. WINDSOR APPARITION.-The good people of
Windsor have been lately much alarmed by the
agitation into whiCh a sentinel, stationed on the
Castle-terrace, had been thrown by what be
deerned a supernatural appearance. The man, it.
seems, saw a figure approaching him, which he
challenged, and, receiving no answer, attempted
to stop with his bayonet, but found he, had thrust
it into " thin air."—The disappointment had such
an effect upon him, that he called lustily for help,
and when the guard- came to his assistance, was
found in great alarin and agony. A substitute was
_left, and at the guard-house the man was treated.;
with great kindness and Sympathy lie: was
well-known for. his bravery, and aki scion as be re- •
cc:tiered his spirits, he expressed his regret.that
had given way to a foolish panic, and in com,,
pliance with his earnest entreaty was permitted to
resume his post. - In about null' an hour, af-
ter, however, he uttered. a similar outcry, and
a guard again hastened to relieve him. He
was found in a swoon, with a part of his gun
broken otf. When he recovered, he stated
that the same appearance had preseat
to him, and had apparently moved to the wall,
and that he had broken his piece in the attempt
to strike it, In that situation, but, being again
disappointed in the expectationof a solid substance,
his terrors brought hint to the state in which he
was discovered. It has been rmnoured that some
optical trick had been played upon him from apart,
ments in the Castle but it is well-known
that the suspected apartment was not occupied at
the time, and the account of the man stated,
that the figure was wholly dark, another circum.
stance calculated to dispeove such a rumour,
The more rational solution given,is, that ghosts and,
goblins had been the subject of conversation
some time in thenight, while theman was preseat,,
and that his imagination had betrayed hitt itito'
h's perplexities and distusscs.
