Ancient and modern languages, history, geography, sculpture,drawing, music, gymnastics, equitation, military manoeuvres and themanagement of arms ! All this work is pretty well for a child of tenyears old, and we are tempted to inquire, pray does his young ImperialHighness ever have a game of play ? All work and no play may havethe same effect on Louis, as it has on Jack; and we will wager thatthe Prince would grow up all the wiser if he had a game of rounders orof foot-ball now and then, and if he were allowed sufficient leisure oncea week or so to suck a lollipop in NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY. Sir, I have a complaint to make against the National PortraitGallery. I heard from my Nepheu Thomas, that one of the bestpictures was the likenesses , of James Earl of Douglas and Ma,both, like a couple of twin cucummers, in one frame. There is afac-simmery of the noble Earl all by himself, but no Ma; this oughtnot to have been advised in the public Calagog, which contains thenames and tittles of the portraits. I was delighted with Old Whole Beanss picture of Sm HenryWyatt ; it was he that wrote the hims, wasnt it ? or was that thesteam engine man Watts ? There are also some fine things by Dike :I suppose hes from Brighton. I ve often been on holidays to theDike in a van, and I recollect well a man that used to sell stethescopicviews of the Sussex Range. Whole Beans painted too Sir John Cheke. I dont like his was Bacon hanging somewhere my nepheu said. I couldnt seeit; if I had I should have felt it my duty to make a former complaint. Ann
