On Tuesday morning a sailor belonging to the
Royal Mail packet Trent fell from one of the masts on the
deck, a height of about 50 feet, and was killed. He has left
a wife and family.

The late King of Prussia seems to have been,
in many respects, a counterpart—though a refined one—of
our own James I. He had the same exalted notions of the
kingly power,---the same belief in the kingcraft as the first
of our Stuart sovereigns. True, that in place of Scotch
dogmatism and pragmatic self-conceit of the first James,
the chief characteristic of his mind was a kind of metaphy-
sical dreaminess. This only amounts to saying that he was
a German, in place of being a Scotch pedant. No doubt,
after all due allowance has been made for the different epochs
of history during which the two sovereigns lived, the Ger-
man was a man of more refined and cultivated intellect than
the Scotchman, and of a far purer moral life ; but in the
essentials of character they were the same. Had the Ger-
man been Rector of the University at Bonn or Heidelberg,
and the Scotchman Provost of Aberdeen, the probability is
that each would have acquitted himself respectably enough
of his duty in life ; but, as kings, they were decided failures.
