On Tuesday a sentinel stationed on Windsor Ter race, near the nort r tower, saw a tall figure in black, slowly stalking towards him. The sentinel addressed it. but received • no answer, and ',he mytertous form continued to advance in silence.

This was an event which the Public were not prepared to expect, after the gratifying accounts with which, for soinf wteks past, every publication has teemed.
