THE KING, ecc. WINDSOR, OCT. I4.—The weather remaining so very fa vourable, his MAJrsT - t - daily enjoys from three to four hours exercise, driving himself in his pony phaeton about the Great Park, most times visiting Virginia Water and the Lodge-A. 'His Majesty has for some time past enjoyed, and we are happy to state that he still continues to enjoy, unusual health and spirits.—Yesterday the Earl of Harcourt paid a morning visit to his Majesty at the Royal Lodge.—This evening and to-mor row his Majesty will entertain distinguished personages at din ner at the Royal Lodge.—Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta visited the Castle, and was conducted through the various apartments this afternoon.—The Duke of Cumberland arrived at the Royal Lodge, this morning, on a visit to his Majesty.---The Is.3chess of Gloucester arrived at Frogmore, this morning, from her residence at Bagshot, on a visit to the Princess Augusta.—Nearly six hundred men are now em ployed at the Castle. THE DUNE OF CUMBERLAND'S ARRIVAL IN ENGLAND. Yesterday morning, at five o'clock, the Duke of CuainEn- LAND, in a travelling carriage and four, arrived at his Royal Highness's apartment in St. James's Palace. The Duke had travelled all night. His Royal Highness was accompanied by Major Pornton only ; he is, however, expected to be followed by the Prussian Prince Augustus, who, together with the Duke of Cumberland, had an audience of the King of France in Paris, on Tuesday last. They then took leave of the French Monarch. Colonel Thornton, who had been dispatched from Windsor by his Majesty, as soon as he learned that the Duke was on his way to England, was in waiting at the Palace ready to receive the Duke of Cumberland, and to impart to him his Majesty's commands. The King was desirous that the Duke should proceed to Windsor, after his arrival at St. James's Palace, with as little delay as possible. The Duke of Cum , berland partook of coffee, and reposed a short time ; but the carriage and horses were ordered to be in readiness soon after seven o'clock. At half-past seven o'clock (the Duke having rested little more than two hours), his Royal Highness started for Windsor, accompanied by Colonel Thornton, &c. to pay his duties to his M ajesty. The Duke of Cumberland and Ma jor pornton have travelled directed from Paris, making no fur ther delays on the road than were required to procure the requi site changes and means of conveyance ; and though his Royal Highness was much fatigued on his arrival at St. James's Palace, he appeared to be in excellent health and spirits, and he very graciously acknowledged the respectful attention of his establishment at the Palace. The carriage went through the Park and along Constitution Hill, so that his Royal Highness had an opportunity of seeing the extensive alterations and new buildings in progress at York House, Buckingham Palace, &c.

AN ABBESS LYINCI TN STATE.— Tour:, Oct. 6.—On Mon day died Madame Boland, Superieure of a Convent of Ursu lines in this town. Her body on Tuesday lay in state in the chapel of the convent. She was placed in her coffin, which was without a lid. She was dressed as when alive—her face bare, her hands together, holding a paper containing her vow, a candle was burning at each corner, and a vase of holy water was placed at the foot, which every good Catholic who entered sprinkled with a brush over her mortal remains, and then crossed himself with it. There are several convents of Ursulines in this town. To their religious devotions they add the care of a boarding -school under the same roof. Madame Roland was a sister in the con vent of Madame Chablet, but she wished to rule, which was not compatible, and the Government built another convent, of which Madame R. was made Superieure. I must add to the account of lying in state, that several nuns were praying around the coffin. P 0 E. T .11 Y.

It is said that an Englishman of rank has suddenly set off post from thence for Italy, leaving word for his wife that his life had become the object of a con spiracy. The report goes on to mention other circumstances which I do not choose to repeat, as the real causes of this gentleman's unexpected flight. We are desired to say, that it was not Mr. BOYCOTT, one of the partners of Messrs. Rogers, Towgood, and Co., of St. Clement's-lane, Lombard-street, who was stated in our paper of yesterday, to be passing through the Strand, with a great amount of property in his possession, when he was suddenly seised with an epilectie fit, and dropped senseless amidst the crowd, &c.—( Times.) A serious riot took place on Monday at Tal lagh, Ireland, between the woollen and paper workers employed in the manufactories there, but the timely arrival of the Police quelled it without any serious consequences.

