LIFE AND TIMES OF QUEEN VICTORIA. The Changes in Govern? ments?Development of ?oience aod Art. From Tbe Newa and Courier Victoria Alexandria wao born at Kensington Palrce, May 24, 1819 She waa the only child of tbe Duke of Kent, the fourth eon of George III. and the Princess Louisa Victoria of Haxe Coboorg Her parents, who bad been for some time residiog abroad, hastened to England jost be fore her birth in order tnst their child might "be born a Briton" Tbe ' Duko of Kent died a few months after i tbe birth of his daogbter, aod the genera) education of the young Princess was directed, nnder her mother's care, by the Duohess of Northumbeiland Until within a few weeks of her elevation to tbe*throoe, her life waa spent in comparative retirement, varied by toora through different parts of tbe United King dorn Qoesn Victoria sucoeeded ber node, William IV, Jnne 20, 1837, and her coronation was celebrsted in Westminster Abbey. Jane 28, 1888 00 February 10. 1840, she married Prince Albert of Haze Coburg Gotha, known in history aa "The Prince Consort," by whom she bsd nine ohildren. Prince Albert died in 1861, to the great and incoooolable grief of tbe Queen, vrbo cherished his memory to her dying day with the most profoaod devotion Tbe "Leaves from the Journal of our Life in the Higblsndt," published by Queen Vietoria in 1869 give a most inter esting view of tbe privato life of the Queen and her Princely husband ; aod the "Life of tbe Prince Consort," complied onder her Majesty's direo tion by Sir Theodore Martin, dis? closes a picture of domestic bappt ness rarely attained by the ocoopsnts of thrones Prince Albert was a man of strong mind and of a broad' aod varied onltore, and he left a deep impression upon English tooiety sod politics After his death the Queen withdrew very mnoh from public view, though she slwsys continued to manifest the deepest interest in all thst coooerned tbo welfsro of her people, and io the moral, sooial, in tellsotnal and artistic progress of the nation. In spite of her popolsrity she did not entirely escspe the usual penalties of greatness Her life was several times attempted by crazy fanatics (none of whom, however, was put to death for the tressousble crime,) and in each case she display? ed a royal courage and dignity. The political events of the reign which has just closed are of too varied and extensive a kind (o be eveu glsnced st in the present sketch When Queen Victorin sscended the throne eho found Lord Melbourne in office, snd nonw of ber prime minis 1 ters, except Lord Hoaconsficld, ever ! held so close a placu in her personal friendship as he did Sir Robert Peel, Lord lohn Russell, the Kail of Derby, Lord Aberdeen' Lord Pal |morston, Mr Gladstone, Lord Salis? bury, Lord Roeebery and Lord Salin ; bury again also at different times during her r?ign controlled the Government, and through all the striicH and vicissitudes of parti? s which tboaa changes of edulniatre lien Indicated, tin? Queen home her ee l witli singular tact and discretion Her knowledge of business was very remarkable, aod it ie elated on high authority that her personal attention was never absent from the adminis tralion of the affaire of State, and that while yielding entirely to the course of Oonatitutional Government, ehe impressed her own views and wishes very deeply upon the policy of her various ministers Knowledge is power, even in Courts and Cabi nets, and a sovereign whose mind ie a store house of political history and precedents necessarily affects, aod frequently in o very important degree, the aotioo of successive generations of ministers Thai Ibis influence in Queen Victoria's case hae beeo so judiciously and disoreetly exercised, is a striking proof ber political wie dorn What a wondrous ebsotssiooe Qaeeo Viotort* ssoeoded the throne What ohsoge* io the sooditioo of peoples.

Hazing Will be Stopped. Washington, January 21 ?The GougreesioDal committee that investi? gated hazing conditions at West Point will make a report tomorrow and recommend legielation which they believe will result in the aboli? tion of hazing for all time at the Academy. The committee will find that the inquiry developed that haz? ing hat been generally practiced, and that in many instances it hae been of a brutal character, and will also find that Booz was brutally hazed, bot vfill not ascribe bis death to the re suit of the hazing The majority of the committee favor a statote which will provide, not only for the ezpol eioo of a cadet who ia foood guilty of hasiog, bot a provision that a cadet expelled for each cause ahall not be eligible to reappolotmeot, and ahall be forever diabarred from holding Jo commission io the aimy of the Unit ed States.
