O'Clock in the morning She takes her supper regularly
at O'Clock in the morning. In the public audiences
given by the Queen almost of having to wait
hours beyond the time appointed this Is even
the with her mntters who have to wait as well as
others They are indeed, sometimes sent away after
waiting long time without seeing Her Majesty at al,
sometimes called up In the middle Of the night
to audience She listens attentively to her minister's
when they speaking to her. aud is especially delight
ed with any opportunity proposed Of performing some
act of benevolebce Though possessed Of deep sensi-
bities she nevertheless bold aud fsress She boldly
drives team Of four horses and on horseback such Is
her that she ventures to ride the most spirit
ed horses such but herself would venture to

with her day. said, "My DEAR your horses know
that you are Queen, and obey you perfectly"
The Queen very fond Ct music, and does not connne

part In the which she gives, singing spanish
airs with all the grace Of Andausan. One OF her
greatest passions however the toilette she is fond OF

APPROACH OF WINTER-THE OLD CLo' TRADE
The mornings and evenings are beginning to be
extremely cold. The fall has thus far been very
mild, almost as genial as spring We have had
double dose of Indian summer, but the dose is
now nearly expended, and every day we expect
the winter to commence with a cold, sharp,
biting west wind.
As the winter approaches, it brings with 1t the
responsibility OF the rich and Independent, and
the dstresses and privations Of the poor and
needy. Besides food, men, women and children
must be clothed; as you go through Broadway,
or any of the bye-streets, the eye can discover
numbers of poor creatures, lily prepared, from
their clothing, to bear the chilly blasts of our
severe winters, that will soon be on them.-
There arc a great many persons, not rich,
but who are well to do in the world as
the term is, who have plenty OF old clothes,
of all descriptions, sthat would be extremely
valuable to the poor, but Of little value if sent
to the old clothes shops, and sold for mere
song. A few days ago we sent to one of those
shops large bag full of such articles, merely for
the purpose of getting rid Of wardrobe lumber
These old clo' people are curious chaps. They
sent us back for the whole lot only SIS, and on
| ascertaining this, the servant was directed to
return and demand them, as they were certain
ly worth ten or fifteen dollars at least. We are
now determined to take and distribute them
among the destitute of the city, sooner than that
the old clo' people, who live on the distress Of
others, should reap any benefit from them.
We have, therefore, at our disposal, large
quantity of old clo', and we mean to turn old
clo' dealer, merely for the fun of the thing, and
partly for the benefit OF the poor. don't
mean to interfere with the regular Hebrew old
clo' people Of the city, or to defraud any of the
descendants of old Noah of their legitimate bust
ness, for we suppose when he came out of the
ark he had large quantity to dispose of among
his grand-sons So ii is with us, after our return
| from our long voyage, and we intend, if we can
| find proper mode of distribution, to them
| all away to the poor Of our day.
| Persons, therefore, who can give, reliable
information where there are poor boy and girls
and poor women in want of some comfortable
second hand clothing for winter, will 1 please to
let us knew, and we shall make arrangements. in
conjunction with our better half, to carry on as
large a business in old clo as our wardrobe will
aford-and all gratis. So, go ahead.

GREAT FRESH IN JAMES RIvER.I!ames River
has suddenly risen to an extraordinary height.
At O'Clock, yesterday, it was higher than it

the entire span of Mayo's Bridge, from the Rich

on the other side of the Island had previously
been carried away, and the whole is now un-
derstood be gone. The banks on both sides
below the falls were overlooked. Rockets was,
large part of it, inundated, and considerable
loss was the consequence. We understand that
large quantity Of lumber has been swept off.
X. II. Whitlock loses thus, about $1,000, and r.
l.. Coleman about $4,000, (Sl5OO Of which may
perhaps, not fall on him.) Glenn s. Crenshaw
also sustain considerable !oss-the amount not
ascertained. Haskins & Libby, the basement OF
whose store Was inundated. lose, perhaps, $500
in damage to their goods. We hear of no other
individual loss in Rockets from inundation;
but their must be others injured. All communi-
cation between lower Rockets and this side of
Gillie's creek is cutoff. The steamer Alice broke
from her fastenings and drfted down to the bar,
where she brought up, She sustained some injury.
The dock was overlooked, and all the cellars in
the Market Bridge vicinity, on Main street,
saved, though some loss has been sustained.
The Falls Plantations, those extensive fields on
the opposite side of the river, below Manchester,
which form so striking feature In the views
from Richmond, were 0Vernowed Tor great
extent. The vessels at Rockets had sustained
no injury up to the time Of our last information
thence. Several had broken loose and gone
adrif, but brought up short distance below,
without material injury. We have serious APP
prehensions for the canal, but trust that the
banks have so increased their strength by this
time as to Withstand the effects OF this great
freshet better than in former day. Six O'Clock,
2. M.-The river is still rising. The water is
up on the pavement, under the shed used as a
fish market, adjoining the old market. Franklin
and Cary streets, at Shockoe creek, are over
flowed and the water is nearly to the floors Of
some of the stores near Old Market Bridge.
The Virginia Wooden Company, whose factory
is next to Hexall's mill, has sustained some
the lower rooms Of their buildings. 1t is many
feet high in Haxall's mills. Fearful forebodings
are entertained with regard to the canal. The
river must have risen at Mayo's Bridge from Is
