WINDSOR. SEPT. 9.—We have but little alteration to no tice in the daily excursions taken by his MaJEsrY to Virginia Water, where he has passed the greater part of his time when absent from the Royal Lodge during the present season, and which is now fast drawing to a close. This week, except one day, his Majesty and suite haVe dined in the Marquee, on the borders of the lake, and taken their usual aquatic excursions afterwards. Rumours have been, and still are, very prevalent, that his Majesty will leave the Royal Lodge at the end of the present month for Brighton ; this we will neither contradict nor affirm ; but we can state, from undoubted authority, that so long As his Majesty can possibly enjoy out-of-door exercise at the Royal Lodge, we shall be honoured with his presence, and that no time is fixed for his departure. This afternoon his Majesty took an airing in his pony phaeton in the Great Park, and will dine at the ROyal Lodge, where the , Private Band have orders to be in attendance at seven o'clock. The Band of the Coldstream Guards played yesterday afternoon in the Long Walk, from three to five o'clock, before a very numerous and fashionable assemblage. BRIGHTON, SEPT. 10.—The Duke of York was walking out this morning at an early hour. Mrs. Coutts is still residing at an hotel in Worthing, but she is expected to arrive at Brighton for the winter season earlier than she at first intended. Byham-house, a large mansion on the King's-road, which Mrs; Coutts had engaged from the Ist November, will, probably, be vacated by Lord Longford, the present occupant, before that period, in which case she will immediately take possession.— Among the arrivals are, Sir Coutts and Lady Muer, Lady Knightley, Sir W. Rumbold, Gen. Burrell, and Lady Keat. DEPARTURES FROM TOWN, ecc.

After the, survey . the members of the Court dined together at the Hotel of their tenant, Mr. Payton, of Broad stairs, but it ou:;•ht to be added at their own expence. WISBECH BATus:—On the Ist instant another numerous and' respectable meeting was held in the Town Hall, Wisbech, for the purpose of reeeiving the report of the provi sional committee appointed at -a former meeting, and also to adopt such measures as might be deemed expedient for the immediate erection of hot and cold salt water baths.- Several resolutions were proposed and adopted.. The plan presented being approved, a Committee, consisting of twelve Gentle. men, besides a Treasurer and Secretary, were appointed eo superintend the erection of the building and have the manage ment of the baths for one year. A vote of thanks was unani mously passed to the Lord Bishop of. Ely, for his grant of ground uon which it is intended to build ; and a lso to H ug h Jackson, Esq., for the essential service th a t G en tl eman reit= tiered to the Committee. The report also acknowledges the polite attention of the Commissioners of the Court of Sewer,. It is intended that the building shall be immediately erected, as the shares are nearly all engaged. So general has been the support this measure has met with in this public-spirited town, that nearly every gentleman of respectability has already become a shareholder, or signified his intention of supporting the baths by his subscription. .T. R. Weatherhead, Esq., the Town Bailiff, presided at the meeting. EXTRAORDINARY PROCLAMATION.-Sir braith Lowry Cole, the Governor . of the Maori tiva has issued a singular Proclamation fro m th e Government House, Fort Louis, requiring pro prietors of estates, lessees, and other occu pants, to (leposit at the Civil Commissaries of their respective quarters in the course of the year, ten birds' heads, or twenty rats' tails, at their option, for every slave in their possession. The birds' eggs, young birds , or rats, found and de stroyed in their nests, shall be counted in com mon with others. A penalty of six sols is fixed on every bird's head and rat's tail not furnished. Every head of an ape or !donkey will be received an equivalent to six rats' tails, or twelve birds' heads. All those races are considered destruc tive to the harvest and culture on the island..- 7 , The story of Whittington and his cat, after this circumstance, ought no longer to be considered a romance.