THE QUEEN.

COURT CIRCULAR.
The Queen remains at Kensington Palace until after his 2
' late Majesty's funeral ; and her Majesty and her august
mother will pass that time in retirement, except for sucli
.occasions as her Majesty's public duties require her appear-
ance in public.
The proclamations of her Majesty the Queen Victoria,
p
took place yesterday morning in St. James's Palace. i
Her Majesty, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, and
attended by Lady Mary Stopford, arrived at the Palace, '
from Kensington, at ten o'clock, escorted by a party of the
• Life Guards. The Royal Suite occupying two other car
riages included Lady Flora Hastings, the Master of theo
Horse, Colonel Cavendish, and Colonel Harcourt.
t....,;
The Queen, who was attired in mourning, soon aftert
her arrival passed through the state-rooms to the Pre-r
:.sense-chamber, the window of which, looking into the largeP
court-yard of the Palace by the side of Marlhorouglii
house, was thrown open. Her Majesty was received bv'
the public who filled the court with loud and reiterated'
cheers. The Duchess of Kent was on the right of her
Majesty. Viscount Melbourne, the Lord Chancellor,
Marquis of Lansdowne, the Lord Steward, the Earl Mar-t
shal, and the Groom of the Stole, stood close to her Mal
ray. The Commander of the Forces, the Lord Privy
Seal, the Secretary of State for the Home Departmenti
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Master of the Horse ;II
Viscount Combermere, gold-stick in waiting ; the Posti
master-General ; the Marquis of Headfort (in waiting) ands
Lord Gardner, Lords of the Bedchamber ; the Vice-
Chamberlain, the Treasurer of the Household, the Comp-
troller of the Household ; Sir William Houstoun, groom in,
waiting ; and the Honourable William Bathurst in the 4
several uniforms, and with their respective ensigns of office,
were in attendance around her Majesty.
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. On the north side!
rof the space between the Guards and the Palace were the
(sergeants at arms on horseback bearing their large gilt
maces, and wearing silver collar of SS,; on the oppositei:
side, near to the window at which her Majesty stood, were;
the heralds and pursuivants, dismounted and uncovered. 1;
Sir William Woods (clarencieux king of arms), acting
as deputy garter, wore a splendid tabard, richly embroi-k
dered in gold, and a gold collar of SS ; James Cathrow!
Disney, Esq., Somerset herald ; C. G. Young, Esq., York
herald ; and Walter Aston Blount, Esq., Chester herald,
(wore tabards of satin, richly embroidered, and silver collars
of SS. Mr. James Pulman, portcullis pursuivant ; Mr.';
Robert Laurie, rouge croix pursuivant ; Mr. George Har-
rison, blucmantle pursuivant ; and Mr. Thomas William
King, rouge dragon pursuivant, also wore embroidered satin
tabards.
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 waving his sceptre ; loud 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.

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 has been. As a proof it, her Majesty lunched
with the family to-day, and has signified her intention 0f,,,
!dining with them this evening.
The following little anecdote of the latter days of his,
date Majesty has been communicated to us :—One evening.
iat sunset, about a week before the King wieL first confined
Tto his chamber by the attack wh:ch terminated his life,:
his Majesty, unattended, was walking slowly up the lower'.,
!ward of the Castle, near the cloisters of St. George's:i
Chapel, and seeing the sexton with his keys about to;.1
close the door of that part of the chapel under whichl
!is the tomb-house, the burial-place of the House of
Brunswick, his Majesty said to him, .‘ Oh, you are .there ;,1
I may as well look in before you take away the keys."
The sexton threw open the door. The King entered ;g
closed the door after him ; and remained there alone 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. ['chef
building in question has long been used as a sort of lumber-
'room ; but, by his Majesty's order it was to have been con."
verted into a robing-room for the companions of the Order:
of the Garter ; much inconvenience having been experi-1
eneed at some by-gone installations, by their having to robel
in the Castle, and afterwards pass to St. George's Chapel,'
exposed to inclement weather.]
Whilst we are upon this subject, it may not be uninte-,i
7 resting to state that, by order of the late King, a large slab
*of highly polished black marble has within these last few
1

THE DUCHESS OF KENT AND

31

QUEEN VICTORIA.

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 restraints and 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 ordered, but were soon stopped on its 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, '
unfortunately drowned. He left a widow and family. The '
1.. poor widow hardly knew 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 of Sir John Conroy, a gentleman
f,
at Ramsgate, who had acquaintances at Deal, made 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 Albionit
'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. Some inhabitants of Ramsgate, without
,consulting the Duchess of Kent, hired constables at their;
