raw Quiz".
It is sot.true. as stated in Tlis TIMIS ior reeler.;
day, that the Qom has taken Grafton-house, in
Piccadilly, for a town residence. The Doke of
Grafton was applied to on the subject, bat the pre-
pesitions made were not consistent with his views.
Her Majesty will positively take posmosios, as we
have stated, of the house of Lady Francis, which is
neat door to the mansion of Lord Castlereagh, in
St. James's-square. The house is lent to her Ma-
jesty gratuitously by Lady Francis. and is to be
held only as a temporary dwelling during the ap-
proaching proceedings in Parliament. Workmen
were yesterday busily engaged in preparing the
house for her Majesty's reception. The direct line
from St..lames's-stiotore to the Parliament House
is down Pall!niall, Cockopur-street, Charing-cross,
Whitehall, and Parli3ment-street. All the inha-
bitants of houses in this line are anziouwly solicited
for seats at their windows by their friends on Thurs-
day neat, amid large sums have been offered by
strangers for acconpuodlition. _
ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY.

Yesterday evening a very monstrous sad respectable meet-
ing of the parishioners of St. Leonard's, Shoreditek, took
pine in Sboreditch dottrels, for the purpose of considering
tbe propriety of addressing the Queen.
Mr. JENNINGS took the Chair at half-past five o'clock.
Mr. Saco said, it moist be gratifying to all friends of
liberty to see such numbers assembled together is vindication
of the Queen of those realms. Against the Queer a series
of old insults had been accumulated by 'bon who were par.
Ocularly booed to respect every branch of the Royal Fa.
lie concluded with moving a series of Resolutions
expressive of the congratulations of the meeting upon her
Majesty's arrival in this country—of their conviction of her
Majesty's Muoceoce—and their approbation of the conduct
of Alderman Moot in flying to her Majesty's relief.
The Rev. Mr. Pleuct rose to second the Reloolotiess.
He said there bad bees numerous meetings at the church
spun great public occasions, but not one upon so {moonset
a subject as that which brought them together is the present
insist:ice. hirelings bad there taken place against the undue
influence of the Crown, and against the desperate tratiosc•
Lions at Manchester; but those were of trivial importance
compared with the prosecution of her Majesty, sad the
meeting proved that they were not reluctant to come forward
even in a church to utter their sentiments upon an momen-
tous an occasion.
Mr. BLACKBURN agreed in the propriety of the present
Resolutions.—(llear, hear.)—He thought that even every
family should petition against the persecution of the Queen.
After a lung conversation the Resolutions were agreed to.
The paragraph in our Paper of yesterday, stating
that her MAJESTY had written a letter to the KING,
is correct. The letter was delivered to his MA-
JESTY at the Cottage near Windsor, early on
Wednesday morning. Eli. MAJESTY'S messenger
arrived with an answer at Brsndenburgh-house
about four o'clock of the same afternoon. The
QUEEN'S messenger was immediately dispatched to
Lord LIVERPOOL, and returned to Brandetiburgh-
house from his Lordship at ten o'clock at eight.
We have good authority for contradicting a pa-
ragraph which appeared in several papers, that her
Majesty the QUEEN was present at the review at
Hounslow on Friday last. Perhaps it may be right
to mention, that, when the QUEEN was proceeding
to Brandetiburgh.houre en the morning of that
day, her MAJESTY'S carriage and that of the Duke
of YORK passed each other near Kensington-gate.
)Jr. Sheriff PARKINS went to the Quack's resi-
dence at Bra eidriiburgh-honar, onWedneidsy, in or-
der to ascertain when her MAJCIITY would receive the
County Address. Lady HAMILTON, on being made
acquainted with the object of his tisk, doubted
whether her MAJESTY would feel herself able to
receive him on account of the recent death of the
Duchess. The Sheriff, therefore, sent in a note to
her MAJESTY; to which the QUEEN returned a
very gracious message by Lady ll•mivrox, ex.
pressing her regret that she could not then see the
Sheriff; and stating that she would, at the earliest
possible period alter the interment of the Ducliesi
of Volts, appoint a day for receiving the Address
from the county of 'Middlesex.
Olt Tuesday afternoon a communication was
made from the Secretary of State's Office to the
Police Magistrates, requesting that none of them
should be absent from town en the 17th instant.
This is as it should be, for it appears as if Govern.
oleo wished to place its dependence for the main-
tenance of the public peace in the civil force of the
country.

HIGHWAY HOBBERY.—Wednesday night, about eleven
o'clock, as Mr. Higginbotham, of No. 11, Sydney-row, C,arn-
berwelhroad, was returniug home from his beat fit club, he
was accosted within a few paces of his own dour, by a tall
mats, dresses! in hlack, who politely asked what the precise
bete of the night was. Mr. H. drew his watch out to 'lackey
the inquiry, hut as he held it up to the lamp, be "emitted a
sudden blow order the ear, which knocked him down, and
as the same instant his watch was .suatched. He gate rot
immediate alarm, and got up as sows as be could, bat his
sable iute►rogalor was gone.
A letter from Bangor, North Wales, dated the
sth inst., states the following dreadful accident :
" A most meloticludy misfortune occurred here this
morning; a ferry boat, from Anglerea, containing
twenty-two perst,nis, with their commodities for the
minket, upset a little above the town (I mean to.
wards Bangor), and all perished, save one matt, who
cacti ped by clinging to the side of the boat."
A shocking accident occurred lately, near the
Printfield, in the neighbourhood of Aberdeen, where
a yoking man, going with an empty cart to load
~,,, had taken seven children into hiss cart to gra.
iffy them with a howl. By some mismanagement,
as it is said. the bridle came out of the horse's
mouth. wheal finding himself thus disengaged, he
set off at a gallop; one gial succeeded in throw.
ing herself out un the road, with very little injury,
but the cart soon after overturning. the sole and
wheels separated. when the body of the cart was
dragged some distance with the children under it,
until it was stopped on coming on the ruins of an
old building. Ott raisittg up the cart to make the
'read discovery of the fate of the children, it was
found that five of them were variously cot and
bruised, two of them, boys. in such a shocking
manner as to leave little hope of their recovery.
They were conveyed to the hospital, whore one of
them had an erns amputated at the shoulder, and
there are some hopes he may recover; but the other,
who is dreadfully mutilated about the head, re.
mains in a doubtful situation.
