Thursday her Mriesty gave a publie breakfast to the
young geatlemen of Eton school after their Montrin, to
which their relatives and connection' were invited, also most
of the Royal Family, the Cabinet Ministers and their Ladies,
the great Wirers of State, and of the different royal house-
holds, and a numerous assemblage of Nobility, their families,
and persons of distinction. The preparations fur an enter-
tainment upon such an es terisi we scale, and the numerous
assemblage of visitors invited to be present, caused Windsor,
its environs, and all the roads leading thereto, particularly
that leading from London, to be thronged with company.
The cards of invitation were issued by the Countess of
Macclesfield, a* tiic lady iii by command of the
Queen ; and, that it might be perfectly understood to br a
morning entertainment, a note Wdi Milk(' to the cards of the
gentleman, stating that frocks and boots wonlil he admitte:l.
Froguiore House, premises, and groniiils, belougiog to her
Majesty,where the entertainment wsegivcii, is most riirid, and
the grounds are laid tint with the greatest taste imaginable;
yet upon this occasions some additions were matlnovliich have
been daily directed and inspected by the Queen and Princess
Elizabeth, since their return from London, but principally
by the latter, to whose direction arid lsnte the whole has been
principally intrusted.
The weather having been very favourable, it was deter-
mined to have it in marquees and tents, about fifty of whit•h
were pitched on tin; lawn at the back of the 'Rinse. The
splendid marquee which belonged to Tropes Saib was pitched
for the accommodation of the ()neon, the Prince Regent, the
other branches of the Royal Family, and their particular
friends, who were honoured by being specially limit-4 to sit
in the Royal presence and at their table. Some of the mar-
quees and tents were pitched among the elmster of shrub*,
evergreens, Ac. which hail a most delightful effect. Tory
were beautifully and tastefully ornamented with real and
artificial dowers.
The tables were splendidly and maenifirently covered with
gold and silver services of plate, and every thing was served
up in the first styli., and in a prufusimi worthy the Royal
Hostess. The ornaments and deranations to• the desgui I,
ss Inch was the most choice that could be procured, were
displayed and served up in a very superior style, the fruit
bona Hampton Court, Kensington and Kew Gardens, and
the royal gardens at Windsor. 'the bands of the Royal
Horse Guards and the Coldstream Regiment attended, in
their full reginientals,.and played alternately.
The Prince Regent, attended by Sir H. Rlooinfield,
left Carlton House, soon after one o'clock, to be present.
The Duke of York, attended by Sir Henry Torrens, left
to aril, for Windsor, at half-past eleven.

At a flower feast held last week, at the Star, at Cur:heath'
of the party (a young man) bating made too free with the
Juice a.r the grape, was tempted, notwithstanding the advice
iaf 1 s ti lends, to drink Olive glasses of neat brandy, and died
in consequence in about te. 0 hours.
At the Clerical Charity Meeting, held at the Angel Inn,
in Flory St. Edmond's, on Thursday last, the Rev. G. Stone,
of tiopton, was suddenly seized with a paralytic ht, just as

ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, 4v.

A few days since a brig was seen off Tenhy, upset, with
seven men* clinging to the wreck, who soon otter meta wady
grave.

The Louth and Griniby stage-coach was overturned a few
days ag'o, within live mile.: of the former place.-i—The
breaking down of' the coach appears to have arisen front its
being overloaded, there being on it at the titue stmentern oat-
side passengers. C. Philips, Esq. of Louth, had his leg
broken, and several per.ons were severely hurt.
Sulcinus.—SatirtAiy night or Sunday morning, a young
man, named Smith, poi..mied himself, at the Crown public
house, Seven Dials, where he lotb•ed. He had Fallen in love
with a young woman, another lodger in the house, who slight-
ed his addresses, and jealousy is supposed to have occasioned
the fatal catastrophe.
A short time since Mr. Robert FagA, landlord of fhe White
Horse, St. Lawrence,Thanet, put a period to his existence by
precipitating himself down a welt belonging to a neighbour.
ing house, of the depth of 27 fathoms, wilt re he was discos,
et; a short time after by a wounm attesropting to draw a bur.
ket of water. On the alarm being given, he WAS drawn up,
but tha vital spark was extinct. The hotly presented a shock-
ing spectacle: limit legs, one thigh, and one Mill being broken,
his skull fractured, and was otherwise much bruised. An
hints' was held on the hotly, and a Verdict of—Lunacy re-
turned.

