The preparations fur an enter tainment upon such an es terisi we scale, and the n u merous assemblage of visitors invited to be present, caused Windsor, its environs, and all the roads leading thereto, particularly that leading from London, to be thronged with company.

The splendid marquee which belonged to Tropes Saib was pitched for the accommodation of the ()neon, the Prince Regent, the other branches of the Royal Family, and their particular friends, who were honoured by being specially limit-4 to sit in the Royal presence and at their table. Some of the mar quees and tents were pitched among the elmster of shrub*, evergreens, Ac. which hail a most delightful effect. Tory were beautifully and tastefully ornamented with real and artificial dowers. The tables were splendidly and maenifirently covered with gold and silver services of plate, and every thing was served up in the first styli., and in a prufusimi worthy the Royal Hostess. The ornaments and deranations to• the desgui I, ss Inch was the most choice that could be procured, were displayed and served up in a very superior style, the fruit bona Hampton Court, Kensington and Kew Gardens, and the royal gardens at Windsor.

The Louth and Griniby stage-coach was overturned a few days ag'o, within live mile.: of the former place.-i—The breaking down of' the coach appears to have arisen front its being overloaded, there being on it at the titue stmentern oat side passengers.

Sulcinus.—SatirtAiy night or Sunday morning, a young man, named Smith, poi..mied himself, at the Crown public house, Seven Dials, where he lotb•ed. He had Fallen in love with a young woman, another lodger in the house, who slight ed his addresses, and jealousy is supposed to have occasioned the fatal catastrophe. A short time since Mr. Robert FagA, landlord of fhe White Horse, St. Lawrence,Thanet, put a period to his existence by precipitating himself down a welt belonging to a neighbour. ing house, of the depth of 27 fathoms, wilt re he was discos, et; a short time after by a wounm attesropting to draw a bur. ket of water. On the alarm being given, he WAS drawn up, but tha vital spark was extinct. The hotly presented a shock ing spectacle: limit legs, one thigh, and one Mill being broken, his skull fractured, and was otherwise much bruised. An hints' was held on the hotly, and a Verdict of—Lunacy re turned. PE.—Eduard F.rith, was committed for re•examina tioet, charged with has•ing emmnitlod a rape on the person of Charlotte Harvey, of Friailsbers, was brought' ap and ex amined on Friday best. 'I he poor girl who was the victim of his viole•nee, appeared to give her evideitee at the Mattis• wanes Office ; she slated that the prisoner came into her fathers shop, where she was sitting alone, behind the vomiter, and asked to purchase some gooseberries, that he fitstened the shop door, and telling her that he wanted to speak to her, asked her to go with bin Into a hack room ; upon her refirsine, be seized tier by the arm, and dragging her in, Paste•ned the door, when hi psuceeded to conduct himself with great violence email!, her ; uu her calling out for assistance, he seized her by the throat, which he grasped .vitlt such violence that site was almost strangled, and was completely prevented from making tiny farther resistance.— This statement being corroborated by the evidence brought 6rwalli OH the former exateina,:oiri and the prisoner, who appeared to he perfectly indifferent, and even to treat the business with levity, having nothing ter urge. its his defence, was fully committed to take his trial at the enSaing Assizes tar the eutinty.—(Csinterbery Paper.) Meguseits.—A horrible murder was committed in Lisbon last month, which has excited much interest. A Portuguese Officer haring drawn his sword on one of his sisters, on the interft•renee of Isis metAer, cat down and stabbed the latter through the heart. The unfurtnnate oli:ecr of his first at tack was also desperately wounded ; and another sister, in attempting her escape from the chamber where this tragedy was performing, was precipitated down a flight ofstone steps, and her kmll fractined.—The wretched anther of these venues w is soon after arrested iu Mc street, but appeared to tally indifferent to the bloody deeds he had perpetrated. A most atrocious murder and robbery was committed at a village near Woburn, on Friday night hen, by an Irishman, named P. Free, upon his companion, J. tikerrite—They had been travelling in search of work, and had retired to an out house to sleep till morning. About the middle of the night the inhabitants of the farmhouse adjoining were alarmed by dreadful groans; when some persons proceesled to the place, cad discovered Skerritt weltering iu his blood, and his bead and various parts of his body manglod in a must horrible manner.—They found a bill-hook !sing near bins. He lived about 10 nsinntes after being t'ound ; and had just streugtla to inform them that his companion had risen upon him in the night, and having beat him with a bill-hook and a large stick, rifled his pockets of about 335. stripped him of his clothes ; and left him.—A Coroner's inquest was held on the following (Iv, and a verdict of wilful murder against P. Free was returned'. Last week was committed to Lincoln Castle, Elizabeth, the wife of 4os. Warrincr, of Surileet, common carrier, on the charge°, wilful murder upon the body of.l.Wairiner, her som in-law, :shout the age of 12 years, who was found dead in a Aretilie With a halter by the side of him, faskiied to the rack, and a noose near to the head stall. Upon the Irot.'y In stn ec aniiuetF+md opened by Mr. T. Itrocklesity, , of Cosberton, mid Mr. W. Vise, of Spalding, sitrgeons, no marks whatever of violence or of strangulation appeared about the neck and throat, or the hotly, but a quantity of arsenic was discovered in the coats of the stotta!R; end they state in evidence, that the death of the deceased, in their judgment ; was occasioned by tie poison. Et iilence was also given strongly implicating the said Elizabeth Worriner; slit , was accordingly fully com mitted for trial at the next Assizes.

Her head presented a most shocking spectacle, being so disfigured, dint her features could scarcely he re cognized; the brains protruded from the skull. and one eve was completely knocked out of the socket, and lay upon her cheek. Some quarrymniu, on going to work the nest morn. ing, near the spot, obser.ed some halfpence lying on the ground, which induced them to look further, when, to their astonishment and horror, the mangled hotly met their sight. through the hedge, lying as above described. From the disordered state of the poor creature's dress, when found, there is reason to conclude, that her assailant had made some attempt upon her lily ; and it is not improbable, that the itforts site made to resist hint, had aroused the fury of the wretch, and determined him instantly to deprive her of life. Near the spot whim the body wits discovered, a stick, or hedge stake, has been found, besmeared with blood, which is believed to be the instrumentwhich the mallet OHS deed wits perpetrated.— It vunld appear, that the unhappy mother was fated to meet the murderer of her hapless child, on the highway, soon after the ho , rid deed had been com mitted, and not more than a mile Hutt, the place. Feeling MI an sinus desire for the young woman's IVILIIII, she went tint towards the evening to meet her; when a man passed het on the way, with an umbrella under his arm, who, from various corroboratii.e circumstances. there is reaam to presuine,"was the identical Panderer.

Every thing pleased him. He spoke of a dear daughter, who would be delighted with the CIO:* prospect, and the liberal system of in struction; and insisted upon paying the entrance money upon the spot ; he pulled out a 101. note, and desired the admission (amounting to 10s.) to be deducted. A live pound note was the smallest change in the house ; the proprietors how ever proposed to send a servant for change to a neighbouring piddle house.