—(Morning Paper.) The.KING has been pleased to give and grant -unto JOHN THOMAS IBBETSON, of Down Hall, in the County of Essex, Esq., his Royal Licence' and Authority, that he and his issue may take and use the surname of SELWIN only, and bear the arms of . SELWIN quarterly with his own family arms, those of SELWIN in the first quarter, pur suant to a proviso or clause contained in the last will anti testament of CHA ar.Es, late of Down Hall, aforesaid, Esq. (deceased). Such arms being first duly exemplified according to the laws of arms, and recorded in the Heralds' Office, other wise his MAJESTY'S Royal Licence and permis sion to.be void and of none effect : and also to command that thpe said Royal concession and de claration be registered in his MAJESTY'S College' of A rms. Those loathsome diseases, leprosy and land scurvy, became gradually extinct in England when the reformation in relig ion and improve ments in agriculture removed the necessity of eating salted fish acid meat during a great por tion of the year. P 0 E 'l' It Y. --.;• • , LSr - TO MARTIN ARCHER SHEE, ESQ. R. A. On rc-perusing his Poem, entitled " ELEMENTS OF AUT." By JOHN TAYLOR., ESQ. To thee, my friend, was potent Nature kind— She gave creative Genius, strength of mind : Approving her design, the tuneful Train Thy pencil guided, and inspir'd thy strain : Taught thee to :thew what SCULPTURE was of yore, • Which to sublitnest heights of Art could soar ; Arpr.r.o bring in lofty verse to•view, Watching the shaft when he the Python slew; The VEN US bending with a modest charm, As if the passing Zephyr rais'd alarm ; • The vast A LcinEs too, with toil opprest, Yeilding his mighty form to balmy rest; The •WItITHING SONS and AGONIZING SIRE, Struggling amid the SERPENTS' dreadful ire All, all, thy Muse has tonch'd, such force displays As marks a mind warm with congenial rays, While from thy precepts deep instruction flows, And GENIUS through the whole intensely glows. Nor this alone thy praise, for we revere Thy moral worth in life's domestic sphere : There, as the Husband ; Parent, and th e F r iend, In thee their various merits nobly blend, And still an added dignity we find In the pure impulse of thy patri o t mi n d,} Expanding in its zeal for all mankind. • • The last time when the author o f th e f orego i ng lin es • had • the pleasure of seeing the late Mr. SHERIDAN, the former was going to pass an evening with the ingenious Artist, and, Overtaking Mr. S. on his-way, pressed him to join the party. " Tell him," said 11 4 . r. S. that " I am unluckily engaged, and add, that I esteem him as a Friend, I honour him as a Poet, and I love him as a Countryman." ANECDOTES, &c. TIM GOOD EFFECTS OF LEAIRNIXG.-011 the Coast of Chaonia, now Albania, at a place named Aornus, is a small chapel dedicated%to St. Theodore. The walls are covered with inscriptions, some of them belonging to tombs; hollowed into the solid rock. Among those the traveller may notice is one that relates a singular anecdote. A captain of a merchant ves sel, belonging to the Greek Islands in the Archipelago, caused his remains to be brought to one of these tombs, which he had previously _prepared. The sepulchral inscription, engraved under his own eyes in the Greek language, but in Syriac c!-..a. Meters, in substance contained this notice, " That any one of his countrymen, sufficiently versed •in languages •to . read the present inscription, was to remove the stone, when in the tomb he woul,' find 209 sequins destined for him." The inscription remained long unnoticed, when about twenty years ago a young Greek Illorean returning from Vienna, where he bad performed his studies, touched at- the port of St. Theodore, and having decyphered the hscription dug out the sum. lie then engraved the translation of the original notice below it, and affixed his name, his country, and a declaration of his having fulfilled the conditions imposed, all which is still extant. . . . JEwEr., Bishop of Salisbury, in the reign of Queen Eliza beth, was the friend and patron of Richard Hooker, 'author of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. On one occasion, Hooker took a journey on foot from Oxford to Exeter, to visit his mother, And took Salisbury in his was., purposely to see his patron, with whom he dined; and when they parted, the Bishop gave him good counsel and his benediction, but forgot to .give him money; which, when the Bishop had considered, he sent a servant in all haste to call Richard back to him,. when the Bishop said, " Richard, I s ent for you b ac k' t o l en d y ou a horse which bath carried me limy a mile, and, I thank God, with much ease, and presently delivered into his hand a walk ing-staff, with which he professed he had travelled through many parts of Germany; and (he said) Richard, I do not give, but lend you may host ; be sure you he honest, and bring my horse back to me at your return this way to Oxford ; and I do now give you. ten groatS to bear your charges to Exeter, and here is ten groats more, which I charge you to deliver to your mother, and- tell