THE KING. WINDSOR, •SEPT. visits to the Castle latterly have been very frequent. Scarcely a day passes but what he arrives in his pony phaeton, and spends an hour or two in the inspection of the alterations of furniture and other improvements. Yesterday the Eaxl and Countess of CLARENDON, and the Hon. Mr. 'and Mrs. A. STANHOPE, arrived at the Royal Lodge on a visit to his MAJESTY. Yesterday afternoon, at half put two, the KING, accompanied by the Earl of CLA REN DON, in his pony phaeton, left the Royal Lodge, fol lowed by the Lord STEWARD and Sir F. WATSON, in a single phaeton ; the Countess of CLAREN DON, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. ARTHUR STANHOPE, arid Sir ANDREW BARNARD, in a close carriage, with the usual escort of outriders. His MAJESTY, on leaving the Royal Lodge, proceeded by the usual route direct to the Castle, where he arrived at a little before three o'clock, and was met by Sir JEFFREY WYATVILLE and Mr. AITON, agreeably to notice, for their attendance, in order to the placing of various statues and busts in the extensive and elegant parterre fronting the east view of his MA JESTY'S suite of apartments, in which his MAJESTY, with his usual elegant taste, after the inspection thereof, directed the placing of them. (The busts and statues were brought from Hampton Court.) On the ar rangement of which, his MAJESTY and the Royal party left the Castle, and returned to the Royal Lodge, where they arrived at half-past five o'clock, and at seven o'clock the KING honoured his distinguished visitors and Mem bers of his Household with his company to dinner. Lord and Lady MARYSOROUGII had also, by invitation, the honour of dining and passing the evening with his MA- J ESTY. The Royal band were in attendance, and played during the evening. The Earl and Countess of CLARENDON, and the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. A. STAN HOPE, it is expected, will continue their visit until Monday next. PRINCE LEOPOLD'S LIBERALITY. TO THE RIWITAMF? THE STAR. is atilionaire Rat en aware saes St a,—lt must be very gratifying to so economical a personage as the PRINCE LEOPOLD OP SAXE COBURG, to find, that though he, himself, does nothing to earn the trifling income of Fifty Thousand Pounds per annum, which LORD CASTLERRAOII did the people the favour to settle upon him, yet that he has at last found active employment for his amanuensis ; and truly, if Sin RO BERT GARDINER do his duty in this new department, he will find the defence of the PRINCE'S liberality no sinecure. As every mark of respect paid by his Royal Highness to the memory of his Illustrious Consort, the late PRIN CESS CHARLOTTE, must be gratifying to the nation of which she was the idol,--and every tribute of his grati tude endear her " lonely lord and desolate consort" to " had width loved leer as, that sass meld love bet beet," perhaps SIR ROBERT GARDINER, now that he has so satisfactorily disposed of the " pension and poverty" affair, would be so obliging as " to make inquiry into the truth of a statement" touching certain jewels, mode by the express orders of her Royal Highness, and which were in her possession at the time of her ever-lamented decease. It is said, that when the eminent jewel who had executed the commands of her Royal Highness, pre sented their account, in the due course of business, " POW' LEOPOLD," who, as CHARLES PHILLIPS told us in " The Lament of the Emerald Isle," was " alone with misery"—(very miserable company certainly)—and whose only consolation consists in saving all be can of his dear " fifty thousand," and adding to his store by the sale of the rabbits and cabbages of " Claremont's bower"— magnanimously refused to pay the bill, unless the jewels were taken back, and the actual charge deducted from the amount ! If this be not Princely, then is LEOPOLD not a Prince. For Royalty's sake—for the sake of all that is liberal, gentlemanly, or even decent, I should be happy to think that such highly honourable tradesmen as those employed by Her Royal Highness, could enable Sir ROBERT GARDENER to " acquaint" the public that this statement also "is entirely without foundation." The testimony of such respectable and upright characters would at once carry conviction with it, and attach that credit to the assertion of the Prince's Secretary which it certainly has not obtained in the case of Mrs. SARAH ICON.Ht In the present day of retrenchment, what a pity it is that so experienced as economist as Prince LEOPOLD cannot be induced to take office under THE GREAT CAP TAIN—what a Lord of the Treasury he would make!— or Store-Muter-General—or Keeper of the Privy Parse! —or Chancellor of the Exchequer ! With such a financier JOSEPH Hum E'S occupation would begone! Seri* IC JOHN OLDHAM. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE left their re sidence in Bushy Park yesterday morning, for Brighton, where it was expected their Royal Highnesses would pass the night, and this morning embark in a steam packet for Dieppe, at which town it is expected their Royal Highnesses will be joined by the Duke of Mete EN o EN, the brother to the Royal Duchess.

