nor
at all disturbed by the effect; and he proceeded
to give out his communications, as they were
called for by the questions of the Vounsel. with
remarkable readiness and precision. Ile and Ilsa;,
cIAMI had been old acquaintance; and with what-
ever envy he may have viewed the preferment et
his associate, or whatever virtuous indignation hi
may have felt against the conduct he describe.,
his prudence would nut suffer Isis feelings to interior
with his purpose till he had availed himself of all the
opportunities his situation afforded. No wonder thM
he manifested such firmness on his examination
terday, or that he could relate his narratives so trel
who had had such length of time for preparida*i
But yesterday he had Ow matter all Isis own
and so he may have to day. The slay of scrutiny I
not yet come. One story may he good till soother Iff
told ; and, however roundly and strongly it way amain'
to be made out, let it not be forgotten from what solreeh
comes; and let the judgment be suspended till a proper
estimate of the testimony can be formed. If
teell-
mont be true, it cannot fail to he confirmed; for, accord.'
ing to the account we hare, no attempt was made at con-
cealment. On the contrary, it would seem, that itio-
serration was courted ; and after this, for her IlArscre
to have come to this country, and to have challenged
and defied her adv e ies to adduce any proof agates,
her, is a conduct the most unaccountable that ran pos-
sibly be conceived !
Along with this, and of a similar kind, is a remark
that must be made by every mind, on the publicity
given to the charge and evidence against the Wien'.
In all state trials of late, proceedings that could have
done ne possible harm if known, were studiously son-
eseled, and penalties of great severity denounced ea
those who should presume to give them pubileades.
But in this case, of which the details have lagrasily
the most peraicious tendency, the greatest facilities are
afforded for the spread of its iampressiose. The Interests
of public purity and delicacy, of which so much le
said when it is expedient to make professiess, are
sacrificed for the purpose of promoting some higher
aim. What higher object can the guardians
of our moral and political welfare hare peal*

THE QUEEN.
STATKIMAK•OItiCK, mom r. TWO O'CLOCK.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
At 10 minutes after Ten o'clock Counsel and wit-
seise* wen called to the Bar.
The witness, Majoeci, was again examined. He
said be west to Carliaise with her Royal Highness.
Se also went to Augusts, Vienna, and Trieste. At all
these places the rooms of her Royal Highness the
Princess and Bergami were generally contiguous.
The Islamise being ordered to explain the distance,
the interpreter stated, that it might be considered
near, or tar. Their Lordships might pat either sense
upon the witnesses statement. After this extraordinary
explanation, Mr. Brougham suggested the propriety
of having an accurate translation of the answer. The
question was then repeated, and the answer was, that
Bergand's room in general was rather near, than far
fnisa the room of the Princess. Their rooms were
generally separated from those of the Household, and
AO were generally selected by the Princess and
Sequel. The courier, Bergami, travelled in the
sane carriage with the Princess. It was his
business to put things into the carriage. On
one occasion the witness (mind a bottle which Bet,
gami used for private purposes. The witness remem-
bered being at a convent of Benedictines at St. Elio,
and on that occasion he saw the Princess breakfast
there, with Bergami. The witness quitted her ser-
vice at Pesaro.
The Queen entered the House soon after eleven, and
was conducted to her seat, the Peers rising as usual.
The guards in Palace-yard presented arms, and the
populace in the streets greeted her Majesty with the
enthusiastic Aurnis they hare been accustomed to ex-
press. Her Majesty returned those liberal marks of
respect, which, at this moment, can only come from
liberal minds, with her usual urbanity,

The wetness of the morning did not prevent per-
sons from collecting yesterday, in considerable alien-
hers, In front of the Qneen•-, residence in St. James's-
square, mid also in the vicinity of the House of herds.
Her Majesty, however, did not go to the House until
a few minutes after twelve.
As erroneous opinion is gone abroad, that het Ma-
jesty did not expect that Theodore Ilajocci would give
evidence against her. On the contrary, the Queen
knew that he was one of the original promoters of
the plot. On his coming into the House of Lords,
she naturally caressed her indignation at the sight
of a man to whom she had been so liberal and hied.
The following la her Majesty's gracious Answer to
the Addresses of Castle Doningtou
" I am truly obliged to the ishabitants of Castle
Dumbness for this Mad testimony of their regard. It
Is gratifying to me to know that my many sufferings
form the sohject of animated converse by their domestic
hearths, and in their sequestered fields. lam %wy to
leers that in Ibis, ana la almost every village in these
reabal; there Is hardly a man, who has not horsed de-
fiance at the oppressor, when he reed the narrative of
say Wroort—liartily a woman who has not shed a tear
at the rev ital of my woes, and hardly a child that has
not learned to lisp my Koval name.
Masy.as have been the piercing agonies which snob
a long series of persecutions bas ceased in my soul, still,
I would rather have sustained all the misery I have felt,
than have lost those inviring testimonies of a Nation's
love. which it has causritme to experience. The affection
of the people has snore than compensated all that I have
endured.
d Adversity, which is bitter to the taste, but sweet hi
the use, has contributed to teach me name wholesome
truths, which I might otherwise *ever have known ; and
above all, it has made me feel, what Kings and Queens
seldom discern, that that bliss, which is the most pure,
and that virtue which is jive least corruptible, are to be
found In mediocrity of ircomstaaces."
