INVITATION OF HER MAJESTY AND THE

QUEEN DOWAGER.
The LORD MAYOR took his seat at noon precisely
when the officer read the minutes relative to the late ad.'
dress of congratulation carried up to her Majesty on her
accession to the throne, and also that of condolence to the
Queen Dowager on her bereavement.
The Court then proceeded to consider the report of the
Committee appointed "to consider the best mode the
Court could adopt to show their respect to her Majesty
on her accession to the throne."
The report of the Committee formed for the above pur
pose was then read. It set forth that having referred to
precedents relative to addresses to the throne on such oc-
casions, tilt.), were of opinion that it would be a proper tes-
timonial of respect to send another address, humbly re-
questing that her Majesty would condescend to honour
the citizens of London by granting her Royal presence at
the Guildhall to a dinner to be provided on the occasion at
such time as her Majesty might think proper to appoint.
The motion that the report be adopted having been se-
conded and carried unanimously,
Mr. FLETcHER moved that the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs,
Remembrancer, and a Deputation of their own hoe.), wait
upon her Majesty to ascertain whether she would• conde-
scend to accept the invitation, and in case she so conde-
scended, that the Lord Mayor and the san•,e Deputation
also wait upon the Queen Dowager, and request that slat)
would accompany her Majesty.
This proposition was carried unanimously, and the Court
proceeded to routine business.

Mr. Garnett's party, however, claim the majority.
A riot took place in the morning, but ceased before the
arrival of the military, who were called in.

The terms of a commercial treaty, upon the prin-
ciples of reciprocity, between Great Britain and Holland, are'
said to be finally arranged, and will be formalll..
stated as
soon as the ratifications have been exchanged.
A gipsy woman of the name of Taylor was examined.
yesterday at the Marylebone police office on suspicion of being
concerned in the murder of Eliza Davis, the barmaid at Mr.
Wadley's, the King's Head, Frederick-street, Itegent's.park.
The only grounds on which she was taken into custody ap-.
peared to be that she had been known to frequent that neigh-
bourhood telling fortunes, and had been talking with the mur-
dered woman, who, it was well known, was credulous enough
to place reliance upon the predictions of apostates of this de-
scription. There was no evidence whatever, tending to fix
any knowledge of the murder upon the gipsey woman, and
the magistrates ordered her to be discharged.

Joseph, this place is as hot as an oven." " Well," quoth
Gillon, " and is it not here that I made my bread."—Lock-

IMPROVEMENT 05' TRADE.--We are happy to
state that the favourable symptoms of a revival of trade con-
tinue to exhibit themselves still more satisfactorily. The
manufactures in general have commenced to do a little, and we arc glad to hear the sound of the shuttle now in various
parts of the town. We trust that the anticipation. that the
revival of the trade will be as sudden as its declension, will be
realized ; still, some time must elapse ere our numerous nia
nufacturing population can be entirely employed.—Kilmar-

Yesterday the Duke of Devonshire gave a most
magnificent dejeune a la fourchette at the Burlington villa,
Chiswick, to his Excellency the Count Orloff 'and the other
Foreign Ministers and their ladies, the Duke 'and Duchess
of Sutherland, and all the great families remaining in town.
On Tuesday afterroon, the Dart, a Gravesend
boat, was proceeding up the river, when just above Lime-
house Reach she came in contact with the Nile, a Greentrleli
boat. The concussion was so great that the whole of the
starboard paddle-box, together with the machinery, was com-
pletely carried away, and the vessel rendered a there wreck.
Fortunately, the Gipsy, another Greenwich boat, was close
in the wake of the IVile when the concussion took place. The
passengers of the latter were, therefore, transferred to her,
and the Gipsy landed them, more frightened than hurt,
within ten minutes over time. It is impossible to say to whom
the blame attaches.
Yesterday (Friday) another melancholy accident
occurred at the railway works near Reading. At the inclined
plane, where the waggons filled with earth, by their descent
on one line, draw up the empty train on the other, it is the
duty of the man descending with the full waggons to detach
them from the rop.eocbyhi means

and the first waggon turning over on him, crushed his chest
in a frightful manner; he now lies at the dispensary in a dan-

A few days since, one of the workmen who was
employed on the roof of h house in Sergeant's Inn, Chancery-
lane, the fluori' of every room of which had been removed.
suddenly fell through into the cellar beneath, a heigbt, of
Ta.,arly forty feet. Some persons who had witnessed the acci-
dent initneiliately ran to the man's assistance, and he was car-
ried into the coffee-house adjoining, when, on some brandy
being poured down his throat, he recovered his senses, and
walked away as if no accident had occurred,
