A KBSUMK of the part taken during the yanr about to close by the Quosn and other roombera of tho royal family in aid of fotno of the principal metropolitan and other charities will, of course, intireat our readers. The Queen early in the year, gave her patronage to the People's Palaca, opened on the 2Sth of June by tho Prince and Prin cess of Wales. Her Majoety, accompanied by the Duke of Connaughc and Princess Beatrice, visited tho Liverpool Seamen.s Orphan Institution on the 14th oi May. Hollow-ay College, at Egham, was opontd on June 30 by the Queen ; who also during hor short stay in Kdinburgh last August visited tho Koyal Blind Asylum, when tho Duko and Diiebosa of Counaught wore also present. The Piince of Wales presidod on the Sth of may at the first dinner of the Gordon Boys' Home.; in the pntuo month accompanied the Princess of Wales, who opened the now wing of Queen Charlottes LyiDR-in Hospital Marylebone. Prince Albert Victor of Wales in the coureo of the year presided at the festival of the Infant Orphan Asylum, VVanetead ; at a meetiog at Portsmouth in aid of tho (iordon Boys' Home; and opened tho now Victoria Hospital. Burnley. The Duko of Connauirht in April presided at the festivat of the British Home for Incurables and in May at that of the Working Girte'Pro toction Sooiety; and also opsnod a grand bazaar tor the Royal Military Benevolent Fund.
