As the Salic law prevails in Helgium, excluding females front the throne, the Kingdom would to in serious danger of civil war should young Albert die ;im! King Leopold also. Leopold, however, la not yet an old man, and is in f.iirlv vigorous health. Owing to the near re", latiotiship of King l.eiqmld to Queen Victoria, aristocratht gossip is rather reserved on the subject of Hamjojn's death, but in quarters not so miu-h feeted by court intluciicc. the opinion is freely uttered that it is a rejetitin of Prince ltudolph'scasc.and another instance of the growing disposition ionim;' the younger members of royal lions to break through the trammel of pou(p and form and fall in love with whom they please. King Leojwdd. it is .said, although generally indulgent aliki p his children and relatives, undertook personally to break up an attachment which Prince Itaiukiin hud for a lovely pletoian employed ill training theyoun Princess Josephine. The attachment was discovered only recently, although an intrigue had toen going on for over a year, and a Prince is sakl to have toen torn who will never figure in the list of the royal fiimily. Prince llaudoiti, it is said, actually shocked the royal house hy proposing to marry the woman beloved, even at the cost of forfeiting his princely position, and following the example of Prince Oscar of Sweden, who threw tip his princely titles to marry Mis Mik. Hut King Leopold would not have it.

The greatest excitement prevails in Brussels, where the populace were already very much aroused over the agitation for universal suffrage, ami it is believed .that the ability of the government to resist the radkml demands will be seriously 'weakened by the royal, misfortune, as Daudoin was popular.
