SPIRIT OF THE QuEEN-If all the anecdotes
related of the Queen Victoria are true, or even
the half of them. her courters and ministers have
gotten a mistress in her most gracious majesty.
A correspondent of the U. S. Gazette relates one
which gives a striking evidence Of her spirit, as
we'll as ofher affection for mother 1t seems that
her majesty had animated q desire for the pre-
sence Of the Duchess at a meeting of the privy
council: whereupon it was delicafely infmated to
her that such proceeding was contrary to Ell
quette-that the Duchess conld not be present
even attendant on the person Of the sovereign
And thereuPon her majesty prorogued the Council
in twinkling, and walked out of the room, with
a naughty grace that would have done no dis
credit even to the fiery Elizabeth. OF the same
character ives her answer to the objection raise(
against the appointment Of Miss Jinkinson, daugh
ter Of the Earl Of Liverpool one Of the ladies'

Jinkinson's rank was not sufficient to permit bel

When the Indians stood round the Secretary Of
