cannot be neglected without serious
injury to the public interests.
"The Queen will, however, do what

search for the hidden treasure. Several hun

brought to light, and the excitement waxed
warmer in proportion'to the success. Some

to prove that it extended over the whole

people were deceived and still hoped, was
that they judged from ordinary appearances,
which rcquently proved deceptive, after

winter, at one dash, killed the roots Of the
wheat by actually freezing them. The wea

The roots were tender, exposed, and grow

expressed it, that the horses sweat in the
stables The wind was blowing strong from
east-southseast, and the warm rain about
dark, poured down in food. This aided
in exposing the roots 10 the air. At this
time .hero was coming from the north west
a storm ot cold and snow, more intense in
its character and greater in its Dimensions
than often occurs. These two storms faced
each other, and kept the lines OF separation

weight OF cold got the mastery, it was less
than an hour, when its whole intensity
struck every tender tree and root with al
most instant death. In our whole life we
could only recollect one or two similar in

wheat k,lled-lrozen. and declined to put

F ON the New York Express.
In the London Times of the 9th,
appears the annexed remarkable COM
munication, which, by unanimous as
sent is attributed to Queen Victoria.
This communication has excited great
attention, not less on account of the
high position of the writer than be-
cause of the sentiments to which she
gives utterance. 1t is looked upon as
a direct reply to certain articles in the
English journals, relative to her Ma
jesty's disappearance from public life
now, only temporary-and to the
course which she has marked out for
herself in the future. Some of the
passages (says the Liverpool Times)
are inexpressibly touching and beauti-
full, and it reads more like an appeal
to the sympathy of her censors than
an impeachment Of their reasoning.
t. is, moreover, the first instance in
English history in which the occupant
of the Throne has held direct inter-
courte with the public press of the
country:

quent expression in the newspapers,
that the Queen is about to resume the
place in society which she occupied
before her great affection: that is, she
is about again to hold levees and draw
ing.rooms in person, and to appear as
before at court balls, concerts, &c.
This idea cannot be too explicitly con-
tradcted. n, .u.a
"The Queen heartily appreciates the
desire of her subjects to see her, aad
whatever she can do to crafty them In
this loyal and affectonate wish she will
do. Whenever any real object is to
be attained by her appearing on pubs
lic occasions, any national interest to
be promoted. or anything to be en-
couraged which is for the good of her
people, her Majesty will not shrink,
as she has not shrunk, from any per
sonal sacrifice or exertion, however
painful. ''''2
