The second king, still called King George Washington, is now about thirty, and a most noble specimen of the courtly Oriental gentleman. His tall, compact figure is admirably developed both for strength and beauty, his face is full and pleasing, and his head finely formed. He is affable in manner, converses readily in English, and is fond of Europeans and their customs. He keeps his father's palace and steamboats in excellent condition, and his body-guard under thorough drill. On a recent visit of the American steamer Moreton he came out on the battlements of his palace, and after watching her progress for some time, he signaled her to lay to, which she did just opposite his palace.

I sometimes think, Plantagenet, that I should have been the man, my skin is so thick; and that you should have been the woman, yours is so tender." "But it is not so." "Take the advantage, nevertheless, of my toughness. Send him the £500 without a word, or make Warburton do so, or Mr. Moreton. Make no secret of it. Then if the papers talk about it "
"I beg leave to enclose copies of two communications which I have received from Mr. Robinson on the subject. "I have, etc. Rumours of another similar occurrence existed in the settlements north of Sydney, about the same time. To the inquiries made on the subject, by the Government, the following letters refer. "Moreton Bay, Zion's Hill, 14th January 1843.
I can only say that it was not because your daughter might probably have money that I first sought her love." "It shall be so received. And now But perhaps it will be best that you should arrange all this with my man of business. Mr. Moreton shall be instructed. Mr. Moreton lives near my place in Barsetshire, but is now in London.
