RIOTS THIS 3IORNING.

. Her Majesty returned by the passage that was left between
the Platform erected for the Procession, and the Atiphitheatre
and Pavilion erected near Guildhall, for the accommodation of
spectators, by which route she reached Pau liament-street, and
proceeded through Pall-mall, the number of persons following her
accumulating every moment. When she attived in Piccadilly,
the number could not have been less than five thousand, and
she was greeted with approbation by a considerable number of
persons from the windows as she passed.
On going up St. James's-street, a transparency of this Majesty
was exhibited for sale; the populace were loud in the expression
of feeling which this picture excited. As they went along they
vested their &pleasure on the preparations which were made

for Murninatlng et the shots of many of the tradesmen to the '
Royal Family, where they broke elm numbers of lamps, and.
many windows. Her Majesty entered Cambridge Houie at
har.past seven o'clock, when the crowd that had accompanied her
separated.. One party went down Hill-street, where they broke
the windows of Lord Willoughby de Broke and Mr. Williams.—
In their way they broke the windows of Earl Po*la, in Berke-
ley-square, those of Lord Dude, in Dover-street, and visited
Grillion's Hotel, in Albemarle-street ; and, after breaking a great
number of windows in Piccadilly, and some in Jermyn-street,
they proceeded to the house of the ' Marquis. of Londonderry,
in St. lames's-square ; here two of the Life Guards were
patroling up and down, when a scene took place that beggars all
description ; missiles of every kind flew in all directions, and after
breaking many windows, they obliged one of them to retreat
with much haste, when he proceeded to the Barracks at Knights-
bridge for a reinforcement, which arriving shortly allay the
insailants were compelled to remove. They, however, continued
in considerable numbers in Pall-Mall, particularly around those
houses that were in any way attractive by the splendour of their
preparations for illuminating. About ten o'clock this party had
almost entirely disappeared, and joined the crowds in the Parks.

Another division of the crowd proceeded to Grosvenor-square,
where they destroyed a great deal of glass at the house of the
Duke of Montrose, and several other Noblemen. They at
length set themselves down before the house of Lord Whit-
worth, where not only the windows but the frames were broken
in. The crowd was chiefly composed of boys and promiscuous
vagabonds, apparently from the neighbourhood of St. Giles's.
Nothing could exceed the sang fnid with which they proceeded
' about the work of demolition, to the amusement of groups of
persons who were standing about the square looking on. Al-
though there were soldiers parading the adjacent streets, there
was no indication of any design to spoil their entertainment.
At about nine o'clock, a serg'eant's guard of foot soldiers went
round the Square, when the mob, then in number about four
or five hundred, ceased for a minute, to cheer them, and re-
commenced as soon as they bad passed. There was a great
scarcity of stones and other missiles in the neighbourhood, or
they would have done more serious injury. Whilst some of the
lads were searching for stones, the mob amused themselves by
compelling the servants on the pusingtatriagesto 4' pull off their.
hats for the Queen," and pelting thorn" if the order was not in,
stantly obeyed. Many of-the servants, whose lll;veries were co-
vered with a profusion a lace, were not allowed this option, and
' as they passed through the crowd, they feceived voNies of mud.
The streets had been well watered in the course of the morning,
and were in a state highly favourable for this species of attune-
ment, which the mob partook of until a late hour, without be-
ing interrupted or disturbed even by the appearance °Ls con-
stable, when they ultimately 'dispersed, and joined the general
crowds in the Parks.
