The Royal Suite occupying two other car riage s included Lady Flora Hastings, the Master of theo Horse, C o l one l C aven di sh, an d C o l one l H arcour t. t.... , ; The Queen, who was attired in mourning, soon aftert her arr i va l passed through the state-rooms to t h e P re - r :.sense -chamber, t h e w i n d ow o f w hi c h, l oo ki ng i n t o th e l arge P court-yard of the Palace by the side of Marlhorouglii house, was thrown open.

In the Court-yard a guard of honour of the Life Guards was drawn up in the middle of the yard fronting the Palace ; a little in advance stood the Queen's marshalmen and the Queen's sergeant trumpeter and the household' drums and trumpets in state uniforms.

Sir William Woods dim read the proclamation issued at Kensington Palace on Tuesday, announcing the accession of her Majesty Queen Victoria. At first the cheering pre vented the proclamation being heard, but the latter part of the proclamation was, very distinctly given ; and at the words " God save the Queen," Sir William gave the signal by wavi ng hi s sce pt re ; l o ud and enthusiastic cheering fol lowed, which her Majesty graciously and frequently acknow-, !edged. The household trumpeters, at the same time,, played " God save the Queen." i Her Majesty then withdrew, attended by the Ministersi and great Officers of State ; and the procession left the Palace, preceded by Mr. Lee, the High Constable of West minster, the trumpeters, sergeants-at-arms, pursuivants, and , heralds following on horseback.

It was attended by most of the Cabinet' Ministers. The Council sat an hour and a hall. 4 71 Cooper, Sir Benjamin Brodie and Mr. Keate, in the pre sence of the physicians. We understand that during the; process it was ascertained that the immediate cause of his! a Majesty's death was inflammation of the upper part of Othe lungs ; and moreover that such was the general de bility and disorganization of the entire system, it was possible for him to have lived many months even had the' inflammation above-mentioned been removed. We pre4ume an official report of the facts will be published, as was lone 'in the case of his Majesty' s predecessor, George the Fourth. 1 The health of Queen Adelaide, we rejoice to say, is bet-: ter than it h as b e e n .

The sexton threw open the door. The King entered ;g closed the door after him ; and remained there al on e nearly! inalf an hour. How the King employed that half hour it isll impossible to say ; for the place has nothing within it d there is nothing but its bare walls, except a few dust-1 fragmentscovered loose planks an of stone left by the; masons in the middle of the floor. But the place coveredi the last resting-place of his royal predecessors ; and it would! seem as although he was indulging a presentiment that he:, himself should soon take his place among them.

