Queen Victoria Thirty.FOur Years Ago.

When Queen Victoria delivered her
first speech from the throne, on the first
opening of Parliament, in 1888, after her
accession, the scene in the House of
Lords, as witnessed from tho Ambassa-
doris box, was extremely brilliant and
striking. AS the youthful Queen, then
still in her teens, advanced, there was
very slight nervousness perceptible in
her countenance, while the utmost still
ness prevailed through the House.
When about to ascend the steps of
the throne, her foot caught in
her roses, and she tripped slightly,
causing momentary sutfusion, but re.
gained her foothold in an instant, and
took her seat with perfect ease and self
possession, after which, in the sweetest
tone, she signifed to their lordships to
be seated. There was still a breathless
silence. AS the Queen proceeded with
her speech, the Premier, Viscount Mel
bourne, who stood by her side in his
rich court dress, holding upright the
sword OF state, and who was thought to
be sometimes P little absent, was OBJ.
served to follow, or rather anticipate
every word by the apparently involun-
tary movement of his lips, and and &C.
casional inclination of the head, from
side to side, as though keeping time.
Every word the young Queen uttered,
every syllable, fell from her in tones
that were captivating by their soitness
and musical sweetness, with the clearest
and most beautiful enumeration, while
her voice was modulated in the most
perfect manner, yet SO natural, without
tue slightest shade of attectation. When
the royal speech was concluded, an evil
dent and universal feeling of satisfac.
ton seemed to pervade the House, and
one OF the young men of the diplomatic
corps, whose eyes and ears had been
riveted to the throne, and who stood
near the writer, turned to a friend, ex.
claiming in suppressed whisper, while
bobbing his head with excitement,
pa,tutement bisn! The writer subse.
quently heard the young Queen an.
nounce from the throne, on a similar
occasion, her approaching marriage to
Prince Albert "a trying moment;
yet the announcement was made with
a mixture of real dignity and feminine
modesty, that commanded universal adj

French Courts.

of her sisters were dead, but one lately,

She stated to these around her that she
had been to the better land, and had
seen both her departed sisters, with
other friends; that it was a most beau
