some relief, and, for the first time, hopes b.
gan to be entertained that she had passed the
crisis of her disorder. In the morning of Mon
day her state was certainly more favourable
than it had been. AT half past two o'clock
on tharday Dr. Baltic arrived, and imnedi-
ately held consultation with the four other
physicians. Her Majesty had been bled with
leeches, and found herself able to retain OF
her stomach little aTrow-root and some med
icines she had also, at her own request, been
raised from her bed, and was seated in am arm
chair, when she was first seenby DIR. Baltic.
From these and other circumstances, the med
ical gentlemen viewed the case in more fa-
vourable light than they had before done. but
hesitated to pronounce the Queen out of
danger; though, as was natural, the hopes of
her dome sticks, and Others personally interest
ed In her recovery, outstripped the caution OF
the physicians. Still her Majesty was ex-
tremely weak and feeble from her long and
acute sufferiRgs, and the small portion of sus-
tenance that she had been able to take and
when she spoke (Which she did relative to the
disposal OF her property and other matters)
she was very faint, and felt it necessary to be
revived from time to time by a smelling bot
tie. The hopes that were entertained dur
inS the latter part of Monday, however, were
rapidly weakened during the night, and had
entirely vanished on Tuesday morning, when
II was evident her Majesty, after sleepless
night, had suffered relapse, or rather that
the favourable appearances OF the day had
been merely delusive. g'he primary cause of
suffering had in fact been permitted to 90 too
t>-, eefvEv nrrtiUti auvice was resorted to !;
and the disorder was, therefore. much beyond
the power of medicine when it was first at
tempted to be relieved. At this time the
Queen gave up all hope, and declared she
could not survive the day.
The statement that the Queen expired in
the arms of Lady Ann Hamilton, and immedi-
ately after utterng benediction ON that la
dy, is Gas win be seen by the above narratiye)
quite incompatible with the actual facts.
She lay extended on her back, almost without
motion and apparently without sensation, for
the last two hours OF her life. The long sto-
ries, too, which are told of what she said in
the course OF Tuesday afternoon, and of the
highly important and interesting facts''
which she is mentioned to have adyerted to
within SIX hours of her dissolution, must, it is
evident, be the mere fabrications of ill-dispos-
ed minds. In the last conflicts of an enfeebled
body, with the pangs of violent disease,
such selt-possession and command of mind,
which these stories imply, are utterly beyond
the power OF human nature.

Death of Queen Caroline.


TINS extraordinary woman has at length quit
the scene of her earthly troubles. The cir
cumstances attending the death of one who.
when living, excited so much attention. cam
not but be interesting to our readers. We
have therefore devoted to the subject large
space in our columns.
1t is perhaps unnecessary to caution our
readers against yielding implicit confidence to
the statements in the English papers, concern
ing either her declarations during her illness,
or her disregard Of religious duties. The pa-
Pers ON both sides are interested witnesses, and
not little is on that account to be deducted
from the weight of their testimony. If we are
to believe, wholly, either the one side or the
other, the Queen was either a prodigy or a
monster-a being whose character was of I'M
suihed brightness, or, Of unexanpled pollu-
ton. Whatever may have been her follies or
even her crimes, or, however free she NAV
have been from either, she probably was not
such as her friends, or as her enemies. have
represented.
The real character Of this injured woman
Vm3uTed, however much she might have ered.l
will probably continue to be involved in some
mystery. One thing, however, is certain :
very rarely does guilty person succeed, as she
did, repeatedly, 10 indicating herself against
the imputaticns of those who were seeking an
occasion to destroy her, Even during the last
prosecution, upheld as it was by all the power
and influence Of the Government, nothing. ON
the whole, resulted from the investigation,
which would have induced any impartial jury
to pronounce her guilty. We are aware this
is against a very prevalent opinion; but it is
not said without a careful attention having
been bestowed upon the improbable, and alb
surd, and contradictory, and impeached testi-
mony given against her.
We have heard suggestions of the probabii-
ty of her having been poisoned, The suppos-
ed nclinations and the worthless character of
her husband may lead to stch a suspicion. but
nothing appears from the circumstances of her
disease and death to warrant that conclusion.
Agreeably to her request, her remains have
been sent to Brunswick for interment. The

