THE KING. WINDSOR, Nov. 9.—on Monday last, in the forenoon, hi s Majesty forwarded one of the Household Messengers from the Royal Lodge, with dispatches for the Home and Foreign De partments. In the afternoon, at the usual hour of his Majesty's sortie, he left the Royal Lodge, accompanied by the Lord Steward in his pony phaeton, and followed by other attendants in the double-bodied phaeton, together with the regular retinue of out-riders, and proceeded by Sandpit Gate and Cranbourne Lodge to the Castle, and returned through the Little Park, and the private drive by Frogmore Lodge and the new plantations, to the Royal Lodge.

THE NEW LORD MAYOR'S DINNER. Soon after six o'clock, the Lord Mayor (W. VENARLES, Esq.) and his distinguished visitors having arrived, the usual procession was made from the Council Chamber round the Hall, before sitting down to dinner.

His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX briefly returned thanks, and disclaimed all merit or praise as attaching to him self individually, and declaring that it was only as a member of his family that he thought it his duty to lose no opportunity of furthering the interests, the prosperity, and the benevolent in stitutions of that great City over which his Lordship was now called upon to preside.

The LORD Miami next gave the health of the Right Hon. W. Ifuskisson; and briefly adverted to the benefits conferred by that gentleman upon the commerce and trade of the City and of the country. Drank as the preceding toast. Mr. Husrussom said, that he was grateful for the manner in which his public services were thus rewarded.

REMARKABLE D.ar s day is the anniver sary of the death of MILTON, in 1674 ;_ of the King of PoLixn, in. 1764, ordering the Prussian Code to he translated into Latin, and printed at the public expence, after which it was proposed Ito offer rewards to the best deviser of a body of laws founded on the brevity of the Prussian , Code, but adapted to the genius and constitution of the Poles. By this Prussian Code, too law suit could exist beyond a'year an&a (fay ; and on this day of the month, in 1773', there were great inundations in Venire and Naples, by which great damage was done and many lives - lost. • A VETERAN DRAMATIST, HOW alive, distin. guished for the frankness and oddness of his hu mour,-being required to state his grounds of et•- ception from serving in the Militia, actually wrote on the official paper, " Old, lame, and a ; coward !" MRS. WOFFINGTON.--The rise of this Lady was very extraordinary, considering her original introduction into public life, which was as fol lows :—Signora VIOLANTE attracted great atten tion in Dublin during the childhood of Mrs. WOFFINGTON, as a rope-dancer. She used to :lance with a basket tied to each foot, and little Peggy IVOFFING-TON was one of the infants em ployed for the occasion. Retaining a connection with public exhibitions, she at length formed. an engagement in a regular Theatre, and by degrees became an accomplished comic actrel. Her form was lofty, and she was finely made, except that her arms were too long, and almost level with her knees. llThen the Cherokee Chiefs were here they saw her perform, and, struck with the elegance of her figure, they joined in opinion, that she would have been the fittest woman in the world if she were of their complexion. TIRE EMPEROR CHARLES V. one day fell in with a peasant who was carrying a pig. The noise being disagreeable to the Emperor, he asked the peasant, if he did not know how to make a pig quiet ? The rustic confessed his ignorance, and his wish to know it. << Take the pig by the tail," said the Emperor, " and you will see that it will soon be silent." The pea sant, finding the Emperor was right, said, " You must hare learnt the trade much longer than I, Sir, for you understand it a great deal better." The ABBE DESFONTAINES, whose morals were little suited to his profession, having once met the celebrated Piron in a dress more magnificent than usual, stood for some time before him, and then exclaimed, 44 What a dress, for such 'a man !"—Piron, having looked at the worthless Abbe for a while, exclaimed in his turn, " What a man for such a dress !" PARSON PA.TTEN.—ft has been said of this good-humoured but eccentric man, Curate of Whitstable, that such was his love for punch, that when his sermons were thotight too long, ofrie one of his parishioners would hold up a lemon, when the worthy parson would bring his discourse to an abrupt conclusion, that he might the sooner adjourn .to the public house, and in• dulge in his favOurite beierage. WHISKEY.— Three Irishmen pretty well drunk with whisky, were reeling home along the banks of the Liffey, the most intoxicated of the set, whilst declaring his favourite liquor.to be both Meat and drink to a man, reeled Into thi river," Och," exclaimed one of,4s compa.. nious, 46 . Sure and your'e now well - prAcied for ; you had meat and drink, and faith now youv't got washing and lodging." Swirl.—The Dean's barber one day told him he had taken a public hous e , o f Which the sign was the Pole and the Bason, and begged a few lines to put upon it, being sure they would draw in plenty of customers. Swift immediately wrote the following couplet Rove not from pole to pole, but step in here, Where nought excells the shaving, but.the beer. Cutstmay-SwEEruns.—During the progress of Jostru ANWAY'S exertions in favour of chim ney-sweepers, he addressed a little urchin of the sooty tribe, who had just swept his chimney, 64 Suppose, now, I give you a shilling ?"—" God Almighty bless your Honour, and thank you."— " And what if I give you a fine tie Wig to wear on May-day, which is just at hand ?"—" Ah bless your Honour ! my Master would not let me go out on May-day. - "---" No! ‘Vlty not?"— " Because he says it's low life !" TIIE GOOD PEOPLE or HORNCASTLE were one day amused by the following announcement of the bell-man---‘ 6 I. J. wishes to inform the pub lic, he will not be answerable for any debt or debts, his wife Marianne J. may contract after this public notice." As soon as possible afterwards, the bell-man was again sent round with the fol- lowing:—" Marianne J. begs to inform the public, she never has, nor does she ever intend, to con tract any debts on her husband's credit, well knowing it stands on too slender a foundation." S4TIRE UPON FAMILY PRIDE,—Au Italian Painter, in drawing the picture of a gentleman who pestered 411 companies with continual boast-; ings of his being descended from the most illus trious families of ancient 'tome, invented the fol- lowing mode of mortifying the vanity of his sub. ject, lie gave him a large nose, as an Indica tion of his being issued from the Nassoncs, and further upon this nose was represented a gray pea, to show him descended from the Cicerones ; a frightful pair of blubber lips were the Iteredi _ tart' marks of the Labeoncs; long teeth re. presented those of Curius Dentatus ; squint ing eyes denoted that he was of the blood of the Strabones ; a large prominent forehead was the distinction of the Frontones ; his hair of a flaming red, declared him of kin to the Rutilii ; and its entangled bushiness, that he had in him some of the blood of the brave Cincinnatus ; an eye put out, bespoke him to have had the Coccli- ter for relations ; the bandy legs showed him of the•posterity of the celebrated Volgo ; his broad flat feet entitled him to reckon the Piaui/ among his ancestors; his crooked fingers were the dis tinction of the Fakones ; and his having six fingers on one hand, was an undeniable sign of his extraction from Sectigitus._ This monstrous picture was an emblem that this gentlemanl;d the vices of those families from which he boasted his extraction, without any of those virtues by which they had acquired their opulence and honntirt $ . oi '‘- ,-,‘ 1 r :" i '; i ye A t e 'r, i f e v• ) .. 4... t-- -- . • . .. ~, $ -. , —...-jd Ir. tz 7.---, PI POETRY..

