THE QUEEN.

The Address of the Tradesmen and Artificers of
Northampton was presented to her MAJESTY by Sir
GEORGE ROBINSON, Bait. and Captain MABERLY,
Members for the Town, on Monday last, to which,
her MAJESTY returned the following most gracious
Answer : _

" I set a high value on the many testimonies of regard which
I have received from the mercantile and manufacturing parts of
the community: among those estimable claims urn my grati-
tude I shall always rank this Address from the lredesmen and
Mechanics of the Town of Northampton.
" Good and evil, happiness and misery, life and death, are
the appointment of Gon: w hat his goodness freely gives I feel
that the same goodness may as freely take away. As a bring'
made highly susceptible of affection, and with nerves alive to
the slightest impression of pleasure or of pain, I cannot but la-
ment over the departure of those who so long had a hold upon
my heart, whose joys and sorrows were always in unison with
my own; but, as far as human infirmity will permit, I endea-
vour to repress the falling tear, and to stop the involuntary sigh:
I bend my will to that truly parental Powaa whose decrees have
always a reference to the good of the heart which they oppress,
and to the improvement of the mind which they agonize. I saw
my only child cut off by the rude gust of adversity, like a flower
in the early spring. Here my affection received a wound which
has never been entirely closed, and which the fond intrusions
of memqry will not suffer to disappear. Here I felt a disposi-
tion to be querulous, and a tendency to be sceptical; but I re-
membered that lite is only a transient discipline for a more last-
ill existence, and that, though man is short-sighted, the Use-
TERSAL FATHER must be good. Who is there that can look back
upon his past life, and say that he has nut been the better for
the experience of adversity?
" I cannot have the smallest doubt that the Tradesmen and
Mechanics of Northampton feel the most zealous regard for the
House of Brunswick, and for the principles of that limited Mo-
narchy which it is their duty to defend. If those principles
have been outraged by any late measure, I hope to live to see
the oak of British Liberty send forth new and more healthy
shoots, and spread its branches far anti wide, till it alike covers
the high and the low, the rich and tie poor, under the ample
canopy of its protecting shade."
Her MAJESTY returned the following gracious an-
swer to the Address front the Hamraermen Society
at Dalkeith, in Scotland :
" I am truly obliged by this Address from the Deacon and
Members of the Dalkeith I lammermen Society.
" However severe my trials maF have been, I trust they will
ultimately be productive of good to myself, and to the people of
these Realms. Pnovioanex often operates in the moral world
by very hen,ble instruments; and perhaps my individual afflic-
tions may, through the invisible agency of Divine Wisdom in
the inscrutible progress of events, be one of the means by which
great benefits will be conferred upon mankind. To be conscious
that we are living for the good of others, that our single exist-
ence puts in motion a wide circle of human sympathies, and dif-
fusee happiness over the whole surface, is that which renders
life a real blessing, and is what more than anything else makes
me anxious to live. If that day is ion in which no good is dons,
how great must be the loss of those whose whole life exhibits
only the mischievous activity of evil, or a dreary vacuity of good."
Her MAJESTY returned the following Answer to
the Address from the Inhabitants of the Barony of
Kinnoul, in Scotland :
" I have unfeigned satisfaction in receiving this Address from
Inhabitan ts of the Barony of Kinnoul. I am convinced that
the naives of North Britain espouse my cause with as motif
warmth of affection as those in the South; and will vindicate
my riget; with equal intrepidity and zeal.
" My cause is nut merely interesting as the cause of an in-
jured woman, and a perFecuted Queen, but it is connected with
the great question of national freedom, and of individual le-
curity. When my rights are attacked, a fatal blow is aimed at
the rights of the people. Intrusted, therefore, as I feel myself,
by a superior PUPILS, with the preservation in my own rights
fur the good of others, and of the rights of others for my own
good, I will never forsake either , but will defend both with in-
vincible resolution." •
Iler MAJESTY returned the following gracious
Answer to an Address from Belfast:

" Could I suppose that Irishmen would for ever be insensi-
ble to the spectacle or a female in distress? Could I suppose
that their gtnerothi bosoms would not sorrow for the sorrows,
or be intligt...nt at the indignitits, of a persecuted Queen? This
warm-hearted Address from the Inhabitants of the Town of
Belfast has convinced me that my griefs are not unfelt by the
Sens of Green Erin, and that all the better sympathies of Irish-
men are in Luison with those of Englishmen in a cause, in
which not to teel an interest, is like a declaration that the indi-
vii.ual is an alien from the best feelings of his species; that he
is d. of to the voice of honour, and impervious to the amiable
sensibilities of humanity. This is not the characteristic of Irish-
men. Their generous ardour, which would adorn chivalry in
its best days, is well fitted to combat tyranny in its worst.
" As far as my adversaries can support their cause by honour-
able testimony, I have no fear of the result. But lam attacked
by witnesses, who will swear anything : who have been !ego-
laxly trained into the hardihood of perjury; and to whom that
perjury is the certainty of present support, and the hope of fu-
ture gain. It may be doubted whether such witnesses reflect more
disgrace upon their employers, or the employers upon the wit-
nesses. Perhaps it will not be easy to graduate titer turpitude.
Without any interposition of my judgment, I shall leave it to
themselves to settle the pre-eminence in this sort of honour-
able rivalry.
" I claim nothing from my enemies but my just constitu-
tional rights, which I could not surrender without neglecting
the interests of the People of the three United Kingdoms, for
whose good they were bestowed."

The following is the copy of an application for
money by the Counsel for-the QUEEN :
“ We hereby certify, that it appears to us to be necessary
that a further sum of Ten Thousand Pounds should be forthwith
advanced to Mr. VIZARD, to be applied towards the expenses of
her Bixactiry's defence now pending in Parliament.
" Dated this Pith day of August,
(Signed " HENRY BROUGHAM,
" STEPHEN LUSHINGTON,
" THOMAS DENMAN."