Prizes. HAzikno have Agents in all the principal Country Towns. TIIE EARTH AND ITS INHABITANTs.—A curi ous calculator sends us the following statement : When the earth is compared to an ant-hill, the comparison, he observes, is very exact, so far as respects the proportional bulk of the ani ma ls an d their habitation. If we suppose that there are at present 000 millions of human beings on the globe, and that ten persons, men, women, and children, on an average, are equal in bulk to a cubic yard ; then the whole existing race of man kind if closely packed together, would form a mass equal to a pyramidical mountain one thou sand yards each nay at the base, and sixty yards high—that is, a mountain rathe r l e s s than Arthur's Seat. Farther, if we suppos e 150 generations from the Flood to the present time, and estimate each generation at three hun dred millions, the whole, if brought into a mass, would not equal in bulk Benlawers in Perthshire, assuming that mountain to be a cone of 15,000 feet diameter at the base, and 3,700 feet in Yet Mount Etna is thirty times the size of Ben lawers—Chimborazzo is ten times the size of Etna—and it would require ten thousand millions of mountains like Chirnborazzo to make a mass equal to the globe.globe.--(Scotsman.) BRADFORD COWERS AND WEAVERS. (From the Leeds Intelligencer. We have received the follo-ing " BRADFORD, OCT. 12. " The contest between the masters and workmen has existed so long, and acquired so much an appearance of perma nency, that it has almost ceased to be considered any other than as a matter of course. Besides what you are acquainted with already, I have to mention, that three• men were appre hended here by a warrant from Mr. Stocks, on a charge of mo lesting a man who had left the Union, and returned to his employment, on Tuesday last ; but, on the appearance of the parties before the Magistrates, the complaint was dis charged.

BRIGHTON, OCT. 13.—The American aero naut, as he terms himself, Mr. Courtney, Look his promised flight from a species of scaffold ing raised on the top of the Royal . Brighton Gardens Promenade Saloon yesterday ; or rather he glided gently down a sloping rope, securely fixed at each end, to a distance, perhaps, of Oita hundred and fifty yards, in a kind of cage_ or frame-work, that preserved him from eye!' the risk of personal injury. Madame Saqui would have walked up and down such a rope to court popularity, and with apparent ease, though that Lady, it is melancholy to relate, eventually paid the price of her temerity with her life. Our fisher men, by dozens,we have no doubt, for a tankard or two of strong beereach,would cheerfully make the descent by the same cord under similar circum stances, at any short notice, and with an effect quite as extraordinary, as that with which it was singly supposed the public would be amused yes terday. Th e Proprietor of the Gardens we be lieve, was as much disappointed with the result as any other person.—The confluence of specta tors was immense, and the collection in silver and copper of course considerable, , THE ARMY.

SPHINX ATaopos.—One of these beautiful and . superb moths entered th© shop of Mr. Roberta, grocer, Church-street, Hereford, a few e - venino since, and is now in the possession of H. Bea van, Esq. It is about 24 inches in length, and toes. sures nearly four inches and a half from the points of its wings when they are extended. The va. !legated and brilliant colours of its body and wings are beautiful, and entitle it to the distine, tion with which it is regarded by naturalists. About three weeks ago, a member of the So., ciety of Friends, as he was walking one night in Cheapside, after having taken more wine than, he was accustomed to drink, met a young female. who prevailed upon him to forget himself, hi 4 wife, and children, and to accompany her to a well known house of entertainment in Elbow-, lane. The Quaker treated his fair companion to oysters and punch, and became so facinated with her conversational qualities that he' detertnine'd not to Eome till [naming. lie awoke at 'an hour when he ought to have been biS business, and on searching his pockets foe . money, with which to discharge his r e ck o ni n g, found that he had not a farthing. This was a pain.. ful dilemma, for he perceived to his astonishm'en't., that the young is ly , who bad been so disiuterest edly attached to mins all night, turned like A. serpent upon him ; in other. language, (!. Wowed him up," called him a shabby rascal, and d—d his eyes and limbs, ale appealed to the woman of the house, who, although a very civil and respectable person while she was waiting upna him, suddenly joined the other -party against him. He did not know what to do. in vain he assured those ".whited sepule,iir k -s," that he would call again, and. pay them to the utter most farthing. They swore he should never leave the house until he procured the .means of discharging the debt, and they. accused him loudly and bitterly of liavin •deceived.a. poor young woman who had nothing but -her character to live upon. In consternation at this treatment, and suspecting something worse, the Quaker said he would give his check upon a banker, who resides in the neighbourhood of the Mansion-house, for three pounds, the amount of the charge for his entertainment, two of which were to be appropriated to the person who had so wickedly, he said, represented his wife, and the other to the landlady for her kindness and ;lc, commodation. The check was taken to his banke;, who, surprised at the smallness of the sum for which, it was drawn, hesitated about paying it. sup. posing it was either a forgery, or that it .had been extorted. The bearer of • the check sheaved a decent reluctance to mention front what house it was brought, but upon finding thqt concealment was dangerous, whispered that the drawer or it was up one pair backwards, with his wife, in a house in Elbow-lane. A clerk was dispatched from the banking-house, to Elbow-lane,wbere he found Obadiah locked up in a room. When the money was paid, the laticlq lady and the lady returned with wonderful ease and quickness to their former declarations of love and friendship.—(Morning Paper.) • Joseph Cole has been committed to the Bridewell, Devizes, charged with stealing kW , gallons of pig's victuals, value sixpence ! the prq4 perty of Thomas Hatherill, of Bremhill
