THE KING.

HIS MAJESTY will have a large and grand dinner party to
dine with him at Windsor, to-morrow, to meet the distin-
guished Russian foreigners, &c. now in this country. It is
confidently expected that the Duke of Cumberland, and the
Prussian Prince, by whom his Royal Highness is accompa-
nied from Paris, will arrive, so as to be enabled to attend the
splendid dinner at Windsor Cottage on Saturday.—His Ma-
jesty, according to all that is known about Windsor, is by no
means likely to visit Brighton this autumn. The Pavilion
would occupy much . time to get it ready for the King, and no
express orders have been given on the subject of getting it ready
for his Majesty's reception.

The Derby Musical Festival terminated. on Friday with a

funds of the Infirmary will not exceed 700/., including three
liberal donations of 50 guineas each from Madame Caradori,
Miss Stephens, and Miss Wilkinson.
Mits. COUTTS.—This lady and suite, accompanied by his
Grace the Duke of St. Albans, arrived at the George Inn, in
Leek, about five o'clock on Saturday evening. During their
stay, they honoured Richard Gaunt, Esq. with•ct visit, and took
their departure about seven o'clock the same evening for Eaton
Hall, the seat of Sir Edmund Antrobus, where they will remain
a few days, and then proceed on their way to Scotland. A merry
peal upon the bells was rung on the occasion.—(Manchester
Mercury.)
BERKIWIPSTEAD CLun.—The balls given by the Berk-
hampstead Club commenced on Monday night at the King's
Arms, and occasioned a most numerous meeting of the No-
bility and Gentry of the county. The Stewards appointed
by the Club were, Sir John Sebright, Bart. M.P., and James
Gordon, Esq. M.P., who, it is almost unnecessary to add, did
ample justice to their appointment. About half-past ten danc-
ing commenced, and the first quadrille was led off by the
,Marchioness of Salisbury and Mr. Gordon. The music was
from one of Rossini's operas, and when we add that the per-
formers were Mr. Payne himself, with his whole band, there
cannot be a doubt of that department having given the greatest
satisfaction. The party, which consisted of 150, did not separate
till a very late hour, and the separation was attended with many
expressions of regret, followed by many wishes for another, and
an early meeting on a similar occasion. Besides the :Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Salisbury, we noticed the Lord
Lieutenant of the County and the Countess of %Temkin.—
The Hon. the Misses Grimstone, Lord and Lady Dacre, Sir
John Sebright, Bart. M.P. and family, with a large party ;
Mr. and Mrs. Darien and family ; the Honourable William
Lamb, M.P., Mrs. Pechell and family, Mr. Whitbread, ALP.,
and family ; Mr. anti Mrs. Moore Halsey and family, the
Members for the Borough, and a numerous assemblage of
naval and military officers, amongst the latter we noticed many
of the Blues," who returned to Knightsbridge immediately
after the ball.

LADY COCTIRANE..—III August, 1822, we re-
collect encountering on the top of a mail-coach, an honest sailor
who had just returned from South America, where he had serv-
ed in the same ship with Lord Cochrane. The talents of his
commander, and the irrepressible spirit of his eldest boY, who
could not he prevailed on to remain below when any thing par-
tieular was going forward, were favourite topics with our fel-
low-traveller; and in, speaking of Lady Cochrane, he men-
tioned the following instance of fortitude, as a circumstance
that admitted of no doubt. In travelling from Lima to its sea-
port Callao, a robber appeared, and with many threats demand.
ed her money, and though her servant was well armed, his
Peruvian blood was so chilled and congealed by fear, that he
was on the ♦ery point of betraying his, mistress, when her
ladyship snatched a pistol from his hand, and shot the villain
through the head. The story may appear improbable, but
from the way the man told it, we have no doubt whatever of
its truth ; and we may here add, that notwithstanding the very
active life which Lord Cochrane led in South America, he
contrived to pick up many curiosities of great rarity and intrin-
sic value. One of these—the dagger of Montezuma, beauti-
fully wrought, and inlaid with gold—he lately presented to
Sir Walter Scott, who, however, deservedly, has a wonderful
luck in procuring similar valuable gifts, and whose collection
of curiosities will soon be the richest in the whole country.—
(Dumfries Courier.)

NOVEL TRICK.—An ingenious system of pil-
fering little articles from the shops in the New-
cut, Lambeth, has been latterly practised with
considerable success by a party of boys.—
The scheme is novel, and an exposure of
it may prevent tradesmen from being sufferers
by it. The shop intended to be made the
scene of depredations is first surveyed by the
lads, and if a favourable opportunity present it-
self, one of them throws into the shop a lighted
squib, whilst another of his companionsoaking
advantage of the proprietor's attention being en-
gaged in putting out the squib, runs off with
any article that may be portable and conveniently
placed for carrying out. A few days ago, a small
shop in an obscure street, not far from the Coburg
Theatre, had nearly taken fire through a squib
thus thrown into it ; and on Tuesday night, a
boy, named Gardener, was taken into custody
by Glover, a Bow-street patrol, for throwing a
lighted squid into an eating-house, kept by a
Mrs, Parrott. The boy was fined 20s. by Mr.
Swabey, the presiding Magistrate, at Union-
Hall, on the offence being proved.
Yesterday,about 12 o'clock, as Mr. BOYCOTT,
one of the partners of the house of Messrs. Ro-
gers, Towgood, and Co., of St. Clement's-lane,
Lombard-street, was passing through the Strand,
near the Adelphi Theatre, with a great amount
of property in his possession, he was suddenly
seized with an epileptic fit, and dropped sense-
less amidst the crowd. Fortunately Mr. Vaughan,
of the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, had the pre-
sence of mind to have him conveyed to the Wine
Vaults adjoining, where every attention was paid
the gentleman ; Mr. Vaughan then saw him safe
to his friends, and had the pleasure of receiving
their thanks for his attentions.
