had the gates of the City shut when the procession had passed in, so that there was no possibility that the people within Temple-bar could be exasperated, even if Lord Sidmouth had thought fit to display his vigour on the occasion. It was almost incredible that no accidents should have happened.

Rising superior to that wretched policy of courts, which would restrain or annihilate the best feelings of the human heart, her Majesty not only felt gratitude for the warm and generous attachment of the people;-but what is very rare in those of her rank, she lost no opportunity of acknowledging it,-and the following Letter was received by Mr. Pope, Chairman of the Committee appointed to manage the cavalcade which accompanied her Majesty to St. Paul's.

"Lower Brook-street, Thursday, Nov. 30, 1820. "Gentlemen,-I am honoured by the Queen's commands to convey to you the expression of her Majesty's sincere thanks for the attentions which she received from you, and all the gentlemen who composed the cavalcade which attended her to St. Paul's cathedral yesterday.

"Her Majesty is anxious that the sense which she entertains of these attentions should be made known to you in the most unequivocal manner; and requests that you will have the kindness to communicate this testimonial of it to the rest of the gentlemen who so obligingly accompanied her on that occasion. I have the honour to be, "Gentlemen, your very obedient humble servant,

(Signed)

R. KEPPEL CRAVEN, Vice Chamberlain.”

At the same time, the following Letter on the subject was received by the Lord Mayor.

Brandenburg-house, Monday, Dec. 4, 1820.

"My Lord, I am commanded by the Queen to say, that her Majesty would feel herself deficient in gratitude if she omitted to testify her obligations to yourself and the Corporation of the City of London for the extraordinary attentions which you paid her Majesty on her late attendance on his divine service at St. Paul's Cathedral. The Queen was in the highest degree gratified by the good order which she observed amongst a greater collection of persons than her Majesty had ever before beheld, or than any other city in Europe can exhibit. Her Majesty is more particularly obliged to your lordship, for your refusal to comply with the suggestions of the mind, or to yield to the alarms of the weak, as she is convinced that the people are too sober in their conduct, and too enlightened in their sentiments, to need the addition of military interference to enforce that obedience which is due to constitutional authority and lawful power. "I have the honor to be, my Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient servant,

R. K. CRAVEN, Vice-Chamberlain.

"To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of London."

Her Majesty having understood that a young woman of the name of Sarah Price, under sentence of death for uttering forged Bank notes, was ordered for execution on the 5th instant, felt greatly affected at the circumstance, and with her accustomed humanity determined on writing to the King imploring his clemency on her behalf,the following is a copy of her Majesty's letter.

“The Queen has heard, with pain, that a female is condemned to suffer death on Tuesday, for the offence of passing forged Bank-notes. Her Majesty cannot refrain from presuming recommend this unfortunate person to the mercy of the Ag. Her Majesty does not enter into any judicial discussion; but, from the particular nature of this offence, and the very peculiar state of the law respecting it, she is encouraged to hope that the earnest appeal which her feelings have prompted may not have been made in vain.-Brandenburg-house, Dec. 3."

Lord Sidmouth's answer was, that the warrant for the execution was in consequence of an Order in Council, and that the King could not interfere. The young woman suffered the dreadful sentence of the law on the day fixed for that purpose.

Innumerable addresses of congratulation on her Majesty's triumph, continued to pour in for several successive weeks, and on these occasions the town presented scenes of gaiety and pageantry that perhaps were never exceeded; meetings were likewise held throughout every part of the country, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament to restore her Majesty's name to the liturgy, and to re-instate her fully in her just rights and dig nities,―these matters as well as the necessary provision and residence suitable to her Majesty's rank, were expected to become the first subjects that would engage the attention of Parliament on its approaching meeting.

On the 23rd of January, the day to which it

had been prorogued, parliament assembled, and was opened by the King in person; when the following formed a part of his Majesty's speech delivered from the Throne.

"The 'separate provision which was made for the Queen, as Princess of Wales, in the year 1814, terminated with the demise of his late Majesty. I have in the mean time, directed advances, as authorized by Law; and it will, under present circumstances, be for you to consider what new arrangements should be made on this subject."

In the Commons, Lord A. HAMILTON gave notice that on Friday the 26th instant he should bring forward a motion relative to the omission of the Queen's name in the Liturgy.

Mr. WETHERELL gave notice of a motion for the production of documents relative to the Liturgy, on some day before Friday, which, after an amendment, was entered for the following day.

Lord CASTLEREAGH in alluding to the general topics of his Majesty's speech, took occasion to assure the house, that no further measures of a hostile nature were intended with respect to her Majesty, but that the projected arrangement noticed in the speech from the Throne, meant nothing else than a suitable provision, the specific amount of which would be left to the wisdom of Parliament. He took the opportunity of giving notice that it was his intention on Wednesday se'nnight, to submit a proposition to the house for

a suitable provision for her Majesty, and he might perhaps as well add, that this would be the only proposition which his Majesty's ministers intended to bring forward upon this anxious and painful subject.

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 24.-Sir W. LEMON presented a petition from Truro, expressing the strongest disapprobation of the late Bill, and praying for the restoration of her Majesty's name in the Liturgy, and restitution of all her rights; for due inquiry into the late proceedings, in order to protect innocence, and to punish guilt. Petitions to a similar effect were presented by various members from Bridgewater, Northallerton, Beverley, Stroud, Gateshead, the County of Wilts, Great Grimsby, Banff, Aberdeen, Annan, Arbroath, Devizes, Ilchester, Axminster, Honiton, Sudbury, and from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Commons of the City of London. Similar Petitions, to an almost innumerable extent, were presented for several days following, to both Houses, by various members, the whole of which were received, and ordered to be laid on the table.

On Friday, January the 26th, Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON, agreeable to notice given, rose to bring forward his important motion, to place her Majesty's name in the Liturgy. He called the attention of the House to the vast multitude of Petitions presented on the subject, and intreated that they should be added to the observations he had to make, on a topic which had created such a ferment in the public mind. He did not wait to
