HER MAJESTY'S HEALTH.

(Bt Tileqbaph.— Piissß Association.. [PEB SAN FEANCIBCO MAIL AT AUCKLAND.] Miaa Emily Crawford contributed to Truth on 23rd March tho Brat public mem ion of Quoon Viotorin's serious condition. She writes that on arrival at Nioo railway station the Queen seemed unablo to raise hor head. One might have thought slio did not feel her feet nndor hor aa with tho assistance of servants she tried to dcaoond tUo sloping gangway from the train into the station. Ab is well known among thoso familiar wjih Court affairs, rheumatism of tbo knees has lately not only developed a complete loss of power of both loss, but extended to the back and arni3, and a fatal issue is feared almost at any timo. Princess Beatrioe, who is the Quoon's oonatant oompanion, baa of late been proeent at all interviews with Ministers, and is recognised in official oiroles as praotioally wielder of all royal prerogatives. It is well understood the Queen has willed in favour of her daughter the bnlk of her saviogs, believed to be .£1,750,000, with Osborno and Balmoral —both residences being the private property of her Royal mother. Thi rise in price of wool and wheat will no doubt be hailed with great satisfaction by everybody in New Zealand, and in an,, equal degree do all appreoiate the splendid quality of hams and baoon sold by jWardell^Broi, * Co.— Advt.
