should receive it first. He Implored them to dismiss
from their minds until that time, all inch suspicion. He
knew it was possible that the evidence plight have been
so got up; but did their Lordships thihk it very likely
that the Queen in the month .or . Kara, 1818, two years
before she had been put upon het trial—at a time when
there was no chance of such i tidal liking place, before
the Milan Commission was sent out—that she had been
so provident, so astute, to defedd herself against charges
She could not know would ever by made? That being in
1818, was she to foresee what the wisest men could not.
—and the more wise, the less likely,—was she to be
searching the records of Parliament, for Bills of Pains
and Penalties, and studying the Cases of Bennet, and
Bishop Atterbury /—Wu she to go to Zang*, and get
him to make the offers to the witness; in order to bring
that forward in her defence at this period P-11 se. she
was something more than be ever before heard of, for
s ie would have been thus making a defence against no
.arge ; and in order to have something to set up in de-
tepee, she must have first got somebody to have institu-
ted the charge. He would hot deny the legal possibility
of all this, because lawyers admitted the indst remote
possibilities. But he thought their Lordships were not
likely to be staggered by it. But it was time for their
Lordships to take this into consideration when the evi-
dence had been received, then they would be in a con-
dition so to do, and he trusted that would be the course
they would panne; and not reject it upon the remote,
possibility which now existed. He was not potting Col.

was not taking the fraction of a fraction of a step. to bring

PRESENTATION of ADDRESSES to the Q UR E.•

Her Majesty having appointed yesterday for her le-
eeption of a number of public addresses, tliere was
the usual display of popular effervescence throughout
a great part of the metropolis, and on all the roads
leading to Hammersmith. Ihe weather, considering
the seaso■ of the year, was singularly favourable for
the occasion, except for a few minutes when a shower
fell while some of the open carriages were waiting in
the avenue to set down. The following is a brief ac•
count of the processions in the order of their arrival at
Brandenburgh Hone.
WiTsar, throe DISKIRC.—A deputation of nine gen-
tleman in two carriages. The Address signed by
1406 persons (nearly the whole population of the
place) ; presented and read by Mr. K. Taylor.
PAIPLIST, SCOTLAND.—Major Cartwright, Major
Williams, Dr. Gilchrist, and Mr. Motor, in a barouche
drawn by six greys, followed by another broaches' d
four n the driving-box of the first a person bearing
a lay white silk banner—device, " Caledonia," seated
by an urn, on the pedestal of which WAS inscribed
" Scotia, tb. land of Wallace, Bruce, and Knox ;" and
underneath on a scroll, the national motto " Ness
impute laces:it." Major Cartwright, who wore the
uniform of the Leicestershire Militia presented and
read this Address.

The Arroanav-fiawanst. replied, and stated; that
Mr. Brougham bad abandoned the legal argument
whi h Mr. Williams had taken up, and argued
the viestion upon principles contrary to all law.-
-(Here the Learned tientletnan assumed a tone of ex-
treme animation.)—His Learned Friend, at one time,
found it convenient to sav, that they did attack and
charge the Milan Commission with being conspirators.
and at another they disclaimed any such intention. But
the fact was, they were attempting to direct their Lord-
ships' attention altogether away from the defence of the
Queen, b raying up a case of conspiracy. His Learned
Friend, Mr. William., said that lie (the Attorney tieneral)
had told him that lie should call Zanga. He said no
such thing, it was competent to them to call Zeno.
But he contended that before his Learned Friends mild
be allowed to give the evidence of Zanga as to the
Milan Commission, they must first prove the agency oft,
the witness; and when thoy were told that agency was
proved from the facts of the evidence, he denied the
truth of the assertion. First, the Milan Commission
had agents, and were themselves agents, and at ape**
time they were not; so that the Counsel for the detain
assumed and denied just as it might snit their mime".
There was no evidence, lie contended, to shew that elms
was a conspiracy—none to shew that there were town*
rotors; and he objected to any such evidence as that
proffered being received, considering the matter as
their Lordship., in their judisial characters. they
ought to refuse to hear the evidence tendered. It
would, under terry point of view be unjust. after
having restricted the Counsel fur the Bill to keep
within the most rigid exactions of the leetal practice,
now in the middle of the defence, to depart from that,
course, and forsooth, fur the reason that his Loomed
Friend said, they had got evidence which they were
desirous of giving. Whether in their judicial or le-
Tietnelve drummer, baring *Mom, sontortive Casimir
rules, their Lordships could not. without manifest in-
justice accede to the proposal of his Learned Friends.
The Learned Gintletoaa appeared to labour under
great exhaustion, from Vie unusual animation with
which he delivered the above harangu
Lord Dorsoutitimons submitted to the House that the
question proposed could not be put. The Learned Caus-
er), for the last two days, had alleged conspiracy; bat it
did not follow, that because they thought proper to tell
the House that they charged conspiracy, that nothing
else was talked of out of door., that therefore nothiag
else should be discussed within doors. If they admitted
this evidence. they must admit the evidence of every
man a heresoei er he came, and whatsoever he had to say.
who told them that he believed, or had bees told that
three was a ronspirasy against the Queen.
Lord Easatoe said a few words, we could set distinctly
hear.
The Loan COANCr.LLOO said, that It appeared to hien. flhe'
testimony now offered, was perfectly novel la the adashilse
tration of justice, whether they viewed this as a judicial or
a legislative preceeding. He implored their Lordships to
consider this question on both side,. It was this considera-
tion that made him lament, that if this be a judicial pro-
ceeding. it is conducted by say thin; bet judicial rates.—
Their Lordships were to regulate their opinions by great
general principles. And he begged of their Lordships
IS allow him to assure them, with the greatest possible
dewily, that in the supposition he was new going to
make. that he did not mean to say there was one word
et truth.
In the opening of this case, It was strongly intimated,
that the illustrious person that is now accused. had

