A FOREIGN VIEW OF THE QUEEN'S BOOK.—" The
Diary of the Queen of England"—a touching record of
sorrows and souvenirs written in memory of Prince Albert
and of the domestic happiness of the Queen, has been just
published in London. Nothing is at once mole honourable
and more sad than this uncoloured history of a life ab-
sorbed by conjugal affection and undivided family solici-
tude. It is the record of a woman not of a Queen. The
Queen is inexhaustible in her admiration of the Prince
Consort, and when she quotes the words or the acts of this
royal mode], we are quite surprised to find them of the
ordinary and common type. The fact is they were trans-
figured by the Queen's love. A tone of extreme sim-
plicity and natm mines! pervades these familiar utterances.
The Queen's children are everywhere called by the in-
fautine abbreviation of their names—the Prince of Wales
"Bertie," Prince Alfred " Alhe." Occasionally a charitable
visit, a walk resulting in some kind act, lights up the re-
cord of this life of private affection and of real religion.—

WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—In consequence of consi-
derable inconvenience having arisen to the public from
unauthorised persons in the neighbourhood of the Abbey
assuming the character of guides, and thus misleading and
exacting money from visitors, under the pretence of show-
ing them the precincts and the entrance to the church, we
are requested to warn the public against all such persons,
and to state that the north door of the Abbey is always
open on week days from 7.45 a.m. till dusk, and on Sun-
days, for the services, both this door and that by Poet's-
corner. On week-days the latter door is closed for the
present, in consequence of the works for the restoration of
the Chapter-house close by.
GALLANT RESCUE OF A CREW.—The American
ship Great Western, Captain Cunningham, arrived at
Liverpool on Tuesday, from New York on the 25th of
December. On the let of January the Great lVestern
fell in with the British ship Northern Belle (which left
Liverpool for Boston on the 16th of November last, in
lat. 40 40, long. 57, in a sinking condition. The crew on
board the Northern Belle were in a most destitute state,
.And Captain Cunningham, seeing their condition, stood by
the sinking vessel for three days and three nights, and after
many successful, but perilous, trips between the vesselp,
the boats of the Great Western succeeded in rescuing the
entire crew
