Tire KlNG.—Yesterday morning his MAJESTY attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, iu his Palace, St. James's. The King was attended at the Royal Chapel by the Rev. Dr. Hughes, the Clerk of the Closet. The Church Service, Com. &c. were read by the Rev, the Sub- Dean of the Chapel, the Rev. Mr. Webb, and the Rev. Mr. Packe, Minor Canons. The Te Deum and Music Service was Burrows, in F.— The Sanctus and Commandments were Jomelli. They were admirably sung by Messrs. Gore, Salmon, Vaughan, Hawes, Clark, T. Welsh, and J. B. Sale, together with the young Gentlemen of the Chapel. Mr. Attwood, the Organist to the King, ably presided at the organ. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Dyson, from the first chapter and fifteenth verse of the First Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy—" This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, of whom iam the chief. After the ser mon, the anthem " Lord of all power and might," composed by the Rev. Mr. Mason, was sung by his Majesty's command, the duet by Masters Wesley and Farndell.—His Majesty will honour Drury-lane Theatre with his presence this even. ;lig, to witness the representation of The Hypo crite, and Love, Law, and Physic ; and on Wed nesday will go to Covent-Garden, to see The Cabinet, and Timour the Tartar. Saturday morning her Royal Highness the Princess SOPHIA came to town and visited the KING, and afterwards left London. The Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord MARYBOROUGH also visited the KING. On Saturday the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Mr. WYNN had long interviews with Mr. Secretary CANNING. On Thursday Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador, had an interview with Mr. Secretary CANNING. The Marquis of HAsmas has quitted Brus sels for Rome, where be is expected shortly to arrive. The friends of this distinguished States. man do not think that he has been received at home with that distinction which his public ser vices and talents entitled him justly to expect. FUNERAL OF MRS. BANKES.—The funeral of Mrs. BANKES, the late wife of the Hon. Member for Corfe Castle, took place on Saturday, at one o'clock, from Mr. B.'s residence in New Palace yard.' The hearse was followed by Mr. BANKES'S three sons (one of whom, the Rev. Mr. BANLES, is married to a daughter of the LORD CHANCEL. Loa), as chief mourners; and they were succeed. ed by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord CoLcricsTEn, Lord FAL. //MUTH (married to one of Mr. BANnts's daugh ters), General NUGENT (also married to one of Mr. B.'s daughters), &c. in their several car riages ; and there were twenty-five other car riages of the Nobility and Gentry. Mrs. B.'s remains were deposited in a vault within SI Margaret's church. After the funeral train had left Mr. B.'s residence, an escutcheon was placed in front of the house. Mr. BANK ES is somewhat better, but he still continues in a dangerous state. The knowledge that the funeral was taking place was kept from him. Some questions having arisen as to the legality of many of the votes admitted in the recent elec. tion of Curate of Saint Sepulchre's, Cambridge, and also as to the !rejection of other votes, it is understood that the successful Candidate will not be admitted by his Diocesan until these questions are decided by the Court of King's Bench. The Loan CumicELLon will resume his sittings at Lincoln's Inn Hall on Thursday, being the First Seal Day. The VICE-CHANCELLOR will also resume his sittings on the same day. To morrow will be the General Petition Day at the Rolls' Court. His Honour was this day occupied in hearing short causes, pletely beaten by the heroic Greeks, in his lay formidable attempt upon Missolonghi. CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 84-1 for Money, and for the Ac count, S4i, with little business doing. Up to this hour we do not bear of any Express with Saturday's Papers from Paris; but we under stand that the prices on Friday were 901. 35c., owing to a report at Paris that our Consols were 854, and Spanish 261 to 27. The non-arrival of Expresses from the above Capital may be owing to the stormy weather of yesterday. We understand that a Dutch merchant of some respectability has absconded with Bills of Ex change to the amount of from 8 to 10,0001. which he took on 'Change on Friday last, and for which he gave his checks on his banker, and which have been dishonoured. An express has been sent after him to Holland, as well as to stop the negociating of the Bills. We have no reports on 'Change. FOREIGN MARKET.—This being seitling.day for all Foreign Securities, most parties are busy in settling their accounts, and very little is doing, except in Spanish Bonds, which opened at 9.74, but soon after declined to 9.6-H, a heavy market. In all other Foreign Securities there is nothing doing, and the prices are nominal as per last Saturday. FEMALE FASHIONS. ( From &kern:anal: Repository gritrts, 4.c. for December.)

