dices, or have been labouring to keep otters within the eoofinee'
of ignorance and superstition. In short, they ate still children,
while the Nation has grown up to manhood. They are still in
the leading-strings of puerile maxims, while the People have learn-
ed to walk erect in the light of new truths and of better principles.
" My heart is tenderly touched with a sense of those miseries
which the inhabitants of Spitalfielils mention as characterizing
the general state of the country at the present period. Had I
the power of mitigating those miseries, my gee( would be less;
but, at present. I lament evils and deplore calamities fur which
I cannot furnisha remedy; and I grieve the more, because I
grieve in vain."

This was followed by the Deputation from the
Ward of Cripplegate Within, in thirty close carriages
with pairs of horses, which passed through Ham-
mersmith at half-past one. The following is her
MAJESTY'S Answer to the Address :
" I am deeply obliged to the Inhabitants and Freemen of the
Ward of Cripplegate-Witbin for an Address so loyal and so af-
fectionate towards myself, and at the same time breathing the
purest sentiments of constitutional liberty.
" The light of liberty was long preserved in the ark of the
British Constitution, when it was extinguished, or almost extinct,
in every other part of the world. It is from this light that the
people of other countries have originally derived a large part of
their present political illumination. Ilere the spirit of liberty
was first kindled ; and hence its sacred heat was imparted to the
bosoms of the wise, the generous, and the brave, in other
1 branches of the great European family. But, while other nations
have been indebted to us for a portion of this heavenly fire, we
have ourselves suffered the flame to become languid and weak
in that temple of constitutional freedom which it once so splen-
didly illaminated.
" It would afford me the sweetest satisfaction to be in any
degree instrumental in rekindling the dying lire of national
liberty, and in rendering the British Constitution what it once
was—the glory of the world.
In the conflict which I ant waging with my adversaries in
defence of my violated rights, I antdefending the rights of every
Englishman. If I ant successful in this conaict, the victory wi.l
redound less to my on n personal satisfaction than to that which
I derive from the ref -ction that the rights of individuals, and
the general liberties of the nation, will henceforth be secured
asrainst the domineering views of that selfish faction, which is
equally an enemy to every improvement in the political condition
of man in this country, and in every part of the world.
" Perhaps I ought to triumph in the indignities I have expe-
rienced, and to rejoice in the wrongs I have suffered, as those
wrongs and indignities have been the means which PROVIDENTE
has employed for P iciting such a spirit in the nation as must
tend to secure the rights of the people, and to enlarge the prac-
tical benefits of the Constitution."

The next in the order of arrival was the Aldgate
Deputation. It reached the church at two o'clock.
Two Beadles on horseback with maces led the way,
followed by a horseman bearing a large blue silk
Hag, inscribed Aldgate Address," in letters of gold ;
atter which came eighteen close carriages with four
horses rag), conveying nearly an equal number of
Ladies and Gentlemen, the former of whom were
elegantly dressed, and afforded a most interest-
ing spectacle.
Last in order, but not least in attraction, either in
point of number or of brilliancy, was the procession
from Paddington.
As the parties severally arrived at Brandenburgh
House, the Deputations were ushered into her .MA-
JESTY S presence, and were most graciously received,
while the crowds assembled in front of the house rent
the air with acclamations.

The form and ceremonial of presentation observed
being nearly similar in each instance, we have re-
served our description thereof for our account of the
reception of the Deputation from Paddington.
The procession for carrying up this Address was
more numerous and respectable in appearance than
any which has yet gone up. The coaches began to
assemble at an early hour round Paddington-green.
They were arranged afterwards upon the Edgeware-
road. Sir GERARD NOEL, Mr. P. Moose, and Mr.
Hume, were greeted with loud acclamations on their
arrival at the place of rendezvous. Being strongly
solicited by the Committee, they alighted, and went
into the mansion of THOMAS THATCHER, Esq.
w:lere the Committee were assembled in one room,
and a large company of the Ladies who were to
attend the procession, in another. Having received
the respects of this assembly they returned to their
carriages. The procession then fell into line in the
following order :—The carriage of Mr. THATCHER
wept first: then followed six barouches, one with six,
the rest with four horses, mostly grey, which con-
tained the Committee, the members of which bore
white wands, and wore at the end of a blue ribband
a large medal, the front of which was stamped with
the profile of the Quees ; the Members of Parlia-
ment, viz. Sir G. Nom., Mr. P. MOORE, and Mr.
Hume, followed next in their private carriages. Af-
-11 ter these came twenty-eight barouches and four,
which were again followed by about sit coaches and
pairs, tilled with the parishioners, the greater part
being elegantly-dressed females. The procession
being formed, it began to move at half-past one
o'clock. It fell down from the road, which it co-
vered for a quarter of a mile, into one of the streets
' bids leads to the south side of Portman-square.
Having gone round the square, it crossed Oxford-
street, and passing through the weal side of Gros-
venor-squ'are, and South Audley-street, came out at
Hyde Palk Corner, and took the high road through
Kensington and Hammersmith.. The procession was
greeted with shouts by the various groupes which
had formed in every station which could be occupied
along the road. In consequence of the great num-
bers which had accompanied the previous Addresses,'
it was a long time before this procession could make I
its way inside the gates of the garden at Branden-
burgh House. At about half-past three o'clock an
entry was effected, and by half-past four the com-
pany were all set down. As the procession ap-,
proacl.ed the house, her Mantsry was seen at one of
the windows bowing to the multitude of very re-
spectable and well-dressed people, who covered a
part of the law:, and filled up all the interstices of
the shrubbery immediately in front of the house.
The Paddington people had two Addresses to pre-
sent—that of the married females had precedence.
Accordingly, the Ladies formed at the upper end of
the room, the Stewards keeping off the pressure from
behind them. A side door opened, and I:er MAJESTY
entered the room, She bowed very graciously to
the assembly. The Address being presented to her,
'he 'Art it into the hands of the Rev. Mr. MARCUS,
who read it in a very touching and emphatic man-
ner, and Mr. Alderman WooD, at her MAJESTY'S re-
que•t, lead her Answer.
The Ladies were then permitted to kiss hands,
and, drawing of as they effected this ceremony,
made way for the Male Inhabitants, whose Address
being also read by the Rev. Mr. MARCUS, with as
mud' feeling and judgment as the former, her MA..
sunk again requested Mr. Alderman WOOD to read
;ter Answer.
After the Answer was concluded; the Gentlemen
passed by her MAJILSTY in the same maser AS the.
