ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.

On Thursday the Sheriffs of London waited on
her Majesty, to know when she would be pleased to
receive the City Address of Congratulation, and her
Majesty having fixed Friday at one o'clock, shortly
slier twelve the Lord Mayor and Corporation left
Guildhall in their carriages, to present the Address
voted to her Majesty. Ilect.street and the Strand
were crowded with people, anxious to prove their
sympathy in the ceremony of congratulation ; but
his 'Tory Lordship, determined to disappoint them
by deviating from the accustomed rout, the proces-
sion went up Holborn. Among others we particu-
larly observed, by the enthusiasm with which they
were received, Aldermen Wood and Waithman, and
Messrs. l•avel and Williams, the mover and seconder
of the Address. Her Majesty received the Deputa-
tion most graciously, and seemed at once deeply
atfccted and much gratified by this testimony from
the Metropolitan Corporation.
The fidlowing was the Address, which was read
by the Common Sergeant, the liccorder being (per-
haps politically) indisposed :
" To the QuliliPCB Most Excellent Majesty.
" The (Wilful and loyal Address of the Lord-11..y0r. Al-
dermen, and Commons of the city 01 London, in
Common Conned assembled.

" May it please your Majesty,
We, his Majesty's ever•dutitill and loyal subjects, the
Lord-Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the city of
London, in Common Council assembled, approach yon
Alajesty with sincere expressions of loyalty, attachment,
and regard.
" We condole with your Majesty on the various atnic.
lions your Majesty has sustained, since your deviators.,
Irons this country, by the loss of so many illustrious per-
sonages of your Majesty's family, especially by the demise
of our late beloved Sovereign, your Majesty's paternal
guardian, whose countenance and support, under the
trying cite ttttt stances, gave the best pledge to the
Isailoss of pour Majesty's innocence, and the tit oleo pie.

" Deeply attached to the Royal Family, and anxioll,
for the p.esetvation of Ilse hillldiC tI'NIIIIIIIItIR, we feel
ousel ives called upon to express oust tits nest hope that Ilse
sluttervisees which Intim innately subsist may lir arranged
in a manner holiosintltle to your ALsjesty, as %sell as to

your Royal Consort, and satisfactory to the country ; and
that, should au investigation of these differences bt still
unhappily resorted to, recognizing the dignified firmness
which your Majesty lies manifested, by the solemn protest
you have entered against all secret investigations of your
conduct. so tepngneitt to common justice, and to the feel-
legs of Englishmen, we tract such investigation will be
conducted in an open and impartial manner, and ter-
minate in the complete vindication of your Majesty's
honour.

" We rely upon your Majesty's gracious acceptance of
this Address, as • proof of the loyalty and affection of
your faithful citizens of London, and of their attachment
to the illustrious house of Brunswick, who, they trust, will
long continue to sway the It. itish sceptre, and maintain
the liberties and happiness of the people.
To which her Majesty was pleased to return the
following most gracious answer
" 1 return you my heartfelt thanks fur this dutiful Ad-
dress, which is both loyal to the King and affectionate to

" If any thing conld lessen the grief which I most still
frel for the loss of those dear relations of whom I have
been deprived since I left England, it would he the pi oors
I now receive upon my semen. that their memo' tea are

