THE KING, &c. WINDSOR, SEPT. 11.—On Friday, the wind being rather high, his MAJESTY did not visit Virginia Water, but, at three o'clock in the afternoon, his Majesty, accompanied by the Lord Steward, left the Royal Lodge, in an open carriage, drawn by four beautiful bay horses, and drove by two postillions, attended by his regular suite of travelling domestics, and proceeded to Bagshot Lodge (which is eight miles from the Royal Lodge), where his Majesty paid a visit to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and returned to the Royal Lodge at six o'clock, where his Majesty was met by Baron Fagel and the Earl and Countess of Harcourt, who had the honour of dining with his Majesty.—Yesterday forenoon, Baron Fagel had an audience of his Majesty, when he took leave, and left the Royal Lodge for his residence in town.—ln the after noon, at two o'clock, his Majesty, accompanied by his usual attendants, left the Royal Lodge, for Virginia Water, where he enjoyed the diversion of angling, and was very successful. His Majesty did not dine at Virginia Water, but returned to the Royal Lodge at half-past six o'clock.—This forenoOn his Majesty, with the whole of his household attendants, heard Divine Service at,the new Chapel Royal. The Rev. Dr. Sum ner officiated.lt is expected that his Majesty will, in the course of his drives this afternoon, visit the Castle.—This forenoon her Royal Highness Princess Augusta, attended by Miss Wynyard, her lady-in-waiting, heard Divine Service at the parish church. It is now spoken of as a matter of certainty, that his Majesty intends passing the winter at the Royal Pavilion at Brighton. It is likewise said that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester will visit his Majesty at the Royal Pavilion, where her Royal Highness intends passing a few weeks. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE,—Married, on Saturday the 10th instant, at Saint George's, Hanover-square, by the Rev. Caler Elwin, the Rev. J. 11. Sparke, eldest son of the Lord Bishop of Ely, to Agnes, youngest daughter of the late Sir Jacob Henry Astley, of Seaton Delaval, and Melton Cunstable, Bart. and sister of the present Baronet. Mr. Croker, the Secretary to the Admiralty, has taken lodg ings for his family in Walmer-road ; and Sir John Osborne, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, has taken up his abode for a short time at that delightful and pleasant village, Walrner.— ( Kentish Gazette.) Mr. Canning and his suite spent yesterday at Bolton-bridge, on their return from the Lakes, and were to sleep last night at the Devonshire Arms.--(Leeds Mercury.) The royal Sovereign Yacht, Capt. Sir Win. Hoste, Bart. K.C.B. is to proceed to Antwerp on the 16th inst. to bring their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence to Eng land. THE THEATRE. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The Shepherd Boy was represented for the fourth time on Saturday, and attended by a very numerous audience. It is, in parts, one of the most affecting dramas, as we have before stated, that we have ever attend ed, and it derives all possible aid from the acting. The merits of Miss KELLY, in the plaintive style, often as they have excited sympathy and applause, were never more powerfully evinced than in this interesting piece, and COOPER, BAItTLEY, and KEELY, by sheir respective exertions, rendered it diverting as well as highly impressive. After this Opera The Stout Gen tleman again came forth, but was assailed by so formidable an opposition, that at length Mr. BARTLEY came forward and addressed the audi ence in the following manner : " Ladies and Gentlemen-1 am desired by the Proprietor of this Theatre to say, in catering for your amusement, his first object is to merit pour approbation. Convinced that on the former representation of The Stout Gentleman scarcely a fourth of the audience had heard it distinctly, he felt that (in justice to the great actor (Mr. Mathews), who sustained the principal character, and to the author, the writer of a consider , able number of dramatic pieces, for this and other Theatres, including Covent-garden) The Stout Gentleman ought io have a second and, if possible, a patient trial. Such trial it has had this night—your judgment has been clearly pronounced ; and it now only remains for me very respectfully to inform you, by desire of the Proprietor, that The Stout Gentleman has been withdrawn*" This address restored peace and harmony to the Theatre. We cannot but think that this farce has experienced too hard a fate. The original story was written by a popular author, and was generally known to the public. The writer who adapted it to the • stage had reason to hope that it would be there as entertaining as it had been in the closet. He appropriated the chief part to MATHEWS, one of the most favourite actors of the day, and that part was an ingenious pro longation of oneof a similar kind, in which he had been