The Queen and her sister honoured the Italian Opera with their presence last night. The Court chronicler is careful to inform us, that her Majesty occupied "the fifth box from the stage, on the first tier." Sit where she like, Queen Adelaide will always be in the first box ; and, what is better, she has the happy art of always placing herself in the right one.
