The Death of the Princess Alic--

SPERCHES IN THE HOUSE (YF

LORDS,

On the 17th of Decewher, which was the ving the death of the Princess 5 ine. of condolence to the Queen were offered in the House of Lords,

,. ‘ ) - wealav TOLL

resolutions

moved by the Premier and seconded by Lord Granville. ta the Commons the resolutions were moved by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and seconded by Lord Hartington, leader of the Opposition. We print the speeches of Lords Beaconsfield

and Granville :—

THe Ear or Beaconsrietp—My lords, when last | had the honor of addressing your lordships it was in the warm contro- versy of public life. I then had no idea that before we dispersed I should have to again appeal to your lordships. The sub- ject to which I have to refer on this occa- sion is oneon which there will be unanimity; but, alas, it is the unanimity of sorrow. My lords, you are too well aware that a great calamity has fallen on the Royal fam- ily of this realm. A Princess who loved us, though she left us, and who always revisited her fatherland with delight—one of those women the brightness of whose being ad- orned seciety and inspired the circle in which she lived—has been removed from this world, to the anguish of her family, her friends, and her subjects. Princess Alice —for I will venture to call her by that name though she wore a crown—af-

forded one of the most striking con- trasts that I can remember of rich- nes of culture and rare intelligence, conbined with the mest pure and

refined domestic sentiments. (Hear, hear.) You, my lords, who know her life well, can recall those agonizing hours when she at- tended the dying bed of her illustrious father who had sketched out ber studies and formed her tastes. You can recall, too, the moment at which she attended her Royal brother at a time when the hopes of Eng- iand seemed to depend on his life (hear, hear); and now you can remember too well how, when the whole of her own family wore stricken by a malignant disease, she had been to them the angel of the house till at last her own vital power was, per-

haps, exhausted, and she has fallen. My lords, there is something wonderfully

piteous in the immediate causeof her death. The physiciaus who permitted her to watch over her suffering familyenjoined her under no circumstances whatever to be tempted into an embrace. Her admirable self-re- straint guarded her through the crisis of this terrible complaint in safety. But it became her lot to break to her son, quite a a youth, the death of his youngest sister, to whom he was devotedly attached. The boy was so overcome with misery that the agitated mother clasped him in her arms and thus she received the kiss of death. My lords, I hardly know an incident more pa thetic. Itis one by which poets might be inspired, and in which the professors of the fine arts, from the highest to the lowest branches, whether in paintings, sculpture, or gems, might find a fitting subject of com- memoration. (Hear, hear.) My lords, it is impossible to depict at this moment the sufferings of the husband whom she has left behind and of the children who were se de- voted to her, but our duty is to offer our condolence to one whose happiness and whose sorrows always excite and command the loyalty and affectionate respect of this House. Upon Her Majesty a great grief has fallen which none but Her Majesty, none but the Queen, can so completely and actually feel. Seventeen years ago Her Majesty experienced the crushing sorrow of her life, and then she was particularly sustained by the daughter whom she has

now lost, who assisted her by her labors, and aided her by her presence and _ counsel. Her

Majesty now feels that the cup of serrow was not then exhausted. I feel it impos- sibie to use any language which could ex- press the consolation we wish to extend to her in her sorrow. Her suffering is too fresh to allow of solace ; but, however ex- alted her position, I feel that she will be sustained by the consciousness that she pos- sesses the sympathy of the nation. (Hear, hear.) My lords, with these feelings I beg

to propose to your lordship’s acceptance the |

following motion :—

‘That an humble address be presented to Her Majesty to express the deep concern of this House at the great loss which Her Majesty has sustained by the death of Her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess of Hesse, Princess Alice of Great Britain and Ireland, second daughter of Her Majesty the Queen, and to condole with her on this melancholy occasion, to assure Her Majesty that this House will ever feel the warmest interest in whatever concerns Her Majesty’s domestic relations, and to declare the ar- dent wishes of this House for the happiness of her house and of her family.”

(Hear, hear.)

Eart GraNvILLE—With your lordship’s permission, I wish to join the declaration of the heartfelt loyalty and deep surrow with which we all desire to approach our graci- ous Sovereign on the occasion of this ad- dress. The accidents of a political career gave me some opportunity of observing the domestic life of the Royal Family during the course of eleven years. At the begin-, ning of that period Princess Alice was a singularly attractive child, seven years old. I doubt whether any childhood or youth Was ever more joyous was ever more Joyous and bright, or ever gave a livelier promise of that which has been so amply fulfilled. At the end of that time I had the honor of ppvaing an address in this House on Her

yal Highness’ marriage,--a marriage

founded on all the best securities for

wedded happiness. The child had gtown into womanhood with all those Personal, moral, and mental gq uali-

ties which the noble earl has so well des- cribed. The principal characteristics of her | married life appear to have been—first, ab- | solute devotion to her husband and child-' ten; next, a course not merely of benevol-

pase, but of uncessing, thoughtful bene-.

feehee to all depending upon her; and, lastly, a remarkable talent for acquiring the sympathy and attracting the regard of some of the most gifted of the intellectnal country which she has adopted, and to whose interests she was devoted ‘without, ever breaking a link in the chain of! memories and associations which bound her | to the country of her birth. The noble! earl has already alluded to the singular’

coincidence of three dates which will never |

’

pass from the pages of English history. | My Lords, I trust that neither the writer | nor your Lordships will think it indiscreet | if, instead of trusting to my own lan | guage to impress your feelings as to the loss which has on this last 14th of December befallen the Royal families of England and Darmstadt, 1 read to you a few words extracted from a letter written on the day of the sad tragedy by a brother passionately devoted to his sister, and who left England last night to pay the last sad tribute of affection and respect to her be- loved memory :—

**So good, so kind, so clever. We have! gone through so much together—my fath- er’s illness, then my own; and she has suc- cumbed to the pernicious malady which laid low her husband and children whom she nursed and watched with unceasing care and attention. * * The Queen bears up bravely, but her grief is deep beyond words ”

My Lords, I will add nothing. I only ask to be allowed to second the motion which has been made. (Hear, hear.)

The motion was at once agreed tu nomine dissentiente.