very successful. Characters also were allotted to COOPER, BARTLEY, and KEELY, and the incidents were of so whimsical a nature, that, with such powerful theatrical support, the Author might reasonably augur a successful issue. The Proprietor,however,has respectfully submitted to what appeared to be the sentence of the Public, though, after all, it was the decision of only a small part of the Public in general, and before another equal portion of the Public it might have experi enced a very different fate. The Farce is attri buted to Mr, PEAKE, a • gentleman of acknow ledged talents, and whose former productions possess so much merit, as sufficiently to secure his literary reputation from any injury that could arise from the present disappointment. ACCURACY OF THE FRENCH JOURNALS.—On I the Bth of August the Etoile and the Journal des Debats gave an account of a dreadful hurricane, accompanied with torrents of rain and hailstones as large as hens' eggs, which had done immense damage at Venice on the 23d July last ; but the Venice Gazette states that nothing of the kind has happened there ! The Royal Sovereign yacht, belonging to the King of ENGLAND, is now at Antwerp, and is vi sited by great numbers of persons, who admire its construction and magnificence. The Right Hon. STRATFORD CANNING is not expected to embark in the Thetis on his diplo matic mission to Constantinople, until the 26th inst. The Thetis is to proceed to, and return from Plymouth, previously.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. This day the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the County commenced before FRANCIS CONST, Esq. and a full attendance of Magistrates. Considerable difficulty arose in forming the Grand Jury, from the absentees and confusion caused by the crowded Court. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed them on their duties, and observed that, in his opinion, there was nothing beyond the usual nature of the Ca lendar to call their attention to. He lamented that the Calendar ivas so exceedingly great in point of numerical order, and some of the offences were of that kind the highest charged by the law, of which there were two or three charges for murder. The Learned Chairman having pointed out the nature of the duties, the Grand Jury re tired to their room. The Petit Jury was then sworn, and proceeded to the trial of traversed cases of misdemeanour and assault from last Ses sions.—Muirhead will not be tried at this Ses sions, his offence being committed within the liberties of Westminster. LONDON SESSIONS. This day the Sessions of the Pence for the City of London commenced at Guildhall before the Recorder, Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and usual Officers.—Upon the Grand Jury being sworn and usual preliminaries disposed of, the REcon.DEtt addressed them upon the presentments, and after alluding to the calender, and the offences which it contained, observed, he was happy to find the peace of the city had been so admirably preserved and such was the well known efficacy of the system, that many desperate offences were prevented orlcounteracted. After some other remarks the Grand Jury retired. A Common Jury wan then sworn. The Court proceeded to the trial of cases of assault, of no importance but to the parties concerned.

THE LONDON JOURNALS. the Supreme Authority, the French themselvei had instituted in the country. The pretext, on which he was condemned, without however, hav ing been heard or tried, is the following :—A few weeks before the capitulation, and when the war was carrying on against the French and the Royalist Spaniards, El Empecinado happened to be operating with his division near the town of Cazeres, in Estremadura, and had occasion to transmit certain orders to the local authorities of that place, connected with the service, which were not obeyed. Cazeres was noted for being favourable to the servile party, with which a clan destine correspondence was there kept up. El Empecinado, finding his orders disobeyed, and the movements of his division consequently pa ralysed, renewed them, adding, that if they were not immediately carried into execution, he would chastise the town for its treachery. They were again disregarded, and he marched up be fore the place. The traitors, in the meanwhile had organised a force, which was posted in the advances to the town. El Empecinado's division was attacked, and feeling indignant at the man. ner in which he was treated, he led his men on, overcame his opponents, and punished the ring leaders for their audacity. This is the crime for which he has suffered, although a solemn capitu lation intervened, as well as the lapse of upwards of a year, during which time he has endured all kinds of indignities, even that of being shewn about in an iron cage, like a wild beast ! El Empecinado, after the several armies had capitulated and the Constitution had been put down, retired home, unconscious of hay ing done any thing beyond his duty, and pro vided with a regular discharge and passport from the Royalist Authorities who had succeeded.