THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH.
{Liverpool Courier.) Much gossip is afloat respecting the Duke and Duffiess of Edinburgh. On the Ist of April next the Duke will sail for the Mediterranean, where he intends to have a twoyears’ cruise. About the same time the Duchess will go to Bussia, where she intends to make at least a three months’ stay, but in reality the date of her return to England is very uncertain. Now, the Mediterranean is not like India, where the Princess of Wales could not very well accompany her husband ; nor is the Duke’s cruise connected with affairs of state. The consequence is people are asking why the Duchess does not go with her husband and spend at least some portion of her long absence at one of the numerous health resorts on the shores of the Mediterranean. What makes the matter still more extraordinary is that the Duke and Duchess are. dischargieg their servants and selling off stock, while Eastwell Park will be completely shut up in a short time. It was expected that the Duchess would go on a visit to her august parents, but the longest period report fixed for her stay in the Russian capital was originally three weeks.
