The following is a copy of the address' to her Ma jesty from the Legislative Assembly of Canada, respect ing the admission of foreign corn into the British mar kets, which was so frequently alluded to in the last de batQ upon the subject : " To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. Most Gracious Sovereign, We, your Majesty's dutif — ul . and loyal subjects, the Commons of Canada in Parliament assembled, respect fully beg leave to address your Majesty on a subject of the highest importance to the inhabitants of this province. " We assure your Majesty, that while we have seen with unmingled satisfaction the happiness and prospe rity of the people of this colony advancing in steady and successful progression under that moderate system of protection of her staple productions, grain and tim ber, which your Majesty and your Imperial Parliament have hitherto graciously secured to them, we feel that we should be wanting in our duty, as well to your Ma jesty as to our constituents, did .we fail earnestly to represent to your Majesty that we view with serious apprehension and alarm, as detrimental to the best in terests of this colony, the adoption of the proposed prin ciple of commercial intercourse now under the consider ation of the Imperial Parliament. • " We cannot but fear that the abandonment of this protective principle, the very basis of the colonial com mercial system, is not only calculated materially to re tard the agricultural improvement of the country, and check its hitherto rising prosperity, but seriously to im pair our ability to purchase the. manufactured goods of Great Britain ; a result alike prejudicial to this colony and the parent state. " We feel truly grateful to your Majesty for enabling us, by guaranteeing the payment of 1,500,0001, to un dertake many valuable public improvements, which are now approaching to completion, and which under the existing laws would ultimately prove productive. But should the duties on foreign and colonial produce enter ing the United Kingdom be assimilated, as at present proposed by your 111,4esty'a -•lmperial Government, it is much to be apprehended that the agriculturists of this province will be th prived of a fair and remunerative price for their surplus produce ; and that, consequently, the increase of our staple products, which was reason ably anticipated, was checked to such an extent as mate rially to lessen the prospect of our canals and other public works proving as productive as we had reason to expect. A We respectfully represent to your Majesty that, situated as Canada is, and with a climate so severe as to leave barely one-half of the year open for intercourse by the St. Lawrence with the mother country, the cost of transporting her products to market is much greater than is paid by the inhabitants of the United States ; and that without a measure of protection, or some equi valent advantage, we cannot successfully compete with that country. "It therefore becomes our duty, as faithful subjects of your Majesty, to point out what we sincerely believe must be the result of measures which have for their ob jectcltn a t i h i e an re E p exaplo Export tr t a n d e e laws Fi r s a t , irtdi will p d r i o s e t e o c u t r i o a n g e t t o h the e a v tending t en p t res t e h n e their t e i o n fig uaxged oper o a i f t n i o n a r s g e s r ; c e u e s l t e t a c u b o r i n a e l d e u , m r s i i u g t pi r t a s n w f t m f r p e o r x m e s the mother country, who have for many years past settled in large numbers on the waste lands of the province, and who, by their industry and capital, have materially contributed to that rapid advancement of the country which we have before noticed ; and, lastly, it is much to be feared that, should the inhabitants of Canada, from the withdrawal of all protection to their staple products, find that they cannot successfully com pete with their neighbours of the United States in the only market open to them, they will naturally and of necessity begin to doubt whether remaining a portion of the British empire will be of that paramount advantage which they have hitherto found it to be. These, we humbly submit, are considerations of grave importance both to your Majesty and the people of this province ; and we trust we need not assure your Majesty that any changes which w ou ld tend i n the remotes t degree to weaken the tins that have for so many years, and under trying circumstances, bound the people of Canada to that land which they are proud to call their mother country, would be viewed as the greatest misfortune which could befal them. " We would further remind your Majesty that while, in compliance with the recommendation of the Imperial Government, we have passed a law repealing all duty on American produce coming through our country for ex portation, no similar advantage