— He was then near the frontiers of Portugal, and had he apprehended any future reproach, flight was open to him. This spirit of personal ven geance, to which the Spanish Royalists have been driven, from the moment they had the means provided for them by the French, must eventually be attended with serious consequences. It was early foreseen by the Duke d'A►►gouleme, who, on the Bth of August, and when at Andujar, on his way to Cadiz, issued his noted Decree, in the heading of which he declares, " That the Occupation of Spain by the army under his com, mand, places him under the indispensable oblige. tion of watching over the tranquility of the king dom," wherefore he proceeds to decree, Ist. " That no Spanish authorities shall imprison any person, without the previous consent of the French commanders ; Rdly. The French commanders shall demand the release of all persons imprison ed in an arbitrary manner for political motives, especially soldiers, in order that they may return home," &c. The manner in which this decree was disregarded, as well as every capitulation made with, or sanctioned by, the French com manders, has spread incalculable misery over Spain. Not even the ashes of the dead find re pose in the tomb. Arco Aguero, one of the pa triotic officers concerned in the revolution of La DAILY Extracts. from the Morning Papers, Sept. 12, 1825. [PUBLIC LEDGER.] Notwithstanding the absence of all official or demi-official information on the subject, the con viction is gaining ground that we shall very shortly.have a dissolution of Parliament ; and, in consequence, the activity and address of elec tioneering partisans has begun to display itself in many of those cities and boroughs where a con test may be supposed to offer chances of a suc cessful result. It has been the policy of every administration rather to shorten the duration of Parliaments, than, by suffering them to run out their full term, to give a chance for the General Election taking place at a time which might be unfavourable to the interests of Ministers. As it would be unreasonable for any Ministry to anti cipate a period when, as a body, they would be more popular than the present Administration now is, we think it highly probable that, at the approaching meeting of the Privy Council, a dis solution may be resolved on. [MORNING HERALD.] We hope that the approaching Old Bailey Ses sions will not proceed with quite so unseemly a haste as has been the case of late. Formerly the tedious length of its duration was a serious tax upon prosecutors and witnesses; but this appears to have been, since the opening of a new Court, succeeded by a rapidity not quite congenial with the ideas generally entertained of the solemn forms of a Court of Justice. The Judges who attend are not at all amenable to this remark.— The very small portion which they take of the trials shews at once the time and attention they bestow upon their cases, compared to what some of the others must experience. When the life of a fellow-creature (or, what is often as dear to him, his character and liberty) is at stake, and the oaths and consciences of jurymen involved in every step that is taken, nothing seems less cal culated to promote justice, or the respect which is due to it, than an over-eagerness to arrive at the conclusion of the matter, and too quick a succession of objects to pass under the same judgment. We would not for a moment appear to intimate that any person appointed to preside as a Judge in the highest (for such it is in one sense) Criminal Court in the kingdom, is other wise than fully competent to the task he under takes. But it is a great point towards the object which our criminal judicature has upon the minds of the community, that nothing like undue haste should appear in its proceedings ; that time should be given for a full developement of circumstances —that, above all, the accused should not be de prived of the benefit of Counsel or of witnesses ; and that, on the other hand, all due means should be used to attain the ends of public justice if lie is guilty ; and that, on the other, no means of establishing his innocence should be withheld from him. That criminal trials do not proceed with all the caution, care, and certainty which used to accompany them, both at the Old Bailey and elsewhere, is evident, we think, from the nu merous revisions and reversals of verdicts which Isla, and a gentlemanly noble-minded man, was appointed Governor of Badajoz, when the Con stitution was restored, and whilst hunting, he fell from his horse, and died. lie was buried with honours which could only be bestowed by a grateful public. More than three years have elapsed since his death, and last month the mem bers of the Municipality of Badajoz, in conse quence of a resolution adopted them, went