Majesty's Theatre.
A. correspondent of the Athencrum writes from
Munich :—" Apropos of King Ludwig, some more of his
peculiarities are exciting remark. He is much averse to
ladles wearing veils in the streets, and frequently Mope
thou who have their veils down to adjust them properly.
The other day he was seen talking with three belies in the
street which bears his name, and in which be takes a daily
walk, lifting up the veil of each one and laying it on the
top of her bonnet iu a way suiting the artistic fancies of the
patron of Schwanthaler and the friend of Thorwaldsen.
He then let them proceed, and, of course, all let their veils
down as soon as ho was out of sight. One would think that
in a town so little renowned for beauty, the wearing of a
veil might be considered a merit, and that the rash profaner
of it would often be punished by the sight of a second
Meduses bead. It seems King Ludwig once exposed him-
self to such a fate. He lifted the veil of an old lady, looked
at her face, and dropped it instantly, saying, ' Madam, you
are right.' "
VISIT Or His ROYAL RIOHNEDI PRINCE ALFRED
To BRlXTol.—Yesterday, we had one of thou flying
visits from royalty which, in these railway times, may
be ocesudorially looked for by cities and towns having
within them termini of those "roads of iron." His
Royal Higbee+. Prince Alfred, the second son of oar
gracious sovereign, who has been, as all the world is
doubtkes aware, on his travels beyond sea, arrived at
Plymouth yesterday in the Euryalus, sod, quite as anxious,
no doubt, as the mast ordinary of sailor boys to embrace
his paroeta, be lost no time in making his way
ward. A compartment of a first-elms amage having been
secured for him atid his tutor, he started fmin Plymouth
by the • I..dey vales... train, end pawing over the South
Devon and and Exeter lines, reached the Great
Western station at 2.4 p.m. No notice of the honour in
store for the old city having been given, the airival wee not
anticipated by any of our functionaries, and beyond a dozen
or two stragglers on the platform, and one or,two to whom
—ourselves--the as to electric telegraph had disclosed the
secret, there was no one there to meet or greet him. His
royal highness, who was attired in the undress uniform of a
British midshipman, looked exceedingly well. He hies an
open and intelligent countenance,_ which at once wins for
him the seaport of the beholder, and the cour-
teous and even elegant manner in which he ac-
knowledged the recognitions of the very few who had
sufficient good breeding to raise thoir bats to him, showed
that ho combines with the frankness of the sailor the polish
of a young English gentleman. At 2.30 the train again
started on its way, bearing with it the good wishes of all
who were in the secret, for its speedy swivel at its destes
make, and the safety of the gallant young prince. At
Bath no one seemed aware of his royal Mabee*** Prcieueet
excepting some half.aeore of his fellow-travellers (chiefly a
the gentler sex), who, not having been auoc,esful in the
attempt at Briatol, quitted their carriages for the nonce
just to have "one little peep."—Bristol Merry. ry.
