ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 4.

. Singularly unfortunate as the Quazc CORSORT of
ENGLAND has really been, and powerful as is her
claim to sympathy, there have occasionally appeared
in her history instances of rare good fortune. The una-
nimity and perseverance with which the people of
England have entertained and expressed the warmest
interest and the profoundest devotion for her, is an
instance of good fortune to which the history of
Princes affords no parallel.. The minor, but not al-
te?,ether unimportant circumstances of weather, co-
ilCidence of numbers, &c. have also been strikingly
:end most fortunately favourable. Perhaps a 4th of
December was never before in England more pro-
&ions to the purposes of parade in the open air than
this day. Addresses in open carriages, on horse-
back, and on foot, proceeded through the whole of
London, and by the public road to Hammersmith,
with all the splendour and comfort which could have
I,een enjoyed in the month of July, and with the ad-
ditional satisfaction of enjoying an uncommon and
unexpected pleasure. The kindly but subdued ma-
jesty of the day seemed to accord in amazing har-
mony with the sentiments of men full of congratula-
tions for the triumph of the Queer, clouded but
serene—afflicted but victorious. Her 1114 mm ap-
peared to feel all the influence of the day. Never
wcman of her a. e, in any rank, or on any occasion,
displayed in her lo“ks more dignity and grace. So
powerful and irresistible was the impression of her
look and air, that the crowd of Ladies and Gentle-
men in her presence—and they were of the highest
rripectability—could not be re:trained from loud
demonstrations of their ardent delight. It has been
sail that Virtue requires but to be fairly seen in or-
der to be universally recognised and admired : but it
is a Virtue without the perjul ies which the vindic-
tive and the venal would throw around her.

There were not fewer than thirty-nine sincere Ad-
dresses presented to her MAJESTY this day.
The first was from the Parish of Sr. John, Hack-
ney---it was presented and read by the Chairman,
Mr. Cn tsri E. A great number of Ladies and Gen-
tlemen attended with this Address, and had the ho-
noun of kissing her MAJESTY'S hand. They were
highly respectable; all came in carriages and four.
The drivers were dressed some in light blue, and
same in yellow jackets, and the heads of the horses
decorated with rosettes of white ribaud. Mr. Alder-
3na:i Woo» read her MAJESTY'S reply.
The next Address presented was from Norwich. It
was presented by a Deputation, consisting of the
Deputy Mayor, W. SMITE!, Esq. M.P. and Mr. TAY-
LOR. It Was most graciously received.
The Address of the inhabitants of Farringdon•
Within was presented by Mr. Deputy CROWDER, and
read a. .Jr. HERRING. • It was most graciously re-
crive ...d the Ladies and Gentlemen who attended
kissed her MAJESTY'S hand.
The Address from Brighton was presented to her
MAJESTY by JOHN CHATFIELD! Esq. supported by
EDWARD THUNDER, Esq. and Mr. SLIGHT. Their
reccpti.,n from her MAJESTY was gratifying in the
highest degree. Her MAJESTY stepped forward,
and with the greatest animation said, " I am happy
to find the inhabitants of Brighton have not forgotten
me, though some have done so." Mr. CHATFIELD
replied, " And your MAJESTY may be assured they
never will forget you."
The Address from Kimpton and Grately, Hants,
was presented by the Rev. Mr. HUTCHIN, and re-
ceived with marked condescention.

Lieutenant LADD, of the Royal Navy, presented
the Address from Buckland. Her MAJESTY received
it very graciously.
Mr. LITTLE presented the Address from Annan,
and was graciously received, her MAJESTY being
highly gratified with the sentiments of affection and
attachment so warmly expressed by the inhabitants
of that ancient and loyal Borough.
A numerous and respectable Deputation of Ladies
and Gentlemen waited upon her MAJESTY with the
Address from St. Matthew's, Bethnal-Green. The
Deputation came in twenty-three carriages. A cara-
'van with a band of music, enveloped in laurel, led
t'..e way. Mr. BALL, the Chairman, presented and
read the Address. All had the honour of kissing her
MAJESTY'S hand.

Mr. TUCKER, the portreeve, and Dr. BRINE, pre-
:nted the Address from Ashburton.

castle-under-Lyme.

Her NIAJEsry then retired for a short time till the
Trc,ce%sion of Furriers, Skinners, and Leather-dressers,
Ki arranged themselves, with their flags, banners,
a;id emblematical representations, alung the gallery.

great number of beautiful flags and banners, with

" Our Country and Commerce."
A white flag, with the initials C. R.
Another, with the inscription—" Not Guilty."

d the Pi °cession moved in regular and slow pace
rosy the room before her MAJICSTI, from left to
• :.at, and then marched wit in the same order in
ionch they had euvled. Her MasE.A.Y bowed her
it..a.l to each individual as he passel, and paid par-
attention to all the flags and inscriptions.—
:,::: examined minutely, and sceiticd to admire the

Inscription—eg Thank GOD, the People, and the Press.*
The letters were G.ed in red morocco.

Her NI/availit afterwards prisented herself succes-
sively at the windows to the south and to the east of
the long gallery, and was most rapturously cheered
by large crowds assembled on the lawn.
Her MAJESTY wore a dress of rich lilac-coloured
figured silk, trimmed with deep flounces of blond
lace, with lace ruff, and ermine tippet: her head-
dress a brilliant bandeau, with superb diamond star
in front, surmounted with a wreath of lilac flowers ;
the hair confined with a large anchor-shaped tiara.
Her MAJESTY was pleased to return the following
most gracious Answer to the Address from the Ward
of Farringdon Within :
I have peculiar satisfaction in receiving this loyal and affec-
tionate Address from the Alderman, Deputy, Common Council,
and Inhabitants of the Ward of Farringdon Within, in the City
of London.

" Though my life will shew the instability of friendship, it
will prove the security of innocence. My former friends seen,
to have prescribed no other rule for their constancy, than ti e
fluctuations of their interest. The complexion of their regard
has varied with the state of surrounding circumstances; and I
have been extolled or reviled, as I appeared to favour their am-
bition, or to be an obstacle in the way of their advancement.
" But still, in the perplexities of fraud, and in the labyrinths
of perfidy, I have constantly found integrity to be the wisest
counsellor, and the surest guide.
." I❑ the late proceedings against me, I was certainly not
much indebted either to the candour of my accusers, or the mo-
deration of my adversaries: candour would have avoided mali-
cious exaggerations, and virtue would never have become con-
federate with perjury. But, though my enemies had recourse
to every species of means, whether lawful or unlawful, though
they scrupled at no artifice, and rejected no stratagem that
could serve their turn—yet, the simple force of truth, powerfully
assisted by the agency of the Press, has enabled me to defeat
their machinations, and to triumph over their malignity.
" Some affection for the place of our nativity seems to spring
up from the very soil. The local sympathies, aided by a thou-
sand endearing associations, intertwine their invisible fibres
around the heart. But though England was not the country
of my birth, it is that of my adoption. The generous character
of the Pimple has rendered it as dear to my soul, as if it had
been the spot where I inhaled the first vital breath. And can
I ever forget tie numberless claims, which, within the last four
or five mouths, it has acquired to my grateful recollection and
my affectionate regard?"