her I send her a Bishop's benediction with it ; and if you bring my horse back to me, I will give you ten gsoats more to carry you on foot to the College,.and so God bless you, good Richard." SIR TiIOMAS SauTri, who wrote in the time of Edward the Sixth on dikility and titles says " As for gentleman they be made good cheap in this kingdom, for whosoever studieth the laws of the realm,. who studies in the Universities, who pro. fess the liberal sciences, and to be short, who - can live idly and Without manual labour, and will' bear the port, charge, and countenance of a gentleman, he 8111111 be called master, and shall be taken for a -gentleman. A Gascox, who was on ill terms With the Bishop of Bazas, swore he would never pray to God . in - that diocese. One day passing a river,_ :sold .heing,in, darxer, - the boatman said that nothing remained for him but to address himself to God. " Well," replied the Gaston, " are we out of the dio cese of Bazas ?" WEsTox, before his comic fame was established, appeared as a substitute for •...,huter, in the part of Sharp, in.the Lying Valet. Shuter's name-was in the play-bills and when Weston appeared, the galleries vociferated, " Shuter ! Shuter !" Mrs. Clive played the part of Kitty Pry, and was no less a favourite than the other. • Tha uproar continued, and nothing could be heard but " Shuter Shuter ! " As soon as it was possible to be heard, Weston, in his own inimitable and hu morous manner,- asked aloud in a seemingly stupid amaze , ment, and pointing . to Mrs. Clive,'" Shoot her ! shoot her ! why should I shoot her?, I am sure she pigs -her part very well." • Good humour was instantly restored , and he met with Universal applause. THE INCONVENIENCE OF USING FINE WORDS.—Ver stigan, an old author, condemning the introduction of new words, says—" It fell out not many yeeres past, that a principal Cour tier writing from London to a personage of authority in the north parts, touching the trayning of men, and providing furni ture for warre, willed him among other things to equippe his horses ; the receiver of the letter, with s om e labour came at the last to the understanding of it all except equippe, whereof in no sort could he conceive the meaning. In the end, he consulted with divers gentlemen in the country thereabouts, but none could resolve him. It was• among them remembered that we use in'our language the word quipping and the word whipping, the first not proper for horses, but sometimes used 'to men, the latter not fit for gentlemen'S horses, but for carter's' jades. In fine, none of them all being ableto finde in all the English they had,'what equippc-might meane, a messenger was sent off on • purpose to the Court at London to learne the. meaning thereof of the writer of the letter." The new Comedy announced at the Haymarket Theatre, under the title of Paul Pr . y; comes, we understand, from the pen of Mr. Poot.E., the author of 'Simpson and Go. and other dramas of well-merited popularity. Th e C ome dy• o f R oses and Thorns has, it seeing, been uncommonly sue -cessful, yielding abundance of roses to the Pro prietor, without any 'thorns of opposition. A NEW Road is forming across the Bishop _of LON‘nor , i's estate at Paddington, which will unite the Mary-la-Bonne with the Uxbridge-road at Bayswater, and by which route it is supposed that the western mails a ill proceed, instead of by Ox ford-street and Piccadilly, when the New Post office is finished. • The late flight from Dover Cliff, and the asto nishing Vauxhall performances of Madame Saqui, are greatly inferior to the described feat •of a rope-dancer, who, on the entrance - of Isabel of Bavaria, wife of Charles the Sixth, into Paris, fastened a rope from the top of the tower of No-, tre Dame to one of the houses within the 'Change Bridge. He descended, dancing upon the rope, with a lighted flambeau in each hand; passed be- t ween blue talfety curtains, ornamented with golden fleur-de-lis, which covered the bridge ; fixed a crown upon isaoel's head, and re-ascend ing, returned in the same manner. It is stated, that as this was done at night, lie was seen in all all parts of Paris and its environs. There is now in the land of Mr. GEORGE, of the Three Cherry Trees Farm, on the manor of Lord VERUGAM, near St. Al!)ans, among a covey of partridges, a speckled chicken, understood to have proceeded from an egg, dropped into the partridge's' nest by a domestic hen. There is also at present, at Westcott, Bucks, among a covey of partridges, a pheasant, which has been hatched with the other birds. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. PONTEFRACT SEPTEMBER MEETING, 1825.

