1 THE EINb. WINDSOR, Nov. ft—Divine Service was this mom I n g-performed at his MAJESTY'S private chapel by the Res. Mr.SZYMOOR. His MAJESTY'S Suite and House- Loyd were present. - - His MAJESTY'S carriage was in attendance this after noon at the Royal Lodge, about two o'clock, when the KING lett, accompanied by the Lord Steward, for an airing in the Great Park. His MAJESTY is expected during his absence to visit the Castle. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, his MAJESTY ar tived at the Castle in his close carriage with his usual attendants, and was met by Mr. WYATYILLE at the private entrance in the quadrangle. His MAJESTY pro ceeded to the east front, and inspected the entire suite of rooms, after which he visited the Corridor, where he remained until nearly five o'clock, when he took his departure for the Royal Lodge, and at seven dined with his suite. There are various rumours respecting the day on which his MASisaty swill take up his residence at the Castle this week. The rooms are now ready for oecu• pancy ; and from the preparations making, the day cannot be very fa. distant. WINDSOR CASTLE. THE KING'S PRIVATE APARTMENTS. The KING'S private entrance opens upon a double staircase of solid oak, which is covered with deep scarlet cloth, and is lighted by one brilliant lamp; it communicates with the winding Corridor, round which are ranged the Royal Apartments—those of the KING being on the east side, while the QUIENIS and the Dake and Duchess of CLARENCE'S occupy the south. With the coup (cell of the Corridor I was exceedingly struck on entering. It embraces the eastern and southern side of the quadrangle, an its walls are adorned with por traits of the most celebrated characters in the history of the country—where the hero and the stattsman, the living and the dead, find an honoured and appropri ate place in the Palace of their Sovereign ; among them may be enumerated the celebrated Round Table, the Grand Falco, er, Duke of St. Albans, going out hawking; busts, by Chantry, of his late Royal High ness the Duke of York, Duke of Wellington, &c. The antique Cabinets here are of the most splendid descrip tion, particularly those dented black ebony, formerly possessed by Wolsey—these rare specimens of art are set Lff by a magnificent carved and gilded ceiling, in architectural accordance with the style and majesty of the building; and when viewed by the aid of numerous and superb candelabra—two of which are placed at each of the doors leading to the royal apartments, and two opposite—produce a magnificent end Almost magic effect. The bed room is crimson; the drapery of the bed a rich deep scarlet fluted silk; and she bed itself the one which was made for his Majesty, when Regent, by Mr. Morel ; adjoining the bed room is an ante room, in which are his Majesty's hot and cold baths. The breakfast room is of rich blue silk, and adjoins the bed chamber; next to which is the pages room,which is taste. fully furnished, and fitted up with neat chintz furniture. The King's private drawing room, if I may so call it, communicates with the above, and differs very little from that of any private Nobleman; the prevailing co lour is green, the material damask silk, with a yellow if fringed with gold ; chairs, rose wood, with green damask silk cushions and back's. From this apartment you enter the Library,from which commences a scene of splendour consonant with the dignity and station of England"' Monarch. The drapery covering the Walls is a belbeful rich green damask silk, fringed With gold ; the curtains, of the same material, are tastefully ar-. ranged round each window, which is filled with superb plate glass of large din ensions, while the gantlets of the private doors are fitted up with looking-glass. The Library communicates with the Drawing Room by two magnificent folding doors, and these rooms, when viewed together, appear to vie with each other in grandeur and richness of effect. The furniture and drapery of the Draw ing Room are of a deep coloured scarlet damask silk ; the beauti ul marble chimney piece and its columns are chisseled in basso relievo, and have a particularly pleas ing effect ; the carved and gilded ceiling are very rich —I would say, almost too rich:—and from it are suspended three superb gold chandeliers, presenting one mass of burnished gold. Each of those chandeliers, it is said, cost two thousand guineas. In the centre of this room is a magnificent Gothic bow window, cm :banding views of the Park, the village of Datchet, the Surrey Hills, and toe surrounding ci untry. From the Drawing Room Ton enter the Dining Room by two white folding doors, with pannels tastefully orna mented with rich gilding, and affording a pleasant re lief to the eye from the surrounding brilliant colours. On entering this room, you are immediately struck with its magnificent proportions, as compared with those already enumerated. The drapery and furniture are of crimson damask silk, fringed with gold, and the ceiling, although not so richly carved as that of the drawing room, yet its compartments have perhaps a better ef fect, and are more strictly in unison with the style and character of the building than any of the preceding apartments. From this room two gland windows corn. ,nand - extensive prospects, the one to the east and north east ; the north, overlooking Eton College with its ig Antique Towers," the rich vale of Buckingham, the adjoining counties, _ and the course of the majestic Thames rolling its mighty stream at the base of the Castle— No seas so rich, so py no banks appear ; No lake so