LONDON. June l6.-Ev erybody is talking of
Lord and Lady Brooke. All gossip aside, the
relations between the pair have been little
more than formal for several months past. and
they have not usually answered the invitations
of royalty together. 1t is rumored that Lord
Brooke has in his possession letters fully as IN
teresting as those in the Mordaunt case, written
by the Prince of Wales and which call for
some clear definition of the line between pla-
tonic affection and the seventh commandment.
Lady Brooke has lately shown de-
sire TO win back her husband, who
will in all probability soon be. the
Earl of Warwick. and but for the bacca-
rat scandal she might have, succeeded
That raised such storm of scandal IN which
Lady Brookes name had prominent place
that Lord Brooke is thoroughly disgusted and
will no longer play the part OF complainant
husband TO his beautiful wife. Both of them
are independent a 20 property, Lady BROOKE
having a considerable inherited estate near
Colchester.
SIR WILLIAMS WEALTH.
A friend of Sir William Gordon Cumming
says that "tO remove a possible misapprehen-
it was desirable TO state that Sir William is
entirely independent Of any fortune that his
bride may bring him and Is able TO meet
the costs of the recent trial without
serious impairment of his estate that
Lady Cumming has not married
chateau en- espagne, and will, as
customary among Americans and Brltons, re-
tain entire control of her property; that SIT
Williams proposed visit 10 America will not
be in connection with getting portion of his
wife's estate under his control, as he Is under
no such necessity, and that, in the opinion or
the writer the loss of the society OF the
Prince of Wales will be amply repaid to SIR
William by increased ability TO live within his
means"

THE PRINCES APOLOGY.
The News SAYS: I'VE venture to say that
the Prince of Wales new departure in sub
stantially apologizing 10 Parliament and to
the country exhibits u Just Difference 10 public
opinion and will dispose Of the whole matter
The pain which the unpleasant process must
have cost the Prince will count as part or
his expiatiOn with every generous mind. The
fact of an ill-assorted companionship of years
and dgnites on the stool Of repentance,
though 10 is al honor for Leyett, must be an
additional annoyance for the Prince or
Wales
