London, Feb. 12.---By a recent roy- al warrant, Queen Alexandra is 'now possessed of a coat of arms of her a privilege never enjoyed by previous queen cousort of this country, Hitherto, her majesty, despite the fact that she maintains an entitely separate houschold from the king, has used as hr arms two shields, one bearing the British royal arms and the other those of Denmark--a deview which the king has a perfect, if nota ereater, right to use. In this country a married man is always eptitled tc his wife's as well as his own arms. So that until recently the queen has nev, er had a coat of arms to which she was exclusively entitled. The new arms consist of the arms of Britain and Denmark, impaled within the Garter. The supporters are taker from the arms of both countries, on the dexter side the lion of England and on the sinister the wreathed sav- age of Denmark. The whele is sur mounted by King Edward's crown. Arms were granted under the king's personal warrant, not so much to the oueen as queen. but as the Lady of the Order of the Garter. Since being invested with the Garter her majesty has possessed her own stall and stall plate in St. George's Chapel at Wind I sor, and, now that she has her own arms her position is exactly the same as that of a knight of that or der.
