said Sir Robert Peel, " a confident expectation
that she was destined to a reign of happiness
for her people and of glory to herself." " There
is something," he added, " which art cannot
make nor lessons teach, and can only be sug-
gested by a high and generous nature." Her
.Majesty has completely realised the hopes
with which her careful education and her
demeanour on her accession to the throne in-
spired all her subjects.

Her Majesty has always willingly met her
People, and on both occasions she opened and
closed the Parliament in person. One of the
most memorable events since her accession
was the great festival given to her by the
City of London in November last year, which
her Majesty honoured with her presence.

All who have had occasion to approach her
Majesty speak with delight of her condescen-
sion and affability, and no deserving object of
the royal bounty ever applied to her Majesty
in vain.

Of her Majesty's personal appearance we
need not speak, as the splendid portrait above
gives more information at a glance than we
could convey in a column. We may observe,
however, that her Majesty is not tall, though
she is graceful in her movements.

Her Majesty is sail to be a good musician,
and to be well versed in moslern languages as
well as in those sciences, such as botany, which
are suitable for an an accomplished lady. She
has shown herself, since her accession to the

throne, a generous patron of the theatres andthe
fine arts, and has already done much to restore
them in England to the splendour of the Eliza-
bethan age. Men of science have not been
overlooked, and England promises to be as
celebrated under her reign for the peaceful
arts as ever it was for warlike deeds under the
most renowned of her predecessors.

Her reign has been already distinguished by
the establishment of a regular communication
by steam with the United States, and the rapid
improvements now continually made in the
arts, of which our journal this day presents one
splendid specimen, betoken an unprecedented
progress in civilization. For her Majesty's
reign to be glorious for herself and happy for
her people, her political measures must cor-
respond with the extraordinary movement now
impelled on society. Following a monarch
who acquired a deservedly-high reputation as
a reformer, her task, and the task of her states-
men, it must be admitted, is not' easy. But
those who see in all things the directing hand
of Providence will probably look on the graces
of a female reign as likely to temper most ad-
vantageously the character of the monarchy,
which, in this age of the world and with the
present temper of mankind, might be exposed
te much risk were either a heartless debauches
or a wilful tyrant to be on the throne.'
