On the 23th of June last she celebrated the 40th anniver sary of her coronation. She succeed ed to the crc.vn on the 20th of July, 1837, but was not crowned for neatly a year afterwards. Egbert, the first king of all England, ascended the throne in 827, exactly 1,010 .years be fore Queen Victoria's accession, and now as though England had not per plexity enough with wars to the east of her, wars to the south of her, and "over-production" at home, someone has set an impertinent interrogation point after the Queen's legitimate title to the throne. The argument is as follews: Francis V, of Modem, head of the house of Stuart, had one brother, Ferdinand, and two sisters, Maria Theresa and Mary Beatrice. Ferdinand married a daughter of the Archduke Joseph, of Austria, Pala tine of Hungary, and died in 1S49, leaving an only child, six months old. That child is now the Archduchess Maria Theresa; of Austria-Este, who was married February 20, 1SG8, to Prince Louis, of Bavaria. The oldest child of this marriage, Prince Rup jrecht, of P.avaria, born at Munich, May 18, 1SG9, is, therefore, now the direct male representative of the royal line of Stuart, and would be the heir to the throne, if the Salique law ex isted for that house. It cUkss not, and therefore, the Archduchess Maria The resa, spending her summers quietly on the green shores of lake Constance, has the "divine right" to the throne of England, and the Counters Balmo ral, diving around among the Italian j lakes, would perhaps be doing the fair thing, if she would preserve her in cognito for the rest of her life. If Maria Theiesa should die, the crown of England would still belong to some of the sisters and cousins resulting .from the marriage of Mary Beatrice, youngest sister of Francis V, of Mo dena aforesaid, with Don Carlos IV, of Spain. She has two children, Don Carlos V, and Don Alphonso. Ac cording to this, when we were making much of Don Carlos in this country a few years ago because lie was a pos r .Kible king of Spain, we ought to have made something of him for a possible king of England. However, so many lives stand between him and the right to the throne, to say nothing of the actual occupation of it by the Guelph family, that Don Carlos undoubtedly looks on his English chances as a cas tle in Spain, which will not be apt to prove inhabitable. Provisions in England. Lloyds Lviulon A'cias. . The pressure of the bard times is leadinir to a erv for cheap food, and some curious facts are coming out as to the quantit' of American meat that is sent over here and sold as English at high prices. C'A Shipmaster" states that bis ship was supplied at Boston last Christ mas with the follewing: Beef (very superior) 11?V dolls, per bar rel ofikH) lb., equal to-4Ks., not quite 3d. er ih. Pork, 10 dolls, per barrel, equal to 42s.. or 2d. per lb.. Hams, fresh cured, 8 rents, or-hl. per lb. Baeon, fresh cured, .S3-' cents, or -J3d. Ier ft. Ever7- steamer that arrives from Boston, he says, brings from 50 to 200 tons to England, and one half the ham and bacon sold in the manufacturing towns in the north is American. Another correspon dent complains of the London batchers, who keep up the enor mously high price of meat, not withstanding that there has been a fall of from Id. to l-.j-d. per pound both in live and dead market. At this time last year the price of beef in the Metropolitan market was Gs. a stone of eight pounds; and for mam weeks past it has never reached higher than 5s. 4d.; yet the conrumer receives not the slio-htest benefit from the reduc tion. Sheep have also been cheap er, though not to so great an extent. A little touch of co-operation is needed to bring prices to their proper level. A Female Crusoe- The San Francisco Call contains an interesting account of an Indian wnnvm whn wic irrifVnrlv nlvnifl woman wno was acciGinti aoanu- oned on ban A lcolas island, oil i 4. r 4.1 - it the coast of southern California. t aiul snont IS voars nlniio thorn I,l i fore she was rescued. The fact of her existence was discovered by a ' i , p i i i i man who wont from the mainland ; to hunt for otters, and who found j lootprints sunk deeply m the srround. He was unable to follow up these indications for nearly l , f .- ! mree veare, wneii one vl :i pariv j who accompanied him came siul ilenly upon the object of their search. She was in a small circu lar enclosure made of brush-wood, about live feet liiirli and six feet in diameter. She was clothed with a pirment made of skins of the shajr, a species of duck that can neither walk nor fly. This garment reach- d almost to her ankles when she j , ,. . . I stood erect hue was sitting- cross-1 leirjrpd skinning- seal -blubber with a rude knife made of a piece of hoop iron driven into a piece of wood. There was no covering on her head, except a thick matted mass of hair, of a yellowish brown color, probably owing to exposure to the sun and weather: it was, in short, as if the ends had rotted off. There were some wild dogs on the island, a few of which kept near her, and seemed to regard her as a mistress. She had lived on a i-litifr vrtmiiltliiifr P'lhlvimt r?iliifl I bv Californians vain santo and a i root known nscreomttc alsoblubber of the various kind of seals, &c. She had a rude apparatus for catch ing shell-fish, and strong fishing lines made of seal sinews, which seemed to indicate that she fished in the ocean. The expression of her face was pleasing, her features were regular, her complexion much fairer and her form more symmc tcricai than that of the Indan wo - . .... i men on the adjoining mainland, j Some suspect that she belonged to a tribe much further north. She could not understand anything said to her in any of the Indian dialects of south California, but she had a wonderful capacity for conversing by signs. She retained all her teeth, but they were worn low, supposed to be due to her chewing tough and hard articles of food. Her age appeared to be fifty years. She bowed to all who came near, greeting them with a smile. She accompanied her discoverers to their vessel, but her conduct at once convinced them that she re tained the virtue of female mod esty. She showed singular dex tentv in making water vessels from grass and a&phaltum, a sub stance which is plentiful both on the island and mainland. She seemed to recognise various appli ances of civilization. She died about seven weeks after reaching the mainland, partly from dysen tery, brought on by eating fruits and vegetables. Padre Gonzalez, the. superior of the mission at Santa Barbara, has sent her dress of shagskins and her basket and im plements to Rome, to the museum of the Propaganda. Senator Slator's Sill. Portland Commercial Jleporter. The attitude of the Oregonian on Senator Slaters bill, looking to protection against Chinese slavery, does not meet with the approval of the mass; indeed it has few if any supporters outside of a few bigoted, narrow-minded fanatics, who never looked at a subject from a broad standpoint. Our section is cursed by the hoards that is here, and which continues to come. We have tried in vari ous ways to obtain relief, but so far failed, and now apparently a way is opened up, and instead of claiming friends to the poorer and middle class of whites, giving it a support or else condemning it on good substantial constitutional grounds, the journal in question condemns the bill in an evasiove incoherent manner which docs not contain a sentence of argument. As the leading journal in the new northwest the Oregonian should try and reflect public opinion or else adduce good reason why pub lic opinion is wrong.