is accorded by the Ame rican Government to the people of this province, but that duties, amounting in most cases to prohibition, are rigorously maintained by that Government on every ar ticle of ours entering within their ports. The disadvan tage we must labour under in this respect is so apparent, that we respectfully request your Majesty will be pleased to cause the necessary steps to be taken for opening a negotiation with the Government of the United States for the admission of our produce into their ports, on the same terms that theirs are admitted into those of Great Britain and this colony. "We also humbly request that your Majesty will favourably consider the justice of admitting the products of this province generally into the imperial ports free of transportion is in itself all the protection duty, a s tl w e ourhexicphense of • fellow-subjects in the united king dom can roasonably expect as respects the imports from a colony situated at such a distance from the mother country, and with p orts er closed to eh commerce tem ore for oo o s fi o d l e a o r t g i y e a portion of the ?•a . your Majesty's justice upon this point as the seek in this particular is in strict acco r d ance wraePilPtiheefat we to thevery principles upon which the charges that we deprecate are based, as well as through the assurance received through your Majesty's Secretary of State, that it is the desire of your Majesty's Government that the trade of Canada should in all respects approach as nearly to perfect freedom as the wishes of the inhabitants and the exigencies of the public revenue may permit. " While the subject that we have thus brought under the notice of your Majesty embraces other points re quiring the gravest deliberation, and calling for the most favourable consideration on the part of the imperial au thorities, your Majesty's faithful Commons have felt it to be their duty to your Majesty, to the Imperial Par liament and the mother country, and to their own con stituents, to lose no time in at cute approaching your Majesty with the declaration of their views upon that part of it embraced in their present address, and to which, renewing their assurance of devoted attachment to your Majesty's person and Government, they ear nestly entreat your Majesty's most gracious and favour able consideration, Attestea, " W BLINDSAY, Assembly, 12,A Assembly. " Legislative The following is Mr. Gladstone's repl • • 4, "Downing -st ree t, J une 3. My have to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's dispatch, No. 54, of the 13th of May, transmitting to me, for presentation to her Majesty, an address which has been voted by her Majesty's loyal subjects the Commons of Canada. In this address it is set forth that the Assembly of Canada regard the adop tion of the principle of commercial intercourse now under the consideration of the Imperial Parliament with serious apprehension and alarm, and various grounds are stated for entertaining such impressions. tier Ma jesty has been pleased to receive this address with the fullest confidence in the loyalty and intelligence of her faithful Commons of Canada ; but it is with sincere con -cern that her Majesty has learned the existence, in such a quarter, of anticipations of such a character. " I have it in command from her Majesty to address / 111 711 - .07 . 7 •41s. K E 7 JUNE 11, 1846. to your Lordship the followi ng observations in regard to the matter of th e address, which have been submitted by her Majesty's advisers for her gracious approval; and to which she ha: been pleased to give her sanction. " Her Majesty's Government conceive that the pro tection principle cannot with justice be described as the Universal basis, either of the general connexion between the I.Tnited.King-do m aid its colonies, or even of their commercial connexion. There is a large and important group of the colonies of this country, having a very ex tended commerce, and one of a peculiarly British char acter, in relation to which the protective system has at no time exercised a powerful influence, and in relation to which at present it has little more than a nominal ex istence. I speak of the Australian colonies. And it cannot fail to be remarked, that while these are the most distant, and, therefore, according to the supposition of many, also made y, th mostethe m in needost rapidogss ofcommprercriaelr and haveeferenee, they have thus most effectually belied that necessity. It is true, indeed,that a part of their material prosperity may be ascribable to the supply of penal labour ; but this is far from affizd 11,bl s e j s e u s t a y i to have ge, t o h f e c v a i s g e o , ro since s u perhaps d the most r been ainE4mm go*an rng i k n etl s :b t instances explanation ina w el oie h afs i n c h p o p s e s e n s al o lnasb of r her h e s ther unknown. The energy of the colonists