THE QUEEN.

Yesterday her MAJESTY'S state carriage drew
up to her entrance door at the House of Lords
soon After four o'clock, but the Queen remained
in her apartment for nearly an hour longer. The
entire line of return, from New Palace-yard to
St. James's-square, was more or less 'occupied
with vehicles of various kinds'cin eir!.er side of
the carriage-road. Numbers of people were sta-
tioned on the footway; and even in the open
street, and the windows were occupied by ladies
and gentlemen their domestics and visitors.
_ _

The crowd had in accuulatea so much about half
after four, that the Horse Guards were' obliged
to be active in keeping-the necessary space open
for the 'passing and relia Ssing from Parliament-
square beyond the Horse 'Guards. Alderman.
Wood, in his chaise, drove away from the, HouSe
towards' St. james's-sgnare about a quarter past
four, and was cheered as he' proceeded by the
populace. It was abotit a quarter past five when
the Queen's equipage got into St. ames'ssquare
from George-street, soon after which her Ma-
jesty was handed. from 'her carriage by Mr. Al-
derman Wood. Owing to the chilliness:6f the
day,' her majeqy's carriage Was closed up, 'which
prevented her front being- seen till after-her ar-
rival. She, however, now made amends for this
privation, by appearing at one of the Windows of
her house, where she courtesied inacknowledg-
merit' of 'very loud and reiterated cheers. "Cha-
riots, -carts, waggons, -had previously..been sta-
tioned at every'part of the square nearest her
Majesty's house, and the owners 'of waggoi-6, auci
carts. collected
,their sixpences in .abundance.
Her Majesty soon reappeared at the •Window,
acCompanied by Alder Man Wood, when- klie both
courtesied and waved herhand to the people three
times, and seemed- to utter-some few sentences,
which it was impOssible to hear. Hundreds of
persons were accommodated' within The en-
closed part of the square, whence the.y had
full opportunities 'of beholding 'her 11'Tajesty.--
At precisely a quarter. before .six, the Bethnal-
green Deputation, with an Address to the Queen,
reached. St. James's-Square, in thirty coaches,
most of them open ones,.ivith four horseS to each.
' Nearly all the Deptitation were dressed in black,
and wore white rosette's:. They, were 'cheered
by the .populace still 'congregated in froni'of her
Majesty's house: Shortly 'after this Deputation
had withdrawn, -her Majesty came again to the
window where she is Usually' seen;*and: bowed to
the huzzaing spectators. She was diessr.l in
blaCk silk, wore a white turban, with
which' hung' from her 'forehead to nearly her
waist. ' About a quarter Past seven o'clock,. her
Majesty left St. JameS'S-square fur Brandenbufgh
House, at Hammersmith.
Alderman Wood presided yesterday at a:Ward
Meeting of Cripplegdte, at which, of course, ,aa
Address was voted to the Queen. •
The Duke of York was loudly huzzaed from
the House to the Horse Guards by a iarge.crowd.
We have again the painful task of noticing the
grosS depravity of the 'Mob in 'hissing the iPuke
of Wellington ,and the Marquess' of An lesea.
These distinguished heroes, to .Thom
try owes so much, treated the rabble with:pro-
per contempt;

FATAL .00CURAI;NCE.—A melancholy event
took place at -Kilnhurst, near Rotherham, on
Thursday morning, at the Pottery. ..of Joseph
Hill and Sons. John' Depledge and Samuo
Bradshaw had been employed in sinkinga well,
for the purpose of . putting down a pump !for a
new dwelling-house ; which,. being finished, one
of them descended to ascertain the depth„of Wa-
ter as he did not return, his companion went
down after him ; he, likewise, did not - returm ;
and, unforturrately,'„Joseph Hill, the prop,rietor,
with his four sons, went down the. laddmin
,suc-
, cession ; the last was seen to drop olf:by,some
persons who were standing near the mouth-of the
well,. who immediately procured the assistance
of some men from a neighbouring colliery ; but it
required some precautionary preparations before
they could 'be prevailed upon to go, downinto the
well, which they at length did, and brought up
the bodies of the seven Men, all dead. There
were, it seems some okd Coal-pits close by. the spot,
which had uot,:been' worked for -some time, and
it is conjectured -that an-aperture bad been made
in digging the Well; which admitted the fatal
damp, .and caused the -deh:th:of those unfortunate
nienin so instantaneous a iiiatineT. Mr. d ill, the
father, was a widower, ..ao.47lhis.four sons were
unmarried; but Deptodge..i, iltadEiha*- have
both left large families to -del3lae their'vntimely
fate.