gentle, and no spring so clear; Noe Po, to swell the fabling posts' lays, While lad along the skies his current strays, As thine which visits Windsor's fam'd abodes, To grace the Mansion of our earthly gods." The Private Dining Room leads from the last apart ment, and is of an octagon form, situate in the Wyat 'ifle Tower—so called from its having received the appellation from his Majesty, in compliment. to the architect: the drapery and hangings consist of deep scarlet cloth ; the furniture is composed of polished oak; the dining table, of A mboyna wood, stands in the centre of the room ; it is of a circular form and on an entirely mew principle, so that from the exterior of the circle its size may be increased or diminished at pleasure ac cording to the number of the guests. This room closes', die suite of his Majesty's apartments.—The Music Room is of an octagon lorm, and is immediately behind the drawing roam. It is of ample dimensions, and admir ably calculated, from its form and structure, for the purpose of conveying sound. The carpets throughout correspond in colour with the hangings and drapery I f the several apartments to which they belong, and are, without exception, of the Axminster manufacture.—A description of the Q.ieei.'a Apartments, and those of the Thke and Duche.s of Claience, shall be given at a future opportunity. I cannot help noticing here, boa - ever, a beautiful Mosaic Table, in the Q,:een's Apart ments—the first and only .one, 1 believe, ever made by an English artist—the King, all along, having ex pres,ed a desite to have-ever, thing of putely British manufacture. CIUMNEY SWEEPS, OR CLIMBING BOYS. it frequently happens that those who labour earnestly for the attainment of objects of doubtful utility or of distant accomplishment, overlook the immediate re. duction which might be made in the every-day griev ances of their own sphere. Such, we are afraid, has been in some degree the case with the plans proposed for ameliorating the condition cf the climbing boys— those shivering urchins who appear to be separated from the affections and amusements of their age, and shuffle along our strrets a butt for unthinking derision rather than objects of compassion and sympathy. We have been led to these remarks by the perusal of a pamphlet just published by the Society for Super ceding the Necessity of Climbing Boys. This Society is under the gracious patronage of his Majesty, and the Right Rev. Lord Bishop of Winchester is the President. They have established improved machines in nearly SO towns and villages in England; and the testimonials from those places, with the Reports from Gentlemen connected with the Assurance and other public Offices in London where the machines have been, and continue to be employed, are highly satisfactory as to their effi cacy and superiority. The funds of the Society, we observe, are at present insufficient to admit of such an extension of the mechanical system as would materially aid the reduction cf the cruel and loathsome degrada tion of children. But we cannot belteve that a society which has been pursuing its unostentatious and truly humane object with so much perseverance will be ne glected in an age which seeks to characterise itself by diffusing intellectual improvement. With this feeling we recommend the pamphlet and the cause to general 'perusal and support. THE ARMY. --40.-- , mut 1111 mum: cusomem, Nov. 111.

Aristeo, strived born Vera Cruz and Tampico on Sunday, with specie and cochineal, together of the value of 800,0001. on met. chants accounts. She sailed from Vera Cruz on the 24th of August. The Mexican Commodore Porter had struck his broad pendant, and disbanded the crew of the Asia, 64, without orders from his Government, be. cause he could obtain no wages for them; the con quence of which was, that some hundred English sailors were " turned adrift," and lounging about the streets of Vera Cruz. The Mexican navy, which was only a but then to that country, and nuisance to the commerce' of those seas, is now entirely disbanded. La Borde's squadron were lying at Havannah on the 7th August; they were all well manned, and in excellent order ; it was La Botde's intention to lay them up there from September till December—a period which he considers comprises the hurricane months. The Aurora sailed from Bermuda on the 15th ult. The Barhatn was re fitting there; the Druid had arrived from Halifax, and would shortly proceed to Jamaica. Vice Admiral Fleming was to follow in the Barham the early part of his month. The Menai, Victor, and Icarus, were on the Bar badoes station; Sidney and Magnificent at Port Royal. The whole squadron was heal'hy. The Au rora, on the 27th ult. in lat. 42 30. lone 36, fell in with the bask Hannah, Spence. master, f.om Quebec to London, steering for Vie Weltern Wands ; the latter having sprung a leak a few days before. She bore down upon the Aurora with a signal of diAtess flying; the crew were on the pqint of abandoning her when the Aurora Mee in sight. Captain Austen im mediately gave her in charge- to Litut. Stewart, who, with twelve of the Aurora's ship's company, were put on board of her, to bring her to England. Stie was brought in here this mot ning, and the mann-r in which this service was performed by Lieutenant Stewart, from circumstances attending the navigation of her since the Aurora parted company, is spoken of as meriting the `highest encomium. It is remarkable that during three years and nine months, the period the Aurora has been in commission,' two years and a half of which she has been serving in the West