THE QUEEN’s LIFE OF HER
HUSBAND,

(Continued from our last)

THB QUBEN’S LETTER TO THE KING OF THE
‘* Windsor Castle, Oct. 15, 1839.
“Mr D st Uncre,—This letter will,
T am sure, give you pleasure, for you have
always taken so warm an interest in all
that concerns me. My mindis quiet made
up, and I told Albert this morning of it.
‘the warm affeotion he showed me on
learning this gave me bir pleasure. He
seems perfection, and I think that I have
‘the prospect of very great happiness be-
fore me. I love him wore than I can say,
and shall do everything in my power to
render this sacrifice (ior such in my opin-
ion it is) as smallas can. He seems to
have great fact, a very necessary thing in
his position. ‘hese last few days have
passed like a dream to me, and 1 am so
much bewildered by it all that I know
hardly how to write; but I do feel very
happy. It is absolutely necessary that
‘his determination of mine should be known
to no one else but yourself and uncle Er-
mest until after the meeting of Parliament,
aa it would be considered, otherwise, neg-
iectful on my part not to have assembled

Parliament at once to inform them of it.

**Lord Melbourne, whom I have of
course consulted about the whole affair,
quite approves my choice, and expresses
reat satis{action at this event, which he
thinks in every way highly desirable.

** Lord Melbourne has acted in this busi-
ness a3 he has always done towards me,
with the greatest kindness and affection.
We also think it better, and Albert quite
@pploves of it, that we should be married
very soon after Parliament meets, about
the beginning of February,

“Pray, dearest Uncle, forward these
two letters to Uncle Ernest, to whom I beg
you will enjoln strict secrecy, and explain
these details, which I have not time to do,
‘and to faithful Stockmar. I think you
*might tell Louise of it, but none of ‘her
family.

“+1 wish to keep the dear young gentle-
man here until the end of next month.
Ernest's sincere pleasure gives me great
delight. He does so adore dearest Albert.

“Hver dearest Uncle, your devoted
Biece, iV Bet

On the 16th January, 1849, the Queen
opened Parliament in person, and announ-
ced her intention to marry Prince Albert.
On the 10th of February this marriage took
place,

SHE YOUNG WIFE RESOLVES TO MAKE HER
HUSBAND UWAPry,

The following are the Queen’s own
words, quoted from her diary :— ** Oh, how
i did feel for my dearest, precious hus-
band at this moment! Father, brother,
friends, country—all has he left, and all
forme. God grant that I may be the hap-
Py person, the most happy person, to make
this dearest, blessed’ being happy and con-
tented! What is in my power to make him
happy I will do.”

THE FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE.

It must be admitted that constantly, un-
vstentatiously, and perseveringly as he
now gave himself up for the discharge ot
his new duties, he was exposed, almost
during the whole period of his lite in this
country, to much misconception and much
misrepresentation. Not for that, however,
did he for one moment relax in his efforts,
or allow his zeal to flag, in socking to pro-
mote all that was for the good of the
British people. His actions might be un-
understood, his opinions might be misrep-
resented (of which there was more than
one notable instance)—[Note by the
‘Queen : Especially at the commencement
of the Russian war]—but, supported by
his own conscious rectitude he still pur-
sued the even tenor ot his way. ‘The
principle on which he -always acted was
(to use his own noble words) ‘to sink his
own individual existence in that of his wife,
to aim at no power by himself or for him-
self, to shun all ostentation—to assume no
separate responsibility before the public”
but * making his position entirely a part
of the Queen's, continually and anxiously
to watch every part of the public businesss,
in order to be able to advise and assist her
at any moment in the multifarious and
difficult questions brought before hor—
sometimes political or social, or personal,
as the natural head of her family ; superin-
tendent of her household, manager of her
pa affairs, her sole confidential adviser

n politics, and only assistant in her com-
munications with the officers of the Gov-
ernment.” It was not, however, for some
time that the position as described above
was established. or the first year or two
the Prince was not, except on rare occa-
sions and by special invitation, present at
the interviews of the Queen with her Min-
isters. [Note by the Queen: But this was
not from any objections on their part.]
Though taking, the Queen says. ‘great
pains to inform himself abouteverything,”
and though Lord Melbourne expressed
much anxiety ‘that the Queen should tell
him and show him everything connected
with public affairs, he did not at this time

“take snuch part in the transaction ot’ busi-
ness,”

THE PRINUH ASSERTS AUTHORITY IN HIS
HOUSEHOLD.

