WINDSOR, 81' T DAY, Berr. 11.

About three o'clock this afternoon, the King arrived at'
the Castle in his phaeton. Mr. Wyatt, the areMtect,'
was in waiting to receive his Majesty, who alighted from
his phaeton, and proceeded through the different parts of
the Castle, where the improvements are making, and
are proceeding rapidly. Mr. W. had the honour of attend-
ing the Ring.
His Majesty attended divine service this morning at the
Royal Lodge, which was performed by the Rev. Dr.
Sumner. . _ -

The Princess Augusta, accompanied by her Lady in
Waiting, attended divine service this morning at the
parish Church, at which a sermon was preached by the
tell. Mr. Gossett, Rector of the parish.
This morning the first Life Guards marched from the
Cavalry Barratkr, 'Nth their fine baud playing in front, to
the barrack equare of the Foot Guards, where the Chap..
lain in waiting performed divine service. In the after-
noon the bands of both regiments attended, and played
alternately on the Terrace, which, as usual, was thronged
with company.

The 3d instant was celebrated at Weimar as a double
festival, via. as the .50th anniversary of the Grand Duke's
Government, and also of his u3artiage, called in Germany
l• The Golden Weddinc."

A correspondent writes as follows :—A fracas took place
on the lit inst., between the Duke of Richmond and an
inhabitant of Chichester, known by the appellation of Mr.
Gentleman Cobden, in consequence, it is said, of the latter,
and two of his companions, having been found by the
Duke to person trespassing on his Grace's grounds, at
Grayling-IVell-farm. The affair is expected to furnish
work for the gentlemen of the long robe.—Beig4lon
Herald.

6ir William Curtis, Bart. has arrived at Plymouth, in
his yacht the Emma, from St. Petersburgh, last from Fal-
mouth.

Mr. Laniard has declared his intention of not coming'
forward again as a candidate for the representation of Ips-
wich, whenever • dissolution of Parliament takes place.—
Cambridge Chronicle.
ENGLISH Omit. Honsa.—On Saturday night the
Stout Gentleman was repeated for the second time; but
the audience, from the commencement, expressed their dis-o
satisfaction, which, in the second art, became so energetic,l
that it was thought prudent to discontinue the performance.
Mr. Bartley then came forward, and said, that it was the
object of Mr. Arnold (the proprietor of the theatre), in
catering for the public, to produce such pieces as he thought
might entertain and amuse them. Such was his object in
producing on the stage the musical farce of the Stout
Gentleman, and which, he thought, would meet with
their entire approbation. The author of the Stout
Gentleman had written many pieces for the English Opera
House, and other theatres, and which had generally been
successful. On the former night it was considered that the
piece had rut received a sufficient trial; but on this occa-
sion it hail had that trial, and the audience appeared
to be unanimously against it; it would, therefore, be en-
tirely withdrawn. (Applause.)
The Tefescope of yeatenlay say-s, "We have authority
to contradict the statement that Miss Paton is now the wife
of Lord William Lennox. There are papers in London
that will state any thing, for the purpose of pulling them-
selves, and having their assertions and Journals quoted in
the Provinsial Newspapers."
It is not, perhaps, generally known that Tam, the
glory of the French stage, received hi: histrionic education
in London. He was born in Paris, in the year 1770, and
at the age of eight, his father, who lived in London, sent,
for him, and the future Roscius of France was, after a few
rears spent at a boarding-school in the neighbourhood of
Lambeth, articled to a surgeon. His theatrical propen-
sities, however, had made themselves so well known among
the foreigners in London, that Bir John Oallini—the Al-
bert
of his day, then superintending an amateur French
Company, at the Hanover-square Rooms, applied to
Telma, and he played in a succession of comedies ; among
others, in Beaumarchais' Barber of Verille, then at the
height of its fame, in which Talma sustained the Count"
A/mavica. Telma is now at Brussels, and on Wednesday
last performed the part of Munliur, in the tragedy of that
name.

