The Queen's Will.
The Queen is about to make a new will. Her Majesty possesses an immense fortune. The estate of Osborne is at least five times A as valuable as it was when it was purchased ' by the Queen and Prince Albert forty years ago. The Balmoral property of her Majesty now extends over 30,000 acres. Clai-emont was granted to the Queen for life in 18(5(5, with roveision to the country ; and her Majesty purchased the property ontiiglit tlnee years ago for £78,000. Probably its inaiket value is not much under il/50,000. The Queen also possesses some pioperty at Coburg, and the Princess Hohenlohe left her the Villa Hohenlohe at Baden, one of the residences in the place. With legard to personal property, Mr Nield left the Queen over £500,000, and the property left by the Prince is believed to have amounted to nearly £000,000 ; but the provisions of his will have been kept a strict secret, and the documeut has never been " proved." The Queen must have saved a vast .sum out of her income, which has always been very well managed. Since the death of Prince Consort, th« general administration of the Queen'a private affairs has been confided to Lord If Sydney, who is a consummate man of business.—London Truth.
