THE QUEEN.

Her Majesty received a great number of Addresses
at Brandenburgls House yesterday..
The circumstance created the same interest as usual.
'lle road from town pas covered with people on foot,
and in vehicles of all sort.; an immense crowd as-
sem'oled in the grounds of the house; flags were dis-
played front the steeples of the village, churches, and
the windows of many houses, the bells were rung,
and t annuli were fired continually throughout the day.
It is trite, the heavy shower in the morning rather
damped the joyousness of these proceedings ; but
when at length the sun shone forth with renewed
splendour, the etowil again pressed forward with In-
treased ardour for the scene of action till the demesne
at Brandenbnrgh House was thronged almost to suf-
focation. The crowd too, on the whole, was of a much
wore respectable complexion than upon any former
occasion. A strong party of the Bow-street patrole
were in attendance as usual, together with the whole
posse comitaters of Hammersmith, and the adjoining
villages; but, notwithstanding their utmost vigilance,
the shrubberies, fences, est:. suffered much farther
damage.
The Addresses began to arrive about half-past
twelve o'clock ; and each deputation as it came up had
as immediate andience, their carriages drawing off the
the while on to the lawn; and thither the company
had to follow them as their respective audiences were
over, thereby preventing the confusion which has
heretofore been occasioned by the carriages coming
to the door to take up.
The first Address, in order of their arrival, was one
from Birmingham, and if we may judge front the cir-
cunsference of the roll of parchment, it must have a
very lengthy list of names. This Addres• was brought
by Major Cartwright, Mr. Wooler, and another per-
son, whose name we did not learn. They came in a
private carriage with a livery, and the Major wore a
Naval Captain's full uniform.
The Address from the Ward of Farringdon-Without
was the next. 'I he deputation was preceded by the
Ward Officers on horseback in their official dresses ;
then followed Mr. Alderman Waithman (wearing his
scarlet robes in his private carriage, accompanied by
two of his wins, and thirty-one open lambus, mostly
with four horses each, and containing the Common-
Councilmen of the %Ward in their violet gowns; the
Liverymen, &c. with many of their wives and daughters,
brought up the rear.
An Address from Stroutlwater in Gloucestershire
was next presented by Mr. Thoutaa Mills, the High
Constable of the place, and two other persons. They
arrived in a very gay private carriage with four horses.
the drivers wearing jackets of sky-blue satin, and the
whole decorated with a profusion of enormous white
cockades.
The Spitalfields address followed ; the deputation
ozettpying twenty-four open landaus with four horses
each, and the whole of the postillions in yellow satin.
13 ore the leading carriage in this procession was
displayed a large silk banner of very costly and
curious workmanship—the device emblematic of
Britannia encouraging the Genius of Spitalfields, we
presume.
Mr. Hobhouse and Mr. Whitbread, brought down
the Manchester Address.
Mr. Ellice and Mr. Peter Moore following with the
Address from Coventry.
Mr. Hume also brought down an Address, we un-
derstood, from Dundee.
The Address front the Ward of Cripplegate-Within
was the next inoreler, and the deputation accompany-
ing it filled twenty-eight carriages, with pairs.
The Aldgate Ward Address, with an equally nu-
merous string of carriages, but mostly with four
horses, nas next in order. They were preceded by
the Ward Officers with their maces, &c. and a person
on horseback bearing a blue silk flag, inscribed
" Aldgate Address."
The last and most splendid procession of the day
was the one with the Paddington Address. It com-
prised a line of at least fifty open carriages and four,
led by the Committee in three open carriages, with
six handsome grey horses in each. 'I he whole of the
Committee were in full dress with cocked bats, wands,
Ise. and they all wore Mr. George Mills's new medal
of the QueeN, suspended round the shoulders by
broad garter blue ribbons. The other marriages were
all filled with persons of the most respectable appear-
sect, and a large proportion of them were females,
generalty very elegantly and fashionably attired. The
male Address brought by this Deputation was present-
- ed and read by the Rev. Mr. Marcus, and the female
one was presented by Mrs. Thatcher, wife of Thos.
hatcher, Esq. of Manor place, Paddington, and read
by the above Bev. Gentleman.
Re understand that an Address was also presented
from Tiverton, in Devoaahire, and two from Leeds,
one from the male and the other front the female in-
IsalAants.
Her Majesty was attended by her Chamberlain',
S'r W. (Jell and the Hon. K. Craven, Lady Hamil-
ton, several distinguished Foreigners. Mr.
Aide Wood read the whole of her Majesty's
Anew' Her Majesty appeared in excellent health
als cheerful, and she repeatedly appeared at the
windy s in the coarse of the day, when she was
always received with the must enthusiastic acclamation
by the immense crowds assembled in front of the man-
sion. It was nearly six o'clock in the evening before
the Paddington Deputation were all re-seated in their
carriages.
Her Majesty returned the following answers to the
respective Addresses presented to her
TO TUX ADDRUS FROM ?RR WARD Or PARRINOnoy-
WITUOCT.
The Inhabitants of the Want of Farringdon Without
• have long 'howls themselves the friends of liberty and '
the enemies of oppreasion. It gives me, therefor, great
pleasure to receive this animated, eonstitntional, and af-
fectionate address from citizen' of the metropolis, whose
principles are so congenial with env soul.
The warm, indeed the unexampled sympathy which I
have experienc.d on the part of the British people.*
not only alleviated my sufferings, but has added sire
to that fortitude which the internal sentiments of into-
.
gritv would never suffer to languish in my heart. At
the same time, if I do not gel, perhaps I ought to feel
more gratitude than resentment towards my enemies, for
the errougs which they have endeavoured to heap span
we, when I eonaider stoat those wrongs are likely, under
the diseetioa of a superintending Providence, to assist
