of Parliament, derogatory from the dignity of the Crown, and injurious to the best interests of the Empire." ar On Saturday, June 24, a deputation of the House of Commons waited on her Ma. jesty. The deputation consisted of Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. Stuart Wortley, Sir T. D. Acland, and Mr. Bankes. Her Majesty received them in the drawing room, where she was attended by Lady Anne Hamilton, and by Messrs. Brougham and Denman on her right and left side, in their full-bottomed wigs and silk gowns. The members of the deputation were severally introduced to her Majesty by Mr. Brougham, and had the honour of kissing her Majesty's hand. Mr. Wilberforce then read the Resolutions of the House of Commons. The following reply was then read by Mr. Brougham: "I am bound to receive with gratitude every attempt on the part of the House of Commons to interpose its high mediation, for the purpose of healing those unhappy differences in the Royal Family, which no person has so much reason to deplore as myself. And with perfect truth I can declare, that an entire reconcilement of those differences, effected by the authority of Parliament, on principles consistent with the honour and dignity of all the parties, is still the object dearest to my heart. "I cannot refrain from expressing my deep sense of the affectionate language of these resolutions. It shews the House of Commons to be the faithful representative of that generous people to whom I owe a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. I am sensible, too, that I expose myself to the risk of displeasing those who may soon be the Judges of my conduct. But I trust to their candour and their sense of honour, confident that they will enter into the feelings which alone influence my determination. It would ill become me to question the power of Parliament, or the mode in which it may at any time be exercised. But, however strongly I may feel the necessity of submitting to its authority, the question, whether I will make myself a party to any measure proposed, must be decided by my own feelings and conscience, and by them alone. "As a subject of the State, I shall bow with deference, and, if possible, without a murmur, to every act of the Sovereign Authority. But, as an accused and injured Queen, I owe it to the King, to myself, and to all my fellow subjects, not to consent to the sacrifice of any essential privilege, or withdraw my appeal to those principles of public justice, which are alike the safeguard of the highest and the bumblest individual.” Wednesday, June 14. A Court of Common Council of the City of London was held for the purpose of presenting a Congratulatory Address to Queen Caroline, on her arrival in this country.— The Address was proposed by Mr. Favell. The Sheriffs having waited on the Queen, to know at what time she would be pleased to receive the Address, her Majesty appointed Friday, at one o'clock. On that day the Lord Mayor, in full state, attended by Aldermen Wood, Thorp, Waithman, Mr. Sheriff Rothwell, Mr. Sheriff Parkins, the Common Serjeant, City Officers, and about 90 members of the Common Council, set out from Guildball about twelve o'clock, and proceeded to her Majesty's residence in Portman-street, accompanied by an immense concourse of people. Every arrangement had been made for the reception of the Corporation. After their admission, the Common Serjeant read an Address, Her Majesty was evidently much affected during the reading of the Address, but bore the pressure of her recollections with dignified self-command. The Queen returned a most gracious answer. Friday, May 12. In the Court of King's Bench, in the case Richard Hayes, clerk, v. E. A. Kendall, Esq. Mr. Chitty moved for a rule to shew cause why a commission should not be sent out to Rome, for the purpose of examining his Holiness Pope Pius VII. Cardinal Gonsalvi, and other church dig. nitaries of that city, in order to support certain special pleas of justification to an action for a libel brought by the plaintiff, a Catholic clergyman of Ireland, against the defendant. The cause was set down for trial by special jury at the sittings after next Term; and it was sworn that the defendant could not safely proceed to trial without the testimony of the above named witnesses. A rule to shew cause was granted. Tuesday, May 16. In the cause of Lord Hawke e. Corri, calling herself Lady Hawke, in the Consistory Court, Sir W.Scott dismissed the suit. Thursday, May 18. The anniversary festival of the Corpo. ration of the Sons of the Clergy, which has for its object the apprenticing the Children of the necessitous Clergymen, took place in St. Paul's. The Cathedral had to boast the attendance of a great number of persons of rank, fashion, and respectability. The collections both at the door, and after dinner at Merchant Tailor's-hall, were very considerable. were com by which It appears, "that of 519 Gaols That the defective construction and discipline of the Gauls is productive of much crime and misery; that experience has satisfactorily demonstrated the beneficial effects of salutary arrangements in Prison Discipline, by which humane treatment, constant inspection, moral and religious instruction, judicious classification, and well-regulated labour, seldom fail to reclaim the most