EIGHT DAYS LATER.


ed copious files of London papers to the
evening of the lst Of June.
The most interesting item Of intclli-
gcnce is, that Prince Leopold has re-
jected the sovereignty Of Greece.
The health of the King had not varied
much since our last advices.
The Windsor Express ofthc o9th says:
The legs of the royal patient are very
much swellcd; they have been repeated
ly operated upon by Mr.. Brodic, the
surgeon, but lattery with not so much
good effect. 1t is understood that setons
have been tried, and very proiuse dis
charge has taken place from the parts
affected. The measure of nominating a
commission to exercise the functions Of
his Majesty, in subscribing the sign
manual, was rendered imperative, owing
to the great inconvenience experienced
in several departments through theaccu-
mutation of instruments, the completion
of which was urgently called for. In
many instances papers had been waiting
for the royal signature for near two years.
Two public Offices had each 5000 docu-
ments ready for signature. The whole
of these would, in the event of the de-
mise the King, have been useless, and
considerable expense and inconvenience
must have been incurred. A similar
measure to that now proposed was, We
have heard, two years ago proposed to
his Majesty by the ministers, but the
King refused his assent. As a proof,
however, that the King must have exert
ed himself, at some personal mconvcn-
iencc, to aflix his signature, the writing
to some of the papers signed by him re-
Gently could scarcely be recognized as
that of his Majesty.
1t is said that his majesty has express
cd a wish that the Princess Victoria Al
cxandrina should assume the name of
Elizabeth, and that his desire will proba-
bly, be complied with.
This Princess, on whom the crown Of
Great Britain will devolve in case of the
deccase in her life time of the present
king and the duke of Clarence, was born
in May 1919, and her father the duke of
Kent died in January following. The
London Court Journal says, that she is
accomplished in degree quite extraor-
dinary for her age. She speaks with flu
ency and elegance nearly all the modern
European languages; is very fair pro-
ficicnt in Latin, and has made consider
able progress in the mathematics. She
is also an excellent musician, and assists
ut the private concerts that are given al
most nightly at the palace, at Kcnsing
ton, where she resides.
