It is a copious history of the early years of the late Prince Consort, enciched by numerous memoranda from Her Majesty's own hand, cofaining the most unreserv- ed description of the life and char- acter of the Prince, and even laying open to us, in a great measure, the private thoughts and feelings of the Queen herself during the period over which the volume extends. It was originally compiled by Gen. Grey, nnder Her Majesty's direction, sole- ly for ¢ private circulation among the members of her own family, or such other p as, from the relation in which they stood to Her Majesty or the Prince Consort himself, would naturally be interested in the story of bis early days." Notwithstand- ing this privacy, however, some fear was entertained least a copy of the volume igh be surreptitiously ob- published in a garbled form, and it was thoaght that it might Ife prudent to avert this danger. But ' motive prompted - n the judgment of sever- ng po hu judgment she the greatest confidence ; believ- ing also that the free and unreserv- ed expression which the volume con- sains of her own feelings, as well as those of the Prince, is such ase, if made public (however unusual such pablicity may be), will command the entire sympathy of every one whose sympathy or good opinion is to be desired ; and, above all, feeling that there is not one word, coming from the Prince himself, which-will not tend to a better and higher appreci- ation of his great charactor, the Queen has not hesitated to give her to-the y blication. It will be seen, therefore, that the Queen has condescended to take her subjects unreservedly into ber confi- dence, She opens her heart to them in this volume and throws herself up- on their sympathy. She is only anxious that the Prince Consort should be represented to them per- manently in all the completeness of his character, and for this purpose she hae consented not ouly to aban- don much of the mystery which usu- ally environs a throne, but even to sacrifice something of the privacy which is often cherished in private life. The following extract from a letter written by General Grey to the Queen on the completion of the vol- ume for private circulation, and row prefixed to it in its present form, will still further explain the extent of Her Majesty's condescension : " As I believe your Majesty in- tends to limit the circulation of this volume to your Majesty's own child- ren and family, or if it goes beyond them, to a very small circle of per- sonal friends; I have not thought it necessary to omit any of the very interesting and private details con- tained in your Majesty's memoranda or to withold the touching expres- sion of your Majestya own words, Some of the details, particularly those relating to your Majesty's marriage, it might seem unusual to include in a work intended fof more general erusal, though even in that case, judging of other's feelings by my own, I cannot doubt that they would meet with the warmest and most heartfelt sympathy." The Queen, therefore, had estab- lished, by this sacrifice, a peculiar claim to the sympathy of her subjects. But even apart from this special value, the subject of the volume would be s nt to awaken most lively interest. Englishmen have never ceased to do homage to the great and good Prince of whom they were too early deprived. Some if we mistake not, there are many touches from the Queen's own hand, contain a sketch of the Prince's char- acter, and serve to point out the fea- tures of most interest in the present volume. The intention of furnishing a fitting memoir of the Pringe 'is modestly declaimed. The work will "contain a compellation of letters and memoranda, the greater part of those of the Prince himself and of the "Brock, April 3rd 1867. i443 J * |fact, a complete i] 18 -|identified with ourselves and when Jroveeds the | Kent, but of Leopold, afterwards the the proper time bé extracted for & a memoir as may be given to world." But as the remarks we are able to trace in these m randa the career of the Prince from his earliest childhood. We have the evidence of his tutors to the excel- lencies which he early displayed, interesting descriptions by his most intimate friends of his youthful char- acter. This volume is but the of a series in which the whole life of ] carries us as far as the first year the Queen's marriage and the bir the Princess Royal. Prince upto the hjs history becomes one with the his- tory of this country, We junst now pass irom this general account of the volume without quoting the words with which the introductory remarks are concluded, and which seem to make an appeal to all the Queen's subjects. The writer is quoting from a recent sermon by Dr. McLeod, which is spoken of with great admi- ration :-- " «It is only now,' says the preach- er, ' when he is gone, that all who knew him are made to feel how much they unconsciously depended 'upon him ; like a staff on which the weak have been so long accustomed to lean that they knew not how essential it was to their support until it be re- moved, and when with a sigh they withdrew the hand from = the 'place now 'empty, where it was wont to be.' 'It is in this feature in. the Prince's character,' Dr. McLeod adds, ' which ought to make every one sympathize to the very utmost with her Majesty, who, of all persons on earth had the best means of knowing it, and the best means of proving it in a thousand ways in everyday life, and who had the best grounds, there- fore, for appreciating its ancy, ity tenderness, its unfailing strength.' And well may the eloquent preacher appeal to every true Englishdears or conscience to ackuowledge the de- mand which now arises in m quence from the throne for pathy, the prayers, the I sacrificing aid of every her house, and of every ci i Christian nation on her behalf, whom tinue to us as our eign."

