Singularly enough, on the very day on whieb
thia account nppoared a contemporary published
a letter from tbc Queen to Mrs. Herbert most
honorable to the feelings of Her Majesty, and
calculated to soothe miseries and alleviate the
sufferings of her wounded soldiers and sailors.-
Tho Qneen request* to be furnished with de-
tails of tho wounded—more interesting to her
than to any one. Her majestv bogs that these
poor noblo men should bo told of ncr interest
and feeling for their sufferings, and hor admira-
tion of their oourage and heroism. She knows
tho value of her sympathy, and she is anxious
it may not be withhold.
Yesterday her majeaty passed throagh Portt
mouth on her way to Osborne, and thoae who
oould not find time to welcome her wounded
Soidiem home attended on her arrival with their
usual punctuality. Had sho aaked^the gentle-
man who surrounded her on the station with
the keys of the fortress, where they were when
her poor invalids landed from tho Himalaya,
tho question might, perhaps, havo obtained for
tho next draught of invalid* that shall arrive
a reception more in harmony with the merits
toward us and tho enthusia*tio gratitude of the
country toward thorn.
Her Majesty ha* broken through official re-
serve in older to testify in the most signal mau-
ncr the warmth of the feeling whioh unites the
sovereign of this country to the men to whom
our defense is entrusted. It would be high-
gracious in her, and at any rate it ia tho boun-
den duty of.her ministers so to notioe the re-
oent scene nt Portsmouth as effectually to pro
vide for tho humane aud careful reception of
tho next cargu of human misary which tho
blast of war may fling upon the ooast of Kug
