WINDSOR, DEC. 27.—0 n the morning of Christmas-clay,
the poor of the surrounding parishes were most bountifully sup.
plied with beef and bretul, according to annual custom, at the
seat of Lord Newry, at Berry-hill, 'raplow, Bucks. It is on
these scenes the philanthropist delights to dwell ; and the man.
ncr in which it was distributed, under his Lordship's superin.
tenciance, who appeared solicitous to gladden the beans of the
indigent and their of spring at this festive season of the year,
was truly unostentatious. The obtrusive eulogist in recording
.the gratifying scene, though apprehensive its publicity might
not receive his Lordship's cordial approbation, considers it an
humble tribute to the private worth of the noble donor.
Sou Tit 104 PTO:.i, DEC. 27.—This afternoon the Secretary
of the Admiralty, (J. W. Croker, Esq. M.P.) landed here,
from making an official visit to Lord Viscount Melville, at his
cottage, Hyde ; and immediately after he proceeded to return
to the Admiralty. IVe understand the lion. Secretary only
left town last night; his communication to his Lordship must
therefore have lexert both urgent and of considerable im.
portanee.

• NE wPonT (Isle of Wight), DEC. I.l,7.—Lady Barrington,
of Swainston, and our worthy representative, Sir Leonard 'l'.
W. Holmes, Bart., with that humanity for which they are so
highly characterized, have very generously bestowed a large
quantity of weariug apparel and meat, to the poor of the parish
of Colbourne.

A New Half-crown is at present coining in the
mint. The device is much superior to those in present circula-
tion. But few of the double sovereigns have been coined, as it
has been discovered, that 'the wreath round the head of his
Itiaamvr vis omitted. It is in contemplation to place the same
device as the half-crowns have, instead of St. George and the
Dragon, on the future coinage of the double sovereign.
Bow-LC:rat:ET (Tins llky.)—( Dar ing Rob.
