MARGATE, SEPT. 6, 7 A.M.—The French
man-of-war steamer, in the highest state of order, has just
brought up, at the landing-place, their Majesties the
King and Queen of the Belgians, from Trepont, near S'.
Vallery. The extreme fineness of the morning, and both
wind and tide being in their favour, induced their Majesties
to continue the voyage to Woolwich, instead of landing.
Every arrangement had been made, by a special messenger,
for their Majesties reception at Wrigh';'s York Hotel,
Margate.
The Hon. Captain and Lady Mary Hood have
been visiting Lord Sandys, at Oaibersley 'Court, where a

The Marquis of Huntly has arrived at Aboyne
Castle, Aberdeenshire, for the winter.
GRAND FIELD DAY IN WINDSOR PARK.
—On Friday the 45th Regiment of Foot, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel E. F. Boys, assembled in the
Home Park, where they had a grand field day, in full
view of her Majesty (who was stationed at the window of
the breakfast room) and several of the ladies of the
Court. His Serene Highness the Prince Ferdinand of
Saxe Cobourg, and the two Princes Augustus and Leopold,
attended by Count A. Msnsdorf, &c., were stationed on
the eastern terrace, overlooking the Park. The troops
were then put through a variety of evolutions with ad-
teirable precision and effect. We understand that new
colours fur this regiment have arrived at Windsor, and
that they will shortly be presented by his Grace the Duke
of Wellington, under whose command "the fighting 45th,
or Old Stubborns," achieved their hard-earned laurels. The
old colours, yesterday, nevertheless made a glorious ex-
bibion, being literally in " shreds and patches." Upon
them are borne the names of fifteen battles, commemorat-
ing the many hard-fought victories in which this distin-
guished regiment bore a conspicuous part.
The approaching fete at Exton Park on the Hon.
C. G. Noel, eldest son of Lord and Lady Barham, attain.
ing his majority, on the 18th instant, is progressing most
admirably, and is expected to go off with considerable eclat,
We understand that that munificent lady, Mrs.
Flaherty, who gave five thousand pounds to the London
University, intends presenting a similar sum to King's
College. The desire on the part of this lady to promote
the success and prosperity of these Institutions, is alike
honourable to her head and heart ; and it is to be hoped
that all those upon whom fortune has smiled, and who are
anxious to sustain the literary celebrity of this country,
will imitate the noble liberality of this patroness of learn-
ing.—From a Correspondent.
The Earl and Countess of Beauchamp, who
have arrived at Madresfield Court, Worcestershire, receive

THE LORD LIEUTENANT.—There have been
very foolish and exagg, rated stories of the London Jour-
nals as to the health of the Lord Lieutenant. His Exce'.
lency has bad, certainly, a severe cold, but, as we took
occasion to mention in our last, he has almost entirely re.
covered, and will, in a few days proceed on his intended
journey to Waterford. Within the last three or four days
his Excellency has transacted business, as usual, at the Vice
Regal Lodge, and has been able to see Lord Charlemont,
