B.—Yesterday afternoon his MAJESTY left the Royal Lodge, accompanied by the Lord Steward, shortly after two o'clock, and passed by Cumberland Lodge for Virginia Water, on the margin of which place there is now erecting a Chinese building, called the " Fishing Temple," the wings of which will project some distance over the Lake, and the centre will be fitted up for the convenience of taking refreshments during his Majesty's summer recreations there. This building, with other improvements 'slaking at Virginia Water, occupy a great portion of his Majesty's time when ab sent from the Lodge.—This being the Birth-day of her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, the bells of St. George's Cha pel anti the parish church commenced ringing early in the morning, and have continued without scarcely any intermis sion during the day. At one o'clock the usual salute was fired in the Batchelors' Acre, the tradesmen of her Royal Highness and their friends dined together at the Hope Inn, and their houses in the evening were generally illuminated. Her Royal Highness will return to Frogmore Lodge on Tuesday next, the 15th instant, from Bushy Park, where she is staying on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Clarence. DEPARTURES FROM TOWN, &c.

A.NECDOTHS, &c. NATHANIEL LEE.—This unfortunate author spent the last four years of his short existence in Bedlam. One day a sane idiot of a scribler ' was marking his calamity, and said, that it was easy to write like a madman. The poor lunatic immediately answered, " No, Sir, it is not so very easy to write like a madman, but very easy to write like a fool." VANITY.—A French Poet inquired of one of his friends what he thought of his last publica tion ? " I have finished the fifteenth canto," replied the friend, " and I do not hesitate to af firm that I have never read more beautiful and harmonious poetry in the French language." " I beg pardon," replied the author, " there it one thing in the language which I must confess is superior."—" Oh ! perhaps you mean Phedre, or Athalie ?"—No, I mean my sixteenth canto." NAPOLEON.--Napolco►► was passing the old horrible road along the Echelles de Savoye with his engineer. On a sudden the Emperor stopped, and pointing to the mountain, said, " Is it not possible to cut a tunnel through the en trails of yonder rock and to form a more safe and commodious road beneath it i"—" It. is possible, certainly, Sire," replied the man of science. " Then let it be done, and immediately," replied the Emperor. HIGH AUTHORITY.—Mr. CURILAN was once engaged hi a legal argument ; behind hilo flood his colleague, a gentleman whose person was re markably tall and slendor, and who had origi nally intended to take orders. The Judge ob serving that the case under discussion involved a question of ecclesiastical law ; " Then," said Curran, " I refer your Lordship to a 'Vet autho rity behind no., who was once intended for the church, though, in my opinion, he is litter for the steeple." AN ELDERLY LADY, in a declining state of health, was advised by Dr. Hunter, who relates the anecdote, to take lodgings in a village near town. She agreed for a suite of rooms, and com ing down stairs, observed that the balustrades were touch out of repair, and said they must be mended before she could think of coining. " 0 no, Madam," replied the good natured landlady, " that would be quite useless, for the undertaker's men hi bringing down the coffin would break them again immediately." Sett WILLIAM DA wEs, Archbishop of York, was fond of society, and at table relaxed himself by punning. Dining with his clergy for the first time after the death of his lady,he said he feared they would not find things quite so comfortable as in the time of his, dear Mary, and added with a sigh, " she was indeed mare pacilieum." Curate who well knew the lady's temper was none of the sweetest, ventured to say, " Aye, my Lord, but she was mare morleam first." The Arch bishop could not disguise his admiratiou,of the joke, and within two months gave the Curate a living worth 2001. a year. Soon after the death of NELSON, a man in the fleet who was ordered to pipe attempted to com ply, but failed in bringing, out the shrill tone; his Commander ~:aslonished, again asked him to pipe, upon Ivlich he made another attempt, but still unable to do it, the poor fellow threw down his pipe and burst into tears, exclaiming, " Poor Nelson's dead—l cannot pipe !—God bless him ; many a hard battle have I fought with him, and many a dreadful storm have I wea thered with him, but he's done at last—God bless him for ever." R EMA RIC ABTA: HISTORICAL MEMENTO.—The statement lately made, that the tree is still standing in the New Forest against which the arrow of Sir WALTER TYRREL glanced, and killed King WILLIAst RI) r us, is incorrect, as it appears that about the year 1745, the tree alluded to (then 645 years old), became so decayed, that the spot would, per haps, have been forgotten, if sonic other memorial had not been raised. Before the stump was removed, a triangular stone was erected by the Right Hon. John Lord Delaware, who then re sided at Boldrewood Lodge, in the New Forest. As the stone is greatly mutilated, by pieces having been repeatedly broken off by those who have regarded them as relics of antiquity, the following is a copy of the inscription, which, however, is now illegible : Ois the firs: side.—" Here stood the oak tree on which an arrow, shot by Sir Walter Tyrrcl at a stag, glanced, and struck King William IL, surnamed Rufus, in the breast, of which stroke he instantly died, on the 2.d day of August, 1100." Second side.-..." King William 11. being thus slain, was laid in a cart belonging to one Purkes, and drawn front hence to Winchester, and buried in the Cathedral Church of that city." Third si de.--" That the spot where an event so memorable happened, might not hereafter he forgotten, this stone was set up by John Lord Delaware, who has seen the tree growing in this place." A Latin inscription also recorded the visit of his late Ma jesty to the spot; and the repair of the stone by John Richard Earl Delaware, 1789. This stone stands in the bottom of a tine pleasant vale, about a mile from Stony Cross Inn, eleven miles from Southampton, on the Ringwood and Poole road.