a. Royal romance which caused a Sensation in A'ictorian society is recalled by the death of Rear-Admiral Sir Adolphus Fitzgeorge, at his house m E'ccleston square, London, on December 17 . Sir Adolphus was the second son of Queen Victoria’s cousin, the Duke of Cambridge, and bis beautiful morganatic wife, Miss Sarah Louisa Fairbrother, the actress. The Duke, a grandson of George 111., had very decided views on the subject of arranged marriages, and defused to contemplate one or two suggested alliances.
