NAME OF OUR FUTURE KING
The two sous of the Prince of Wales, failing whom the crown would again devolve upon a female sovereign, a£;aiu a Victoria, started recently from Portsmouth, in the Bacchante, on a cruise round the world. It ia understood that tliey will visit Australia before their return. The journals have, for the the first time, devoted large space to the two Princes, wliusa lives hitherto Lave been comparatively retired. It is remarkable that so little do the people at large know o£ the older Prince, who will be so important a person to them, that they are not even certain of his name. Most people call him Prince Victor ; but the Times, after calling him at first Prince Albert Victor, slides mto the name used, we believe, on the .Britannia, and call him thenceforward Prince Edward. ID. 1 ward VII. would be the most historic name, but Vict< r I. the more separate, and, say iti A.D. 3000, the rnoro easily remembeied.—Spectator.
