Nnsott, "Stri% 9.---.-Nothing has yet transpired io fix
the precise date Of his MAJE9il7's entrance here. The pre-
sent delightful weather adds so many charms to a country resid-
ence, that there is nothing surprising 'in his Majesty prefer-
ring the retirement of the Forest to an abode iu the Ca.stle—the
Cottage to the Palace. The Municipal Authorities expect to
obtain information of his Majesty's intention two or three days
before it is carried-into effect ; but one day, it ilbasserted; will
be sufficient. ;to complete the extensive arrangements fur the.
.rejoicingli„—such is the general zeal and promptitude upon
this .occasiOn: We yesterday mentioned the nature of these
rejoicings. ,In addition to: what was then stated, there; is
to be a grand Public Ball and supper, which, there is no
doubt,-. will include the whole town and neighbourhood.—
The different Gentlemen in and About here vie with each other
in their offers ttnil !undertakings towards the promotion of the
intended festivities. Whilst one offers to supply and place the
requisite number of, seats' and tables, others engage to send so
many sheep ready dredged; or:so many barrels of ale. It is by
this means of individual co-operation that so much may be
done in so short a time. Nothing, we believe. remains un-
done in the *ay `of 'preparation,' and no more notice is requi-
site, therefore; than siillluffice to roast, and boil, and lay the
cloth. It, must not,. however, be supposed that this is the
work of an hour, When tin ox entire is to tee spitted, and knives.
and forks hid, and occupation .found -for between two and
three thousand months 1. An, immense fire-place has been.
erected in Bachelor's Acq for the ceremony of roasting the
ox,, which will be put down over-night. It will be a truly
novel .spectacie to see the cooks at their fire-light watch
and perforaileg theirmidnight orgies round the huge victim of
their attentilip.. Many ;;strangers have flocked to Windsor. in

it is expected., Mill t !cry full, ,Nothing can exceed the
splendour of the scenery About this favoured spot at present.

. On Wednesday rvProng a roast ludicrous oc.l
currence took place in A tavern in Rose-etreet. Two French-
men, who - follow in this city the honourable occupation of
barber, went into the house in question, and successively or-
dered two bottles of porter. In an evil moment their eyes
were attracted by a cupboard, which they ventured to force
open ; and finding in it six, bottles of good Madeira, they
deliberately proceeded to discuss two of them. There was
also a large pot of jellp—most tempting to the .sight.—which
without the aid of spoons they somehow managed to devour.
,The female waiter of the house, thinking that they were con-
suming a most unreasonable time over a bottle of poter, entered
the room upon Some . frivolous pretence, when a sad spectacle
presented itself. The two Frenchmen were stretched insensible
upon the floor: and their mustachios and eye-brows (in con-
sequence of their attack upon the jelly-Twit) teemed absolutely
dripping with gore. It at once occurred to her that there was
manslaughter in the case ; upon which the tender-hearted clam-
set reified one of the lengthened howls so, customary upon
such occasions. This brought the landlord into the . room,
who, judging from the state of the cupboard, soon came to
glioss the true cause of the melancholy catastrophe. With much.
ado he etiocecaled in rousing from his lethargy one of the French.

wights were lodged in the 'watch-house ; and next day were
presented at the bur of the Police Court, upon a charge of theft.
Upon the indictment being read over, he of the curling
irons shrugged up his shoulders till they were on a line with
the crown of his head, and extending his hands at the same
time like the fins of ch expiring turtle, he exclaimed,