1t seems, by arrivals still more recent than
those mentioned in our news columns, that the.
removal of the Queens remains was attended
with riot and bloOdshed. The particulars are
given at much length in the English papers,,
extracts from which shall be made hereafter.
The friends Of the Queen were indignant at
the haste OF the Government in removing the
body, and at its refusal to permit the process
sion to move from Brandenburg house through
the city TO Harwich. On the morning of the
removal an immense multitude assembled at
Hammersmith, determined to force the process
sion through the city. This determinations
was strengthened by the appearance of mill
tary escort which the Government had ordered
out. Accordingly, the populace proceeded to
barricade every avenue by which the city
could be avoided, and eventually succeeded
IN forcing the procession, with all its military
escort, to take the route which pleased them.
This was not effected, however, without
bloodsaed, the military having fired upon the
people and killed several Individuals
object of the people being accomplished, no
further disturbance took place, and the corpse
on the third day reached Harwich, and was
conveyed on board the Glasgow frigate.
One would suppose that the British ministry
had already disgraced themselves enough by
their humanity prosecutions Of the Queen while
living, without violating common dece4cy by
their treatment of her corpse. The reason
given for their conduct is. the paltry one of an
apprehension of popular commotion, if the re.
moval of her remains was delayed, and if they
should pass through the city. Lord Liverpool
was however warned by spirited and indig-
nant letter from Lady Hood, wife of the Cham
berlain of the late Queen, that his arrange
ments would probably occasion bloodshed;
and the event verified the prediction.
The King, according to the last advices.
was drinking the health of his delighted Irish
subjects in "glasses of good whiskey punch -
while some halfdozen friends of his cousin and
wife were attending her remains to the house
appointed for all Using,

As some doubt has been expressed of
the extent of her Majesty's religious
impressions, it is but right it should be
generally known, that almost immedi-
ately after the dangerous tendency of
her illness was announced To her, she
expressed wish to receive the Holy
Sacrament and for this purpose, the
Rev. Mr.. Atwood, Hammersmith, was
summoned on Sunday morning to Bran
denburg House but when he arrived,
her Majesty was more mwell than usual,
and the ceremony was obliged 10 be post
poned. In the night of Monday she
again expressed to one of her medical
attendants her wish and determination
to partake of the Holy Communion in
the course of the following day; but
the fatal change in her Majesty's disor-
der took place before her intentions
could be completed.

The people of England will make their own
comments. From the beginning to the end of
this elaborate account OF protracted DEATH
bed scene, there is not one consoling SYLLABLE
to induce the Christian readers belief that the
Queen ever once thought of preparing for
another world.
She eyinced carelessness of life. and a
restlessness from selfinduced degradation
i'll the eyes Of the nation; and her last hours
were spent in talking of plots and conspira-
cles ~lttch meier EXISTED, and in inquiring what
good her popularity had done, as if she were

IN an angry lamentation after s. the privileges. },

land, was Tuesday, the last day OF her mortal
career expended,

near to receive, amidst the impressive cere-
mohlals OF his Office, and TO publish to the
| world her solemn declarations of innocence. -
vi these declarations none specifically appear;
but the Times still speak truly, and lamcnta.
bic II IS to reflect upon, not only that no mi
tired prelate" was present, but that religion
was altogether forgotten in the last s. peaceful
nloments'' Of her Majesty's life. We hear of
her Majesty making codicils to her will-we
hear OF her Majesty talking oyer her worldly
affairs to Alderman Wood--we hear of her
Majesty entreatmg her legal advisers to STAY
with her---we hear Of her Majesty's banker
arriving at full galiop-but we hear of no
clergymen having been called upon, (the
Rev. Mr.. Wood mentioned, is lad, a son Of
the Alderman's at Cambridge, but we much
doubt his being in orders.) We certainly do
not hear Of her Majesty's prayers, nor of her
Majesty's participation in the Blessed Comn.u-
