view the disembarkation of their Queen.

" The packet, at about a quarter before one, came
close into the -Roads, but, on account of the tide, -
could not enter the harbour. Her Majesty, with her
usual promptitude, as soon as she understood that it
would be five o'clock before the vessel could get into
the Pier, determined to go to shore in an open boat,
though the swell of the water was so considerable as
to make it difficult to descend the ship's side. At
length, however, her Majesty and suite were safely

placed in the boat, which rapidly approached the
shore, amidst the most enthusiastic cheerings from

the countless multitude on the beach, the height-,
and all the avenues leading to the principal hotel.

" At one o'clock her Majesty put her foot on Bri-
tish ground: the royal salute began to fire, and an
universal shout of congratulation welcomed her arri-
val. For a few Moments her countenance and manner
bespoke considerable agitation : she was visibly ai;
fected by the cordial symptoms of regard which
welcomed her home: but she soon recovered hef,
self, and with a firm" step, a composed manner, and
a smiling but steady countenance, walked slowly
along the crowded ranks of the principal inhabitants.
Well-dressed females, young and old, saluted her as
she passed with exclamations of 44 GOD bless her—
she has a noble spirit-she must be innocent !" The
Queen returned the salutations with the warmest
marks of affectionate pleasure, and repeatedly thanked
them for their expressions of 'cordial attachment.-....
She appeared in good health, her blue eyes shining
with peculiar lustre, but her cheeks had the appear-
ance of a long intimacy with care and anxiety. She
is SlOl so lusty as formerly, but her manner and
figure altogether seemed perfectly befitting her ex-
alted station. She was dressed with great elegance.
As she moved along, the crowd gathered so fast,
and pressed so closely around her, that she was corn-
peiled to take refuge in the York Hotel. Mr. Wright,
of the Ship Hotel, seeing that it would be imposs;-
ble for her Majesty to reach his house on foot, im-
mediately dispatched a handsome open carriage to
the York. Her Majesty, Lady Hamilton, and Alder-
man Wood ascended the carriage : the populace re-
moved the horses, and draw it themselves. A band
of music preceded her Majesty, and two large flags,
bearing the inscription of " GOD save Queen Cam-
line," were carried by some of the principal tradesmen.
" A guard of honour was placed at the door of the
Hotel, but the people did not seem to relish their
appearance, and the Queen observing to Alderman
Wood that their presence appeared rather to produce
lan unpleasant and angry feeling, the 'worthy Alder.

man suggested the propriety of- their going away.
After playing ''GOD save Me King,' the soldiers re-
tired, and the populace seemed highly delighted.—
Her Majesty observed, that although sbe appreciated
as it deserved the attentions of the Commandant, yet
that she wanted no guard of soldiers: her firm re-
liance was on the just principles and cordial attach-
ment of her people. Her Majesty then went to did
principal window of the Hotel, and bowed several
times with great grace and sweetness of manner to
the happy assemblage. She then retired, and, first
taking a slight refreshment, lay down to rest after
the harassing fatigues of body and mind which she
had undergone.
" At five o'clock she awoke, and desired that the
carriages, which she now understood had been
brought on shore, should be speedily got ready, as
she would set off for Canterbury that evening, and if
possible reach Sittingbourne to sleep.
"At half-past five o'clock the writer of this letter
left Dover : the Queen was then expected to leave
the town at six. The road from Dover to Canterbury,
was crowded with people : indeed, the whole popu-
lation of the latter town were out in the streets to
greet her Majesty. The General in command had
ordered a guard of honour for her reception, and
the Mayor and Corporation intended (if her Majesty
should stop) tc: present an Address. The people at
Sittingbourne were equally on the alert, and the road
was lined with hundreds from the neighbouring
towns of Faversham and Milton.

Her Majesty, it was understood, would leave Sit-
tingbourne early, so as to reach London in full day-
light. She will repair to the house of Alderman
Wood, who has given up his house for her Majesty's
reception, the Government not having provided her
with a residence."

A greater-sensation on the Stock Exchange was
never created than was experienced this morning, in
consequence of the certain arrival of her MAJESTY in
this country. At different tunes reports have been
raised of her presence being expected, and it always
bad the effect of depreciating them a little. Consols
left off last night at 7034 for the Account, and the

ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN IN ENGLAND.
Last night, but too late for the Evening Papers,
accounts reached town.of the arrival of her Mitaaavv
at Dover yesterday, at eleven o'clock A. M. The event,
however, was announced to the Metropolis in an extra
editic.n of The Observer, and produced, as might be
expected, a most extraordinary sensation among all
classes of this immense City. AU were in motion,
and thousands of inquiries met every ear. The
" Where ?" the " When ?" the " How?" was in
every mouth ; and more surprising still, the business
of Parliament itself may be said to have been sus-
pended by the event, the presence of all the Ministers
being required at a Cabinet Council callod on the
occasion.

Thus has her BIAJESTY silenced the detailers of
scandal, who, up to the moment of her arrival being
made known, were appealing to the fact; of her " not
daring to shew her face in England," as evidencatof
the truth of their calumnies. It is a fundamental
axiom of our Constitutional fabric, that every person
shall be held innocent till their guilt has been proved
by regular process in a Court of Law; but base
minds, and only base minds, shew their malignity,
by propagating slanders to prejudice the Public, and
have the accused condemned before or without trial.
Has any individual of any rank been more exposed to
this species of assassination than her Mwszary?

" Yet some shew pity
" We skew it most of all when we ;hew justice!"
The proud front of innocence despises threats, and
defies calumny 1 To compound for money, where ho-
nour and character are assailed, is to purchase in-
famy ! We feel happy that the QUEEN has resclved
to face her accusers—should any presume to shew
themselves ; but we doubt much whether any will :
for it is in the very nature and essence cot- calumny to
shrink from a thorough ordeal. It blights and pe-
rishes when confronted by Truth.
We mentioned yesterday that Lord HUTCHINSON,
the bearer of a pioposition from the KING to her
MAJESTY, and her Majesty's Attorney-General, Mr.
BROUGHAM, had proceeded to meet her MAJESTY
at St. Omer's. They reached that place on Saturday
evening, and immedi4tely waited on her MAJESTY.
'he Noble Lord, it is stated, announced that be had
a proposition to submit to her from the KING. Her
MAJESTY instantly replied,. that she must decline
