questions we seek replies, but we fearlegily assert
that if the Duke of Wellington attendellthe Con-
gress on the part of England, as an inferior power,
the Ministers who sent him mast be impeached—
and that he could not attend as the representative of
our King as a member of the HQy Alliance," is
plain from the declaration alreatlalluded to, be
therefore could have no business there—if the Holy
Alliance had come to any resolutiqit regarding
England, derogatory to her real interests, the Mem-
bers of it would have soon found the effects of the
ndignation of the Briti sh nation, however those
effects may have been reduced by the misapplication
of her resources by those who are and have so long
been at the helm, to the direction of which every
day has shewn at once their incompetency and
their inadequacy.

When Windsor Castle is put in repair and fur-
nished, his Majesty will reside there during the first
months of the shooting season, and spend the end
of the autumn and the beginning' of winter at
Brighton. During the Session of Parliament the
King will reside chiefly at Carlton Palace, for the
convenience of holding Court and Levee days-
A letter from Leghorn of the 22d ult. says—
" The English here have just had a great loss : the
Governor of this town is dead. With him the
English were great favourites, and he studied every
means of being useful to them. When a boy, he
had been a midshipman in the British navy, and
had ever since retained a high esteem and love to
every thing belonging to our nation—he delighted
in serving the merchants here, and rendering them
comfortable. He was buried to-day with military
honours. Another source of his liking to the En-
glish was, that his wife's parents were English,
though she was born here. We are all afraid of
having nn Austrian Governor. The whole British
factory attended his fnueral."
We regret much to state, that the moment the
late Lord Mayor (Ald. Mugnay) returned on Fri-
day from the Guildhall, the first intelligence he
received was that of die death of one of his chil-
dren, an interesting boy between six and seven
\ears of age. This calami►y was speedily felt by
his Lordship, who requested Sir Claudius Hunter
to represent him at the dinner given at the Mansion-
house, to the two companies over which Alderman
Magnay and Ald. Heygate preside. His Lordship
has now 16 children, six of whom are by his present
wife.
The first stone of a aew church has been laid at
Atterclifre. The Duke of Norfolk presided at this
ceremony, attniuled by Earls Surrey and Fitzwilliam,
Lord Milton, several Lodges of freemasons, Odd
Fellows, &c. &e. The singularity of a Catholic
Duke perfUrming the ceremony of laying the first
stone to a Protestant church, elicited the following
remarks from his Grace :—That he felt no scruples
at what he had done t that in many respects he con-
sidered himself as much a Protestant as any of his
fellow subjects; that he had taken die oath of alle-
giance to a Protestant King, and if that King were
ever to become a Catholic, he should consider him-
self absolved from his oath.

A public advertisement had announced that a
dinner would be given to James Byrne, the victim
of the villainy of the late Bishop of Clogher. The
dinner took place on Tuesday last, at five o'clock-,
at the Horns Tavern, Kennington. About 100
persons were present. The ex-Sheriff Parkins was
in the chair, and Byrne sat on his left, and appears
to be ab:ait 45 years of age. The sufferings of
Byrne certainly claim commisseration, more parti-
cularly as it does not appear that he ever showed
any disposition to come to a compromise with his
cruel and powerful prosecutor. A subscription was
commenced in the room for Byrne and his family,
who were introduced to the assembly. We hope it
may prove successful.
Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at
Patras, dated Zante, September Y3:—" In vonse-
q:;ence of the existing state of affairs between the
Turks and the (;reeks in the Morea, and the various
reports in circulation relative to the blockade insti-
tuted by the Turkish and Greek maritime forces in
these parts, I have the honour to inform you, for
the information of the Committee, and the sub-
scribers to Lloyd's generally, that for some time
past there has been no hinderance whatever to a free
and uinterrupted navigation under the British or
lonian flag, as far as regards the coast of Morea and
Remiche, nor are there at this time any Greek
cruisers in this neighbourhood."
llis Majesty has, it is said, formed a resolution to
reside sonic part of every year, in future, at Windsor
Castle, the eastern end of which is now fitting up
mote particularly for his reception. The extreme
dampness of the cottage is said to be a principal in-
ducement with his Majesty for this• change, much
illness having been occasioned among the members
of his huuschuld from that cause.
