LONDON
WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 1, 1842.

Both Houses of Parliament concurred last night una-
nimously in offering an Address of Congratulation to her
MAJESTY. In proposing it, we are bound to say, as
we profess the most unreserved hostility to Sir ROBERT
PEEL'S policy, that he .made a most feeling and just
appeal to the House of Commons. He was equally
happy in speaking of her MAJESTY'S distinguished
virtues, and in expressing the indignation and abhor-
rence of the whole empire of the crime that aimed
at her life. We remarked, however, with regret; that
when Lord Joux RUSSELL alluded to the crime being
not the result of a conspiracy, and to the criminal
having no associate, there was not that denial from the
Treasury benches which a cheer can convey, and we
were left with the impression that the Ministers be-
lieve that the assassin does not stand alone.
Her MAJESTY'S conduct, as described by Lord PORT-
MAN, Sir RadERT PEEL, and Mr. LASCELLES, was truly
admirable. Though she understood that she might be
exposed to danger, she would not consent to make her-
self a prisoner in her palace, but she resolutely refused
to allow any of her ladies to take their places by her
side. For devoted soldiers, who know that their chief
is the peculiar object of attack, to dress themselves like
him, and Sc) divert the danger, is a praiseworthy strata-
gem ; but her 111.4T.EsTv's conduct is a nobler example of
a chief refusing such a diversion, and alone confronting
a certain peril. In
.any young woman such conduct
would be called hertiie, and why should we nut apply
that epidiet to the QUEEN ?
In other parts of our Paper will be found the full par-
ticulars of the proceedings in Parliament, of the commit-
tal of FRANC.I3 to Nevvgate, and of all the circumstances
which have yet transpired connected with this abominable
attempt.

In r:7Tly to a (petition last night, put by Mr
noriliEßK, relative to the increase of duties on linen
yarn in France, Sir ROBERT PEEL stated, that our
3linistr y had not lest a single day, after being informed
.
of theintention of the French Government, in conanu-
nicating with it On the subject, and in expressing much
regret at such a course of proceeding. Such vigilance
deserves our approbation. Sir ROBERT alluded to the
commercial treaty which has been interrupted with
France, and hinted that its wine-growers might have
reason to regret the interruption. There were' oilier
wine-growing countries, he said, with which we were in
negotiation ; and he left it to be inferred, with something
like a threat to France, that our negotiations with them
might give to their wines soma preference over those of
France in our markets.. IMrd J. Russm; alluded to
such a course as one calculated to excite regret,- and
triplied that re were not warranted in departing from
