The Queen has no private secretary, but her Majesty supplies
, athtte want of that convenient officer by making Lord MELBOURNE end to business. The Premier, and Lord PALMERSTON, seem lo be at Windsor the greater part of every week. In the morning fliey ride, in the evening they dine with her Majesty; and the [LATEST EDITION.] intervening hours are, of course, filled up with discussions on state affairs and lessons in queencraft. Poor Lord MELBOURNE! it must be dreary work to one so fond of relaxation, this dangling attendance on Royalty from morn to midnight. He would rather by half be at Pansanger. No doubt, it gives him an opportunity of strengthening his influence at Court : but let him beware— even to so shrewd and agreeable a person it may be worth while to recall the old saying, that too much intimacy breeds aversion. As to Lord PALMERSTON, that pink of punctilio, he is in his proper element : what wearies the pococurante Premier is easily gone through by him. He will never give offence—never think his Royal mistress exigeante. In the mean while, the clerks in the Foreign Office have a chance of comfort and regular meals.
