WINDSOR, AUG: 4.---Yesterday his MAJESTY, accom panied by his usual attendants, with his regular retinue of out riders and grooms, with saddle horses, left the Royal Lodge at half-past two o'clock, in his pony phaeton, followed by the at tendants in the double-bodied pheaton and a single one, and continued airing in the Great Park until nearly five o'clock, when his Majesty drove to the marquees at Virginia Water, where dinner was served up in the principal one. After dinner his Majesty and attendants embarked in the royal cutter. His Majesty has made a trial of the boat lately launched upon a new construction, but finds it does not answer ; it makes but little way, and lays heavy on the water. His Majesty in gene ral amuses himself with angling while on the lake, and is very successful. His Majesty and attendants leave their phaetons occasionally and ride on horseback. At nine o'clock his Ma jesty and company returned to the Royal Lodge.—This day his Majesty will entertain a distinguished party at the Royal Lodge.—This morning the Gentlemen of Eton, with all the Officers of the town, perambulated their boundaries, preceded by the band of the First Regiment of Life Guards. BRIGHTON, AUG. 4.—The Duke of York returned yester day from Eastbourne, to the Pavilion to (line. I have this moment (two o'clock) met his Royal Highness on foot, in North-street, where he was walking immediately after a hearty shower of rain. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond left Brighton yesterday evening for their seat, Goodwood Park, near Chichester, where they arc gone to prepare for the recep tion of the Duke of York, at the Goodwood Races. The Duke of Argyll remains at Brighton. Lord and Lady Cochrane arrived here on Tuesday, but made only a few hours' stay, and then passed on to Tunbridge 'Wells. ..Lady Byron arrived in the Roads on the same day. Her Ladyship landed with her suite, but re-embarked in a few hours for Southampton.— The arrivals here continue to be very numerous.

EARL DALIFIOU sr E—Yesterday, Earl Dalhousie, Governor. General of the Canadas, together with his family and suite, embarked on board the Herald yacht, at Greenock, in order to return to the seat of his Government. His Lordship embarked about noon, under a salute of fifteen guns from the Nimrod cutter, which was returned by the Herald as soon as she got under weigh. She proceeded to sea with light winds. The wind has since proved contrary, which must retard his Lord ship's progress. On Saturday, the inhabitants of Greenock gave an elegant public dinner to his Lordship. The entertain. ment went off in fine style. About 140 Gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood were present. Amongst the company were the Lord Justice Clerk, A. Campbell, M.P., Sir Gabriel Wood, Colonel Ramsey, Mr. Wa:nace of Kelly, &c. &c. Earl Dal housie's return to Canada will be hailed with satisfaction, and under his paternal Government these valuable Colonies and appendages of the British Crown will certainly rapidly increase their population, wealth and prosperity.—(Glasgow Courier, Aug. 2.) SEIZURE OF TIIE COURIER FRANTAIL-T l .O following account is given in the c...a.eationnel of Tuesday re epeettng we seizure of the impression of the Courier Francais two days before.—" The whole impression of yesterday's Cou rier Francais was seized this morning. It contained, among other articles, an extract of a letter from M. Mollard, a mer chant of Lyons, who has not long since embraced Protestantism. M. Haller, a newly converted Catholic, , has recently published his profession of faith, and several Journals have highly praised his abjuration, and have not been sparing in abuse agairst those of a different belief. M. Mollard has in his turn thought proper to announce the reasons of his change of worship and belief. What he has said is to be found in a number of Protes ant books ; and besides, made use of the right granted him by liberty of conscience, the charter, and the necessity of answering the attacks of which he had become the object. Nevertheless, his profession of faith is, it is said, the cause of the seizure of the Journal which has criticised it. We do not think that such a proceeding will have any serious consequences. The dissen tient worships, acknowledged and protected by the charter, are too much exposed to the attacks of some bigotted int n fJr alarm not to he raised at a judicial attack on the faithful of the reformed church. What things are not said every day from the pulpit, and printed in past:)ral letters against the laws of the State, and which at most draw down some insignificant censures ?" As a great part of the revenue of the llaytian Government, which it is said is to pay the ex orbitant sum of six millions for its recognition by France, is derived from commerce, it is not