— . Soon after Rufus's death a small oratory was erected near the road (with a large stone cross near it), where masses were per formed for the repose of the King's soul; but this was discon tinued very early. Leland and Camden notice it. The site is not known, and the tradition would be soon forgotten, were it not that the inn is named thereafter. The family of Purkes still reside in the vicinity. A few years ago the last remains of the cart which conveyed the body of the King to Winchester was burnt in a solemn manner, the whole family of nukes standing round the fire ' exclaiming at intervals, " there is the last of old Rufus." Rufus's stirrup is still preserved in the King's house, at Lyndhurst; its width, at bottom, is 10A inches, and measured all round, it compasses two feet seven inches. It was formerly applied as a test for ascertaining what dogs kept within the forest should sutler expeditation e. cut ting off'three claws of one of the fore feet). If a dog could not be drawn through the stirrup, he was to undergo this operation to render him unfit to pursue deer. Tr►e FIRST PLACE of Wonsmr in the A CIIO POI.IS of Athens was the sepulchre of Cecrops ; upon which spot the Parthenon was afterwards erected. The Athenians preserved his tomb in the Acropolis, and that of Ericthonius, with religious veneration. Bence Clemens is of opinion, that tombs were the origin of all their temples. It is reported that, one of the steam-goats in thended for Greece has proceeded to sea. Last week a signal gun was fired at the pier at Brighton on a steamboat bein g observed, which was supposed to be the Dieppe packet. The fishermen :shortly reported it was a steam-boat proceeding to the Mediterranean. FATAL QUARREL-An Inquest was to ken before \V. JOYNER Ews, Esq. one of the Coroners for Gloucestershire, on Saturday se'nnight, at the Fishponds, near Bristol, on view of the body of George Pearce, a lad about sixteen, who was stabbed by a fellow-labourer in the coal-pits at that place. Having quarrelled about a candle wi►ich Pearce had broke in attempt ing to snatch from his companion, Wm. NVilliams, the latter made a desperate thrust at him with the pointed part of the candlestick, wh►ch entered his hack, passed through the lungs, and penetrat ing the heart, he died instantly. Verdict— ," Wilful Murder against Wm. Williams." LORD NUGENT AND THE GIVENAPPE MINING COMPANY. Yesterday Mr. COOKE, one of the Directors of the Gwenappe Mining Company, presented himself before Mr. Alderman Cox, at Guildhall, and expressed a hope that the worthy Magistrate would allow him to read and swear to a state ment which he had prepared to submit to the Lord Mayor that morning, but had been prevented from so doing in consequence of his Lordship's having left the Justice Room at an early hour. The statement he held in his hand was a complete refu. tation of the letter published by Lord Nugent., denying that he ever held any shares in the Company, or that he ever authorised any one to sell shares for him. Mr. C. said that he had travelled 200 miles, and had not slept for three nights in his anxiety to defend his character, upon which a slur had never been attempted to he cast until now. He had a letter, addressed to Mr. Stewart, under Lord Nugent's own hand, on which he would not utter a single comment, but which he was sure would appear to be a most unaccountable contradiction of his Lordship's public letter. In consequence of that letter to Mr. Stewart, he (Mr. Cooke) had waited on Lord Nugent on the 13th of Sept., when he found his Lordship engaged with company—he supposed a dinner party. He sent up a card, stating that he had the honoar to attend relative to the GwenappeCompany,and requesting to know when heshould tind his Lordship at leisure. Lord Nugent immediately left his company and came down to him, and so far from turning his heel upon him, as might be inferred from the style of his Lordship's recent letter, he remained in conversation nearly an hour and a half. As to the management of the funds of the Company, it would be put beyond doubt in a day or two, at a meeting of the shareholders that was about to be called, that there had never been the slightest misapplication of the money, the Directors having paid out of their own pockets every shilling of their ex. pences ; and with regard to the objects of the Company, he was sure it would yet be seen that the calculations of profit had been greatly within bounds. Mr. Alderman Cox said, his application appeared to be not as to any fraud committed upon the Company, but entirely a personal question of veracity between himself and Lord Nu gent, of which he, as a Magistrate, could take no cognizance whatever. Mr. Cooke said, he merely wished the Worthy Alderman to hear the statement he was about to swear to, that it might find its way into the newspapers, as the statements before the Lord Mayor had. Mr. Cooke then handed up the orCginal letter from Lord Nugent to Mr. Stewart, upon seeing the signature on which, he said, the check clerk at Messrs. Coutts's had expressed him self as having no doubt whatever that it was his Lordship's hand-writing, but on ascertaining Mr. Cooke's object, had begged not to be mixed up in the contention. [The document to which Mr. Cooke was sworn was to the same effect as his present and former statements on this subject.] The following is a copy of Lord Nugent's letter to Mr. Stewart : Pall-mall, Tuesday Evening, Sept. 13, 18t5. SIR—I have waited all yesterday and to-day, and have re ceired no communication whatever relating to shares, nor have I received from Mr. Cooke the check for the account which has been so unaccountably, and upon so many different pretexts, so long delayed. After this sort of conduct on your part, I must desire that my name may he instantly withdrawn from the Gwenappe Mining Company, and may not be used in any one of the forthcoming Companies, of which you spoke to me. I am, Sir, youts, Jr. 3 Stewart. (Signed) NUGENT. I must also desire that the check may he sent immediately for the amount of the shares you was commissioned to sell for me.

