WINDSOR, Nov. 19.—.Nis MAJESTY rode out
in his phaeton this morning up the Long Walk
to the Royal Cottage. The Duke of Dorset left
the Castle this day.—Great preparations are at
present making at the top of the Long Walk- for
the placing of the Statue of his late MAJESTY,
which is to be erected there in front of the Grand
entrance to the Castle. It is to be fifty feet high,
and will represent the late KIND pointing to the
Castle.

TUT KING'S COURT.--We stated yesterday, by mistake,
that the Vice-President of the Board of Trade was present :
whereas Mr. WA.I.LACF., who held that office, hes resigned it,
and is now Master of the Mint.—There ware also present, the
LORD STEWARD of the HOUSEHOLD, the MASTER Or the
HORSE, Mr. ARBUTHNOT, and Mr. FREEMANTLE..—The
Court broke up soon after one o'clock.

Yesterday morning the Duke of S.AXE WET.
MAR arrived in town from the residence of the
Duchess of CLARLNCE at Bushey.
One of the Poyais sufferers, in a letter to a
Morning raper, says that the men of rank
amongst the Mosquitos " are as ignorant as the
brute creation,"--a conclusion which he seems
to have principally drawn from the circumstance
that, with the exception of the King, " they did
not know how to take a knife and Ark in their
hands !" Ile adds, that he " considers all Mos-
quito men very little superior to cattle," whicli is
perhaps a legitimate inference from his stat4_,lnent
that " the greater part of their huts have no walls
or gables, only a roof, much like some shades you
have seen built on wooden posts for cattle! The,
Irishman would appear to have been nearly in
the wrong, when he said, that " because he had
been born in a stable, it did not follow that he
was a horse !" Our Poyais Emigrant would have
discovered strong marks of the quadruped in h's
formation on being informed of his birth-place.
We have ascertained from unquestionable au-
thority, that Sir It. WILSON'S tender of resigna-
tion to the Portuguese Government of the Order
of the Tower and Sword was made and lodged
in the hands of the British Minister at Lisbon,
Mr. WARD, three days previous to the receipt by
this gentleman of the Royal Order commanding
it to be taken away. The thing is now of little
consequence, excepting that it confirms, beyond
a shadow of doubt, what was stated in the Chro.

P. S. Since the above wont to press, the Com-
mander-in-Chief has received information that
the greater part of the insurgents along the coast
have laid down their arms, and tendered their
submission to Mr. Edmonstone, who was deputed
.to communicate with them. His Excellency is
sanguine in the hope that this submission will
prove final.

Yesterday the Court of King's Bench granted
a mandamus directing the Sheriff, the visiting
Magistrates, and the Gaoler of Hertford Gaol,
to admit both Mr. FENTON and Mr. JAY, at all
proper times and under all proper restrictions, to
the prisoner John Thurtell, in order, as his At.
torneys, to prepare for his defence at his op.
preaching trial for the murder of Mr. WEARE.
The Magistrates-have been severely censured
by the expression of public opinion in repro-
bation of the unusual prohibition which they
had in this case pronounced against the ad
mission to Thuilell of more than one profes
sional adviser, a prohibition which the pro,
seeding yesterday in the Court of King's Bend
proves to have been illegal as well as un
precedented, and prejudicial to the defence o
the prisoner. The right of the prisoner to ava

himself of the personal assistance of any number
of legal advisers being thus established, it might
be proper to inquire further, on what principle a
prisoner is prevented from receiving, " at proper
times and under proper restrictions," the visits of
his witnesses, of his friends and family connections,
and of all others with whom he might declare free-
dom of intercourse to be necessary to his de-
fence. It is true that inconvenience might occa-

sionally arise, from giving to indulgence of this
kind so great a latitude, and that the aim of justice
might even be sometimes frustrated ; but as the

aw in its humanity presumes every man to be
nnocent previous to conviction,—as it gives a pri-
soner on his trial the benefit of every doubt as to
his guilt,—as it requires not from himself an ac.
knowledgraent of his crime, but on the contrary in
its practical administration uniformly cautions him
against any act or expression tending to criminate
himself,—as it thus displays even an eagerness
to give gall the advantages which are possible
to the acCused, and seeks for the establishment of
his crime only by evidence which is, if we may
so speak, external to himself,—and, as an inno-
cent as well as a guilty prisoner may be seriously
and even fatally injured by debarring his (dentist
and other persons from access to him previous to
his a rra ignment,---it appears to us that thefreedom
of access is demanded by a due regard to con-
sistency is the principle and practice of the cri-
minal jurisprudence of the country, as well as by
a humane, and merciful, and just consideration of
the advantages which may arise from it to per
sons committed for trial, and which far outweigl
the contrary inconveniences to the prosecution of
public justice which such access might occasio
