fliE QUEEN.

KENSINGTON, MONDAY EVENING.—On Sunday morn-
ing the chapel of Kensington Palace was crowded to suf-
focation by respectable persons, attired in deep mourning,
long before the hour at which Divine Service usually
commences, but to their great disappointment neither the
Queen nor any member of the Royal Family was present,
her Majesty having had service performed before her in her
apartments by the Very Reverend the Dean of Chester.
Throughout the afternoon the avenue leading to the
palace was thronged by persons, most of whom were fe-
males, who were anxiously inquiring as to the time when
her Majesty would take her accntomed drive. The time
of her Majesty's departure having for the last two or three
days been kept extremely secret, no intelligence could be
obtained by them on the subject. At a quarter past
five o'clock, however, the Queen's new landau, drawn
by four horses, and preceded by two outriders, en-
tered the gates of the palace gardens, adjoining the
Princess Sophia's apartments, on which a general rush
took place to the spot. In a few minutes afterwards her
Majesty, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, the
Princess of Leiningen, and Baroness Lehzen, got into
the carriage, amid the salutations and cheers of the assem-
blage, which was far more numerous than on any previous
occasion. The Queen, we are happy to say, appeared in
very good health and spirits. The Royal party proceeded
up the Edgware and New Barnet-roads as far as Pinchley,
and returned to the palace at twenty minutes to seven
o'clock. The crowd assembled to witness her return was
far greater than on her departure, and the Queen appeared
much pleased at the enthusiasm with which they re-
ceived her.

This morning Viscount Melbourne had an audience of
her Majesty. His Lordship remained at the palace up-
w Irds of an hour.

Very few calls have been made at the Palace during
the day.
This afternoon, about half•past five o'clock, her Majesty,
accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, and the Prince and
Princess of Leiningen, drove out for an airing in the neigh-
bourhood of Wimbledon common. Fier Majesty looked as
well as she did on Sunday. The Royal party returned to
the Palace at seven o'clock.

The Duke of Sussex took an airing both yesterday and
,o-day.

The most beautiful public fancy ball of each season
has hitherto been the Academy of Music ball; that of the pre-
sent year is fixed for the 14th ; and although, in consequence
of the number of families who left town, it is not expected to
be so much cro•xded as last year, still a number of the Pa-
tronesses are in London, and with their parties will render it
a choice assembly.
Miss Cotton, who is about to be united to the Earl
of Hillsborough, eldest son of the Marquis of Downsbire,

tuted against Queen Caroline, the consort of George IV.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-011 Saturday, Mr.
Howard, son of the late Col. Howard, led to the hymeneal
altar Lady Fanny Cavendish, daughter of the late Hon. Wm.
Cavendish, and sister of the Earl of Burlington. The cere-
mony took place at the Duke of Devonshire's villa at Chis-
wick, and about seventy of the distinguished and numerous
branches of the Cavendish family were present. In the ab.
sence of the Duke of Devonshire, the fair and accomplished
bride was given away by bis Grace the Duke of Sutherland.
Amongst the company were the Duke and Duchess of Suther-
land, Countess Dowager of Sutherland, Earl and Countess of
Burlington, Countess of Durham, Sir Augustus and Lady
Clifford, Lord and Lady Lismore, Hon. George and Lady
Louisa Cavendish, Mr. and Lady Catherine Cavendish, Col.
Limbton, Lord Morpeth, Lady K. Howard, Mr. and Mrs.
Brande, Sce. After the ceremony the company partook •of a
sumptuous dejeuner a la fourchette; the fruits were of the
choicest description, brought from Chatsworth. The bride
wore a valuable emerald and fine gold armlet, a present from
the Duke of Devonshire. At four o'clock the company de-
parted. The honeymoon will be passed at Chiswick.
THE GERMAN SPAS.—We understand that a well-
known Physician, of extensive practice and great experience
(Dr. Granville), having devoted some time to a professional
examination of the whole of the German Spas, is on the point
of giving to the world, in a popular form, the result of his re-
serches on this highly interesting and important subject. It
may be well said that the curative art is in its infancy, when we
recollect that the mineral springs of Germany (unquestionably
the most important existing agents in that art) arc as little
known in this country except by name as if they existed in
the wilds of America, instead of in the very heart of European
civilization. If what we hear of Dr. Granville's forthcoming
book be true, this reproach will speedily be removed—to the
no small advantage of that class of the community who can
afford to visit these health and life giving waters.
On the 4th ult. the workmen employed by Mrs.
Summerville, of Sorn, Ayrshire, while engaged in forming a
footpath in a romantic wooded dell on that lady's property,
unexpectedly disembowelled at the tiny depth of three inches
a hoard of copper and silver coins, which had remained buried
no one can tell how many yeers. The deposit chosen is im-
mediately beneath a projecting feathered rock, and the coins,
which number about 500, bear the iasign'a of James IV. and
VI. of Scotland..—Scotsman.
