NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Queen Wilhelmina. We are certain that the sympathy of the whole British nation will be extended to the young Queen of Holland in the misfortunes which have followed so quickly one upon another. Only a few days ago the youthful sovereign was making a brave struggle against typhoid fever, and now comes news that she has been prematurely confined and is brought to Death's door, while the hopes of her subjects of celebrating, the birth of an heir to the throne in September next are dashed to the ground. The second telegram puts forth some hope of recovery, and we carnestly trust that Queen WILHELMINA may shortly be restored to complete health and enjoy a long and glorious reign.
