WE have not a favourable report to make of the state of their Majesties' health this week. The King is suffering from an attack of the gout in one of his legs, and the Queen has bad a bad cold. Mr. Newton is taking a miniature likeness of the King, and the Queen has sat to Sir Sir Martin Shee several times for a full-length portrait. With the ex- ception of Mr. and Mrs. Clitherow, who dined with their Majesties on Tuesday, the company at the Palace seems to have been confined to the Royal party and members of the Household.
