PRESENTATION OF THE CITY ADDRESS
TO THE QUEEN.

Her Majesty having fixed yesterday, at one o'clock, as
the time she would receive the congratulatory address
of the Corporation of London "on the glorious success
of the British army and fleet in connection with those
of her Majesty's faithful allies," the various members of
the Court of Aldermen, the Court of Common Council,
the Remembrancer, and other City officers forming the
deputation, assembled at the Guildhall this morning at
10 o'clock, from whence they proceeded to the Padding.
ton Station, where they were joined by the Lord
Mayor, the Town Clerk, Sheriffs, &c. (who
had to be in attendance on the Judges at
the Old Bailey, and proceeded by special train to
Windsor.
The civic functionaries arrived at Windsor about 12
o'clock, and formed into procession (the state carriages
having been forwarded to Windsor the previous day),
proceeding along High-street, Castle-hill and green,
entering the quadrangle of the Castle by St. George's-
gate. . -

The deputation was received by her Majesty (who
appeared in the enjoyment of excellent health, enhanced
no doubt by her recent sojourn in the Highlands), in
the Throne Room, which, with the Armoury, St.
George's Hall, and the suite of reception-rooms, had
been appropriately fitted up for the occasion.
Her Majesty was conducted to the throne in St.
George's Hall, Prince Albert being on the Queen's left,
and the Duchess of Wellington (officiating for the
Duchess of Sutherland as Mistress of the Robes) and
the Duchess of Atholl, Ladies in Waiting, standing on
her Majesty's right.

Sir George Grey, the Queen's Principal Secretary of
State for the Some Department, was on the Queen's
right ; Earl Spencer, Lord Steward of the Househoki,
also stood on the right ; and Lord Ernest Bruce, Vice
Chamberlain, on her Majesty's left. The other Gentle-
man-in-Waiting occupied their usual stations near the
throne.

The corporation was received at the door of St. George's
Hall by the Vice-Chamberlain, who conducted the Lord
MAyor and deputation to the Sovereign. The Town
Clerk (in the absence of the Recorder) read the following
address :

"Most gracious Sovereign,—We, your Majesty's loyal
and dutiful subjects, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and
Commons of the City of London in Common Council as..
sembled, desire humbly to approach your Majesty, to
offer our earnest and sincere congratulations upon the
successes which it has pleased Divine Providence to grant
to the fleets and armies of your Majesty, and of your
Majesty's illustrious allies, during the conduct of the
present war.
" We feel most grateful to the Almighty Disposer of
events that, under peculiarly trying and difficult circum-
stances, your Majesty's fleets and armies have been en-
dowed with such enduring patience and such heroic cou-
rage as to uphold the honour and sustain the reputation
of our beloved country, and to chastise and humble the
arrogant pretensions of the Emperor of Russia, who
seeks to control the destinies of Europe, to impede the
progress of civilisation, and to diminish the independ-
ence of nations.
" We rejoice in the firm and steadfast alliance which
your Majesty has made with your illustrious ally the
Emperor of the French, and in the valour of those brave
men sent by him to the Crimea, who, side by side with
your Majesty's subjects, have so nobly withstood the
advance of the enemy, and, amidst unexampled difficul
ties and privations, have advanced from one conquest to
another, until the proud fleet of the enemy has been de-
stroyed and his stronghold has fallen before the victo-
rious arms of your Majesty and of your Majesty's illus-
trious allies.

" Engaged as your Majesty is in conducting a just
and necessary war, we pledge ourselves to maintain your
Majesty in its vigorous prosecution until, by the vallur
of those engaged in it, shall be brought to an end, and
by the wisdom of your Majesty's councils a lasting and
honourable peace shall be concluded.

" Deign, therefore, most gracious Sovereign, to accept
our dutiful and hearty congratulations on the successes
which have continued to crown your Majesty's armies
and fleets, and those of your allies. We offer up our
humble prayer that your Majesty's life may long be
spared to guide us In war, to govern us in peace, and to
reign over a people distinguished for its love of freedom,
its enterprising commerce, its ardent pursuit of science,
and its possession of a pure Christianity, giving it an
unexampled power which we know your Majesty will
only wield to advance whatever is good and great
amongst your subjects, and to further the liberty, the
happiness, and the prosperity of nations."
The Town Clerk, kneeling, presented the address,
which was delivered by her Majesty to Sir George Grey.
The Queen returned the following most gracious
answer :
" I have received with great satisfaction your loyal and
dutiful address.

" I rejoice to know that while you share my conviction
of the justice and necessity of the war in which we are en-
gaged, you also fully participate in my admiration for the
enduring patience and heroic courage of my brave soldiers
and sailors, and of those of my allies, and in my thank-
fulness to the Almighty Disposer of events for the suc-
cesses which have attended the distinguished gallantry
and devotion of the combined forces in the Crimea.
"I sincerely thank you for your assurance of a deter-
mination, in which I am confident the great body of toy
people concur, to support me in the vigorous prosecution

of the war until, by the blessing of God on our own
efforts, and on those of our brave allies, it can be con-
cluded by a lasting and honourable peace.''
Sir F. G. Moon, Thrt, the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alder-
man Wire, the mover 'of the address, and Mr. Deputy
Dakin, the seconder of the address, had severally the
honour of being presented to her Majesty and kissing
hands. The corporation then retired from the presence
of the Queen.

in the quadrangle of the Castle:
After the reception of the address, the members of the
Corporation were ushered to the Music Gallery, where

DEATH OF MR. FREDERICK LUCAS, M.P.

We have to announce the death of Mr. Frederick
Lucas, M.P. for the county of Meath, an event which
has long been expected, and which took place yesterday
afternoon, at the residence of his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Ashby, at Staines. Frederick Lucas was the elder son
of Mr. Samuel Lucas, a worthy member of the Society
of Friends, formerly of Crohan, near Croydon, who has
now for many years resided in Brighton. He was
called to the Bar of the Middle Temple in Easter
Term, 1838, and in the following year became a member
of the Roman Catholic Church ; the grounds of his con-
version he gave to the world at the time, in the shape
of a pamphlet, called " Reasons for becoming a Roman
Catholic," especially addressed to the Society of
Friends. As a Roman Catholic barrister he took an
active part in the proceedings of the Catholic Insti-
tute, and started the Tablet newspaper in London, in
1840, for the purpose of disseminating the most ultra-
montane doctrines of his Church. He also was a frequent
contributor to the pages of the Dublin Review. In
1849 he removed the Tablet newspaper to Dublin, and
has continued to conduct it there since that time. He
was also one of the secretaries of the Irish Tenant
League dining the brief period of its existence. In
1852

of the Irish priesthood to interfere in politics, and being by the Irish Roman Catholic bishops, he went
to Rome, as our readers may remember, early in the
present year,. to prosecute his appeal against Dr. Cullen's
decision. The appeal was decided against him, and the
result ,was the entire prostration of Mr. Lucas's physi-
cal system, and his premature death at the early age of
43. Mr. Lucas was the brother-in-law of Mr. J. Bright,
the M.P. for Manchester.