Nor were there wanting those who would
gladly have kept him pertectly estranged
trom it, and not only so, but who would
have denied him, even in domestic cireles,
that authority which in private families
generally belongs to the husband, and
without which, it may be added, there
cannot be true comfort and happiness in
demestic life, The Prince himself easily
saw the necessity of his asserting that wu-
thority. ‘*In my home life,” he writes to
Prince Lowenstein, in May, 1840, ** I am
very happy and contented; but the difti-
culty of filling my place with the proper
dignity is, that [ am only the husband,
not the master in the house.” Fortunate-
ly, however for the country, and still more
fortunately for the happiness of the Royal |
couple themselves, things did not long re- |
main in this condition, ‘hanks to the
firmness, but at the same time gentlencss,
with which the Princo insisted on filling
his proper position as head of the family—
thanks also to the clear judgement and
right feeling of the Queen, as well as to
her singularly honest and straightforward
nature—but thanks, more than all, to the
mutual love and perfect confidence which
bound the Queen and Prince to each other,
it was impossible to keep up any separation

or difference of interests or duties between

them. 70 those who would urge upon the
Queen that, as Sovereign, she must be the head |
of the kouse and family, as well as of the!

State, and that her husband was, after all, | Osborne, and whistling to them in

but one of her subjects, her Majesty would re-

ly that SE HAD SOLEMNLY ENGAGED AT
at ABPAR TO ** OBEY,” AS WELL as TO)
**POVE AXD HONOUR ;” AND THIS BACRED |
OPRIGATION SHE COULD CONSENT
TO LIMIT NOR REFINE AWAY.

own peculiar long note, which they invari-

ably answer, i

note now without fancying she hears him,

and without the deepest, saddest emotion

NEITHER }At night he would stand on the bale
Osborne, listening

cated all foreign despatches to the Prince.

In August, 1540, he writes to his father:

* Victoria allows me to take much partin

foreign affairs, and [ think I have already

done same good, I always commit my
views to paper, and then communicate
them to Lord Melbourne. He seldom an-
swers me, but I have oiten had the satis-
fuction of seeing him act entirely in ac-
cordance with what I have said.” And
again, in April, 1841; ** All I can say
about my political position, is that I study
the politics of the day with great industry,
and resolutely hold myself aloof from all
parties. I take active interest in all na-

tional institutions and associations. 1

speak quite openly with the Ministers on

all subjects, so as to obtain information,
and meet on all sides with much kindness,

{ endeavor quietly to be of as much use to

Victoria in her position as [ ean.”

Slowly, but surely acting on that princi-
ple, did he establish his position; and so
entirely was it recognised by the Queen
herself, so unreservedly and confidingly
did she throw herself upon her husband's
support, relying in all questions of difi-
culty upon his judgment, and acting in all
things by his advice, that when suddenly
bereaved of that support her sense of the
loss which she had sustained as Queen
found expression in the pathetic words,
**that it would now be in tact, the begin-
ning of a new reign !”

Tur Queen Abanpons PotrricaL Parti-
ZANSHIP AT THE SUGGESTION OF THE
PRINCE AND LORD MELBOURNE.

