Engllsh Eyents OF tIe week.

Since the commencement of thu Papal storm
nothing seems to have given such general salts
faction as the Queens answer to the address pre-
sented to her at Windsor Castle on Tuesday.
Lord John Russell is represented to have stood
near the throne looking very grave and thought
full his finger pressed upon his lips. No wonder.
He must have beeniueditating upon the effect the
words which he had put into her majesty mouth
which were so soon TO be difFused wherever the
English language was spoken. He has succeeded
admirably, aud may fairly lay claim to more than
the wisdom of the sybil.
The tone of the Queens answer is grave and
dignfed, but it is impossible to tell what 1t fore
shadows. Her Majesty Professionalism has never
been questioned, and her determination to uphold
the Protestant faith and to maintain against any
danger with which it may be threatened from
whatever quarter it may proceed, was spoken
right royalty, and as became the Sovereign OF an
Empire on which the sun never sets. But Her
Majesty congratulates the Lord Mayor and the
Aldermen on their attachment TO the great princ-
pies Of civil and religious liberty and in her ad
dress to the Common Council she speaks warmly
of their tried and constant advocacy OF the equal
endowment Of civil rights by all classes. These
sentiments indicate no return to penal laws to
put down aggression they intimate, on the con
trary, that moral and not legal power is the only
weapon with which to meet the enemy. The
clear admission seems to be made that every class
has a right to civil and religious freedom, so long
as it does not attempt to interfere with the civil
and relisous freedom of others. Bat the best
pfoof of the consummate tact with which these
addresses have been composed is to be seen in
