THE QUEEN;

Mein. Bannon AM and DENMAN had an interview
with her MAJE.)TY•aißrAndenburgh-house, on Thnrs-
day evening, soon after her return from her aquatic
excursion. Mr. Alderman WOOD reached the Qtratnes
town• residence soon after • ten yesterday morning,
when it was announced that her MAJESTY might beti
expected at half-past eleven. At the appointed time
her MAJE,Tv arrived, attended by Lady HAMILTON, i
and almost immediately proceeded' to the House of I
Lords; where :he had another conference with her
Counsel. After remaining about half an hour in her
retiring-room in the House of Lords, her MAJESTY!
havin appointed to receive several Addresses at
Brandenbiugh-honse, set out on her return thither
immediately.
In order to prevent a recurrence of those outrages
Committed by the crowd when the St. Mary-la-bonne
Address was presented, the Ma;•istrates at Bow-street
sent down a strong party of Officers, under the direc-
tion of Perry, the conductor of patrole ; and in con..
sequence everything passed off with the utmost order
and resiihoity.
Sir llosEar WILSON and Mr. Floanousc first ar-
rived wi li an Address from a number of Inhabitant
Householders of the town of Derby. Mr. trottiousL+.
was in full court dress,. and Sr RoatnT wore aLull
dress Majci-Geneiaf's unifintn7 w:th the insignia of
his different' Orders of knighthood.
At half-past one o'clock * Depitatian with the
Address•from the Parish of Whitechapel entered the
grounds in twentl7one open 'carriages, drawn by four
horses each ; and they were almost immediatOly fol-
lowed by the Aldersgate Ward Addressers in thirty-
six carrt4ge,, headed by Mr. Alderman Cox, .in his•
scar'•:t gown ; the Ward Officers, with their maces,
&c. As the tu•ttpany alighted, they were shewn into
the drawing-rooms, to wait the return of be 31A-
JES*0 from to•

At a quarter past two her MAJESTY arrived. She
was received with acclamation by a crowd of respect-
ably di essed persons, who bad assembled ir, front,
or the house and on the lawn. Her MAJESTY retired'
fur About ten minutes ; and then, having given au-
dience to Sir. ROBERT WiLsos and Mr. floanousa,.
she took her station at the upper ench of the marble
gallery, attended by. those Gentlemen, Air. Alder-
man Worn), M. Scu t A VIN r, Colonel OLIVJERA, Lad y
ANNE Mitsui /ma, and several other Ladies, and the
Whitechapet Deputation, was admitted. The Ad-
dress was presented and read by Mr. Wtt.t.Lissioa,
the Chairman of the Meeting, and her MAJESTY re-
turned the f .Ilowirsg most gracious•answer.r.
“ I tun happy to find that my many suiL rings t 4 my aeaa-
mulated wroligs Ware so powet fully interested the eympathies.of
the inha'Atains of St. Mary's, Whitcchapel.
" The conspiracy which I am combating. Anti& nominally
directed against myself, is, ist fact, a conspliacy against Liiitish
libcrty. No measure since the Ilevolntiott his ,portended such
disastreus consequences as the present Ballot' Pains and Penal-
ties. While it threaten freedom under all its diversified as;
pects, and with all its general rights., and all its particular ie
cuticles, it at the same time darkens chi. perspective of the future.
w:ta a lowering appearance of civil war. it exhibit,. a cloud mil
the edge of the political horizon, that may burst in misery on
every family in thecoinitry.
" This 1111 of Pains and Penalties may thus be the harbinger
of woe to every man's hearth. It may embitter the days of thou-
seeds ani tens of anon:ids, bath rich and poor, and produce ir-
remediable regrets.
" After tit, noble stand which so many of the most estimable
stmoog the Peers have made against this pestiferous Bill, and the
total wart of any evidence to justify' it, enactment, it cannot be
expected that it will loss; hut if it should pass, we must never
lose sight of the pljp,bandity that his 3Jajesty may marry again.
'the iesue of that ritarruge would in all hkelihood cause a con-
tested 411CCVM:011.. That part of the nation which will not allow
the Bill of I'ains and Penalties to be a constitutional art, may
nut readily submit to the offspring of a marriage which w:11 never
gent rally be &tined legitimate.
If my marriage be annuLed, it must be annulled in defiance
of all law. The Queen, therefore, who succeeded me would
only be nominally Queen, for no lawful right can be conveyed
by an illegal ant ; and, in the opinion of the great majority of
the nation, nothiag can stamp this Hill of Pains and Penalties
with any legal characteristic. It will never he regarded as any
thih more than in act of pure tyranny, 'and as such it will ex-
cite the hatred of the present age, and experience the ezeoratioh
of posterity?'

The Aldersgate Ward Deputation was next ad-
mitted, when Mr. Alderman Cox presented the. Ad-
dress, %Illicit was read by Mr. CORISOULD, the Mover
of it. Her MAJESTY replied very graciously, and this
Deputation alio kissed hands. The whole then with-
drew to their carriages, and 'her MAJESTY appeared
for a few moments at the centre window, the crowd
without loudly cheering.
The Ad:tress from the Females of Sheffield; with,
Tolioo signatures, was. presehtett by Lord DUNCAN-
fp.N. Alderman Wool) presented an Addriss from
th'e Female* of Halifax : the Addreis from the Male
rnhabitantsOf that town has been toniarded to Sir
FRANCIS BURDSTT.

The Address from 500 of tile Leicester Militia, was
presented by Aldermin WOOD, and it would have
had many more signatures, had not the greater num-
ber of the men been engaged in harvest-work in dif-
ferent parts of the County.
A Meeting of the Inhabitants of Spitalfields Parish
was held yesterday in the Parish Church, when an
Address to the Quazs was agreed to.

It has for some time past been the custom of Cap-
tains anti sailors in the River to hold religious meet-
ings on the decks of different ships every evening in
the week ; and the following interesting scene took
place on board the Fidelity, Captain PAYN4 of South
Shields, lying off Rotherhithe, on Thursday last, the
day on which her MAJESTY went down the River to
Woolwich—related by an eye-witness:
" After a Psalm had been sung, and a chapter read,
the sailors kneeled down amidst a large assembly,
and, with great solemnity, humility, and propriety,
offered up extempOraneous prayer. The blessings
they .supplicated were
.4.3. f the most general descrip-
tion ; but rt few sentences were interspersed in the
prayer of one of the .poor sailors, so simple and ap-
propriate, that I cannot avoid communicating deem.
Not having seen the QUEEN on the Thames, and
being much engaged to-day, I had forgotten that
she had pasied down the River until the sailor on
his knees prayed thus:
" 0 Loan ! we, have beheld this day thine handmaid whom
we have never seen before : we bless thee that she is in heakh ;
and we pray, if site is innocent of the crimes laid to her charge,
that her innocence may. be fpUy proved. 0 Loaa! support kAer
under her present heavy triale;. may she seek to Thee for grace
and strength ; and, Loau, grant. that her persecution may soon
end : and when 'she dime with all these things, and suffered
thy righteous will, -0 I intiy-tite enter into this rest which Thou
hut provided fur all who believe In the Loa Jisi s Cuvar
