The Queen Studying Hindostanee.

Queen Viotorla some time ago commenced studying Hindostanee, and her tut r declares teat she is a more apt pupil and knows a great deal morf of the language than the Sultan of Turkey, the head of the faithful. The Queen has several Hindoo servants in her household, and all her oonversa' ion with them is carried on in their native tongue, a fact which perhaps brings home to their minds that her majesty is indeed Empress of India. Victoria is so proud of her accomplishments in this direction that she is sending a contribution to the Christmas number of the Strand Magazine. It will consist of a letter sent to the Shah and the wellknown letter to the English people after the death of the Duke of Clarenoe, both of which have been translated into Hindostanee by the Queen *ud will be so printed in the magazine.