has, with out doubt, under Divine Providence, been the main cause of their singular advancement ; stimulated but not over borne by distance, and aided, not repressed, by the en joyment of commercial freedom.. The same energies, with less disadvantage of distance to contend against, will, it may be confidently predicted, have a similar effect in developing the resources of British North America, an I not with less, but rather with the more signal sue sess, when capital, industry, and skill shall be leftto take their . owuspoptaneous direction, and to turn to account, as individual prudence shssll sue:gest, thesibundent na#te. rials and instruments of wealth which the bounty of Heaven has bestowed. " Her Majesty's Government have been glad to find that the Assembly has viewed with an unmingled satis faction ithe prosperity of Canada under the moderate system of protection which has hitherto prevailed ; but the Assembly cannot fail to recollect that all the pro gressive relaxations of that system, which fora series of years past have been introduced into the law, have been met and resisted by predictions of the ruin that was honestly but erroneously conceived would follow them, and that those predictions have nith a remark able uniformity been disappointed. Expelience cannot but suggest that a similar insecurity attaches to the re newal of the same expectations founded on the same arguments. "It is not for the sake of controversial or purely ar gumentative advantage that her Majesty's Government refer to former apprehensions, and to the manner in which they have been dissipate) by the event. A retrospect of this kind is calculated to throw clear and abundant light upon the real merits of the question. The fears which are now entertained have reference to the circumstance that it is proposed to re move all differential duty between Canadian and foreign corn. Is it, then, to be shown that Canadian corn trade has prospered heretofore in proportion to the amount of such differential duty ? Far otherwise. The law of 1828 diminished the difference in favour of Canada ; the law of 1842 further and greatly diminished the difference in favour of Canada ; the law of 1843, which reduced the duty on Canadian wheat to ls. per quarter, still left a much smaller difference in its favour, as against foreign wheat, than existed under either of the former corn laws ; and yet the corn trade of Canada has grown and prospered ; and its extension has, doubtless, contributed in no small degree to the happiness and prosperity of the people of the colony,--whichsthe Assembly, slating in the uamingled satisfaction of her Majesty and the British Parliament, has seen advancing in steady and successful progression. But this extension has taken place, not under protection secured from change, nor under protection fortified by successive increments, but contemporaneously with a series of changes involving its great diminution. " It appears to be the impression of the Assembly that some great revolution of prices is likely to occur, as the consequence of the pending changes in the law, which will deprive the Canadian farmer of all hope of remune ration for his surplus produce. But the Canadian farmer is advancing from year to year in capital and in science ; and, to say nothing of the great advantages he cannot fail to derive from improved communications, it would surely be rash to assert, nor probably do the Assembly in their address intend to imply, that his in dustry must be paralysed unless he shall continue to re ceive the precise amount of average payment for his grain that he has hitherto received for it. Doubtless the alarm which hayt been excited has refer ence to the idea o;:e some sudden, great, and permanent reduction orlance, to follow the repeal of the British corn-law. Without pretending to estimate too nicely the momentary or the occasional effects of that measure, her Majesty's Government cannot but admit that they could better appreciate at least certain pre sumptive, though far from demonstrative, grounds for the alarm of the Canadian agriculturist in regard to the future fortunes of the colony if they shared in such an anticipation. To some reelection of average and usual price, from the removal of artificial restraints, they are disposed to look forward, but when they consider the steady and rapid growth of population in the corn pro ducing countries of the globe, they cannot but be per suaded that it would be unwise, whether in the friends or the opponents of commercial relaxation, to recom mend or dissuade it on the ground of any great revolu tion in permanent prices to be operated by it; and their expectations of advantage, sanguine as these anticipa tions are, have reference in a greater degree to the in creased steadiness of the market, and to the vigour which general trade will derive from the