The latter, it is said, consi ders himself now in the situation alluded to, but Sir George demurs to the proposed relinquishment of his Senatorian honours.

Great discontents prevail amongst the subordinates, in consequence of what they conceive to be the extreme rigour of the regula dine, and the onerous and unremitting duties imposed upon them for what they designate an inconsiderate and inadequate remuneration. Too heads of their alleged grievances are several ; first, they complain of the complete monopoly of their time both by day and night; second, their not being permitted a momentary relaxation from one year's end to the other, for even whew of duty they must be in a precise spot, where, should soy emergency arise, they may be found on the. instant ; and their third source of murmuring arises trout being obliged at the outset to pay for their clothing. and their being placed in a worse situation than many of their companions, some of whom are pensioners from the Army ► enjoying an addi tional inmost.

We have much pleasure in being able to state that the CeWatley of the Ist Reg:asset of Life Guards. vacant by the death of the Carl of Harrington. has been given to Viscount Comber. mete. G.O B. The appointment could not be conferred on a more distinguished Seer, or one who patsies in a more eminent degree the esteem of the army. Of an ancient and illustrious family, Sir Stapleton Cotton added to its lustre by the brilliancy of his services at the head of the British cavalry in all the Peninsular campaigns. In most of the glorious victories which, after saving Ponugal and Spain. ultimately rescued the Continent from the grasp of France. his gallantry greatly con tributed to the triumph, and not only gained him repeatedly the thank, of Parliament. but the title of Wrest Combermere isn 1814, which in 1828 was raised to that of a Viscount. Since peace has been restored in Europe, the services of the Noble Lord have not been less active. ♦fter holding with great credit to himself the high Ake of Cammander•in•Chiet in Ireland, be was appointed on the 91st Dec. 1811. Commander of the Forces in the West Indic., where he served till the Bth Feb. 1821. On the 14th March. 1825, he received the appointment of Cummaader•io.Chkf in as Nast Indies, and personally commanded the army at the sanguinary assault and brilliant capture of Bhunpore.tbe sewed impregnable fortress, on the 19th of Jemmy, 18211. Among the many votes of Parliamentary thanks with which this gallant Meer has been honoured, we mien those which he received for his conduct at the battle of Salaam", ass specimen of the eloquent manner in which public gratitude used to be caromed during the war far public ser vices. They were delivered on the 9th of March, 1813, by the Right Hon. Charles Abbott. Speaker of the Hoops of Commons : " Lieut.-General Sir Stapleton Cotton, " In this interval between the active seasons of war, your pro per sphere of duty is within these walls; and we hail, with pride and pleases e, your return amongst us, bringing with you fresh marks of Royal favour, the just reward of fresh services and triumphs. " Descended from a long line of wanton, whose names are re corded in the earliest ages of our history, and characterised with those qualities of prudence. generosity. and valour. which have laid the foundation of English greatness, your race has eautsited many a model of that splendid worth which dignifies the gentlemen of England—always prompt to discharge the laborious device of civil life, and never slow to take up arms at the can of their country.
