The following was the address :
" To Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, and the Dominions thereunto be-
longing.
" May it please the Queen,
" We, thy dutiful and loyal subjects, members of the Reli-
giOus Society of Friends, commonly called Quakers, and re-
presenting that body in Great Britain and Ireland, are de-
sirous to take the earliest opportunity of thus expressing our
cordial and faithful attachment to our Queen.
\Ve sincerely feel the loss of our late beloved Monarch
King William the Fourth. We look back upon his reign as
a period of. no Common importance in the history of our calm-
try, marked as it has been by the extension of civil and reli-
gious liberty, by mercy and compassion to the guilty, and by
the recognition of the rights of our enslaved fellow-subjects.
\Ve rejoice in these features of his Government as evidences
of the increasing sway of Christian principle in, the legisla-
tion of our country.
" Under feelings of thankfulness to Almighty God, we
offer to thee, our Queen, on thy accession to the Throne of
peacethese rael
barmsour o

cul gttl
ar
ta
home.ation s oNni a theynothing prevalence
bep per-
mitted milled to intercept these blessings, and may the conviction
more and more prevail that war is alike unchristian and im.
politic.

" Convinced as we are that the religion of Jesus Christ,
our Lord and Redeemer, is the only foundation for the true
happiness of man and the prosperity of a people, and that it
is the sacred bulwark to any Government, our prayer to God
is that it may be the stability of thy throne, and may influence
all the deliberations of thy council.
" Be pleased, 0 Queen, to accept our earnest and heart-
felt desire that thou mayest seek for heavenly wisdom to
enalle thee to fulfil the arduous duties which, in the ordering
of Divine Providence thou art thus early called to perform.
Mayest thou live in the fear of God, and may He incline thy
heart to keep His law, and richly endow thee with the graces
of His Holy Spirit, and, at length, when the days of thy de-
legated trust on earth are ended, mayest thou, through the
mercy of God, in Christ Jesus, enter upon an inheritance in.
corruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away,"
Her Majesty returned the following gracious answer to the
Address :

" I thank you for your condolence upon the death of his
late Majesty, for the justice which you render to his charac-
ter and to the measures of his reign, and for your warm con-
gratulations upon my accession to the Throne.
" I join in your prayers for the prosperity of my reign ; the
best security for which is to be found in reverence for our
holy religion, and in the observance or its duties."

The Rev. John Clayton, jun., read the address from the
general body of Dissenting ministers of the metropolis. The
Queen returned a gracious answer, and all the members of
the deputation had the honour to kiss hands.

After this address had been delivered, the'body of Pro.
testant Dissenting Ministers of the Presbyterian denomination
residing in and about the cities of London and Westminster,
sho had formerly been accustomed to address jointly with the
Independents and Baptists, as a portion of the general body
of Dissenting Ministers of the three denominations, were now
admitted to present, on their own behalf, a separate address
her Majesty on the Throne.

That Address was couched in the fiAlowing- terms
To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty.
Most Gracious Sovereign,
4, we, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects,the Protes.
tant Dissenting Ministers of the Presbyterian Denomination,
in and about the Cities of London and Westminster, humbly
approach your Royal presence, to express our sincere condo-
lence with your Majesty upon the demise of your Royal uncle,
our late revered and 'beloved Sovereign, together with our
heartfelt congratulations upon the happy accession of your
Majesty to the throne of these realms.
" We have ever felt devoutly thankful to the Divine Provi-
dence, that, during several successive generations, tktse
domes have been placed by the Omnipotent Ruler under the
mild and beneficent sway of Princes ni your Majesty's august
Family,—by whom the liberties of the people have beer, en-
larged and confirmed, the
P_ moral character of the natirm has
been exalted, anti O
power and prosperity, the wealth and
1140',11,icgS of th.;?. kingdom have been promoted beyond all
example. And we are impelled by gratitude to neknowledp:,e,
in particular, the blessings enjoyed by the country during the
reign of firs late lamented Majesty, in the preservation of
pea:•c, 016 wise and timely reform of sonic of our national in-
stitutions, and the extension of religious liberty, by which the
condition of your Majesty's Protestant Dissenting subjects
especially has bOen greatly improved.
" When we Call to remembrance your Majesty's Royal de-
scent-when we reflect upon the character of the Prince, your
Majesty's ever-to,be-lamented father, whose virtues, public
and private, em!eared him to the British people, and to no
portion of them more than the Protestant Dissenters—when
we consider that your Majesty's early years were nurtured by
the enlightened and vatrtotte eounselsi and the moral and reli-

