VISIT TO ENGLAND OF THE QUEEN Of HAWAII.
The visit of the Queen of Hawaii to England, Bays the ' World," nearly drove the Court officials frantic, as the troubles m connection witii her precedence were springing up overy day, and her Majesty was very tenacious of what she deems her rights as a sovereign. When the Queen reached the Alexandra Hotel, a Royal carriage was sent from Buckingham Palace fcr her use, but the servants wero not arrayed m Iheir scarlet liveiies, nnd Her Majesty desired that the " mistake " might be at once remedied, which was done. Then there was another " mistake " about tbe eßcort, and the Queen disdainfully rejected the Hussars who were sent, and demanded Household Cavalry, as die had learnt thai they always furnished tho escort for Royalties Then, at the Buckingham Palace entertainment tho Queen of Hawaii was ticketed to the King of tho Belgians for the supper procession, and when he declined to accept the arrangement she waß transferred to tho King of Saxony, who also refused to take m a " colored poieon," and finally the Duke ,of Edinburgh was obliged to walk with her. Tho Queen has now been compelled to rush homo with all speed, ob her husband is threatened with a revolution.
