ARRIVAL OF THEIR MAJESTIES AT
WINDSOR dASTLE.

(From the Windsor Express.)
SATOR.DAY NIGHT, EIGHT O'CLOCK.

Various meetings of the inhabitants have taken place in
the course of the week, at our Town-hall, with the view
of drawing up and voting congratulatory addresses to the
King and Queen, on the occasion of the commencement of
their Majesties' residence at Windsor Castle, and also for
making fitting arrangements for celebrating that propitious
event throughout this borough. On the first intimation being
received of the Royal intention to reside at the Castle, the
members of the Corporation met, in their corporate capacity,
for the purpose of preparing addresses to their Majesties
on the joyful occasion, and received gracious permission to
present their addresses at the Castle on Monday next,
when the King and Queen will receive the whole of the
corporate body, who are to appear, in the Royal presence,
in their robes of office, or in full Court dresses.
The inhabitants generally, not conceiving that the cor-
poration addresses would adequately convey the sentiments
entertained towards our beloved King and Queen by the
town at large, resolved on giving expression to their own
feelings in separate addresses, drawn up and approved by
themselves. The day of their presentation wid not be
fixed until the Royal wishes on the subject have been pre-
viously combed.
In consequence of his Majesty's expressed desire that
no rejoicings should .take place until after the expiration of
the public mourning, the demonstrations of the inhabitants
will be postponed until Friday next, the 14th inst., when,
as will be seen by announcement, a public dinner, and a
ball and supper, will take place, and fireworks and illumi-
nations be displayed in honour of the joyful occasion. It
is gratifying to observe too, that amidst all this prepara-
tion for Seating and enjoyment, the poor and friendless
have not been forgotten, but that a public dinner is to be
prepared fur them in the Long Walk, the expenses of
which will be defrayed by the general subscription.
It was privately understood that the Royal procession
would arrive about five o'clock this afternoon. The ar-
rival, however, throughout the day of different parts of
the Royal establishment, kept the inhabitant', continually
on the qui vice, and in a constant state of expectancy as
to the arrival of their Majesties, who were momentarily
expected. The tieeness of the weather, the enthusiastic
feeling of the people towards their new and beloved Sove-
reign, and which his hourly expected presence tended to
increase, drew forth great numbers from their habitations
and flout the surrounding villages during the day. The
metropolis itself afforded not a few visitants, anxious to be
spectators of the gratifying scene, and although extra
coaches were provided, thole who had not taken the pre-
caution of booking their places were invariably disap-
pointed.
As early as two o'clock the long walk and streets lead-
ing to the Castle began to fill, and before four o'clock
crowds had aisembled to witnesa the Royal arrival. At
six o'clock two carriages and four appeared in view on the
Datchet road, coming at a tolerably quick pace ; on a
nearer approach, the crowd immediately recognized the
first to be their Majesties' carriage, and on its arrival at
the beginning of the High-street, the waving of bats and
handkerchiefs became universal. Immediately on their
Majesties entering the town, the circumstance was an-
nounced by the firing of cannon in the Bachelor's-acre,
which continued at half-minute intervals. The church
hells were also set in motion to a merry tune, in celebra-
tion of the joyful event On the arrivarof the Royal
party in front of the Town hall, his Majesty gave orders to
the outriders to slacken their pace, and the Royal coWae
proceeded slowly along the street, up Castle hill, through
the grand entrance, anti stopped at the King's private en-
trance, where their Majesties alighted. There was no
military or other escort; the King was dressed in a plain
suit of black ; and but for the Royal carriage and atten-
dants, might have been easily mistaken fur a private
gentleman.
The Queen was attired in a like simple unostentatious
manner, and their Mqesties acknowledged the fervent
greetings of the people by frequent salutations as they
passed 'along. After the Royal Arrival, a numerous and
highly respectable company flocked to the south entrance
of the terrace, which, in conformity with the King's order,
and the announcement from the Board of Green Cloth,
was opened to the public this afternoon for the first time
since the magnificent alterations and improvements. Ott
entering, the coup (tail was truly magical. Subsequent
to the last admission of the public, a considerable space of
ground from the park has been taken in, and laid out in
flower beds, in compartments, interspersed with vases and
statues after the manner of the Tuileries gardens at Paris,
a raised terrace commanding a beautiful view over the sur-
rounding country enclosing the whole. Their Majesties
breakfasted this morning at Osterly Park, the seat of Lord
Jersey, where, we understand, 500 guests had been invited
to meet them. The Princess Augusta, Lord Ashbrook,
and the Hon. Miss Townahrnd, dined with their Majesties
at seven o'clock this evening.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
(From a Correspondent.)