GERTRUDE. THE LATE LORD MAYOR. On Tuesday, a delegation from the inhabitants of Bridge Ward, of which the late Lord Mayor is Alderman, waited upon his Lordship, for the purpose of presenting him with a piece of plate, in testimony of their respect and esteem. Mr, ATTWQOD, as the organ of the deputation, said, the Citizens of London were under the greatest obligations to his Lordship for the liberal, honourable, and impartial course which he had pursued throughout his Mayoralty, for the remarkable attention ,he paid to the interests of the community, and the zeal he had manifested upon all occasions in which his fellow-citizens were concerned. The inhabitants of the Ward over which his Lordship presided felt most particularly the force of those obligations, and were anxious to testify their sense of his Lordship's worth by presenting him with a piece of plate, in voting which there had been exhibited the most cordial unanimity amongst the residents. There had been some difference of opinion as to the propriety of waiting upon his Lordship before the plate was ordered, but it was decided, that as the subscriptions had poured in the moment the proposition was made, it would be advisable to take the opportunity of communicating the circumstance to his Lordship on the day he was to resign his authority as Chief Magistrate, and to request that he would intimate his wish upon the subject of the de., scrytion of article which he might prefer. the LORD MAYOR, said he should, with the utmost grati tude accept any mark of the esteem of the inhabit a nts of th e Ward of Bridge, and Inc felt under the highest obligation to them, for the warm attention which he bad received from them upon all occasions. He felt it also to be his duty to express his sense of the aid he received iA his public capacity from the citizens of London, to whom he must acknowledge himself indebted deeply during the whole course of his Mayoralty Mr. AT'r wools said the deputation conl4 not, upon this atCatielas ttiiit'ttMert which pretrited — tttetrofintr: -mating to his Lord ip the gratification his fellow-citizens would feel if-hp would oiler himself as a candidate to represent the City of London in Parliament, The Lon IVIATOR replied, that he was prevented by more reasons-than one from entertaining any idea of offering himself as a sandidate for tlie representation of the city, He should speak with the - utmost candour upon the subject. Ills respect for the city of London was a bar to any intention of aspiring at the representation of it. 1:d was not possessed of those requi sites which he considered indispensable. He was not master of that commercial knowledge by which those who represented a great city should be distinguished ; and whatever opinions he might entertain upon questions which sprung up in the great variety of Parliamentary discus, sion, he was not capable of giving an- adequate expres sion to his sentiments. He had duties besides of a very import ant, of, in fact, a very permanent nature, in his opinion, to per form, with which a publiclife could rot but interfere. He had a large family, but independently of the breach which great pub lic engagements would make in his domestic comforts, the for.. mer reasons were quite sufficient to prevent him from offer ing himself for the Representation of the City, At the same time that he made. this declaration, he thought he might, without impropriety, • state that he considered that in electing Representatives, his fellow citizens were hound to take care that the mercantile interests of the City should be adequately repre sented. Although he, as one of the Corporation, had the strongest attachment to that body, he was not bigotted to it, and lie was of opinion, that if the corporation could not find amongst themselves men who were well qualified to do honour to their choice, they were bound to look elsewhere. He at the same time Wished to be understood as not meaning to say that the Corporation did not supply qualified men. He was convinced that there were many gentlemen of that body, of high talents and extensive information. Soon after the deputation retired, the household waited upon the Lord Mayor, to take leave of him, which they did in a highly complimentary address, to which his Lordship returned An appropriate and impressive answer.