" In the;eWt;;;ii;iow-I;irhl am exposed, my first
duty is to vindicate myself, ■ad my next wish is, to see
nothing attempted that may hint the feelings of others.
" But in all the troubles through which I have passed,
the generous attachment of the English people has been
my safe-guard against the King's enemies and my own t
and he well assured, that no time can ever weaken the
grateful impression of such obligations."
The Corporation, walking two and two, headed
by the Lord Mayor, then walked in procession past
her Majesty, and each Member had the honour of
kissing 'her Majesty's hand. The room being so
small, a great many of the Members were obliged to
stand on the landing place and stairs, and entered
iu their turns.
About two o'clock, the ceremony having con-
cluded, the order was given for the City carriages to
draw up to the doer.
Meanwhile the Queen was seen from the street,
conversing with Messrs. Wood, Waithman, Feta,
and several other Members, and her Majesty was
observed to bestow marks of attention upon all the
company, with her usual grace and affability.
While the carriages were drawing up, her Ma-
jesty, graciously listening to the repeated call., of
the people, came to the window, and it is utterly
impossible to describe the bursts of enthusiasm with
which her appearance was hailed. Her Majesty,
evidently affected, then stepped upon the balcony,
and in an instant every man was uncovered, and
every woman in the street and in the houses waved
her handkerchief, all crying, " God bless the Queen
—Long live our gracious Queen Caroline!" The
most enthusiastic cheering continued incessantly for
several minutes, during which her Majesty bowed
all round to the crowd, and smiled; but her coun-
tenance betrayed considerable emotion. She then
retired, but the people, as if existing only in her
presence, called louder than ever " the Queen, the
Queen !" and her Majesty seemed inclined to re-
turn again, upon which Alderman Wood snatched
up a rug from the floor, and spreading it upon the
balcony, handed the Qaeeu a second time to the
view of the people.
Her .Majesty remained bowing to the assembled
multitude for more than five minutes, and smiled
most benignantly to the ladies at the windows, who
seemed almost beside themselves with joy. The
scene upon the whole was truly interesting and
impressive, and we may safely declare, that nothing
at all to be compared to it has occurred in this
country for many years.

On Thursday last his Majesty held a Drawing.
room at Buckingham-house. The Duchess of Glon.
cester officiated as the Queen. It will not he ex.
pected that our columns should be occupied by
descriptions of the ladies' petticoats, but we cannot
refrain from stating our opinion that a puAtpone-
ment of sack a pageantry at this moment wou►d
only have been a proper deference to the manifest
feeling of the English people on the subject of their
Queen, whose popularity increases every day.
Prince Leopold attended the Drawing-room, amt
had an opportunity of being convinced that his
popularity has been seriously shaken by his slight ut
her Majesty since her return. He might have re-
membered that the estimation ut' our countrymen
has been gained by no other means than by his
having been a good husband to our lamented Prin-
cess, and that her Majesty had the prier :nut higher
claim of having been her good, affectionate, and
adored mother. The hisses of the respectable
throng that filled the Park may perhaps assist his
memory on this point, and cause him to endeavour
to re-instate himself in their esteem by a humble
apology to the outraged feelings of her Majesty.
It is said that the travclEng commission and
instructions, carried out by a certain di:graced
Chancery Barrister, consisted st;ely and simply of
the fidlowing pintatimi—

OF COMMON COUNCIL.

On Wednesday a Court of ConimmiCouncil was hehi
at 6!iildhall, iii consequence of a requisition received by
tite Rtght boo, the Lord M iyor, to consider the pro-
priety ol a dutiful and loyal Address 10 her Majesty the
t2ncea, upon her arrival in ntis country.
Previous to taking the Chair, a very sv.trm and loud
altercation took place between the Lord Mayor, Mr.
Alderman Waithinati, Messrs. Pavel, llorcombe, and
others. Ills Lordship seemed eager to impress ou the
gendeineu present ine propriety 1,1 (Welling this discus-
sion until the result id the negociatiotts, 110 W 'lending,
be made known. lu support of this opinion, he in-
stanced the conduct of both Houses of Parliament, and
of the High Bailiff of Westotinsier. In reply, Mr. Al-
derman \Vaitionan asked his Lordship it he thought
he had more sense than all the rest of the Court put
urrether ; and observed, that the proceedings of the Lord
Mayor of Loudon were to. to be regulated by those of
a I ligh Rita' of Westminster.
Tne altercation, seinen was waxing wanner and
wormer every moment, was only put an end to by his
Lordship taking the Clair.
After the mottoes of the last Court had been read,
LOHD MAYOR said, that when the acquisition
calling tats Court was presented to him, there was a
hope oust time business on which it wax called would
have bees settled. WA having been ilw case, he
hoped tiie good sense of the Court would not proceed in
i . 1 f not, lie should be very sorry to act in a way which
Ins sense of ti toy would compel hum to 1:0..
Mr. FAVIii, said, that it wool,: he found, from his
opening speech, that it was the farthest thing from his
wish to widen the breach which now unhappily sub-
sisted; but rather to do every thing in his power to
heal it.
The Requisition, calling that Court, and the former
Address to toe Pritice4 of Wales, congratulating her on
the defeat which her enemies had Illtt with, having been
read,

