coiled up its en.mnaus length within the very centre
of the citadel, that it possesses the malignity of the
serpent, the ferocity of the titer, and the strength of
the elephant; will this leviathan fall before the single

Bennett, or a Bedford? No, no, if it is destroyed it
will be by the noblest band of patriots that ever
graced our isle; and I call upon your talented repre-

THE COSFRRENCES WITH THE DEAN AND

CILIPTER OF ST. P,llll.'S.

Upon the notification of her Majesty's intention to
attend St. Paul's Cathedral, and the subsequent Re-
solutions of the Court of t7otinaton Council, a Com- I
tuittee of the Corporation was appointed to confer
with the Dean and Chapter upon the mode of order- I
ing and conducting the necessary arrangements, and
to take the proper steps fur preserving the peace of
the City,
The Committee were accordingly introduced to Dr.
Hughes, the Dean himself bring from ton n. They
were received with every mark of politeness aid re-
spect by the Rev. Doctor, but it was soon discoverable
that his authority was exceedingly limited, and con-
twitted by the higher •ers, by whose orders, it
should seem, be was restrained from agreeing to any
one of the ceseutial regulations or arrangements the
Committee proposed.
It was the wish of the Committee, that the admis-
sion to the Cathedral sl Id be by tickets only; but
though this arrangement is generally adopted upon
all public occasions at the Cathedral, Dr. Hughes's
instructions un this head were peremptory, that the
doors should be thrown open as upon ordinary ncca-
sions;
yet, notwithstanding this utter neglect of all
proper precaution, the Committee were given to un-
derstand, that the Lord Mayor and Corporation would
be looked to as responsible for any injury the Cathe-
dral might sustain.
The Consmittee, with the Lord Mayor at their head,
urged the utter impossibility of se. wring ordi r and
tranquillity if this determination was a. he Id to ;
that the indiscriminate admission of all iotrudeis upon
such an occasion, seas nut only highly indecorous and
improper, but calculated to insure and promote the
confusion, proft s.ed to he dreaded, and declared, that
under such ciri umstances, they would not be respon-
sible fur any consequences that might occur.
After much discussion, it was at length agreed that
every member t.t. the Corporation should have a ticket
of admission for himself and one other person ; that'
the members of the Committee, about thirty in num!,
ber, should be allowed two tickets each ; and thatl
2000 respectable househl lees, sworn in as special
constables, should be admitted into the Cathedral
for the purpose of forn inz a line to keep off the
crowd, and preserve a clear passage fur her Majesty to
proceed to the sent pre; meal fur her. The regular
notices ..vere accordingly issued, lurking the Miaow
to lend thensselvaa as special constables for the occa-
sion; and Mr. Al lerinsu Wood attended at the Ouild-
hall, yesterday, for the Purpose of swearing them in.
At a suhsequent interview with Dr.linglies, which
took plat e yesterday ii.orning, fresh dtificulties arose
the permission of an extra ticket to the members of
the Committee was revoked, and it was intimated that
the Centtnittee would not be suffered to appear with
wands, as it was the wish of the Dean and Chapter
that there should be rothing like a procession. Se-
veral respectable ladies, to the number of 170, were
desirous of being permitted to receive her Majesty
from her entry into the Cathedral, but the proposition
was immediately objected to by the representative of
the Dean, as wholly improper and inadmissible.
The use of wands was strongly contended for by
the Committee, as proper and necessary marks of au-
thority, without which it was hopeless for them to at-
tempt to regulate a body of two thousand con-
stables, who sr' add bare no means of knowing to
whose directions they wete to conform. The *need-
suer of respectab'e fetnales upon such an occasion, and
for the purpose proposed, it was observed, mast be
most gratif3ing to her Majesty, and, under proper ar-
rangements could he productive of se confusion or
disorder.

In vain, however, was all argument or observation
on the pate of the C 'ttee ; the Rev. Doctor had
received his instructions, from which it was evident he
hail no authority to depart; and at the breaking op
of the conference, it was the general understanding,
that the Loud Mayor and the Committee, finding ail
their efforts to effect a proper arrangement useless,
would relinquish all responsibility with regard to the
internal arrangements of the Cathedral, and direct
their attention solely to the previous attendance on
her Majesty, and the preservation of the peace daring
her entry and return through the city.
The committee met again in the evening at the
Chiilsikalls the Lord Mayor and Dr. Hughes ;were
p esen;, hnt at ten o'clock, when they ►roke up, no
essential alteration hail been obtained, except the
permission to the Committee to use wands, upon their
assuranee that they should be used only to preserve
the pear•, and a. t in any ceremonial.
Dr. Hughes expressed every willingness so hit part
to accede to the wishes of the Committee; but frankly
confessed be was acting under higher powers Asa the
Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's.

