ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.

THE WORKING CLASSES AND THE COR-
PORATION OF HULL.

On Saturday, the 15th, a public meeting of the inhabi-
tants of Hull was held in the Town-hall, for the purpose
of addressing her Majesty on her Marriage with Prince
Albert—the May& in the chair.
The following resolution, proposed by the Rev. H. N.
Burrows, and seconded by Mr. Wade, was carried unani-
mously :—" That Congratulatory Addresses be presented
to the Queen and Prince Albert on their marriage."
Mr. Jalland then read an Address, which he proposed
to be adopted. It was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Strat-
ten, when an amendment was proposed by Mr. Lambert,
and seconded by Mr. Ward, in which the word " Protes.
tant" was inserted before Prince Albert, and which
" pledged the lives and properties of the people to
defend her Majesty in upholding the Constitution "
in its integrity, in Church and State. A second
Amendment was proposed by Mr. Peck, on behalf of
the Working Classes, in the shape of a Congratulatory
Address to her Majesty, and which also prayed her Ma-
jesty to grant an amnesty to all political offenders, " and
especially that her Majesty will be pleased to grant her
Royal Pardon to John Frost, Zephaniah Williams,
and William Jones, now in the hulks at Portsmouth,"
which was seconded by Mr. Wilde.
The Mayor then took a show of hands, and declared the
last Address carried by an immense majority.
A similar Address to Prince Albert was then agreed to,
the Mayor undertaking to present them at the next Levee.
The following is the Address agreed to

" To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty.
" The Humble Address of the undersigned inhabitants of
Hull and its neighbourhood, in public meeting assem-
bled.
" Most Gracious Sovereign,—We, your Majesty's most
dutiful and loyal subjects, claiming a Briton's dearest pri-
vilege, beg leave respectfully to approach the Throne, and,
with sentiments of devotion and attachment, to offer to
your Majesty our sincere and heartfelt congratulations on
the auspicious occasion of your Majesty's alliance in mar-
riage with Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha.
Be assured, most gracious Sovereign, that an event so
important in its results, not only to the interests of this
great empire, by your Majesty's domestic happiness, calls
forth the liveliest feelings of sympathy in every loyal and
patriotic breast; and we beg to assure your Majesty of our
ardent and continued prayers to the King of Kings for the
divine blessing upon your Majesty's union.
" Amidst all the cares and anxieties which your Majesty
must experience as the head of a great nation, may your
Majesty ever find a solace in the love and affection of your
Royal Consort ; may domestic bliss, the greatest of all
earthly blessings, make the Crown of England sit light
upon your royal brow ; and may your Majesty ever live in
the affections of a devoted and grateful people ; may peace
and prosperity adorn your Majesty's reign ; and may health,
long life, and every happiness be vouchsafed to your Ma-
jesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert.
" And, while we thus pray for blessings on your head, we
humbly implore your Majesty to make millions of your
Majesty's loyal subjects happy, by granting a general am-
nesty for all political offences; and especially we pray that
your Maje ty will grant a full and free pardon to John
Frost, Zephaniah Williams, and William Jones, now in the
hulks at Portsmouth.

" And the prayers of a grateful and affectionate people
will rise to Heaven for your continued happiness."

(From Bell's Life in London.)—" The uni-
versal testimony borne by our numerous friends, as well as by
our Daily Contemporaries, to the surpassing excellence of our
Pictorial Illustrations of her Majesty's Nuptials last week, and
the great demand for extra copies of our paper of February 16,
have induced us to print a second edition, which will be on sale
till the end of March, and may be had of any agent ; or by
sending a letter to the office, enclosing a sixpence, a copy, or
more, of Bell's Life in London wil be sent by return of post.
This is one of the great advantages under the new postage act ;
and at all times this means may be adopted of getting copies of
our Journal, provided the order is given before the day of pub-
lication." Office of Bell's Life in London, 170 Strand.

The Wedding Observer of February 16 was two
sheets, price 10ds One shilling in an envelope, directed to
Mr. Clement, jun., 170, Strand (not prepaid), will insure a
eopy by return of general or penny post to any part of the
Unites' Kingdom. This is one of the great advantages under
the new Postage Act, we having ourselves received, over our
usual number, more than three thousand letters ordering extra
Observers during the last week. The two sheets of the Ob-
server contained 48 long folio columns—viz., 14 columns of the
royal marriage and matters connected therewith, and 6 columns
(a folio page) of superior engravings ; 7 columns of particulars of
the house of Saxe Coburg, and a memoir of his Royal Highness ;
10 columns comprising an epitome of 972 illuminations ; and
11 columns of miscellaneous and advertisements. This Observer
of Feb. 16 will be kept on sale until the end of March.

corabe's proposition for relieving Dissenters from the payment

Gazette.
COOPER'S NEW ROMANCE, " THE PATH-
FINDER."—TheIovers of exciting adventure and romance wiil
be anxious to Isee Cooper's forthcoming Story, " The Path-
finder ; or, the Inland Sea," wherein his favourite character,
" Leatherstocking," will again be put in action. The scene
is chiefly on the waters of Lake Ontario, a magnificent loca-
lity for the exercise of the great novelist's power in describing
nautical incidents. The vast inland seas of America aru at
once new to fiction, and peculiarly congenial to the genius of
the Author of " The Pilot" and " The Red Rover.'
From Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen-waters,
Hertz, to Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle-street,
Piccadilly :—Gentlemen,—Having been deaf for many years, I
was induced from recommendation to try your Invisible Voice
Conductors, and I have great pleasure telling you that they
enable me to hear persons in company and at a place of worship
most distinctly; and in consequence of the great advantage
which I have derived, I have recommended many persons to
you, and their report is similar to mine, most favourable. The
Spectacles and Hand-glass which you have sent me are very
excellent, and suit my sight precisely, and surpass anything of
the kind I have ever tri d; the transparency of which is so
brilliant that, although I have passed my 86th year, the 22d of
May last, yet they enable me to read, &c., by candle-light
with the greatest ease and comfort to myself. Gentlemen, I
return you my best thanks, and remain your most obedient
servants, HEN ft v Cow-mt.-22d of June, 1839."
The 1V elshman intimates that an address of
thanks to Mr. T. Duncombe, M.P., will shortly be forwarded
by the Dissenters of Carmarthen, for the measure recently pro-
posed by him, with a view to the settlement of this fruitful
source of parochial discord ; and that the Dissenters there
have determined not to support any future candidate for their
suffrages, who will nst pledge himself to vote for some measure
to relieve them of this iniquitous tax.
