WHITEHALL, JAY. 18.—The following addressra of
condolence to the Queen, on the occasion of the death of
her late M.jesty Queen Adelaide, having been transmi.ted
to the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart. her Majesty's
Principal Secutary of 8 a's for the Home Bart.,

TR. Qoaax's MOST EXCILLINT MAJESTT,—MO.t Gra•
ciou 8 ivereign,—We, your Majesty's mutt dutiful and loyal
subjects, the. Chancellor, Masters, awl scholars of the 1.7t.i•
varsity of Oxford, humbly request permission to present
to your Majesty the expressions of our heartfelt condo-
lence on the melancholy event which has bereaved your
Majesty of an illustrious and honoured relative, and de-
prived the country of one of its brightest examples of
piety and virtue. However afflictitig to your Majesty this
dispensation of Divine Providence may be, roar Majesty
will doubtless derive mutilation from the reflection that a
devout and Christian lite was closed in perfect peace, cheer-
ful resignation to the will of Almighty God, and bumble
reliance on the merits of the Redeemer. Though the lose of
one, so endeared to the nation by her piety, meekneis, and
boundless charity, has withdrawn from us the inestimable
benefit of her axample, still must the influence of that ex-
ample be long and deeply felt among us, sustained and
strengthened as It is by the contemplation of those virtues
which displayed in your Majesty's daily Ire, have won for
bour Majesty the devoted affeetlon of your loyal people, and
are impeded additional lustre and stability to the
throats. We hunbly trait that the Almighty Disposer
of events may vouchsafe to your Majesty a bag
and peaceful reins, together with the continued
enjoyment of every temporal and spiritual blessing.
Given at oar Ht use of Cttnvocation, under our common meal,
this 12th day of January, la the year of our Lord 18.50.

pet awe had been various lotteries got up in Soefileid,
havlag for their object the sale of lets of property, it prime
far beyond their wal wine. Lotteries were prohibited b 7,
law, widths extent to whisk these " property distributions
had boa serried, had induced the government to direst the
present proeeedings against Mr. Bridges, the projector sad
prinelyel agent in Getting!u such schemes in Ws part of the
country. Mr. Bridgn'had been advertir not
only in Sheffield, but in the lastropolis, and in almost..very
town in England. Bose idea might be formed of the scale
on which the btudasse we earned on when he stated that for
ens scheme alone so less than half a million prospectus.. bad
been printed sad circulated by Mr. Bridges. Besides having
weals I. 'lt part. of the country, Bridges bad also kept an
office in Sheffield for the sale of lottery tickets.
A wines. hurls; been called to prove the fact that Mr.
Bridge. kept an When in Basfaeld for the sale of tickets for
his baton, the magistrates intimated that a sufficient ease
bedlam made out to warrant their granting the amain..
Me. Fret oa, solicitor, said Mr. Bridges having noticed an
intimation that the government cionwmplated proceeding
against bins, hat Instructed his to watch thew proceedings
oa his behalf. The only object the government could have
in view was to stop thaw illegal practices being punned In
this country. Re believed that object had been attained,
Mr. Bride. e having issued notices to his subset:lbws that the
lottery would not be drawl' is England.
Mr. Rodgers said he had forwarded one of thew notices
to the Treasury offices, and, stelae from the government being
satisfied with it, hie instractans in reply were No time
mast be lost in %Kakis" an applicati in for summons against
Bridges for keeping en office in Sbeffield for the roe of
lottery tickets." The Issuing of the notice by Bridges was a
mere rue*, the fact being that he had opened offices in Bel-
gium, where he intended to draw the lottery, and to ma-
tinee the offence against the laws of this country by obtan-
lag enbeeriben here. If Bridges were really abandoning the
schwas, why did he not return the guinea subscriptions
which he had received from his dupes in every part of the
country.
The magistrates granted the summons.
Tree case was fixed for hearing yesterday, when Bridges
appeared by his attorney.
Mr. Rodgers declined to prccred with the ease unless the
defendant appeared is person, and applied for a warrant to
apprehend hint. lie had reason to believe that Bridges was
in Lenditt, and might be apprehended there if the marra,4
woe granted immediately, hut the delay of a day might en-
able him to reeve to ittgiusn.
Mr. Fretson opposed the application on the cround that,
as the defendant appeal td by ha attorney, the CUM could be
heard in his absence.

Mr Rodgers—lf Mr. Pretson will so far stand in the place
of his cleat as to go to prison in his r ead, I have no objec-
tion to dieresis. with Mr. Bridges' personal appearance herr.
(lAnght r.)
it,. iretson—l certainly cannot undertake to do that.
The Bench intimate i that, as the ends of justice might be
debated by hearing the ease in Bridges' absence, they should
grant a warrant Inr his apprehension.
Mr. Fretsni—Ttiough I cannot undert►ke to go to prison
for my client, I will uadertake to say that you won't catch
him.
