ISLINGTON Al/DRESS.

This pr esbion was a disp.ay of elegance and fashion,
which far exceeded anything of the sort that has been
exhibited since her Majesq's return to England. ern-
bracing most of the respectable inhabitants of Islington
and its neighbourhood. It was in the following or-
der :

A horseman. in the uniform of the Yeomen of the Guard,
bearing a handsome banner—" Islington Address."
Two Trumpeters, mounted, wearing the same uniform.
A handsome barouche drawn by six beautiful horses, in which
was the Address in form of a serail, adorned with white roses.
In this carriage was the Chairman, J. Bentley, Esq. the Her.
Mr. Drape!, Mr. Richter, who read the Address, and Captain
Leaguer. in full regimentals.
Two Gentlemen's carrages. with part of the Sub Committee.
Next followed 50 carriages drawn by four horses each. filled
with beautiful, elegantly dressed women. and aespeaable
Gentlemen.

Capt. Longster, who accompanied her Majesty on
her first arrival in England, had the honour of
being particularly recognized by her. " Tis a long
while Captain Long,ster," said the Queen, " since
we first became acquainted." " Yes, your Majesty,"
replied the Captain. "it is now twenty-five years."
de Twenty-five years !" replied the Queen—the
concatenations of busy memory were too much for
the Crown-less Queen—the persecuted Woman—.
the widowed Wife—the childless Mother—and she
averted her face to conceal the involuntary tear that
Sole down her cheek.
The youngest daughter of the justly celebrated
Mr. Benjamin Flower, being on a visit to her uncle,
accompanied him in the procession--overcome by
her feelings, the interesting girl on saluting the
Queen's hand burst into tears, and ejaculated—
" May God Almighty bless and protect your Ma-
jesty."—The Queen was so much affected as to
be scarcely able to reply__.." Indeed, indeed, I
thank you."
It is rather a curious circumstance, that when
the procession passed by Carleton Palace, the senti-
nels stood unmoved, but when it reached St. James's
Palace, the sentinels on duty there presented arms.
Application was made by the Gentlemen com-
posing the Committee, to the Churchwardens to
permit the bells to be rung while the procession
was leaving, and returning to Islington—with an
offer to defray all expences; but the petty spirit of
opposition to every exhibition of honourable feeling
which has so long di the Jacas-IN-Orrice
of this most respectatlead parish, was put in action,
and a peremptory refusal was addressed to the Com-
mittee. The battery of 21 guns belonging to blr.
Flower, fired from time to time during the day.

The Gentlemen nn their return sat down to a sump-
tuous dinner at Canonbury House. The wines were
excellent, the evening was spent in the greatest con-
viviality ; and among many excellent toasts, to which
the circling goblet flowed, the exertions of the Public
Press, in her Majesty's cause, were nut forgotten.

Tu a COOPIIRS. PROCISSION—passed through the
principal streets of the City anti Westminster, between
tenlind eleven o'clock.

Tint MOROCCO NIANUFACTURRRL—WiII a very
respectable and well appointed procession.

man on horseback, with the words" NlargateAclress,"

BRASS FOUNDERS AND BRAZIERII.—Chi, procession
passed down Shoe-lane, through Fleet-sireet, and the
Strand. It extended a considerable way, was highly re-
spectable, and attracted as much notice as any Wilt has
addressed her Majesty. It bad a most-brilliant edict,.
and was miners:l'ly admired. foe Address was en-
iii an elegantly formed brass case, and was pre.
*cruet: by one of the persons in armour, who adeaueed
so the throne, still bending on one knee, laid it at her
klairsty's feet. A youth •etri hawed one of the pm-
ce sum atiewards advanced to tile throile, and grace-
fully presented to her 111.1jesty a gilt vase of exesilent
workinznship, with which her liojesty seemed peculiar-
ly phased.
