blematic devices, music, &r.:—
Brass Founders and Coppersmiths, Calico Priti
Tin Plate Workers, Mass-blowers, Carpenters)
Joiners, and the " London Industrious Clasass."
Of these the calico-printers displayed, some;
beautiful specimens of their ingenuity in large II
banners, &c. The carpenters and Joiners had a i
extensive display of well executed nags, with pl,
of music, and the " London Industrious Classes"
hibited numerous curious devices hi iron and we
but the Brass-founders and Coppersmiths carried
before them in the way of splendid pageantry,' '
1 The deputatiou consisted of at least eight haul
• persons, marching in column four abreast, and el,
individual bearing in . his hand a lung brass 1
or wand, surmounted with some devise or othar,l.
I the way of their trade. The column was led by a,
I son on horseback, armed cap-a-pie, in a complete
very splendid suite of brass trale armour. He,
' preceded by 3 trumpeters on horseback, and mead.
by six regaires, on foot, in half-steel armour. Swarm
other Kni:Thts, some of them in brass-plate gnaw
and others in steel, were stationed at equal distaa
' throughout the column, with their attendants on fame
and the whole of them having plumes of white MS.
there in their helmets. Several individuals wore
of polished brass and copper, made in the form of
ft;
orlinary beaver hat. The other devices were in iad.

Alajoecki in the pillory ; figure df het 11111ajisse

partizans and battle-axes, vases and urns ofsa
possible outline and decoration, filled with zffi
dowers, cornucopia ; doves, eagles, ostriches; Nap,
tiara mummies; the British Lion; crocodiles, an*,
tors, hippogriffs, monsters, gorgons, and hob%
and chimeras dire." Besides these, there were -
multitude of models and of copper utensils,
vessels of every description ; from the stupradeee
single and doable still, to the more humble tea-kettle,
warming-pan, &c. But the most splendid and Oa.
posing of these insignia was the Royal Crows. Wail.
rably. executed, and bore aloft by four atet ea 14
superb scrolled trellis work of polished brass, Mittel
Iby matted foliage. This was surrounded by penults
bearing, on long brazen wanda, gigantic imitation
, the rose, thistle, and shamrock. Behind this followed
I a long banner, stretched upon two pules, sash
mounted by a Royal Crown, and the inscriptintli
banner, "As it should be." " Caroline Itegios,
in spite of them."—" Hail Queen of Bitgland!".....o
sound conscience is a wall of braes"—and
Quecies guards are men of meta," ase a few 'of
other mottoes displayed.
jThe whole of this immense procession was
some difficulty packed and wedged into the ,
Oallery, and the coup efecil has a novel and very tb,
'1 posing effect, when at a given signal, on her Majesty's
entering, every man simultaneously held .his. wad
aloft ; and the armed Jraights, who occupied die
centre of the van, shook their brasea ttaatthmi

fellow could carry), was produced, and the .Adilreis

in theft:secs, and laid on the steps of the platten.,
l and Mr. Alderman Wood having read her Majesty's
answer, the whole passed before her and retired.
1 The whole of the pedestrian processions returned '
good order in the evening. Th' Brasil-Workers

larger streets made a display more picturesque
splendid than even by day. 'No occident to our

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.

-ow--
TIIE KM'S SPEECH.

We step the press to announce that his Majesty in per-
son opened the Parliament, this afternoon, in a Speech
of Which the following is the substance.
The Foreign Powers continue friendly ; and the late
Continental events are not likely to disturb that friend-

ship.
A reduction of the military establishment is promised.
The deficiency in the Irish Revenue is confessed; aa4
is attributed to the unhappy circutustances which have
lately affected that country.
'nit gnglish Revenue is then noticed ; and while an
Improvensen it is stated has taken place, it is not de-
ities' that that improvement has originated iu the
time taxes. It is stated however, that in that
breach at the Retinae from which the state
a Me country is generally ascertained. an int.
provessest has lately taken place; and thence it is con-
cluded that an abatement has taken place in the districts
*tour manufacturers, and that commerce will speedily
flearish anew.

The topic relative to the Queen is touched very deli-
cately. It is stated that the provision which, iu 1514,
was made for her as Princess of Wales, ceased at his
Vllajesty's death—that advances have been made to her
since that event ; and it is t. t to the Commons to settle
I' ander all the circumstances" a permanent provision.
The LOYAL Atmacssas were then alluded to in a tone
of muck triumph, They are called so many testimonies
of Loyalty to his Majesty's Person and Government,
and they are declared to speak the affections of the peo-
. pie, which are admitted to be the best safeguard of the
Throne.
(A Second Edition, with the Speech rertatim, will be
give% at four o'clock.)
The usual formalities took place in the House of
COMUIOOII where the Address was read and seconded.

After the lapse of several tnontha, Ministers have
Ott last recovered sofficleat courage to face an insulted
tarliament, aid an indignant country. The interval

- -
isetweett their past and their fawn defeats has been

long I hew has It been employed ? Has it been spent
.fp Optisipt,Behome. of robot wis.olll, VT In prepara-
tions to render tardy justice to the object of incessant
pertecutions ? has it not rather been used in ac-
tire► but we trust, unavailing endeavours to strengthen
thehr tottering edifice, and by threats, adjurations, and
protnises, to persuade a few weak-minded and credulous
men to fill up the gaping void left by the desertion of
thei r friends and colleagues, and to share at once their
disl race and their ruin ! A few hours will reveal to the
Con utry the secret of these mighty operations. How
Natty years may not be required to repair their perni-
tient, results; Measures of conciliation, and even of
hiemiliation on the part of the persecutors, are now,
we are told, to be adopted. But how can we trust
the protestations of men, who have uniformly repre-
ss nted Reform as Revolution, and improvement as
rids? Let us look at their conduct during the last
fix years only, and there we shall see what co►►fidence
tan be placed in the honesty of their pron►ises and
I,he wisdom of their councils. Who did not i►nagine
'that when the toils and dangers of our foreign crusade
shotild have ceased, inward tranquillity would return
with external peace ? inn did not believe that a sense
of personal interest, if not one of public duty, would
impel these Ministers, whose expensive and unneces-
sary wars had exhausted all the resources of the
Country, to endeavour by strict economy and undivided
attention, to soften, if not to repair, the deep injury
which their measures had inflicted? Did even the old-
est opponents of Adn►istratiun start a doubt upon the
subject? No; the line of action was so strongly
marked, the path so clear and straight, that error
appeared impossible, and wilful dereliction too bare-
faced
to he atten►pted. Never had any Govern- I
went found itself so unshackled in its plans
end in their execution as at that period. A
delusion, the mire dangerons as it was natural, had
fallen upon all classes. The European contest was
elated, and triumphantly closed ; all other consi-
derations were sunk and lost in this. Success, like
the light of the sun, on the skirts of the retiring storm,
threw a momentary gilding over the sacrifices of the
past. Hope illumined the future ; and the nation,
still wild and giddy with the rapid and ►nighty changes
which had suddenly laid the world at her feet, re-
signed herself with scarce a thought, and without a
fear, to the guidance of the conquerors of the moment.
What an opportunity for the honest to repair his
41"011 for the wise to exercise his wisdom for
the patriotic to serve his country ! But how has
that opportunity been used ? What errors have
been repaired ? What wisdom has been displayed ?
What services has the country received ? She had
been dragged into war by solemn assurances that war
