The Queen was to have given another ball on June 28, this day week, but on Wednesday an anouncemcut was given that it was post poned. This was owing to the serious illness of Lady Flora Hastings—l should rattier call it the fatal illness. Ever since the time when her fair fame was so wantonly maligned her health has been affected, and each week, tho’ she bore upas well asshecould,shehasgrown weaker. She endeavored to bear up against her malady, and attempted to discharge the duties of her situation on the Queen’s mother, and this, though she was so weak that she could only lie on a sofa, in an exhausted state. At last the Duchess of Kent (whoseconsideration for her has been almost paternal) made her take to her bed, and the best medical attendance was procured for her. Her mother is in Scot land, too ill to travel to London; her sister, Lady Sophia Hastings, has set up with Lady Flora several nights, and the Marchioness of Hastings has done the same. The Lady Flora languishes, and is unable to take any nourish ment. When it was ascertained, on June 26, that Lady Flora was so dangerous ill, for the ladies of the Queen’s household pretended that it was mere sham to excite pity, Lord Duncan non represented to Lord Melbourne that it would be actually indecent to have a ball (400 tickets were issued) when this young lady was actually dying it), the palace. He repre sented also, that public sympathy had been very much excited about her. and the press might continent upon the circumstance. Lord Melbourne satv the Queen, explained how mat ters were, advised tho postponement of the ball, and, if I am truly informed, found it a mat ter of the utmost difficulty to purstiude her to accede to his suggestion. On Thursday Lady Flora sent a message lo the Queen, praying her Majesty to visit hor. This was done, and she said, “Upon the word of n dying woman, there wus no ground for the baseness imputed to me. 1 forgive my ene mies, and pray God to pardon them for hurry ing nit) to an early grave.” The Marquis of Hastings, her brother, was in (ears by the bed side when the Queen name in, but her Myj esty would not notice him. Immediately after hurrying from sad interview with Lady Flora, the Queen retired to her closet to muse on the unhappy stale of this youthful friend? No, but mounted her Arabian, and went to have a gallop in Hyde Park ! 1 A serious correspondence lias taken place on the subject of Lady Flora between the Mar quis of Hastenings and Lord Melbourne. Tho Marquis was represented by Lord Rosslyn, and after muchdelay Lord Melbourne has been compelled to make an humble apology for the rude and ungentle-manlike expressions in his memorable letter to the mother ofthe Marquis. There is a hitch, on Lord Melbourne’s part, about the publication of this correspondence; but as Lord Hastings insists that the atone ment shall be as public as the insult it is likely to appear in print. Lord Melbourne, Lady Portmnn, and Lady Tavistock ore set down generally as the abet tors of the slander which Sir James Clark in vented ; blit the palace whisper is that it was the Queen herself, “our virtuous Queen,” who gaveahint to Sir Juntos Clarke, her physician, “that she did not like the appearance of Lady Flora, and for her own part thought no better could coma of her coining from Edinburg to London in the sumo steamboat with that odi ous Sir John Conroy.” Now this is the Court i on dit, and, if it be true, shows at once why the Ladies Tavistock and Portman cgnnol ex culpate themselves from, the charge of slander —for if they do they must inculpate the Queen. Tlte quarrel between the Queen and her mother is to Have mainly been caused by 1 the latter’s having refused to dismiss Sir, John Conroy (whom the Queen now hates) from his office of comptroller of her, household. The Baroness Leltzen ; it is said, fans the flume, in the hope that if tlte Duchess of Kent be driven from tho palace, she (the Baroness) will hold undivided sway over our young, and, I fear, 1 not very wise sovereign. As for the story about Conroy and Lady Flora Hastings, it has 1 no further foundation than this—the young 1 lady paid a visit to her mother at London Cas- ‘ tie in Scotland, and in the steamboat which 1 couvuyrd in i fiiitll Kdinbnrgh to l.oiidmi It ‘ happened that Sir John Conroy was u passen ger. Well, the Queen’s mind may be easy now. Sir John Conroy and his fine family have quit ted England. The Queen told het mother, point blank, that their intercourse must be wholly ceremonial until she dismissed Sir John Conroy. The Dutches declined parting with one who had been her husband’s friend and her own faithful servant. The t* ib- f Wellington was called in to meditate, Bnd he prevailed on the Dutches of Kent to accept the proffered resignation of Sir John. It was prom ised him, I hear, that if he did not resume his place he should be created