ANECDOTE of GEORGE the THIRD.

" Among the families residing at Pau during the period
of my sojourn in the neighbourhood of the Pyrenees was
that of a Hanoverian Baron. From the society of this
esteemed individual I derived much pleasure. The
Baron's early life had been spent at the Court of
George the Third, with whom he was an especial fa-
vourite, and many an anecdote has he told me of the 'good
old King's' eccentricities, and very sensible dread of
Charlotte.' Although, perhaps, somewhat out of place
in these volumes, I cannot resist the inclination to glean a
few characteristic incidents from the Baron's recollection
of their Majesties.
" George the Third, like Frederick William of Prussia,
had a great admiration of tall and handsome men, and
seldom selected an aide-de-camp or attendant who was
not in stature fit to be a grenadier. Possessed of
these essential qualifications, together with the advan-
tages of high birth, the Baron became the shadow' of
his Majesty, and, in company with another equally
well favoured countryman, attended him in his walks ;
no light duty, considering how very fond he was of
pedestrianism. On such occasions his Majesty, when he
met with any one who he did not think had seen the
Hanoverians, would immediately introduce them, preluding
the introduction with such expressions : Have you seen
these gentlemen before ?" Have you ever seen such
men ?' &c. &c. To be shown off in this manner was
sufficiently- annoying to my friend, whose companion, on
the other hand, enjoyed the distinction. The powers of
memory possessed by the Royal family of Great Britain
are proverbial. George the Third had never resided in
Hanover, yet the knowledge which he had of his subjects
there, and of their family history, was wonderful, so much
so that there was scarcely a single family of distinction
with whose history he was not to the full as well ac-
quainted as the family themselves were. The following
anecdote displays the goodness of his heart and the awe in
which he stood of his Royal spouse :—The Baron com-
manded a regiment of cavalry who wore the enormous
jackboots then in use. Somehow or other it entered
iato his Majesty's fancy to have a pair of these boots,
and lie accordingly applied to the Baron to have
them made by the bootmaker of the regiment ; and
had his measure taken. The bootmaker, either from
having little assistance, or anxious to do justice to his
Majesty's boots, did not finish them for some days ; but
so very eager was the King to have them that he never
failed each morning to visit the maker, and to inquire bow
they were progressing. When they were at last finished,
and he tried them on, they fitted so very well, and pleased
him so much, that, turning to the bootmaker, he
asked him if he bad a family ? Yes, your Majesty,'
answered the man, 1 have a wife and family in Germany.'
" Very well,' said his Majesty, giving him eight
guineas, send that to your family, it may be of benefit
to them.'

•` So delighted was the King with his boots that it was
his first desire to display them before the Queen, and, ac-
companied by the Baron, he made his appearance before
her. Strutting forward, and kicking his legs right and
left, he said, Well, Charlotte, what do you think of my
boots, arc they not beautifully made ?' her Majesty paid
the desired compliment, upon which the King whispered,
I gave four guineas for them.' "—A Summer in the
Pyrencss.

The Adam Lodge, chartered for Australia, has
been daily expected since Saturday ; nothing but the boiste-
rous state of the weather could have prevented her arrival.
She has since been chartered to take out young married men,
artisans, and their families, free of expense; and Dr. Osborne,
the Government agent, a native of Tyrone, and long resident
in the colony, has had as many applications as secure a full
compliment. To qualify themselves for a free passage, it
seems several young men contracted matrimonial alliances ;
but of these about ten have found that thereby they only have
linked themselves closer to home, as their helpmates, deter-
mined to remain at home " for better or worse„" positively
refuse to accompany them,—Londonderry Journal.
