At the present moment when the feelings of the
public are so deeply interested in the circumstances

that attended the decease of their beloved Queen, we
avail ourselvetrof a statement, that appears to•be die-
tieguished by accuracy and fidelity, of her mitireani-
mous behaviour during the last trying scene of her
existence.--.At the beginning of last week, when her
sty's illness first assumed a serious character,
Holland requested her permission to send for an-
• Physician, observing, that whatever might be
Jwn individeal skill and attention, yet the public
,Id necessarily expect, in the case of a
), that every possible aid should be had recourse
Her Majesty answered with a smile to the follow-
effect :—" My dear Doctor, do what you please ;
will be any relief to your own mind to call in
;twice, du se ; but do not do it for my sate: I
no wish to live : I would rather die." Indeed,
the first moment that her Majesty was assured
se very serious nature of her iodispositioe, she
tog to the assurance with Joy and gratitude, and
tened with a reluctant ear to the hopes of recosery
her physicians and friends held out to her from
to lime. " Why do von wish me to live ?" she
on one occasion in the early part of her
taws ; " life to me can be nothing but a series
sorrows and persecutions; I shall be much
in another world than in this." It was
that she desponded too much ; that public

next evening. It is not improbable that her Majesty
then felt the symptoms of incipient isortification. She
seat for 11r. Wilde, who was in alkepdaneli.and ;Med
a codicil to her will: we believe it related to
she place of her interment. Her first wish was to be
buried in the same grave with her beloved daughter
but, added she, " I can bare little hope that the Go-
vernment will grant this wish : I desire, therefore, t
be buried in the same vault with my father and bro-
ther at Brunswick." When her Majesty lad signed
this codicil, abs • began to converse at considerable
length with Mr. Wilde: the physicians fearing that
conversation might disturb her, wished to withdraw
Mr. Wilde from the room, and that gentleman, from
the same motive, was anxious to go, but her Majesty
god him to stay. ",11 thank my physicians," she
d, " for their kind intentions : they mean nothing
but what is right; but they de not understand wr
character. They think that it agitates me to talk o
death : they are mistakes ; to me, 'who have little
pleasure in the past, and no prospect of future tranquil-
lity is this life, it is a pleasure to contemplate my ap-
proaching death and why may I not speak what I
feel ?" All these observations were made with sue%
sweetness of manner and such calmness of tone, as to
eke an impression never to be effaced from the minds
of those who were present. The sight between Moa-
day and Tuesday was passed without sleep, owing', i
is believed, to that restless aokiety which usually se-
companies the process of mortification. On Tuesday
afternoon about one, she again sent for Mr. Wilds and
Dr. Lushington, and again conversed on her weal to-
pics. Alluding to the few friends who had remained'
constant to her to the last, and for whom she expressed

the most grateful regard, she took occasion to observe,
that her ad rersarier had put in practice two modes of sepa-
rating worthy people from her society: one was to deter
them from visiting her by propagating the most atrocioas
calumnies against her and them : the second was, when
they saw her surrounded by persons of honour, to en-
deavour by anonymous lettets, and all means in their
power, to poison her mind against them, in order to
induce her to break with them. " Against the first
mode of attack," said her Majesty, " I could have
no help: the second plan I soon detected, and ther
" fere defeated." She then alluded to the practice o
opening the body after death, and said that she saw no
occasion for title operation in her case, and wished it
not to be done. She then begged that she might not
be made • show of after her death. " There has been,"
she observed smilingly, " quite enough of that in my
" lifetime; besides, there are persons who kept
" aloof from me when alive, who may have no oh-
" jection to see me when dead, and there is no good
" reason for satiffyiug their curiosity." She then
again adverted with great regret to her inability to
bestow adequate compensations on her servants, ov re-
membrances on her friends ; but said their services
and kindnesses were deeply written on her heart. Mr.
Wilde then left Ler for some time. About four o'clock
on access of fever came on, which, operating on
me already almost ',tiniest's* produced for a short
him a greater exultation of spi'ri'ts than she had y
manifested : daring this period else expressed leered
with mere vehemence of manner, bat still with the
same forbearance of language, touching the cruel con-
spiracies of her inveterate foes: but the fever soon
ided, and she recovered her usual gentle tone, her
usnal calm and firm demeanour: she was again al
resignation to the will of God. A drowsiness the
came on which lasted till nearly eight o'clock; wise
she suddenly awoke, and observing by her bed side
Dr. Holland, also, during her illness, had often ex-
pressed a hope of her recovery, said with a smile and
accent of the greatest sweetness—" Well, my des
Doctor, what do you think now ?" Her Majesty see
afterwards became insensible, but remained alive fo
above two hours, sbewing by her breathing a vi-
gour of the lungs and of the heart which the phys)
clans said exceeded any case they had ever witnessed.
At length, at t wenty-tive minutes past ten, her heroic and
rsecuted spirit ded to the region of truth, and ja
tire, and peace. The anguish of her friends, the
agony of her servants, we have before described; an
have only to add, that the physicians betrayed oleo
Lions of grief not often seen among the professions
attendants of a death-bed.

The west end of the metropolis, yesterday, pre
ssentcd a scene of gloom and sadness that struck to
Me heart of every beholder. At least nine shops out
if tel were partially closed, and the majority of the
"private houses had the shutters closed, or the blinds
erawn. The houses of several of the most distinguished
yersonages who had taken a decided part against
her Majesty during her life-time, exhibited the same
timbre appearance. At the mansion of the Lord
ClianceNur in particular, the shutters in the lower part
K the house were sbnt quite close, and in the upper
5d the blinds were drawn. Most of the houses in
. James's-squpre were ale* in the same state. Somer.
am-isoese and the other public offices were partially
closed, but the business proceeded u usual.
' At Carlton Mouse the shutters in front were all
closed: but whether in consequence of the recent

act able to state.
