THE YOUNG QUEEN lvIoToRIA).
The king died at twenty minutes after
two yesterday morning; the young queen
met the council at KensingtOn palace at
eleven. Never was anything like the
drst impression she produced, or the
chorus OF praise and admiration which
10 raised about her manner and behavior
and certainly not without justice. 1t
vas very extraordinary, and something
far beyond what was looked for. Her
Extreme youth and inexperience, and
ignorance OF the world concerning her,
naturally excited intense curiosity to see
how she would act ON this trying or
casiou. The doors were thrown open
and the queen entered, accompanied by
her two uncles, who advanced 10 meet
Ter. She bowed to the lords, took her
seat and then read her speech in a clear,
destined and audible voice and without
any appearance of fear or embarrass
ment. She was quite plainly dressed
and in mourning After she had read her
speech the privy councillors were sworn,

She kissed them both, and rose from her
chair and moved toward the duke of
sussex, who was farthest from her and

watched her when Melbourne and the
ministers and the duke of Wellington
and Peel approached her. She went
through the whole ceremony, OCCASION
ally looking at Melbourne for instructions
when she had any doubt what to do,
which hardly ever occurred, and with
perfect calmness and self possession, but
At the same time with perfect mOdesty
and prOpTiety, particularly Interesting
and ingratiating. The young queen,
who might we'll be either dismayed or
COMPOUNDED with the grandeur and
novelty of her situation, seemed neither
the one nor the other, and behaved with
deoorum and propriety beyond her
years, and with all the sedateness and
iignity, the want of which was so con-
-picu0us in her uncle.