Monday was appointed for a grand battue, and at eleven o'clock^ the Royal and Noble Party took the .field, shooting first in the neigbouring coppices to the park, and then in the ferns and small coppices within the walls. In shooting, great attention was paid to the wish of toe Noble Duke to confine the sport as much as possible to cocks, so that when a pheasant got up, if it was a cock he was immediately brought down, hpt if the keepers called a leen, not a feather was disturbed. The shocting throughout was very fine; his Royal Highness Prince Leopold being decidedly the most successful ; his Royal Highness the Duke of York the next; the Honourable Colonel Anson was very little b e hi n d • arid Mr. Smith d ro pp e d hi s bi r d s i n good style.-- —At half-past seven the Party sat down to a most sumptuous dinner, the table being spread with every delicacy, and orna mented with the different Gold Ciys won by the Noble Dukes horses.

The thieves escaped by the front door. EXTRAORDINART CASE OF ItYPROFBO3IA.---- On Tuesday morning a most afflictiVe' evt nt oc curred at Elliott, about eight miles from this town. Mr. Richard Neal rose from his bed in pursuit of a cat, as he said, to kill her. He went to his barn, and removed part of the flooring, but did not find her. In the yard he met his wife, whom he threw on the ground, and with an axe severed her head from her body. Abut eight years ago Mr. Neal, it is said, was affected with hydrophobia, in consequence of receiving on. his hands the saliva of a rabid swine, and was for several months after in adelirious state. Since that time he has been, until within a few days, in gOod health. For about a week before the fatal transaction he was in a melancholy state of mind, which was imputed to the operation of religious ~feelings. After having killed Mrs. Neal he stated .to his neighbours that the cat of which he was in pursuit_ was bewitched, and that the witches had. left her and gone into his wife—that be had no intention of killing her when he left the honse—ex•l pressed his willingness to be taken into eustody, and was accordingly committed to rork Mr. and Mrs. Neal had beer! .married about seven years, were each ab ou t 37 year*pf age, were the parents of four children; were possesse4 of a competency, and had lived is untriterrupte4 harmony.—(Nero Hampshire Parr, Oct. 1,) . By the embarkation returns that have been received relative to the 9flth Regiment of Foot, it appears that that corps embarked in three divisions, viz, on the 14th, 17th and 21st September, on board the :peke, Arab, and Joseph Green transports, for conveyance from Halifax to Bermuda.-- As no of f icial account has yet been received of the loss of either of the above transports, there is reason to hope that the report of the loss of the right wing, contained in the letter from New Brunswick, of the 4th October, may eventually turn put to be unfounded.
