THE SUN.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1862,

A variety of suggestions have naturally enough
b3en thrown out as to the nature and character of
the ALBERT Testimonial. Tot homnines tot een-
tentice. Her Majesty the QUEEN has herself only
thrown out a hint or two. It ought, the QUEEN sug-
gests, to be suitable in the beauty of its form, in the
appropriateness of its situation, in the costliness of its
material, in the grandeur of its proportions. And
that is about all. In regard tothe form—it is generally
conceived that that of a monolith would be about
the best that could be selected. In regard to the
site, the greensward upon which stood the Crystal
Palace of 1851, in Hyde Park, the Consort's
admitted masterpiece. In regard to the material—
both because of its durability and splendour—
red polished granite. In regard to the size—
the largest block anywhere discoverable. And so
—with these last points especially in view—the
quarries of his Grace the Duke of ARGYLL are now
being ransacked, to the end that a sufficiently noble
mass of red granite should be hewn in one solid lump
from the dcodal granite constituting the wealth of

that property.
Together with these ideas in regard to the yet
undecided Memorial in honour of the Queen's
departed Husband, there are several others of an
ancillary kind thrown out here and there by
sympathiging observers, from a timely conside-
ration of the pick of which many beneficial
suggestions may be selected with advan-
tage. Very recently, for example, there
appeared in a provincial newspaper, one of the
local journals published in Cambridge, a com-
munication penned by one of the great ladies of
the Shire, the Countess of HARDWICKE, a com-
munication in itself eminently well deserving the
scrutiny of the Working Committee of the Memo-
tial, and, in a wider sense also, of the select few
I`)minated by her Majesty herself as the presiding
