Some of the Most Improtnut Enacted
During Victoria's aeimn.
During Queen Nictoria's reign there
were many notable acts OF legisla-
tion. Several reforms demanded by
the chartists, then considered revolu-
tionary i'm the extreme, were quietly
and peaceably effected. The corn
laws were repealed and England en-
tered upon her marvellous prosperity
under free trade policy The Irish
church was disestablished and the
odious system of purchase abolished
in the army. There was a sensational
feature connected with the last-named
measure. IL was opposed by the
house Of lords and defeated by a trick.

A Reign of Excitement.
The early years of Victoria's reign
were fun Of interest and excitement
There were the rebellion in Canada, the
Anti-Corn league, the chartist agitation,
the Jamaica question, the never-ending
Irish question. the Afghan war and the
war with China. Along with these
events came the introduction OF many
great discoveries in science, industry
and commerce which are now consid-

chamber Sir Robert was actuated by
purely political motives, but his man

queen offended her deeply and she re-

hHrVelopS Territorial Expansion Wit

The territorial growth Of the Brit

Victoria has been prodigious In
Asia between 1897 and 1858 the terri
tory Of Scinde of the SilIhs, Tanjore,
Lower Burmah, Nagpur, Sattara,
Jhans and Dude were brought under
British dominion. In the latter year
all British India was transferred

Upper Burmah, the Shan states, Be

Hong-Kong be forgotten as one OF
the acquisitions of the reign.

even greater changes have occurred.

thoroughly understood Prince Albert.
All his actions were closely watched.
1t was imagined that he would endeav-
or to overstep his limitations as the
consort OF the queen and try TO influ-
ence political affairs. But this feeling
wore off as the excellent personal quail
tiles ofthe prince became known. When
he died, Decem ber Ia, 1861, the national
grief was profound. No man, it was ad-
mitted, had ever devoted himself more
faithfully 10 high and difficult duties,and
words of commendation were heard on
all sides. For many years after this
bereavement the queen led life Of
strict seclusion. She avoided all public
and court ceremonials, though her du-
ties as a sovereign were never neg
lected.

It has been grief TO the queen that
the last years Of her reign should be
marred by wars in which her soldiers
have suffered severely even while dis.

She wept over the losses Of her soldiers
in South Africa and shared the grief Of
