The London correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette writes:
The public topic is Ireland, but the private
theme Il the Pfiuoe Of Walos. When the din
ner ls over, the ladies have retired, and the
gentlemel have resumed their places and the.r
WINE, his Royal Highness is sure to be very
soon and very thoroughly discussed. The old
rumors b,arlng upon his manner OF life are
rehearsed, and new ones are added. And, as
persons are frequently present on suca occa-
slons who speak that which they know, and
testify to that winch they have seen, the con-
yersation is not unfrequently OF very plquant
description. 0ne "has 1t from the veSy best
authority" that the heir apparent called upon
a certain very beautiful and brilliant nerlcan
singer; bat she, having recovered from the
startlement occasloned by the presence Of
such q visitor, maintained her composure end
seli-respect, emphas. .zed, perhap', by color
lug OF indignation. rhe company agree that
q VISIT by such visitor to such person could
have no grounds fol excuse, and could have
but one explanation. Another says the Gov.
ernor of - told him he felt great load OF
responsibility taken off when the Prince had
taken his departure; for while he wa, under
his care he dido know what scrape his Royal
Hlghness might indulge in; anda third informs
us that another earls daughter has gone to
Paris to cover her shame and the Princes
crime, and q fourth relates that the other Gay
one OF his maid servants said TO his wife:
"Missis is there anything the matter with
the Prince OF Wales 2"
80, because, ma'am, 'eard one man say in
the hOmnibus to another that he d better mind
or he'd get shot yet"
SO YOU see,' added the gentleman, "these
stories must be circulating among the lower
Glasses il they are discussed IN the 'busses.'
The same speaker continues: 81 recollect see
ing the Prince Of Wales aud II, Duke OF Edln'
burgh step up to group OF ladies' IN the b J.
tauic Ga, iens, and enter into conversation
with them without removing their cigars from
Their mouths. InGeed, they smoked right IN
the ladies' faces. Now, either the latter were
not ladies' or the former we're not gentlemen
WELL" says titled gentleman Of high sta
ton and character, ''one thing is certain. Eng
land will not tolerate another George Nv; A
lie ,ntous court IN this country would produce
o revolution. We have seen an end OF the
Georges as far as their wees are concerned.
but the Kings llcentious courses would be
moro covered now than in The time OF George
Nv, and 80, roweyer the people might suspect
they could not feel sure
"Don't you b.lieve It. With our freedom Of
speech, liberty Of the press. and popular Jeal-
ousy Of the privileged classes, there would be ne
keopiug the court yelad from the people. TheJ
would see through it and 20 through it with
out much provocation."
Such is the outline II dare not print any
more than the outlinel OF conversation
which is y conversation highly speciamentary
of what 10 talked oil over England, in din;
