Of her behavior in seG;ng at Balnoral, after the

She wouldn't answer kilograms from ministers;

My ssn noble " acquaintance (who, by the by, is
as insignificant, wea2en, modest an individual
as you ever set eyes on) has just explained to mc
tie mystery OF all her Majestys delay at that crisis
Of affairs. It appears that the Princess of Wales
had been doing something that the Queen didn't
like; so her Majesty proceeded to give her girlish
daughter-in-laW q sound lecture. This lrrltated
the ire Of the Prince Of Wales, who was BY, and
who loves his wife as much as he diskes his royal
mamma; and the result was q very cloud quarrel
between the sovereign and the heir apparent
When the Queen gets into such a state, she be-
comes obstinate, and, being IL 's extremely lima
tured, abe only left .Balmoral VIII. the loud COM
plants in The newspapers proved to her how Sc
nously public opinion was offended at her delay.
The Queen, it seems, is Liberal, while the Prince
Of Wales is strong Tory that is usually the case,
you know, with these royal people-the heir Is the
most to keep Lord Russell in power-only that
noble reformer wouldn't stay; good thing, per-
haps, for the relations between England and
America, for Lord Russell is the most impudent OF
all diplomatists living OF dead.
Another matter greatly disturbs the good and
loyal subjects Of England, and that is the inti-
macy between the Duke Of st. Adams and the
Prince of Wales. The Duke Of st. Albans is
has succeeded, in the course Of his short but
eventful lfe in getting up one of the most notori-
ous regulations in Europe. His character is so
bad that, with very high rank and great wealth. he
not tolerated In the respectable QT1StOcratlc
society Of London. He began his career by get
ting into all sorts Of scrapes at Oxford in which
city he used to appear, with greater regularity in
the police court than ut the college chapel, and
from which University he was finally expelled in
disgrace: Since then he has been the hero Of in
Vulnerable adventures on the Continent, scandal
GUS and otherwise, is well akpown in every gam
bling house and hrothel, and police court Of Paris,
and is as accomplished villain, for young man,
as yo1 can find in many a day. At Oxford,
one day, while he was Jet in his teens,
three different young women appeared in
court against him, with charges of Sc
duction. Since then he has matured in
every species Of dissipation, and is as well known
to the London police as any long-fngered Jack
from Billingsgate. And this is the most intimate
friend, companion, and confdant of the neir to the
British throne: They are constantly seen togeth-
er- often go arm-in-arm together alone o. lights
(and where they go to is hardly mystery. St.
Abans stays by the week at Marlborough House,
and Wales regularly reciprocates by visiting the
Duke at his house-and they are In every way,
sshand and glove" Not only this, the Duke of ST.
Adams is the intimate of the Princess as we'll as
the Prince of Wales, and is often seen riding with
her alone in the parks. It is, naturally n,et5er
Of uEeasiness to the English, that so graceless
reprobate should be so familiar with their future
Queen, who is quite too giddy 1poW to suit their
staid tastes, and who is vast IT, imprudent in her
association with this noble IalEe.
Thus we see the Pfinco Of Males and his fair
wife going in the sene path that George the Fourth
OF dsgraceful memory, trod, and We may look for
ward to anot very promising reign, when another
Tory and dissolute King ascends the British
throne.
