Nance had been given of the presentation of the
following Addresses to her Msltrtv; on the cloPie.
of the rase against her, viz.---Shitivry'Aliti, Mee
tropolitan, Bristol (male and female); printout!),
St. Catherine's (Tower). St. Jamie (Westinia-
Btu). Jedburgh (Scotland). Abergavermy, New-
castle-limier-Line, Cable (Wilts), and Chipping
Sodbary. The Address from Bristol was signed by
24.600 persons, and was presented by Sir R. wiz;
sort, in full uniform, with all the deconitiona of
Knights' Orders which he has received from the
different Courts of Europe. tier MAJESTY ex-
pressed peculiar satisfaction at the presentation
of this Address. The preparanoils fur carry-
ing up these expressions of sympathy in her
MAJESTY'S sufEtriogs. and attachment to her
Royal Person, were upon an extensive scale, and
required no small portion of time and labour;
and the cloy being uncommonly fine for the
season, and the expectations of the people of
all classes having been excited to the highest
pitch hr the reported numbers arid respectabi-
lity of the Deputations which were expected to
attend on the occesioo, the multitudes who were
drawn together from all parts to witness the dis-
play, exceeded all the assemblages we have wit-
nessed since the visit of the Allied Sovereigns to this
Capital, in 1814. The streets through which the
several processions were to Riss. and the road from
Hyde Park-corner to Brancleolourgh House,presented
the same animated scene which similar occasions have
of late so often conjured up, save that the windows,
the eqiiipsges of every description, and even the
throng which lined the wayside, seemed to went.
more earliest and joyous'appearance then on preced-
ing days. and were embellished with a brighter and
prouder display of !testily and elegance thatt we be-
fore remember to hive seen. A more perfect mil-
sou of sentiment, a more exalted tune of fine feeling,
or a more impressive burst or generous enthusiasm
on the part of a high-spirited people in favour of op-
pressed and persecuted innocence, we are convinced
gen never be displayed than was called forth from
the myriads who lined the whole of the route, as
each detachment of the several processions presented
itself to their view.
The first in order of presentation was the Address
from the Shipwrights, Caulkers, and various other
Artisans connected with ship-building in the Port of
London. II was attended by a processional column
ifbout 8,000 tine, sturdy, industrious mechanics
of the classes before named, all dressed in their
holiday clothes, and presenting all appearance of
neatness, cleirrilniess, and order, most interesting.
and impressive. Every man wore in his bosom ic
rosette or eockpole of white ribband, with a sprig of.
oak. They were attended by live very good bands
of music, and bore in their line a splendid aeries of
flags, harmers, and rootlets, of which the following

: ': The St. James's deputation having retired. the
procession with the Address from the Married Le-
: dies and the Gentlemen of the Metropolis, voted at
the meeting at the Freemasons' Tavern this day
week, next presented itself.
This was by far the moat numerous and respect-
able of all the cavalcades which have yet gone op.
T he procession, consisting of ISO carriagee and four,
fell in at the Freemasons' l'avern, Greet Queen-
street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, at eleven o'clock,
passing through Drary-lane into Russell-rues t
and Catherine-street, through the Strand, Pall-
mall, St. James-street. and Piccadilly, the pro-
cession, after labouring through countless multi-
tilde's, 'hid) lined the road throughout the whole
distance. arrived at Brandenbureli House at %blot
two o'clock. Olie hour and a half was occupied in
letting down ; the roous was by that tone crowded
almost to the doors.
Her Majesty shor'lv made her appt--arsnee, at-
tended by Aldermen Wood, Mr. flume. Sir IL
Wilson, together with Lade A. Hamilton soul the
Gentlemen of the Household. whose names are so
well known as not to nerd iepetitioo. tier Ma-
jesty took an elevated station itt the higher end
of the' room ; she was dressed in white, the
body of her robe being looped up at the shoulders,
and girt round the arms with gold lace. tier Majesty
wore also is rich spangled Turkish veil. .which was
rolled thickly round her neck—a tiara of pure
gold, studded with small gems. surrounded her
brow. She appeared in extraordinary healih and
spirits. Mr. Hublinuse. the whole assemblege of
ladies being imlnediately at his hack, proceeded to
iezati the Address. This being finished. her Majesty
directed A Iderman Wood to' read the Answer. The
company ware then ellawed to kis• hands and retire.
When they were off the ground, the deputation
from the parish of Stepney succeeded. The Ad-
dress, Answer, and other ceremonies, occupied the
rest of the day. The road to Loudon continued
till a late hour unusually thronged with carriages
and foot passenger..
Willi much pain and regret, but without the small-
est degree of surprise,-when we consider the vast
numbers assentblerl, we observed the spirit of mis-
chief which displayed itself among the crowds
which forced their way into the shrubberies and on
the lawn towards the river. The damage done to the
shrubs. plants, flowers. and fences, was immense;
and from die force and violence of the pressure, at
times, we were under serious apprehensions of more
lamentable consequences. We heard of two serious
accidents. one of which was occasioned by the
imprudence of the sufferer, a person of respect.,
able appearance, who was eiteleavoering to ascend
one of the barouches in the St. Cathiniue's proem.
'lion, for the purpose of riding behind it, the horses
then going at a smart trot, was precipitated between
the wheels, and mangled ins most shucking manner.
The other occurred in the following manner
After the Shipwrights and Caulkers had presented
their Address. and about the time that the. Metro-
arillitan Deputation were bring introduced toterll t4ty.' a boy, stipsVently between the age of leis

dragged in ibis sitgation with the rapidity of light-
cum across the field, which was covered with car-
riages. The animal ran between the vehicles where-
ever he could find au opening, and the buy's head
was dashed to atoms ageism the wheels. The parents
of the indurtunste child are poor persons, resident

Iler Majesty returned the following gracious An-
swer to the Metropolitan Address
am deeply impressed by this affectionste—this animated
and animating Address from the Ishalsitants of Leaden,
ifestinimitcr, and Suutbsteck. l am glad to find that the
sacred principles of liberty ate su well understood, so gene-
rally embraced, and au cordially cherished in this great int-
ircrpitkis. Frosts this enlightened centre of free sentiment the
patriotic feeling Jess vibrated to the very extremity of the
kingdom. limy misfortunes have excited this generous se-
dum in favour of all that tends to reader the nation great, or
the people happy ; I rejoice that I have.been nafortunote.
If .my sronga nail indignities shall give greater security to
the rights, and more lustre to the 'km y of Britain, by de.
thlethag from the public stuck of eireeption on the one hood,

I shall lung remember with satisfaction the day seise* the
Quees was treated with insult and with scorn. Freedom

; priceet.which British freedom was to be purchased, I would
rather p4y it in my own, sufferings, than that it should be
paid in, the +mil...rings of the people.
