THE KING, &c.

WINDson, Nov. 3.—His MAJESTY arrived at the Castle
yesterday afternoon from the Royal Lodge, accompanied by
the Duke of Devonshire, shortly after three o'clock, and drove
himself in his favourite phaeton drawn by ponies, into the
quadrangle. Mr. J. Wyattville was in waiting to attend Lis
Majesty and the Duke through the improvements, which occu-
pied more than an hour. His Majesty gave several instruc-
tions for the advancement of different parts of the alterations,
more particularly the suite of rooms to be used by himself,
and upon which no time has been lost to get them in reiali-
ness for early occupation. His Majesty left the Castle at
half-past four; o'clock, and returned to the Royal Lodge.
—Last evening the King entertained the Duke of Devon-
shire, with the distinguished personages holditag situations
in his Majesty's Household, at dinner. The private band
attended and performed to the guests during the evening.
—Yesterday her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta
returned to Frogmore from Bagshot Park. Her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Gloucester left Bagshot this morning
for Brighton.—The Birth-day of her Royal Highness the Prin-
cess Sophia was this day noticed by the ringing of bells and
firing a Royal salute in the Acre.—Yesterday the Marquis of
Hastings arrived at the Royal Lodge, and had an interview
with his Majesty, after which he took his departure.—This
Morning the Duke of Devonshire took leave of Ida Majesty.
His Grace visited Mr. .1". Wyattville shortly afterwards at the
Castle, previous to his return to Chatsworth.—The Royal
Standard was blown down from the top of the Round Tower
this morning. Another has been put in its place.

THE MARRIAGE OF THEIR EXCELLENCIES.
(Fll RTIIE It PA TIC U Alt ) —There was a degree of atten-
tion and respect paid to what Liberals would call the political
and Protestant prejudices of Ireland in the different arrange.
ments observed in this ceremony. As the entire partook
more of the nature of a public than a private measure, we
think it our duty not to pass it over in silence. On Satur-
day, after dinner, when Sir S. Bruce and the evening party,
mentioned in our last, had arrived, the company were
shown into a small parlour adjoining his Excellency's study,
in the Park, and having there partaken of coffee, were
ushered into the large room in which hangs his Majesty's
portrait, and on entering they found a platform erected at
the foot of the room, on which stood a temporary altar, and be-
hind which was the Primate of all Ireland, attended by the
Rev. Mr. Bisshopp (one of his Excellency's Domestic Chap-
lains), who officiated as clerk; there were also two State
chairs placed in appropriate positions in the room, The
company, to the number of about thirty, having ranged
themselves, fifteen on each side of the platform, his Excel,
lency entered the room with Mrs. Patterson leaning on
his left arm ; when the had walked up to the altar, the
ceremony was immediately commenced by his Grace.—
After it was concluded, not one word was said till their
Excellencies made their obeisance to the company, and
retired. Very handsome favours were then distributed, anti
after a very short pause it was intimated that their Excellencies
did not intend returning. Upon this hint his Grace the Pri-
mate, and most of the Company departed, and as they were
passing out of the Park, they met one of his Excellency's pri-
vate carriages driving rapidly towards the Lodge, in which was
Dr. Murray, R. C. Archbishop of Dublin. On his arrival, the
ceremony was performed according to the rites of the Romish
Church, in presence only of Mrs. Talbot(the mother of our re-
spected County Member), Mr. and Mrs. Blake, Col. Shaw, and
the two Messrs. Johnson. Now, all this was as it should be; the
two great dignitaries of the two opposite Churches were by
this arrangement, not at any time under the same root, and we
conceive that every. credit is due for the privacy and propriety
of the subsequent necessary ceremony. We are sure that this
union will be of much advantage to this country, and to Dub-
lin in particular, where the presence of a Vice-Queen has been
wanted, since the.death of the lamented Countess of Talbot.—

A letter from Rio de Janeiro, of the Bth of
September, states, that Sir CIIARCES STUART
was about to proceed to Buenos Ayres for the
purpose pf assisting in the adjustment of the dif-
ferences subsisting between the Republic and
Brazil, on the subject of the .posst,ssion of Monte
Video. It was conjectured that his. views were
favourable to the cession of that province to
Buenos Ayres. This negotiation, it was sup-
posed, would occupy Sir Cizatmes STuaaT during
the time required for obtaining the ratification
from Portugal of the Brazilian treaty of Inde-
pendence, on the arrival of which he proposed to
repair again to Rio de Janeiro, from whence,
having completed his mission in all its parts, he
would return. to England.
The Spanish ship Lavinia arrived at St. Helena
on Aug. 30, from Manilla, which place she left
on April 19, having on board the officers of his
Catholic Majesty's ships of war, Asia, CAstantia,
and Achilles. The mutiny of thecrews of these ves-
sels, and their surrender to the Mexican Govern-
ment, have been long ago made public. It appears
that the officers made some resistance on that oc-
casion, and that the Captain of the Asia was
wounded in the head by a calass. They were
all put into a boat and landed on Gorguire, one
of the Marsan Islands, from whence they were
taken to Manilla by the English whaling ships
Renard and Supply. They are now on their
way home to Spain.
