We yesterday announced, that the Sheriffs (Messrs.
RotRwELL and PARKINS) waited on the QUEEN, to
know at what time her MAJESTY would be pleased
to receive the Address of the Corporation, and that,
her MAJESTY had appointed this day, at one o'clock,
for receiving the Address. Long before the arrival of
the Sheriffs at her MAJESTY'S residence, in Portman-
street, a great crowd of respectably-dressed persons
had assembled in front of the house where her MA-
JESTY resides, in expectation of their arrival, and
they received them with cheers. The Sheriffs were
not in the house more than a. quarter of an hour;
and, as they retired, the crowd, which by this time
was greatly increased, again greeted them with al..
plause. Her MAJESTY, at the same moment, ap-
peared in one of the small balconies attached to the
windows of the drawing-room. The cheers were in-
stantly renewed, with the utmost enthusiasm, accom-
/*flied with the clapping of hands, and every ex-
pression of attachment and respect. The QUEEN
appeared sensibly affected by the ardour which was
manifested, and, having made three very graceful.
obeisances, she immediately retired ; whilst cries of
" GOD bleu you!"—" Long live the QUEEN!" &c. re-
sounded on all sides. The Sheriffs carriages now
drove off, and shortly afterwards the greater part of
the crowd had disFersed.
Her MAJESTY was dressed in black silk, with a
rich collar of point lace ;.and wore a black velvet hat
and plume of -ostrich feathers. She appeared in ex-
cellent health.

By eleven o'clock this morning, the LORD MAYOR,
the Sheriffs, the Recorder, the Aldermen, Commpn
Councilmen, and City Officers, began to assemble at
Guildhall, for the purpose of putting the Procession
in order ; and such were the precautions previously
taken, that there was comparatively little confusion
among the number of cars iages (39) in setting down
and taking up their company at the Hall. At twelve
o'clock the Procession. set off, accompanied by an
immense concourse of people. They were greeted
from the wiAdows of the streets through which they
passed, the Ladies waving their handkerchiefs and
the Gentlemen their hats.

A few minutes before one o'clock the Precession
reached her MAJEsry's residence in Portman-street,
where they were hailed by an immense assemblage
of well-dressed people, with "Long live the QUEEN!"
GOD bless her MAJESTY !"—Every arrangement
had been made for the reception of the Corporation
and after their admission, the City Recorder read
the following

• ADDRESS
" To the QUEEN'S Most Excellent Majesty.

" The dutiful and loyal Address of the Lord Mayor, Alder-
men, and Commons of the City of London, in COMMOI2
Council assembled.

4, MAT IT 'LIAM YOUR MAJZSTT,
" We, lfis Majesty's ever-dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord
Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in
Common Council assembled, approach your Majesty with sin-
cere expressions of loyalty, attachment, and regard.
We condole with your Majesty on the various afflictions
your Majesty has sustained, since your departure from this coun-
try, by the loss of so many illustrious personages of your Ma-
jesty's family, especially by the demise of our late beloved Sove-
Feign. your Majesty's paternal guardian, whose countenance and
support. under the most trying circumstances, gave the best
pledge to the Nation of your Majesty's innocence, and the firmest
protection against all your enemies ; and also that of your amiable
and illustrious daughter, the Princess Charlotte, the fond hope
of Britain, whose memory will be ever dear to an affectionate
People.

" Deeply attached to the Royal Family, and anxious for the
preservation of the public tranquillity, we feel ourselves called
upon to express our earnest hope that the differences which un-
fortunately subsist, may be arranged in a manner suitable to your
majesty, as well as to your Royal Consort, and satisfactory to
the country ; and that, should an investigation of these differ-
ences be still unhappily resorted to, recognizing the dignified
firmness which your Majesty has manifested, by the solemn pro.
test you have entered against all secret investigations of your
conduct, so repugnant to common justice, and to the feelings of
Englishmen, we trust such investigation will be conducted in an
open and impartial manner, and tetminate in the complete vin-
dication of your Majesty's honour.
" We rely upon your Majesty's gracious acceptance of this

Address, as a proof of the loyalty and affection of your faithful
; Citizens of London, and of their attachment to the Illustrious
Muse of Brunswick, who, they ttust, will long continue to
sway the British Sceptre, and maintain.the liberties and happi-
ness of the People."
Her MAJZSTY was evidently much affected during
the reading of the Addrcss, but bore the pressure
of her recollections with dignified self•command.
When the Address was finished, and after a pause
of a few moments, the QUEEN returned a most gra..
cious answer.
A verbal copy had not reached us when we were
