Tim Ftat.tt.E Pueatnit —The female that si<ited the late un-
fortunate men in Newgate„ while under s.ditenee of death for litter-
ing forged notes, is in the constant habit of preaching in t'hapels anal
Meetings. Site ascends the pulpit, att.:tided by a tall-man of a dark

neither a psalm nor hymn tune; after which, the holds forth for near
an hour. The temale then rises and finishes the discours4 reniun-
ing all the time in the pulpit.— They have travelled together through

It is sad to be :n the contemplatiare of Ministers to propose a very
coiisiderable reduction in tie Windsor Establishment, soon after the
meeting of Parliament. It is certain that the services of the greater
part of his Majesty's prmait retinue will be dispensed with early in
the moath of April. They have already received notices to that
effect from lien. Taylor and Gen. Stevens. That the finances of the
country require. every aid which tic mo skilful husbandr!! can ad-
uliniststr, i• now no longer disputed ; and we know of very few mea-
sures of economy which would be more generally acceptable to the
Public than the reduction of the Patablishment in question. If
splendid equipage. and costly ceremonials. could, in the slightest de-
gree. alLvtate tile malady which afflicts our venerable Sovereign, we
would deem it •Agrilege to remove them. But it is known that his
Majesty is not affected by external objects; and, to every feeling
mind, the pomp by which he has been hitherto surrounded, appear-
ed little else than idle orientation.
