i this )ear, to take place at so uaily
a day ad the 22d oi' January. Such a change
of the usual lime is always significant ol a
gieat change in our social condition ; and it
cannot be denied, tti.il in the piesent instance,
a very marked and impoitaut cri-is h;s -c-tuiied
in the poUtieal history of England.

Queen will pass into I'arliaincut-st.eet, i
thronged hy hundreds and thousands of well
lrssed and ill-diestd and scaicely-diesstd-
i.l-ail people, who have all come to indulge in !
a good sta'e at the Qneoil. ct'-ious at
Z glance, iaat amongst the ciowd, are vast
nuuibers of people lrorn the country, who
evince the greatest anxiety to get a good
place. I here are iu various silua-ions s-eats
crertf d, and benches placed, on which, for
a e-hiliini;, you may staud or sit, at a slight
elevation over the heads of the crowd. In
Whitehall and Parliament-sheet the liades
people have removed tho goods ' fiom their
window, or erected temporary balconied out
side, wheio places may be obtained on pay
ment of half a crown. These seats are for
the most part, filled by ladies and the "coun
try cousins" aforesaid, their chief object
bfciiic to see the Queen, whose youth, sex and
univt is.il popularity, have made her a lavoihe,
and those !o a! p:o essioiis very popular.
And year alter year, although theie is no
novelty introduced, the teeming thousands ol
London pour out to see ihe idiow. As a re

Dr William King was the celebrated prin

which I found sufficient to supply my wunts,
aud to leave me at liberty to pursue those
liberal studies which afforded me ihe most
solid pleasure in my youth, aud are the de
light and enjoyment of my old age. Besides,
I always conceived n ;ciet honor of a state
of servility aud dependence; aud I never

0:i this occasion, I was struck with the
leoinkable lesemhlance of her Majesty's
pn.iihi in that of her grand-lather, George the
Third. She looked, I thought, very pale and
an.l hi. U ith h';r leatuies- every one m.isi
be familiar so it is quite needless lor mc It
attempt any description of them. I will only
say that I, for one, cannot call Ihem pretty.
She is wh.d one might describe as iuieiest
ting looking but, theu, she is a Queen,
and that, after all, has a gieat deal lo do wilh
it. Prince Albert appears a "nice" young

for his cheei ful cultivated .moustache, would

who aie confined to the sidewalks by police

Anxiety begius now lo be evident ou eveiy

occupants of the long string of carriages,
which extends from Charing Cross lo the door
ol tho Home of Lords, are subjected to all
kinds of remaik. These vehicles contain,
for the most part, peeresses and patties who
have obtained tickets to admit the it lo the in

a widow, and the poor children orphans ?"
She walks about the room unable lo compose
herself sufficiently to sit down; eageily is
she looking oul of the window and. down ihe
street. She sees a man with a honied Mcp
torn the corner,, and a little boy hold of his
hand. Ifes, it is hi. And her little son has
gone down to the boat n-nd found his father.
Or, perhaps, in-tend of this, she sees two of
her neighbors returnin slowly and sadly, and
direc liug iheir steps to her door. , The blood
ll'iws back upon tier heart. .They rap upou
ihe door. It is the knell of her hubaud's
death. And she falls senseless to the floor,
as they tell her that . her husband has long
ssoce becti eutomed iu the fathomless oteati.
This is ik.i ficli.ui These are not ex
Itcmc cases which Ihe imagination creates.
They are fads of couliuucd occuneiices
facts which awaken euiotious to whkh uo pen
can do iustice.
A few weeks jt go a ship returned to this
islaud, biinging the news of another ship-lhot
was neatly filled with oil, that all ou board
weie well, and that he might be expected iu
a neighboring port in such a month. The
wife of ihe captain tesided iu Nautuckel,
and early in the month, with a heul ihsob
bing with affection and hope she wen? to gteel
her husbaud on his leium. At length ihe
ship apieared, dropped her anchor in the har
bor, and the friends of the lady went to the
ship lo escort the husband lo the wile fioiiv
whom he had been so long separated. Sojn
they sadly returned with the tidings that her
husband had been seized wi h the coast fever,
upon the Island of Madagascar, and wheu
about a week out, on his lelurii home he
died and was commuted lo his ocean buiial.
A few days after I called upon the weepin
wid .w and Ii, tie daughter iu their destined
home ot bereavement aud auuish.