removal of restraints upon the exchange of commodities, and agriculture, from the cessation of all artificial influence disturbing the balance of its several pursuits, and from the wholesome stimulus that competition, which in farming pursuits can scarcely become overwrought, rarely fails to impart to industry. " I am unwilling to repeat at length the arguments which I have addressed to your Lordship in my dis patch, No. 66, of the 18th of May, with respect to the other great subject of the alarm of the Assembly— namely, the trade in timber. When, however, we revert to the year 1842, it cannot but be acknowledged that this was the case of a trade peculiarly artificial as it stood under the former law. The reduction, though graduated, was decisive ; perhaps in no case has it been more so ; and certainly in no case have more uniform, confident, or sincere prophecies of ruin been hazarded by the opponents of the change. The result is, that the export of timber from British North America to this country attained during the last year to a height which it had never reached under the more protective law. I do not mean that the with drawal of protection was either the exclusive, or even the principal direct cause of this prosperity ; although there cannot be a doubt that many trades have to refer their vigour to the fact, that the absence of artificial support has in their case given free operation to the stimulus necessary for the development of natural and permanent resources. Increased demand in the United Kingdom has, without doubt, been the main and the imme diate cause of the increased export of wood from British North America ; but it is the conviction of her Majesty's Government that such increased demand was itself refer able in no small degree to the relaxations of our commer cial law; and therefore, in its due proportion, the growth of the timber trade is truly and justly, even if circuit ously, to be ascribed to that very diminution of protec tion from which its ruin had been anticipated. We are now to look forward with hope to a further increase of the consuming power of this country ; a further en couragement to the use of timber as compared with com peting articles capable of being applied to the same pur poses ; a further encouragement to the use of Canadian timber, in combination with the wood of the Baltic, for those objects in regard to which the consumption of the one directly stimulates the consumption of the other. Is it too much to hope that causes so similar may produce like effects ; and that the caution with which Parlia ment has proceeded in the gradual reduction of the timber duties to a moderate standard may be again re warded by the satisfaction with which it will witness a further growth in the wood trade of Canada ? Her Majesty's Government, therefore, cannot, on the part of the Imperial exchequer, share in the fear that increased freedom of trade will have the effect of crip pling the revenues of those important works, which are designed to facilitate the transit of the produce of Canada by the St. Lawrence to the sea. They can by no means subscribe to the opinion, that the comparative dearness of this route is an established fact. And they likewise feel that if they did subscribe to that opinion, although it might corroborate the propriety of the course they have pursued in suggesting to Parliament the interposition of an interval before entire freedom shall be given to the corn trade, it could do no more ; it could not induce them to ask, nor Parliament to grant, nor, they are certain, could it induce the people of Canada to desire, that the market of their farm produce should be maintained b of a perpetual tax up on th e peop l e of England. mansln referring to the unc h ec k e d competition 'IN hieh, so far as British law is concerned, will be established be tween colonial and foreign corn by the repeal of the corn-law, it perhaps may not have occurred to the As sembly that British law alone cannot suffice to establish this competition. The price which the colonial and foreign exporters of corn will respectively obtain for their grain in Great Britain must always be materially effected by the comparative degrees Of facility which may be atfordPd in the country of the one a nd of s the other for the introduction of those British goods ,t)Y . which payment for the Can must substantiallyl:w, Inao British goods are admitted into (.; : ar.'