Yesterday November 80 says London journal,
the Queen did graceful act OF courtesy III visiting
the Empress Eugene al Chs!ehurst. Her Majesty
has thus added her name to the long list OF those
who have already paid their respects to the devoted
vile of Napoleon the Third.
Some persons fancy that the visit had political
significance and denoted the leanlngs OF sentiment
OF the English Court But The compliment Indicates
no more than inc sympathy when inehipsr Oh i,,e
family OF s0vereigns naturally extends TO an eXied
sister. Among the things which the Empress most
deeply regrets having LETT behind her, in the hurry
OF her departure IRON Paris, was photograph

which contained the royal donors autograph and
selection Of interesting portraits Hearing OF the
loss, the Queen Immediately gave orders for the
preparation OF another album which will take the
place at Chslehurst OF that which has been lost; the
Inscription and the cdTtes de DSife being az nearly
as possible the came as those which impaired 50
