We have beheld your Royal Highness weeping, in your
Royal Daughter's early infancy, over the sudden and oulatnitous
bereavement of a Royal Father's and a Royal Husband's di-
recting and protecting aid and love ; and" we have seen your
Royal Highness rising from amidst your tears to undertake the
affecting and arduous task of supplying, by redoubled cares and
affectionate devotion, the bereaved Royal Infant's parental loss.
From the cradle to the Crown, by night and by day, yciii
Royal Highness has watched over your Royal Charge with,

TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS OF

---_ _-- --
KENT.
The Humble Address of the Members of the Reform ASSQ-
ciation of the Borough of Beverley, and East Riding of the
County of York.
May it please your Royal Highness,
We, the Members of the Reform Association of the Boraugh
of Beverley and East Riding of the County of York, Humbly
beg to offer to your Royal Highness, our affectionately dutiful
congratulations on the nationally-joyful, and nat;ually-benefi-
cial occasion of your Royal Daught r's union in fnarriage with
his Royal Highness the Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg Gotha.
To your Royal Highness, as the sole surviving parent of a
Royal child, as the Royal mother of otr., Sovereign Ruler, we
earnestly give utterance to our deem', sympathising, our in-
wardly ardent congratulations, that your Royal Highness should
have enjoyed the two-fold happiness• of beholding the ascent of
your Royal daughter to a powerful throne, and her Royal union,
in marriage with an illustrious and wisely chosen Consort, '
worthy alike of her Royal best affections, and of her peoples .
high regard.
In sympathising gladness we, moreover, cordially rejoice that
. your Royal Highness should have fully learnt from the nation's
unanimous acclaim how deeply and gratefully are acknowledged
those Royal educational influences and Royal parental auspices
under which your Royal daughter has ascended her Imperial
Throne.
Emanating from beneath your Royal Highness's guardian '
love and care, in your Royal daughter, our Most Excellent So-
vereign Ruler, we behold that an instinctively noble, able, and ,'
generous mind has been carried beyond toe bounds of a me-
chanical acknowledgement of the forms, into a practical raver- 1
ence for the spirit of our national freedom.
And that in its practical perceptions of religion the Royal
Mind has not been shackled within the narrow compass of mere
external rituals, but has been expanded into that universal
charity, that meekly forbearing universal benevolence, which
we believe to be the very essence of that religion which the Di-
vine Founder of our Christian faith so solemnly inculcated.
In practical illustration of the inculcated and spontaneous
disposition of our reverenced Sovereign's mind to open honesty
and fearless purity of purpose, ae, with enthusiastic admiration
have beheld that even in the treatment of State politics her
glorious Majesty disdains to tolerate State guile.
In fine, we earnestly believe, and to our belief give grateful
utterance, that there exists not on the earth a parent who could
more conscientiously or tenderly, more assiduously or auspi-
ciously, have presided over the infant veers and opening youth
of a paternally orphaned Royal child, than did so ably and faith-
fully your Royal Highness.
We hail at once as national blessings the gifted talents And
tender guardianship of the Royal mother, and the generous',
emulation, the vividly rapid perceptions of the Imperial daugh-
ter, as eliciting in their result the dignified enlightenmeat of
the actual Sovereign of these realms.
We hail with grateful acclamation the mutually reflected
lustre of the Royal preceptnr and the Sovereign pupil, thus
emulatively pursuing a course of preparation for the Throne,
magnanimous and wise, as eminently calculated to con-
duce, most largely to your Royal daughter's real
glory, her inward happiness, and rich renown, in
time existent and in time to come ; as. it was glo-
riously designed to shed amid surrounding nations, new splen-
dour on the British throne, new happiness upon that British
people with whose name and tame your Royal highness, and
conspicuously your Royal daughter, have happily now become
so intimately and lastingly identified.
That a rewarding Providence may bountifully gift your Royal.
Highness with every blessing in time and in eternity ; that no
tears may ever from your Royal Highness flow but tears of joy
—tears of admiring maternal sympathy for the• all-absorbing
object of your Royal Highness's tenderest cares and only wishes.
That speedily restored and permanently established health,
with steadily continued happiness, may shed a soothing in-
fluence, a cheerful lustre, upon your Royal Highness through a
long and happily extended life,
Do earnestly pray all those, who now approach your Royal
Highness with this their humbly devoted and congratulatory
Address.

Given in the name and on the behalf of the Members of the
Reform Association of the Borough of Beverley, and East
Riding of the County of York, by the hereunder cigned
acting President, Vice-Presidents, and other office bearers.

DEATH IN THE WESTMINSTER BRIDEWELL.
—.Wednesday an inquest was held before Mr. Gell, the Coroner
for Westminster, at the New Bridewell, Tothill-fields, to ascertain
the circumstances attending the death of Thomas Grice, a very
fine old man, aged seventy-four. It appeared that the de-
ceased was a carver and gilder, and on the `.6th of February
was remanded by Mr. Twyford from Bow-street on a charge of
stealing four picture-frames, the property of Mosses. William
Luck and Co. The deceased at the time of his admission did
not complain of illness, but on the 3d of March he was seized
with a bowel complaint, of which he died on Tuesday last, the
day on which he was to have been taken to Bow-street. Mr.
Laurie, the surgeon to the prison, read from his diary, which,
by a recent Act, is kept in English, and net in Latin as before,
the treatment under which the deceased was placed, and wit
which the Jury expressed themselves highly satisfied. Thiele
have been but two inquests in the prison during the last six
months.

SINGULAR SULCIDE OF A BOY.—On Wed-
nesday an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley, DI. P., at the
Six Bells Tavern, King's-road, Chelsea, on the body of Thomas
Pepper, a boy fourteen years of age. It appeared from the
evidence that deceased, whose father was employed at the
Anchor brewery in the neighbourhood, had been in service for
two years at the above tavern as potboy. On Thursday last he
ate his dinner with hip usual spirits, after which he was never
again seen alive. He was found hanging in an arbour in the
garden, after a lapse of two er three days. In his pockets were
found two sovereigns and a-half, which could not have been his
own property. Deceased, on one occasion, about four years
ago, having been chastised by his mother and locked up in a
room, was found nearly dead, having twisted a rope round his
neck. The Coroner said there could be no doubt there was a
maleonformation of the deceased's brain, and that he could net
have been in a sane state of mind when he committed the set.
verdict " Insanity."

NEW TEAM-BOAT PIERS.—A new pier and
jetty is to be erected at Southwark Bridge, for the accommo-
dation of steam-boat passengers. A new steam-boat piss- is
being formed at Lower Shadwell, a short distance from the
lower entrance of the London Docks, and the Greenwich
steamers will call there to land and embark passengers as they
pass up and down the river.
