through which they have been won. We are sure
that all our readers, whether subjects of her most
Gracious Majesty or not, will ion heartily with us
In this wish; and yet we have noticed in various
quarters an uneasy curiosity as to the personality
OF the next Queen. She ofcourse, will be merely
queen Consort not Queen Regnant; her present
most excellent Majesty has taken care of that
Hence 1t would seem that the question as to whom
she may be would have at this time very little
interest; but on the contrary, if we NAV iudre
from some OF our English files, that verv reason
appears to make the subject matter of curiosity
and discussion in certain circles, Therefore it IS
that we depart from our usual custom, and decide
disputed question which has been submitted to
us by some OF our readers. We are asked to say
whether, ''lt the Prince of Wales, now heir to the
British throne, should not marry before he becomes
king he can then marry a subject, or whomsoever
he likes, and whether the issue of such a MARRIAGE
would be lawful heir to the Crown" To the aues-
tlon IN both its parts, we answer Yes. The action

other member of his family. The right of the King
OF England to marry whom he pleases, has not
been restricted by any Act that we can remember;
and 1t has twice, at least been exerted in the mar
rage OF subjects by monarchs upon the English
throne, ana without in any manner affecting the
validity of the claim of the issue of those marriages

his elder son by her to a place on the ENGLISH

the dying woman, hourly expecting her dssolu-

On Friday evening new married sister of the
sick woman and young girl were acting as watch

the sick woman her medicine they sat quietly sew

The watchers left the room to procure assistance.
An elderly neighbOr sent for to clay out" the
