THE QUEEN

, [Prom Mc Times.]—Yesterday afforded ,:ano-
ther occasion for rendering -to triumphant Irmo,
cence.a new tribute. of . public ' aciu'i6viej.looent.
The consequence-of •her MAJESTY'S seclusion for
a few :days Nvas to .multiply the Addresses, whieh
remained to be presented.; .and yesterday being
the day jappointed by her toireeeive those from
various Public Meeting-s held either in the several
parishes of, the metropoli.s and.its vicinity or: in
more distant parts 'of the country, the streets
through which the processions were expected' to
pass displayed in the morning thebris.tling-appear,
mice which usually precedes any rublic occurrence
interesting to the great body 'Of • the people.—
The, :deputations appointed to convey the ad-
dresses to' Brandeuburgh IfouSe.: :assembled
in their respective- Committee-rooms, where
they were attended by vast crewd.f, who • pur-
posed to accompany them. •to , the feet of
her Majesty, with loyal and diftifui e:.:presSiow.
of their respect for her courage, and their syna,
:pithy in her sufferings. They then proceeded
towards Brandenburgl House, from their respec-
tive committee-rooms. About twelve o'clock the
deputation from the Ward of Farringdon passed
through the Strand. It was led, by the beadles
of the parish on horseback, and consisted of about-)
GO open landaus., each drawn‘by 4 horses. This
was soon followed by a still more magnificent and
numerous procession of the inhabitants of Spi tal-
fields. This party was preceded by the gentlemen
composing the deputation on horsehack,2 and 2,
carrying white staves ; 2 persons also on horseback
supported a handsome flag, and then succeeded a
long line of landaus, each carrying, as in the for-
mer procession, six gentlemen 'wearing white fa-
vours. The postilions in This procession were all dis-
tinguished by wearing yellow silk jackets. A pro-
cession from the parish of Shadwell exhibited a
Brilliant display of ladies, elegantly dressed,
wearing magnificent plumes of feathers. The
carriages, conveying the ladies were closed. A
little .after 12. o'clock six different processions
formediworder at- Hyde-park-eerner, and com-
posed at short intervals a continuous line of car-
riages (the- major part drawn by four horses to
each), extending over a distance of 2 miles. At
this. time the weather was variable, and cast
a considerable. shade over the spectacle. Fortu-
nately,,this was of no long duration ; the clouds
'di ,parsed, and the face of the heavens accorded
With the gaiety of the scene below. The.popular
.sentiment, was loudly expressed in cheering-those
)rho.formed part oft the different processions, and
it was,obvious that, whatever the cause may have
lost in novelty,-..it ,has ;lost nothing. in interest.
At a- very early hour 411 the avenues to Branden-
bnrgh-house were besieged by crowds of -foot-
passengers, hoping for admission into the grounds,
„and!anxious to partakeof that gladness which the
good temper and condescension of her Majesty
seldom fail- to ;.communicate, by appearing at
.one •of the windows of her residence, and
recognising the zeal.- displayed on her, be-
_half. Major- Cartwright and Mr. Wooler were
the first arrivals, with an' Address, -as' we
were. informed, from a considerable number
• of, persons . Manchester and - Leeds. The
Queen on entering the great. saloon, or hall of
audience, sown after, conversed. for several minutes
with the worthy. Major: The-first procession,
that of the Ward of Farringdon, headed by
Mr. .Waitliman in his Alderman's robes, Jhor
began to' arrive. Mr. Waithman. was accom-
panied by several members of the Common Coun-;
cil of. London, and a very considerable number
of his constituents. 'He-delivered the Address with
much animation and energy. The Queen's reply
was read: by ,Mr. Alderman. Wood. All who join-
ed haJthe, procession had the honour of kiSsing
her Majesty's hand. The -third Address was:
from some "of the inhabitants of Oloucester
which the Queen was also pleased most graciously
to receive: The fourth and fifth were from the
wards •of Cripplegate and Aldgate*; and a• sixth
from the weavers of Sy'pitalfields. Her Majesty,
who did not appear to be in perfect irealth,
returned her respective answers through Mr.
Alderman Wood. The last and most splen•
did part of the exhibition yet remained,
and it was .late in -the afternoon before it ar-
rived upon the premises. It constituted-'a
line
of GO or 70' barouches and four, bearing the Ad-
dresses of the parishes of Paddington and St
Pancras, and' headed' by Sir Gerard-Noel ant
Mr: Peter Moore. These. Addresses proceeded
from the female as well as male inhabitants, an
the cavalcade was decorated. by the presence o
many beautiful and elegant women. • Her Ma
jesty conversed familiarly with several•of: them,
and it was nearly six o'clock before the entire
ceremony was, brought to a conclusion. ,
The following are her MAJEMTY's Answers to
the most important of the Addresses presented.:
