THE QUEEN‘S LIFE OF III-ZR HUSBAND.

{BRICK ALBIIIT‘S FEELINGS AT THE TIME 05‘

From the various letters of the Prince we may learn his own feelings at this time. To Prince Lowonstein he wrote :—

After that the sky was darken- ed more and more.

We observe by the St. John papers that a few days ago a large quantity of liquor invoiced “Raw and Boiled Linseed Oil." arrived at. that port. in a vessel from Lou- doii. and consigned to a merchant in St. John. A cart load of this article was rc- movcd to Mrs. Cudle and Snider‘s bonded warehouse. when on being examined by tho guugcr and inspector. tho casks were found to contain nothing but clear spring water. 1It is presumed tliowholc lot is of the same quality. It is supposed that the ori lual swindler is now beyond the reach ofjustice. with the proceeds of his dishon- esty in his pocket. and the English shipper will have to suffer. A small quantity of the real linseed oil had been used to give the bangs of tho casks the proper odour. and thus make the dccc tion complete.

Dasn‘rcuus. -—-Tlie reason for sending so many uninteresting despawhcs over the cable to the Associated Press is thus explained by the Journal of Oommcrn: ” It is not the fault of the agent. but of the Cable Company. which has heretofore refused sll comprouiige in the interest of the press. The charge for each despatch is fixed at a mininum rate. so that the simplest market item is charged in full for an entire message. There ilsspatnhos are. therefore. filled with any item of intelligence to mslto up the whole number of words. In this sense there unim- ;oriant paragraphs cost nothing. If impor- tant news was at hand they would not come at all; but if they were withheld, the cost would be precisely the same without them. it is understood that the sable company are about changing this rule.
