THE QUEENS HEALTH.

We (Lice) have seen with regret the attacks on
the Queen, hued on her Majesty's absence from even.
ing 6ntertainments and on her brief residence in Lon-
don. Now the fact Is—and the more widely this fact
is known, and the more plainly it is stated, the better
—her Majesty is not physisally capable of bearing the
effects of crowded or over.heated rooms, or of prolonged
residence in London. The effort of entertaining in the
evening produou great and Immediate discomfort,
followed by sleeplessness or disturbed rest and severe
headache; and her Majesty rarely visits Buckingham
Palace without suffering in a similar manner. The pro.
feuiou wad readily, without our entering more fully
into so delicate • subject, understand the necessity for
her Majesty's medical advisers exercising the greatest
diligence to prevent the recurrencs of these symptoms.
It would appear as if some persons must forget that the
Queen is • lady nearly lit ty.three years of age, for they
, talk as if they expected her to possess the same m-
istakable physical vigour and nerve-power she exhibited
twenty years ego.
The Queen felt hermit so much better on Wednesday
that, aczompanied by Prince Leopold and Princess
Beatrioe. she left Windsor for Balmoral.
MAjoaby Ow advantage or fluu wonthor for
her journey to the North. Balmoral was reached
about half-put three on Thursday afternoon. Owing
to her resent Indisposition, the Qaeen did not pres_mt
herself to the crowds that had come from Brechin ..a
Montrose to see and welcome her.

The visit of her Majesty to the Duke and Duchess of
Argyll at Inverary, which was to have taken place on
Saturday next, the 26th instant, thres days after the
arrival of the Marqui. and Marchioness of Lorne, has
been Indefinitely postponed. A oommunioatlon was
received on Saturday by the Duke from Earl Granville
at Balmoral, expressing her Majesty's regret that owing
to the state other health she would not be able to come
on tbe day mentioned.

The statute of Sir James Outramon the Thames Eat •
bankment, was unveiled by Lord Halifax on August 17,
in the presence of • distinguished company.
Mr. Granville Leveson-Gower (L) and Mr. James
Watuey, jitur (C.), will contest East Surrey for the seat
vacant through the death of Mr. Charles Barton.
Golllo.—We may eongratulate ourselves upon the
fact that we are getting rid of our fools pretty rapidly
—in one direction, at all events. The last census taken
at Utah shows that, out of the 45,000 inhabitants of the
territory not born there, nearly half came from Great
Britain. The room of 20,000 madmen is decidedly
better than their company.
TEN!! ONL —Tbe Nora Maks Chronicle finds the
present anything but a dull season. It tells 111 of a

salmon weighing 2211b5, and had it conveyed to his
hotel, with the intention of dining on one-half of it. On
the salmon being opened it was discovered he had gorged
an eel, weighing shout 2i Ib. The eel was dissected, and
• lilb trout was brought to light. The trout was out
open. and inside were found eight minnows, making the
total catch of ten fish. Well done, thou Welsh paper;
but, why not have toned something in the minnows?
