THE QUEEN is still at Osborne. She has, during the
past week, taken only one cruise in her yacht.
The Duchess of Kent, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenberg-Strelitz, and Prince Adolphus, Count Mensdorff, and Sir John Pakington have been on a visit to her Majesty. The Queen will give the Victoria Crosses that have not been before conferred to the officers and men now in England, upon Southsea Com- mon, on Monday next, at half-past four o'clock.
The Court newsman officially announces that it is the intention of the Queen and the Prince Consort to leave England upon a visit to the prince and Princess Frederick, at Potsdam. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort will leave England upon the 10th of August, and cross to Antwerp, from whence they will proceed by railway to Potsdam, sleep- ing one night on the journey. On account of the state of the health of the King of Prussia, this visit will be entirely of a private and domestic character, and no festivities or royal visits will take place.
