THE KING. --...0w.- WINDSOR, SIINDAY, Pan. 15.—0 n Thursday afternoon, at a little before six, hls Majesty arrived at the Castle. On his entrance into Windsor he was cheered by the inhabi tants; the bells rung, and his Majesty's tradespeople illu olioated their houses. It was not known till Wednesday that the King would gratify us with his presence on leaving his Marine Palace at Brighton, but It was thought he w ould proceed to his Palace in Pall-Mall. The arrival too k place at a few Minutes after six on Thursday evening, his Majesty having left Brighton At half-past twelve on the same day, thus passing over a distance of sixty miles i n t hat short space of time. His Majesty has, for some t wo hark, dispensed a ith the etiquette of an escort in travelling, except the first stage in starting, and the last on arriving; for instance, a party of the 7th Hussars es corted him from Brighton to Hickstead, and a party of the 3d Light Cavalry, stationed et Hounslow Barracks, escorted him from Staines to Windsor. His Majesty kis not been out of the Castle since his arrival. On Friday his Mai -sty rode out in the Parks, and in sp•c/eti the works which hive been in progress derfitg his absence, particelarlv the rides and road to the Royal Cot tage' which are to be direct, not circuitous. 'fie improvements in contemphtion here are not con fined to the Royal residence. It is proposed to throw down the whole range of buildings from the New Church to the foot of what is termed the hundred steps, so called from the ascent to the cloisters of the Cathedral, by 140 steps at that spot. The effect of this will be to create an opening of several hundred feet, which will be encircled by a new cresent having in the centre the whole outward sweep of the castle. at once bringing that magnificent ob ject into full view from every part of the town, and one of the first that strikes the eye on entering it. The building called the Upper Lodge has been entirely removed, and nothing now remains to impede the comple tion of the New Cut to the entrance of the Castle on that side. A beautiful view over the Forest has been obtained by this alteration, and a direct communication with the Long-walk. At the extremity of the Long-walk, a distance of about three miler, is to be placed the ignestrian statue of his late Majesty, upon which Mr. %Vestmacott has been for s ome time engaged. This will occupy a commanding situation on the summit of what is called Snow Hill, upon a pedestal rising fifty feet above the ground, an elevation which will render it conspicuous from every part of the neighbourhood, and to a great distance on every side. The statue w ill be of brow, and the fignre will be made to point towards the Castle, the long and last abode of its r epresentative. None of the projected improvements made any progress during his Majesty s absence, it being under stood to be his Majesty's wish to superintend them himself. The only change of importance now proceeding is; the biting down of B'enbeini Tower, which is destined at once to restore the building to its original outline, and to throw a body of light into St. George's Hall, which has been wrapped in gloom ever since the erection of this tower. It is also a part of the plan for the alteration of the Castle to carry the terrace completely round it. This day his Majesty attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, in the Castle. Mr. Sumner preached and read prayers. The Terrace is thown open to the public every Sunday. The Bands of the Blues, and the 34th Regiment, bate commenced playing there. and will con tinue to do so every Sunday. The day has been peculiarly sue, and the scene has been unusually well attended. Duette, Feb. 111.—The second Drawing-room for the seams took place at the Castle last night. It was more numerously attended than the preceding one. We were glad to perceive that his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant ap. peered to be iaeseellent health and spirits. The dresses oldie ladies were tisoet splendid.

It is said to Lave received a handsome addition from Scotland ; and an equally liberal secession from Ireland is confidently ex pected. New LIMAS! Saturday a Genera Meeting of the Directors and Proprietors of the Auction) Mart, was held in the Great Room of the Establishment fur the purpose of confirming a report made at a former meeting relative to the foundation of a Subscripoion and Reading Koom, and certain alterations in the building for the prop, sed object. After some discussion as to the mode of fr 'ming the resolution, and the terms of 'mimed p lion, it at length was terminated, by the unanimous coorerrenre of the meeting in the original proposition of establishing a subscript!on and reading-toom ; and that it shes!d be left to the directors and comma ittee to be carried into effect. Previous to toe separation of the meeting. every proprietor is the room put down his name as a sub seriher.

