We noticed in our last his most gracious Ma jelly's arrival at Windsor, on Saturday, the 4c2ri inst. On Sunday morning his Majesty attended Divine Service at St. George's Chapel, accom panied by the Princess Augusta. His Majesty went in his private carriage, and was %mit ten:led by any guards. An excellent sermon Was preached by the Rev. C. Long, the Ca non in residence. A great number of the in habitants, as well as many strangers, were anxiously wailing the King's return. They appeared all to indulge a heartfelt pleasure in beholding their Suet. reign—a feeling not unmixed with an affectionate renienibtauce of the similar situation in which many were accustomed to greet their late revered Mnuarch. On his Majesty's return to the Castle he remain ed there till half-past six. During that period, Sir Robert Hill. Colonel of the Royal Horse Guards, waited upon his Majesty by COUIII/411(1; and received from his hands the clothing and equipments be longing to the late King. as a Captain in that dis tingustind regiment. We understand that his Majesty was pleased to signify his gracious wish to hold the same rank as his Royal Father. At seven o'clock the King left the Castle for Frogusore, where he dined with the Princess Au. gitqta. awl returned to the Lodge at belt-past ten. 0:: ll!-.nday his Majesty devoted the greater part of the morning to an exam6atiots of the Royal apartments to Windsor Castle.

The King proceeded to London by the w... of the Great Park and Egliam. At the en. t:anee of the Long Walk, on each side of the ave. wire drawn op the regiment of the Royal I kise Guards, and the lst battalion of Grenadier who were drawn out for the purpose of o . fro.de-joie in honour of his Majesty's birth- A vast number of persona were assembled oil the ()erasion, who greeted the King on his en trance tt , th the most enthusiastic shouts. The s doted, and the bands played God save the Kin c. The carriage passed slowly down the liner. His Mljesty apprared iu excellent health, and tweiwil highly pleased with the brilliant scene s and the resp.ctful attentions of all ranks of his sub. jrets. After the carnage had reached the extre wily of :lie liner, the horses went off at a quick nace.

IN the evening the town was brilliantly illu minated. Many houses were decorated with re. Vtanteel lamps. An elegant arch was erected by Tsbliott, the King's builder, the effect of srbtch was singularly tasteful and beautiful.

Mr. Butixte immediately proceeded to reed the Report, which was very voluminous, mud contained a great deal of valuable information on the state of Mendicity ; it also gave a very satisfactory account of the progress of the Society. Within the last year they had attended to 4,6tt4 cases, of which many were relieved, by being seed to their pari-hes, or pro vided for in a variety of ways. A number of impos tors had also been detected and punished. In the course of the last year the Society had furnished 33,031 meals to destitute applicants. The Report also stated that an errangertrent had been made with the Governors of the Refuge for the Desti tute for admitting upon that estehlurliment a certain number, recommended by this Society. It also stated, that in the cases of objects which chewed an unaffected delicacy to resort to parochial relief, proper care was takers to. cultivate such a spirit. It then alluded to the difficulties expe rienced owing to the present state of the I'nor Lass, but stated that ootwithstanding every obsta cl►, the number of street-heeprs had been consi derably diminished within the last year. The seve rity of the last winter had thrown it number of iabourers out of employ, but this Society, with many others, and particularly the Shelter it Lon don-wall, was able to extend very important as►ist artee to the wretched suit . The funds of the Society, at the opening of the year, amounted w 6451/. 10s.

Mr. WETLAND, in secooding this motion, spoke in warm terms of the efficacy to the Society's , plan, and of the many benefits it was calculated to con fer. It was impossibly but that the greatest pub lic benefits must attend the progress of such au ititutiou. The motion was unanimously carried.

The exertions and indefatigable ability displayed by their Honorary Secretary, Mr. Bodkin, were above all praise, and too generally known sod appreciated, to need front him any eulogy.
