WHAT QUEEN VICTORIA HAS SEEN.
Very remarkable chauges have taken place during the forty-two years’ reign of Queen Victoria. She has outlived by several years every Bishop and Judge whom she found seated on the benches in England, Jfcotland, and Ireland. She has witnessed the funeral of every Premier under her, except Lord Beaconsfield and Mr Gladstone. Not a single Cabinet Minister of her uncle and predecessor’s day now survives.
Of the membei’s of the Pi’ivy Council who sat in June, 1837, to administer to her the oath, only four survive. She has received the homage of four Archbishops of Canterbury, four Archbishops of York, and five bishops, Chichester, Lichfield, and Durham successfully. She has filled each of the Chief Justiceships: twice at least; she has received the addresses of four Speakers of the House of Commons. She has entrusted the Great Seal of the Kingdom to no less than nine Lord Chancellors.
