The Duke of Cumberland (says Truth) strikes me as by no means a wise duke in declining to accept the £16,000,000 thatare store up for him in Berlin, and preferring to maintain his " rights ',' of the throne of Hanover, for he may Vest, assured that under no possiblo contingency are these rights^ to be more than theoretical. Tho Duke who has.an income of about £20,000, is not to be despised. His father, the exking, died in the belief that Providence would interfere to restore to the House of Gruelph the throne of their ancestors. "I may not live to see it," he used to say, and iin which observation he was correct, "'but Heaven will never allow such t(n iniquity to continue, and my dear Crown Prince will be Kiug of Hanover."
