1t was Yesterday Announced under our

esIimable and yirtuous consort of Queen
Victoria, died on the 18th of the present
month. The intelligence was as unexPect-
ed in this country rs il will be desolati1g
to the home of the Exalted Lady who is
held in highest respect not only nmoug her
subjects, bnt wherever she is known, for
those qualities which equally adorn the
public and the private station. but which,
lin her case, have been made especially
conspicuous hy the peculiar felicity allot-
ted 10 her under Providence in the relations
of wife aud mother, rs well as in those
which. she su>taips as the honured Queen
of loyal people.
Called as she now Is to Sit In the snadoW :,
of great affection, she will be attended
by the sympathies OF millions in our own
country who but few months ago found
pride and pleasure in rendering to her ED
est son the cordial civilities which were
meant no less in tonnage to The virtues OF
