Though, since the death of the Prince Consort the late Queca has always lived in retirement varied but little by appearances in public and at Court ceremonies, the public has been fully aware all the time of the deep interest which she took in the welfare of her people, and they have loved her accordingly with an affection which has been accorded to no other British sovereign.

The first tidings of Her Majesty's ill-health were conveyed by a special telegram from our London correspondeat, dated the 18th inst., which spoke of disquieting rumours about the Queen. REUTER's first message of the same date mentioned numerous reports con- cerning her illness and the summoning to Osborne of two physicians.
