Mr. Rich, M. p; but the Queen dned alone.
In the Queens private drawing-roon, that evening,
nearly all the ladies of her suite present "Am

"No, your Majesty" said the sister of Lord Nor
peth.
"Then will not, rest assured" replied the
Queen"

Baroness Lehzen.
"Neither will l." said the Queen.

"Nether will ~ said the Queen. And with this
determination the Camarla Council Gas il has since
been called,) broke up.

Peefs party were turning over the Red Book"
and marking those who to be turned out, for it
was already known that the ministry would resign
that night. Round the Hobbies of both houses hung
crowds Of curious and anxious spectators, to make
their observations upon the members they enter

John Russell entered and took his seat. A few Pc
titions were presented, and he and said, that
ministers had resigned, and moved an adjournment

narrated to the Queen by Lady Normandy, and her

by ten o'clock and were Immediately introduced to
the Queen. They were in good spirits; and as they
afterwards expressed themselves felt conscious that
the tories could not retain their places long.

The Queen arose, as may be supposed, in no very
happy frame Of mind that morning. She was with