guilty, and soften the most obdurate; and that the general adoption of an improved and enlightened system, in the construction and management of public Prisons, would very essentially contribute to the diminution of crime. "That by a personal inquiry which this Society has made into the cases of 2000 juvenile depredators, there is reason to believe, that in London and Westminster, and the Borough of Southwark, there are upwards of 8000 boys who derive subsistence by the daily perpetration of offences; and that no means for the diminution of juvenile delinquency will be so efficacious as the erection of a prison for youthful of fenders in the Metropolis, to be conducted on an enlightened system of discipline. "That this Society has adopted arrangements for the relief of destitute boys, desirous of abandoning their vicious habits: that the success of the Society, in reform. ing youthful criminals, has been highly satisfactory; but it is greatly to be regretted, that the low state of its finances has obliged the Committee to reject the earnest petitions of many who have had the strongest claims for assistance." Wednesday, May 31. The King has given a medal and gold chain to Sir Thomas Lawrence, to be worn by him as President of the Royal Academy. His Majesty's present wil', it is said, be followed by an order for the Members to wear upon all public occasions, robes or gowns, according to their several ranks in the Institution, nearly similar to those which distinguish the different degrees at the two Universities. Saturday, June 10. The Court of King's Bench in the King v. Waithman, Parkins, &c. gave judgment, that it was not legal to interpose matters at the Common Hall of the Livery, irrelevant to the object for which they were convened ; but as the defendants had acted on an impression that the contrary was the law, their Lordships discharged the rule, without costs. His Majesty was pleased to hold a drawing room for the celebration of his birthday, at Buckingham-house; which was most numerously attended. The Metropolis was thrown into some alarm by a temporary feeling of insubordination in the First Battalion of the Third Guards. It arose from circumstances unconnected with any considerations of a political nature. The grounds of complaint alleged were, that their removal into the new barracks in the King's Mews deprived them of many advantages they enjoyed while on billet; that their pay was insufficient; and their duty too hard, &c. It is hardly necessary to say that all these circumstances together amounted to no real grievance. Discontent first shewed itself on this evening; and on the Duke of Gloucester, as Colonel of the Regiment, laying the state of things before the Commander in Chief, orders were directly issued, to change the quarters of the battalion. The insubordination continued throughout the night. At four the next morning the first division, however, marched off for Portsmouth without a murmur; and the report received from them in the course of the day was satisfactory. Exaggeration was as usual at work; crowds of idle rabble collected the whole of Friday round the gates of the Mews; and some miscreants endeavoured, happily in vain, to inflame the passions of the military. In the evening the Horse Guards were called out to disperse the crowd, and quietness was restored. Saturday at four the remainder of the battalion followed the companions, after having been inspected by the Duke of Wellington. Tuey expressed their contrition for what had passed. On A quarrel occurred among the lower Irish who inhabit St. Anne's-court, St. Anne's street, Westminster. The Policeofficers and Constables having failed in quelling the disturbance, procured the assistance of the Tilt Guard of 12 men, headed by Lieut. Fraser. The mob attacked both the Police and Military, assailing them with brickbats and other missiles from the tops of the houses, and attacking them with bludgeons, &c. Betts, a constable, was dreadfully cut in the neck} neck; and another, Dagnell, severely beaten. One fellow presented a pistol to the breast of Lieut. Fraser, but it flashed in the pan. He was then secured; but the resistance continued so formidable, that Lieut. Fraser was obliged to order his party to fire upon them, which they were forced to do repeatedly before they could succeed in putting down the disturbance. A number of persons were wounded. A house, which formed the head-quarters in the affray, was forced open by the soldiers with the butt ends of their muskets, and nine persons seized. The windows were shattered by the shots previously fired. Yesterday morning nine of the lodgers were taken to Queen-square Office; when it appearing that the conduct of the Constables was illegal, the prisoners, who are all bricklayers labourers, were discharged.

INTEREESTING INTELLIGENCE FROM THE LONDON GAZETTES. PREPARATIONS FOR HERALD'S COLLEGE, May 13. - The Officers of Arms, habited in their tabards, assembled at Westminster, and being mounted on horses of the Life Guards, and attended by the Serjeant at Arms, also mounted, proceeded to the front of Westminster Hall, where, after the trumpet had sounded thrice, his Majesty's Proclamation appointing the day for the Coronation, and the first sitting of the Court of Claims (see p. 466), was read by Chester Herald.