.s da at . v ,7, Y t i o . The the American Union at very high, import ':1.11 exporter effect of this is not merely to give to the ~,t o f a better position in the Canadisa market than in tee . the United States, but to enable him to gire a better price for the commodity he purchases in return, and therefore to give to the corn trade of Canada a corres ponding advantage, sn long as the present tariffs con tinue, over that of the United States. With respect to that portion of the address which prays her Majesty to invite the Government of the United States to establish an equality of trade between the dominions of the Republic and the British North American colonies, I am commanded to instruct your Lordship to assure the Assembly that her Majesty w ill readily cause directious to be given to her Minister at Washington to avail himself of the earliest suitable r;p- PRICE SD. portunity to press this important subject on the notice of that Government, and that it will afford her Majesty the most sincere satisfaction if any communication which may hereafter be held for this purpose shall have the effect which is desired by her faithfnl Commons of Canada. Iler Majesty's Government have, as may be known to the Assembly, on several occasions endeavoured to make arrangements with foreign powers for the mutual relax ation of tariffs ; and similar attempts have taken place among foreign powers, one with the other, but almost uniformly with ill success, Whatever arguments may be used to show the great increase of benefit that would accrue on both sides if states could have been induced to act simultaneously for this purpose, experience has arein g properly t h s ue s ffi c sufficiently ybinsehdow domestictt operationscttil e cern d difficulty t matters ot eas s f iu. effect the wisdom of securing the concern, advantage sggwehstieehd which depends upon oiunr t o h wen va fr in ee jn e a n g t e i ncy alone, rather benefits,than of f l o a r r t g g e o r i tga indeed, but Rot within eenarvoreuarehto Should the Government of the United States continue io main tain the scale of import duties now in for frontier, her Majesty's Govern ment w il l view with reongsitst a policy injurious to Canada: but th ey w ill reflect with satisfaction on the prevalent of laws more favourable to commerce on the Canadian side, and will anticipate from those laws both a direct benefit to the people and trade of the province, and the further advantage which a consistent example given by this country and by its colonies will, as they believe, not fail to realise in dis posing foreign states towards the removal of restrictions on trade. - With respect to that part of the address which relates to the duty of Is. per quarter, which it is proposed to charge on all wheat imported into England after the re peal of the corn-law, I am to refer your Lordship to my dispatch, No. 56, of the 181 h April, on the same sub ject. From the purport of that dispatch it would of course be even more difficult to recede at a period when the Bill introduced into the House of Commons by the adrisers of the Crown hag passed through all its stages in that House, and has been affirmed, as to its principle, on the s. eond reading of the House of Lords It is necessary for me here to offer an explanation with regard to an expression of mine, which appears to have give rise to misappr. bension. I have stated to your Lordship, in a previous dispatch, that her Majesty's Go vernment desire that the trade of Canada should, in all respects, approach as near to perfect freedom as the dis positions of its inhabitants and the exigencies of the public revenue there may permit ; and from this it is inferred, that the amount of ls. per quarter, which has been adopted for a long period in this country as the standard of a nominal duty upon corn, ought to he re moved. But the language which 'employed had reference to the trade of Canada as affected by laws applicable in her own markets and on her own waters. Indeed, if the allusion had been to a ri g id an d perfect equality' of trade in the ports and markets of thi s country- its 'first and most important bearing would, I apprehend, have been, not upon the nominal duty of is., which it is pro posed to retain upon colonial in common with foreign corn, but rather upon the very considerable duties of 15s. and 18s. respectively, which, as against nominal duties of Is. and 2s. on Canadian timber and deals, it is proposed to continue to charge on the corresponding foreign articles. Her Majesty's Governmeat, in the discharge of their duty to the Crown and to the people of this country, and likewise to the empire at large, have not felt them selves to be at liberty to advise her Majesty to pass by the address of her Canadian Assembly with a brief or merely formal answer, although the advanced state at which the deliberations of Parliament have now arrived might have afforded at least a technical justification for such a course. They have thought a more frank and full exposition of their views of this great question in its bearings upon Canada was due to the impor tant body from which the address proceeds, and from which they are well assured may be anticipated the most candid consideration even of arguments opposed to their own. It is due especially on