THS QUER.V.

The Pancras Address was presented on Tuesday ;
there were 103 carriages in the procession, with a fall
band of music, and three trumpeters; 90 of these
were barosches with four horses, two-thirds of which
(holding six each) were filled with ladies elegantly
dressed, and in the first respectability in the middle
ranks of society. The rest were private carriages:
tod to 60 horsemen (volunteers) headed the procession;
and others disposed themselves on each side, and In
th roue, to preserve order and regularity.
a he procession was accompanied throughout with a
large proportion of male and finisle inhabitants, who
c:owded the road on both sides ; and the crowd, in
returning, increased as the carriages approached the
rtrish. In returning, the music-waggons and car-
riages proceeded through Hide-park, and down Ox-
-I,rd-sum. When it reached Tottenham-court-road

there could not be leas than 10,000 voices engaged in
one universal hulas, which continued with little inter-
miision along the whole of Tottenham-court, Ste. to
the Sourhainpton•aruss, in Camden-town, where an
elegant dinner had been provided for by the committee
sad their friends, who spent an evening full of har-
mony, under a consciousness of having discharged an
imperative duty to the laws, liberties, and morality,
of the people of this once happy country.
Major Cartwright, the chairman of the meeting on
the 21st, was dressed in the uniform of a Captain of
the British navy, and was incited by her Majesty to
dinner ; Mr. Alderman Wool, Peter Moore, Esq., and
fir Berard Noel, were also present. The Major dined
with the Queen accordingly, highly tattered with this
mark of her Majesty's condsscension, not only to the
vent able Major himself, but also to the parishioners
of St. Pancras. _ _

Her alAjesty's Answer to the Address from the Pa-
rishioners of St. Pancras.

" I accept, with unfeigned satisfaction, this loyal and
affectionate Address from the Inhabitants of the Parish
of St. Pancras anti its vicinity.
" I feel that my interest is completely identified with
that of the people ; and that there is a reciprocity both in
our friendships and our enmities. Those who are la-
houring leo pollute my honour, are, in the same act.
t anishing the national glory, in its judicial character,
Those who are solicitous to deprive sae of my dignities,
hive ever shown themselves ready to embrace any oppor-
tunity of stripping the nation of its rights. Those who
are eager to degrade the Queen, leave never manifested
any repugnance in abridging the Liberties of the People.
Where any country is governed by a Faction, it
must be governed more for the benefit of a few,
than fur the interests of all. Under the Government of
a Faction, the common good is a prey to the rapacity of
individuals, The Vulture and the Cormorant penetrate
into the Treasury, where patriotic disinterestedness
ought to preside ; and into the sanctuary where gentle
piety ought to dwell.
" Under a just and beneficent Government, neither
nor evil is partially dispensed : there is an equal
notdribution of benefits, and a • 'lady equal participa-
tion of borthens or calansities : there es nothing exclu-
sire!-•;-The blessings of a wise Administration are ins-
partially scattered, as the dew of Heaven Is equally dif-
fused.
" A Bill of Pains and Penalties is so unconstitutional
in its principle, so tyrannical in its nature, and so unjust
in its operations, that I trust the present is the last at-
tempt of the kind that will be made on the Liberties of
Englishmen. 111 should he the means of putting art
rail for ever to such an arbitrary exertion of Legislative
power, and such an illegal invasion of individual right,
I shall• not have lived in vain."
To the inhabitants of the City of Bristol her Majes-
ty returned the following answer :
" I am deeply indebted to the householders and Inha-
bitants of the city of Bristol for this loyal and affection-
ate Address.
" I coold
not suppose that the citisens of this great
seat of commerce would contemplate with indifference
the insults that have been offered to the Queen, or could
regard with apathy her accumulated sufferings and re-
peated persecutions.
" I presume not to blame the ways of Providence, to
doubt the wisdom or I. question the goodness of any of
his decrees. The great attribute Deity is love ;
I'll4lllms ken is more than parental to the whole race of
man.
" The 'revered Mil to which the human been can bo
ms tim premature death at than we love. At