A an written by the Queen in 1864, givds an account of their mother and of her melancholy fate She is deseribéd as a very handsome, altnough ve small, fair, and with blue eyes, Prince Albert is said to have extremely like her," She was, more: over, full of cleverness and talent. -- but the marriage was nota happy one. The Dake and Duchess were separated in 1824, and divorced in 1826; and the Duchess died in 1831, in her 32nd year. Sheis always spoken of with af- fection and respect, and we are told that the Prince never forgot her, and spoke with much tenderness and sor- row of his poor mother, and was deeply affected in reading, -arter bis marriage, the accounts of her sad and painful illness. After her death, in 1831, Duke Ernest soon married again ; but of course, un- der the circumstances, neither the mother nor the stepmother of the two young princes had much control over their education. 'I'hey experienced however, no lack of motherly care ; for two grandmothers watched over them from their earliest ycars with the most constant anxiety. Their grandmother on the father's side thé Dowager Duchess of Coburg-Saal- feld, lived, at only a quarter of a mile's distance on one oi of Coburg, at a villa called Ketschendorff, while Rosenau, the summer residence of the Duke, was but four miles on the other side. On the birth of Prince Albert she was called to the bedside of her daughter-in-law, and we find her from there writing to announce the happy event to her own daughter, the Duchess of Kent, in England. The Queen describes the Duchess as a very remarkable woman, with a most powerful, energetic, almost masculine mind, accompanied with reat tenderness of heart and extreme love of nature." She was the mother, of course, not only of the Duchess of King of the Belgians ; and she seems to be another instance of the rule that great men have generally re- markable mothers. The other rela- tive who took such an interest ic the little Princes was the Duchess of Saxe-Gotha, the second wife of the Duke, and thus the step-mother of his two sons. She lived at Reinhards: brann, near Gotha, and the children were not three years old before she had obtained a visit from there. In- deed, we are told "the two grand- 'mothers: seemed to vie with each other ae to which should show the two children the most love and kind- ee ---------------- the Prince will be described ; but it} 1 should show the greatest prudence in managing them. It is from the letters of these two Duchess- es tht we get the best account of the childhood and youth of the two young princes. * * * But this year (1836) is marked by a far more important event--his first visit to England and hig:introduction to the Princess Vic- Charge of the Light Brigade. Any particulars concerning the famous " charge" at Balaklava, dur- ing the Crimean war, which Tenn; son has 80 finely immortalized in verse, must be of general interest, although it is now several years since the gallant Six Hundred rode up to their death, while toria.