The King looked exceedingly well, and her Majesty
appeared also in better spirits than on some occasions of
late when her Majesty has appeared in public.
As soon as their Majesties had alighted, the terrace be-
came the general place of resort, and crowds of hand-
somely dressed ladies, gentlemen, and many •of the lower
orders—for the orders were not so strict that those in humble
attire should be prevented from seeing this enchanting
spot,—assembled in front of the King's Di awing-room,
in expectation that their Majesties would make their ap-
pearance. The public, however, were disappointed, as his
Majesty remained in private the whole evening.
The company on the terrace on Saturday remained till
nearly nine o'clock. The Royal party took dinner in the
state dining-room, which was well furnished with lights,
and enabled the people from the terrace to see the beauti-
fully gilded roof and other parts of the room.
Scarcely had the terrace been opened ten minutes before
some parties cut their initials in the stone-work surround-
ing the terrace. A strong feeling of indignation was ex-
pressed at this abuse of the liberty of walking there by
many respectable persons.

TILE JUVENILE LIBR ItY.—The publica-
tion of the second volume of this cheap and useful work is
particularly well timed. It is entitled Historic Anecdotes
..—France. A leading critic observes "At a period
when the affairs of France excite such a vivid interest
throughout the world, we must consider it a very oppor-
tune chance which has produced a volume for the young
(awl old too) so full of the not less striking events that
hare so strangely diversified the history of this country.
It is by comparing the past that we can judge of the pre-
sent ; and assuredly these anecdotes are as full of matter
for reflection, as they are in themselves memorable and
interesting. The portrait of FAANCIS 1., engraved by
MAW, from the well known picture by TITIAN, is pre-
eminently beantiful.—The other three illustration. are those
of Manta-AsivonfErri, lIKWILY IV. and Louis XIV.

NEW COACH.---A new coach, loyally named
after our excellent Quam has begun to run, of which the
announcement is very whimsical ; being as follows :--
" The Queen ADKLAIDIC ! starts from the King's Arms,
at Busby, every morning at eight o'clock."

NERO, THE ROMAN EMPEROR.-DOMI-
TIUS Naito was the son of isonirrtuA, and pupil of
SENECA. TIM first fi►e years of his reign were mild and
just ; but his furious passions soon grew impatient of re-
straint. He put to death his wither, his brother, his
tutor ; set fire to the city, charged the Christians with
the crime, soil began the persecution of that sect. He
prostituted the dignity of his station, and the majesty of
Rome, by appearing as a singer on the public stage. The
patience of 'unkind could no longer endure this combine.
tion of cruelty, insult, debauchery, and meanness ; several
conspiracies were formed against him, but without suc-
cess; the tyrant discovering them in time. At length
°ALBA was declared Emperor, and Neon by the Senate
pronounced a public enemy, and sentenced to death more

death. Yet, vile as he was, there were those who loved
his memory, and raised monuments to the monster who
had perpetrated so many crimes. It is not undeserving
of notice, that, within a century after the death of Co.tn,
the Senate, which once gave laws to the world, was con-
voked on the solemn occasions of the marriage of Nano
with two of his own sex. lgo utterly can the greatest in-
stitutions be degraded.l—hr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclo-

GENERA r. ELECTION.

SURREY—GUILDFORD, Auc. 7.

