ROYAL Sicisrmnr.—The Morning Herald publishes the
following autograph letter, sent by the Queen to Sir Edmund
Lyons, on the death of his son :—"Buckingham Palace, June
29, 1855.—The Queen cannot let any one but herself express
to Sir Edmund Lyons the Prince's and her feelings of deep
and heartfelt sympathy on the most melancholy occasion of
the loss of his beloved and gallant son, Captain Lyons. We
deeply grieve to think of the heavy affliction into which Sir
E. Lyons is plunged at this anxious moment, and we mourn
over the loss of an officer who proved himself so worthy of
his further, and was so bright an ornament to the service he
belonged to. To lose him, just when he returned triumphant,
having accomplished so admirably all that was desired and
wished, must be an additional pang to his father. If sympa-
thy can afford col:elation, he possesses that of the whole
nation."