uninteresting to know what are the import du ties payable at the Custom-house of the Black Republic. An American paper gives the fol lowing as,the principal provisions of the new Ta. ritf of Hayti—viz., the equaliyation of the duties on goods imported in foreign vessels—the ad mission of goods in entrepot for six months, sub ject to only one half the fixed rate of duties ; and the imposition of a fixed duty of 2 dollars 50 cents per barrel on flour, and 1 dollar 50 zeuts per- 100:b., on rice. The import duties on tl'e products of all countries, without distinc tion, are fixed at 12 per cent. on the official va luation. The law will be in force on vessels from the continent of America in two, and in vessels from Europe in four mouths, after the promulgation, which took place on the 13th of A Correspondent has remarked to us, that, in visiting Winchester Cathedral lately, lie has seen with great satisfaction that the Kings, JAMES the First and hill son CHARLES, are placed in the niches of the New lireett ; this is as it ought to be, as they were a Royal gift, and are most ele gantly done ; they are in bronze, but have been varnished by some nnclassical hand. It is also said that the monuments of Bishop Wit.ms and of Sir VI LLI ERS CIIERNOCKE are to change places; this is most devoutly to be wished, both by the Christian and the Antiquary, as the Bishop is supposed to be in the act of rising on the Day of Judgment, but by a singular error be is looking to the West. The ground on which the notorio us d ust h eap stood, at the end of Gray's-inn-lan e , sold for 15,0001. It is to be built upon. The dust and cinders upon it are transferred to the Thames, thence to be shipped for Moscow, to Aid in the rebuilding of that celebrated city. P 0 E 'l' it Y. TliE SEA BOY'S DREAM. The t:mpest had ceased, and our ship was secured, For the roar of the whirlwind in sighs died away: In their hammocks, the toil wearied crew were all moor'd, Save the watch that look'd out for the dawning of day. When as sleep o'er my senses her soft mantle threw, In the visions of midnight, hope lur'd me to roam Over seas, shores, and mountains, transported I flew, Till my heart wander'd back to the scenes of my home. 1 dream'd that our cottage latch slowly I rais'd, And beheld each dear object of former delight ; A father—whose dinnii'd eyes with tenderness gaz'd, And the tears of a mother were sweet to my sight. A sister whose lips on my cold cheek impress'd, lmplor'd me no longer o'er ocean to roam ; But my heart beat tumultuous when clasp'd to one breast, Whose heart throb'd responsive to welcome me house Then I stray'd thro' the bowers, where my footsteps so oft Had rov'd when my hopes and existence were young, The boatswain's shrill whistle here pip'd us aloft, Yet I 'twas the lark from the wild wood that sung. But the visions that cheated my fancy were fled, I awoke, still to gaze on the billows wide foam And I sigh'd as I look'd from the mast's giddy head, For the peaceful retreat of my own mountain-home. MONUMENT To the MEMOR Y of the Late BISHOP of WINCHESTER. On the dexter side of the Communion TUble, in the Chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin in the Cathedral of his Episcopal City, has been lately erected a Monument to the Memory of the late Bishop NORTH ; it IS executed by CH•NTREY in his very best style ; the cost 200 guineas.— The Bishop is kneeling, and in the act of prayer; the likeness is amazingly good, and the whole does great credit to the sculptor.—The following is the Inscription ; it is said to have been written by the Venerable Dean ItiairiELL:— : S.

Townshend Forester, 8.A., Jesus College; Henry Roberts, 8.A., Trinity College. On the 28th ult., the Bishop of Peterborough institntuted the Reverend John Johnson, M.A., upon his own petition, to the vicarage of Little Houghton with Braytield on the Green annexed, in the county of Northampton, void by the cession of the said Rev. John Johnston. The Rev. Henry ituliard.

The Fourteenth Anniversary of this Institution was held on Tuesday last, at the Shire-Hall, Hertford, and was as usual numerously and respectably attended. Soon after twelve the chair was taken by the Hon. IVILLIAat LAMB, M.P. who commenced the proceeding :4 by observi ng , t h at h e was perfectly ignorant of the contents of that report which would be read to the meeting : he was not at all aware whether the information to be communicated was of a discouraging or of a pleasing kind. If the former should be the case, he for one did not feel inclined to despond, and, on the other hand, should the statements prove of a cheering nature, he trusted they would all unite in thankfulness to God as the great source of their success. —He then took' a brief view of the Society's single ob ject—the circulation of the inspired volume ' • and