Some emotion was excited in London on Tuesday by a
semi- official statement that the Queen was ill with sore-throat, and Sir W. Jenner was in attendance. Sovereigns are so seldom reported ill unless they are really ill, and the Queen is notori- ously so indifferent to cold, that some alarm was felt; but we are happy to say it was unfounded. The Queen has almost completely recovered, and if the frost at Windsor would abate but a little, would be ready for all her usual occupations.