The Queen, up to the period of her mar-
riage, had indulged strong feeling of
political partizanshkip, Amongst the lap-
py consequences of the marriage may be
included the gradual extinction of any such
feeling. ‘The Prince had already shown,
in the discussions and correspondence res-
pecting the formations of his household,
his own determination to stand clear trom
all politival parties, Lord Melbourne now,
most honorably to himseli, supported the
Prince in pressing the same course upon
the Queen. He told the Prince that he
thought the time was come when her
Majesty should have a general ‘ amnesty
for the Tories ;” and on being spoken to by
the Queen, to Whom the Prince had report-
ed what he had said, repeated that such
was his opinion. On another occasion,
the Queen records that Lord Melbourne,
speaking of the Prince, * said, loosing at
him with tears in his eyes, ‘There is an
amazing fecling for him—every one likes
him;’” and then adds—* ‘Then speaking
ot the Tories, against whom the Queen
was very irate, Lord Melbourne said * You
should now hold out the olive branch a
little,” ?

THE QUEEN FAILS TO OVERCOME A BAD

HABIT,

It is tantalising to hear that we almost
owe to the Queen and her husband the
abolitio. of a barbarous and ungallant
custom. At first ** the Queen tried to get
rid of the bad habit prevailing only in this
country, of the gentlemen remaining,
the ladies had lett, the dinine-room,
Lord Melbourne advised ag
the Prince himself thought it better, per-
haps, not to make any change,”

PRINCE ALBERTS IDEA OF THE SACRA-

MENT.

Easter of 1840 was spent at Windsor,
when the Queen and Prince took the Sacra-
ment together for the first time in St.
George’s Chapel. ** The Prince,” the
Queen says, ‘hada very strong fecline
about the solemnity of this act, and did not
like to appear in company either the even-
ing before or on the day on which he took
it, and he and the Queen almost always
dined alone on these occasions.”
PERSONAL HABITS OF THE PRINCE AND

His ENDEVOUR TO RAISE TRAE CHA-
RACTER OF THE CouRT.

From the moment of his establishment
in the English palace as husband of the
Queen, his object was to maintain, and, if
possible, even raise the character of the
Court, With this view he knew that it
was not cnough that his own conduct
should be in truth free from reproach—no
shadow of a shade of suspicion should by
possibility attach to it. He knew ut in
his position every action would be aned
—not always possibly in a friendly spirit;
that his goings out and comings in would
be watched, and that in every society,
however little disposed to be censorious
there would always be found some prone,
if an opening uffurded, lo exaggerate and
even to invent stories against him, and to
put an unchavritable coustruction on the
most innocent acts,” He, therefore, trom
the first, laid down strict, not to say severe,
rules, lor his own guidance. He imposed
a degree of constraint and selt-denial upon
his own movements, which could not have
been otherwise than irksome, had he hot
been sustained by a sense of the ady
which the Throne would derive from it.
He denied himself the pleasure—which, to
one so fond as he was of personally wittch-
ing and inspecting every improvement
that was in progress, would have been
very great—of walking at will about town,
Wherever he went, whether in a ent inge
or on horseback, he was accompanied by
his equerry. Ie paid no visits in general
socicty. Ilis visits were to the studio of
the artist, to museums of art or science, to
institutions for good and benevolent pur-
poses. Wherever a visit from him, or his
presence, could tend to advance the real
good of the people, there his horses might
be secn waiting; never atthe door of mere
fashion, S@andal itself could take no
liberty with his name. He loved to ride
through all the districts of London where
building and improvements were in pro-
gress, more especially when they were
such as would conduce to the health or
recreation of the working classes; and
few, ifany, knew so well, or took such an
interest as he did, in north, or south of the
great city—trom Victori’s Park to Bat-
20; trom the Regent's Park to the
Crystul Palace, and far beyond. He
would frequently return,” the Queen says,
‘*to lunchcon at a great pace, and wouttld
always come through the Queen's dressing
room, where she generally was at thattine,
with that same loving sinile with which he
always greeted her, telling her where he
had been, what new buildings he had seen,
what studios. &., he had visited. Riding
for mere riding suke he disliked, and said,
‘Is ennuyirt mich so, (It bores me 60),’”
PRINCE ALDERT'S LOVE OF THE COUNTRY
Tn reference to Prince Albert's enjoy-
ment of fresh, pure air, the Qucen writes
as follows:—This the Prince constantly
expressed on arriving at Osborne and
Balmoral, and on leaving London: “Tow
sweet it smells;” How delicious the airis!
one begins to breathe again!” And how
he delighted in the song of the birds, and
ot nightingales, listening for
them in the happy peaceful walks he used |
to take with the Queen jn the woods at,