observed that at one time he had viewed the exertions of the Society as of importance chiefly in reference to the distribution of the Scrip tures at home; but he confessed that his opinion had changed on the subject, and that he now had recognised the equal im portance of the society's foreign operations. As soon as the report had been read by Mr. Cromwell, one of the secretaries, the customary resolutions were moved and seconded by the fol lowing Gentlemen : the Rev. T. Fielde, vicar of Stanstead ; Dr. Steinkopff, foreign secretary of the parent society; Rev. M. M. Preston; Rev.J.Anthony ; Rev. W. S. Austin, late chaplain to his Majesty's forces in Demerara; Edw. King Fordham, Esq. ; the Rev. R. Smith, of Berkhamsteatl ; Rev. C. Maslin ; Rev. W. Dealtry, rector of Clapham ; and Rev. Dr. Ch a tfield, vicar of Chatteris. We regret that our limits will not allow us to do justice to the candid and eloquent address of the Honourable Chairman, and that for the same reason we are obliged to omit the affecting appeal of the visitor from Demerara, on the subject of slavery. This gentleman dwelt at some length or: the value of the Bible, in restraining the excesses of manyin that unhappy insurrection which took plac e i n t h e i s l an d of which he was a native ; he added, that when surrounded by a large party of armed men he read this passage, ‘ Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers—the p o w ers th at b e are ordained of God." The negro Chief actually stripped off his accoutrements, and laid them at his (Mr. Austin's) feet,— After this interesting meeting there was a liberal subscription at the doors.—(Canibridge Chronicle.) ELOPEMENT PREVENTED.---Last night it was discovered by her family that Miss AMELI.t M—o —r., of Thornhaugh-street, had absconded with a young gentleman about seven o'clock in the evening, and that the parties had left Totten ham-court-road in a post-cftise. An instant pur suit was the consequence, and the father, having obtained a horse, came up with them 14 miles from town, and brought the young lady back. At Castle Cary, on the 19th ult., the Lord Bishop of BATH and WELLS held his visitation for the Deanery of Cary; previously to which his Lordship confirmed about 100 females, and 220 males—at Burton, on the 21st, 88 f ema les and 173 males—at Wineanton, on the 22d, about 396 females and males, among whom was a man aged 91 !—at Yeovil, on the 25th, bin Lordship confirmed about 140 fernnles and 190 males, and afterwards held his visitation for the Deanery of Yeovil.--f Taunton Courier.) F uit ioo DUIVING.—A bout 11 o'clock last night, as ilr. WiLstoT, of London-street, Was crossing over Tottenham-court-road, a carriage with a yellow body, which was driving at a most furious rate knocked him down, and the Wheels passing over him, he was so seriously injured that great fears are entertained of his recovery. ANECDOTES, &c. A mnrr cox.—A Cornish Smith having been ordered for execution for a treasonable insurrection in the time of King HENRY VII., comforted himself at the time of his execution with the hope, that thereby his name and memory would be everlasting !—(Speed.) THE POPE'S TOE.—When the POPE held out his toe to be kissed by the Earl of WILTSHIRE, the Ambassador of King HENRY VIII., a spaniel belonging to the Earl caught the POPE'S toe in his teeth: the Ambassador, scorning to kisc after his dog, lost the special favour which had been proffbred to him.—( A CUTTING RETORT.—Archbishop TILLOTSON had by some means incurred the displeasure of Sir JoHN TkEvort, Speaker of the House of Commons, from which he had been expelled for bribery. Sir Joim, one day meeting the Arch bishop, cried out, " I hate to see an Atheist in the shape of a " Churchman."—" And I," replied TILLOTSON, " hate to " see a knave in any shape." LIBERALITY.—The venerable Bishop of Durtrusi, now fast approaching to his hundredth year, has, with his usual liberality, presented to the different Mechanics' Institutes within his Diocese no less a sum than 1,009/.—(Hull Packet.) ANECDOTE.-1110nSieUr DE LAGNY, of the Academy of Sciences at Paris, who was a great calculator, having become insensible in his last illness, Monsieur MaurEaTuts ap proached his bed, and endeavoured to rouse him by calling loudly several times ; at last he exclaimed, " Monsieur De Lanny, what is the square of twelve ?"—" One hundred and forty-four," answered the other ; and in a few minutes after expired. THE FIRST MACIIEATIL—When WALKER, the first re. presentative of GAY'S predatory hero, was performing the cha racter on the 72d night of the piece, he happened to be a little at a loss. Ric'', the manager, observing the lapse, called out, " IMIo, Mister, I think your memory ought to be pretty good by this time."—" So it is," said WALKER, " but zounds! is my memory to last for ever ?"

