MYSTERIOUS APPARIPON AT WINDSOR.

On Tuesday a sentinel stationed on Windsor Ter-
race, near the nort r tower, saw a tall figure in black, slowly
stalking towards him. The sentinel addressed it. but received •
no answer, and ',he mytertous form continued to advance in
silence. So foot-tep was heard, and this circumstance, con.
peered with the gloom which reigned around, and the extra-
! ot denary deportment of. the figure altonether, excited in the
sentinel something of alarm.Eavity; spohgn to it .aain,
without obtaining any tesponse, as it stil ar prow bed him,
4e proceeded to attack it, but could only wound the ambient
air. More terrified than bet )re, he now called aloud fur
help in an agony of alarm. Several persons who were within
!ear shot. ran to his ar.sistanee, when the figure disanneared.
Inc story of the soldier did not olvaitt much credit, and he.
I,.Was left by those who had• been drawn to the spot by his
.cries.- This was by hi, own desire. as he %visited, if 1),-istAle,
to satisfy. himself what it wva. tirtt he had see!). W had not
been long alone. when the same figure appeared again. tie
~attacked it as before, but with no better succcsF, as, without
1 making any impression on the apparition, he nnfortunattly
broke his firelock against the wall. Ilis cries weic now re-
peated in a tone of honor which cannot he described The
Sgure t.Usappeared again, on the approach of.those who were
attraetekl by the voice of the sentinel, who lefi the Terrace
•1 so dreadfully shocked at wh.tt he had seen, that he declared,
Ire would rather be shot than mount gnat d again." in
COUSCCILICIICC of this occurrence, Rivett, the Police Officer,
has been sent for, and is now busily employed in endeavour-
. ing to trace it to its cause. The soldier who was so much
ten ified, has the reputation of being one of the Gravest
feiloWs in the service.

ADVANCED PRICE OF BREAD.

The price of Bread has..- been advanced this week. This
was an event which the Public were not prepared to expect,
after the gratifying accounts with which, for soinf wteks
past, every publication has teemed. We know 110 p what
the eatvsei arc which have led to this effect, but we hope some
light will shortly-he tl;kown on the subjet. The
ebleurr ction,
,' of
getting in the harvest, and the bustle of a gencral
may, perhaps, enable those concerne,i, in some measure to
account for it. In admitting it
.to be pos,ilile that it may
