A correspondent sends us the following The character of Prince Albert Victor, who has been ey ently taken away, was one likely to be so little known, that ts made upon him by an officer of the Tenth Hussars may be of interest to the genevalreader. "To begin witl,," said he, "the Prince is a thorough gentleman from the crown of his head tothe tip of his tues, Tes nothing to say of him he could nut ungentlemanly action or say an ungentle-mauly word, for be could not think an ungentlemanly thoughe even if he tried. His ove desire is always to do the right thing, and no one is more pleased than he when he has succeeded. For he feels he never can come up tu hisfather's standard, being physically so weak, When he joined the Tenth we all thought we had got hold of muff of a prince, but we soon found out our mistake when he came in second in" regimental steeple chase, for if there is one thing the Tenth think they can do better than other people it naturally is to Fide. Of course, as everyone knows, The Tenth don't dance.' We never have danced, and we don't dance wow. Bur we flatter ourselves we can tide, so when Cullars and Cufia, as people would call him, came in secund we bean to realise what stuff he was mare of. But I was shocked to see how weak he was. Coming back from the races with the Prince, and in the sxme railway carriage with him, [looked across at him fast asleep, and could have thought he was a dend man, he was so completely done up, and yet we had done nothing but lounge about. He felt always it was impossible for him to come up to his father's standard, and stood in great awe of him. On the other hand he adored his moth Ikuow there have been bad reports xbout him, They are false as possible. I don't say was clever or brilliant; he had grent ficulty even in learning his drill; but he was a thorough gentleman through and through." This was all said last summer, and gives " very touching outline sketch of the young man who wx ty have married the lovely Princess May next month, of only he had not died.
