WINDSOR.

The splendid and valuable library at Frogmore-lodge,
the property of the late Princess •Augusta, is now being
removed to Kensington Palace, from which place the
books will be despatched immediate!y to Hanover, to
grace the shelves of the future ()wrier. Tuesday Mr.
E. Harding, the librarian at St. James's Palace, arri%ed
at Windsor for that purpose, and has been occupied
packing up the most costly of the books. The collec-
tion consists of upwards of 5,000 volumes of choice
standard work, many of which are of an extremely
rare and valuable description. The purchaser of this
extensive and interesting library is said to be the King
of Hanover, but the amount which has been paid is by
no means so easily ascertained. The greater part of
the collection was originally the property of Queen
Charlotte, after whose death it fell into the hands of
the Princess Augusta, by ehom considerable and im-
portant additions were made to it. For some time past
the books have been sadly neglected ; many of them
ale at prestrit stiewed on the floor of the apart-
ment, and others placed upon wrong shelves, so that
some weeks will be occupied in restoring them to
their proper classification, according to which they will
be packed.
The King of Hanover has also become the purchaser
of the greater portion of tip e plate belonging to the late
Princess, which was removed some timesince to Kensing-
ton Palace, and shortly afterwards to Hanover. The pro-
ceeds arising from these sales, as well as those from
the disposal of other property, will (in consequence of
the Princess Augusta having died intestate), after the
payment of all debts, be divided amongst the heirs-at-
law, the brothers ar.d sisters of the late Princess—
namely, the King of Hanover, the Duke; of Sussex
and Cambridge, the Duchess of Gbucester, and the
Princess Sophia. Many of the valuable paintings which
formerly ornamented the walls of Frogmore-lodge have
also been removed by order of the Jukes of Sussex
and Cambridge, who some weeks since visited the resi-
dence of their late sister, for the purpose of making
arrangements for the sale and disposition of all the
property at that place. Many conjectures have been
afloat as to the future occupant of the elegant mansion
at Frogmore ; and although it has not as yet been pub-
licly known, there is not the slightest doubt but it is
destined for the occasional residence of the Duchess of
Kent. The house and grounds at the death of the late
Princess descended to the Princess Sophie, but as her
Royal Highness has signified her intention of not
changing her present abode, the difficulty which at
first existed on that point has now been completely
removed.
