Cannes.
This watering place, situated in France on a bay in the Mediterranean and which the King is said to propose to visit in the middle of March has much to make it of interest to the royal family. It was here > that the Duke of Albany died, and it pos- " tosses a beautiful Memorial Church, dedicated to St. George of England, and erected as a memorial of the Duke. Queen Victoria paid a visit to the town in 1887 to see the church. In 1886 Lord Brougham discovered the spot and selected it as a health resort, and the place has continued to keep up its character. It has a most salubrious climate, low wooded hills sheltering it from the north. It lies in the centre of a great curved bay. There are farms of violets, roses, orange, tuberoses, jessamine, and oasia, and a trade is done in these flowers.
