HER MAJESTY QUEEN ADELAIDE.

Her Majesty is the daughter of George Fluderich Charles, Duke
of Saxe Coburg Meiningen, by Louisa Elena% daughter of the
Prince of Hohenlohe Langenburg. Her Majesty was been on the
13th of Aug. 1792, and was baptised by the nuns of Adelaide
Louisa Theresa Caroline Amelia. In 1803 the Duke, her father,
died, leaving his Duchess Regent of the Duchy, and guardian of
his children, the present Duke, her Majesty, and her sister,'
the present Duchess of Saxe Weimar. The excellent Duchess
devoted her whole attention to the education of her children,
and the happiness of the people entrusted to her care. The
Duchy of Meiningen was too insignificant to attract the atten.
Lion of the Emperor of France, and it was left undisturbed,
and its little Court uncorrupted; and its Princesses, when grown
up, became tcelebtated for their exemplary conduct. Our
late excellent Queen, Charlotte, had long kept her eye upon
this virtuous family, which, flourishing like an Oasis in the great
esert of corrupted Germany, had attracted much of her regard and
j attention ; and, when she udged it prudent that the Duke of
Clarence should marry, strongly pressed upon his attention
the Princess of Meiningen. A marriage between the illustrious
parties wu the result, which took place at Kew, on the Ilth July,
1818, at which time the marriage ofsbe Duke and Duchess of Kern,
which had previously taken place in Germany, was solemnised
wording to the rites of the Church of England. Soon after the
remony, the Duke and Duchess of Clarence wort to Hanover,
where they remained till the spring of 1819, In the month of
Blare!' that year, her Royal Highness was delivered of a seven.
months child, which expired soon after its birth, and was in.
terred in the royal vault at Hanover. Shortly after her re-
covery the Duke and Duchess visited Meiningen, where they
spent six weeks, amidst the rejoicings of the inhabitants at
their coming among them. In October, 1819, they left Meinin.
gen, on their return to England, and the Duchess, who was
again pregnant, probably owing to the fatigue of the journey, had
the misfortune of suffering a miscarriage at Dunkirk. After her
very the Duke and Duchess spent six weeks at Weimer Castle,
where her health was restored, and they spent their winter in Lon.
don ' • after which they took up their permanent residence at Busby.
Her Royal Highness again gave premature birth to a Princess, who,
however, appeared likely to live, and, at the desire of his late Ma.
jesty, was baptized Elisabeth ; but when about dun months old
it was seised with a fatal illness, by which it was taken out of life
in a few hours. Within six months after that event her Royal
/Demon suffered another miscarriage; and no change in her Ma.
jesq's state has since been announced. Her Majesty Queen Ade.
aic is charitable, and has long been a blessing to the poor round
Bushy Park.

There are rumours of all kinds respecting the late
King's will. It is said, that in some of the recent visits
of the Lord Chancellor, he added codicils to the former
will which he had prepared, and that he has in one of
them left his stud to Lord Mountcharles. The Dukes of
Cumberland and Wellington have been upon sudden
visits with Sir W. Knighton, respecting the late King's
private affairs; the King had himself, to several members
of his family, expressed his wishes respecting them, but
Dot in every instance so definitively as might have been
wished : the fact is, that up to a very late period the
King indulged in a hope of speedy recovery, and oc-
cupied himself a good deal with anticipations arising out
of that feeling.
Baron Charles de Rothschild, and Baron Anselm de
Rothschild, arrived from• Paris last night.
Sir Robert Peel Is said to have openly given in his ad-
hesion to Mr. Hume as a candidate for Middlesex ;
which may, in some measure, account for the Honourable
Member for Aberdeen's subdued tone towards the Govern-
ment since the commencement of the new reign.

Mr. H. Grattan hu given notice of a motion, for
Thursday next, upon the distressed state of the people of
Ireland, and of Dublin in particular, with a view to adopt
soma plan to alleviate the -evils arising from the absen-
tees, and the consequent want of employment among the
inhabitants of that country.
Mr. R. Grant's notice of motion, which stands for this
evening, is for an Address to his Majesty " touching
the expediency of making provision ag • t dangers to
which the country might be exposed by a demise of
the Crown."

It is said that, if Sir Edward Codrington were to start
for Westminster, he would probably walk over the course.
