The Late Queen Victoria.

AN .'-MVUTCA.N ACCOUNT OF WhM IJ.LNI-tss.

Tha New York WorM of the 2Tsi January publishes the foliuw-ng account hem its London correspondent of the breaking <i wn of the Queen. Your correspondent has ohtpi'erl from * sourco w' jhin CVurt circle' th« fir*t compreh n-'ive unii actna 1 account of the Queen's illness %hen ouf. Hie fa t« giv< n place the, i'lness of the Q i^en in a pa»h»tic ligbt. They &ls> w that lei mind hai- beenfiiUr>g for many months. Even b fore her visit to fr land she had been a mental wreck for months. Wuen ever it was announced that, she ma'e ftlicitous speeches at public functions ir was a matter of cold fact that the poor Qaeen was in such a dxza that all sha co'i'd say to her companions was "Where am I P Several times when she appeared in public rlurine 'he pa*t six or eight months she has fallen asleep. Had it been anyone else but the Queen of England it would h>?e been plain long ago :hat the malady was S'nile decay, and that truthfulty is what afflicts Vic toria. But her physical breaking op of of the pas' wei-an attack of paralysis in the left side—it; would hive been possible for the Court and ;*oya! House hold to have kept from the British people the knowledge of her mental decay for an indefinite period, for the Qaeen had lapses of intelldual vigor. These, however, were more distressing to her than her periods of mental density. When her brain was clear she imme diately reverted to the horrors of the war in Fouth Africa. Agaio and again Bhe h*rped upon the far. This war, vhich she strove wi<h all her power to avert, made the Us hours of Kngland'e Queen, wbo reigned happily longer than most men live, most wretched and mise rable. In her lacid intervals it haunted her incessantly. The Queen'tj strong constitution manifested the first symptoms of serious deciy during the stay of the Court at Windsor in November and Pi cembeir of 189D, when evil tidings of the South African war, which began the previous October, began to arrive in rapid succession. General Buller, before leaving England for th© South< African campaign, assured the Queen that the war would be u difficult; but not dangerous." In consequence the news of many reverses came to her. with added seventy. She felt she had , been deceived, and never forgave Bai ler, Ifc was at this time that the Queen had fits of crying in an aggra vated form, which immediately pro ceded her present critical illness. The excitement incidental to her visit to Ireland — which, despite everything stated to the contrary, was her own idea—Beemed to revive her, but before the visit ended the reaction had set in. The public, however, was hoodwinked by the accounts of her Majesty's doings and utterances givern to the newspapers by her household. The unfavourable war news and the reports of the acute; sufferings ff her dying daughter, the Empress Frederick, aff cted the Queen keenly. The Queen drove about in hrr donkey j chaise within the grounds of Osborne H use for the l&sfc time oa Tuesday. The Duchess of Edinburgh, or Saxe- Ooburg-Ootha, was her companion. On her return to the castle the Queen was asleep, and in that condition f-he wa«) carried to bed, never to rise again. Dr Pagenetecher, the German ©culist, who was attending the Duke of Somerset for an injury to his eyes, was summoned to Osborne. Tbo Qaeen suffered acutely from her eyes, owing fco her constant crying, Dr Pagen stecher made a general examination on Monday, and reported that the Qaeen had nothing orgitiicully wrong, bat was suffering from nervous exhaus'ion. j In her period ; of mental activity fhe harped so incessantly upon the war that the Colonel Secretary, Mr Cham berlain, was directed to go to Osborne to console her with reassuring news. Mr Chamberlain led the war party when the Queen favored peace. It was not a wise thing as it turned out, for her household to summon Mr Chamber lain. His efforts to consols the Qaeen were fruitless, and she abruptly closed the conference. Soberquently Lord Roberts was directed to appear at Os borno. He reached there last Tuesday. He did not attempt to deceive the Qaeen, but frankly explained the diffi culties which had to be overcome before ! the war could be terminated. The in terview lasted some time, and it was j the last time the Queen displayed the wide knowledge and «hrewd common sense which played such an important part in her 'ong reign. It was after Lord Roberts' interview that the Queen dccornpanif'd by the Duchess of Edin burgh, w^nt, for the drive already men tioned. Two weeks before the public knew of it, Sir Francis Laking had been assisting Sir James Reid at Os horne. Oc\ Tuesday Sir Pfusjlis Puril tbs heart and lung gpepialist was sum moned because of two attacks of heart failure from which the Queen suffered on Wednesday night." At this time the Queen's condition had assumed the gravest csmplexion, but th© Prince of Wales, in order to prevent public alarm attended a dinner given to Lord Roberts, and appeared at a theatre on Thursday night. On Thursday night th a Queen had a stroke of paralyaia and since then has been in a comatose condition.
