Tho foreign correspondent of tho Boston Post says: For a Quccn and mothor so exomplary as hor Majusty of England, alio Las liad and etill has unusual domestic troubles. Kuinor haa it that her present journoy to the continent is not uneonnocted with the scandal which haa just startled London society apropos of Piinee Teek. Princo Teek ia one of those manyimpeon nious Germán Princea who have wou fortune by matrimonial allianoes with Euglish royalty. Sonie years ago he married the maturely blooming Princesa ILtry oí Cambridge, own CÖUsin to the (iueon, and sister, of tho Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief of tho arrny ; tho fair bride, who is as well known in America as in England, perhaps, for h?r exCeediug ponderosity, is several years the senior of-the Prinee. They have hitherto seen supposed to bo living in a state of unusual bliss, and several children have jeeu the issye of the marriage. But now comes the statement that, owing to ctrlain Lnfidelitiea on the part of Teek, the Princesa Mary proposes to suo for a divorce. The Queen hus posted off to patoh ho matter if she can - so " they say ;" but the fat Princesa will not bo pacifiod. Just at this time, too, minors rather derogaory of that scandalous old ruue, Prinee 3hristian, to wbom Victoria so cruelly sacrifleed her pretty daughter Helena, aro revived. You know how averse to ;his last marriage the Prinee of Wales was, how ho rofused to be at the wedding and seareely has spoken to Ohristiau ince ; also, how Ohristinn is hissed everywhere ho gons, and was, alniost literally peaking, hooted out oi the army. Theso iivo have dono moro to discredit thoEnglish royal family than all tho civil lists and sinecures that tëir Charles Dilke can bring to light ; f or tho ordinary British inind, ruminating at the inn over pots of beer, asks if his taxos aro going to supply the pookets of idle foroign princelings. who show their gratitudo by disgnicinthomselves and humiliatinfj their English wives bofore all the world.
