THE KING.

WINDSOR, JULY 23.—Yesterday and to-day his MAJESTY

Eq.,licence, at Farritigtfon; Berks, Join/ BalmEs,_ Esq., of
Chorley-wood House,. Herta, to Miss Medley, daughter of
Chas. Medley, Esq., of Farringdon. The amiable and accom.
'dished bride was accompanied by her sister to Citorley-wood
House, where, on their arrival at seven o'clock, they were
greeted by the smiles and shouts of an immense assemblage
of joyous faces who were waiting to bestow their rustic but
warm hearted welcome upon the happy pair to their beautiful
and truly, hospitable mansion. Mr. Barnes had a few select
friends to dinner, and good old English fare was served in
abundance to the tenantry and workmen.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The new Opera of,
Der Frieschutz has evidently excited great pub-
lic attention, as the house was last night again
attended by a very numerous audience. The
music is more reliihed the more the ear is fami-
liarized
to it, and the able manner in which it is
still superintended renders it so accurate and ex-
pressive,that it doubtless,as performed here would
fully satisfy the Composer himself. The beautiful
little air of " Good Night," is, we understand,
the composition of Mr. Ilovzs, not of WErsza, the
composer of the Opera. If its intrinsic' merit did
not secure it an encore, the admirable simplicity
with which M r.BnAitAm sings it would prodUce that
effect. The Incantation scene was much improved,
and went off with tremendous success. Consider..
ing the great expellee with which this Piece has
been brought forward, it must be gratifying to
the Public to find that its success is likely to re-
ward the enterprizing Proprietor of the Theatre
for his adventurous liberality on the occasion.—
, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT and
a distinguished Party graced a private box,e‘t
this Theatre last night. Lady GUILDFORD,
Lady BEAUEHAMP, Sir WILLIAM CONGREVE, and
numerous Fashionable Parties, excited by curio.
sity to witness a performance which has caused
so powerful a sensasion in Germany, completely
filled the boxes at an early hour.
CAUTION TO PERSONS THROWING STONES.-"-
An accident of a Serious nature occurred at Herne Bar, on
Tuesday last, to a lady while walking on the beach. A. man
on a place above not observing any one below, was amusing
himself with throwing stones, one of which descended upon
the bonnet of a Lady with so great force as to break it, and a
comb in splinters, several of which entered her head, the pieces
have since been extracted, and we are happy to say the wound
is not dangerous. It is gratifying to state, that as soon as the
accident became known, the man (who was not perceived) vo-
luntarily came forward, gave his address, and expressed a wish
to make any remuneration in his power.—(Kentish Gazette.)
A steam-boat on a novel construction, which
passed through this city on Sunday and Monday
last, excited considerable attention. Her paddles,
instead of being fixed on each side, are placed
quite at the extremity, so as to occupy nearly the
whole width of the stern ; and they communicate
with the boiler and engine by means of long rods,
through more than half the length of the vessel.
she appears to have been built„at Leicester, and
is on her way to Lynn fo' the purpose of plying
between that place and Cambridge, the slender-
ness of her construction allowing her to pass
through the narrowest locks; whilst her, small
draught of water, (said to be only 18 inches) is
expected by the projectors to ensure her success
in the shoal parts of that navigation.—(Lincoln
Mercury.)
