The Queen, accompanied by the Princess Hohenlohe, drove through several of our principal streets on Tuesday last. Of course no demonstration was made, as the visit was strictly private. We noticed one or two very silly persons, however, who would obtrude themselves upon their Royal attention, and their vanity was flattered by gracious bows.

To use a paradox, there is nothing moving, but stagnation; and until the weather greatly improves we anticipate no change for the better.