The polling has been continued with great activity,
and the contest begins to assume a most favourable
appearance for Mr. Briscoe. He begun the day's
poll about forty under his opponent, but at two
o'cloCk had headed him by 119. The state of t 1
poll is sufficient to show that the contest is only
hetween Messrs. Briscoe and JollilFe, foi' Mr.
Denison beads them both by about 700 or 800 votes.
The poll closed this day at four o'clock, and at a
quarter to five the High Sheriff declared the numbers
to be, for—
Mr. Denison.
Mr. Briscoe., . 1,436

Colonel Jollities 442—(Cheers.)
slr. DENISON said, that in rising again to return
them his most grateful thanks for the proud situa-
tion in which they had placed him on the poll, he
should not trespass long on their patience. He
't)sought it is duty lust night to take up some of
ribeir time on the subject of party, and should mils
now thank them for their kind support. Every
thing in life had its alloy, and the alloy to his
grateful feelings was, that he should not be able
re make an adequate.. return. 1,0,14 -county...,
TtCheerS.)When the contest first begets, and his
friends were suggesting plans to conduct it, he said he
would endeavour to carry it on in a manner that
should not deter gentlemen of honour to contest the
county without ruinous expences. He said he
would not spend one guinea, and would stand on the
hustings for sixteen days. He was told the county
was not ripe for that. His answer was, that he
knew too much of the men of Surrey to sell their
birthright for a mess of pottage.—(Cheers and bravo.)
He had told them what the law was, and he said he
would contest the county without infringing even
the letter of the law. He could now appeal proudly
to the state of the poll, to show that his estimate of
the men of Surrey was right—i Cheers.) -These
were the motives that had governed his conduct.—
He could only return them his most grateful thanks,
they had given him their confidence, and he would
endeavour to deserve it—(Cheers.)—He would
come forward again and tight the battle if they
pleased.—(Cheers.)—Nothing was so bad as false
security ; and he cAlled on them to be present on
Monday, " like giante refreshed," to secure their
victory.—( Cheers.)
Mr. BRISCOE was received with the loudest
cheers, amongst which some hisses were audible.
He could not find words to express his gratitude for
these continued proofs of their kindness and coufi-
dence. On the faith of an honest man, he assured
them, that if he was returned to Parliament he would
endeavour to serve them faithfully.—(We know you
will.)—The watch-word of the King was the fittest
with which he could take his leave of them, " God
and our right." After the rest of to-morrow, he
trusted they would renew the contest with increased
success. Farewell till Monday, when they must
work double titles to do their utmost ; they must
put their shoulders to the wheel, and should reap
the real reward of their labours.—([;beers.)—Fare•
well, and good night.—(Cheers.)
Colonel Jotaares; wasreceived with such a discord
of vile sounds as none but elections produce. Ile
said he was aware that he appeared before them in
a different situation on the poll to what he had done
for the two preceding days. Before sewn days more
he should be the second on the poll. If he Ives the
second, he should be their Representative. He
would say no more, as they were unwilling to hear
him ; but if he should riot be returned, he should yet
leave the town able to look every man boldly in the
face. He was not one of those popular candidates
who went about preaching to the people. They had
only been willing to hear themselves; and he would

date, and of course the freeholders will listen no him
with but though they may not be equally
gratified pifielurdeaisnheearing Colonel JollilTe, that is not a jus-
tificetion for their refusing to hear him at all.—
There may be many excellent reasons for their
voting against hint, but there can be none for cla-
mouring him down whenever he attempts to address
them. His party seems to have lost something of
its activity; for, though it is understood that no ex-
pence is spared, the numbers of his carriages and of
his colours appear much to diminish. The exertions
of his Committees however have not really slackened,
though they make less show than at first.
The election, though evidently exciting a strong
degree of interest in the county, continues still un-
productive of any efforts of wit. It appears to be
conducted throughout on a perfectly besinesselike
principle. Whatever is said by either candidate in
speeches, or in placards, is directed to the main point,
and to that alone. There is none of that by-play
of wit and humour that renders an election amusing
at. the time, and secures a laugh for its history after-
' wards. Everything here is in sober earnestness. As.
''night be expected, this, though in itself, perhaps, a
good rule of action, is carried a little too far, and the
assertions of the two opposing candidates are left
unnoticed by each other, when, by a little tact on
either side, their effect might be avoided, or the
ideas they are intended to convey might be shown
to be fulse. Mr. Briscoe relies on disqualifying
Colonel Jolliffe, by showing him to be a borough-
monger ; turd the Colonel attempts to establish him-
self in popular opinion, by telling the world that he
voted for the Beer Bill, and against the Slave Trade,
and by appealing to his conduct to Iris own tenantry
in proof of the assertion that he is the frisnd of the
farmer. In the mean time Mr. Denison appeals
with justice to his past as the guarantee of his future
conduct, and his appeal is well answered by the free-
holders, as the state of the poll sufficiently manifests.
All parties indeed seem agreed as to his fitness to
represent the county, end yet Ire is compelled to
undergo all the fatigue, annoyance, and expellee of
contested election, while be has no opponent.
yfruly his situation is not to be envied. There can
as yet be no judgment formed as to the probable re-
sult of the election. The advance of Mr. liriscoe
on the poll this day was steady and unintiiiiipted.
But the partisans of Colonel joillffe assert that their
opponent has now done his best, and they con&
dently predict that his descent will be more rapid
than his advance. Of the truth of this assertion no
opinion can now be formed, except from the cheer-
ful confidence manifested by Mr. Briscoe and his
friends.]