PE.—Eduard F.rith, was committed for re•examina-
tioet, charged with has•ing emmnitlod a rape on the person of
Charlotte Harvey, of Friailsbers, was brought' ap and ex-
amined on Friday best. 'I he poor girl who was the victim of
his viole•nee, appeared to give her evideitee at the Mattis•
wanes Office ; she slated that the prisoner came into her
fathers shop, where she was sitting alone, behind the
vomiter, and asked to purchase some gooseberries, that he
fitstened the shop door, and telling her that he wanted to
speak to her, asked her to go with bin Into a hack room ;
upon her refirsine, be seized tier by the arm, and dragging
her in, Paste•ned the door, when hi psuceeded to conduct
himself with great violence email!, her ; uu her calling out
for assistance, he seized her by the throat, which he grasped
.vitlt such violence that site was almost strangled, and was
completely prevented from making tiny farther resistance.—
This statement being corroborated by the evidence brought
6rwalli OH the former exateina,:oiri and the prisoner, who
appeared to he perfectly indifferent, and even to treat the
business with levity, having nothing ter urge. its his defence,
was fully committed to take his trial at the enSaing Assizes
tar the eutinty.—(Csinterbery Paper.)
Meguseits.—A horrible murder was committed in Lisbon
last month, which has excited much interest. A Portuguese
Officer haring drawn his sword on one of his sisters, on the
interft•renee of Isis metAer, cat down and stabbed the latter
through the heart. The unfurtnnate oli:ecr of his first at-
tack was also desperately wounded ; and another sister, in
attempting her escape from the chamber where this tragedy
was performing, was precipitated down a flight ofstone steps,
and her kmll fractined.—The wretched anther of these
venues w is soon after arrested iu Mc street, but appeared to-
tally indifferent to the bloody deeds he had perpetrated.
A most atrocious murder and robbery was committed at
a village near Woburn, on Friday night hen, by an Irishman,
named P. Free, upon his companion, J. tikerrite—They had
been travelling in search of work, and had retired to an out-
house to sleep till morning. About the middle of the night
the inhabitants of the farmhouse adjoining were alarmed
by dreadful groans; when some persons proceesled to the
place, cad discovered Skerritt weltering iu his blood, and
his bead and various parts of his body manglod in a must
horrible manner.—They found a bill-hook !sing near bins.
He lived about 10 nsinntes after being t'ound ; and had just
streugtla to inform them that his companion had risen upon
him in the night, and having beat him with a bill-hook and a
large stick, rifled his pockets of about 335. stripped him of
his clothes; and left him.—A Coroner's inquest was held on
the following (Iv, and a verdict of wilful murder against
P. Free was returned'.

Last week was committed to Lincoln Castle, Elizabeth, the
wife of 4os. Warrincr, of Surileet, common carrier, on the
charge°, wilful murder upon the body of.l.Wairiner, her som
in-law, :shout the age of 12 years, who was found dead in a
Aretilie With a halter by the side of him, faskiied to the rack,
and a noose near to the head stall. Upon the Irot.'y In stn
ec-
aniiuetF+md opened by Mr. T. Itrocklesity,,of Cosberton, mid
Mr. W. Vise, of Spalding, sitrgeons, no marks whatever of
violence or of strangulation appeared about the neck and
throat, or the hotly, but a quantity of arsenic was discovered
in the coats of the stotta!R; end they state in evidence, that
the death of the deceased, in their judgment; was occasioned
by tie poison. Et iilence was also given strongly implicating
the said Elizabeth Worriner; slit, was accordingly fully com-
mitted for trial at the next Assizes.

On Tuesday last, the bud, of a yowl 4 woman was disco-
vered lying in a ditch, neat the Wiiiiworth Water, in the pa-
rish of Suttowrin Aslttield, in the comity of Nottingham. It
proved to be that of Elizabeth Shepherd, an interesting girl,
about 17 or IS' years of age, and daughter of is woman resid-
ing at Papplen ick, who 11411 loft home the preceding tray for
Mauslield, to (lignite after some work, and having succeeded
in her mission, was on her return home in the evening alone.
It is supposed thaishe had been way-laid or overtaken by
some red-flan, who, with a heavy bludgeon, or some such like
weapon, had beaten her about the head, and other parts of
the body, mail site was dead, and then threw her into the
ditell, atter taking fr her person a pair of shoes and an
umbrella. Her head presented a most shocking spectacle,
being so disfigured, dint her features could scarcely he re-
cognized; the brains protruded from the skull. and one eve
was completely knocked out of the socket, and lay upon her
cheek. Some quarrymniu, on going to work the nest morn.
ing, near the spot, obser.ed some halfpence lying on the
ground, which induced them to look further, when, to their
astonishment and horror, the mangled hotly met their sight.
through the hedge, lying as above described. From the
disordered state of the poor creature's dress, when found,
there is reason to conclude, that her assailant had made some
attempt upon her lily ; and it is not improbable, that the
itforts site made to resist hint, had aroused the fury of the
wretch, and determined him instantly to deprive her of life.
Near the spot whim the body wits discovered, a stick, or
hedge stake, has been found, besmeared with blood, which is
believed to be the instrumentwhich the mallet OHS
deed wits perpetrated.— It vunld appear, that the unhappy
mother was fated to meet the murderer of her hapless child,
on the highway, soon after the ho,rid deed had been com-
mitted, and not more than a mile Hutt, the place. Feeling MI
an sinus desire for the young woman's IVILIIII, she went tint
towards the evening to meet her; when a man passed het on
the way, with an umbrella under his arm, who, from various
corroboratii.e circumstances. there is reaam to presuine,"was
the identical Panderer. Nu tune was lust in asking search

