PRIVATE SECRETARY TO THE THRONE.
(Continued from Paja 8)
"Good excellent General Grey" was formally installed as private accretary a month after the Prince Consort's death. It fell to him to issue the communique, Inspired by the Queen, explaining, when the people murmured at her deep and prolonged seclusion, that she could not undergo, "In addition to the incessant duties of government, the fatigue of State ceremonies which could equally well be performed by other members of her family."
Another remarkable communique, also from General Grey's pen, ap- peared in The Daily Telegraph on September 17, 1874, flatly con- -tradicting the current rumour that the Prince of Wales had contracted ¡debta amounting to £800,000. It
ran as follows:

peared in print to the effect that debts have been contracted by the Prince of Wales. It has been stated that Mr. Gladstone WIS requested to bring the matter be fore Parliament, but declined: that Mr. Disraeli was to be asked to do so, and finally that her Majesty had paid off these amounts. Mr. P. A. Taylor, the
member for Leicester, has even addressed hla constituents on the' subject. We are enabled to assert, that there is not a single word of truth in any of the above state- ments..
