His Royal Highness Prince Albert in a
Gev York Station House.

UoW YORK btetl0n douso'
LAST night very gentlemanly look
ins individual, dressed la militaire,
msds his apperan nee at the Fourth Ward
station house, and, asking for Capt.
Ditchett. informed that officer that he
was no less a messenger than Prince
Albert, tho husband Of Queen Victoria.
The captain laughed at the absurd idea,
but tho stranger endcavored by the most
palpsble means TO prove that his story
va: true in every particular. In his
conversation he said he had just arriv cd
from England, in one Of Gfinncll's
packet ships--,hat a revolution had
broke out in Europe, which obliged his
instant fight TO the United States. The
Queen, he said would soon follow him
in a vessel generously fitted out by the
cadets at Wool wich, for that purposc.-
Many suppose the stranger 10 be insane,
but his manner and mods Of conversing
preclude The possibility Of lunacy. He
also stated that it was his intention TO
throw himself upon the protection Of the
United States government, and make
this country his future home, and it was
for the purpose Of finding magistrate
before whom 10 declare his good inten.
tions. that he presented himself at the
station house. On being asked where
was the baggage that should accompany
such o distinguished man, he replied
that on the passage from England his
chests had been broken into, and all
that was valuable extracted. He was
perfectly sober when conversing, and
talked with as much nippancy about
court matters as il he really was the
Prince himself. The packet ship that
conveyed him thither, he says, brings
one days later news from Europe, as
tho Pacific sailed one day ahead Of his
vessel, and therefore lost all the great
news Of the downfall Of tho Victola
dynasty. So earnest was the stranger
in his protestations, that many who saw
him last night went away under the be.