after the ruffian. and it was soon ascertained, that be had
slept at the Three Crowns, at Red Hill, where lie had dilins-
ticl of a pair of women's shoes. From Red Hill lie was U arett
to Loughborough, and was arprehended near that town,
having sold the umbrella at the fianclitle's Arms, at ]thins.
He say his name is William Rotherham, that be is a native
of shi Meld, and by trade a ficisiar grinder. On examii.ing
hi, clothes, stains of blood appeared on various places. He
was conveyed heavliy ironed to Sutton.

AN ACCOM.PLISIIED SWINDLER.—The lotto wing ewe of
minding was developed before Alderman C. Smith on Tues-
day at the Mansion Honie; by Mr. Le M,:itre of Lom-
bardStreet.—A mail- or gentlemanly appearance called in a
cnrriele drawn by two spirited horses, at the White-house
Acatlemi', Great Kent-toad, of which Mr. Le Maitre's sister
is one ofrthe proprietors : he said he Caine to learn the terms,
to examine the situation, to be satisfied as to the principle's
upon which the establishment was conducted. Every thing
pleased him. He spoke of a dear daughter, who would be
delighted with the CIO:* prospect, and the liberal system of in-
struction; and insisted upon paying the entrance money upon
the spot ; he pulled out a 101. note, and desired the admission
(amounting to 10s.) to be deducted. A live pound note
was the smallest change in the house ; the proprietors how-
ever proposed to send a servant for change to a neighbouring
piddle house. " No, no," said their polite visitor, " the 51.
note would do now, when my duaghter cornea under your
protection to-morrow, you can sendine the rest of Ate eltanee
by my servant." The M. note was indorsed ''''Ready Gamave,
and Le. Maitre," and the 1101. note was indorsed " William
Harvey." The former is of the Rank of England ; the lat-
ter purports to be drawn for the house of Borman and Co.
Plymouth., and to be payable at No. 4, Mark-lane ; but Mr.
Le Maitre said, and the Alderman was of the same opinion,
that it would. never be paid there nor any where else.—Alder-
man Smith, upon looking at the note, said, the gentleman
knew his business too well to offer so ill finished an lush-u-
-m:lit to men of business ; but the ladies, though perhaps not
so easily deceived on other important occasions, wanted a
little penetration troll such as this. He regretted that the
only advice he mild give was that the circumstance should
be made as public as possible.
DisTuessixt; Oise.—Tire other day a lady, who did not
give her name, went to Queen Spare Office, and stated to
Mr. Colqu!notn, the Sitting Magistrate, that she had a sister,
a most andahle woman, who had been confined by her
hns-
baud 14 years, on pretence of her being insane, and that all
her own frivilds are prohibited from seeing her, and without
any cause on their part. Mr. Cio!pli,wr—" Madam, will you
be kind enough to inform me who, or what the husband is?"
Auswer—" Sir, I feel a diffidence at present to expose his
Nome. He is a 'Squire, a man of opulence, and 1 believe
well known to your worship." Mr. Colerthlan—" 1 have no
desire now to know it. The only way you can proceed is to
bring the hotly of your sister up by llabt-As Corpus." The
Lady thanked the worthy Magistrate, and left the office in
tears.
ROPOrilli OF Moon*. RuNDLE ton Borneo.— The state-
ment which has appeared in several pallets, ammuming the
recovery of the whole of • the jewels lately stolen from the
above firm, is without foundation. Property to the anemia
of 10,0001. or thereabouts has been regained. A most im-
portant circumstance, however, bas occurred towards the
complete developtment of the rolwery, namely, the appre-
hension of the Mdividnal who acted as inti-7.:eter to Bloom,
the principal delinquent, who wit+ secured while reading a
sentimental novel in an apartment at AiN.la-Chspelit, in
France. An application was made to the Mini,ter ofJost ice
four his detention, which was granted. lie will forthwith be
conveyed to, This coontry t and his more eorrt emwsatiion,
together with the residue of the stolen property, are cspecieO
to be in a short titre sinuLuiy %/twain.
