E Si LE PRE.benEtt —The finale that visited the late un fortunate men in Newgate, while under sentence of death for titter ing forged mess is in the constant habit of preaching in Chapols and Meetings.

It is said to be in the contemplation of Minister: to propose a very colsiderable reduction in the Windsor Establishment, soon after the meeting of Parliament. It is certain that the services of the greater part of his I:ijesty's present retinue will be dispensed with early in the month of April. They have already received notices to that effect front Gen. Taylor :tad Gen. Stevens. That the finances of the country require every aid the most skilful husbandry can ad minister, is now no longer disputed ; and we know of very few mea sures of economy which would he inure generally acceptable to the Public than the reduction of the Establishment in question. If splendid equipage, and co.* ceremonials. could, in the slightest de gree, alleviate the malady which afflicts our venerable Socereign„ we would deem it a sacrilege to remove them. But it is ki:own that his Majesty is not affected by external objects; and, to every feeling mind, the pomp by a:licit he has been hitl.eito surrounded, appear ed little else than idle oitetitation.
