The House Of Lords yesterday refused
Mr.. Brougham's request that he might be
permitted TO open bis case for the defence,
and subsequently, postpone the hearing of
evidence Tor some time, TO be determined
by their Lordships, aud also his further
request that be might be allowed to COM
Inent upon the evidence produced for the
prosecution, without touching upon that
which be might hereafter find it necessa-
ny to bring forward. The learned Gen
tleman this morning appraised the house
that he should be ready TO comfneuC5 MS
case for the defence in three weeks, and
desired an adjournment ofthe proceedings
for that length Of time. This application
has been made 10 The hope Of obviatipg, as
much as possible, the evil consequences
TO the Queen which might be expected to
arise from the case for the prosecution
dwelling upon the public mind for a con-
siderable time without 40 answer or COM
mept; but il is impossible TO believe that
her Majesty can be fully prepared within
three weeks for undertaking her defence
with the same effect that she might hope
for, had a longer time been taken by her
counsel, but she is placed 10 the sad al.
tentative Of either prematurely nnieua-
king her defence without sufficient means,
or of submitting to the dreadful evil OF
suffering the publici mind 10 receive an
impression injurious 10 her fame, which
future triumph in the House of Lords
might not be able effectnaliy to remove.
AT. the desire Of Mr.. Bronshant the
House adjourned until Tuesday, the Sd
of October.

From the New-York Evening Post, Oct %.
Foreign News.--B BY the ship Anu Ma,
ria, Capt Waite, 10 the very short pas
sage Of % days from Liverpool, we have
received from our correspondents file Of
the London Courier 10 the evening Of the
Goth Of September, and Liverpool paper
of the 28th of the same month. :. The
House of Commons met according to ad
iournment Oh Monday the 18th inst. and
the proceedings against the Queen gave
rise to another animated debate, ii tina.
can be called debate where the speakers
are nearly all on one side. The motion
Of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for
the appointment of o select committee to
search the Journals of the Lords, 10 as
certain the state of the bill for degrading
and diyorcing the Queen, was met by an
amendment moved by Mr.. Hobhouse, and
seconded by Mr.. Bennett, TO the effect,
that an address should be presented TO his
Majesty praying him 10 prorogue Parlia-

senate and nation from the embarrassing
situation iD which they were placed by
this measure. All the speakers for the
amendment assumed confident tone.
They represented her Majesty as much

with great confidence, that the evidence
produced against her was the effect OF a
deep laid aud proiligate conspiracy. The
impolcy Of Introducing the subject to the
consideration OF Parliament was insisted
upon in strong language, and the quaint
but important Inquiry of cui bono was
pressed upon Ministers with degree OF
zeal and energy that has scarcely ever
been exceeded. The King. the Queen,
and the country, il was held, were all
scaudalized by this proceeding, The
Kings wife was DETAINED, the most valda-
BILE part OF his own character was brought
into public discussion, and the monarchy
itself suffered degradation. To increase
the evil, 40 idea had been preached by