The King's Stag Hounds hunted a Deer on Monday, which was turned out of a cart for the day's diversion this side of Two-mile Broke, on the Bath-road, in a large field a short distance from the road. Half-past ten o'clock was the time - when Lord Maryborough, Master of the Hounds, ordered the Deer to be turned out, which was witnessed by a numerous field of sportsmen, numbers in gigs, and hundreds of specta tors on foot who were assembled. The Deer at starting took to the left, leaped a high hedge, through a large field, and crossed the Bath-road ; by this time the Hounds got scent, and went off in full speed through the inclosurcs towards Dancy, taking to the left by Chavey, across the fields, and re-crossed the Bath-road between Salt Hill and Slough, and ran with great speed through the inclosures towards Stoke Park, where he leapt the paling, and took refuge in a pool of water; the Hounds soon got him out, when he ran among a herd of Deer in the Park, and soon was taken, after a chace of upwards of an hour and a half.—At the Hunt last Friday the Deer was taken on the Hill to the left of Harrow, after along run. GAME SHOOTING. Mr. Montgomery of Warfield, Ilerks, undertook on Mon day to kill 60 head of game in eight hours, with a double barrelled gun, to hunt and to pick up his own game. The number killed was as follows, on the Oxfordshire-hills to the westward of Henley-upon-Thames. Mr. Montgomery break fasted at Shiplake, three miles from where he started, having bagged in three hours sixteen hares, nine pheasants, and eight partridges, total, 33. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the shooter having finished at Playhatch, three miles from Read ing, the whole produce was 26 hares, 22 pheasants, and 14 partridges, winning the match of 50 sovereigns by two head.

MANsToN-IfousE.—A Gentknian Who holds Shares in a Company called the Metropolitan Fish Company, applied to the Lord Mayor for advice in what manner to act, for the purpose of obtaining the amount of the deposits paid by him to the bankers upon the Shares which had been kindly allotted to him. He stated, that there was r.o pretence whatever for de taining what remained of the deposits from the Shareholders, as the Company had drawn its last breath. lie had, when the shares reached a premium, been advised to sell, but as he had no idea of gambling or encouraging others to gamble, and as he had been told that there were great probabilities of success, he locked up his shares upon which he paid 1/. each, determined to abide the result of the experiment. The proceedings of the Managers shewed how ill qualified they were to undertake an extensive business. They appointed Mr. Myers the fishmonger, to be a sort of nominal superintendant, and purchased from him his concern and business, which it is well known had been very great. He enlarged the premises at a considerable expense, and operations commenced. The Managers, however, presuming upon an instinctive knowledge of the business in which they had embarked, set up two or three concerns at the West end of the town, and placed over them persons, one of whom was wholly ignorant of the trade. Even the premises selected for the sale of the fish were considered by those who were capable of judg 'ing, wholly unfit, and Mr. Myers, the moment he saw them, declared that the fish could never keep. The predictions of failure began to pour in from all sides, and the business be gan to flag. Mr. Myers, who conceived that his old customers would continue to deal at the old shop, though he was no longer master of it, soon found out his mistake. His former cus tomers did not think it fair that the business of individualsshould be interfered with by a Joint Stock Company, and transferred their dealings to a less aspiring tradesmen. This defection upon the part of Mr. 'Myers's friends was not to be met by any advan tage operating as a counterpoise. The Shareholders, who could afford to buy fish, all considered it but fair that they should be provided with it at a cheaper rate at the Metropolitan Fish con cern than anywhere else, and looked very blank upon the thing. - when they were dealt with as if they were merely part of the public. After the Managers had wasted a great deal of money in dabbling in fish, Mr. Myers became rather uneasy, and, as he had not let the premises out of his possession, he determined that the Company should come to a perfect understanding with him. He succeeded, after a good deal of trouble, in obtaining 10s. in the pound upon the debt of the Company to him ; anti he now was busied in getting back the business he had lost to his old shop, which was once more in his own peaceable possession. The applicant said, that the least that the Directors, one et whom was Lord George Seymour, one of the Commissioners of Excise, could do, was to make a speedy division of what re mained of the deposits amongst the shareholders—The Loci. :MAYOR advised a meeting should be called of the shareholders, that the Directors should be required to lay before then: the state of its funds., and as the Company was in such an untortu nate condition, that an immediate settlement should take place.
