The Oueen.-You have been aware from
previous letters ofmine, that decided cool
ness existed between Queen Victoria and the
Duchess of Kent. For five weeks they had
no direct-no personal communication. The
Duchess during that time never once dlned
with her royal daughter. but resided IN her
own apartments, which are in a wing OF the
Palace, most distant from those Ofthe Queen.
Once a day, formal message passed be-
tween the two personages, and that was all.
This was extremely unpleasant. and It much
affected the spirits and visibly influenced
the health of the Queens mother. fort.
night ago, told you that sort of peace had
been patched up, and that the Duchess OF
Kent was again invited, once or twice to dine
with her daughter. This hollow peace mas
been broken, and things are now worse than
ever. An insult of very sighting nature
was put upon the Duchess of Kent by one OF
her daughters most favored and confidential
attendants. On q representation of this. the
Queen laughed at it. The complaint was
renewed. and q very pettish and undaugh-

given before many Witnesses ladies OF
rank and fashion. The Duchess burst INTO
tears, hastily said, /. Did make all my sac

English air called Pray, Goody, please to
moderate the rancour of your tongue J! This
mode. of conduct may be exceedingly Queen

the exact bearing of Victoria on TINS occa-

Duchess of Kent thus was forced to DO what
she wished to avoid. She sent for the Duke
of Wellington-albeit her political views dill
fer from his--and placed in his hands a
written statement of her case. In this, she
demanded dismissal Of the lady in the Roy
al household who had insulted her The
Queen placed her case in the hands of-Lord
Melbourne! The umpires met, but the
Queen would not concede the point that her
attendant should be dismissed or even repri-
manded. At last, the demand being sine

part Of the Duchess, the Queen requested to
