Mr. B. then referred to the witnesses generally they had never said any thing abi.ut what they had seen until called upon by the Milan commission ! This fact was'powerfully commented on, and learnedly extMwil, The kissinjs, and huggings, and bathings, See. were kept quiet, not mentioned to any one, till the witnesses "passed over to Milan and obtained the reward of perjury." The witness from Trieste was indignantly spoken of by Mr. D. He said that he could contradict him, that he would contradict him, and others, and bring him o punishment, for his falsehoods. After a rapid glance at the testimony gainst the queen and her former persecutions, Mr. 1$. stated several cases in trhioh he was prepared to prove that the witnesses had deposed falsely, others in Which they had contradicted themselves; ftnd proceeded to intimate that he might have rested the queen's case on the ery testimony brought against her: but that -witnesses in her behalf would he called, among them a sister of Demon t, who was yet in the queen's service. He proudly asked why two witnesses had Bot been brought forward to prove anv certain thing which must have been known to many persons, if it had happened? because they would contradict ach other in their cross-examinations. Why was not a second witness brought

to ape-ak of the state of the beds the State of the linen ? at Naples. What bad become of Ann Try son ? Mr. 1$ could tell their lordships she was here. Why was she not called? He would an swer that too.; she was not an Italian! For th- marks, she was the princess' own waiting woman; for the 6ed, she made it ; for the linen, she hail the care of it : he could prove the case if it wa3 capauie or prooi; slie was the only person that could prove it, und yet they had not galled her. She must have proved what Demont had sworn, if what she swore was true!" Mr. Brougham said, "it they believ ed the witnesses, tite case of adultery was as clearly made out as any one that procured a verdict in Westminster Hall. But if they did give a verdict on th testimony of such witnesses, thav would be worse than the Jacobins of Paris for the. murder of Maria Antoinette !" He spoka of Bergami he was a reduced Italian gentleman, and had been promoted in the queen's service gradually ; and concluded his speech in the follow ioz terms ' " My lords, I implore and intrcat of

And the editor of the Baltimore .Vorninz Chronicle fays " One point made by the queen's counsel is very important. Her majesty is described as having displayed such profligacy of manners, that she was deserted by the Italian nobili- - y ... -i ty ! It is asked, why none oi those ulusterous characters were summoned to testify to such facts?

..i-.nu.r tn sneculators. iaui .ut.iui.a 1 . i tuai (c The following simple method of res- . - - .ritprr I cuin drowning pciuu- uum rave is contained in a long article on that subject in a late Liverpool paper, and is deserving of attention. The writer savs: If any one estimate inventions iu mverse ration oi uicir siuipuvikj? n-v will smile to hear that the lite preserver which I have so extolled, is no more than a hat and a pocket handkerchief; so that ever man has, at all times, about ns person an apparatus which may oe :he means of saving the life of his fel-ow-creature. With these simple means any man who can swim may safely venture into the water, with the certaiuty of rescuing a drowning person. All the preparation, which need not occupy ten seconds, is this. Spread the handkerchiel out on the ground, and place the hat up-1 on it in the centre, with the crown upwards, in the ordinary position ut wearing ; then gather up the four corner, oi the handKerchiel over ine cn u. U1c hat, giving it a few twists for the greater convenience of grasping with the hand. The hat must then be inverted, (the crown downwards ) In this position it is conhdently asserted, any person may safely enter the water, as the cavity ol the hat contains a much greater quawutyot airtnan is requisite to susiaui an; aan. I lound that the hat with which I tried the experiment, would almost support me and another person clinging to me, neither of us making the least eilbrt to float by any motion ot the hands or feet, tho mode I should adopt, howev er, in usinjr the lile preserver, would be to give up the handkerchief to the person whose life was iu danger, and immediately to disengage myself from him. He would soon recover ins presence oiminuj but whether he did or not, it would be of little consequence, as long as he retain ed his grasp of the handkierchief Whilst he was thus supported, nothing could be

more easier than to push him to the slio c hls feet by meaiis Qf taklcs, but vas unawith one hand,& swimming with the oth- be to bear his weight, and appears to

er. V large silk handkerchief is the best for the occasion. In one of the new towns in (N. Hamp shire,) the people gave a young clergy man, of small abilities, a call, to settle w ith them as their minister, which he accepted ; a council was sent for to as sist in his ordination when they came to exaruin him his natural abilities were so small, that many of the council were opposed to his ordination ; but after considerable debate, the moderator thus addressed th council. k Gentlemen, this is a new town, and this ircntleicen is voung, and he may grow and tho" his abilities are not great, yet he ma do for tins Stnall town ; and beside this, we must remember that one star di&ers from another in glory " As soon as be had done speaking, one of thc council, q. addressed the moderator, Sir, thoxizh it is true that one star dtiTtrs from ano'.rer in glory yet it-e must mind und not take Uzhteninz buz for stars. SCOTCH AD VENTURES. The character which the Scotch have acquired, beyond almost any other peo ple, tor the art of pushing their tortunes abroad, was never perhaps more singuarly illustrated than by the following anecdote which Dr. Anderson relates in his Bee," on the authority of a baronet of scientific eminence. The Russians and Turks, in thc war of 1759, having diverted themselves cnough in the contest, agreed to treat for peace. The commissioners for thc tarose were marshal general Keith, on the part of Russia, and the Grand Vizier on the part of the Turks. These per sonages met, and carried on their negociationsby means of interpreters. When ill was concluded, they rose to separate. 1 he marsnal made his bow with his hat in his hand, and the vizier his salam with his turban on his head. But when these ceremonies of taking leave were ocr, the vizier turned suddenly, and condns -A !-. I . .. up io marsnai veuii, took mm cordially by the hand, and in the broadest Scotch dialect, declared warmly that it made him unco happy to meet with a countryman in his exalted station." Keith startled with astonishment, eager for an explanation of the mystery, when vizier added, danna be surprized, mon, I'm the same country wp yourself,! minu weei seeing you and jour brother, wpen ooys, passing by the school at Kirkaldy my father, sir, was bellman of Kirkaldy." -What more extraordinary can be imagined, than to btdiold in the plenipotentiaries of two mighty nations, two foreign adventurers, natives of the same mountainous territory nay, of the very same village ! What indeed more extraordinary, unless it be the spectacle of a Scotchman turned Turk for the sake ot honors, held on the tenure of a caprice, from which even Scotch prudence can be no guarantee !