.a.
Mr. FAVEL trusted the merits of this question would,
be met with coolness and deliberation; and he rose,
therefore, to move a dutiful Address of Condolence and
Congratulatiota to our most gracious Queen Caroline..
The Minutes just read shewed clearly that the Queen
had left this country with the good will and atlection of
the people, and it had been the cottons of the Court to
congratulate each of the Royal Family on their arrival
111 England. lie hoped, therefore, that this would not
be the hest time that they neglected a duty, which
V.',l* now peculiarly imperative. Ills Address must
contain two branches; one of them of congratulation,
awl the other to condole with her on the very many
losses which she had sustained in her family since her
departure from this country. She had lost her father,
brother, her amiable daughter, her good friend the Dake
of Kent, and the late King, her protector against all her
enemies, and yet had site boldly come and thrown her-
self on British justice, and the protection of a loyal
people. Unless there was any one who would dispute
her title to be Queen of England, he could anticipate no
objection to its motion. Every smother of the Royal
Family must be pleased with a flit, loyal, and moderate
Address, because all most be anxious that she should be
able to prove her innocence. He. should wish to heal
the unhappy differences which now existed in the Royal
Family. They were not now in a situation to make a
choice of evils; nor were they to abstain from addressing
the Queen, unless they would make themselves a party
to the charges now brought against her Majesty. He then
moved a dutiful and loyal Address to the Queen on her
arrival in this country.
Mr. J. WILLIAMS seconded the motion. He could
not consider this an interference between husband and
wife; but he was free to confess that this subject could
not be handled, without calling in question the conduct
of Ministers. If they were to omit this Address, it
would be an insult to both the Queen and his Majesty.
Sir NV.Corris rose with regret to oppose this motion,
which, though tuorlerate, yet it touched on a quarter of
all others the most delicate. Parliament had suspended
its deliberations, and so ought they.
Mr. Jove thought the manner in which the worthy
Mover had handled the question was highly creditable to
him ; and that all they had to consider was, whether
they would depart from their usual course, which was to
address the Royal Family on their arrival in this country.
Mr.JACKS said, that he conceived any interference on
their parts, in the manner now proposed, would be de-
cidedly taking the part of the Queen against the Kiug.—
(No, no, no!)
Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said, that after the very
able and judicious rummer in which this Address had
been moved and seconded, he should not have spoken
one word in support of it, did he not conceive that his
opinion would be expected upon a subject which had
formerly engrossed so notch of his attention. Even if
the conduct of her Majesty hail ever been so blameable,
still, never was there a woman under the canopy of
Heaven more deserving of compassion. Every attempt
had been made to traduce her character ; and that was
tile most effectual of all ways to make any Iniman being
careless of their coil list. 'I his was the very proper Hale
for congratulation. Could they shut their eyes to the
persecutions which that Illestrions Female had under-
gone? And did they suppose, that by Nyin.,4 her studied
neglect, who. was not only the Consort of our Sovereign,
but inner wise nearly a hied to him by blood, they should
act agreeably to his feelings? It WJS impossible; it
must give that Royal personage the greatest satisfaction
to see her Majesty's innocence clearly proved. Let them
look at the degraded situation of their Queen. By
erasing her name from the Liturgy, she had been as it
were shut out of the pale of the Church. But the great-
est cLgrarlation of all was the proposition which offered
money—money to be taken from the pockets of a
soffering people, to he spent in a foreign country, and to
one, who, if we believe the insinuations of the very men
who made this infamoos proposition, was woolly mle-
