ADDRESS to the QUEEN DOWAGER.

The following address from the body of Ministers of
the Presbyterian Denomination residing in and about
the cities of London and Westminster, was presented
to her Majesty the Queen Dowager at Bushy on Sa-
turday last by a Deputation appointed for that purpose.
TO THE QUEEN DOWAGER'S EXCELLENT
MAJESTY.

MAT IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY,
We, the Protestant Dissenting Ministers of the Presby-
terian denomination, in and about the cities of London an'
Westminster, beg leave to approach your Majesty's pre-
sence, in order to express our sincere condolence• with
your Majesty on the irreparable bereavement wllich you
have sustained, by the decease of his late lamented .Ma-
jesty, our revered and beloved Sovereign.

In common with all his late Majesty's subjects we deeply
lament the loss of a King, whose reign has procured for
him the title of a Just and Beneficent Ruler, the Father of
his, People.

While all classes and denominations unite in the expres-
sion of solemn respect and lively gratitude towards the me-
mory of his late excellent Majesty, we, as a body of Pro-
testant Dissenters, feel called upon to put in our claim for
peculiar loyalty and affection, on account of the laws passed
by his Majesty for the extension of our liberties, and the im-
provement of our social, civil, and political condition.
We would humbly suggest to your Majesty that you
have abundant sources of consolation in the princely virtues
of his deceased Majesty, which as they drew around him
the prayers and benedictions of his subjects throughout his
vast kingdom, have also, we hope and trust, secured the
favour and blessing of the Almighty King of Kings, who
alone bath immortality.

May we represent to your Majesty, that you have the
satisfaction and comfort of reflecting that you contr7buted
largely to the happiness and honour of his late Msjesty, by
your conjugal fidelity and kindness, and that last hours
were supported and soothed by your Christ lan fortitude,
and watchful, sleepless affection.

Our prayers, as ministers of the Gospel of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ, shall not fail to ascend before the
Throne of the Divine GracC, on your Majesty's' behalf,
that you may ba upheld in your affliction, and comforted
in your sorrow, by the blessing of the Heavenly Father—
that peace and happiness and honour may attend you all
your days upon Earth—and that when ail things temporal
shall pass away, you may be re-united to our departed King
and Benefactor, in the immoveable, eternal Kingdom.

HER MAJESTY'S ANSWER.

CENTLI;MIEN,

I feel deeply sensible of the motive which has called forth
this welcome tribute of sympathy on the heavy calamity
with which it has pleased Almighty God to afflict me, in
common with the whole British empire, by the death of our
late beloved King, my Royal consort. Although deeply
and conscientiously attached to the doctrines and discipline
of the Established Church, the whole tenour of the late
King's reign is an evidence of his desire to satisfy the just
claims of all religious bodies of every denomination ; and it
is a source of heartfelt Comfort to me in this hour of
bitter affliction to witaestk the expression of gratitude
which has been unanimously rendered by all cla3ses of sos
ciety to one of the best and most patriotic of Sovereigns.
I thank you for your kind expressions towards Innelf,
and feel grateful for the prayers which you offer up for my
support under my present bereavement to that Power,
from whom alone can proceed present consolation or fu-
ture happiness.

Mr. Timothy Curtis winds up the Blandford corres-
podcnee by a letter to be found in another column. It seems
he only published the correspondence which appeared in the
Times of the 21st, and had no connection, directly or indirectly,
with the article of the Times of the 11th inst. We think that
Mr. Timothy Curtis, having the honour to hold "the high public
situation" of Governor of the Bank of England, has acted
wisely in disclaiming all share in the publication of the article
in question ; ani we think, moreover, even if he did not bold
that " high public situation," he would still be acting wisely in
publishing such a disclaimer ; for the declaration of the Mar-
quis of Blandford, that he had communicated the correspon-
denee only to two persons; one of whom could not have crAn-
municated with the Times, the other being Mr. Timothy Curtis
himself, certainly did attach not a little suspicion to him.
However, it is but fair to add that he had already declared to
the Noble Marquis that he had no share in the publication in
the Times of the 11th. The mystery, therefore, remains still
to be explained who could have supplied the Times with the
information, the Marqiiis of Blandford having. declared that
Mr. Timothy Qdrtit alone was possessed of that information.._.

We are requested to contradict a statement, which
appeared in Vie Sun of yesterday under the head " Boston,"
to the effect that Sir James Duke pledged himself to the
electors to endeavour to get the Poor Law repealed, and that
it was owing to this pledge he obtained hiselection. Sir James
merely Stated
that there were some things in the Law in ques-
tion of which he disapproved, such as the prohibition of all
out-door rill: 1, and the separation of aged couples; but that,
generally speaking, he approved of the Poor Law.