CARRIAGE DRES3.—Witzchoura pelisse ofgros de Naples, of a bright s car l et geran i um co l our, tr i mmed with a very broad border of swansdown, or of ermine, The conspicuous splen. dour of this pelisse compensates for the plainness which marks the bust and sleeves that are almost devoid of all ornamental trimming.

The Countess of DARTMOUTH is making great improvements and alterations at her elegant seat at Blackheath.

PLACES OF FASHIONABLE RESORT. IVINDSO ft, Nov. 29.—His Majesty's long and welcome re sidence at Windsor is for the present terminated. The King left the palace on Friday afternoon, about live o'clock, for London. We understand that it is his Majesty's intention to visit the two great theatres during the next week, and then proceed to Brighton. During his Majesty's absence various external and internal improvements will be made in the castle; and we understand the King, with his characteristic benevo lence, has directed that as many females as are capable of upholstery work, residing in Windsor, shall be employed in furnishing the apartments.—Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta is on a visit to her Royalsister at Bagsbot. WEYMOUTH, Nov. 27.—The Right Hon. Thomas Wal lace and Masterton Ure, Esq. M.P. arrived hereon ‘Vedaesday last, and were welcomed by the gratulations of our Worshipful Mayor, Joseph Ilorsford, Esq., and many of the principal visitors and inhabitants. By a previous resolution of the Cor poration, it was unanimously agreed to request Mr. Wallace to accept the office of Principal Burgess, as a mark of th e i r highest esteem. Ac cor d ing l y on Monday last the Corporation waited on the Right lion. Gentleman, in full costume, at his house in York-buildings. The Mayor having stated the oh ject of the visit, said that the Corporation had resolved upon this measure as a token of respect for the important and inva luable services which the Right Ilon. Gentleman had rendered his country, by the introduction of the liberal and enlightened policy under which its commerce is at this moment carried on, and forhis , teal and attention to the intcrestsof the town of Weymouth. Mr. Wallace, evidently much affected by this unexpected ho nour, replied, that he wanted words to express his feelings for the kindness of the Corporation. He was, he said, extremely happy that the measures which he had been the humble means of introducing had met their approbation. Every day's expe rience convinced hini of the advantages which our commerce had derived from those measures. We were now daily reco vering our strength ; so t h at , i n t h e event of war, which God forbid! we should be able on the one hand to prevent aggres sion, and punish those who thought that the Lion was in its dotage.—' Come the three corners of the world in arms, and we shall shock them ;" for " Naught shall make us rue, if England to it se lf do rest but true."—Yesterday the Right Hon. Gentleman attended at Guildhall, where he was met by the Corporation, and sworn in a Member of that respectable Body. The Mayor, in honour of the occasion, gave a splendid (linnet at the Crown Tavern. ~, „,-4 i, ; ;;‘'' • . ' 11!11 • Vq l ". 411i‘!'teij4"'I-i '! ' - .. 1 .' • .

Captain Illanstield's brown mare and AIL Babbington's American horse trotted the Great Latch for 400 sovereigns, on Saturday, over a th ree - m il es piece of road at Ferry Heath, Essex, carrying list. 41b. each. The horses started at separate ends of the ground, and made an excellent run. Betting even, and 5 to 4 that the winner did not do the match (nine miles), in 90 minutes.

