THE QUEEM " Kew Payee, Friday Night. • " Alter our dispatch was sent of, last night, the QUEEN became somewhat more at ease ; and Sir HENRY Hatronv, in consequence, took the oppor- ! tunity of visiting the Princess SorittA. Her MA JESTY after Wards sl6pt several hours, and it was ex pected, that she would have found herself relieved by this repose ; but when Sir FRANCIS MILLMAN visited the Royal Chamber, at eight o'clock this morning, no beneficial effect had been produced. " Sir III:sny HALFORD returned from Windsor between eleven and tweve o'clock this day, and shortly afterwards Sir FRANCIS MILLMAN went to Pinner, for a few hours. " The PRINCE REGENT arrived from Brighton, at six o'clock, accompanied by Sir BENJAMIN BLOOM !IELD, and after receiving the evening report of the Physicians, his Royal Highness remained to dinner with the PRINCESSES. " The Duke of YORK also visited the Palace, in the course of the day, but neither the PRINCE RE GENT nor the ROYAL DUKE saw her MAJESTY. She was too much exhausted to receive them. " The PRINCESSES again spent several hours on the lawn ; and gave a variety of further minor di rections to the workmen. " Their Royal Highnesses also received visits from the Dowager Countess of CARDIGAN, the Countess Of HARCOURT, and Miss BEST. " Up to seven o'clock, to night, her MAJESTY re mained without any amendment whatever, and, from her restlessness through the day, an unfavout able night was anticipated. " Sir UEXRY HALFORD only remains in attend ance, but Sir FRANCIS MILLNIAN is expected to join him in the course of the night." The following Bulletin was issued this day : " Kew Palace, October 24. " The QUEEN'S complaint remains the same. Her MAJESTY'S has had some good sleep in the night. (Signed) " 11. lIALFOILD." BRIGHTON, OCTOBER 23. The Earl of Y.tamour“ arrived here vesterd'ty, and dined with the PittNce REGENT. The dining and music rooms were lighted up, last night, for the purpose of his Royal Highness's inspecting them, and observing the effect of light upon the paintings. His Royal Highness was pleased to express his admira tion of the exquisite productions of the artists in the execution of their several designs. This morning, his Royal Highness was chiefly oc cupied in viewing the exterior progress of the build ings, accompanied by Mr. NAsit, the architect, and several artiAs. A survey has been made of the barracks along the coasts of Kent, Sussex, and Hampshire, for the pur pose of ascertaining their state for the accommoda tion of troops. The regiments quartered in these districts will therefore be removed, in order that the army returning from France may be quartered in the maritime counties, in preference to marching the re giments into the interior. The 9th Lancers and the 35th regiment of foot, now occupying our barracks, are expected to be removed. Yesterday, the lovers of field diversion expected, sport from hunting a French Fox, which had been purchased for the occasitm. The close confinement lof the animal, during his passage, and his subse quent custody in a bag, until he was started on an unknown land, prevented him from making a run of more than three hundred yards, before he was killed by the dogs and huntsman. The Duchess of DEVONSHIRE entertained a select party of distinction yesterday, at Warren's Hotel. The town and neighbourhood of Southampton have this season been more than usually enlivened with balls, concerts, sailing-matches, and every kind of gaiety. Among the leading assemblies of the place was the Concert of Mr. Sof,s, where the principal excellent performers were himself, SignorVeaceLt.t NI, i‘lrs. SALMON, and the celebrated harpist, Mr. BOCHSA. The evening's entertainment was attended by the first Nobility and Gentry to the number of nearly four hundred persons. In consequence of the prevalence of nudity, the old school denominate the first circle of boxes at the thea tre the un-dress, and not, as heretofore, the dress circle. Newmarket, which at the beginning of the Meet ings, wore but a gloomy aspect compared with for-i mer times, has fully recovered its brilliancy, spirit, and attraction. More company, and that of an ele gant description, has attended it than had bcen seen for many years. There was much sport and diver sion of various kinds. Mr. SNIITII, so long an orna ment of the London Stage, though in his 90th year, could not resist the enjoyment which the Meetings have so often afforded him. He was nearly 'seven hours in his chaiie f and was able to ride on the course. The Duke of ItuTLANb and G. WAT'SON, Esq. have been the greatest winners. DUMFRIES, OCTOklq: 21.—This is our race week, and there are a great many horses arrived; but from the melancholy state of the QUEEN'S health, we do not think therelvill be much gaiety among the Ladies dresses; indeed, we do not hear of many strangers. EXTREME Cacurt—Yesterday se'nnight, a dealer of Hookaorton, Oxfordshire, rode his pony to the Old Bell, Holborn, and back the following day, for a wager of 20 guineas, the distance being 160 miles' HUNTING. JOHN MAsisscr, Esq.'s Foa-liosmds met this day at Blue Anchor Turnpikes. IL Jcuir►s, Esq.'s Fox-Hounds met this day at Chaldon. The Sandersmd Harriers meet every day, at 4tennel. The Hatfield Hounds will nett on Monday, at Symond's II~de; Thursday, at Bower Heads; and Saturday, at Dow dells, at half-put ten.

