LONDON, MONDAY, DEC. 16.

RAEILY has the nation been &filleted with •
loss so sudden and overwhelming as that which it
mourns to-day. Until Saturday morning there
was no general apprehension of any serious
danger to the Bead of the Royal fflossebold, sod
even then it was almost univerially hoped and
believed that the Plumes's comparative youth
and unimpaired strength of constitution would in
the end triumph over the more alarming symp-
toms that had appeared. But before the day
closed all was over. The highest family in the
/realm wee desolate and the Royal Lady whom all
hearts revere had bosom a widow. We cannot
attempt to describe in detail the public impression
produced by this most afflicting raw& Since the
death of the Princess Citations there bee been
no each deep and touching appeal to the national
sympathy ; nor, insuredly, has there been any
such profound, universal, and heartfelt napalm
The first feeling of every heart is that of poig-
nant grief at the terrible bereavement, and of
tenderest sympathy for the Royal Lady who Malmo
made so suddenly desolate, and the children who
are now fatherless. The agonising sorrow of such
a moment is too deep for any earthly relief, and
too sacred to be disturbed by any intrusive conso
lation. But the nation cannot but share in the
afflictioos of its beloved Sovereign. The widowed
Qintex lives so entirely in the affections of her
people that it is impossible for her to weep alone.
And this is of all others the very calamity that
touches most directly and most powerfully the very
sources of that affection. It is in her domestic
relations that the Quasi has set so noble op
example to every household in the realm. It is es
• wife and • mother, in the exemplary discharge
of all thefisties belonging to those sacred relations,
that she has won so largely the respect and pale.
ful affection of the nation. And it is as • wife
and a mother that she is sow called to bear the
heaviest lose, to endure the bitterest pain that
can ever rend a human heart. The home that wee
always bright has become suddenly darkened, the
united circle is broken, the guiding strength to
which the wife had looked up, and the tried affeo-
Bon on which she has leaned for twenty years can
now support her no more. No words can measure
the lose, and few can realise the full meaning of
the change. But it ia impossibie to glance at the
past, and think of the Royal sufferer who now
mourns alone, without an aching MOM of grief and
desolation. The union thus severed by death,
unlike so many royal sisreieges, was cee not only
formed in the very morning of life, but founded
on mutual esteem and devoted affection. The long
working years of wedded life more than realised
the brilliant hopes and prospects of its commence-
ment. The domestic hie of the I.II.IZZN and Palace
Commerhasbeen throughout an example of conjugal
happiness, harmony, said peace. It has never for
a moment been darkened by any cloud of diffe-
rence, coolness, or suspicion. As the cares of
domestic life multiplied they were faithfully
shared, as its duties increased they were diligently
discharged, said both brought with them new en-
joyments. The Quzaw and Parses devoted them-
selves with conscientious zeal to the education of
their family, and they had their reward in
watching the gradually developed character and
accomplishments of their children. For twenty
happy years no cloud of affliction or bereave-
meat darkened this picture of domestic happi-
nem But in one short year death has made
fearful inroads on the favoured circle. Only nine
months ego this very day the country was giving
expression to its sympathy with the Royal daughter
on the loss of her devoted mother, the
late Dacia= of KINT. And now, when
. scarcely recovered from this first heavy
domestic lose, our beloved Sovereign ia
called to endure another blow far more terrible
and severe. This overwhelming distress of the
Royal Family touches every husband and wife,
every sun and daughter in the kingdom, and it
will, as we have said, be deeply shared by every
family in the realm. The Royal sufferers have the
full and tender sympathy of a devoted people.
Urief like theirs levels all distinctions of rank ;
and while the heart of the Sovereign is wrung
with the terrible agony which so many of her sub-
jests have felt, and so many more must surely