WASHINGTON JOCKEY CLAW RACES. (From Me National haellir**, ) Tun FIRST DAY. —The purse otjive IlunifrOd dollars, four mile heats, was won by Mr. Johnson's Betsey Richards, in two heats, lating Mr. Wynn's Sumpter, with apparent ease, though the heats were well contested—the race being said to be a better one than that run between the same two horses at Balti more. Tun SEcoxri DAY—The purse of two hundred dollar:, to be run for to-day, is for two mile heats. The following horses were entered last evening:— Dr. Thornton's bay mare Southern Eclipse, 4 years old. Mr. Charles Strother's bay mare Atalanta. 4 years old. Mr. Ramsay's sorrel horse Doubtful, 4 years old. (t en. Winn's filly bay mare Vanity, a ears old, Oflit Wilson's sorrel filly Experiment, 4 years old. Mr. Stonestreet's horse Cornwallis, 4 years old. TIIE LAST DAY'S EAC:II,--For the handsome purse of One Thousand Dollar:, produced yesterday, the best running which has been witnessed. The racers which started were those named yesterday, viz. :—Col. Johnson's mare Betsey Richards, rider in white dress and red cap ; General Vinn's sorrel horse Sumpter, rider with blue jacket; and Mr. James Howard's brown horse Jim Crack, rider with yellow jacket. They set out at the hour appointed, Betsey Richards in front, and Sumpter and Jim Crack close behind. Betsey Richards pre. served her lead, and came out ahead at the end of the heat, but the interest was greatly increased by the handsome per formance of Jim Crack and the close match of his speed with Sumpter, each being at times before the other during the rounds. The time of running the first heat (finir miles) was eight minutes, five seconds. i n.t h e start of the second heat, Sumpter was for a moment in front, but Betsey Richards soon shot ahead, and retained her advantage with apparent ease throughout the heat. In this heat Sumpter was between the other two, alternately nearing Betsey Richards or falling behind towards Jim Crack. In the coming out, Betsey Richards was first, and won the purse ; Sumpter second, and Jim Crack drawn up after coming within the distance post. Time of running the second heat eight minutes, eight seconds. upon the whole, the race was a very tine one, exhibiting g rea t p owers on the part of th e an i ma l s engaged in it. The large amount of the purse, and the very tine weather, drew to the course many thousand persons, including the beauty, fashion, and respecta bility of the city. The marked order and decorum which pre vailed in this yaw crowd, was a subject of remark to many and reflected the highest credit upon the Maryland Association,, CAMBIDGF.--The following are the improve meats now in progress in . this University . -I.lenne t t' s C o ll ege, Ring's College, Trinity College, Trinity Hall, part of Jesus College, part of Ch rist College, A ddinbrooke H a ll, and the Town Bridge; anti it is expected that the new Courts at St. John's College will be entered upon in the course of another year. The additions to Sydney College are, we believe, corn. pleted tinder the direction of Mr. J. Wyatt. Increased nectar). rmelations have been afforded to under.:graduates at Downing College, and every exertion is made to give effect to that esta blishment. I Vherever the places for the buildings for the ritzwilliam Museum are decided on, they should embrace all the accommodation which the public wants of the thtiversity require; such as enlarged Schools, Lecture-rooms, &c. The increased expence will be inconsiderable, and will not, it is pre sumed, deter the University from erecting a building, which will be a just compliment to the memory of Lord Fitzwilliam— a credit to the liberality and taste of the University —and en object of admiration to the literary and scientific world. CURIOUS DISCOYERY.—In the attempt to en. large the dimensions of the repository for the goods manufactured by the Society of Cabinet Makers, in the vicinity of the Tower, the exca vation led to an old subterranean room belonging to that citadel. In this room were found some old papers, which were carefully collected, and deposited in the Office belonging to the Society. A well-dressed man, who came to see them, contrived to get them into his possession, upon promising that they should be speedily returned ; but be has never been heard of since, lie gave apparently a respectable name, but no traces can be discovered. The Society, we think, should advertise the circumstance, and a description of the person who thin artfully possessed himself 'of what may be rare and valuable documents. Miss MAcAuLtre.—We noticed the recitation . of . the histrionic delineation of the character of MARY STUART by Miss MACAULLY OD Tuesday and Thursday evenings last week, at Saville Rooms, Leicester-square. The composition, us we before observed, is her own.—lt abounds in vigorous language and poetical beauty. We do not wonder at the applause which the intrinsic merits of the piece and her animated amid appro . • priate expression excited, and we sincerely hope that the same success will attend her to-morrow evening, when she is to reptat her gratifying en tertainment. The Managers of Covent-Garden Theatre have engaged Mr. SINCLAIR for sixty nights, at thirty guineas per night. His former engage ments at the same Theatre, which terminated in 1818, was about fifteen pounds per week. HUNTING. 3fEETTNGS OF HOUNDS IN TILE PREVENT WEEK.