SHAFTESBURY, Aug. 6.
kerutiny %vent on yesterday, and 35
votes were in the course of the day decided. At the
close of the thy, the numbers stood thus :
Pentliya . 153
Dugdsle .............
Knowles ll5
At least 10,000 persons from the town and neigh-
bc uring villages were assembled, in the market-place
when Mr. Knowles and Mr. Rutter shortly addresscj
them, expressing' their confidence in the final triump
inthe cause of liberty. Mr. Rutter cafe(' some of
the local and general grievances to which the people
of England are exposed ; all which he traced to the
unconstitutional influence of the Peers of Parliament
in the election .of the House of Commons. - The
crowd after this appeared to be quietly dispersed,
with the exception of 200 or 300 persons, niost of
whom were women and boys, until about nine-o'clock,
when they escorted Mr. Knowles from the house of
Mr. George Chitty to that of Mr, StoreyOlanY Qi

PRIOR 7n.

those who attended him paraded the streets with a
band of music throughout the evening, and about
ten o'clock some persons threw stones at the windows
of many of the inhabitants who were adverse to the
popular candidate. At length they halted at the
Urosvettor Arms, where Lord Grosvenor's agents
here and front Ilindon were assembled after dinner.
Cries of " Down with Jones," and " Knowles for
ever,"----" Justice; we will have justice,"—" If we
have justice, we shall Win the day," became an loud
and long as to create great terror in the house.
Some altercation then arose at the gates of the inn, ut
which a rush was made, and the crowd gaining ad-
mittance into the inn-yard, commenced beating the
doors violently with bludgeons, and throwing all
kinds of missiles in at the back windows, to the
great destruction of the glass, and the imminent dan-
ger of the inmates. Daybreak brought with it suck
a scene of devastation as Shaftesbury has not wit-
nessed for years. We are not aware that any at-
tempt was made by the municipality of the town to
repress the disturbance, but this morning a troop of
fifty men of the 2d Dragoons, under the command
of Captain Fawcett, arrived, covered with dust,
from Blandford, and drew up in front of the inn.
They welc preaently aurromnled the popu •
lace, wliti evinced dome indignation at their ap-
peanince. They were soon after ()Wetted at the va-
rious inns of the town. The immediate cause of
the indignant feeling of the people is, that they
think the Mayor, who is returning officer, and
rent receiver to Lord Grosvenor, acts under the in-
hence of Mr. Jones, the London agent, and of Mr.
Philip Chitty, his Lordship's lawyer, to cat off as
many votes as will secure the election of his Lord
ship's nominees against the wish of all the inde-
pendent voters of the town, who consider them-
selves tricked out of their elective franchise by the
chicanery of his Lordship's agents. They contend,
that if the Mayor were not Lord Grosvenor's agent,
or if he had appointed an assessor, that their fa-
vourite candidate, Mr. Knowles, would be returned
by a triumphant majority. At the close of the poll
to-day the numbers were—
Penrhyn 169
Dugdale 145
Knowles
Mum' EVENING.

