hat, found himself "all Of chill u when
the affair was finished.
The Queen is thoroughly wonanly i'll the
tenacity and variety Of her prejudiccs. She
has never enjoyed London pageant since
the multitude hooted her husband, about the
time Of the Crmean war. The notion got out
that he was making himself medu1esome, and
he was lampooned and decrled numerically.
Lord Patmerston had something to do with
the popular notion. lie never forgave the
Prince for the sharp letter sent him while he
was Foreign Minister requiring him to sub
nit to the Queen all dispatches that
left the Foreign Office and threaten
ing him with dismissal if lie neglected
this command. He did neglect it, and Lord
Russell, the Prime Minister, was forced to
drop him. lie had his revenge, but at the
expense of the Liberal party, for the Queen
was compelled to make the jaunty and iude
pendent lrishman Prime Minister, AND she
has deteStetl the nlnle uf Liberal ever since.
She had good deal to endure from this
plucky statesman. III 1854, when her kills
men, the Prnssians, were thrasfling the
Danes, news WAS received i'll the Commons
been captured by the Danes. There was a
frantic uutburst Of enthusiasm, the House
breaking into wild cheers. The Queen sent for
Painlerstun and demonstrated, declaring that
if she were to be thus inSulttf She would gU
to Prussia and remain until the conclusion Ut
the war. Instead Of trylng to pIacate the
royal wrath, as courtter would have done,
Palmerston responded frankly: IF your
Majesty should put such Il project into ext
curion the house Of Hanover would never
reign another day in this island, such is the
intensity Of your subjects feeling" The
Queen never alluded to the subject again, but
sine barely tolerated the Liberal Minister, alld
never stroye to conceal ler aversion for his
party.
Apropos the Queens tyranny in dress,-no
woman with low neck or short sleeves is ever
admitted Il second time to her presence,-the
joke Of London is her parslmony. This trait
