From the Albany {N. ~ Argus and .atlas,]
TIC heir Of the English throne is not
promising youth. He is unlike his princclY
and accomplished father, and already dcvcl-
opes apEetites and tastes that Indicate the
progeny Of that HanoFerian sly TINT gave
England the corrupt or inbecile Georges and
their coarse brothers.
He indicated some Of those tastes while
here, and they arc eaid to have rapidly grown
upon him Of late. They gave great solieitudc
since furnished theme to the loHdon Times
for some harsh admonitions.
Next November he will have completed his
majority, and will come into possession Of
ESQ. 600, tie savings Of his Cornwall ducly,
under his fasller's care. The Queen, his mo-
tEer, is giving way to degree Of des pondency
that Indicates mental disease, to which Lcr
FIRMLY is subject.
We copy from q letter in the Hcrd7d, dated
London, which has some scandal On this point:

I appears there Is some woman in town who
exercises great influence over him, aud once
or twice the Prince stole away from Mldden-

out. but not till the train had departed, waen q

Prince was somewhat surprised to find ut the
