SAYINGS & DOINGS IN THE ROYAL NURSERY.

We are enabled to assure our readers that his Royal Highness the Duke of

Cornwall has appointed Lord Glengall pap-spoon in waiting to his Royal

Highness.

The Lord Mayor, Lord Londonderry, Sir Peter Laurie, Sir John Key, Colonel

Sibthorp, Mr. Goulburn, Peter Borthwick, Lord Ashburton, and Sir E.L.

Bulwer, were admitted to an interview with his Royal Highness, who

received them in "full cry," and was graciously pleased to confer on our

Sir Peter extraordinary proofs of his royal condescension. The

distinguished party afterwards had the honour of partaking of caudle with

the nursery-maids.

Sir John Scott Lillie has informed us confidentially, that he is not the

individual of that name who has been appointed monthly nurse in the

Palace. Sir John feels that his qualifications ought to have entitled him

to a preference.

The captain of the _Britannia_ states that he fell in with two large

whales between Dover and Boulogne on last Monday. There is every reason to

believe they were coming up the Thames to offer their congratulations to

the future Prince of _Whales_.