a peer. The issue was that a hollow peace between the Queen and her mother was patched up, but speedily broken,,for when the Dutchess paid u visit to Lady Conroy the coming hour for departure the Queen flew in a great passion, and actually scolded. The qualities of “our amiable young Queen” are gradually dcvelopeing themselves. T e Marquis of Westminster recently gave her Majesty a fete, which cost £4000; as usual, the book tis invitations to the royal tabic was laid before Iter. Sir Robert and Lady Peel were on tlte list oflhe invited, but not on tlte list of guests who were to sit at the Queen’s table. Her Majesty called for a pen, drew it across the name of ffie Baronet and his Lady, and han ded back the book to Lady Westminster, sav ing. “If those people anfWt your party, you must do without me.” The Queen will not go to Windsor until the end of August, There was a report that she would visit Ireland this autumn, but it has died away. To make the “Royal progress” in any Yespectable way would cost about half a million of money, and I suspect the civil list cannot afford it. At the rate the Queen lives—each of her tables costing from £ISOO to £3OOO, — the money cannot lie spared. The new riding school, for which the sum of £7OOOO has been voted, will be ready for use by the time tlte Queen is at Windsor. Sjr Jeffrey Wyattvillc is the architect. Lady Normaqby, who is now the Queen’s favorite, has obtained the soubriquet of “Mrs. Smaash’em.” in allusion to Queen Anne’s in triguing favorite, Mrs. Mushem. It has been noticed that Lady N. has contrived to bo “in waiting,” on her Majesty three months instead of one.” When the turn of a more indepen dent lady of the household comes round, Lady N. adroitly offers to take her place, and thus keeps constantly about the Queen’s person. It is believed that Lord Normanby will be the l’reitier, whenever Melbourne resigns. There has been anew fracas at the palace ! At Ascot Heath Races, when the Queen and Lord Melbourne appeared, the populace hissed the favorite. He was much annoyed, and sj was the Queen. Somebody told her Majesty that among the his ers were the Dutchess of Montrose and Lady Sarah Ingestrie. It is said that Lady Lichfield told the Queen that she saw them his her. The ladies, hearing of this report, promptly applied to Lady Lichfield, who said at once that she had not given rise to it. They yrgcil her to state this in writing, but she said she must consult her husband about that. Subsequently she did explicitly deny, in a letter to the Duchess of Montrose, that she had abused the Quceu’sear, as alleged. At the. late ball at the palace, the two ladies in question conceived, from the marked and pet tish incivility of the Queen’s manner towards them, that she still believed they had hissed her. The next day, accordingly, the Duchess of Montrose sent to Buckingham Palace, and de manded an audience of the Queen. A female council was held, and the Dutchess had to wait in an anteroom during the two hours it occu pied ; Lord Uxbridge theu brought out the ungenerous message that none but Peers or Peetc es, m their own right, could demand an audience with the Sovereign. The Dutchess was not to be put down—she insisted that Lord Uxbridge should take down all she bad to say, (that all being a spirited reproof and remon strance.) and made him pledge his honor that it should be instantly laid before the Queen. At present the matter has changed its aspect, I VOL. 1. NO. 30. foa the Duko of Montrose felt it his duty to open a correspondence on tho subject with Melbourne, the “Petticoat Premier 1” I dare say that these details will scarcely bo credited in America, where, I believe, the most favorable opinion is entertained ofthe Queen’s head and heart. All I can say is—they are true. Great and almost irresponcible power was confided to a young woman who, up to the hour she became Queen, knew nothing of the world. That power has intoxicated her. She will sober down, I doubt not, but the pub lic will remember the antics of the inebriated long after the intoxication has subsided.—The Queen’s popularity has certainly declined ve ry considerably. Twelve months ago, at her Coronation, how universal was the feeling in her favor. Now, she is accused of heartless ness in the Flora Hastings affair, of sheer ob stinacy in the late ministerial row, and of ttn dutifulnesa in her conduct to her excellent mother. The Queen Dowager, on the Contrary, is more popular then I think she wns in the life time of her husband. She has declined receiv ing any political addresses—lives in a quiet way—disperses much money in charity,—and rarely goes into society. She was at the Ital ian Opera, the other evening, when the Queen Regent was present, and had more than a mo ity ofthe applause given by the audience to Royalty. There is a report that she will visit Hanovet in the autumn.
