The Queen, on hearing of the accident, sent a kind message of inquiry, asking to bo informed e\cry day of how the wounded men progies&ed. Besides three British squadrons, there were also present at the review two French warships, a Dutch corvette, and a German frigate, the crews whereof heartily cheered the Queen, to whom the foreign officers were presented with the British captains aboard the ltoy.il yacht.
