3IAV tz rxr.asz YOISI MAJESIV,
" We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, in-
habitants of the Town of Portsmouth, beg leave, on this your
Majesty's first visit, off this port, since your Majesty's acces-
sion to the Throne of these Realms, to approach your Royal
Person, and to offer to your Majesty our renewed assurances of
our inviolable attachment to your Majesty's Person and Govern-
ment. We at the same time presume to express our humble
but carrest prayer that your Majesty may long continue to reign
in the hearts of a loyal and affectionate People, and in the en-
joyment of uninterrupted health and every earthly blessing."

During the reading of this Address, his MAJESTY
WAS much affected. He was supported, on his right,
by Sir W. KEPPEL, Sir, G. COCKBURN, and Sir G.
CAMPBELL; on his left were Sir E. NAGLE, Sir C.
PAGET, General THORNTON, and Mr. WATSON, Pri-
vate Secretary to the Household.—His MAJESTY was
then pleased to return the following Answer:
"s GraTtestex--I have great pleasure in receiving this consti-
tutional and affectionate Address from the loyal inhabitants of
the ancient and renowned sea-port town of Portsmouth. No-
thing can be more acceptable to my feelings than the expres-
sion of the inviolable sentiments of a loyal people, faithfully at-
tached to the Crown and Constitution of the realm, and sensi-
ble
of the blessings which they enjoy under them. I cannot
visit this great naval station wi:hout contemplating, with just
pride, the numerous expeditions which have proceeded from its
shore, whose brilliant achievements have shed such lasting glory
on the navy of the United Kingdom, and so eminently contri-
buted to the security of this vast Empire. It will ever be a
source of sincere gratification to me to know, that the town, so
usefully connected with this great and warlike station, is addi-
tionally blessed with prosperity and happiness in its peaceful
relations."

After having returned this Answer, his MAJESTY
conferred the honour of Knighthood on G. GARRETT,.
Esq. now Sir GEORGE GARRETT ; and he, as well as
the other Gentlemen, were severally presented, and
kissed hands.
During the above ceremony, the artillery on shore
kept firing, and the bells were ringing a merry peal.

the following Officers to dinner :
Admiral Sir G. Campbell, as Admiral of the Port; Captains
Hollis, Raggett, Briggs, Vernon, Marryatt, and Lloyd, Cap-
tains in the Pvrt ; Captains Sir C. Paget, Sir C. Burrard, Fisher,

Monday the Shipwrights and Dock-yard men in
the Metropolis and its-vicinity are to go in eroccs-

sion will be extremely numerous, and Nvill precede
the line of carriages containing the Ladies and Gen-
tlemen who are to go up with the Address of the
Male and Female Inhabitants of the Metropolis,
voted on Tuesday at the Freemasons' Tavern.
A very numerous Meeting of the Lightermen and
Watermen of the Port of London, w Olin the Lord
Mayor's jurisdiction, which extends from the mouth
of the Medway to London Stone, above Staines
Bridge, took place at the King's Head, in the Borough,
on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of voting an
Address to her MAJESTY. Mr. J. C. ItYLAND was
unanimously called to the Chair. Some observations
were made by several of the members of the Meet-
ing, who reprobated the severe tendency of the
new measure, which expressed the patriotic feeling
of the advisers of his Majesty in a way which it
W3S impossible not to understand. They argued,
that the Bill of Pains and Penalties was a worthy
part of the system pursued by Ministers_ to mark
the distance between the upper and lower ranks
of the population of the country, or rather the
idle and the industrious classes. It was matter
greatly to be lamented, that for the purpose of
proving the determination of Ministers to act upon
a bad system, the national gallantry of England
should be tarnished by an attack upon a female.
—Several Resolutions were voted, and an Address
proposed and adopted, amidst cheers. On Wednes.
day a Deputation from the Meeting, waited on her
MAJESTY to know when it would be her pleasure to
receive the Address, when she was graciously pleased
to appoint Tuesday next.—Several stairs are now
erecting on the river side, at the bottom of-the lawn,
to facilitate the landing of the procession. The barge
in which the Committee, appointed to carry up the
Address oathe 3d of October, are. to be accommo-
dated, is that which has been used upon state occa-
sions, and will be in readiness at the south side of
Southwark Bridge at nine o'clock in the morning
precisely. The men appointed to row the state-
barge are to appear dressed in uniform, and wear
scarlet and black caps. The barge•will be adorned
with the national flags, richly emblazoned on silk.
We all recollect with what promptitude Ma-
jocchi, the Italian shipmaster, and his mate, deponed
that they had seen BERGAMI and the QUEEN sitting
on a gun, on the deck of the vessel, and kissing one
