ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE TO HER

MAJESTY.

An address, which we behove is unique of its
kind, has just been presented to her Majesty the
Queen. It comes from Wolverhampton, and is
an address of condolence from the widows of that
neighbourhood to the Royal Widow. Many of the
pour women, widows of colliers, walked several
miles into Wolverhampton, with the single pur-
pose of sexing their names to the paper. The
Queen's kindness, in thinking of the sufferers by
the Hartley accident in the midst of her own
sorrows, had much affected them, and made them
very forward on this occasion. They said, as
they signed, " Her was so kind to them poor
widows, we be main glad to do her a good turn,
God bless her'" The following is the address :
May it please your Majesty,—We. the widows of this
town, beg to humbly approach your Majesty to offer
you the deepest sympathy from our own stricken hearts. We
who have felt the bitter pang of bereavement, can most truly
mourn with your Majeaty's great grief, so nobly borne.
Knowing, alas ! too well, that no earthly consolation me
avail in such a sorrow, we would humbly venture to remind
your Majesty that the Father of the fatherless has said,
" Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted,"
and haa promised that in His glorious kingdom He will
" wipe away all fears from their eyes, Lod there shall bs so
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall tbsve
be any more pain, for the former things have jawed away."
We are, your Majesty's moat dutiful, most humble, and
most devoted servants.
