The London Queen has the following gossip
about the King of Sweden and Norway:-"The
King has been on the throne about eight years.
and is now in his forty second year. He lives
principally at the Palace of Ulrchshall, little
distance from Stockholm. 1t is fitted with
articles of vertu, china and ceramic ware,
which the monarch takes great delight in col
lecting. When our Prince of Wales paid him
visit some years since, it was entirely re-
decorated, and many rooms fitted up expressly
for the royal guest, and they now remain as
they were then left. Very little state or eti-
quette is preserved by the Court and the
monarch travels daily down the Malar Lake to
Ulrichshall in the public steamboat like the
rest of the world, the only Difference shown
him being that the other passengers forbear to
crowd the end occupied by him."
