t Or Court.
UNHAPPILY, we have nothing to record this week but the illness of the Queen an j
d unior members of the Royal Family. It is believed that her Majesty had sickened of the measles before she left town on Saturday last, but that did not prevent her from carrying out her intention of start- ing for Osborne. Accompanied by Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales, she departed from Buckingham Palace about half-past one and arrived at Osborne about twenty minutes to six ; crossing from Gosport in the Fairy, under Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence.
The first bulletin was issued by Sir James Clark on Wednesday morn- ing. We gather from that and succeeding bulletins that the eruption appeared slightly on Tuesday afternoon, was accompanied by much cough during the night, and did not come well out until Wednesday morning ; that her Majesty had "no symptom beyond those which usu- ally accompany the disorder" ; that the subsequent progress of the dis- ease was satisfactory ; abating towards Thursday. On that day, how- ever, Sir Henry Holland was dulled in. The following bulletin was issued On Friday morning.
" Osborne, Friday Morning, July 22, Nine o'clock. "The Queen has had a good night, and the marked abatement of every symptom this morning is such as to indicate her Majesty's approaching con- valescence.
" JADES CLANK, M.D. HENRY HOLLAND, M.D." The Princess Royal and the Princess Alice have passed favourably through the same elisease.
The Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred are at Osborne.
The Duchess of Kent and Prince Ernest Leiningen arrived at Osborne on Thursday, on a visit to the Queen.
