The Earl of MUNSTER kicks at the place of Governor
of the r Round Tower at Windsor, and declares he won't set foot in it, ssuntil his dear, good, old father, makes the salary half as much :await]. It is a fine thing to be the son of a King and how much letter for dais nobleman to have followed his father's line of - tininess than his mother's. He might at this moment have been ssbiggling with his manager about his part in the Haunted, instead --sof the Round Tower, and rebel log for an advance on his guinea a axeek, instead of throwing up a too good offer of 1,000/. per annum.
The Globe has entered into a most lugubrious defence of the -,good King's kind and generous disposition, and has enumerated a - long list of' benefactions to his children since his accession. It was - mot necessary, and is not prudent. It gives, the whole family a Regan and Goecril air. The young men seem always to have ' leen asking and getting, and the ladies and their lords are all put in the light of perpetually receiving "generous assistance." The
• .•catalogue of benefits always ends with "an excellent house." The - =eternal art of drawing excellent houses seems to have been - /en:lined in the family in great tbree.
