Itd the most pets anent happinees to trim out of the addition
which we snake to the gratification ot others, and to the general
stock of hornets felicity.
This Answer moved many of the Ladies to tears.
The Answer of her MAJESTY to the Address of the'
Male Inhabitants of Mary-la-bonne, which was pre-
senia.4-- by Sir G. NOEL, was as follows :
",I am under many heartfelt obligations to the Inhabitant
Householders of the populous and opulent Parish of St. Mary 7
la-bonne, for this patriotic and affectionate Address. lam
more gratified by the honest sentiments of men so enlightened
and so upright, than I should be by the most sumptuous incense
of adulation from that selfish and corrupt Junto who have so
long possessed all the patronage and engrossed all the honours
of the State.
" In my long travels, both* by land and sea, all my movements
have been watched by insidious emissaries ; and I verily believe,
that if I could have mounted in the air, I should have been fol-
lowed by a balloon full of spies. But though my conduct has
been scrutinized with as much inquisitorial pertinacity as if my
adversaries had been composed of nothing but Eyes and ears,
they have not hitherto been able to establish a single charge to
lessen my respectability, or to blur my reputation. Before my
adversaries menaced my destruction by an unconstitutional Bill
of Pains and Penalties, I had only to claim a restoration of my
just rights, or en open and impartial trial of my conduct ; but
that Bill has altered the position in which I stood with respect
to my enemies on the one side, and to the country on the other.
The question is not now simply whether the Queen shall have
her constitutional rights, but whether the destruction 'of the
Queen shall pave the way for the destruction of public liberty?
It is public liberty which is attacked in the person of the Queen;
and the preservation of the Queen, in her rights, is become ne-
cessary to the preservation of the Nation in its liberties. The
alternative at present is not between one Queen and another;
but between liberty and servitude; between a free Constitution
and an arbitrary Government.
" When the statesmen of future times reflect on the follies of
their progenitors, will it not excite their astonishment or pro-
voke their ridicuk, that the present governing powers of Great
Britain should suffer the whole kingdom to be agitated from one 4
end to the other, and the public tranquillity to be endangered,
in order to determine probabilities of an infidelity, where
the complaining party is on the confines of old age, and the
party against whom the complaint is alleged is past the meridian
of her days? Can any man think this a sufficient reaton for
superseding all our established laws, and all our judicial forms?
for causing the Capital to be surrounded with troops, and the
House of Lords to be fortified as if it were in danger of being
a,a:ked by an enemy? What opinion would an impartial ob-
server form, when he beheld a judicial proceeding, or what has
the semblance of a judicial proceeding, going on tinder the cover
of an armed force"? While the temporal Peers, assisted by the
counsel of learned Judges, and sanctified by the presence of
mitred Bishops and Archbishops, are endeavouring to calculate
the chances of, what the,: are pleased to call, an adulterous in-
' tercourat, the bayonets of the troops are glittering on the walls
of Parliament, or gleaming in the passages to that venerable
Tribunal.

" When Senates are obliged to deliberate, or Courts of Jus-
' tice fo try causes, under the protection of an armed force, it
seems to indicate that those bodies are not acting in unison with
the sentiments and affections of the people. The voice of the
laws was of old said to he inaudible amid the clash of arms;
but is it because an attempt is making to set-aside the laws,
that recourse is had to a military force? These, however, are
times in which it is well understood that the interests of the
army can never be really distinct from the other interests of the
community.
" I have often experienced the generosity of Englishmen, and
by that generosity none have been more distinguished. than my
noble-minded friends in the parish of St. Mary-la-bonne."
The termination of each Answer, which was known
by the motions of some Gentlemen who were near
the window, was marked by the applauses of the
crowd without.

Iler MAJESTY, on observing from the windows that
the court-yard was not sufficient to accommodate the
immense multitude who surrounded the house, she
desired the garden to be thrown open, and regretted
that the fruit it contained was not more inviting.
,Her MAJESTY conversed for some time with the
Ih.►n. Mrs. DAM ER and the three Mister WHITBREAD.
Exactly at five o'clock the ceremony ended, and
the QUEEN 'appeared at the centre window amidst
exclamations of pleasure. We have
.never seen her
lo 'k better. She bowed repeatedly to the people, and
retired with a smile of satisfaction on her mime-
narce. The road to town, on the return of the pro-
cession, was no less crowded than it had been in the
morning. The huzzas and ejaculations in favour of
the Qua:Ex, and the execrations directed against her
persecutors were heard, without intermission, from
Hammersmith to Hyde Par, k-corner, as the coaches
filled with those who witnessed this exhilarating ce-
remony returned to town.
Alderman Wool). arrived at Brandenburgh-House
soon after twelve o'clock. As he drove along in his
gig, he was loudly cheered by the people. He was
in attendance on the QUEEN during the whole of the
day. Miss Woon was also present, and paid the
utmcst attention to the Lanes.

At half-past twelve o'clock, the QUEEN received.'
the Camberwell Address, which was read by a Clergy-
man in full canonicals. The procession bearing this
mark of respect consisted of about twenty carriages.
Mr. II tIAIE, M.P. presented an Address to her MA-
JESTY from the Inhabitants cf St. Andrew's, Scot.
land, to which she returned a most gracious Answer.
The Address from Kimpton (Hampshire) was also
received.

LORD :KENYON'S OPINION.--/17 tuth v • Lord [fry-
comb, for Criw. Con.—The defence relied on for the
defendant w..!s, the open and notorious ilfidelity of the
plaiolif to his wife, and the total neglect (flier society;
that his gallantries with other women were open, pub-
lic, and undisguised; that he had attached himseifto
a Lady at Florence, of the name of Madame Bartioli,
and appeared with her constantly in public, and at
the Opera, hen his wife was absent ; and it was con-
tended, that such a husband could not come into a
Court of Justice to complain. Lord KENYON assented
to the statement, and said he had so ruled in the
case of Stud v. Mar guis of Blandford ; and such was
his opinion in point of law. The ATTORNEY-GENE-
RAL consented to be non-suited. 4 Espin. Rep;p.l.s.
Lord KENYON seems, according to this Report, to be
an excellent judge of a match, and to have brought
the law to compel things similar to agree. Martial
had before expressed surprise that, under such cir-
cumstances, it should ever be otherwise—
Cum skis similes paresque vita
Uior peuima, pessimus maritus,
Ildiror, non bene conveniunt vobis.—Lib. S. Epig. 55.
Wednesday forenoon, the prisoners in Stirling Cas-
tle, for High Treason; were informed of the decision
which Government had come to on their respective
cases. Andrew Hardie, John Baird, and James Ckl-
land, are to be executed on Friday the Bth Septem-
ber; Gray, Murchie, and M'Farlan, are to be trans-
ported for life, and the remainder are to be trans-
poi ted for 14 years, except Crawford, who is to be
liberated.

Friday, a shocking accident occurred at Felling
Colliery, from the explosion of the boiler of the
steam-engine, through the carelessness of two persons
attending it, who were so much scalded that they
lingered in great pain during the day, and expired
at nine o'clock in the evening.
