London, March 6. An expression of the Bishop of Osnabrug's,
when Jonas, the slight-of-hand man, was lately diverting the
royal children, is talked of with much pleasantry at St.
James's. Jonas, it seems, had exhibited many dexterous
feats, with which the children were highly delighted; at
last the Bishop, bursting into a loud laugh, exclaimed,
"Why, Jonas, I fancy you could conjure peoples heads away;
and if you will only take off my brother George's, who
stands greatly in my light, I shall be highly obliged to
you."
