'WINDSOR CASTLE.-(TIIE KING.)

The frequent and sanguine expectationi of the
good and loyal folks of Windsor, that his NIAsErrY would
make IVtailrso It CAST L E his residence for at least a short
portion of the year, are now likely to be speedily gratified.—
Workinen of all sorts are busily engaged in - and about the
Castle. The several rooms, particularly the tirawing-nsom's.
those of audience, the Royal 'bedrooms, &c., are undergoing
extensive, It might be termed thorough, repair. They were
certainly much out of repair, as the Castle has long been with-
out any Royal or distinguished occupants ; there have only
been a few servants in it. But now all is activity within its
walls the " busy hum" of the workmen falls 'on the cars of
Windsor's inhabitants like musics of sweetest melody. The
tioors and carpenters' work are subjected to strict scrutiny and
considerable repair; many of the rooms are being papered ;.
and where the painting requires renovation—and there is an ex-
tensive want of such nature—the renovation is supplied with
what is technically termed " distemper." This is done to avoid
the smell of the paint, and such circumstance leads strongly to
the belief that his Majesty will, at a very early period after tha
prorogation of Parliament, make his long promised visit to, and
residence at. Windsor Castle. Bettides these numerous reno-
vations within the walls of this venerable and magnificently situ-
ated castl e,th ere are extensiverepairs proceed ing in the ou t-otlices,
buildings, &c. The stables, the pavements, &c. are undergoing
thorough repair. There are also some alterations Making in the
accommodations heretofore extended' to the Public, or' rather
to the neighbouring gentry, who wished to avail themselves
at any time of the advantages and beauties of the delightful
walks leading from the terrace, &c. at the Datchett side of the
Castle. These walks are known to the visitors of them, and of
the Castle, by the name of the Slepe Walks. They lead from the
Castle across the descent tending towards Datchett-bridge, &c.
They are well-formed and arranged, and afford as beautiful and
as varied prospects as are any where to be found in England.—
There are gates at different stations, and on the entrances there
are locks which are supplied with eight or ten keys; and
by applying at the lodge one might he borrowed, and thus
the neighbouring gentry could have the great accommodation to
promenade on the:Slope Walks. So.long as the Castle was un-
ibriunately without Royal inhabitants, no inconvenience result-
ed from this arrangement; but now, when other regulations are
being established, and to place those Slope Walks more com-
pletely
under the controul of the establishment, those gates are
to have new locks, so that the numerous old keys will be no
longer of use. Neither the surrounding Jeentry, however,
nor the public generally, who may visit Windsor occasional.
ly, are to be but. out from those walks and gratifications
which they have been accustomed to enjoy, especially
when the reigning Monarch might make this truly
will Royal
residence his abode. The terrace more particularly
open to the public as usual, at given times on Sundays, when
the bands play, &c. ; and the " Slope Walks," though there
may be new locks on the entrances leading to them, it is ex-
pected, will be open at stated periods in the day and during
the week. The present expectation about Windsor Ctistle
is, that his Majesty will take" up his promised abode there
about the middle of August at latest. By the beginning of
August every thing will be ready for the Royal reception.—
The Royal Lodge, or Cottage, is rather better than three miles
from the Castle; and the grounds about this justly great fa-
vourite with his Majesty are so 'improved that they would not
be recognized by those who may not have seen them within
the last tWQ or three years. The Lodge will be occasionally
visited by, the King.

BURNS' MONUMENT. —On Friday week,
Bunws' Monument at Ayr was completed. by the tripod being
raised and fixed on the summit. Fifteen Mason Lodges walked
in procession, besides yeomanry, and a vast number of personi
were present at the ceremony. On the procession reaching the
spot consecrated to the memory of Coils it Bard, the first corps of
Ayrshire yeomanry, commanded by Col. Crawford of Nciefitid,
formed on the road, while the masonic bodies encircled the
building. In the centre stood Wm. Fullarton,Esit.Of Skeldon,
at-
tended by several other country gentlemen. The tripod, amid
a flourish of trumpets, was then slowly raised to the summit of
the edifice, and in a few moments rendered a fixture. Mr. Ful-
lerton, with much energy and feeling, delivered an appropriate
address, and the whole ceremony was conducted with the
greatest eclat. The monument has been already described ; its
entire elevation is about seventy feet. Kirk Miami's" vene-
rable front was decorated with branches, and its " saki kirk
hatruner", tinkled once more in honour of the auspicious day.—
In the evening, a dinner was given in the King's Arms, by a
number or Gentlemen, to 'l'. Hamilton, jun. Esq. the architect of
the monument, as a mark of their rtuspeet for the professional ta.
lents of that gentleman--morn especially for the classic taste and
elegance displayed in the plan of the edifice which had that day
been completed. William Fullarton; Esq. did the honours of
the Chair, and the evening passed off' with the utmost harmony
and conviviality..--(Edinburith Courant, July 14.)

