THE KIND.

Wlslngoa, Nov. B.—We regret to state that the KING
was, at the latter end of last week, seized with a slight fit of
rheumatic gout, which has prevented his Majesty ever since
from leaving the Royal Lodge. His Majesty's indisposition,
however, is fortunately not so severe as to, confine him to his
apartments; and a strong hope may be indulged, we under-
stand, that a few days will restore him to his accustomed good
state of health. But it is not expected that his Majesty will
take his departure for London during the present week.
PRINCESS Auo u STA.—The birthday of her Royal Highness
the Princess Augusta was celebrated this day withevery demon-
stration of rejoicing. The morning was welcomed by the ringing
of the castle and parish-church bells, which continued, with
scarcely any intermission, the whole day. At one o'clock, a
royal salute was fired in the Bachelor's Acre ; a public dinner
took place at the Hope Inn, which was attended by nearly
the whole of her Royal Highness's tradesmen, together
with the most respectable part of the inhabitants. The
health of her Royal Highness was drank with continued cheer-
ing, with many other loyal and appropriate toasts. The com-
pany did not separate until a late hour, highly delighted with
the conviviality of the evening. The Public Ball at the Town-
hall was graced by the presence of tote Nobility and Gentry
of Windsor and its fashionable neighbourhood, and a bril-
liant illumination added its splendours to the passing scene.
The Royal Lodge is now rendered one of the most splen-
did retreats that could possibly be desired. 'rite grounds have
been laid out in the most tasteful manner, and are adorned
with alcoves, temples, &c., which are erected in the most ap-
propriate situations. A chapel was the only building required
to render the Lodge complete, and Ibis desideratum has
been ably supplied, from a design by Jeffrey Wyatville,
Esq. It is a small edifice, erected upon a model of the
pure Gothic, and is fitted up in a most commodious man-
ner. On the north side of the altar is the Royal Pew,
which is a square apartment, ornamented with crimson hang-
ings. Over the altar is a large window of stained glass, di.
vided into two compartments; the upper representing St. Je-
rome in the act of casting out a devil from an afflicted person,
and the lower one depicting the same Saint conferring the
rank of Bishop on one of his most distinguished converts.
This window is one of the earliest and best preserved speci-
mens of stained glass in the country ; the colouring retains its
original brilliancy ; and the costume of the principal figures
is at once curious and imposing. The hotly of the building is
fitted up with seats for the accommodation of the Royal House-
hold, awl over the western entrance a convenient gallery is
erected, rendering lt, in every respect, one of the most corn-
motlious structures of the kind that has ever fallen under our
notice.