The polling closed this afternoon ; the Mayor
having decided the disputed votes, declared that the
election had fallen on Messrs. Penrhyn and Dugdale.
The electors and assembled multitude, however,
raised a violent cry of " No, no, Knowles is the
object of our choice. Knowles is our Member."—
Messrs. Penrhyn and Dugdale attempted to return
thanks, but could not be heard. The cries of " No,
no. You are not our representatives, but Lord
Grosvenor's," stifled their voices, and after several
ineffectual attempts to thank the electors, they re-
tired from the hustings with the Mayor, Town
Clerk, and Lord Grosvenor's agents, to their inn,
leaving the hull crowded in every part, together with
hundreds of persons who could not gain admittance
on the outside, to be addressed by Mr. Knowles, the
unsuccessful candidate and his friends.

Mr. KNowt,Es rose, and all was perfect stillness.
Lord Grosvenor had been taught a lesson which he
would never forget, and the independent electors
had now felt their strength. The system adopted
at Shaftesbury and other boroughs in the neigh-
bourhood could no longer be persevered in. It had
received its death-blow. Should his Lordship's
?wets adopt the course masked out by the example
of the Duke of Newcastle, he hoped the persecuted
voters would state all the facts to his friend Mr. Rut-
ter, and he would see that justice should be done to
them. In the course of a few days his friends
would dine. together, when he would lay before
them a plan whereby their complete emancipation
might be secured beyond a doubt.
Mr. GROVES and other gentlemen then addressed
the multitude at great length, and the immense mul-
titude afterwards assembled in front of the inn to
which Messrs. Penrhyn and Dugdale bad retired.
Mr. lturrEtt entered into a lengthentd detail of
the oppressions which had been exercised on the
inhabitants by Lord Grosvenor's agents, and urged
upon them the importance of combining their en-
ergies in order to secure a successful result to their
petition to Parliament.
Shortly afterwards Mr. Knowles retired amidst
the shouts of the multitude, to Mr. Groves' ut Fern,
and the successful candidates followed on their way
to Ilindon, a place seven miles olf, where they dined,
but not a single shout was heard in their favour.
Cries of " Shame, shame." " Knowles for ever."
" Knowles is the real member," followed them from
every quarter."

Mr. Jones, the London agent, had previously left
the town guarded by two soldiers. The house oc-
cupied by him during his stay was attempted to be
broken into, and one of the 'Anne's now bears the
marks of popular indignation. The soldiers left the
town on Saturday morning, and all is now quiet.
Thus ended the most extraordinary movement
which has been made for the last half century in the
west of Englund. In the very teeth of one of the
richest noblemen in England, HO "run, mostly his
tenants, went to the poll to vote, not so much against
the men whore he sent to be returned to Parlia-
ment, as against a system which the people at length
perceive to be fatal to their tme interests.—
Not less than one hundred of these voters went to the
poll in the full conviction that they would be turned
out of their houses for so doing, but still displayed
the most undaunted resolution, and a degree of po-
litical virtue, which it would be well if persons in
higher stations in society could be induced to
tote. Whatever may be the fate of Mr. Knowles's
petition, it cannot be doubted that Lord Grosvenor
has lost all moral power in Shaftesbury, and that
henceforth the electors will send two independent
men to Pediment, to represent themselves and
their country rather than his Lordship, or any other
individual to whom he will sell his houses.

ESSEX. -CI I ELMSFORD, SATURDAY.

The contest proceeds with spirit and determine-
tion of purpose on all sides. The Blue party mus-
tered all their forces to-day, for the purpose of sub-
duing the large majority obtained by Mr. Long Wel-
lesley on the first day's poll. The formation of a
coalition between the Whigs and Tories appears
indisputable, though pertinaciously denied by the
candidates themselves. When the leaders of these
hitherto conflicting interests are found voting for
Mr. Western and Colonel Tyrrell, what better evi-
dence can there be of coalition ? The poor Colonel
has been wofully belaboured in verse and prose, and
he is smarting under the lash. It would have been
well if personalities bad been spared; but those
" who inhabit glass-houses should not Bing the first
stone."

At the close of the poll, the numbers were as
follow:

Mr. Wellebley
Mr. We etern .......7tiS
Colonel Tyrrell 747
