A deputation from tho parish of St. John, at
Hackney, had an interview with Sir George Grey yes-
terday, at the Home-office. The deputation was com-
posed of the Rev. Thomas Oliver Goodchild, rector of
Hackney; Mr. Charles Bradshaw Stutfield and Mr.
Charles Salisbury Butler, magistrates for Middlesex
and Westminster; Mr. Thomas Wilkinson, the senior
churchwarden of Hackney; Mr. John Robert Daniel
Tyssen, and Mr. George Greenwood, and Mr. Charles
Horton Pulley, the vestry-clerk of Hackney. The de-
putation presented to the Home Secretary the following
address to the Queen:—

•` To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty,
We, the undersigned, magistrates, clergy, and other
inhabitants of the parish of St. John, at Hackney, in
the county of Middlesex, beg, by your Majesty's per-
mission, to offer to your Majesty this our most loyal and
dutiful address.

" In ordinary times, we feel it would be unnecessary
and uncalled for in any body of Englishmen to assure
your Majesty of their loyalty and affection ;
but in
times like these in which we now live, wo aro sensible
that it behoves every man to manifest the sense of the
blessings which all classes of youri Mojesty's subjects
enjoy under the laws of this country And the government
thereof.
" We have witnessed with sorrow laid indignation the
wicked and treasonable attempts of a few designing and
unprincipled persons, aided by their misguided and de-
luded followers, to subvert the Government and disturb
the peace of these realms; and we have seen with un-
mingled satisfaction the signal manner in which these
designs have been frustrated; and we feel the profoundest
gratitude to Almighty God that the peace of this country
has been maintained by the wise and judicious course
adopted by your Majesty's Government, and the sacrifice
of human life averted, which, under other circumstances,
there is no doubt would have taken place to a serious
extent. _ _

" Whilst, in other lands, the downfall of Dynasties
and Governments has been proclaimed as the triumph
of the subject, we, the inhabitants of this large, popu-
lous, and important parish, hail it as a source of deep
and earnest congratulation, alike to your Majesty, the
empire at large, and to ourselves personally, that in
this, our much favoured land, the word of the seditious
has found no echo in the heart of the nation, but has
served only to summon forth all that are right-minded
and loyal in the realm to the support of your Majesty's
throne and Government, and, as far as in them lay, to
assist the constituted authorities in the preservation of
peace and order.
" We entreat your Majesty to receive our strongest
assurances that the events which have recently happened
tend only to justify and strengthen our attachment to the
excellent institutions of this, our highly favoured, coun-
try; and we are persuaded that your Majesty's Govern•
ment will bestow their best attention to the appeal to
Parliament of a large class of your Majesty's subjects,
and that the same Parliament, in its wisdom, will redress
the real grievances, if any, under which any portion of
your Majesty's subjects are at present labouring.
" At the same time we cannot but deprecate the at,-
sembling together of large multitudes of people pro-
moted for the purpose of overawing the constituted
authorities, and which tend only to riot, plunder, and
bloodshed.

•' We fervently trust that, valuing peace, our lives and
our property, and the good order and welfare of society
at large, as we do, the•law in this respect will continue
to be enforced as it was on a recent occasion.

"In conclusion, we beg to assure your Majesty, and
your Majesty's Government, that we shall at all times be
ready and willing to aid and assist the civil power in
frustrating the designs of evil-disposed and wicked per-
sons, and to come forward in any way that your Ma-
jesty's Government may think fit to command our
services."

THE COUNT DE NEUILLY. •—• A few days ago the
Count and Countess de Neuilly, with the whole of the
royal exiles now staying at Claremont, visited Twicken-
ham. The news of their arrival soon spread over the
place; and several persons, who had formerly received
marks of Louis-Philippe's kindness, flocked around the
dethroned monarch to pay their respects. Among them
was an old pensioner of the royal exile, with whom
Louis Philippe entered feeely into conversation, inquir-
ing particularly into his circumstances. He informed
„tbo King that he was a publican, and kept the Crown
at Twickenham. The exiled monarch observed with a
smile, " Well, I hope you will be able to keep it ; I
tried to keep the Crown, but was obliged to give it up."

to extricate themselves.
