stant. The King and Queen are expected at the Castle at
Windsor, where some of the attaches of the court have already
at rived, on the 22d instant.
The Queen, we understand, made a very handsome
present of jewellery to the Hon. Miss Begot, late Maid of Ho-
nour to her Majesty, on the occasion of her marriage with
the Earl of Winchilsea.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent will
commence her dinner parties for the season the week after

next, in South-street. The Archbishop of Dublin and the
Bishop of Killaloe, Irish representative peers, are expected

By the recent changes in the peerage the ladies of
J. H. Langston, Esq., M. P., of Captain M. F. Berkeley,
M. P., and of J. W. Copley, Esq., take rank as the Lady
Julia Langston, Lady Charlotte Berkeley, and Lady Char-
lotte Copley.
Lord and Lady Maryborough gave a splendid de-
jeune yesterday in Saville-row, on the occasion of the marriage
of the Earl of Winchilsca with the lion. Miss Bagot. The
party consisted of forty noble relatives and friends of both
families.

a small card party, which was attended by the Dutch Miniiter
and Madame Dedel, Sir Henry ['Word, Lord John Fitzroy,

It has been observed that no event has ever so se-
riously affected the Duke of Wellington as the recent and un-
expected death of his long-attached and almost inseparable
friend the late Lord Rosslyn.

Very favourable accounts of" the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Westminster, both of whom have been indisposed,
were yesterday received at Grosvenor House, from Eaton Hall.
The Marquis is not expected at Grosvenor House, however,
for the season until after Easter, and it is probable that he may
protract his stay there until the Chester races are over.
Despatches were forwarded yesterday from the Co-
lonial Department for Jamaica, Barbadoes, and the rest of the
Windward and Leeward Islands. Despatches were received,
dated the 25th of October, at the India Board, from Madras ,-

Hope.

of the Council of India, to succeed to that office only in the
event of any .vacancy occurring in the Council in the absence
of Thomas Campbell Robertson, Esq., and to hold the same
only during such absence.

We regret to state that J. Barneby, Esq., M.P.,
while on his way from the metropolis to Brockhampton, Was
so severely attacked at Worcester with the prevailing epide-
mic, that his mediCal attendants would not consent to his re-
moval. We are happy to hear that the Hon. Member is
much better, although greatly debilitated.—liegford Times.