purpose of carrying on the practices that have been
alledged. Lord Llandaff and several others have bees
'semiarid on the part for her Majesty. and they have
stated the moos, of quitting her service ow very
different grounds, quite unconnected with any intention
of her Majesty. And that it was stated that Jimmied
mentioned that was the cause of their leavi her ser-
vice, what would their Lordships say, if evidence was
oared to prove this conversation ? This, he musetiived,
was a similar case, and he implored their Lordships so

Nations would bemuse Friendly Societies. The wan
aspect of hildeliell Misery would them disappear, awl

would be seta no more.
" I am convinced that the Government; as far as its
measures are directed to the public g ad, has no firm• r
friends than the Members of the dmorent Friendly So-
cieties. They consist principally wf the most virtuous,
and frugal part of the industrious Societies : and while
they eintritulte a large quote to the pn!bc hurthens,
their exemplary parsimony prevents them from being
a burthen to others. or Pensioners on the Parochial
Funds."

" 1 11111 exceedinly gratified at receiving this loyal
add affectioaate Address from the inliabi•a as of the an-
trot city of Oxford.
" f am happy to find that those notions of a servile
ohseininissoess to power, without any regard to its con-
stitutional character, or to its practical usernlness,
which were formerly prevalent in the University, ham-
not fixed their residence in the town; or at least have
left no impression on the enlightened minds of a large
body of WO elevens. Tv thfecate mew 4. the her of
servitude, or with fixed antipathy to liberty,,—to bring
them up in the belief that any thing like divine right
belongs to the exercise of an arbitrary domination, is
to debase an intellectual being, whose destiny is the
heavens, beneath the most humble reptile that drags
his slimy length over the earth. But am arreeahly
convinced that the light of better plinciples has long
since made its way into our ancient academical insti-
tutions.

" My persecutors are well known to be the penple's
furs; awl those who are labouring to deprive me of
my rights. are not supposed to he friends to liberty in
ally farm, or in any country under heaven."

TO THE EDITOR OF THIS STATESMAN.

Sin,—Having observed in a certain morning paper,
a few days since; an erroneous paragraph, stating,
" that the ancient Society of Masons never interfere
with Polities, Religion or State Affain," I there- •
fore now wish to convince the Editor of the reverse,
through the medium of your independent paper.
It will be recollected, in February and March last,
after his Majesty's Proclamation, the different Ma ;oak
Societies in Scotland and in the West of Engisid, anti
even from Ireland, went up with Addresses of sow
dolence and congratalation.
If this is admitted as not interfering with politics,
is it n.,t therefore reasonable to suppose tl a. they
ought to pay the same respect to that mac:a-injaiel and
persecuted female, her Majesty?
Rants on speaks liar itself, that this highly respected
Society, as well as all other Societies, ought to corn,
forward with an Address of condolence to her Majesty
for the loss of her much-beloved and lamented
daughter ; and, also, for the severe loss of her lost,
best friend, the late venerable Monarch ; aad to eon-
gratelate her Majesty on her return to this gantry,

It is will knows te all Mason. that there it, tad
always hp been, a prevalent idea that the Masans ars
inimical to the female part of the coesinneity. Now,
if they do objeet to address this much injured and per.
oersted Mathieu female, it certainly will tend to con-
firm that idea; sod this will certainly injure time' is
the ealignatioe of the public, by tarnishing that ben.
