visit Of the Queen of England to Germany, does
sppear to have been particularly gratifying TO either
party. According to the Courier deS Eats URiS,
the journals of the two countries indulgiRg in
series of remarks in relation to II in which conside
rable quantity of acid seems to be infused 1t may
amuse our unpublished republican readers TO see how
two female sovereigns, the porcelain clay of the
earth, allied by blood and friendship, spoken of
by their respective subjects. The Times says: 1.-THE
soiourn of Stobzenfeld was awfnlly stupid for her
Majesty and Prince Albert Indeed it will easily be
conceived that young and beautiful Princess whose
grace and elegance are known to all Europe must
have found herself entirely out of place in that Ter
man society whose duness and stiffness had become
proverbal. Her Majesty made only flying visit to
Stobzenfeld.''
! To this German paper thus replies: The Queen
Of England and Prince Albert had but little success
with US How could it be otherwise! Victoria is
coquettish, airsh young woman rather too free in her
manners, and mucn too broad in her jokes As TO
Prince Albert, he says nothing and apparently thinks
about as much. The Royal couple made only flying
visit to Stobenzfed."
This brings out the Times again: So The Queen
would have been bored to death at Stobzenfed if the
Court of Prussia did not present series of the most
amusing carcatures. Only imagine those old Prussian
heads perched on bodies movin. springs by means
of legs like those of plucked heron. The Prince,
who draws like Raphael, has brought home some
capital sketches for the Dukes Album. What par
the Prince was the figure and tornure of Queen Eliza
beth, who undertook rival in dignity and majesty of
bearing her sister of England Certainly the attempt
was laudabe, but the result was so funny that the
Queen and her august spouse laughed like the Olym
plan Gods" Then comes the German again:
Z" A singular menage is that of her majesty the
Queen and his majesty the King of England. The
wife commands and the husband obeys, Gas if
there any thing strange in that) Albert
dimes upon the wing of a chicken and
Ia raniRe, while Victoria devours roast beef and
plum pudding; the man ruffles and the
wife pantaloons In short, she little laxen haired,
white faced woman rides on horse back like cuiras-
sier: willie he stout burly lad with mousachioes
plays on the guitar like pater's daughter. The
worthy couple diverted us extremely.
SOMETHING RIcH.- The committees of the two
houses of the British Parliament, in selecting the
names of persons distinguished in British history,
literary, scientific, religious, military political,
whose statues are to adorn the Capitol, have
jected Oliver Cromwell and chosen Sir Francis
Drake. We might write chapter, or even book,
upon this rejection of Cromwell, one of the greatest
men in English history, the champion and Preserver
of English liberty, the founder of English commercial
prosperity. His memory should be especially precious
to Americans, the asserter, in their fatherand of
the very principles successfully planted on Plym
outh Rock, and which will soon this whole
tinent.
but leaving The great cromwell, we proceed TO Sr
Francis Drake. And who he! A pirate, an
outlaw violaor of the laws of nations, a highway
man and murderer! In period of peace between
Spain and England, he sailed plundering expedi
ton against the commerce Of Spain in South America ;
and while on the high seas, soon after sailing, he put
one of his officers to death in defiance of all law.
His life forfeit for piracy any European nation
that could catch him; and upon returning TO England
his life forfeit only for piracy but for this
murder. And had Queen Elizabeth been honest
woman or prince, instead of the creature that she
was, the laws woud have been enforced against Mas
ter Drake, and he would have been tried, convicted
and hanged But he bribed the murderess of Mary
and of Essex to grant him pardon and title. But
the respectable portion of his contemporaries would
lot associate with Sir Francis A pretty fellow for
a statue in the British Capitol.
We also perceive that the committees have rejected
Edward j, though they have admitted Edward III.
But English liberty is indebted to Edward ],
than to any other King from the days of Alfred.
From his reformations In the laws, he is called by
lawyers the English Justinian. He hated and OPP
posed the barons, the great landed proprieors and
therefore is probably no favorite with the modern
English arstocracy. Then he did more than all of
his predecessors together than any of his
ors to Establish English manufactures, especially of
wool. Edward Ill. was great military chiefain,
and little of tyran but inferior to Edward /. as
statesman or philanhropist Some Of the very best
