tant business.
II is generally understood that the
Princes flving is connected with the
baccarat scandal. lie was at first dis
posed to treat the baccarat matter
lightly, but he has now awakened as to
the seriousness of his position. The Lon
don correspondent of the Leeds Mercury
says he has good reason to state that
the Hon. Edward Stanhope, secretary of
state Tor war, will apologize Monday
next in the house of commons on behalf
OF the Prince OF Wales for the share the
latter took in condemning the con luct of
Sir William Gordon.C Cumming ut Tranby

The storm rising around the Prince of
Wales is fast obtaining intensity, endan-
dangcring his chances of succession to
the throne, if not the existence OF the En-.
gish monarchy. No class appears to he
stirred So deeply as the great middle
classes. the real strength of the country
and hitherto the solid and stolid prop OF
the monarchy. Wherever its voice be-
comes audible, its earnest denunciations
of the Prince of Wales are accompanied
by regret at its nearncss to the throne.
The Official Gazette announces, under
date OF unc 10, that the name of Sir
William Gordon-Cumming had been re-
moved from the list foilicersi in the army,

that the outbreak of public feeling which
followed the baccarat scandal revelation
was ominous for monarchy. England" 4"
the Express adds, will not forget the
character and habits OF the Prince of
Wales us revealed at the trial. The re-
suit is that the institution OF monarchy as
connected in the minds of the people with
bad associations, is obviously in danger.
The Dismissal of Sir William Gordon
Cumming from the army will be regarded
as severe rebukc to the popular sympa-
thics."