MONTHL Y REPORT FOR NOVEMIIER.----The un, I steady supplies of the wheat market have, of course, v ar i e d t h e demand and p r i ce for prime white and reel wheat, through the . month ; but the samples of old, the growth of the last year, are much in request. The bulk of the new Wheat come up . continues so inferior as to prevent any increase ir; the average price. The young wheats plant generally well, and those which the heavy rains had set, on strong boils, are much im proved by the open state of the weather. The cddishes intershot ; An beans and pens plough well ; and the fallow lands that were properly water-f urrowed , open kindly to be well eased for early barley sowing la the spring. Clover seed rises so lightly in ge neral, as to promise but little beyond half an average crop. The hop plantations of Kent and Sussex, have exceeded the producq of the calculation made by the speculators in the Borough, though the quality is inferior to that of the last year. Potatoes turn up a full crop in most parts. The hay-In:alio is dearer from the slim-mess of its supply. The grass countries are full of latter feed ; and the green crops of winter tares, rye and mange! worse], are every where luxuriant in growth,. The tar. nips of Norfolk, and other parts of the Eastern district, are so much recovered front the early injury of the fly, as to yield the i grazier a f a i r crop, though not the usual abundance n she or weight. The young clovers have kept plant through the win. ter. The wool trade has had a start, from the sudden extention of our transatlantic exportations. Lean stock is lower : the large show of lean beasts, at th e l ast autumn fairs, h as induced the Scotch and Welch drovers to submit to A considerable reduction front the summer prices. Sheep sell more freely, and on better terms, particularly well-bred Southdown wedders, and well conditioned lambs. Smithfield has varied but little in quantity or quality, through the three last weeks ; so that house lamb and prime veal are the only articles that can be quoted in ad vance. Cart-horses are lower, scarcely a fine grown three_ear. old colt b e i ng sa l eable, unless his superior size and figurey are such as to countand the attention of the London brewer. 0ri1n1i............

MIDOLESEx SEsstoss.—These Sessions com menced this morning before Mr. Comer and a bench of Magistrates. The Grand and Petit` Juries having been sworn in, the former retirrd"" to their room, and the latter proceeded to hear the causes set down in the Traverse Paper, whi ch ownoN on S the present occasion appears to be light. ESSITbiS morning, the Ad journed Sessions of the Peace for London emu.: ,% menced at the Guildhall, before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen, and City Officers.-- This was the first sitting of the Court since the nppoiotment of the Lott] Mayor (Waithman.)--- On the Grand Jury being sworn, the Reconnen. addressed them on the duties they bad to per. form, and pointed out the very obvious decrease of crime since the last Session of the eace, which he ma i n l y attributed to the well.adapted discipline and arrangement of the new system of Police. The calendar contained no offencta of great atrocity, and none of a commercial them:- ter, and merely contained offences of a trifling pa. ture, scarcely amounting togrand larceny. The Hs corder also forcibly observed on some present ments, relative to nuisances, which were likely to come before them. On the Grand Jury tiring, th e the Petit Jury were sworn, and proceeded to the trial of cases of assault, none of whiel l contained any public interest, being principally squabbles arising from abusive tongu es and governable tempers, *k l :
