WINDSOR, Sarrawsza 1.

Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA, Sc.
companied by her Lady in Waiting, attended &vino
service in the new parish church. The sermon was
preached by the Rev. Mr. Gowns, Vicar of the
parish, who took his text from the first Psalm, first
and second verses. It being the first Sunday in the
month, the Mayor and Corporation attended in their
robes.
A numerous assemblage of the neighbouring
Nobility, Gentry, &c. were collected on the Terrace

usual practice both on Sundays and Thursdays.

LEAMINGTON, SErrgitsza 1.

full We continue vaey of company, which is ac-
counted for, in addition to the attractions of the
place, by the approaching Warwick Races. The
horses which are to run were entered at the War-
wick Arms Ina last night.
Last night the Dowager Duchess of Rutland
patronised the play of Kenilworth, which attracted
a crowded audience. The Duke of Grafton,
Ladies Fitzroy, Lord Fitzroy, and most of the no.
bility here graced the boxes in compliment to the
Duchess. Her Grace's play-bills were printed on
white wain. in imitation of those prepared for the
gisig when his Majesty honours a theatre with his
presence.
To-morrow the Duke of Grafton will patronise
the play of the Earl of Essex, which character is
to be sustained by Mr. Betty.
An attempt has been made to raise a subscription
for a Leamington race, to take place on the War.
wick race-course, on the day after the Warwick
races, but the necessary sum could not be raised in
time, till the gentlemen who have the management
of the Warwick races had finally finished their
arrangements.
During the residence of the Duchess of Glouces.
ter and the Princess Augusta here, they did not
attend the assemblies or the theatre ; the reason as-
signed was, the Royal Duchsss's health would not
permit her to go into hot rooms, where there were
large assemblies of people. When the Princes'
Augusta was solicited to go or to attend any place,
she answered, that she had come here to attend her
beloved sister ; she therefore considered herself
quite at her disposal. her Royal Highness's con•
duct would be regulated by her sister's. Their
Royal Highnesses commanded plays, and paid the
saute as if they had honoured the theatre with their
presence, and subscribed liberally to every thing.
The Royal Pump Rocis, Baths, and Prome-
nade Gardens are said to have cost upwards of
10.0001. There are several other spas or pump-
rooms and baths fitted up in a neat and handsome
style, which are all supported by subscriptions; but
the original pump and well, where the virtues of
the water were first discovered, are enclosed with a
stone building, erected by the Earl of Aylesford, as
Lord of the Manor of Leamington, at hisown expense,
and, in his great liberality, has refused all attempts
to purchase it of lain, to make a property of it,
being determined that as it is a remedy produced
by nature for the recovery and iniprovement of
health, that the public at large shall enjoy the free
benefit ; he also extends his public spirit by providing
an elderly female to attend to supply visitors with
the water, warm or cold, in glasses of various sizes;
and she has a cottage to reside in, belonging to his
Lordship, close to the well. Those who resort
there to drink the water make her a voluntary gra-
tuity on their leaving. Some of the first characters
resort to this well, uo doubt considering that the
original must be the best.
The generous Earl also erected a cold bath
beton the spring, for the use of the poor, but the
water, owing to the new bath since erected, not
rising to its level, sod decreasing in quantity, the
baths exclusively for the poor were of necessity
laid aside, contrary to the laudable and generous
intention of the Noble Earl.

The Earl of &snot, by the special commend
of his MAJIIITY, end in virtue of his office of Hero.
ditary Lord High Constable of Scotland, rode span
his MaJcsrv's right hand in the procession from
Holyreud House to the Castle of Rdinborgh, on the

We understand that the Rev. Lord WILLIAM
Souitiukse, has been appointed to a Prebendal Stall
io our Cathedral, vacant by the resignation of the
Rev. F. Bt.oussito.—(Britiol Mirror.)
