TIM QUEEN.

•
It affords us great pleasure in being able to say.
her MAJESTY is nearly recovered from her indispo-
sition. On Sunday evening she was so much bet-
ter, as to be able to enjoy the society of a family
party till neer eleven o'clock, consisting of the
Princess Auouses, Duke and Duchess of GLou.
CUTER the Prince and Princess of Hesse lion-
touno.and the Princess SOPAIA of Gloucester. The
Queen was up the greater Imo of yesterday. and
was so much recovered as tok bear the nom of
carriages near the Palace, the iris railing gates en-
closing the lawn or Court-yard were ordered to be
opened for the admission of the different branches
of the Royal Family, ss usual, to the trout eutrunce
to the grand hall.
The following wattle Bulletin was issued :

Queen's Palace, May 26, Eleven, a. wt.
"Ilse Queets has felt herself uniformly better slue. the
last report—bee Majesty has slept well.

The Cenotaph Committee, after ma tartly considering the

Temple of the Itkuotsph on a scale sufficiently extensive to
admit of IN tieing appropriated to tile purposes of Divine
Worship, sod constituted a Free Church.

t3RIGH7'ON. MAY 25.

At the Pavilion the improvements Continue in
gradual progress. Numerous workmen escape the
pressure of the times, and better their conditions
by constant employment there: nor is the source of
their well-doing likely very suddenly to be stopped.
Not • resident of importance is there at this time
in any part of the Palace premises; but it is still
understood that the Prince Regent intends honour-
ing the town with soother shit in July. His Royal
Highness, it has been said, has expressed his wishes
to the town, that the gas lights, generally. Should
be allowed to sparkle forth their brilliance here;
but whatever the advantages, or the reverse may be,
that should follow the introduction of the gas to
the place, in the event of the Bill now pending in
the House of Commons being passed into a law, an
improper use has certainly been made of his Royal
Highness's name thereon ; for, we have it from un-
exceptionable authority, that his Royal Highness
has declined expressing any decided opinion upon
the subject, leaving it entirely to the inhabitants,
either to favour or oppose it, as may appear most
consistent with their own feelings and interests,—
This circumstance certainly should be known,
that no imputation of ingratitude should here-
after attach to where it has beets entirely unde-
served.

Fashionable arrivals Isere multiply. A valuable
addition last week was made to the dinner party at
West's. The avgregate departures of the week
were inconsiderable.

The Libraries ore now in complete order for
evening pastimes, music, fachisting 100, &c. An
addition to Chum's has been made, by * spacious
reading.room; this improvement, in point of ele-
gant acc odation, renders this library secondary

to none in the county.
A London piper observes, that the Countess
Cowper is seriously indisposed here. It is true,
her Ladyship has suffered fro►u a premature con-
finen►eut, but it affords iis much pleasure to add,
is uuw quite Is well as could lilve been expected.
