ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN.

BOSTON.
The Town Council of this borough have addressed
her Majesty under the Common Seal. A Tory at-
tempt to defeat the object of the meeting signally failed.
The address was adopted by 14 to 2, the mover and
seconder of the Tory amendment having no supporters.
A public meeting is summoned for this day (Monday)
for the same object.
The following is the address from the Council We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the
Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the ancient bo-
rough of Boston, in the county of Lincoln, in council
assembled, beg to present to your Majesty renewed as-
surances of our attachment to your person and autho-
rity, as the rightful Sovereign of the British empire:
And in addressing your Majesty on the present occa-
sion, we would express our high admiration of your
prompt and dignified rejection of the indecorous and of-
fensive requirement recently made ; to dismiss from
your Household those distinguished females who enjoy
your Majesty's affection and confidence ; a proposal
which if acceded to would have rendered your Majesty
little better than a prisoner in your own Palace, and
thus have placed the Sovereign of this gre'at Empire in
a situation morally inferior to that of the meanest cot-
tager in her dominions.

The satisfaction and pleasure with which we view this
spirited resistance on the part of your Majesty, of that
unconstitutional attack on your privileges, are further
enhanced by the knowledge that it has been the imme-
diate means of driving from your Majesty's Councils,
and the direction of the affairs of this empire, men hold-
ing principles subversive of the liberty and happiness' of
this country and the world--,principles which hare pro-
duced the most sanguinary and bloody wars—the-most
cruel oppression—a wasteful expenditure of the resources
of the country—and an enormous amount of taxation—
the weight of which is-now severely felt by most classes
of your Majesty's subjects. 'l--
We earnestly pray ypur Majesty to protect yourself
from similar attacks on your privileges, public and pri-
vate ; and thus also preserve the nation from anarchy,
by calling to your councils men who will honeslly, fear-
lessly, and steadily advocate and maintain the great
principles of liberty, civil and religious ; the education
of the people, without sectarian bias ; the thorough re-
form of all abuses, civil and ecclesiastical ; and seek by
all possible means to promote the prosperity and happi-
ness of all classes in your Majesty's dominions.
In conclusion, we beg to offer to your Majesty our
sincere congratulations on the return of your natal day,
and pray the great Disposer of events to grant to your
Majesty a long, prosperous, and happy reign ; and that,
when called on to lay down an earthly Crown, your
Majesty may receive a heavenly one which shall never
fade away.

The chivalrous enthusiasm of the people appears to
know no abatement ; and while it continues to manifest
itself in expressions of the most fervent, devoted loyalty
to her Majesty, a declaration is almost universally made
in favour of further Reform. Public meetings of most
of the municipalities, as our readers are aware, have
been held generally throughout the country, and the
inhabitants of those places whence addresses have not
already proceeded, with scarcely a single exception,
have signified their intention to congratulate the Queen
on the firmness she evinced in defending the Crown
against the Tory attempt to controul its prerogative.
Amongst those who are about conthig forward, we may
mention the men of
KRNDAL.--In compliance with a numerously and re-
spectably signed petition, the Mayor has appointed a
public meeting to be held at the Town-hail on Thurs-
daynext.

The SOUTHAMPTON Address soon obtained no less
than 500 signatures.
CliEsTEariliLD, resolved not to be thwarted by their
Tory Mayor—his Worship refused to call a public
meeting—drew up an address, which is numerously
signed.

The borough of BRECON, we perceive, will not be
behind the other principal towns of the kingdom in an
expression of loyalty ; the Mayor has fixed Tuesday
(this day) for a public meeting.
WORCESTER met last Friday, and adopted a congra-
tulatory address ; and, following in the footsteps of the
other municipalities that have expressed satisfaction
with her Majesty's recent decision, avows a determina-
tion not to rest satisfied with the present imperfect
Reform Bill. The address concludes in the following
words :—" Yet while we thus express our gratitude to
your Majesty, we will not dissemble our hope that the
career of improvement may still be persevered in, and •
that by an extension of all just and liberal measures to
all parts of the empire, your Majesty may secure the
unceasing support and affection of a loyal, grateful, and
applauding people."

- At TAUNTON, too, where a meeting was held on
Wednesday last to address her Majesty on the dignified
firmness exercised by her on the late occasion of the
resignation and recal of the Ministers, and to assure her
Majesty of devoted loyalty and attachment, a similar
statement was given expression to, as will be seen by
the foliowing passage extracted from the document :
" We trust there will now be neither doubt nor hesita-
tion in the policy, whether foreign or domestic, which,
as your Majesty's Ministers, they will scrupulously
follow out, convinced as we are that a progressive, and
not a retrograde movement in the national councils is
the only safeguard for the happiness, the peace, and
lasting security of our common country."
14E1ft:roan, on Tuesday last, addressed her Majesty,
echoing the general demand for further Reform. "We
humbly pray your Majesty (say the addressers) to call
to your Councils those Ministers only, who, while they
maintain the true dignity and honour of the Crown, and
the just privileges of the Sovereign, will firmly, earnestly,
and temperately carry out those great measures of
Reform which the nation confidently expected would
result from the operation of the Reform Bill, be con-
sistent with the daily-increasing intelligence and exi-
gencies of a free and an enlightened people, and form
the surest safeguard against the power of all enemies„
both at home and abroad." 1

Deptford fair commenced yesterday morning under
more auspicious weather than its twin sister Greenwich,
and the fair-goers have a fuller measure of amusement, fun,
and gaiety. The railroad affording such ready access, has
wonderfully improved the attendance, which is of vast im-
portance to many of the poorer inhabitants, who, since the
closing of the dock-yard, depend on their profits at the
fair to pay their trifling rents. Almost all the shows; which
were at Greenwich fair have removed to Deptford.
The London and 13irmingharn Railroad Com-
pany have issued a further notice, stating that s they
