A LUNATIC VISITOR TO THE

QUEEN.

For some months past the attention of the pollee on
duty at the Palace, the servants therein, and of other per-
sons of greater distinction, has been directed to the move-
ments of a man (a German), who has never failed by da.
and scarcely by night, to be present when the Queen and
Prince Albert left the Palace. It appears that the man's
name is Pathman ; he is a German by birth, is about 38
years of age, and asserts himself to be of reap. ctable pa •
rent ,ge, and to have been educated in the same College
with his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and to have ob-
tained the degrees of doctor of Civil and Canon Law.
He says that the studies to which he devoted himself have
consumed all his means, and he left his country to obtain
patronage. Having written a Lain Grammar (which he
invariably carries with him), he expected the Prince would.
p •
atronise his work; and understanding that her Ma-
jesty was but indifferently acquainted with the classics,
he desired to become her instructor. He has made
it an invariable custom to go to the Palace in the forenoon
His inquiries are constant of people about the palace as to
whether he was wanted, or what the Royal pair had said of
him. He then ports himself near to the marble arch or at
the garden gates, and watches for the coming out; of the
Royal party to take their usual exercise. He has never at-
tempted to address her Majesty or tbo Prince, or to make
any motions beyond those of courtesy, which he proffers
with all the formality and homage of a courtier. He
has followed the Royal cortege to Windsor, to Ascot, to
Epsom, to Claremont, to the Opera House, and even to
parties given by the nobility. The police were well aware
of his residence, but how he lived was not to be ascertained,
except that it was known that he was occasionolly relieved
by members of the nobility and by several Members of Par-
liament. The notice of the Government being called to the
actions of this man, who though up to that time had been
harmless, but who might eventually commit some outrage,
an inquiry was instituted on Friday last at the Home-office
as to the state of the man's mind. Both the inspectors of
police at the Palace, their men, and several servants were
examined, and the result was the issuing of a warrant for
his apprehension. The police constable who was entrusted
with the warrant proceeded on Saturday morning to the
lunatic's residence in Parhon-square, Haymarket, and took
him into custody, and conveyed him to the station-house in
Gardiner's-lane, where he remained until about two o'clock,
when he was taken to tke Home-office and examined before
Mr. Hall, the Chief Magistrate, and some of the members
of the Government. The examination lasted until nearly
six o'clock, when the unfortunate maniac was taken by In-
spector Russell, one of the Palace officers, to Bethlehem
Hospital, where he will be confined until some communica-
tion can have been made to his friends in Germany.

aisles, in celebration of the christening of her infant daughter,

" Speculators, said Napoleon, '' trace their
schemes on paper ; fools read and believe them. All are bob-
bling about general happiness, and presently the people have
not bread to eat : then comes a revolution. Such is usually
the fruit of all their fine theories !"

The Duke and Duchess of Somerset have been
placed in mourning by the death of Mr. John Shaw Stewart,
High Sheriff of Stiriingshire, who was brother of her Grace.
The demise of the above gentleman will oblige the Duchess to
give up all in'.entions of a fete at Wimbledon this year.
The Bishop of St. David's is now in much bet-
tor health than fur some weeks past, and has taken Hollymount
House, Malvern Wells, the mansion which the Queen, when
Princiss Victoria, occupied when at Malvern.
A CHILD LOST AT FAIRLOP FAIR.—On
Fridiy, Mr. Goodehild, a butcher, in Newgate-market, en-
trusted his daughter, about twelve years old, to the care of a
relation, residing at Avely, who hippened to be in town with
his horse and cart, and was to convey her from his house at
Avely to a relative at Rochford. On his return from town he
thought he would take a ride with the child to the fair, and
whilst there he left her in the care of a stranger, in one of the
booths, while he went to look after his horse; on his return he
could neither find the child nor the person with whom he left
her; and after walking about nearly the whole of the night in
search of her without success, he returned to the parents of the
child. The mother, almost heart-broken, accompanied him to
the fair, made inquiry of all the police, and searched every
tent in the fair and neighbourhood, but in vain ; the poor
woman was in Romford in the afternoon, making inquiry for her
child, almost in a state of distraction.

The Bishop of Ely voted with the majority for
retaining Dublin in the Municipal Bill.
SUPPRESSION OF BARTHOLOMEW FAIR.—
Operations for the gradual abolition of the dangerous and dis-
gusting nuisance of Bartholomew Fair are to commence im-
mediately, in accordance with the suggestions in the report of
the City Solicitor.

SOMNAMBULISM.-About one o'clock on Mon-
day morning Mrs. Goddon, of Tippen's Farm, Pembury,
thought she heard some one getting into the house. On ac-
quainting her husband with her suspicions, he immediately
arose, and, on opening his chamber window, distinctly heard
some one below. On inquiring Who was there ?" he was
astonished to her his own son, a child of about nine years of
age, exclaim, " Father, lam out in the garden." His father
was quickly with him, and, on taking him again to his bed, dis-
covered the chamber window open. It is evident that the child
must have got out of bed and walked to the window, opened it,
and got out of it in his sleep. Whether he fell from the win-
dow into the garden, or let himself down in any way, is un-
known. We are happy to say he has received no injury. It is
thought he was in the garden upwards of an hour, as about that
prtv,..usly a noise was hoard. Ile has once since caulked
in but o d not cat out of Lie chalabcr.—S.usscx