to the burying-place, disinterred the coffin, opened it, and burned the remains together with the in signia, &c. and threw the ashes to the wind. This took place early in the morning, and be• fare the inhabitants were up, otherwise a common have of late years taken place. Formerly the propriety of a solemn verdict of this description was questioned ; but now nothing is more com mon than to hear of the deliberations of juries being reheard upon affidavits ; and instances have, unfortunately, not been wanting where men have been convicted by Juries and con demned by Judges whose innocence has been subsequently established to every one's satisfac tion. This is a topic the agitation of which will not, we know, be acceptable in certain quarters. We impute no blame, nor do we mean offence to any one; but we think it our duty to allude at once fearlessly and openly to what is becoming a serious evil, if not timely and effectually checked. tion might have taken place, so much was this distinguished officer and commander beloved. [TILE TIMES.] It will be seen from an article under the head of Hayti—(see another column of linE SUN) — that the injurious effects of the recent -.nost unex ampled bargain between the French Government and Boyer of Hayti, are to be divided between the Negroes, who pay so extravagantly to obtain it, and this country, by which those bad conse quences might have been easily anticipated and averted, but were to all appearance overlooked. If English goods are to be thus effectually ex cluded from the ports of Hayti, it is obvious enough that the comfort of the Haytian consumer must be sacrificed in the same degree with the interest of the British manufacturer. So, if British. merchantmen be excluded, the ship-owners of France, having a monopoly of the carrying trade, will work the vicious privilege in the true spirit of monopolists, and to the injury of those for whom they carry. Should the treaty of recognition, as it is ridiculously termed,be suffered to produce its natu ral fruits, those fruits can or will amount to nothing better than the complete subjugation of the island to its ancient masters—to nothing better than ab ject slavery, bought by absolute beggary, and rivetted by an entire surrender of all means of recovering any political or commercial right out of which the poor betrayed inhabitants may have been bullied or defrauded. We do not hesitate to affirm, that on the part of Boyer there seems to us to lurk in every line of this compact the strongest internal evidence of treason to the Hay tian people ; nor shall we be surprised if before many weeks their sentiments on the subject are communicated to the President en a manner likely to impress itself very forcibly on his mind, and on that of his successors. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The feeling of horror and indignation at the barbarous manner in which El Empecinado has been put to death by orders of King Ferdinand, for whose liberation and restoration he fought and exerted himself much, , seems uniform and general. Indeed, it may serve as a specimen of the man ner in which justice is at present administered in Spain. El Empecinado was originally a Car bonero, or dealer in charcoal, and from this em ployment the nick-neme he ever afterwards re tained is derived. He was one of the first Guerilla Chiefs who raised the standard of op position to the French, and in the province of Guadalajara early took the field with a small band, chiefly composed of men of his own occu pation, over whom he had ascendancy. This party, accustomed to every kind of hardship and privation, was extremely useful, being always out in the country, cutting off the enemy's com munications. On the retreat of the French beyond the Ebro El Empecinado and his men particularly distingushed themselves. They frequently co-operated with our own di visions, and the name of this bold and persevering patriot was repeatedly mentioned iu the public dispatches of the day. After the return of Ferdinand, in 1814, he retired to his home, and chiefly spent his time iu domestic pursuits, although distinguished . by several marks of special approbation from his Sovereign. He did not step forward in public till the revolution of La Isla had been completed, and when, it will be remembered, the King adhered to the Consti tution, and solemnly announced this his determi- [MORNING POST.] nation in his memorable Decree of the 9th March, •We received last night Brussels Papers of the 1820, addressed to the Authorities and people, 10th inst. They contain long extracts from the and in which he says—" Spaniards! pursue the Austrian Observer, which, of course, represent Constitutional path, and I will be the first to lead all the operations stated to have taken place in you on." From that time to the late invasion of the Morea in the course of July, as uniformly the French, El Empecinado took no other part advantageous to the Egyptains.