[FURTHER PARTICULARS.I

The whole of the lowersuite of. rooms were opened and used
on the. occasion, including the conservatory, which was bril-
Bandy illuminated. The upper end was-set apart for refresh-
pieties, consisting of the most choice fruits, confectionery, tea,
colfeee Stc. ; the whole of which was served on magnificent
plate. The tables on which were the refreshments were in-
closed with growing flowers, trees of various descriptions,
forming lin alcove; and descending to a level with the bottom
of the stained glass window, on which are, the royal arms ;
they were illuminated, and had a very delightful eflect. The
other end of the conservatory adjoining 'the large room, called
the King's dining room, was set apart far dancing • the floored
the room was tastefully and fancifully chalked for the occasion.
The room and stairs were most gratifyingly perfumed with
growing flowers.
The Porters appeared at the gates of the Palace-yard in their
State Liveries, holding their long staves in their hands..
Some of the Marshalmen and Under Porters were in attend-
ance. Townsend, Sayer, and a number of Police-officers, at-
tended to regulate the carriages, and every thing passed off in
the greatest order. • .

ducted into 'the presence of the King by.lllr..:Alessenger and
Mr. Lin, the State Pages. flis Majesty received them all in
the most affable and unreserved manner, and his familiar
caresses relieved their infantine feelings from cinbarrasinent at
the idea of being in the presence of the King, together with
being in the midst of such a numerous assemblage, every thing
being strange to their tender years. Soon aftet 9 o'clock, the
King commanded the band to commence plaving, which con-
.sisted of 12 performers, under the'direction of Mr. Kramer.—
Dancing quadrilles continued, with some ineermiesions, till
near 12 o'clock, when the company retired to supper. . The
Royal banquet was prepared in the Gothic room; at the east
end, of the suite of rooms. The King intermixed with the
children in the most condescending manner during the whole
of the evening, and his aflhble conduct will no doubt be strong-
ly impressed on the minds and feelings of the rising generation
present on this delightful and interesting ocelot*. Alter supper

POE T Y

CULLODEN. •
Why. linger,on this cheerless :heath,
So sterile, bleak, and kinely now,
'When o'er it hangs a tale of death,

That well befits Its. barren brow ?
Nay, reit not on that, swelling sod,

..But let us pass—it marks a grave
Whose reran= i 9 the price of blood,
Drawn from the true and vainly brave.

Oh, come away ! and will con •
The direful legend as we go,
Of why this spot is.lov-'d by none,
And why that blood was made to flow.
And it may be—when all is told,
That o'er the wide and mournful bier
I'Vhee many a gallant heart Ile cold,
There ev'n may 11,11 a stranger's tear.

Long years ago, from o'er thesea,
There came a young and blooming youth.,
To whom our chiefs swore fealty,
. , And bailed as Scotland's king in truth.
They called him to resume that prone
From which the Southron hurl'd his Sire,
And vallies, lakes, and mountains lone,
Soon brighten'd with the kindling tire.

For then we saw 'the chequer'd plaid
Across his bosom fondly cast,
Our mountain bonnet on his head,
With black plumes streaming in the blast.
And then We heard the gathering cry
Come blended with the pibroch-strain,
And saw the lire-cross flashing by,
And warriors ranking on the plain.
In south it was a stirring sight ! -.
Still these old eyes grow dim with tears,
• As, piercing through the after night,
The past in all it pomp appears.
For sheltered glens, and dusky hills,
And isles that gem th western wave,
Sent forth their strength like mountain rills,
To bleed--to die—but not to save.

AilAy we rusliedour chiefs were there,
-And where should we, their clansmen, he,
BUt by their side—the worst to tiare,L.
Aye changeless in fidelity.
And that young bloonling'warrior, too,.
So gaily in our'tartans drest,
Was in our van—where proudly flew:
The Thistle o'er his dancing crest.

We met the Sauthron hand to hand,
And wide and wasting was the thy ;
But Victory smilnVon Scotland's brand,
And beat their trembling ranks away.
We rtlasp, then o'er the bordvrsroond,
Jn • •
. Andghtpd fihotii irnretryidleieFk
- When, ah ! disunioi hovered rounc
Our ehiefs--und fortune then forsook.

Th 6 foe 'silted strontr—rowizre.w the breasts
Round which the inotm tam plaid was cast ;
NVe turned towards the border wastes--
We turned, but wisb`d that day our last.
Unhonour'd then our bonnets fell
In vain we fought, we bled, we died ;
Vet every battle-field can tell
We were not skaithlessly defied.—

At length Culloden's boding heath
Despairing saw our legions stand;
While like the Angel's sword of death,
Before us waved the English brand.
It smote us mercilessly—it slew
The flower of many a warlike elan,
Till down yon bank the crimson dew
To mingle with the hill stream, ran.

Our chieftain% sought their native hills—
Our Prince was -hunted like the deer;
The captives potted their blood in rillt4,
Nor dared a clansman raise the spear.
Come, come away I you've now the tale
That cost our country tears and woe ; •
The Southron conquer d, and the Gael .
Lie mouldering these gle.en mounds below.
