in his favour. From the matrimonial conventions made
between Prince Albert and the Queen Victoria, and which
have been submitted to the judges, it appears that, in the

event of the Ducal Crown of Saxe-Getha passing to the
descendants of Prince Albert, (his eldest brother, the
reigning duke, is unmarried,) it will be the second son of
the Queen that will succeed to it. The duchy would, in
that case, devolve to the royal family of Great Britain ;
and a costly acquisition it would prove, no doubt.

Mr. and Mrs. Lamb, who had never before seen him,
glanced at each other; but Tom and I, with schoolboys'
privilege, kept our eyes rivetted upon him with what Dr.
Butt would have called the gazo of admiration. " I
see you have been looking at me," said he, when be had
done; " I have a very great appetite. I once fell in
with a stranger in the shooting season, and we dined to-
gether at an inn : there was a leg of mutton which he
did not touch. I never make more than two cuts of
a leg of mutton : the first takes all one side, the se-
cond all the other ; and when I had done this I laid the
bone across my knife for the marrow. The stranger
