" Ah !" said Joe, when he had fairly got out, (for Joe
could be serious,) " how much yon people owe me. I have
flattered their vanity without their knowing it. They will
contrast their characters with mine, and find them—all! how
superior. I have awaked their sympathies, and that, too,
for their own virtues. I have awaked their virtuous indigna-
tion-7-the most pleasing of all our worser passions—and,
alas, the seldomest required. The antithesis produced will
give a most preponderating balance in their favour ; and mad
though my acts were, yet, in the recital, they will be magni-
fied a hundred fold. It will serve them a long time to talk
about, and perhaps this may cause them to caution their
children from being as great puppies in reality as I appeared
to be to them to-day. Well, it's of no use moralising, but
I do somewhat regret playing the fool once to-day, for cer-
tainly one of those young ladies we saw at Brighton ,was
very pretty : on my honour I should very much like to
know who they were. If ever I see her again—" Ha, ha,
ha !" " Oh, I am'quite serious." " Ha, ha !"

ANOTHER REGAL VISITOR-THE QUEEN'S

INSTRUCTOR.

For some months past the attention of the police on duty
at the palace, the servants therein, and of other persons of
greater distinction, has been directed to the movements of a
man (a German), who has never failed by day, and scarce

by night, to be 'Present when the Queen, and Prince Albert
left the palace. It appears from the information we have
been able to collect. that the man's name is Perthman. He

.11, abou

'nance has a haggard look, (acquired no doubt by sufferings
from penury), but it bears with it an intellectual expression
of no mean order. He asserts himself to be of respectable
parentage, to have been educated in the same college with his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, and to have obtained the de-
grees of doctor of civil and canon law, and he says that the
extensive study to which he devoted himself has consumed
all his means, and he left his country to obtain patronage.
Having written a Latin grammar (which he invariably carries
with him), he expected the prince, upon the score of their
being old school-fellows, we presume, to patronize his work ;
and understanding that her Majesty was but indifferently
acquainted with the classics, he desired to become her in-
structor. So infatuated did the poor man become, that at
last he imagined that both the Queen and Prince were de-
sirous of seeing him, and to be certain that he should not
have to blame himself for being absent when wanted, he
made it an invariable custom to go to the palace not later
than the forenoon. His inquiries were constant of people
about the palace as to whether he was wanted, or what
the royal pair had said of him. The unfortunate lunatic
would then post himself near to the marble arch, or at
the garden gates, and watch for the coming out of the royal
party to take their usual exercise. He never attempted
to address her Majesty or the Prince, or to make any mo-
tion beyond those of courtesy, which he performed with
all the formality and homage of a courtier. To such excess
of seeming loyalty and devoted attachment to the reigning
power did this lunatic carry himself that he did not fail to
follow 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 he was occasionally relieved by members of the no-
bility, and by several members of parliament, in the neigh-
bourhood of whose hall of oratory he would occasionally come,
and sometimes venture into the interior. There were repeated
instances of his going into coffee-houses, ordering refresh-
ments and going away withmit paying. The notice of the
government being called to the actions of this . man, who,
though up to this 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 consta-
ble who was intrusted with the warrant proceeded on Satur-
day morning to the lunatic's residence, in Panton-square,
Haymarket, and took him into custody, and conveyed him to
the station-house in Gardinees-lane, where he remained un-
til about two o'clock, when be was taken to the Home-office,
and examined before Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate, and some
of the members of the government. The examination lasted
till nearly six o'clock, when the unfortunate maniac was taken
by inspector Russell, one of the palace officers, to Bethlem
hospital, vhere he will be confined until some communication
can have been made to his friends in Germany.--Morniny
