The queen w111 start for Osborne house tale of Wight , on Tuesday next. Her dec'ulon to leave \Vlnrteor castle Is a great relief to the royal family , who fear that she is doing too much for her strength. Every day ot the week she has been receiving deputations ot visitors and entertaining guests at a luncheon and dinner. When he received tbe bishops the other day It wae her own sug gestion that a number should be personally presented to her. To Bkihop Wblpple and Bishop Potter she said : "I am ve.y glad In deed to see you here. " On Thursday the queen received a deputa tion of Dei-conformists , headed by Dr. Jo seph Parker , minister of the City temple , and Dr. Monroe Gibson , formerly of Chicago and Toronto. Her maje ty received them with even ine.re ceremony than she diel the Episcopalians. They all lunched at the cas tle. anJ then proceeded to the drawing room , wheie they were ushered into tbe presence Jf the queen , who was surroiu ded by the high officers of the court , with a guard of honor. While the end ot the season is lmost at hand , tblb weelt hcc been one of 'he gayest of the year In London. Every night there have been balls and receptions at which roy alty and others of the most exclusive set have been prtm.'t. One feature of the season , and possibly the chief feature , has been tbe re-\ial of dancing among ! ha men. Herete > fore one of the chiif diflicultirs which Londun hostesses had to contend with has been the correct thing for ih- > young men to refuse to dance and only to turn up ut supper time. This year the bosttsact- formed a port of social trust and decline. ! to Invite notorious offenders men who thought their position , rendered them se cure. The result of this Astern of dis cipline is that dancing men ar > again nu merous. The season , so far as theaierc are con cerned , may be tegatded as definitely over. What novelties. If any , managers have up their sleeves , have been got ready not for the metropolitan public , but In view of their provincial tours , and , If played at all In Lon don , the performance will partake more of the nature of drc&s rehearsals than of any thing else.

The Spectator eays he ( Sherman ) tcolds the British government as if its ministers were a s t of mean , underhand , thieving scoundrels. It Is absolutely essential that Lore ! Salisbury should refuse to consider the question In any manner until he has re ceived an apology for sucb wanton imputa tions. Tbe Ppsaker says' "Secretary Sherman U an old man. We hope for hits sake that the dispatch was drafted by some subordi nate , who was for tbe time being depressed by the heat. The language is quite strong enough to justify a suspension of all diplo matic relctions If that were worth while.