NORTHER EXPEDITION.—The following informa tion is from Captain Mullin CAD, of the ship Larkins, respecting the Discovery Ships in Davis's Straits :•••• " Left the ice on the 23d of August, lat. 75. 32. N. long. 51. W. On the 18th of August we saw the Discovery Ships, rounding a cape, supposed to he in 76. N. lat. long. 52. W. at that time lie was in 75;4-6. N. (the farthest he had been this year), long. 51. 80. The Ariel and Everthorp, of Hull, were close to them, and had, no daubt, much later communication with them than he had. The Larkins remained fast to some ice from the 13th to the 18th of August : Captain MUMMA D observed a great deal of water to the N.W. and conceived, when the wind came off the land, that it would make a clearance for the *Discovery Ships to get much farther to the Noah ward, particularly as the ice was then breaking up fast. The weather was getting much clearer, and the frost taking, place in the night. Captain Mtn RII EA D appears very sanguine as to the ships succeeding, not only from what he has stated, but from observa tions which he made last year, when he got as far as 76. 15. N. and where he had a very heavy sea from the Northward, depending, i❑ Lis opinion, on a large track of water being in that direction : at that time (the Ist of August, 1817) he could not see any ice, nor did he find any until he got back to 75. 30. N. Captain MUIIMEAD found in lat. 76. N. eight points westerly variation. The Officers and men were quite . well when the Larkins last communicated with them. It may be remarked that the longitude here given is from that of Greenland, as laid down in the Charts, which Captain Ross discovered ten degrees too far to the Eastward—the real position of the ships on the 18th of August was 76. N. to g. 62. W.". • . _i 711BIfY. The evacuation of France iisay be siid trill.Trertf , ready commenced, as transponns arrived on Widnes day and the preceding day at Dover, with detach ments and the baggage of the 2d and 3-i Dragoon Guards, the 11th Light Dragoons, toe Sta,t Corps, the Grenadier Guards, the 4th, 39th, and 79th In fantry, and the Rifle Corps. The Barracks a,. Deal are preparing for the accommodation of 12(X) men, and the Royal Naval Hospital at the same place, for the reception of the sick of the army. The depot of the 52d Light Infantry is ordered from Canterbury to Plymouth, and will march on Monday next. It was the depot of the 39th regi ment, called in our Paper of Wednesday last, by an error of the press, the 29th; which, with that of the 4th, moved on Tuesday list, from Deal to Can terbury. The Barracks in Canterbury will be kept as open as possible for the passage and accommodation of the troops which may arrive from Fiance, but it is not probable any infantry regiments will be permanently stationed there, as it is the intention of Government, following up the wishes of the people, and for which, preparations are already made in every department, to disband immediately such regiments whether ca valry, artillery, or infantry, as are not intended for Iforeign service. . The Hon. Mr. STANHOPE, son of the Earl of HA R. RINGTON, arrived at the East-India House yestetday morning from India, with dispatches from the Mar quis of HASTINGS. The Ambassador from the Netherlands arrived yes terday at his residence, Whitehall-place, from a tour. The Duchess of. BUCCLEVOII lift town yesterday, for her scat at Richmond. Lord Jou!: !tussled. arrived yestorday morning at his father's (the Duke of BEDFORD'S) house. in Ha milton-place, from Paris. In the afternoon his Lord ship left town for Woburn Abbey. Lord Viscount VALLSTORT, the eldest .son of the Earl of MOUNT EDGECUMBE, is dangerously ill at the Earl's seat, at Mount Edgecumbe. At Hailsham market, on Wednesday, the stock, both in quality and quanriry, a> ''2zler than at Lewes, but commanded most extr,tva . rant prices.— Wether mutton, it is said, fetched full 6s. per stone. At Lewes Market, on Tuesday, lean Beef, and Ewe Mutton, at high prices, were the leading features.— Pig meat was also very dear. At Steyning fair on Monday, black cattle were seen in abundance ; bilt the prices were, nevertheless, by some unaccountable means, kept up to a high standard. Melton Cattle Fair commenced on Wednesday with a very extensive shew, tile beasts in the finest possible condition. Although prices were extremely high, so very rapid were the sales, that some of the largest droves of Messrs. Armstrong and Jollie were nearly cleared the first day, d s. 6d. Gc. and as high as is. per stone was obtained for the short horned breed. A Pennsylvania farmer states that the water in which potatoes are boiled, sprinkled over grain or plants, completely destroys all insects in every stage of existence, from the egg to the fly." A dreadful accident occurred to the Phenomenon Norwich day coach on Thursday—lt had not pro ceeded a mile from Bury towards Norwich, when the fore-axletree broke, and tha coach in consequence overturned with a heavy load of passengers : one woman was killed on the spot, a gentleman hid hit collar bone broken, and several others were severely injured. Wednesday evening, so early as between seven and eight o'clock, as Mr. MArrttrw Rowe, cf Adding ton-street, Manchester, was passing up Slade-hill, he was knocked down by two fellows opposite the of York public-house ; and, and notwithstanding the publicity of the situation, and the number of passen gers constantly passing, they succeeded in ro'Aing him of his pocket-boor, containing a bill for CA) and some loose cash, with which the; effected 'their escape, and have hitherto eluded detection. An outrage of a sir.gular nature took place last week, at Shenley Fair, a place three miles beycni Fenny-Stratford. One Sibthorpe, a farmer, being in a state of intoxication, proposed a game at pitch arid toss With Ctiok, the hostler of the inn ; the coudi bons to be, that the winner should cut the other': throat chance deciding in favour of Sibthorpe, he forthwith tripped up the hostler's heels, and with knife cut part of the skin from his throat, which blei profusely for a length of time, and reduced the mai to. a very weak state. Fortunately no very sezio; consequences are likely to ensue. Demons, says a French Journal, have re-appeared at E insidlieu (Canton of Schnitz) but their triumpl has been very brief. The operation of exorcism was performed in front of the chapel, and in the presence of numerous pilgrims. Out of three hundred ani three Devils which bad been influenced by the fine; of taking up their residence in the body of a woman, 300 were expelled without any difficulty. The three others, More tenacious, resisted for a long time, ant' only yielded after the most painful efforts, and the ar plication of all the powers of exorcism.!