It is well known that for many years past the Isle of .. Thanet has been the favourite autumnal retreat of the Duchess of Kent, and her illustrious daughter, now Queen of England. Thither they regularly went, accompanied, for their exalted station, by a very small retinue, and, during their stay, throwing aside much of the cumbersome and formal restrai n t s an d chilling ceremonials of Royalty, -, they entered into free intercourse with the respectable re sident families, and were constantly to be seen passing, i almost unattended, along the public streets or parades of , the principal towns of the island. 4. During their Royal Highnesses' visit in 1835, the case' . of an aged female was brought under their notice, not by 5" the poor woman herself, but by some of her friends. Sir i John Conroy was commissioned to make the necessary in-' . , quirks, and was soon able to make a favourable report. - 2 The poor woman had in early life been connected with' the stage, but from increasing infirmities had been com pelled to retire, having a very small pittance on which to live. By desire of their Royal Highnesses the old lady was asked what mode of relief she would most desire. ~. She replied, " a supply of tea and sugar." Accordingly .: •an abundant stock was sent her to last out the whole winter. On the return of their Royal Highnesses to the ...' isle in 1836, the old lady ventured herself to address a'. suppliant letter. Her case had been forgotten and in quiries were or d ere d, b u t were s o on s t o pp e d on it s being:-' ascertained she was the recipient of a formgr bounty, and i a second winter's supply for her tea-table was sent her. Last year, a Deal boatman, who had gone out to assist ', a vessel in distress, was, by a heavy sea catching his boat, ' unfortunat e ly d rowne d. H e l e ft a widow and family. The ' 1 . . poor widow hardly k new what to do in her desolation ; ' but she had heard of the charitable dispositions of the Du- T chess of Kent and the Princess, and she determined on ::.writing to them. She was an illiterate person, and her ' , letters proved quite curiosities in their way, yet in them " the poor widow contrived to make her tale of distress intel rligible. At the request o f Si r J o h n C onroy , a g entleman f , at Ramsgate, w h o h a d acqua i ntances at D ea l, ma d e the 1 requisite inquiries to ascertain the truth of the narration! ;and the character of the widow. The answer was satisfac tory, and their Royal Highnesses remitted a sum of money/ !•+. to a gentleman of Deal, of known integrity and good sense, with instructions that be should apply it in suc a way as! . =the conceived would be most permanently beneficial to theE .t- family. ti Upon their Royal Highnesses coming down to Albioni t 'house, Ramsgate, in 1835, they were joined shortly afteri .i. by the King of Belgium, brother of the Duchess. The rude curiosity of the vulgar during this time led them to' climb the railings in front of Albion-house, so as to over -I look the lower suit of rooms where the Royal party gene I.Arally assembled.

The match which took place yesterday at the Rad House vas for a superb silver tankard and cover, the terms are as, follows:—Each gentleman to shoot for ten minutes—five, ninutes with the ordinary shot, and five minutes with cartridge, (Eley's being chosen)—at thirty yards distance from the trap.

It was affablelii and dignified—remote alike from a haughty indifference 'to - 1 popular applause, and a too eager enjoyment of the intoxicat- ing draft. The Duchess of Northumberland, we are informed, has had the honour of an audience since the accession. The -, reception of her Grade was most cordial and affectionate. :- 1 The Earl of Albemarle attended on her Majesty Ithe Queen yesterday, at St. James's Palace, having been, it ' is understood, re-appointed Master of the Horse. In conse- quence of the demise of his Majesty, his Lordship's grand din- ~1 ner, which was to be given to-day, has been postponed sine die. A special messenger was despatched by the steam packet to Hamburg yesterday, on his way to the Russian Ca- ,• pital, with despatches from Count Pozzo di Borgo for the Em peror, with the intelligence of the demise of his Majesty. The report is already in circulation of its being the intention of her Majesty and the Royal Household to occupy the new Buckingham Palace, us soon as the few additions are • made, requisite to its completion. yNre believe the report to be p r emature. i His Hanoverian Majesty is by birth the fifth, and, i in survivorship, the eldest surviving son of King George the Third and Queen Charlotte. He served in more than one ‘; campaign during the late war under Marshal Treyta and L _ General Walmoden, and he had rank and a regiment in the Hanoverian service. ~ /Her Majesty the Queen of Hanover, in addition to , the Crown Prince, late Prince George of Cumberland, is mother of seven Princes and Princesses by her two first bus * bands The Queen has also several grandchildren, the pro- , 44 pgeny of her son, Prince F rederick of Prussia, and two daugh -4 h e rs the Duchess of Anhault Dessau, and the Princess Albert ' 4 ' of Schwazbourg. It was at the Congress of Vienna, in 1815, 1 Ithe year of her marriage, that her father received the title of; Grand Duke, and was invested with the right of voting at the: '.• Diet of the Empire. Her Majesty's niece, the Princess Marial 'Theresa of Tour and Taxis, married, in 1 812 , Prince Esterhazy,l the Austrian Ambassador. . i Lord Walter Butler, second son of the Marquis of Ormond, a Lieutenant and Captain in the Guards, is the Officer who is fortunate enough to obtain Brevet rank by .'• having been on duty at the Palace on the accession to the y throne of the Princess Victoria.
