Queen Victoria's

departure from Brussels on her return to England, was delayed for two days by a cold which she caught in Germany. It is a striking proof of the excellence of the constitution of Queen Victoria, and of her physical training and regularity of habit, that during the twenty-three years she has been on the British throne, she has never been confined to her room from sickness for a single day, excepting upon the occasions when she has added to the number of the Guelph olive branches.
