Its destruction would come most gracefully from our amiable Queen , and be a worthy offering to tiie manes of her much-loved uncle .
{ From the Wiltshire Independent ) The sweets and bitters of this life are ever mixed together , and royalty itself is no more exempt from the penalties of humanity than is the meanest subject . An account of the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex will be found in our columns , and with it a slight sketch of his character . Suffice it to say here , that as a public man his
loss is irreparable . He was an earnest and able defender of the rights of the people , and through good report and through evil report , and amid the cold and withering neglect of his family , and the persecutions of a profligate government , he unflinchingly maintained their cause .

In the fulness of years and honors , Adolphus Frederick Duke of Sussex has departed from among the living . As a scholar he was not undistinguished ; as a public speakerhe was effective . However wrong his politics may be
