two miles distant from the canal, were shat
tered. Seven persons are missing. There

The London Times in a leading article
contradicts the statement recantly current
that the queen has paid the debts of the prince
of Wales. At the present time, Gays the wri-
ter, debts OF the prince amount to little
moro than one-third of his annual income and
include scarcely any bills due longer than
year. The princes balance at his bankers to-
day will more than suffice to meet every claim.
It is rue that the prince is unable to live with
in his income, but the excess is provided from
a fund which is his private property. The
fund which accumulated during the princes
minority from the revenues OF the duchy OF
Cornwall is still sufficient to meet the yearly
deficit i'll his expenses, though the time may
come when this resource will be exhausted.