account of the im portance of that body and of the province of Canada but, even in the case of the smallest portion of her sub jects, I have it in command to say that it would equally have been the desire of her Majesty that such a frank exposition of the policy of her Government should be made. Her Majesty does not recognise the distinction between her nearer and her more remote subjects with reference to a matter so nearly touching her relation to• wards them, and the duties and the sentiments of con sideration and affecticn which it involves. Nor can she recognise in this view any distinction between the more and the less powerful, particularly at a time when her Parliament is engaged in the discussion of measures which are recommended to its notice, especially upon the ground that they tend to improve the condition of the most numerous and the least opulent classes of her people. It would indeed be a source of the greatest pain to her Majesty's Government, if they ceuld share in the impres sion that the connexion between this country and Canada derived its vitality from no other source than from the exchange of commercial preferences. If it were so, it might appear to be a relation consisting in the ex change, not of benefits but of burdens ; if it were so, it would suggest the idea that the connexion it self had reached, or was about to reach, the legitimate term of its existence. But her Majesty's Govern ment still augur for it a longer duration, founded upon a larger and firmer basis—upon protection ren dered from the one side, and allegiance freely and loyally returned from the other—upon common tra ditions of the past, and hopes of the future,—upon re semblances in origin, in laws and manners,—in what inwardly bind men and communities of men together, as well as in the close association of those material in terests which, as her Majesty's Government are con vinced, are destined not to recede but to advance, not to be severed, but to be more closely and healthfully combined under the quickening influence of increased commercial freedom. I have, &c. W. E. GLADSTONE. The following is a report of the discussion on the sub ject of the address in the Provincial Parliament of Canada : HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, MONDAY, MAY 11. _ _ _ _ Mr. Robinson moved that an humble address be pre sented to her Majesty, praying that in case any change is made in the law regulating the admission of foreign grain into England, due regard may be had to the inte rests of her subjects in Canada. He stated his intention was to obtain an address to go home by the next mail. His desire was not to impede the action of her Majesty's Government, but to obtain such a protection for Canada as would equalise the freight between Montreal and New York, without which he was afraid that for the next few years Canada would not be able to compete with her At lantic rival. He was aware that resolutions on the sub ject were before the House, from the Hon. Member for Lincoln and the Hon. Member fcr Durham, but their discussion was put off till Thursday, and, consequently, any action on them would be too late for the mail which went on Wednesday. He felt that the House should have moved sooner in this matter ; but, for his part, he was of opinion the question would have been finally set tled long before this. This, it now appeared, was not the case, from its being retarded by other important bu siness before the Imperial Legislature. He thought, from the general terms of his motion, the sentiments of both sets of resolutions now before the House might be embodied in an address, and passed to-morrow in time for the mail on Wednesday, and trusted no objection would be made to the course he was pursuing, as he could not by any motion now bring the other resolutions before the House before the day named. The motion was carried and referred to a select com mittee, consisting of Messrs. Williams, Baldwin, M'Donald, Kingston, Roblin, and the mover, to report an address. _ _ TUESDAY, MAY 12. The Committee appointed to prepare an address to her Majesty respecting the admission of foreign wheat and flour into Great Britain reported a draught, and it was ordered to be engrossed. An address was then voted to his Excellency, praying him to transmit the said address to her Majesty. Mr. Robinson brought up an address from . .the Com mittee named to draught an address on the subject of the contemplated change in the corn-laws. Mr. Moffatt considered that a portion of her Majesty's reply to the address of the 25th of March last, relative to the commercial interest of Canada, applied to the ad dress before the House, and it would be well to recon sider it. He did not think that any address or repre sentations from that House would have any effect at home ; the Imperial Parliament had made up its mind as to the course it would adopt in this matter. All that was left to Canada was to avail herself of the small boon granted, and at once to prepare for the change. A t debate ng the ensuedeivyiList, uponbut M n r 0 f .

