THE QUEEN DOWAGER.
We regret to say there was some ground for the ru-
moured indisposition of her Majesty Queen Adelaide.
Our readers, however, will be delighted to find from
the accompanying medical certificate that her Majesty is
now better :

" Sudbury Hall, Oct. 27, 1841.
" Her Majesty the Queen Dowager has been suffering
for the last few days from catarrhal affection, which is
now gradually giving way, and her Majesty is better this
morning. " D. DAVIES, M.D."

It is with great regret that we inform the public
that Mr. Thomas Philipps, a geneeman well known and
valued in the musical world, and for many years n favour-
ite singer at the leading theatres, met with a most shock-
ing accident, on Wednesday last, on the Birmingham and
Liverpool Grand Junction Railway, and which, we are
sorry to say, has ended in his death. We understand it
was purely accidental, caused entirely by his own impru-
dence, and that no blame whatever is attributable to the
railroad people. The melancholy accident occurred at
the Ilartfi)rd station, where he alighted for a few moments,
and was attempting to regain his seat when the train
moved onwards and threw him under the wheels, break-
ing both his legs and causing his death almost instanta-
neously. Mr. Philipps quitted the stage several years
ago, having secured for himself a comfortable independ-
ence, and had latterly devoted his time and talents in
giving lectures upon vocal music. lie was much appre-
ciated as a lecturer, and the Directors of most of the
literary and scientific institutions in the tuetropolis were
in the habit of availing themselves of his talents. As a
private individual he was much esteemed by a large
of acquaintance, who must bitterly lament so awful a ter-
mination to his earthly career