LV , c. 37. appointed Commissioners (Messrs. Wallace, Prankland, Lewis, Lashington, Ste.) "to inquire into the collection and management of the Public Revenue arising in Ireland, and into certain departments of the Public Revenue in Great Britain." raring the last and preceding Sessions, those Commissioners presented voluminous Reports to Parliament, which exposed extraordinary abuses in some public departments in Ireland, and pointed out absolutely requisite remedies. The Stamp Establishment in Dublin is about to be placed on a different and on an improved footing; and a tempo rary Board established for the management of such de partment, till further improvements can be matured. To take a lea.ling part in the conduct of it, William Camp bell, Egg , Comptroller of the Legacy Duties at Somerset. house, is expected to leave London for Dublin this day; and he will be aided by two gentlemen who are already in Dahlia. The Custom-house and Excise departments of Ireland and Great Britain are to be consolidated or rather antal gimated. Fifty officers, &c. of the English Establishments have gone to Ireland, and fifty officers, &c. of the Irish Establishments are forwarded to England. The mer chan.s in Dnblin and in other parts of Ireland, have al ready borne testimony to the advantages, and the absence of partialities producing by feting, that result from the improvements. To show, however, what the Revenue may gain (saying nothing of the improved manner of transact ing business) by the reforms that have already been ac complished, it may not be uninteresting to observe that at Belfast, five Custom-house officers used to manage all the brininess in two or three hours each day, whereas seven officers are now engaged for eight or nine hours each day, in investigating the foreign goods alone. The Commissioners are proceeding in their labours.— They go to Scotland this year. Mr. Wallace was the Chairman of this Board; but since his appointment to be Master of the Mint, Mr, T. Frankland Lewis has acted as the Chairman, and bas been uncommonly assiduous in his attentions. Mr. Wallace, however, does not retire from the Board, U,.1.114Y LAWS. Mr. Sergeant Onslow's Bill, the second reading of which stands for this day, enumerates the titles of all the Acts in existence against Usnry, from the 37th Henry VIII. to the sth 0-orge 11. being sixteen in number. The sth Beorge 11. was the last enactment on this subject. It reduced the rate of interest in Ireland to six per cent.; by the Bth Anne it was made eight per cent. After such enumeration, Mr. Sergeant Onsloa's Biliproceeds And whereas it is not expedient that the rate of inter est should be fixed or limited by law, be it therefore enact ed, &c. that so much of the above recited Acts, as prohibit the taking interest for money or other things, or limits, re• eclat*, or restrains the rate thereof, or indicts any penalty or forfeiture on persons taking or receiving, or contracting for the same, or as makes void any contracts o► securitiee, shall be repealed, and the same is hereby repealed, and made utterly null and void to all intents aid purposes. 4 ' Provided always, that is all cases where interest is doe by law, and there is no special agi cement in writing, cus tom of trade, or rule or order of a Court of Law or Equity, limiting or fixing the rate of interest, that the interest to be charged and recovered to and against the person 'or per sons liable to pay the same , shall be at and after the rate of five pounds for the hundred pounds by the year in the kingdom of Great Britain, and at and after the rate of six pounds for the hundred pounds by the year in the kingdom of Ireland." PRIVATM CuRRNSPoNRUNCIL—The following extract from the just-published Private Correspoadenceof Cowper, the Port, will be felt to be it the present moment interesting end important. It is part of a lever dated April 19, 1788, addressed to a friend who had sent bim some verses on the subject of slavery and the slave trade, andlitews that the Poet's anticipations of the event of the then depending Parliamentary discussions were singularly correct. It proves also the now-disputed fact, that the n• formation and abolition of Colonial Slavery were, at that early period of the slave trade , controversy, objects for which the friends of the African caul publicly and anxious ly contend, d No far as I can learn, and have had intelligence from a quarter within the reach of such as is respectable, our Oa yenta's are not animated altogether nith such heroic ar dour as the occasion might inspire. They consult fre quently, indeed, in the Cabinet ahont it; hut the frequency of their consultations in a case so plain as this would he, did wit what Sh.kespenre call• commodity, and what we tall political expe , ttency, cast a cloud over it, rattier be speaks a desire tone appearances, than to interpose to purpose. Laws will, I surpose. be enacted for the more humane treatment of the Negroes ; but who shall see the execution of theta? The Plasiters will not, and the Negroes cannot. In fact es karow that laws of this ten dency have not been wanted, enacted even amongst them selves ; but there hes been alit ays a want of prosecutors, or righteousJodges—deficiencies which will not be very easily supplied. The . newspapers have lately told us that these merciful masters have, on this occasion, been occupied in passing ordinances, by which the lives and limbs of their slaves are to be secured from rrarton cruelty hereafter. Bat who does ant immediately detect the artifice, or can give them a moment's credit for any thing more than a design by this show of lenity, to avert the storm which they think hangs over them ? On the whole, I fear there is reason to wish, for the honour of Ragland, that the nuisance had never been troubles], lest we eventually make ourselves justly chargeable with the whole offence by not removing it. Theeuorinity maim he palliated; we can no longer plead that we were not aware of it, or that our at tention was otherwise engaged ; and shall be inexcusable therefore ourselves, if we leave the least part of it unre dressed." The following extract is of a lighter kind, and exhibits some of that versatility of talent and playfulness of humour for which the Poet was distinguished. The mishap it re lates, cannot failto baing to the reader', mind the " ad venture* of Johnny thlpin;" and, from the strain in which , it is written, may lead him to suspect with us. to have been the luckiest which originally suggested one of the princi pal leornlea of that inimitable story : "'Yoe taws sever yet, perhaps, been gamie isquaiste4 whittle enfotteette Tom V mussel ienture. Ho mad hi wife, returning from Hoinslope fair, were coming down Weston-lane ; to wit, themselves, their horse, and their ;teat wooden panniers, at ten o'clock at night.

