The late Trouble a, ,he Qoeso,. Levee.

The Locdon Morning Star, of June 9Th,
gives the following correct version of the in
cident OF which the London Times gives
such an exaggerated account -
We will now present a a sober record oil
what really did occur at her Majes,y's Ievee
on Wednesday. Mr.. Dallas departed from
the American Legation House 10 present
himself before the Queen 10 the most ortho-
dox ant full dress suit, including sword by
his side, white neckerchief, and fancifu hat.
He had received authority from, his govern
menl 10 conform, in such matters, entirely
to The usage of this country; and he believ
ed, in his own conscience, that it was only
wise and respectful TO the highest lady in
England that such established ceremony
should be observed. He was accompanied
in his carriage by gentleman Of high mill
tary education and Standing in the United
States, who coveted the honor of being pre-
senled 10 the Queen, and the anlecedent ar.
rangemen had been m ade for his pressnla-
tion in The diplomatic circle. This gentle.
man, known 10 ourselves as of the kindest
and most gentle manners, and 10 whom the
public have been indebted for information
that has appeared in the correspondence de-
partment of our journal, was dressed, not as
the Times tauntingly represents in yellow
vest and frock coat, but with dress coat,
white ves:, and military stock-eniirely in
all respects as he would have been had he
presented himself to his Commander. in.
Chief al home. 1t did not occur 10 him or 10
the American Minister that there could be
any possible objection 10 such suit, and both
were most anxious 10 conform 10 every state
court requirement as matterof duty as well
as Of form. However, the Master of Cere-
monies, Sir Edward Gust, perceived that
the American gentleman had come wiihou,
a cooked ha, and sword, and with military
cravat thai could not have been white and
iu the most courteous and forbearing way, he
made Mr.. Dallas acquainted with the char.
acter Of his instructions. Mr.. Dallas, with
equal good feeling, and free from all excite
meut, observed that he could scarcely pass
on 10 The, presence of the Queen and leave
his friend behind him, and it was mmedi.
ately arranged that both should retire. There
was no i'll feeling on either side, and no ap-
pearance Of such thing. The American gen.
leman felt he had made a mistake in not
properly inquring into the nature of court ar.
rangemenis. and the Master of the Ceremo.
nes appeared 10 be very much grieved that
his duty required him 10 interfere. The
matter then came. we have been told, TO the
ears OF the Queen, and il il had been thought
advisable TO carry out her wish there is no
doubt special messenger would have been
dispatched to the America Embassy, desi.
ring Mr. Dallas and his friend al once 10 ap.
pear before her Majesty, no matter in what
attire, and receive from her own lips an ex.
preston Of regret that The arrangements OF
The Palace should have made il necessary for
SH Edward Gust to Interfere with their sp.
proach. To say that Mr.. Dallas was in
pei, or TO declare that the English monarch
was iosuIled, is only piece of that raviug
ahsurdity which such an organ as The Times
newspaper alone can perpelrate, and we
should not think it our duty 10 take notice OF
il were it not from deep and sincere con.
viction that The Times helps greatly 10 form
public opinion in England, and is regarded
by The Americans as an expression of Eng.
lish sentiment.
After all, The affair thus magnifed into
such serious proportions, was mere Incl
dent of The day involving nothing beyond
little idle gossip al the clubs, and entire
meaningless, except as an indication of the
force OF habit and custom.