LEARNED Soctsvies.—The Royal Academy of Paris
has proposed the following questions to the candidates for
the goldruedal distributed annually for the best work on
Statistics and Political Economy for 182 G, viz. " What are
the advantages to be expected from the opening of the
Canal de Monsieur, and the means of giving these advan-
tages the greatest and most expeditious developcnient possi-
ble, of rendering them lasting, and of obviating the incon-
v.miences by which they may be balanced ?" And for
1927, the following is the pubject " During the forty
years prior to the coronation of his llajtsty Charles X, the
extraordinary events and revolution which have taken
place, which must necessarily have hail an irresistible in-
fluence on men, manners. and literature, what have been
the effects at the periods in which the form and spirit of
the Government have experienced the most remarkable va-
riations, and what arc the most lasting remits?" The
best work in answer to the 'hove questions la to be reward-
ed with a gold medal and two hundted francs. The Royal
Academy of Sciences and Literature of Toulouse has pro-
the following question for 1948: " Whether is
reach literatire indebted most to the Greek or Latin
authors?"—e gold medal and three hundred francs. And
the Academy of Dijon, for 1w211,—" A comparison between
the works of St. Bernard and Bonnet, the characters of
the authors, and the influence of their writings in their re-
P?ect.ve ages."
Among the latest discoveries at Pompeii is a painting in

• IIEsitEFORD MUSIC MEETING.
' The exact sum collectili on Tuesday at the Cathedral,
for the benefit of the charity, was 26 V. 19s. 6d. On Wed-
nesday the collection efiquntecl to 10/. The plates were
held by the Dean, Mr. Clive; Ate other stewards, and the
ladies and gentlemen of the first rank and consequence in
the county. The amount of the tickets at the Cathedral
on Tuesday morning, was 871.1 ts. 6d., fife admissions be-
ing extremely low. The Conceit at the Shire-hall on the
evening of that day, was 1121. 103. Wednesday morning
at the Cathedral, the amount was 2561. 165.; the perfolin-
ance was the Messiah.

1 The spacious Shire-ball was extremely well filled en
Wednesday evening, with a brilliant assemblage, There
was a great display of diamonds and other jewellery ; the
dresses were mostly new for the festival.
The performances commenced by the Overture to
Tancredi, which was admirably performed. Mira Travis
gave the ballad " County Guy" with much sweetness, and
was encored. Signor de Begnis was encored in the Italian
piece by Rossini, in imitation of a composer directing
the band at a rehearsal of his new music. Miss Stephens
was quite at home in her favourite song, " Come, love, to
me,' by Bishop, in which she was deservedly encored.
Mr. Bellamy displayed his superior bass voice in the
" Battle of llohenlinden." Miss Paton was encored in an
Italian song, and in a duet with Signor de Begnis, " Gio-
vinetti," by Mozart. The second part commenced with a
new M.S. symphony, written by Dr. Clarke Whitfield, ex-
pressly for this festival, which was greatly applauded, and
will add considerably to his fame as a composer. The songs
allotted to Mr. Vaughan were obliged of course to be omit-
ted, owing to his lamented indisposition. The tenor parts
in the glees' which were to have been taken by him, were
supported by Dr. Chard.
Lord Somers, Lord Clarendon, and a number of other
diitinguished characters, were present.
Thursday morning's performance produced a consider-
able degree of novelty. A new sacred piece commenced
the Fedora:nice, called Offertnrie, consisting of a bass
solo, with ■ distant chorus behind the organ, by the pain-
Yipal singers only, which had a most sublime effect. The
performance was accompanied on the organ by Dr. Chard,
the conspciser. This was followed, by a piece called the
Resterrectio!, being the second part of the Crucifixion,
composed by Professor Clarke Whitfield, performed but
once before, viz. at the last festival. The Whole went off
with admirable effect, it being a masterly composition.
This concluded the first part.
Mr. Vaughan appeared in the orchestra fur she first
time, to the great satisfaction of all the performers, and all
who have the pleasure of knowing him. He sang the airs
allotted to him in his usual excellent style, but evidently
weaker from his dangerous severe illness.
