MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 1858.

Of all the Sovereigns that have sat upon the
throne of England since the period of the Reforma-
ton, Queen VICTORIA is the most nomadIc She
may be said, in point of fact to have no liked
residence but to take delight in moving from place
to Mace The sluggish German GEORGES were
content to oscillate between Windsor and London
except the last and worst of the four, who extended
his peregrinations to Brighton. The wanderlngs
of WILLIAM ". terminated with his career as a
midshipman; those of VICTORIA commenced, if not
with her ascension to the throne, yet, certainly,
within a year after her marriage. AT one Tune,
we learn from the Court Journal that Her Majesty
is at her marine residence in the Isle of Wlght-a
little later, we find her at Bamoral in the high
lands of Scotands next, we are informed, that
she is at Windsor or at Buckingham Palace, or
that she has consented to become the guest of
LOUIS NAPOLEON at Paris, or that she is at Cher
bourg or on n visit to the Princess FREDERICK
WILLIAM at Berlin. This rowing disposition of the
English Queen appears to have led our Canadian
neighbors to hope that, with proper solicitation,
she might be induced to cross the Atlantic TO re-
ceiye the homage of the loyal provincials, and to
grace with her presence the industrial exhibition to
be held at Toronto on the first of October next.
The London journals discuss with good deal of
humor the merits of the petition, and applaud the
Loyalty that prompted it. They refer also to a
suggestion made by one of the New York papers,
that the Queen should pay visit at the same time
to cher republican cousins across the border
"Withn these few weeks says the London Times,
''the Americans-both Canadians and Statesmen
hcn al
''head, and the latter are decidedly of the opinion
''that the time is favorable for this novel flight of
"royalty.' The Times has not the slightest doubt
that a royal visit to America would be attended
with the most triumphant and unprecedented sue
cess 'No people," adds that journal, sarcastically,
''are so attracted by royalty as Republicans, and
sit is perfectly possible that even the genuine
f1oyalty of our own Coloniss might be altogether
''outdone by the cxuberant transports of de-
mocracy." 1t concludes, however, by declaring
that the project is not at all feasibe-that if Berlin
lis far away for a Queen, though not too
'flr for mother, Montreal and New York are
further still, and, in spite of the telegraph there
lis stormy ocean between us and them" The
London Standard after quoting the Canadian
petition, and its boisterous endorsement by one
Of our New York contemporaries, including the
offer to show Her Majesty call our institutions,
''and to welcome her with adermanic honors to
''the City Hall" ironically remarks, that 'after
''this overpowering display of the tender attach
''ment of Her Majestys transatlantic cousins to
cher royal person, the decorous and loyal Ian
''guage of the Toronto petition appears feeble and
"spiritless. With all their fidelity and allegiance"
adds the Standard ''the loyal Canadians have yet
''to rise to the transcendental height of argument
Calculated to give full expression to Yankee
reverence and affection for Queen VICTORIA"
The Liverpool Mercury argues the matter serious
ly refers to the offer of a reception in New York,
''such as never greeted monarch before and asks
"why should not the Queen for once in her life
stake a peep at her colonial jewels? Even visit
ITO New York, absurd as it may seem at the first
''blush, might be as effective in consolidating
''the peace of the world as a visit to Cherbourg or
"Berlin." The Liverpool Times has no doubt
that if the invitation were accepted, ut would
"dilfuse general feeling Of joy, not only in Cam
''ada, but throughout all the British possessions
'of North American and that if she were to
cross the border and look in upon the people of
the Great Republic, "she would meet with re-
''ception hardly less enthusiastic" But alas for
the vanity of human wishes, neither Queen VIC
ToRTA nor the PRINCE of WALES, nor any other
member of the royal family, will consent to brave
the dangers of the Atlantic to crafty the loyalty
of the Canadians, by inaugurating the Crystal
Palace at Toronto, Notwithstanding the additional
temptation that is held out to them to do so by
the promise of an ovation in Gotham, "aldermanic
honors' and sight of call our Institutions" That
the presence of Queen VICTORIA, both in Canada
and the UNITED STATES, would be hailed with
enthusiasm, we have every reason to believe, but
we doubt very much whether the 'Royal Pro-
gress" would prove quite as gratifying to the
royal parsonage as it would, in all probability be
TO the sovereign people, assembled to witness the
one and to welcome the other Nor, even after
the municipal authorities of New York had shown
Her Majesty ''al our institutions" and had
Toasted Her Majesty they toasted aforetime Kos
sUTH and the Turkish Admiral, are we quite
certain that Comptroller FLAGG would not again
step forward, and question the 'legalty'' of well
coming the Queen with adermanic honors," by
fatty refusing to foot the bills?
