The Queen of Spain.-A Madrid correspondent thus describes Queen Isabel:

She will alight presently, and walk about in the crowd like any one else.- There! did you ever see such a fine tall woman of nineteen? She is accompanied by an elderly lady and a couple of servants. There is no crowding or staring; the people allow her to pass through, standing aside and taking off their hats. She wears the mantilla. And gracefully does she walk along; her countenance pale, but interesting; dress plain, but neat. All the other ladies are rather over dressed.