The accidents which arise from the imprudent, and
disobedience of servants, have never been more addict-
ingly esemplifird than in the late destruction of a
lovely child, the son of Robert Lightfoot, Req. of
Quality-court, Chancery-lase. The servants had posi-
tive orders not to employ vitriol fur the purpose of
cleaning fenders, kr. and no doubt was esters:shed of

•
WIDNEADAT EVENING. NOVEMISR 29.
THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO ST. PAUL'S.

STRAND, Qmarier post TWO o'clock.
The Procession is at th smo•nent on its returr, passing
oer Office in the greatest order and regularity. Her
Majesty's carriage is open ; the cavalcade is proceeding
at a (rick and uninterrupted pace, and forming a
spectacle the most sublime that can be imagined. Th„
enthusiasm of the multitude now assembled in g .
Clement's t;hurrh•yard, excited by the appearance of
her Majesty, is warm and lona beyond description.

This day, which had been anticipated with mita-
isn by all who could rejoice at the triumph of the
siost injured and exalted woman in the kingdom, and
with malevolence by such as had, from weakness or
front naseness, lent their countenance to injustice and
oppression, will Inng continue memorable in the an-
nals of Great Britain. A discarded wife, and in-
sulted Qualm, long suffering under a series of un-
usual persecutions, and recently escaping from a
most formidable consp:racy, has, after the exam-
ple of her illustrious relatives on every oc-
casion that demanded distinguished acknowledg-
ment, proceeded to return public thanks in the chief
Temple of the Empire, for the deliverance that Heaven
had vouchsafed to her. In proceeding thus in public,
and with solemn ceremony, to render unto GOO the
homage that was due, she has testified at the same
time that respect for the people, who under Goa,
from the unprecedented and impressive mariner is
which they have expressed their sense of the proceed-
ings against her, have co-operated with other legal
means as the most effective instruments of her deliver-
ance. The fall conviction which the people had re-
ceived other innocence and bee amiction, under all the
horrid charges that were brought against her In a
former persecution, prepared them for those extraor-
diner and matiinted deisoutrstioes et—iseliag aad

energy they have exhibited in the various stages of
her recent trial. The moment she reached the British
shore to face her accusers, the magnanimity and spirit
she evinced, the noble disdain with which she had re-
jected the temptations proposed to prevent her arrival.
and the frankness with which she threw herself upon
the country for protection, elicited in the highest tone
the congenial sentiments of a brave and generous peo-
ple. From the commencement of her proven towards
London from Dover, up to her return this day to her
home, from the Cathedral of St. Paul's, the people have
manifested toward• her Winter so invincible and en-
thusiastic attachment beyond example sad above all
praise.

At nine o'clock this morning, the Qcsav entered I
her carriage at Brandenburgh House. No style could
be more simple, or better suited to the solemnity of the
occasion, than that in which her Majesty appeared.
All snperfinons personal show and attendance on her
part were avoided. She was accompanied in her state
carriage only by Lady Ann Hamilton, and followed but
by one of her Vice-Chamberlains, in one of her chariots.
At the Broadway, Hammersmith, the es:ort of gentlemen
on horseback, appointed to attend her, awaited her ap-
proach. That escort was composed of gentlemen of Ham-
mersmith and the neighbouring villages, marshalled
four abreast, with white rosettes on their bosoms, and
on the manes of their horses, and amounting to at least
two thousand. They then preceeded her MAJESTY'S
carriage in excellent order, attended by several bands
of trumpets, and were met by the whole population of
the adjacent country, who densely thronged the road
rdsroagh Kensisgtos and Knightsbridge. Much as
this vicinity has been accustomed to be occasionally
crowded since the residence of the Qcsaw at Hammer-
smith, this day surpassed every other, in the multi-
tales collected to testify to her MAJESTY their loyalty
and love. Warm as was their seal, it was manifested
with a deference and decorum moot becoming and at-
footing; while her Ma.travr returned their expressions
of respect with every token of benignant and grateful
acknowledgmest. Though the weather Lad been
highly favourable, comeidering the season of the year,
her Maaassit's earrings wait Awed, and continued in
that state is all her progress as St. Paul's. (Miser