On Tuesday having been specially appointed for the due celebration of her Majesty's birthday, the royal standard was hoisted on the principal church steeples, at an early hour, amid the ringing of merry peals, the ships in the river, and the principal public b u ildi ngs. A t ten o ' c l oc k a very large number of well-dressed personages was congregated in St. James's Park to witness the inspection of the Household troops. The Life Guards formed on the right of the infantry, attended by their band in state liveries, as also by their splendid massive silver kettle -drums. On the occasion of the Queen's birthday the united bands of the three regiments of Foot Guards attend the parade, and form a concert of mi litary music not to be surpassed. A tolerable opinion. may be formed of this powerful combination of martial sounds from the subjoined analysis of the various instruments clarionets, 8 flutes and picolos, 7 oboes, 10 bassoons, 12 French horns, 6 cornopeans, 6 trumpets, 9 trombones, 6 ophicleides, 3 brass drums, 3 tenor drums, 3 cymbals, and 80 drums, bugles, and fifes, making a total of 183 performers. This magnificent band played with wonderful effect Mozart's 1\ on piu Andrai," the " British Grenadiers," the " Duke of York's March," and " God save the Queen." The troops looked exceedingly well in their new uniforms, and went through their evolutions in a most soldier-like man ner, to the evident satisfaction of the illustrious personages and distinguished officers present; among whom were Field- Marshal the Duke of Wellington, Commander- in -Chief, in his uniform as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards ; Field- Marshal his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as Co lonel of the Coldstream Guards; Field-Marshal his Royal Highness Prince Albert, as Colonel of the Scots Fusilier Guards; and his Royal Highness Prince George of Cam bridge, rg b i et , a was s C a o t l t o e n n e d l e o d f t b h y e I b 7 i s t h s e nc a e n rLas. d a T i d h e e s _ C d o e _ m e a m m an p d . e r i b n e parade was ergwded with ladies, accompanied by officers in uniform, amongst whom we noticed— Lord and Lady Vivian, Earl of Enniskillen, the Earl of Cardigan, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Sir Charles • Tphaelbsligaeer', Duke e m a s of Douro, Marquis of Worcester, Colonel Drummond, Duchess of Leinster, Sir Frederick Drummond, &c. The principal attraction, however, was Ibrahim Pacha and his suite, who seemed highly to enjoy the scene. Viscount Combermere was at the head of his regiment, the 2d Life Guards ; and Colonel Berkeley Drummond commanded the infantry, about 1,200 in number. The ground was well kept by detachments of Foot GuardS, and all went off admirably. THE ILLUMINATIONS. andcasi opniacbeust of were amusement,chi chiefly c 3: club-houses jastoe The illuminations in the evening were quite as extensive o a u s son the of the Royal tradespeople. Notwithstanding the lowering nettetorethsiedevnacreat appearance of the heavens in the earlier part of the evening, and the want of the usual attraction of a drawing-room on such occasions, the streets of the metropolis, especially the leading thoroughfares, were thronged by countless thousands of respectable persons all wending their way to the West end to see the lights. Most of the principal streets were nearly impassable until after eleven o'clock, owing to the in numerable carriages, carts, waggons, omnibuses, &c., crowded with people from all parts of the suburbs. Every necessary regulation for the preservation of order had, however, been adopted by the police • authorities, and no serious accidents are believed to have occurred. WOOLWICH. At Woolwich, at an early hour, the day appointed to be celebrated as her Majesty's birthday, was ushered in by the bells of the parish church ringing a merry peal, and the royal . standard being hoisted on a ftagstail on the steeple, and at the dockyard, the garrison, and the Royal Arsenal. At a quarter before twelve o'clock the whole of the troops in the garrison, consisting of the Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge, ; the battalions of Foot Artillery, the right wing under the com mand of Lieutenant •Colonel Russell, and the left wing under 1 the command of Lieutenant, Colonel Crawford; the Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Captain Webb,. R.E. ; the Chelsea pensioners, under the command of Cap tain Forbes; the Royal Marines, under the command of Colonel Mercer; and the Field Batteries, under the com mand of Colonel Cleaveland, on the left; assembled on the Common, and precisely at twelve o'clock the Royal Horse Artillery commenced firing a royal salute from their guns. On a signal being given, the Horse Artillery fired six guns, and a running fire was carried on along the front line of the whole of the t roo p s an d up the rear, the bands of the various corps playing " God save the Queen." The field batteries then fired eight guns on the left, which was fol.