SUDDEN DEATH OF MIL FELL.—AIIIOII4 the various vicissitudes of human life which we have had to record, the sudden death of WILLIAst WALTER FELL, Esq., who but a few days ago was elected to the lucrative situation of Stipendiary Magistrate at Manchester, is one of the most af flictive. Mr. Fell had availed himself of the interim be tween his election and assuming the duties of his office to arrange some business, for which the Sessions at Kirk dale, near Liverpool, afforded an eligible opportunity; and, on his return from thence, on Monday afternoon, to Liverpool, he stopped at the Crown Inn, Redeross-street. Having there taken his place to go by the New Times coach to Preston, on the next morning at five, he dressed and went out to meet some friends. He returned to the inn between 11 and 12, appa rently in excellent health and spirits, and, after giving direc tions to be called soon after four in the morning, to be ready for the coach, he retired to his bed-room. A four o'clock the porter knocked at the room door, and receiving no answer, again knocked in a louder manner. The knocking, however, not being attended to, he retired to inquire whether any other person had been placed in the same room. Finding that there was not, he returned, opened the door, and found the unfortu nate gentleman lying, undressed. upon his back, upon the floor and insensible. The porter called his master, and imme diately procured a surgeon, who found that the vital spark had fled. prom the impression on the bed and pillow, it appeared that Mr. Fell had lain in it for some time, and that, probably, upon being seized with indisposition, he had got up to call for assistance. A special Inquest was convened yesterday, before th e Coroner, William IVlolyneaux, F.sq., attended by Sta tham ; and upon the evidence of the medical gentlemen, 0 e verdict of the Jury was, that he died in a fit of apoplexy. Mr. Fell was in the prime of life (we believe about '46), had at tained considerable eminence in his profession as a barrister, and was deservedly much esteemed by the gentlemen of the profession,. and a large circle of friends. The poignant grief of his amiable wife and family will be more easily lime:led than it can be described, from the dreadful disappoinumnt they would suffer, as they expected him at Preston on Tuesday, for the first time after his new appointment.—(Liverpc of Cour.)

QUEBEC, JUNE 28, 1825.—The large ship, the Baron of Renfrew, was safely launched on Saturday last, the 25th, at one o'clock in the afternoon. She had, in the attempt, on We Saturday previous, stopped on her ways, owing to the grease being consumed by the fire. She went mnjestically into the water, and afterwards drove up with the flown; tide near the town. On the tide ebbing, the Hercules tow-boat took her down the channel of St. Lawrence, North of the Island of Or. leans, where she was anchored a little to the North West of the anchorage-ground of the Columbus.—The Baron of Ref/PAZO looks much better in the water than the Columbus did, her breadth being ten feet greater. She exactly corresponds, in shape, with the Columbus: hut is, upon the whole, superior in im.ny respects to her. It is understood that she will not sail before the end of July.

Calves CORONERS' INQUESTS. • Yesterday an Inquest was lipid at the Crown. and Anchor public house, Great Guildford-street, Southwark, before C. CARTER, Esq., on the body of Mr. J. Tijou, a painter and glazier, lately residing in Silver-street, Loman's-ponii, who came by his death under the following shocking circumstances-r From the evidence,,it appeared that the deceased, who wan f,3 years of age, had been for some length of time afflicted wi the rheumatic gout, which rendered him incapable of - moving about, and confined him to his bed. On Monday morning last, abouthalf-past 8 o'clock, a fire took place by some acei; dent or other, which was not explained, in a room brit metliately underneath that in which the deceased,riwas confined, and in which was deposited a quantity of hay and straw. These combustible msterials having been stoo'a in a blaze, the smoke ascended in volumes, and pie trated the ceiling, which was broken in many parts, itto the deceased's room, and filled it with a dens' smoke. Soon afterwards the tries of the deceased were heard, when Mr. Kendrick, one of the neighbours, who has saved some lives by his intrepidity at recent fires, happening to pass by, .he pushed up stairs, and at the imminent risk of his life, entered the room, which was by this time completely filled with smoke, and on his hands and knees approached the bed on which the deceased lay, who then appeared to be dead. Several parts of the room now being on fire, Mr. Kendrick with the greatent difficulty saved his own life by retreating in the same manner he had gone in, having sustained considerable injury. Before he made his escape the engines were arriving; the tire was ex tinguished, when the body of the deceased was discovered burnt in a shocking manner. A verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned. An adjourned Inquest was held yesterday afternoon, at the Goat, Arabella-row, Pimlico, on the body of Samuel Ccok.--- The deceased Is 61 years of age, and lived in Princes -street, with a woman named George. On Friday last they quarrel led, and the woman kicked the deceased very severely in the groin. He complained of the violence of the woman, and an in. flammatipa of the bowels having ensued, the man died. The surgeons were of opinion, that the man's death was caused by the kick, and they returned a verdict of Manslaughter against the woman. MORE COMBINATION.—A young man of the name of Thomas Conaty, an apprentice of Mr. Morton, ship builder, had a narrow escape on Sunday evening from being the victim of that lawless spirit which unhappily still pervades the working classes in this city. The young man had gone with his wife to visit a relative, who lived in a cellar in Torag. end-street; and while there, a man came to the stair-head as d looking into the cellar, said, " I see him ' • there be is," Cc . naty's wife looking up and seeing a number of men about t! o door, hastily secured it ; soon after which the men dispersed. Conaty afterwards applied . to the head police-oilice, and vas provided with an escort, who saw him safe to his lodgings.— (Dalin Morning R sitter.)
