Addresse:,, the road from Hyde-Park-Corner to Ham-
mersmith was at an early hour thronged by vast
bodies of persons, who were on their way to Bran-
denhurgh House, to pay their homage to the QUEEN.
At twelve o'clock upwards of 200 carriages, some
with six horses, and the greater •part with four, the
poBtillions fancifully dressed, had passed Hyde-Park-
Corner filled by Ladies and Gentlemen deputed
from different parts of the metropolis. and the coun-

stands afier the close of the evidence against her.
The following were the Addresses presented, by

The first Address which arrived at Brandenburgh
House was that of the Inhabitants of the Parish of
St. Abbott's, Kensington. The procession consisted
of forty-two- carriages,. chiefly filled with Ladies
of the first respectability.,- They v ere elegantly
dressed in white, and wore her Majesty's medals sus-
pended from their necklaces. The A ddress was
under the. immediate care of Mr. SAMUEL WIIIT•
BREAE, M.P. Sir GERARD NOEL,_ Bart. M,P. Mr.
PETER MOORE, M.P. Mr. HM UE. M.P. and' several.
other independent Gentlemen. The Deputation had-
the honour of being introduced to her MAJESTY at a
quarter past one o clock. The QUEEN' was in e.:cel-
lent health, and received the Deputation in her usual,
gracious and condescending manner. Her MaiEsitY,
wore a dress'of black silk and spangled velvet;
trim-
med with roses, under a dress of crape.—Mr. WHIT-
BREAD read the Address, to which her MAJESTY re-
turned a most gracious Answer. •
-The procession from the Ward of Farringdon Within,
next drew up to the door, and attracted much atten-
tion from the great respectability of its appearance.
The Ward Beadle, with the mace and dress of his
office, and two other Officers, rode in front of the
procession, and one of them bore a banner, on one
side of which were the words " Farringdon Ward
Within," and on-the reverse a well-executed repre-
sentation of her MAJESTY landing in England, with
the Royal Standard borne over her head, and people
surrounding her with cries of " GOD bless her !"
Underneath was inscribed " The Star of Brunswick,"
in letters of gold. Carriages and foer, to the num-
ber of twenty, followed ; in the two first of which
were the Deputies of the Ward, and several of the
Common Councilmen in their mazarine iowns. The
Deputation were ushered into the Audience-chamber
in the usual form, and being conducted to the upper
part of the room, her MAJESTY entered, and the
Address was read in an impressive manner by Mr.
HanatNo. Her MAJESTY returned a most gracious
answer, which was read by Mr. Alderman WOOD,
and the Deputation had the honour of kissing her
MAJESTY'S hand. The Alderman of the Ward was
prevented from attending by indisposition.
As this procession was on its way to Brandenburgh
House, it was agreeably surprised to find Lord JOHN
RUSSELL at its head. His Lordship, in full Court
dress, was making progress on the road to Branden-
burgh House, to present an Address to her MAJESTY;
and, being observed to be at the bottom of the pro-
cession by a Gentleman on horseback, who made the
circumstance known to Mr. Deputy PINDAR, and
other Gentlemen who led the procession,•they all, on
receiving the intimation, instantly dispatched a mes-
senger, requesting his Lordship to take precedence,
which was complied with, to the universal satisfac-
tion of the multitude. _ _

At half-past two o'clock the Deputation from the
Ward of Portsoken arrived. The Gentlemen who
composed it filled thirty-five coaches and four ; the
postillions were in new pink dresses, with white hats
and ceickades. The appearance of this cavalcade
was really beautiful; as it entered the avenue of
Brandenburg!' House, the gay dresses of the postil-
lions, when occasionally seen through the gloomy
foliage of the trees, produced a very pleasing effect.
In the first carriage was Sir Jatais SHAW, Bart the
Alderman of the Ward, with his Deputy. The Gen-
tlemen ctf the Deputation, on presenting their Address,
were honoured with a most gracious -reception, and,
preceded by their worthy Alderman and his Deputy,
had the honour of kissing her MAJESTY'S hand as
they retired.
At jhree O'clock, the procession of the Several 'Be-
nefit Societies of the Metropolis arrived. We never re-
member to have seen a more pleasing spectacle.--Here
" Let not the rich deride, the proud disdain,"
these laborious artisans, combined to assist iemselves
in sickness and in age, without obtruding on the cha-
rity of their more fOrtunate and wealthy neighbours.
There were more than 6,000 persons in ibis proces-
sion. They.appeared to be chiefly artisans and me-
chanics, and their whole appearance and demeanour
did them the highest credit. This procession was
accompanied by an immense concourse of people,
':ho, by their cheers, evidently partook of the honest
entluniasm of the Societies, and evinced the same
propriety- of demeanour throughout the day. The
Benefit Societies were preceded by a large body of
their officers with staves ; they were accompanied byl
several bands of music ; and at the head of each
Society, the stewards and flags were arranged.—
Among the flags, of which there were a great va-
riety, were the following:
• - Blue flag—blotto, " United Friendly Societies, 25,000
Members.'
The Address, carried on a pat, tied with blue ribands and
white rosettes.
