our old friend Carl King of straw hat celebrity, IN
return for the handsome present he made her. Not
only was The sweet little grrl excessively pleased to
have her pretty face shaded with hat made of the
June grass which grew in Massachusetts, but she d.
rected Lord John Russell to write Mr.. King letter
TO that effect, which we published and also directed
her Consul here to present il in person. But she did
not stop here for we perceive in the "Court Journal

an airing yesterday afternoon, accompanied by her

clerk and the Hon. Miss Grey. Her Majesty locked
unusually WE'LL and appeared to be in excellent health
and spirits. Her Majesty wore on this occasion, the
elegant hat lately sent her by the State of Massa-
chuset,s through their honorable representative Carl
King Esq, which came by the Great Western This
truly beautiful hat is made of grass pccullarto that
state, called June grass, on accoun, of its sprnging
up and decaying in that Msnth. The hat was uni
versaly admired by all the ladies in attendance on
them TO try 1t on, they all expressing great desire
TO avail themselves of the first opportunity they
had of wearing an American hat. We calculate, as
brother Jonathan would say, that if the hats
ally worn in the State OF Massachusetts are all as
handsome as the one sent 10 Her Majesty, that the
young ladies there must be worth looking at"
Now although we agree with the journals, that our
young ladies worth looking at yet wish to cor

stop here for by the Quebec she ordered this let

King.

Queen, and which her majesty has been graciousy
pleased TO accept, and has directed Sir Henry to ex-
press her appreciation of the decacy of its mannfac

Now, the next thing will be diamond present, or
a personal visit from the Queen 10 the King. Mi.
King, however will not stop here if the Queen does;
for he has now in the Mechanics Fair mo. 59)
split straw hat equally as beautiful as the one sent
TO the Queen 1, is of United States produce, and
has IS braids to the inch This hat is the finest that
ever exhibited in any fair and will be sent to
OF the royal family by the Great Western. We trust
