THE KING.-(CABINET COUNCIL)

Wiwnsott, OCT. 19.—The announcement that his MA-
JESTY would this day hold a Cabinet Council in the State
Apartments at Windsor Castle, excited an unusual degree of
interest. Shortly after twelve o'clock the Cabinet Ministers
began to arrive, and from that hour until two o'clock, the town
presented that animating scene which the arrival of numerous
equipages, containing the most illustrious statesmen of the pre-
sent day, may be supposd to create. At half after two the ap-
proach of the Royal cortege was announced ; and shortly af-
terwards the procession entered the limits of the borough.—
Two outriders, dressed in splendid State liveries, and followed
by a park-keeper, habited in the forest livery of Lincoln
green, preceded the Royal carriage In this sat his Majesty,
who, we are happy to state, appeared in the full enjoyment
of excellent health, and acknowledged with the greatest affa-
bility the loyal reception which he received from the inhabi-
tants, The King was accompanied by the Marquis Conyng.
ham, and Gen. Sir S. Hulse. The Royal carriage was escort-
ed by a party of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards.—Sir
Andrew Barnard and Sir Hilgrove Turner followed in a
second carriage, both of which were drawn by four horses,
with the postillions in full 'taw dresses, and two more out-
riders closed the procession. On his Majesty's arrival at
the Castle, he was received the Lord in Waiting, and
conducted up the grand gothic staircase to the King's
Audience Chamber, where the Council were assembled.
—Among the Cabinet Ministers were—the Duke of Wel-
lington, the Earl of Liverpool, Mr. Canning, Mr. Peel, and the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. After the Cabinet Council his
Majesty held a Privy Council, at which attended, in addition
to the above, the Duke of Dorset, Lord Maryborough, &c.—
The Prussian Minister was introduced to his Majesty, and
delivered his credentials of office, which were graciously re-
ceived. The Austrian and Swedish Ambassadors had audi-
ences of his Majesty. After the business of the day was
concluded a splendid cold Collation was served in the King's
Presence Chamber; and shortly after four o'clock his Majesty
returned to the Royal Lodge in the same state as graCed his ar-
rival, where he entertained a select party to dinner. A Guard
of Honour of the Grenadier Guards was stationed at the en-

trance by the Gate Tower, who saluted his Majesty with the
customary honours. This morning his Grace the Duke of Wel-
lington arrived at the Royal Lodge.—Mr. Dabs, one of his Ma-
jesty's private Messengers, arrived with dispatches from London
last evening.—We are sorry to state that her Royal Highness
the Duchess of Gloucester has been seriously indisposed during
the two or three last days. Her Royal Highness passed a good
night, and was this morning much improved. It is the inten-
tion of her Royal Sister the Princess Augusta to remain at
Bagshot Park until the Duchess is completely restored to health.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE Tows.—After his Majesty had
determined upon the general improvements and alterations of
the Castle, the inhabitants of Windsor immediately be-
gan to consider the propriety of beautifying the town.—
During the past summer building speculations of a consi-
derable extent have been commenced, and are now carry-
ing on with great activity. The extensive nursery ground,
forming the eastern entrance to Windsor, opposite his Ma.
jesty's Little Park, has been obtained by Mr. Agar upon a
building lease of eighty years, where it is the intention of
the lessee to erect sixty houses of a superior description. A
plan has been determined upon, .from the design of Mr. C.
Hollis, whose architectural talent has been fully exemplified
in the New Church and Bridge. The proposed line of houses
will front the London road, and will he erected upon a modern
and elegant model. The centre of these buildings will be a
superb pump-room, to which the waters from the chalybeate
spring lately discovered in the Great Park, will be conveyed
in pipes. This improvement has long been subject of con-
sideration, and will now shortly be acted upon. It will tend
greatly to the benefit of the town. Windsor will then have to
boast, not only of its majestic palace, fine promenades, and
delightful scenery, but waters which have been proved for their
medicinal qualities equal to those of llarrowgate. This is a
speculation of some magnitude, and we doubt not will amply
repay its projectors.

MARGATE, OCT. 18.--Our visitors nre diapers-
ing fast and our theatre, our only public amusement, will soon
close. In justice to our Maaager, it must be admitted, that
he has not spared labour, expence, and activity, to deserve, as
well as obtain, public patronage. Miss MACAULEY is gone
to lloulounge, to give her own entertainment. Among the
female performers the Manager's wife deserves particular
commendation. He also engaged a Miss Coo rcE, a very ele-
gant young actress, whose Belvidere and Jane Shore have
been particularly admired. The venerable Gaiorrn, who
was himself a good actor, and is a very go)d critic, says,
that Miss CooitE'S Jane .Shorc in particular was one of the
most affecting he ever witnessed. The Manager, with his
usual liberality, has engaged little BtraKE, whose wonderful
skill on the violin, and clever performance of Tom Thumb ex-
cited so much surprise and applause in London. We have had
bad weather, but it has not danipml our spirits, and good hu-
mour has predominated in all otbr private circles.
