A good illustration Of the cool freedom, not
be disrespectfu and say positive impudencs, OF I@
London Times is furnished by some of its rsc'o'
remarks addressed at or to the Queen. The follow

marriage of the Prince was impending; the sue)ea
was the necessity for her Majesty to suspend nee
grief for her husbands death, and TO become once
more active. It is hardly parody Of The I'"a'
remarks to represent them thus; Msdam, No
Queen cannot delegate her sovereignty. She mus
not eclipse her greatness. She must not shut hef'
