THE LATE DUKE OF CLARENCE.

London, Jan. 28

In a notification published in the Gazette the Queen thanks her subjects for their sympathy with the Royal Family in their recent bereavement. In a letter to Mr Mathews, the Home Secretary, Her Majesty expressed her deep sense of the loyalty and affectionate sympathy of her subjects throughout the Empire on an occasion which was sadder and more tragical than any misfortune which had ever befallen herself and hers, as well as the nation. It was an overwhelming blow to the nation, Her Majesty said, to lose so promising a Prince. It was rendered hard for his sorrow-stricken parents, his dear young bride, and his fond grandmother to bow in submission to the inscrutable decrees of Providence. The sympathy of millions had been touchingly and visibly expressed, a fact which was deeply gratifying and which caused her, on behalf of herself and her children, to express from her heart her gratitude to all. She had loved the Duke of Clarence as a son, and the sympathy evinced at his death would be a consolation to her. She had sustained heavy bereavements during the last thirty years, yet she earnestly prayed for health and strength that she might work the good and happiness of her dear country and Empire whilst her life lasted.

A well -known American artist resident in Rome relates that, while standing one day near the statue of Apollo Belvedere, she suddenly became aware of the presence of a country-woman. The newcomer, a well-to-do looking American woman, introduced herself as Mrs Haggles of Missouri, and then asked :“ Is this Apollo Belvedere ? ” Mrs H testified to the identity of the work : and the tourist then said, “ Considered a great statue? ” The interrogated lady replied that it was generally thought to be one of the masterpieces of the world. “ Manly beauty and all that sort of thing ? ” said the lady from the land of the setting sun. “Yes ” responded the now amazed artist. “It is said to be one of the noblest representations of the human frame.” *• Well ” exclaimed Mrs Haggles, closing her Baedekor, and with arms akimbo taking a last and earnest look at the marble. “ I’ve seen Apollo Belvedere, and I’ve seen Haggles—and give me Haggles.”—C.