A sudden fright will impart activity, and a momentary,vigour even to lameness itself.

It was, in fact, occasioned by theclittering of ten patty-pans and a Dutch oven against the side of the panniers. Much gingerbread was picked up in the street, and Mr. Lacy's windows were broken all to pieces. Had this been all, it would have been a comedy, but we learned th e next es,,ruing, that the pour woman a collar-bone was broken, and she bas hardly been able to reseuts her oc cupation since."

This day, the adjourned General Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the County of Middlesex commenced, before Francis Const, Esq. Chairman, and a full bench of Magis trates. The Chairman, in addressing the Grand Jury observed, that the calendar contained only a few cues of any mo ment, and they were those which were frequently before that imptisition, not varying as to technicality or chew ter. With respect to the general nature of their duties, he was happy to say, that the decrease of crime since the last sitting was very apparent, and be could aot help at tributing this to the new plan of prison discipline which lad been acted upon generally throughout the empire. The grand Jury then retired, and the petit Jury being saorn. proceeded to the of traversed cues of assault of ars public interest, but only displaying the had tempers and litigious dispositions of the parties concerned. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. • Last nigbt a young and interesting female was observed wandering about Palace Yard, in an apparently desponding state; curiosity induced some persons to watch her motions, and she at leog h descended the steps leading to the River. and plunged in; she was almost Instantly v-scaed from the watery element, and taken into a public bane; whin it appeared, on being questioned, she resided near Lambeth Walk, and the cause of the rash attempt, it appeared, was, a young man to whom she was attached, sent a Valentiee to another female, and neglected her. She was taken borne. She bad absented herself the . whole of 3se4ay; her friends are highly respectable. Soocsino CATAIITROPHC.—A tragical event, which has just taken place at Bordeaux, has brought sorrow into a whole family of ttgat town, and proves better than all rea soning, the milcloief and danger of convents. What a num ber of similar events were formerly buried in the silence and secrecy of the cloisters! A citizen of Bordeaux, whose name we suppress, bad a sun and a daughter, the former advantageously married, and the father, anxious to secure wialied his d aug ht er to b ecome a nun . him a good fortune, She had no taste for this vocation, blot she was willing to get over her repognaoce, and she entered a convent of IJaluelites. After a year's trial she felt that it would be impossible for her to be comfortable in a convent, and she requested to be permitted to return to her parental roof. She was permitted; she then made her father acquainted with a mutual attachment which existed between her and a young man of the town, who was quite a proper match fur her as to fkoni:y and fortune. The refusal was positi v e, and:from that moment her residence at bolus became pain ful to her. At the end orsome months, she offered to re moter the cooveot. and try . once more to reconcile herself to her fate. The offer was instantly accepted ; and she was recanted back at the convent with great satisfaction, and premised, isilsodently, to make bee vowaat the end of a year. The fatal day arrived.—the young woman rose early in the nieraiiig, and covered with a long white veil. cross ed the court-yard of the convent, and threw herself into a well. The instinct of self-preservation was more power. fah than her despair, and she uttered some piercing cries. that were heard by some neighbours; ,the dour of th e con vent was closed ; the nuns deliberated before admitting 'meager% so that the succour owe too late for the unfor tenet* girl—she was drowned. The father is naturally overwhelmed with anguish. May this terrible lesson be au example for the future, and let us hear no more of re-estab• lishing convents. when they have been the scene( of many such calamitous events.—(Constiewrioend.) On Saturday morning an accident occurred in the house of Mr. William., druggist, Deptford. It appears it was the birth-day of one of Mr. W.'s sons, and they were making composition stars for rockets with the help of a lad who bad been io tke service of a fire work maker, and had placed several on the hearth before the fire to dry, when a spark dying out set them on fire, and the whole exploded ; by which a little boy was dreadfully burnt in the neck and face, and the others escaped with their clothes on fire. Tioroagh the activity of the neighbours, who ran into the house with buckets of water, further damage was happily prevented. On Wednesday afternoon (11th instant). as the Royal Union Coach. which runs between Sheffield and Leeds, was proceeding aver Worsboropgb-bridge, it was suddenly overhauled; by which accident Mr. Gordon, a dewing niamer of Midfield, was killed on the spot, and two other ;massagers were seriously injured. We have received Ca nom accounts as to the cause of the upsetting of the coach; but as an impost is now hololiog spun the unfor tunate deceased, we shall forbear making any remarks till after the verdict of the Jury has been given. Ktosarrsas.-aThere seems to be some grounds for be.