pious instructions of your il.l.l4:t.rious mother, whom we have
been accustomed to regard as a pattern of conjugal and mater-
nal excellence—and when we hear in mind your Majesty's
gracious languarr'e in your first speech before your Privy Coun-
cil, which has diffused general satisfaction and joy amongst
your subjects, we entertain the firm and cheering persuasion
that your Majesty's reign will be just and beneficent, honour-
able to your Majesty, and glorious to your people.
" We have seen with deep affaction and lively sympathy
IptiT Majesty's pious declaration of reliance upon the Divine Providence for support and guidance ; and we humbly join
our supplications with those of your Majesty and of the whole
.kingdom, on your Majesty's behalf. May the Supreme Bone-
- faCtor, the Father of Mercies, grant that on your head the
Crown may flourish, and that, during your auspicious reign,
peace may lac! preserved with all nations, tranquillity may be
,Z.aj,:ved at home, and &lull rights and lihertiza may knit the
hearts all your Majesty's subjects in love to your Majesty
and to one another. May tliz.! King of kings take tour Majesty
under his Aln;.;,ghty protection, shield tialk from dangers, re-
7our fe and
plenish you with t.:11 gifts and graces, arid prolong.
reign to a far-distant period, and cause your happiness a;
Queen to be constantly growing, in the spontaneous loyalty,
the cordial affection, and the generous confidence of all classes
and denominations of your Majesty's subjects ; until, in the
course of the Divine Providence, and in fulfilment of the
Divine grace, your Majesty shall be translated from earthly to
heavenly felicity and glory."
To which her Majesty was pleased to give the following
ffrt,:cious answer
thank you for your condolence upon the death of the
late King, and for your congratulations upon my accession.
~ I am much gratified by
the feelings which you express to-
wards former Sovereigns of my family, and more particularly
towards his late Majesty.
,‘ I am actuated by the same principles, and you may always
rely zipon receiving at my hands that protection which is so
justly due to you."
The address was read by the Rev. Robert Aspland, who,
after her Maj.:?sty had read her answer, had the honeur to kiss
her Majesty's band. Dr. Rees, acting as the honorary secre-
tary of the body, afterwards presented to her Majesty the other
members present, vho had all the honour to kiss her Majesty's

hand. -
The Queen held a Privy Council, at which all the Ministers
present at the reception of the addresses were present.
At the Council the com;ideration of the change of the Royal
Arms (omitting the arms of Hanover) was referred by the
Queen to a Committee .of the whale Council.
Sir William Woods, Deputy Garter Principal King of Arms,
attended by Mr. Young, York Herald, attended, and submit-
ted to her Majesty in Council a design for the Royal Arms to
be borne by her Majesty.
The Hon. William Bathurst was the Clerk of the Council
in Waiting.
Her Majesty gave audiences to the Marquis of Lansdowne,
the Marquis Conyngham, the Earl of Mulgrave, Viscount
Melbourne, and Viscount Palmerston.
Her Majesty and suite afterwards returned to the new Palace.
The body of Protestant Dissenting Ministers of the Presby-
terian denomination, after presenting their address to the
Queen, went to Buckingham Palace, and presented a congra-
tulatory address to the Duchess of Kent.
The Address and Answer were to the following effect :
" To her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent.
" May it please your Royal Highness,
" We, the Protestant Dissenting Ministers of the Presby-
teriao denomination, in and about the cities of London and
Westit.inster, beg permission to approach your Royal High-
ness vntL? our sincere and heartfelt congratulations on the
happy aceeosion of your Royal daughter, her Majesty, our be-
loved. Queert, to the throne of these realms.
" We account it a signal blessing to her Majesty, and the
nation, that she succeeds a Sovereign, his late lamented Ma-
jesty, her Royal uncle, whose wise, liberal, and beneficent go-
vernment strengthened the throne by drawing around it the
affections and the confidence of the people.
" We trust we may be alowed to assure your Royal High-
ness that the Protestant Dissenters of England sympathised
deeply with you in the great affliction which, by the ?myste-
rious but ever-merciful will of Divine Providence, you were
called, many years ago, to bear. A nation's grief was excited
by the premature death of a Prince who had endeared himself
to all classes by his virtues, who set a rare and magnanimous
example, in one born to Royal honours, of unwearied devotion
to philanthropic pursuits, and who always acted in public life
upon the conviction that the brightest lustre of the Crown is
reflected from the freedom and happiness of the people. Some
alleviation it was of the universal sorrow that his ever-to-be-
lamented Royal Highness bequeathed to his country a daugh-
ter; and that that daughter was placed under the maternal eye
of your Royal Highness.
" Believing, Madam, that you have sacredly discharged the
momentous trust devolved upon you in the vicissitudes of hu-
man life, we tender you our humble gratitude for having prepared
your illustrious daughter, now the rightful Sovereign of the Bri-
tish isles, to do'honour to her Royal lineage. Our prayers, as
ministers of the Gospel, shall be constantly offered fur the pre-
servation
of her invaluable life, the stability of her throne, and
the success of her Government, in the maintenance of peace,
the encouragement of virtue, and the equal diffusion amongst
all her subjects of the blessings of civil and religious
liberty. With her Majesty's name we shall unite that
of your Royal Highness at the Throne of the Divine
Grace, beseeching the Supreme Disposer of events that you
may be spared for many years to behold the accomplishment
of your maternal wishes, and to receive the reward of your
virtuous and pious labours, in the felicity and honour of her
Majesty, our most Gracious Queen, for whom your Royal
Highness can desire no greater earthly blessing than that she
may long live and reign in the affections of an intelligent, free
and united people."
HER ROYAL. HIGHNESS'S ANSWER.
" I receive with grateful and gratified feelings your Ad-
dress. That which you presented to me, at a moment of the
deepest affliction, I have never ceased to value.
" This is a bright epoch in my life ; it sheds over its close
every feeling that a mother and a subject can prize."
Her Majesty had a dinner party at the new Palace on
Thursday. Among the company were their Serene High-
nesses the Duke of Saxe Meiningen, Prince Ernest of Hesse
Philipsthal, and Prince and Princess of Lciningen, the Duke
and Duchess of Leinster, the Marchioness of Tavistock, Earl
of Surrey, Lord and Lady Templemore, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer and Miss Spring Rice, Hon. Miss Ea, Sir Robert
Otway and Colonel Cavendish.
The Marquis of Lansdowne presented two addresses to the
Queen on Wednesday, after the Levee at St. James's, from
the Corporation of Truro and from the Bath and West of
England Society.
