F4L.MAJESTY'S favourite, vehicle ...at' present is
the.same which his Illtistrious Uocle, the 'Great
Thal of CUMB EILLANi), took with .when
went .to Scotland to Suppress the Rebellion, 'in the
year 1745. It was not until a feW days* before the
-deparfure of the RUYAL FAMILY, for Weymouth,
that this piece, of antiquity was discovered in the
stables at Windsor. One morning early firs Ma.,,
MIT Y, after examining his Stud, walked into the
-repository where the Stute.earriages are kept; and,
discovered the one-alluded to, which, according ',to
-report, had not'bee'n in use for upwards of 66 yeas.
After a mhinte inipeetknohe KIN'G ordered it to be
sentimmediately to his c.,ach-maker,to he fresh paint.
ad, varnished, gilt, a„:1 lined; cbserving at the same
time, that in future it shnuld be the only carriage
he would ride in except on State occasions. The
body of this vehicle is like all the carriages former..,
ly used; remarkable only for its solidity, andis so
extremely capicio.us as to contain eight or ten per-
sons. It is painted like all the Royal Carriages, of.
4 dark pompatioUr Colour ; the mouldings, &c. are
tidily gilt ; the lining stone colour cloth with a •
plain row tit fringe cf the same.' FrOmits singula—
rity and age it has alleady atita'tted much notice..

rudest shall have been cAtnpieted, we untle.rstand,
- it is the intention of the Noble'Eari to build a .
mar tificent range of bows from Duckinghain.