We are not told much of bis visit, but an interesting memorandum by the Queen gives us ber impression of him at that time :-- "The Prince was at that time much shorter than his brother, al- ready very handsome" but very stout, which he entirely grew out of after wards; He was most amiable, natu- al; unaffected and merry ; full of in. terest in everything ; playing on the piaro with the Princess, his cousin, drawing ; in short, constantly occu- pied. He always paid the greatest attention to all he saw, and the Queen remembers well how intently he listened to the sermon preached in St. Paul's, when he and his father and brother accompanied by the Duchess 'of Kent and the Princess were there, on the occasion of the service attend- of the Earl of Cardigan, the Com- mander of the Eleventh Hussars at Balaklava, in 1854, who actually led the celebrated © charge," and was related to Mr. Stephen Massett, dur- ing his recent visit to England, after he had recited Tennyson's stirring epic to Lord and Lady Cardigan, with an effect which may be easily imagined by all who have heard his recitations. At about one o'clock on that me- morable day, after the Heavy Brigade had been attacked by tke Russian cavalry, the whole of the cavalry di- vision was considerably advanced towards the enemy, and the Light Brigade had been ordered to dis- mount to relieve their horses.

It is, indeed, rare to see a Prince not yet seventeen years of age bestowing such earnest attention upon a sermon.' From London the Princes returned through Paris to Brussels, where they stayed until April of 1337, stadying modern languages and his- tory, and accompanying their uncle to reviews and other excursions. -- While here rumors were already spread of an intended marriage be- tween the Prince and the future Queen of England ; but nothing, the Queen tells us had been decided at that time.

The stones were brought from the opposite side of the valley of the Nhe, twelve to fifteen miles distant, The first work was to build a giant causeway or road, over which to trans- port the stones. Herodotus says one hundred thousand men were employ- ed ten years on this part of the work. After this preparatory work came the levelling of the foundation, the cat ting out of the subterranean cham- bers, and the elevation of the huge masses of stone. This work, the same writer says, otcupied three hun-- dred and sixty thousand. men twenty ears. 'These men were drafted by the authority of a tyrant sovereign, as men are drafted in time of war, each levy serving a certain number of months, then others taking their places.

Nolan's horse then wheel- ed about and carried him to the rear, and Lord Cardigan led the brigade down to the main battery in front, dbout a mile and a quarter distant. On arriving at about eighty yards from the battery, the fire became very severe, and the officers were considerably excited, and bad to be qrdered to be *" steady." Lord Cardigan, at the head of his brigade, passed close by the muzzle of a gan, which was fired as he en- tered the battery, and rode forward through the Russian limber carriages until he came up close to their lines of cavalry. His brigade did not follow him, aud he was attacked by two Cossacke, slightly wounded, and pearly dismounted, but be fenced them off, ahd gradually retired fron them and others who were at- tempting to surround him. When he got back to the battery his com- mand had retired and diverged to the left, and he slowly retreated until he met General Scarlett, commanding the heavy brigade of cavalry. He told him that the Light Brigade was destroyed, and mentioned the fate of Captain Nolan, after bringing the order for the attack, when General Searlett said that he had just ridden over Capt. Nolan's body. Lord Cardigan then bad his bri- gade counted by his staff officer, and found that there were only 195 pre- sant out of the 650. He then ime- diately rode off to Lord Raglan to report what had taken place.

Lord Raglan then enquired what he had done, and was told that he led the brigade into a Russian battery, that he had ridden up to the Russian cavalry, that he was not followed by the brigade, that was wounded and nearly dis- mounted, and had some difficulty in getting away from a number of Cos- sacks, that the brigade was nearly destroyed, there now being only 195 left ont of 650, and finally that the whole had occupied the brief space of 20 minutes, II ¢ You and your wife should become ome, said a friendly adviser to a hen- pecked husband. ¥ Become one,' ex- claimed the hen-pecked ; hg we are tennow.'! ¢ How so'? © She's I, and Jama 0?

The nicest chemical researches into the composition of the soil where the major part thus lost by abrasion disappears, does not show the slightest trace of it. What becomes of the pins? Thereis an equally philosophical inquiry--made the more urgent when it ia recollected that fourteen tons of brass wire is manu- factured into pins in one town daily. It seems, therefore, when the metals, are reduced to impalpable atoms, as they are by use, they are transported by the atmosphere, where they are ré:-collected and re-consoli-- dated. Itis by no means an unscien- tific thought that such a movement of atoms may take place.
