[NEW TIMES.]

The justice of our remark, that "a very few
minutes might produce the greatest change" in the
Queen's situation, has been too awfully confirmed,
Her Majesty expired last night at twenty-
five minutes past ten! In the early part of
the day a Bulletin was issued, which seemed
but a prelude to a more unfavourable change.
—A short time afterwards those symptoms
which had previously been regarded as indi-
cating a prospect of recovery, gave way to
others of a different kind. Drs. Ainslie and
Warren, who had sate up the whole night
with her Majesty, had now retired for necessary
'repose ; but the other Physicians present en-
tered into consultation, and at length, at four
o'clock in the afternoon, issued what may be
called an alarming Bulletin.—From this period,
her Majesty's end rapidly approached. To inqui-
ries, at a later hour no other answer was given
than that there was no new Bulletin, and that ,
none would be issued unless some alteration
should take place. At length, about the hour of
111, an unusual bustle was observed to take place
at the house. One or two persons were dis-
patched in different directions, and conjecture
readily supplied the cause of these appearances.
In a quarter of an hour, or twenty minutes after-
wards, a servant brought to the gate a Bulletin,
intimating that her Majesty had departed this
life, which was read aloud by a Gentleman to
the individuals present, who, at that time, were
not more than 12 or 14.—0 f the sentiments with
which her Majesty's decease impresses us, we
have already spoken by anticipation in our paper
of Monday'. To what we have there said, we
have only to add—Requiescal in Pace !

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

About six o'clock Dr. Lushington and the
Hon. Douglas Kinnaird arrived and remained
for some time.—The very •sudden and unexpect-
ed relapse her Majesty has suffered was of the
moss alarming nature the first symptoms were
observable, soon after ten o'clock in the morning
of yesterday when the illustrious sufferer corn-

plained.of increase of pain in the seat of the dis-
order ; this was soon followed by spasmodic at-
tacks, and considerable apprehension was for
some - time entertained for her life. The most
effectual remedies were instantly applied by the
three Physicians in attendance, and the Queen
obtained some little relief; this was not, how-
ever, of long duration—and, on the second
attack, the increase of inflammation was so
alarming, that it was deemed necessary to
issue the following Bulletin ( See another
column of Tux Sox.)--Her Majesty, we
are informed, was fully sensible of her very
dangerous state, and not half an hour since ex-
pressed herself piously resigned to the will of
Heaven, requesting she might not be disturbed,
as she was confident she was departing for a bet-
world.—From that period all the symptoms
of dissolution became more and more evident.
About ten o'clock all hopes of recovery were at
an end, and the agitation and anxiety of her at-
tendants were evinced by the loudest shrieks.
At 25 minutes past ten her Majesty was no more,
and a scene took place which baffles all attempt
at description. All the servants rushed with a
simultaneous movement into the hall, fell pros-
trate on the ground, and, in accents of the most

heart-piercing grief, called out that their mistress
—their beloved mistress, was no more. Her Ma-
jesty died almost without a struggle, in the arms
of Lady Anne. Hamilton and Lady Hood. Ex-
presses were immediately sent off to Lord Liver-
pool and the Lord Mayor, and other public func-
tionaries.

The late General SCOTT, so celebrated for his
success in gaming, was one evening playing very
deep with the Count D'Artois and the Duke De
Chartres, at Paris, when a petition was brought
up from the widow of a French Officer, stating
her various misfortunes, and praying relief ; a
plate was banded round, and each put in one,
two, or three Louis d'ors ; but when it was held
to the General, who was going to throw for a
stake of 500 Louis • d'ors, he said, " Stop a mo-
ment if you please, Sir; here goes for the widow!"
—The throw was successful, and he instantly
swept the whole into the plate, and sent it down
to her.

Mr. JOEL Bisnor, who formed one of the pro-
cession to the Cathedral at Bristol on the day of
the Coronation, had attended the ceremonies ob-:
served in that city on the Coronations of George
the Second and George the Third, being now in
the hundredth year of his age ; notwithstanding
which, after supper on that day, he drank his
MAJESTY'S health in a bumper, and sung a hunt-
ing song to amuse his friends.

The celebrated painting of " Moses striking
the Rock," by Muair.r.o, which is placed in one
of the hospitals in Seville, is likely to be trans-
ferred to this country; the enormous sum of
4000 guineas having been offered for it by a
Noble Amateur, which it is thought will. be ac-
cepted.
