On Thursday last his MAJWITY was proclaimed
at the Borough of Abingdon. The Mayor and
Burgesses, in their full costume, accompanied by
their Member (Mr. MADERLY) proceeded throng!'
the town to the different stations where seeffoldiug
was erected, from whence Mr. CURTIS, the Town
Clerk, read the Proclamation, in an audible voice.
The whole ceremony bad a very imposing .effect,
and the rcene was entivelied- by an -exeelleet baud,
which played at intervals the national *Ohms of
God save the King." After this ceremony was
concluded, the Mayor and Corporation returned in
the tame order of procession, and the populace
were regaled with live barrels of herr, which added
net a little to the festivities of the day.

WINDSOR, PRIIIID•RII 4.
The cireurostsnce of nor late beloved Monarch
and Pttron having died within the walls of Wind-
sor Castle. rendered our worthy Chief Magi.trate,
George Davis, Esq. solicitous to attract the popu-
lar curiorily as little as porsible by any military
parade, on the proclamation of our present Sore-
reign. Witli the concurrence, therefore, of those
Arend. personages by whom such ceremonies are
regulated, the proclamation was this day read at
the Market-Cross, the Castle Gale, and the Bridge,
without any military display, or any other accom-
paniment which might have been inconsistent with
the peculiar circumstances of this borough. The
procession was in the following order
Charity Buys, two sad two, with black crape OD their
left arms.
Constables.
Mate Bearer.
The Mayor, •
Supported by Recorder, sad lobo Ramsbottoos, Esq.
Member for the Borough.
The Jamie',
Supported by the Tows Clerk, mud the ollicietiog aergynaa
of the Pariah.

Members of tie Corporation, accompanied by Gentlemen
of the Town.

♦t the south entrance of the castle, the proces-
sion was met by a deputation from the College of
Windsor, consisting of Dr. Goodall, one of the Ca-
nons, and Officers of St. George's chap.l. After
the proclamation had bee■ end, the Ws. C..tion,
and his attendants, retired.

On the return of the Corporation and inhabitants
to the Guildhall, the Mayne addressed those as,em.
bled in a very impressive manner. He returned
thanks to the gentlemen present for their owner-
out and respectable attendance. The double cala-
mity under which the King and the Royal. Family
were suffering. rendered it necessary that they
should all depart to their houses. without at pre-
sent manifesting those constitutional feelings or
gladness which were called for by the accession of
his present Majesty. While their beloved Milder
and revered Sovereign was now lying tanentombed
within those walls which had been so often gl4clileii-
ed by his Kerence, the most silent tribute of affec-
tion to the present Monarch would be the inost
respectful. 011 a future occasion he hoped to call
them together to celebrate the Accession of
George IV., a Monarch whose principles of attach.
inent to the laws, and of offeciion to his people,
would in the proper season demand the warmest
demonstrations of joyful attachment.
The Mayor, who had in his habits of business
many opportunities of witnessing the kindness and
condescension of his late hlajesty, was so over-
powered by hi* feelings, at the conclusion of his
address, that he was obliged to be led out of the
flail.
