THE QuEEN's MARnrAeB.--The constant

THE QuEEN's MARRrAeF.--The constant
attendance of Prince George Of Cambridge on
the Queen, when she is engaged in party
of pleasure, has given much uneaslness to
certain clique of confederates at court. The
Queen is one who, though young in years, well
knows power and she is one also who will
moi allow her feelings to be controlled by i'm
pertinent interference. Lord Melbourne en-
courages the intimacy between the Royal cous-
ins, and there is every prospect of seeing the
Prince the consort of Queen Victoria. Should
this event come of, there will be weeping and
gnashing o teeth among the German satel-
lites. Prince George is now in his twentieth
year, and it is stated that he will remain at
Gibraltar, visit Malta, and other of our posses
sions, SO as to be absent two years, when he
will receive her Majesty's hand. The mar
riage-of cousins have not always been felici-
tous but we imagine that the Prince, who
is particularly generous and good-tempered,
will make a very comfortable companion for
the little lady London S0tirist