Wreck or tue “Joun Witiiams.”-—
English papers just received, contain accounts
of the wreck of the missionary ship in the
South Sea Islands, One account concludes
as follows:

Immediately below us was the Johan Wil-
Wams erashing upon the coral as each sea
struck her. Her upper masts had broken off
and we kept well out of the way lest her low
heavy masts should come down. he lights
ofthe saloon were still burning, but not a
sound of anyone’s voice could be heard on
board; the natives shouted and we shouted,
but no reply came. While we were there the
darkness increased, and the rain camo in tor-
rents. This made us increasingly anxious
about those who were onboard. Ouranxiety
was at length relieved by seeing a rocket rise
up from the sea. ‘This was followed by the
burning of a blue light.—These informed us
that the boat had lett the ship, and gave us
some idea of their locality. After remaining
several hours near the wreck, watching the
sud work of destruction upon our beautiful
ship, we turned our back on this mournful
scene and returned to the mission pre
where our dear wives were anxiously aw
our arrival. While we had been away canoes
had been sent in search of boats. These
came back with the glad intelligence that all
lives were saved—that al) had left the ‘ship,
and thatthe boats were on their way to Alotf.

Several fires, most of them serious ones,
supposed to be of incendiary origin, have re-
ently occured in the city of Montreal. Not
long since they had a fire at the Methodist
Church in Dupre Line, followed by that of
Zion’s Church the same night, breaking out
before the Dupre Lane fire was extinguished.
Following these were the fire at St. Paul's
Church, Dorchester street, which most un-
questionably was of incendiary origin, and
that at Astell’s timber yard, in the rear of
Zion’s Church, and lastly, Middleton’s coal
oil stores, which conflagration destroyed 600,
000 gallons of oil and much property of other
descriptions. ‘The papers say there is no
doubt this destructive fire was the work of an
incendiary.

A Fortune rrom Apyrrrising.—The New

York Guzette states that Mr. Helmbold, of the
drug store under the Metropoliton Hotel, and
his beautiful wife, who are at the Union
flotel, Saratoga, ride in one of the finest
turn-outs there. Not many years ago he
started in business on $50. Ile has made the
art of advertising the study of his life, and
owes his success to printer’s Ink. ‘The first
year he came to New York, besides the great
amount he expended on other newspapers, he
paid $53,000 to three leading New York dailies,
Last year he expended ou newspapers $214,-
000 and over $100,000 on posters, pamphlets,
&e., knowing that he would thereby establish
a trade and reputation which would extend
through years, but not dreamicg that he
would make any money the sume year, So
quick and so sure, however, wre the returns
from judicious advertising that the receipts
for thut year exceeded his expenditure about
$15,000. Lhe more money a business man
expends in adyertising the more likely is he
to yet many foldin return—which nobody can
deny.
Sydney (Australia) advices to July Ist have
been received, A most devastating calamity
had visited the Colony. Five day’s rain had
flooded the country, and a five days’ gale had
dashed helpless wrecks on the coast. The
highest flood marks were 60 to 70 feet above
the ordinary level. Hundreds of houses were
swept away, and thousands of live stock des-
troyed. The crops were ruined and many
lives lost. One family of nine persons were
drowned, and in another case twelve persons
of the families of two brothers lost their lives,
ffundreds were rescued from the tops of trees,
hay stacks and roofs of houses. Numbers
were alinost starving and houseless and naked.
Subscriptions for their relief were flowing in,
and would do much to alleviate the distress .
Four schooners were wrecked, and several
seamen drowned.

