THE QUEEN'S ARRIVAL AT BATH.

BATH, Monday Night.—This afternoon, a little
befdre six o'clock, the.QuEEN- arrived at her late
residence in Sidney-place. There was a train of
seven carriages. No escort of soldiers attended her
Majesty, but 20 or 30 of the inhabitants mounted
their horses, met the Royal carriages a few miles
off, and conducted them, without noise or bustle,
through the city. How different the spectacle
from the splendid appearance which our streets
exhibited but three short.weeks ago ! The gloomy
idea must make us pause—but it is now our duty
as men to endeavour to shake off, if possible, the
burtlien of grief.. Our gracious Queen and her
affectionate Elizabeth appeAred fatigeted and
drooping; but a journey of nearly 90 miles in one
day, at this late season of the year, and at her Ma-
jesty's advanced time of life, is no trifling toil. It
is one which the pursuit of health alone could
justify. May the wish of the_ people be realised,
and her Majesty long remain an example to her
sex .

The Committee for managing and. regulating
the parochial ways-and spacious streets, where
the, Queen's Palace (and such it may be justly
termed) is situated, .have not been idle during her
Majesty's lamented absence. The' shrubbery in
front of the house, lately a disgusting gravel pit,
has assumed a pleasing picturesque appearance,
and a mast, nearly 100 feet in height, has been
fixed in the' centre of it, from which a well-exe-
cuted flag, with the Royal Arms, is waving. '
The Mayor summoned the Members of the
Body Corporate, this day, to Guildhall, to consi•
der of addressing the Prince Regent, her Majesty,
and Prince Leopold, upon the late event which
has deprived the kingdom of a Gem so valuable
in the Diadem of England. We understand that
three affecting and loyal Addresses were produced
and adopted by this grateful and so highly ho-
noured Corporation.
Tuesclay Morning.—The Qum) did not per-
form her journey so easily as before. Although
she 'left Windsor nearly an beim. sooner, it was al-
most, six o'clock, yesterday evening, before she
arrived at her house in Sydney-place. The Queen
and Princess Elizabeth are attended by Lady ll-
chester, Lady Melville, General Campbell, and
Colonel Desbrow. Her Majesty Is,as received by
his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, who
bad arrived nearly an hour before, and she ap-
peared evidently fatigued by the journey, for, "as
she was stepping from her carriage into the hOuse,
her foot caught the threshold, and she would cer-
tainly have fallen, had riot his Royal Highness
been at hand to support her.—General Taylor
arrived about an hour after.

Her Majesty's return' to Bath was marked by
none of those joyful acclamations which greeted
her last entrance. She had, indeed, signified her
express desire, that no military escort should at-
tend her, and that her entrance might be quiet as
possible. Independently of this, much as her
Majesty's presence %%as desired by the inhabitants
of Bath, yet the grief which the N►►tion shares
has thrown a gloom over every face, and the ar-
rival of these illustrious personages appear to be
scarcely noticed.
Soon after the arrival of her Majesty, the Royal
party sat down to dinner, and afterwards retired
early to rest. No company had been admitted,
and the residence of .hcr Majesty remained in the
most perfect silence, distinguished only by two
grenadier centinels of the-38th regiment.
During the journey from Windsor•, her Majesty
alighted twice ; first at the King's Head Inn,
Thatcham, where, whilst the horses were being
changed, she partook of sandwiches, which had
been brought from Windsor, and again at the
Castle Inn at Marlborough, where the Staff of the
Wiltshire Militia formed a Guard of Honour, and
the fine band of that regiment played several na-
tional airs, as her Majesty partook of a very ele-
gant dejeun6, prepared by Mr. Cooper, the land-
lord, who was honoured by her Majesty's perso-
nal commendations of his arrangements. The
Landlord of the Pelican. hotel, at Speenhamland,
hail also made great preparation ; and, as the
Royal carriages approached the house% a carpet
was laid on the pavement. They, however, all
passed on,without stopping ; but her Majesty di-
rected some of her suite to express her regret at
the circumstance, and to say, that she would; visit
that house on her return.

Yesterday another Cabinet Council was held at
2 o'clock at the Foreign Office, which was at-
tended by the same Members as that holden on
Monday, and we understood with. the addition of
Mr. BRAGGR BATHURST. The Council sat in de-
liberation till past 5 o'clock. Another Cabinet
Council is expected shortly to be held.
