AN ILLUSTRIOUS PERSONAGE AT BRIGHTON.
—Every thing goes on in the King's residence like clock-work.
His Majesty does not rise at a very early hour, but he has marked
out for himself a course of employment, different from that which
in his hey- day engrossed his thoughts. Immediately after break-
fast he engages in public business, and this be executes with won-
derful despatch. He will then, perhaps, have Weston, his tailor,
in deliberation on some improvements in the Royal wardrobe.
In the article of dress his Majesty exercises the most' liberaJ spirit.
He has been known to order au alteration in one dress coat at the
expellee of twelve guineas. His eye detects at a glance any error
of which the tailor may be guilty. His Majesty does not entertain
much company, hilt a splendid dinner is every day provided at
half-past seven, and the King partakes of almost every dish.—
Two or three glasses of Sherry at dinner, and a few glasses of
claret after, are the extent to which he goes. On these occasions
his Majesty never speaks a word on political subjects. The drama
forms the chief conversation. At nine, the King retires for a short
time to his dressing-room, and on his return, several card tables
are in readiness. To those whom he wishes to sit at his own
table he says--" Come, a game of whist--Marchioness, do you sit
there—my Lord, you there—Barnard, there---come, now begin."
At a distance soft music is heard while the game proceeds. The
King is an excellent whist player—indeed, so great an adept, that
while he deals out the cards he often beats time to the band. His
patience is not, however, like that of Job ; if his Majesty's partner
happens to comet:'. a -nistake, his chagrin is very palpable, al-
though he never exceeds shilling points. At the conclusion he will
pay, or must be paid most scrupulously. He then retires.