A private letter from the capital of Mexico,
bearing date of the 27th July, contains the fol-
lowing with reference to the disposition of the
remains of the late Emperor Maximilian :—
* Mike known to the American people that
the Emperor was spat upon in his prison; that
his corpse was insulted during the eight days
they had it hung out naked by the neck for
public exhibition from the bannister ofa stair-
case inthe ex-church of the Capuchins. It
is now on yiew, under glass, for money, and
they are selling the hair of his head and beard.’
We do not remember having ever read any-
| thing more indicative of Mexican barbarity or
the savage spirit of revenge, than the above
extract, We could scarcely believe it pos-
sible, were it not that we have too many proofs
of Mexican atrocities. Should this turn out
authentic, surely the day of retribution ean-
not arrive an hour too soon.

but the House of Commons stood upon
its dignity and would not permit any
material alterations to be made. Their
Lordships were therefore compelled to
make a virtue of necessity, and ‘* caved
in.’ ‘They, however, succeeded in mak-
ing a few of what are called in England
‘three cornered constithencies.” Some
theorists in the Old Country thought it
hard that minorities should be altogether
unrepresented in Parliament, and they
hit upon this device of three cornered
constituencies to enable a minority of a
constituency if at all considerable to send
a representative to Parliament. There
are, it seems, eleven of such constituen-
cies created. The practical effect of
this ‘* improvement,” we think, will be
to give but one vote to the places so re-
presented instead of three. Suppose
two of the hon. members for Manchester
to vote on one side, and the minority
hon. member to vote on the other, as he
will be pretty sure todo. ‘The party to
which the tvo members belong can only
count one yote from Manchester, the vote
of the other being neutralized by the
vote of the minority man on the opposite
side of the house. But the town or
borough which sends but two members
to Parliament, though of far less impor-
tance, and these representing a much
smaller constituency, will, in the great
majority of cases, have two yotes in sup-
port of, or in opposition to the govern-
ment, and consequently the smaller place
will have double the influence of the
larger. ‘The franchise is now in Eng-
land very low indeed, Every rate pay-
ing householder in town has a vote, and
every lodger who pays ten pounds annu-
ally for his room or rooms. In the coun-
ties every man who holds bonds valued
at twelve pounds yearly has avote. We
have seen'no calculation as to the num-
ber of persons who will be admitted to
the franchise under the new Reform Bill,
but they cannot number much less than
two millions,

The Sheffield Trade’s Union Com-
mission has given in its Report. We
think that a death blow has been given
to the illegal proceedings of these organi-
zations. ‘The publicatien of the evidence

tyranny no matter by whom exercised.
It is not likely that the sturdy English
workmen will any longer tolerate the
tyranny of such scoundrels as Broadhead
and others of his class. It is somewhat
singular though that the members of the
Saw Grinder’s Union have refused to
expel Broadhead and Brokes, who,
were it not for the idemnity granted them
by the Commission, would ere this have
been apprehended, tried and hanged for
more than one deliberate cold-blooded
murder. If the artisan population of
Great Britain do not possess more cor-

power than the workmen of Sheffield, it
must be confessed that giving them a
voice in the councils of the nation is a
very havardous experiment indeed. Men
who will voluntarily associate with mur-
derers, and who justify their decds, are
not exactly the sort of men to be trusted
with political power.

The Abysinian barbarian has not yet
liberated the unfortunate people whom
he delights to torture. It is said that
their captivity is a most cruel one. The
captives have been plundered of every-
thing valuable, they are starved, and

even delicate ladies are bound with
chains. We see by a late telegram that

preparations are being made to attempt
their liberation by force. It isto be
hoped that the sufferings of the imprison-
ed Europeans will soon come to an end,
and that King Theodore will ere long
reap the well merited reward of his in-
iquity.

