The King and Queen, with the Princess Augusta, we are

The weather yesterday proving particularly fine, the Queen,
accompanied by the Princess Augusta, left the Palace at an

Digby, Lord Minto, Colonel Sir James Hope, and another
officer of the Guards. The fine band of the regimeut was in
attendance, and during dinner performed some delightful music.
The Earl and Countess of Errol paid a visit to their Majesties
this morning.
The King, who takes a great interest in every thing relating
to the alterations and improvements of this place, has expressed
his opinion, we hear, that the new enclosure of the Steyne has
intrenched on the public way, and consequently forms a public
inconvenience, in which opinion the majority of the inhabitants
fully concur.

The Dowager Marchioness of Downshire is at present at the
York Hotel. Crescent Lodge has been taken for the family
for five months. Lord Marcus Hill leaves here on Monday to
join Lord and Lady George Hill, with whom his Lordship will
remain about a fortnight, and then return to Brighton with his
brother and sister.

The arrivals continue on the increase, and the names of most
of them will be found in the list of calls at the Palace.

An affair d'amour in high life is the topic of general conver-
sation in distinguished circles here. I shall, in all probability,
be able to give you some little details to-morrow.
A letter from Gloucester House, received here to-day, states

Sir Andrew Barnard, lam happy to say, has so far reco-
vered from his late accident, as to be able to take a short pro-

The recent destruction of the Houses of Parliament has
produced a great dread of fire here, and 500 special constables
have been sworn in to prevent the fire-works on the sth inst.,
much to the inconvenience of the tradesmen, many of whom
claimed exemption from serving the office on strange grounds.
One of the parties, the reader at the Jews' Synagogue, ap-
plied to be excused, on the ground that he might have to kill
beasts for the people of his persuasion on the night of the sth,
and that he also came under the denomination of a preacher
and teacher. Sir David Scott is stated to have said that he
supposed he could kill pigs by day as well as by night, and his
objections being thus overruled, he was sworn in.
I regret to learn, on the authority of a gentleman just ar-
rived here, that an act of incendiarism was committed on Sun-
day night at a farm near Seaford, in this county, when three
valuable ricks of wheat were consumed. I have since ascer
tamed that they were the property of Mr. Henry Pagden, of
Frog Firl, Alfreston, a very respectable farmer. It is stated
that he caused some alteration to be made in the men's wages
on the preceding day ( Saturday), and on the following night
his stacks were in flames. The property thus wilfully de-
stroyed is said to have been valuable.
