The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1853-06-28

late English paper informs us that the Queen
held drawing-room (the first Of the season) on
Thursday afternoon, in 81. James, palace; that
upwards of two hundred ladies were presented at
the reception, which was very numerousy attend
ed; that the Queen train of blue and silver
cloth, with gold stars, trimmed with gold braid
and silver blonde; that the petticoat was white net,
over white satin, trimmed with gold braid and
white roses, With green and gold leaves; and that
| her Majesty's head-dress was formed of dia-
monds and feathers-all OF which is very impor-
| tant intelligence to spread before the enlightened
| reading world in the middle Of this nineteenth
century
| The Inverness (Scotcb) Courier also apyrizes
| the community of man of some facts of startling
| interest, az that certain Mrs. Macintosh, who
| had been appointed ''wet nurse to her Majesty
| cher baby, we presume) has returned to the North
| (Which in England is understood to mean Scot
| land, } because, as it appears, her milk was toe
| rich tor the infant prince-and no wondering
much 80 that her child was also nursed by her
| for some time in order to reduce the quantity.'
| Mrs Macintosh, we are assured, left Osbor he amid
the regrets of the whole establishment, expressed
in the strongest terms, and accompanied by cub
stantial proofs of the Queens accustomed liber-
Atty. Her Majesty presented her with large
| hno valuable gOiu OTOOCu, an aiipie "aiu'oOe VI
clothes, and a check for hundred pounds--al
this being exclusive of travelling expenses.
We cannot withhold our sympathy from this
dainty young prince, inheriting, as he does, sc
feeble a constitution and destitute he is of the
ability TO imbibe nourishment TO strengthen it,
| To him the world is to be bandbox, lined with
downy pads and mirrors, while his contemporary
the young Macintosh, shall be breathing airs Of
| bee trea he of hjs iph nd
and glorying in The proud and joyous existence
| of one of Gods own noblemeu of nature
| But the jsjune prince, whose mental and mora
nature will in oil probability prove feeble bic
| alimental organization, is the of queen who
wears train of blue and silver cloth, with gold
stars, trimmed with gold braid and silver blonde
and has white net petticoat, over white satin
trimmed with gold braid and white roses, with
green and gold leaves, and a head dress formed oil
| diamonds and feathers What better title to regal
| dignity and power could be preferred? Your
statesmen with furrowed brows, your orators with
| eagle eyes, your warriors with sun Drowned
| cheeks and SCARED limbs, are all good enough
people in their places; but they should not seek to
rise above them. The right to reign supreme is
| inherited by sickly princes from parents who are
too imbecile to know aught OF the affairs OF govern
| ment but it is right divine, WHO shall ques-
| ton its validity?-howbet, to admit it seems like
| impeachng Providence with the mistake of maxim g
| but defective specimens of humanity for earthly
| rulers!
| We trust the appetite of the young prince may
yet improve, and that the royal mother may find
| it convenient, when next she holds drawing
room, to vary her costume, that the world may be
further enlightened respecting the adornments
| that hang arol md her precious little person.