The European powers and newspapers
are making vain conjectures as to what
was said and done by the Emperors
of France and Austria at Salzburg,
Some represent the affair as a mere visit
of condolence, others imagine that mat-
ters of weighty importance involving the
destinies of more than oue European
state were discussed by the Emperors.
The growing power of Prussia is looked
pon with jealousy by both France and
Austria, and itis supposed that they will
join to prevent any further increase of
that power. There seems to be no ces-
sation in the preparations for war that
have been for some time going on in
lance and the other countrics named,

The Man of Mystery has been busy
making friends for himself.and his cause
this summer. No fewer than fifty-eight
illustrious persons have been entertained
by the Emperor of France this summer
in Paris. Forty-five of these have been
Sovereigns and Princes. Among these
have been ten Kings, three Queens, ,ten
Princesses, and six reigning mers.
Such a crowd of crowned heads has fnot
been seen together for many long yeirs

The only two European Sovercigns of
any “note who did not visit Paris were
the Queen of England and the Emperor
of Austria, As soon as their royal visi-
tors had left Paris, the Emperor paid a
visit to his cousin of Austria, and the
Empress went to see Ter Majesty Queen
Victoria. These visit may have boliti-
cal significance, y not. Kings

Englishmen are hearty haters of

England appears to be slowly travelling
towards a commercial crisis of which the
panic of last year was only the beginning.
Then there was no money to be had;
now there is plenty of money but want
of enterprise. Last year the Bank of
England raised the rate of discount to ten
per cent ; now they are glad to lend at
two per cent. There seemed to be no
confidence last year; this year there is
toomuch, Itis said that the people are
afraid to invest, notwithstanding that it
is a capital time for investors. It is said
that very miuch will depend on the har-
vest, after which trade may revive.

Tus Halifax Chronicle quoting largely
from an article of ours, assetts that the
Summerside Journal 1s a strong advocate
for Confederation. ‘The Hxpress, as in‘
duty bound, contradicts the Chronicle,and
declares that we are strong Anti-Con-
federate. ‘Vhis is an amusing illustration:
of the spirit of the press in Nova Scotia.
Whatever a Contederate newspaper states
es truth, an Anti-Confederate organ is
pretty sure to set down as a falsehood.
When an Anti declares a man to be’
able and honest, a Unionist is ready to
pronounce him an ass and a knave.
Anti argument is with the Unionist bunk-
um, sophistry, and what is sense to the
Confederate is utter nonsense to the
Anti-Confederate. Candor is a word
which the political controversialists of
Nova Scotia have banished from their
vocabulury. We hope that aiter the
election our friends of both parties in the
sister Province will cool down a littte.
We trust that when the heat of the eon-
test is past they will see that neither
party monopolise the ability and politica}
virtue of the whole community. One of
the great evils of the old regime was the
unnecessary heat and bitterness of politi-
cal contests. We must confess that we
cannot see that matters have mended
much in this respect in Nova Scotia
under the Dominion. But perhaps it is
too soon to look for fruit from so young
a plant. We hope and trust that when
the harvest time does come that there
will be a plentiful crop to reward the
labors of the husbandmen.

We have received the August number
of Blackwood's Mugazine. We have de-
rived much enjoyment anda great deal
of instruction trom reading it. ‘There
are two or three articles in it which are
well worth the price of a half dozen num-
bers. The Life and Letters of ** General
Winthrop” isa charming article. Those
entitled ** Phe Social ra of George IL”
comes irom a master’s hand. It gives a
graphic picture of the social state of
England previous to the reign of that
monarch, and enumerates the many and
wonderful improvements that were made
while he occupied the throne. ** Intem-
perance and Intolerance” will not please
our temperance friends, particularly the
advocates of prohibitive legislation, but
we think it would do some of them good
to read the article. It is always best to
hear what those on the other side have
to say for themselves. We were so well
pleased with the article on ‘* Maximilian’
that we intend to reproduce it in next
week's Journal. Our readers may ex.
pect a rich intellectual treat. We wish
that we could prevail on a goodly number
of them to subscribe and read this ex-
cellent periodical. We have no pecu-
niary interest whatever in extending its
circulation, but we would like to see our
fellow countrymen acquire a taste for
such literature as delights the most en-
lightened and the most fastidious class of
readers in the world.

very good. It has a steel plate engray-

two pictures are alone worth the price of
the Book, and then the purchaser will
have the latest fashions and a splendid
assortment of literature in the bargain.
