Queen Victoria
--The
Queen of
England recently gave a concert at Buckingham Palace in honor of her daughter and guest, the
Princess of
Prussia.
When all those who had been invited were arrived, the
Queen instead of entering the apartment where they expected her, ordered a carriage, and taking with her one of her daughters, the Princess Helena, went to pass the night in a country house she owns at
Richmond, from which she returned next day. Prince Albert did the honors of the concert to the great surprise of the guests, for whom this singular incident of course furnished a theme of conversation during the evening Speculations respecting the
Queen's sanity are very common in
England.
