THE DEATH OF JOHN BROWN.
A London despatch says:—John Brown, was sent from Windsor to Lady Florence Dixie's to inquire into all the circumstances of her outraße,and what with the inclemency the weather and the mystification into which her ladyship plunged him, he took to bis bed and died. He had served 34 years in the royal household. His decease elicited from the Queen one of the most extraordinary tributes ever paid by. a mistress to a servant. The English public, long familiar with the exceptional position occupied by- John Brown, accept with gravity whatever the Queen has chosen to say, the newspapers treating his death as a public event, and publishing elaborate and eulogistic biographies. The French press insist that Brown was the Queen's adviser in domestic and State affairs, and indulge in some very equivocal and unfounded romancing, reciting numerous anecdotes, presumably imaginary, illustrating his behavior to British notabilities. — Star.