The Depot of the 13th Regiment of Infantry embarked, GM the 7th inst., on board the Zephyr transport, at Cowes, for Chatham. Untachments of Invalids, belonging to the Royal Artillery, the African Colonial Corps, and the 2d West India Regiment• arrived, on the Bth instant, on board the .Marquis of limnley, at Portsmouth, from the coast of Africa. Yesterday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) marched from Knightsbridge Bar racks, under the command of Col. Hill, preceded by their fine band, and had grand field-day on Wormholt Scrubbs, when the regiment went through a variety of movements, and the charges were of the first order, particularly that in line, which drew down the admiration of the military men present, for its precision and rapidity. The Scrubbs had a very animated appearance, the troops being in full dress regimentals, and the fineness of the day having attracted a number of persons to the spot. The Regiment returned to the Barracks between twelve and one o'clock. The North Aants Militia will assemble at Winchester, in the last week in the present month, for the purpose of twenty-eight days' training and exercising. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

In one of the exhibitions of wild beasts, the male and the female Hyena were to gether, and the produce is four young ones. Several popular actors are now on shooting ex cursions. They should bear in mind the misfor tunes of certain of their fraternity—BANNlSTElt, BARRYKORE, DOWTON, and MATHEws, who havit each been severely wounded while busied in such pursuits; tile former on being some few years since pressed with a similar invitation; declined, alleging as an excuse that in his last attempt he made a very bad hand at it, and that in his opi nion it was best for performers to decline such engagements, confine their talent to the stage, and only " Shoot Folly as it Flies." Two Saxon silver pennies have been just dis covered under ground near Southampton, be longing to the Sth and 9th centuries. They are very rare and curious coins. One of them is sup posed to be a unique. A number of human skeletons were discovered very near the same spot. • ANIMAL INSTINCT.--A short time since a Gen. , tleman was shooting in September, with a neigh. hour, when his bitch made a capital point iu,some rushes ; they went up and tried to sprhig the game, but without success ;- after looking 1: con siderable time (for Juno would not be persuaded to break her point) they found one of her fore feet in the midst of four leverets, apparently lit tered only the night before. They handled and examined them ; they were all marked with a star in the forehead, and which is said to be the case if they litter more than two. The Gentle men proceeded on their shooting, and as they returned in the evening, they went to the spot, and to their great surprise the four leverets were all missing. The same Gentleman was with some layers,in a clover field. The mowers had at short time before found a partridge sitting on 18 egg, 'and they left a spot uncut 'around the nest, for the bird's safety. As they were at dinner they frequently observed the bird fly out of the clover into the coppice adjoining. They then watched, and saw her run out of the coppice into the cle ver, and in a little' time fly back again wit!L something in her feet. In an hour or two they examined the nest, and every egg was carried away. Larks have been known to remove their nests, when only one person has observed the n. DESTRucTINE Fir:EL—About two o'clock this this morning, a most destructive fire broke out in thy extensive chair-manufactory of Mr.. Nash, of Robert-street, Lambeth Marsh. The total want of water for nearly two hours gave full sway'to th e devouring element, which raged until after four o'clock with unabated sway. A great number of engines were on the spot by three o'clock, but were rendered wholly useless The fire men; however, used every exertion to, stop. the progress of the flames, and many of them were seen carrying water to the oily engine which could be kept going for a minute or so at a time even by this means. It was nearly five o'clock before water could be obtained, by which' time the fire had completely burned itself out. The loss of property by the neighbours must be • very great, but the loss, as far as Mr. Nash is concerned, will fall on the Beacon and Alliance Fire Offices. Another fire Min took place about 1S o'clock, at the house of Mr. Hogarth, of ProSpect.;place, Back-road, Whitechapel, which at first threatened the most serious consequences. By the timely arrival of the firemen, aided by a plentiful supply of watery the fire was confined to the premises of Mr, nogarth, but not until it had done consider able damage. _ AWFUL, INSTANCE .OF SUDDEN DEATIL-00 Tuesday, a lady, who had been at Margate, as a visitor, with her husband, on going. to see him depart by the steam . packet for London, and taking the last farewell, instantly dropped down and in a very short time expired, 4 . 4 tt-t TROTTING MATCH. The great attempt Of Mr. H. L. Waterhouse, of Lambton, to trot his Georgina mare, 28 miles and a hall' in two hours, in harness, was made over four miles of ground between Hockerill and Huntingdon, at daylight, yesterday morning, for a stake of 1000 sovereigns, between Mr. W. and his party. Rather more than 28 miles has been accomplished in the time, but never this distance, although the mare did the 20 miles faster, perhaps, than ever It was trotted, as will be seen by reference to the figues.

A number of them were old birds, and only three double shots. _ _ I . * For Russian Horse Racing, see a preceding equine. ~"s. The Rev. Mr. FLETCHER had an exhibition on Sunday evening last on the top of the Calton Hill ; and, as the evening was fine, he had a very numerous audience--or rather, attracted by curiosity, the weather, and the delightful nature of the scene, the crowd which surrounded him was strikingly great. Some liked his discourse, some thought it declamatory, some blasphemous. All agreed that his lungs were sound; and we can vouch that the crowd, which broke up into pic turesque masses on the bill, were about half an hour in being disgorged through the pass at the bottom of the steps in front of Bifre ithuson the promenade, were witnessed one description of ening.
