COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

Arrived, and came into harbour to repair, the Pauline,
Meyer, New York packet-ship, with a general cargo and
seven passengers, for Bremen ; in a hurricane, on the
31st ult., her foremost went by the board near the deck,
taking with it her main and mizen top masts and the
heads of her lower masts. After rigging jury masts
she was twenty-three days to this port, and she had been
out eleven when the accident happened. A cabin pas-
senger, named Deidrick van Lipke, a merchant of New
York, died on the passage.
The Newport River Improvement Company, having
advertised their intention of applying to Parliament for
powers to build piers, quays, wharfs, &c. at Cowes, and
to levy and take certain tolls, rates, and duties on all
ships, vessels, boats, passengers, goods, and cattle enter-
ing or leaving Cowes Harbour, has caused a great sen-
sation here. The inhabitants are opposed to the mea-
sure, and they remember the vast sum the Corporation
of Southampton obtained for their mudlands of the
Southampton Dock Company, and fear that the Cor-
poration of Newport may be tempted to sell the mud-
lands at Cowes to the Company, land which till within
a very short period. the inhabitants thought their own.
The Corporation, at their meeting on Friday, decided
on not granting any more land till after they see what
is likely to be done by the Company (some think to sec
what sum they may be offered) ; at all events, a public
quay that was purposed to be built, and for which an
Act of Parliament was obtained in 1816 by the inha-
bitants of Cowes, is stopped, and several private indi-
viduals who wished to extend their quays cannot, in
consequence of this resolution ; those who have built
without the consent of the Corporation are to be pro-
secuted.

HER MAJESTY'S
MARRIAGE.

THE PRIVY COUNCIL.

(From the Second Edition of The Sun of Saturday.)

Her Majesty held a Privy Council this day at
Buckingham Palace, at half-past One o'Clock,
which was attended by an unusually large number
of Members.

The proceedings excited unusual interest from its
being generally understood that an announcement of
her Majesty's intended Marriage with Prince
Albert of Saxe Cobourg would be made to the
Council, and as early as twelve o'clock a large
concourse of persons had assembled in front of the
Palace, and at two o'clock the number had in-
creased to several thousands—there was a very
large sprinkling of foreigners among the crowd.
The following is the communication made by
her Majesty to the Privy Council assembled at
Buckingham Palace this day
I have caused you to be summoned at the pre-
sent time, in order that I may acquaint you with
my, resolution in a rnatter which deeply concerns
the welfare of my people, and the happiness of my
future life.

" It is my intention to ally myself in marriage
with Prince Albert of Saxe Cobourg and Gotha.
" Deeply impressed with the solemnity of the
engagement which I O.ITI about to contract,
I have not come to this decision without
mature consideration, nor without feeling a
strong assurance that, with the blessing of Almighty
God, it will at once secure my domestic felicity,
and serve the interests of my country.
"I have thought fit to make this resolution known
to you at the earliest period, in order that you may
be fully apprised of a matter so highly important to
me and my kingdom, and: which I persuade myself
will be most acceptable to all my loving subjects."
Her Majesty looked in excellent health, and
delivered the Address with great composure.
The Council broke up shortly before three
o'clock ; and on leaving the Palace her Majesty's
Ministers and other leading political characters were
received with the usual popular marks of applause
or disapprobation. Lord Melbourne, who was
nearly the last that quitted the Palace, was loudly
cheered by the majority of those present, but there
was some vehement hooting from a mob of per-
sons who followed his carriage round the entire
front of the Palace. His Lordship smiled and
bowed good-humouredly to his assailants. The
Marquis of Normanby and Lord J. Russell were
in the same carriage, and came in for a pretty equal
share of applause and disapprobation. The Duke
of Wellington, who was looking extremely thin and
pale, but in good spirits, was most enthusiastically
cheered. Lord Monteagle (Mr. Spring Rice) was
greeted with a hearty groan. There was a sorry at-
tempt at a cheer for Sir Robert Peel, from the same
knot to whom we have before alluded. Mr. Goul-
burn, Mr. Wilson Croker, and others of that
party, were allowed to pass almost unnoticed.
The reception of his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge was of the same lukewarm character.
Lord Palmerston's reception was by no means
flattering, but it would be impossible to parti-
cularize all the various shades of shouting, cheer-
ing, hooting, and hissing, which alternately prevailed.
We observed among the crowd a certain Noble
Marquis who has lately ratted from the Whigs, and
a Baronet of some celebrity in West India affairs,
who were signalling the populace as to what par-
ties they should cheer or groan. These two gen-
tlemen appeared to enjoy the fun amazingly, and
remained on the ground till the last carriage had left
the Palace.

Her Majesty and her attendants, escorted by a
party of the Lancers, left Buckingham Palace
shortly afterwards for Windsor, and was greeted on
her route towards Hyde-park with loud and
general cheering by the assembled multitude.

On Saturday Evening an " Extraordinary
Gazette" appeared, containing, besides the above
declaration, the following :
At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 23d
day of November, 1839, present, the Queen's Most
Excellent Majesty in Council,
(For the list of-Privy Councillors present see
Court Circular.)

Her IVlajesty being this day present in Council,
was pleased to make the following Declaration,
(see above.)

Whereupon all the Privy Councillors present made
it their humble request to her Majesty, that her
Majesty's most gracious declaration to them might
be made public ; which her Majesty was pleased to
order accordingly.
