Prince George is now in his twentieth year, and it is stated that he will remain at Gibraltar, visit Malta, and others of our possessions, so as to be absent two years, when he will receive her Majesty's hand. Our marriages of cousins have not always been felicitous; but we imagine that the Prince, who is particularly generous and good-tempered, will make a very comfortable companion for the little lady.--London Satirist.
