QUEEN CIIIUSTINA.

(From the Gazette the Midi of Marti! 19. )
We have a letter from R nne, written a few s after
Queen Christina's dera-ture, and which emanat -s from a
person worthy of c:c lit. If that p• non has been rightly
informed, as others have assured us, Christina has given
to Spain an example of submi,ion which the censures of
the lily See ca ear t kit t., recogr i e:—
OaA.ll Wednesday," says the letter, " the ex-Re
gent visite I th^ Paulina Chapel, st the Vatican, where she
sent for the Pope. Ilis lioness immediately repaired
thither, and Christina declared to him, that, being much af-
fected, wishing to put an end t,) the troubles of her con-
science, she came to throw herself at his f •et, in order to
atone for so many- errors, and to crave fe rgiveness fur the
evils she had caused to the Church in Spain. The
Ripe could not restrain his tears; he !eat for two

to teo!ive in their tresenee the public confession of the
Queea, and, after 1 avieg gi‘ea her absolution for all the
censure she had incurieil, the Pope wished that declaration

to be in wiitieg, and signed by Christina herself. This
was done, and the act deposited inottchoeatirtcm•heiz st cannot be

At her Majesty's Levee yesterday the Address
of Congratulation on the Birth cf a Princess, from the
Grand -Masonic Ledge of Scotland, to her Majesty the
Queen, was ',resented by a Deputation consisting of the
Hon. Fox Maule, M. P. • Mr W. F. Mackenzie, M. P. ;
and Mr. W. A. Laurie. The Fad of Dunmore, who should
hive headed the Deputation, was, from a recent dome,t'e
affliction, prevented from attending the Levee.
ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.--A very
full general meeting of members was held on Monday
evening, G. 13. Greenhough, Esq., President, in the
Chair. Colonel Jackson introduced to the notice of the
meeting a beautiful instance in which the electrotype pro-
cess had been introduced to maps, being the first of tho
kind which had been executed. The map, which was pre-
sented by Captain l3eaufort, was of tl.e Island of Ascen
sion, and there was no distinction between this specimen
and the one from which it had been taken. 'There
were also exhibited two embossed maps from Mr. Acker.
mann, which were comparatively cheap, and gave a
good idea of tie places they represented. Captain Grey
gave an account of his survey of five yea^s of the coast of
Asia Minor. The whole coast had be 2n re-survejel
by this expeditim in one continued tizegulation, as
also part of the Morea and Attica. Ile will return on
the first of next month to survey C atis, to ascer-
tain the longi udes of the places on the e•stern basin of
the Mediterranean, to Acro and Jaffa, and thence to Jo-
rtbalern. The whole of the survey, when completed, will
be one of the most interesting and important undertaken
alone
fir some time. A paper was next re id from Col. 1 Lloyd,
being an account of a recent journey across the. .islt imfust;oe
