WINDSOR. JUNE 5.
-.....-

Yesterday being the Anniversary of the King's
Birth Day. the morning was ushered in with the
ringing of bells and other rejoicings. la the evening
the young gentlemen belonging to Eton College
had a regatta on the river Timmer on the occasion.
They proceeded in eight handsome fancy pleasure
boats as far as Surly HAII, where they landed and
partook of au elegant supper, after which they re-
turned in the same order as they went; the first
boat had ten ours, the others had eight each ; the
young Noblemen and Gentlemen in them were
elegantly dressed upon the occasion. They were
accompanied by two boats, in each of which were
bands of wind instruments. They returned back
to Windsor-bridge. About half-past eight o'clock
a discharge of fireworks commenced on the height.
in commemoration of the Sovereign's birth-day ;
their discharge continued till half-past Mute, when
the young Noblemen and Gentlemen were rowing
about its their boats, which considerably heightened
the effect of the aquatic fete. The fireworks were
allowed to have been the best that had been sten
there, and at the close the bands struck up God
sane the King.. The shores of Windsor and Eton
were crowded to excess. to witness the rejoicings,
with pedestrians, horsemen, and carriages of various
descriptions. The Town Hall, the Royal trades-
people's houses, and the principal inns, were bril-
liantly illuminated.

On Saturday the Earl of HAREWOOD had a
grand and numerous dinner party at his house in
Hanover-square; among the company were, Mr.
FAWKES. the Earl of ABERDEEN, Lord and Lady
Wm. Russzt.t., Sir JOHN BESESFORD, Mr. WENT.
WORTH, Lady PETER, &C. &C.
Public curiosity, as well as interest, has been
highly excited by Miss KistLit's bill of fare fur
her benefit this evening, at the English Opera
Howse. We heartily wish her all the success her
great talents deserve ; and have no doubt the pub-
lic will be delighted to greet her return, and that
Of their other long absent favourite, Mr. DOWTON,
to the hoards of a London theatre.

The sport at Ascot Heath. this week. promises to
be greater than has been known for many years.
The number of horses at the ground is snore C3lllll.
derable than has been for a long time remembered.
It is Understood that the PRINCE REGENT will he
at his cottage, in the Great Park. during the week;
and the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR is expected to take
this opportunity of witnessing the most favourite
amusement of our nation.

An author, speaking of the death of the late Prin.
OSP CHARLOTTE, introduces some curious CIAO.
cidences with respect to the letter C. Her mother's
name is CAROLINE—her own was CHARLOTTE—
that of her consort COBURG—she was married at
Carlton House—her town residence was Carni-Iford
House—the late owner of which, Lord CAMELFORD,
was untimely killed in a duel —her country resi-
dence was Claremont—not long ago the property of
Lord Ct.tv e, who terminated Ills own existence.
She died in childbed, and the name of her accoucheur
was CROFT, who committed suicide.

The principle of the alteration in the Assessed
Taxes we understand to be this—that by paying a
composition of 5 per cent. in addition to their pre-
sent Assessed Taxes for houses mid windows, and
of 10 per cent. for horses ■nd carriages, persons
may increase their existing establishment to any
amount ; but they may not add fresh articles : fur
example, a man by paying in per cent. upon Isis
present stud of horsey, suppose three, may, if he
likes, odd other three to the numbers ; but not
keeping any carriage, he may not now set up one
for the compositioie.
The new Loan forms a striking instance of the
obligation which Ministers owe to the superior talent
and intelligence of the Opposition. Mr. Gees-
FELL first called the attention of Pailiarnent to the
expediency of applyiug the Sitiking Food to the
Loan of the year, in the way in which Mini.
stirs have now applied it, in the year 1514. in a
speech which is now in print. He his urged this
measure, but urged it in coin, upon every new
Louis since 1814 ; and in the present Session,
about three wicks ago. submitted a distinct motion
on this suluject to lire House of Commons, which
Ministers opposed and defeated. They have, how-
ever, thought proi,er to adopt the plan su repeat-
edly pressed upon them by Mr. CastaLLL—thus
furnishing an additional and satisfactory itroof of
what perseverance in a good cause will effect, and
that truth and correct principles, however opposed,
will gradually make their way, and ultimately
e►tablish themselves.
