"Royalty in the Republic'' A Queen
Approaching.

by the smiles OF royalty We feel authorized
to announce TO our readers that within few
DAYS II. R. II. EMMA, Dowager Queen OF Homo
lulu, Hawaii, Sandwich, and ten other ISLANDS,
who has $4,000 subjects, and lots OF bananas,
yams, tea, coffee, cotton, and tobacco who was
born near the spot where Captain Cook was
killed IN l779, will arrive in Philadelphia. ac
companed by her suite, on her way to Washing
ton. Her Royal Highness is a widow, perfectly
eligible 80 far as her connections are con.
cerned, is good Episcopalian, and mourns but
slightly for her revered husband his late
Majesty, with the honorable and euphonious
name OF KAMEHAMEHA w. Her arrival in New
York has given grand chance to the simon
pure and unadulterated Jeukinses, an we doubt
not, from the style of the gushing article in the
World, that the identical and indefatigable
gentleman who endeavored to steal the Prince
of Wales shoes has been once more secured to
follow the vaearies of royalty. OF his account
we must say that it is all "demnition fne." We
are told at first only of the ceremonial of the
arrival, but gradually warming up with his sub
iect the writer dlates in this letter on interest
ing details, which are esteemed so piquant by
ladies OF doubtful aye, and men whose sex was
a mistake. We can imagine the gusto with

such gooundndS on the subject of particulars.
We would have supposed that it was written as
a satire, did not the grave tone of the article
forb d such conclusion.
We cannot resist the temptation of trans
ferrng TO our columns few OF these choice
dainties:-
"A magnificent barouche and pair of bays
was in readiness at the entrance on Eighth
street to take her Majesty and suite to the Cen.
tra Park. The driver, a handsome lad of nine.
teen or thereabouts, who conti1ed to our re.
porter his determination never to wear livery
was tickling the horses tails in an innocent
manner when her Majesty came down the steps
OF the hotel. One of the hotel waters stood at
the door OF the baroucue, with the knob IN his
grasp, and swung the door ooen and bowed low
at the approach of her Majesty. Tue driver
snapped his wnip and turned his horses heads
into Fifth avenue, en- route to the Ctatral Park"
Would that our poor eyes could have feasted
on such legal sight The waiter with his low
bow, the lad who tickled the tails of the mag
nlfcent bays, the door knob which was grasped.
"Oh, it was sight we'll worth a .ripto see."
But further on yet more OF the secrets are re-
vealed. The reporter for the World. probably
by making love 70 the dark waitress and getting
himself concealed in the kitchen cupboard, was
actually able to see what bill of fare was fur.

dishes when they returned revealed those to
which her Royal Highness was most partial The
result of this investigation is given with the ex.
actitude of chemical analysis.
DINNER.
cat a little before six O'Clock Queen EMMA and
suite returned from their drive in the PARK,
having attracted much notice from the hdbitlteS,
and on reaching The hotel proceeded 10 dress
tor dinner Her Majesty did not dine at the
guests table, however, but dined in private with
MAJOR HOPKINS and the Honorable Miss SPURGIN,
lady III waiting. Her Majesty partook heartily
OF 'gumbO SOUP roast chicken, green peas,
succotash, and all the other delacacies of the
season. After dinner the Queen and suite paid
visit to place OF anu, ,ement."
This report ii true as Of course it is exhibits
culpable, we may add criminal negligence on
the part of the United States officials, which
might entail upon our country once more the
horrors of war. The Queen is the guest of the
United States. all her bills are paid by the
United States, and public officials, of course
order her meals. Knowing as they did the pre-
sence of cholera in New York, and probably
guessing the pencbant OF her Majesty for green
peas, conspiracy, it would seem, was formed
Green peas were placed before II. R. H.,
and the life of the Do wager endangered
in order to crafty morbid Epicurean
taste. Such recklessness is too horrible
to be calmly contemplated. "Gumbo SOUP" il
well seasoned might have been allowed. Roast
chicken also was harmless; but "green peas"
ana especially "succotash," is too abominable to
be tolerated. Should her Majesty be injured
by the negligence of the officials, and should the
cholera thus secure right regal victim, and
should the reigning King of Hawaii, his most
gracious Majesty KAMEHAMEHA V, demand the
offender, we hope that all diplomatic complica-
| tion will be avoided, and Messrs. 0DELL, WAKE
MAN, and Chiffon be handed over to be punished
as the descendants Of the roasters of Captain
Cook may see fit. They deserve no mercy; and
should his gracious Majesty see fit to cut off
their ears, and compel them to dine on their
own auricular appendages, no one will sympa.
thize with their misfortune
We have said that it is not improbable that
| Queen EMMA may visit our city. If she does, we
| hope our people will give her fitting reception.
We would suggest a dejeuner at the League
! House, and as We have not the cholera in our
midst, we might so far indulge her Highness as
to allow succatash, but not green peas. We
| at least shall not have her death on our hands,
| Her next visit will be to Massachusetts where
| she will be under the especial care of Governor
BULLOCK. She will there have an opportunity
of tasting chowder, ana witnessing how it is
made; also, OF hearing the grand organ, and, as
she is High'Church, we hope that some one will
| perform Gloria in ErcetSis in Hawaiian. Thence
| to Niagara Falls, and back to New York taking
in our city on the way to Washington. When
she comes let us be careful not to be found like