- lowed by a running fire along the line, as before. Six guns' were then fired on the right, followed by another running fire, the bands playing " God save the Queen." The line then presented arms, shoulder order, and gave three hearty cheers. Major-General Sir T. Downman, C. 8., commandant of the garrison, rode down the line and up the rear, accom panied by Brigade-Major Cuppage, Captain Tvlden, Captain Wingfield, and several other officers. Colonel Tulloh, of the Chelsea Pensioners Forces, Lieutenant-Colonel Grant, Royal Artillery, and Lieutenant-Colonel Powell, Boyal Marines, were present in uniform, and Colonel Turner, C. 8., com manded the whole of the line. The ground was kept by men of the Riding-house establishment, and many thousands were present on the occasion, attracted to Woolwich by a , report that there was to be a review and rocket practice it; the Marshes, although nothing of the kind was intended. THE HON. ARTILLERY COMPANY. A considerable number of the officers; non-commissioned officers, and men of this ancient corps, established in the city of London, assembled at their spacious grounds in Finsbury to celebrate her Majesty's birthday, and shortly after three o'clock P. 7.1. fired a double royal salute from two field pieces in a manner, as to loading and firing, which would have re flected credit on any artillery corps in her Majesty's service. Captain Iselin commanded the artillery com•dany, and Cap tain Barnard put the whole of the companies through their various evolutions with as much precision as regularly ern-- bodied and constantly practised soldiers. Previous to the double royal salute, and three rounds being fired from the muskets, the whole of the companies marched past the major commanding at slow and quick time, in a very soldier-like manner. The companies then went through all the evolu tions of a field day, as practised by infantry regiments and foot artillery, and formed squares, firing from the front rank, and by companies and battalions, in a superior style, afford , ing proofs of their efficiency and attention to the duties they had undertaken. Their late eommanding officer (Colonel Cox) and Major FreshSeld were on the ground, in uniform, and thousands of the members of highly respectable families, to witness the exercise of the Hon. Artillery Company. WINDSOR. A royal salute was fired to• day at 1 o'clock from the Bel videre Fort, at Virginia Water, in honour of her Majesty's birthday. The Corporation ordnance having fired a royal lute, and the bells of the parish church having been rung on the 25th ult., the usual rejoicings in the town to-day did not take place. Colonel Ferguson, and the officers of the second battalion of the Grenadier Guards, gave a splendid banquet this even ing to a distinguished party, at the Infantry Barracks, in Sheet-street. Upwards of 70 were present. The entertain ment took place in Tippoo Saib's tent, the property of her Majety, kindly lent for the occasion by Colonel Bowles, the Master of the Household, in the absence of the Lord Cham berlain. This spacious tent, the interior of which was taste fully decorated with nags and other military trophies, inter spersed with evergreens and festoons of flowers, was erected in the barrack square. A large assemblage is expected to be present at the race ball this evening, at the Town-hall, under the stewardship of the Earl of Rosslyn, the Earl of Orkney, the colonels and officers of the two regiments in garrison at Windsor, Mr. Ralph Neville, M.P., &c. SIR ROBERT AND LADY PEEL'S GRAND FETE. On Tuesday Sir Robert and Lady Peel gave a magnifi cent entertainment, at their mansion in Whitehall-gardens, in celebration of the Queen's birthday. The grand assembly was preceded by a sumptuous banquet. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge were to have dined with the Premier and her Lady ship, but owing to the Royal Duke's indisposition, arising from gout, his Royal Highness was prevented from joining the circle. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge arrived at eight o'clock, attended by Baron Knesebeck and Lady Au gusta Cadogan, and on alighting from the royal carriage was received by Sir Robert Peel, who conducted his dim trious guest to the saloon, where the company invited to the banquet had assembled. consisted of the Duke of Rutland ark' Lady d A and Lady Alexandrine Vane, the Marchioness o onde .

The Pacha was evidently pleased with his reception, and on his departure took a cordial leave of Sir R. Peel.