Indies, she has lost one man only by death, and that by consumption,and has had no more than three 1 1 or four on the list, for accide► ts. The ship's company are in a most efficient fighting order, every seaman bring as perfectly familiar with the musket and broad sword as with the gunnery exercise. Vice Adm . ral Fleming expressed his warme►t commendations at the disposition of every thing requisite for action — a paint of duty to which he particularly directs his attention. The Aurora brought to England Mrs. Erten, the Lady of the Chief Justice at Bermuda ; Capt. Campbell, late of the SlaGey ; and Colonel Dashwood (tate Consul at Xalappe), and Lady. She will proceed to Plymouth, when the wind will permit, to be paid off. Letters have been received from Rio de Janeiro, dated the 12111 of September. The Heron had railed on the 10th, with the Commissioners entrusted with the preli minaries of peace between Brazil and Buenos Ayres. The Ganges had sailed for Bahia. The Thetis and Cad mus were lying at Rio; the latter expected to be in England about April. The Sapphire was in the River Plate; the Tribune had not arrived. The Skipjack schooner, of one gun , commanded by Lieutenant Pulling, captured on the 2d August, while proceeding from Maracaibo to Jamaica, after a cunning fight of six hours, a Spanish brigantine called the In trepide, of five guns, and 27 men, with 153 slaves on board. The vessel and slaves were carried to the Ha channels, and immediately condemned by the Mixed Commission there. The slave vessel had sailed from the River Bonny on the 7th June, and was bound to the Havannah, or near it, with 343 slaves on beard, IW of whom, from ill treatment, bad feeding, and excessive filth, bad died on their passage, sad 18 more expired after she was in Lieutenant Pulling's pos.essiun, not withstanding as much attention as .possible, together with medical assistance, was afforded them. It is im• possible to describe the misery these poor wretches had endured, or to pourtray the gratitude they expressed on their capture at the efforts 1114 t were made to alleviate their condition. The Comet sloop is ordered to .be brought .forward at Plymouth, to be commissioned in a few days. The Champion, 18, Commander Velme, came into harbour on Tuesday, to be paid Captain Stirling is appointed to the Sulphur bomb, destited to the Swan River, on the West Coast of New flatland, with such settlers as may offzr to emigrate. .OWe company of some Regiment proceeding to India *lll embark in her, to be landed as a prottstion against the incursions of the natives. These troops will &use quaistly be relieved by others proceeding to the same destination. Lie**pant Newell, of the Alligator, is promoted to the rank of Commander. The body of the late Captain Canning still remains on board his Majesty's ship Alligator in this harbour, no instructions having yet been received from the family as to the disposal of it. The Alligator came into har bour on Tuesday. At Spithead—Melville,Aurora,and Russian squadron. In the Harbour—Victory. Briton, Madagascar, Pal. las, Challenger, Alligator, Champion, and Ferret.

Miller, Ralph Caldwell, William Barrow, Edward C.0d.1, John Henry Norcoek, Oswald Grenville Winfield, Henry Murray, Edward Allen Henry Walley, Richard Laud Warren, George Herbert, J. den Mitchell. The ship Mellish, with 170 convicts on board, and a part of the 63d Regiment as an escort, put into Spit head this morning, from foul winds. Si►e is bound to Sydney, and will sail as soon as it moderates. Thursday evening is at present fixed upon for the opening of Covent Garden Theatre. During the last week both Mr. KIMILI and Mr. FAWCZTT have been unremitting in their attention to the workmen. who have now entirely removed every part of the gas appa ratus. It is understood to be the intention of Government to divide the 4.000 Portuguese who are at Plymouth among differeot towns in tle west of England. The reason for this measure is said to be a consideration of the impolicy of allowing so large a body of foreigners (principally military) to be congregated in the neigh. bourhood of one of our principal naval arsenals, and a (ear that so large as admixture of foicign population might have an injurious effect oa he mire character. —A limes. lAdmitted.

Its object was t prove, from the subsidence of the waters of the sea, that there was a nece.sity for a further supply of water, which could only be et c:ed by another deluge; and it recommended that the dif. lerent Governments of the world should establish large .water•prnof receptacles in the tops of the highest mountains for the preservation of all the valuable te- cords now possessed by mankind.

Coax Ma aerr—The magnitude of the supplies, which have ex ceeded those of any previous week since barest, tog. titer with the admission of upwards of 400,000 quarters of Fortign Wheat at a duty of Is. p.r quarter, and the probability of a similar duty on any that may arrive for several weeks, have tended further to reduce this prices of aU free grain. Wheat is 2d. to 3d. and Oats full) hl. pee bushel below the quotations of the previous week. Some parcels 4 the former were a day or two sgo forced at a greater decline. but . at this morning's market there was rather more confidence, and the best Irish new Wheats were saleable at that quotation. Fnie heavy Oats are in fair request, but the inferior qualities as with difficulty disposed of at the above reduction. Flour is fallf Is. cheaper.— Indian Corn has also been sold at a similar abatement. l'rices of Barky, Beans, Peas, and Oatmeal are unvaried.
