At a quarter to six o'clock on Friday evening their
Majesties arrived at the Pavilion, in their travelling cha-
riot and four, from St. James's Palace, in excellent health
and spirits. Shortly afterwards Lady Clinton arrived,
as Lady in Waiting, in the room of the Countess of
Mayo, whost. period of attendance on her Majesty has ex-
pired ; and Miss Hudson succeeded the Hon. Miss B .go t
as Maid of Honour. On the same evening Sir Herbert
Taylor returned to Malton House, situate in the Palace
ground., and the Earl and Countess of Errol to their resi-
dence in the Old Steyne.
Yesterday their Majesties drove out together for nearly
two fours along the cliffs. They were received by the
people with every possible demonstration of affection and
respec', which they never fail to acknowledge in the kindest
manner.
Titis morning their Majesties and her Royal Highness
the Princes Augusta, attended Divine Service in the
private Chapel of the Palace. In the pew with their
Majesties and her Royal Highness were Lady Clinton and
Miss Hudson. The Earl and Countess of Errol, Colonel
H. Seymour, Colonel Fox, and the suite, occupied the
adjoining pews. The Rev. Mr. Wagner read prayers, and
the Rev. Dr. Everaid preached a most impressive
sermon, taking Lis text from the 10th verse of the Ist

Horace Walpole's Correspondence with Sir
Horace Mann, Lord Dover, (the Editor) justly observes
is the most interesting that as yet has appeared. The
letters are the only ones which give an account of the time
when his father, Sir Robert Walpole left office. They
are more full than any other of political anecdotes, and
sketches of characters of passing events, while they are
not inferior in the vivacity of their style, in the brilliancy
of their wit, in the variety of their anecdotes, and in the
elegance of their narrations.— Gentleman's Magazine.
On Saturday an inquest was held at the Fox
and French Horn, Back-hill, Clerkenwell, on the body of
Edward Stokes, a miserab:e bone picker, living in the
neighbourhood of Mutton-hill. It bad long been known
that he had s tved a large sum of money, part of whiAl
he had placed in the Bank. On one occasion he gave in-
formation that he had been robbed, when Waddington, of
Hatton-garden, proceeded to his hovel, and on searching
with the deceased, he found in one corner of the place
400 farthings, covered over with dirty linen. Waddington
was of opinion that he had not been robbed. One indivi-
dual, who had several young daughters, to one of whom
the old fellow seemed to be very partial, once said, " Mr.
Stokes, if you should happen to die without a will, all
your money will go to the King ; I hope you will leave it
to my daughter ;" on which he turned pale and trembled,
and said lie would never le; the King have his money, be
would rather bury it in the earth. It was added that every
dog in the neighbourhood always barked and flew at him,
because he was in the habit of taking their bones from
them. For several days past he had been missing, and on
Mountetevens, the beadle of Clerkenwell, entering the
place, he found the deceased lying dead. His bones nearly
protruded through his skin. A purse, containing a con-
ccierable sum of money, was found, as well as a document,
entitling the deceased to receive several hundred pounds, a
receipt for 1061., invested in the Three per Cents., 137
sovereigns, a silver watch, and gold seals. It is suspected
that some one had entered the place before the beadle.—
Verdict—Natural death.
