THE YOUNG QUEE 4- OF PORTUG AL.
• —AL
PAILIITICULASI of ttxa atemrox sr Tax xt~o.

On alighting from her carriage the Queers was te-
ceived by the Duke of MONTROSE, and conducted by
him op the grand flight of stairs leading to the State
Apartments. His MAJESTY, who was waiting at the
top of the stairs, saluted her in the most cot dial manner.
The KING then led her to the Sta e Di awing-enom,
accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of CLA natmt.
and the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCIISTER. The QUEEN
was seated beside his MAJESTY on a sofa. Upilti her
first entrance into the apartment, she was evidently em
barrassed at the splendid and crowded scene which was
pteserted to her, but she soon recovered het self pos-
session, and conversed for nearly half an hour with his
MAJESTY and several of the distinguished personage,.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duchesses of CLARENCE and
GI., WESTER were particularly attentive to the 9UEILN.
and among other objects the splendour of her dress did
not escape their admiration.
After nearly an boor spent in conversations his,MA-
MSTY led the young Queer; through the.corridor, and
several apartments of she Palace. to the dining room,
where a dejeune was laid out, of which they partook.
, with about thirty of the distinguished company who
bad met to witness the reception of her MAJZITY.
The QUEEN was seated neat to his fdaarterv, .on- his
right hand, and he was most marked in his attentions
to her.
Nothing could exceed the joy which the N.shlemen
who attended their Queen seemed to feel at the kindness
which his MAJESTY manifested upon this most impor:
tent occasion, and they could scarcely restrain their
emotions when the KINO, teddiebting • his illustrious
guests, said that, in this country there prevailed a cos-0
tom which to some of them might appear strange—it was
an old English custom, and certainly not a bad one—that
of drinking healths ; in accordance with that custom; and
as a means of conveying his own feelings, his Mann's
proposed the health of the young Queen. As soon as this
toast was drunk the young Queen rose, and the eyes of all
were fixed on her. She assured his MAJESTY that—to
her at least—this. custom was not new, as she had on
every days:ince her arrival in England drank, at bet
own table, his MAJESTY'S health, and, with the warmest
feelings of gratitude for his kindness, she begged now
again to propose that toast. It would be impossible :6
convey an adequate idea of the manner in which this
child conveyed the expression of her thanks, and slit
assurance of her gratitude to his blataarv. • •
His MAJESTY, at the conclusion of the repast. led his.
Royal Visitor back to the drawing-room, and subsea.
quently conducted her to the top of the stairsiwbere he'
bad received her on her arrival.
On taking leave of the Queen his MAJESTY embraced
her, and again assured her of the kind and warm wishes,
which he entertained lOr her future welfare.

WARD OF FARRMGDON WITHOUT.
Yesterday morning the Wardmote again assembled,
in order to choose their new Candidates. or elect their
old ones.
M 11 o'clock Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN was pre-
sent, as wete also the several aspirants, with the neer
tion of a few ssho considered themselves safe.
At three o'clock, the Alderman declared that the poll
was closed for that day, and the doors of the vestry room
were ordered to be closed ; and after the poll and check
clerks had compared notes, he pronounced as follows,
"rough the medium of Mr. Reeves, the Vestry Clerk
of Sr. Andrew's:

After this annunciation; the worthy Alderman wished
toknow whether any candidate desired to address the
Sleeting ? After a little silence,
Mr. FEARoN stated that Mr. Hunt whited to say a
few words—(Applause).
Mr. HUNT came forward, and as soon as the .clamour
had subsided, addressed himself to the Alderman and
Gentlemen of the Wardmote. He said, that after the
awful denunciations which be had heard in a sacred
edifice yesterday, mixed, as they were, with evident
tokens of disapprobation, it was necessary far him to
nuke a remark; and he did so because no females were
present;
and if that had been the case yesterday, he
would have done so. It was his misfortune in the,
beigh.day of youth to marry by the old-fashioned
term—he meant that he had scarcely arrived at the
age of twenty•one; but this was twenty-six years
ago, and what that had to do with the present
ba.iuess he could not divine; nor could it ever, but for
the prying, meddling, troubling little man. who was
one ci his adversaries; but as he had expressed yester-
day, the lady, and her guardians, and trustees, 64441
well satisfied with the arrangement then made, why J
should any little meddler meddle in a-concern which I
concerned not him ? He therefore thought, and he
would appeal to the wor.by Alderman, whetlier
eludes as well as hypocrisy were not arrayed against
him? fit he must say, that cowardice only would
induce any one to impugn the wife from whom he
was separated...be never bad done so, and he pledged
himself he never would—(Applause; So much then
for separ-tion. If, on the one hand, fate had im-
pelled, and misfortune guided on -the other, he could
not help it; but why, at a meeting like that of yes.
terday, should anybody have come forward with
such a weapon : but who among them (alluding, as we.
understood, to his wife) would protect the head wreath
to save the crown? On an occasion like this, matters
like those should be left in the back groond--he thought
so, not because he himself was implicated, became be
was at all times able to defend himself—but it' wai
dastardly and cowardly to hold up females to public
obloquy in a public assembly. His conduct had been
faulty and immoral—he never concealed, although he
ever did and'should lament the fact and the cause (and
he said this without imputation to any one), but it was
sot for those who' stead near him to judge of his. or
the conduct -ot the females whose names bad been
brought into question.
While the Worthy Gentleman was thus aadressing
the Wardmote, thump, thump, thump, was heard at the
.door, and although the vestry (whicb is yet y spacious)
was tolerably well filled, a 90e1H00'1110te as to whether
the door should be opened or not ? ss No, no," was
echoed; 64 a Gentleman has already been'cOuveyedc.ut
of the roam, who had important duties to perks/m. on
account of the heat, and why should the doom be
opened ? Ibe room was already full" (said some). '-
A desultory conversation here took place between the
worthy Alderman who presided and several of his con-'
stituents, in the presence of Mr. Spottiswode; Mr. Al-
derman Venables. and others, who had made their
arpearance to witness the result of this day's proceed-
ings ; after *hies
Mr. Alderman WAITHUAW rose and said, that there
was nothing connected with the wardmote over which
he presided to. r quire closed doors, and therefore he
wished them to be opened. The mandate was no sooner
given than obeyed, and after mush aging and striv-
ing the anxious throng rushed in, belt its they obtained
the eetri, the cit zees, who were &atilt of their lives,
leaped over all boundaries, e'en the atermanic chair,
in order to pmerve themselves from expected pies-
sore.

Mr. Husit., intimated that he had complained of
closed doors ; nor by any allusion be had made did he
wish io impugn the worthy Alderman—.(Applatise).
Att-r some observations by Mr. AARON. the ward-
mote was adjourned until eleven to-morrow.
