* The prayer for the King's recovery was first 

 used on Saturday last, in Westminster Abbey and 

 St. Margaret's Church being the anniversary of 

 King Charles's Restoration. One might have sup- 

 posed that on such an occasion, when the interven- 

 tion of Divine Providence was to be solemnly in- 

 voked for the recovery of a beneficent but afflicted 

 Monarch, that the attendance would have been 

 numerous and becoming : the fact, however, is, 

 that there were not more than twenty members of 

 the House of Commons present ! ! ! Berkshire

* Mr. R. Gordon said, " In the recent celebrated 

 persecutions of the Press, the costs were greatly in- 

 creased by the fees to more counsel than was neces- 

 sary ; in the case of Alexander, six counsel were 

 employed for the persecution of one unfortunate 

 printer, who defended himself." The Attorney- 

 General said, " the reason for emploving so many 

 counsel was because frequently he and the Solicitor- 

 General were liable to be called away." To which 

 Mr. Gordon answered : " It was quite plain, of 

 course, that the Attorney and Solicitor General 

 could not each be in two places at once but were 

 they to be paid for being so ? Were they to receive 

 fees for being there when it was impossible they 

 could attend?" Mr. Harvey said, " In such cases 

 they were not paid for any thing but for receiving 

 the money !" Sir E. Knatchbull said, " I never 

 before heard of an Attorney-General instituting a 

 public prosecution after a private one had been com- 

 menced !" Sir R. Peel disclaimed having had the 

 slightest share in promoting the recent prosecutions 

 against the Press ! He even declared that the Attor- 

 ney-General had not consulted him before the cri- 

 minal proceedings against the libel on his character 

 had taken place ! ! !
