From the World : — "Of all the wicked attacks on the Prince of AVales , the worst has been made within the last few days in a newspaper letter purporting to describe H . R . H . ' s life at Homburg . The writer says : ' French works on strategy and a huge pile of Blue-books always lay

on a chair by his side . ' The eggs which these books ' lay ' surely must be addled . The writer must be colour-blind . ' Blue ' -books ? Yellow is the colour always used by MM . Dentu , Charpentier , and the Librairie Nouvelle . % # - >

Bro . Lord Mayor , Sir Henry Isaacs , and his lady are spending the vacation at the Hotel Metropole , Brighton , where they purpose remaining for another four weeks . There will be no autumn ball at the Mansion House , and

the " functions" of the Mayoralty are to end with the Fruiterers' dinner . A great portion of the Memoirs of my Mayoralty is already in type ; it is dedicated to the members of the Corporation and the City Companies ; and Messrs . Kegan Paul have arranged to publish Sir Henry Isaacs ' volume within a few days of his vacating the civic chair .

Differences settled by arbitration in this way cause less harm and give greater satisfaction to the parties concerned . APPRENTICE . — -Don ' t write to us for information upon subjects better answered by the man who proposed you . D . ROGERS ( Cirencester ) . —A clever and good man indeed ,

but he never , we believe , thought much of Masonry , or rather Freemasons , and never entered a Lodge but once after his passing . AVe tried to obtain an article from him upon this very subject , but he wisely , we thought , refused to cast any strictures upon , a body of which he was a member .

" INNER GUARD . "—AVe can supply a certain number of the back issues only . The new volume starts with this issue . AVe intended publishing a summer number , and had reserved a romantic story for it , but circumstances changed our decision , and the story—denuded of its Masonic trimmings—has been purchased from us by the proprietors of a London illustrated weekly .

AA ^ ORSHIPFUL MASTER . —Repeat your question a year hence , and we will answer it , for we are never to be seen by personal applicants . You do us an injustice by thinking us benevolent . AVe're not . "BLUE PETER . " —AVe have forwarded your letter to the

secretary of the company , and will give his reply in this column . AVe know nothing of financial matters . 1477 . —It is not our fault , though we bear the blame . THOMAS OSWALD , H . J . J ONES , THOMAS MATTHEWS ,