I'. Stanley; Bart. A number of persons had collected to the spot by the time she struck, in the hopes of rendering kedgeree, atnooggt whom were Captain Hngh Ryan', the liatbour Master. and Mr. Sparrow, with his brother Officers of Cus toms, who got on the rock so• near as dietinctly to bear the piercing streams of women, children, and men.. r r e piercing agony calling out, " Save, oh •seve es!' men were directed to cot dowis their main -mast, which it was calculated would reach the rocks we were upon, but to our great grief we heard they had no axe, nor any thing to cut it down with. The 'wind blowing over the wreck rendered it impossible for os to throw them any thing. The scrams of the women and chit dren now became greater, but soon died away.— The men on board were now des?red to throw a line towards the rock, and a man having a rope roan& his middle went from the rocks into the breakers to attempt to catch it, but tried in vain. We were now compelled to (pit our station, at we were surrounded by the flowing tide. The poor crew now seemed distraded. as al) was apparently over. One man now arpeared undressed, and was seen to throw himself over, hut sunk to rise no more. The tide having now raised the vessel, and a pert of her cargo floating about, she came much nearer to another great rock we got upon, when, after a number of unsulcessful attempts, at last with great danger we succeeded in catching their line, to which they fastened a strong imp.. which we drew on shore. Proper directions being given them to have their rope in readiness, they were to tie a man round his middle, and We to drag him ashore; but they were so distracted that the rope got entangled, and they could let oat no more. Mr. Simpson, the agent a! Psnrhos, on this sent up to the house for ropes, and while we were tying theta to gether, we saw one man setting off along the rope. holding fast by his legs and arms, and so moving slowly on, and to the surprise of all, who kept encouraging him to hold fast se db ewou ld be saved, did arr i ve sa f e on shore ; anot h er followed his example and also got safe, but no more dust undertake the dangerous attempt. Ily this time we had got our ropes ready, and by giving proper directions, third was tied to the rope, who called out, " pull away." and he was safely dragged through the heavy breakers on shore ; a fourth immediately followed him, a fifth was now fast. and only left the vessel when we perceived a sixtik close behind, which two as they (through more difficulty than the rest) reached thn,abore, a dreadful erasb ensued, which shivered the vessel to atoms, and stunned our ears.— The six men who so narrowly escaped a watery grave were humanely taken to Penrhos (the seat of Sir J. Sosoley) where every preparation had been made for alleviating their distress. and by about midnight they seemed tolerably well. They had left Cork that morning, with a crew of eight men and eleven passehgerti. Oho consisted of a Mr. Church. half-pay in the army, (this was tha peison who at tempted to get on shore. • being an expert swimtuer), a ser jeant, two meo and their wives, and rite small children who all (with two of the erew) perished : eleven of the bo dies have sisealwen found.

Some support the opinion that Prigg has been murders f ; while others thick that from being in einhar mused circumstances and engaged is a rainotis undertak ing, he has withdrawn himself from that part of the coun try, and perhaps from the kingdom. enaacia OF Vt./14TP it ow Ilia Falls .N 01 a MING Fite sums me • QOAce - Doer:rm.—On Saturday fast - a man, styling himself in the newspapers Peter Ito,inski, prin cipal Doctor, Surgeon, and Oculist to the Army of the Em peror of Russia, and Professor of the Russian, Spaniel, botch, Freseh.tierman, Oreek and Latin languages, was brought halite B.
