THEIR MAJESTIES.

WINDSOR, AUG. 21.
Yesterday the KING and QUEEN, crith their visitors
and Royal suite, took their usual airing.
This afternoon, at three o'clock, the carriages and saddle
horses were ordered to be in readiness at the Castle, when
their MAJESTIES, with their visitors and suite, will take
their usual airing.
In the evening their MAJESTIES will entertain a nume-
rous and disiinguished party to dinner in St. George's
Hall, where 1 10 covers are laid ; there will also be a nu-
merous evening party.

We are bappy to state that the Duchess of GLOUCESTER
is considerably better, and enabled to take an airing to.day
in her carriage.
There have been no new arrivals at the Castle since our
last report.

Sir WATHEN WALLER and Baroness irowE paid a visit
to their MAJESTIES yesterday, and, after partaking of re-
freshments, returned to their seat at Twickenham.

This being the birth day of his MAJESTY, the ceremony
was ushered in with the ringing of parish and Castle
bell., and the firing of cannon, and at one o'clock the
regiments on duty here assembled i❑ the Long Walk, and
fired afeu de joie.
The bachelors of Windsor had their annual revel in their
Acre, with the usual " sports" of wrestling, cudgelling,
grinning through horse-collars, donkey-racing, &c., and at
night there was a very general illumination, and a bril-
liant display of fireworks by the Chevalier SOUTHBY, of
the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall.

JOSEPH BONAPARTE arrived in town, from
Liverpool, o❑ Saturday, by a Liverpool coach (the Comet).
His appearance is very homely, something after the manner
of an English farmer or grazier.
A TITHE PROCTOR ASSAULTED BY
WOMEN. —On Wednesday last the Proctor of the Rev.
Mr. GRANT, who had been engaged in valuing in the
neighbourhood of Fermoy, was seiz d by an immense con-
course of women, who placed him on his knees, and were
about cutting oil his eats with sickles, when some persons
interfered, and dissuaded them from such a brutal act.
The Rev. WILLIAM BUTLER, rector of Ballyhooly, sent
his proctor, who was protected by twelve policemen, on a
similar duty ; but in a short time several thousands of the
peasantry assembled, and the police and the proctor had
to return, not, however, before the latter was sworn never
again to value tithe.—Cork Constitution.
A member of the United Service Club was
complaining to another that his tailor's bill was very
heavy, and his clothes wore out very soon. Then said the
latter, " If you are desirous of having a suit that will last
long, get into Chancery as soon as you can."
Mr. O'CONNELL has published a letter to the
electors of Limerick, declining to become a candidate for its
representation ; but bestowing his counsel with respect to
the pledges which should be required at the next election.
They are :—l. To insist upon the total extinction of
tithes. 2. To call for an alteration of the Grand Jury
Law. 3. To demand such a Reform as will make Justices
of the Peace eligible by the people. 4. To vote for an ad-
dress to the Crown to dismiss Lord ANGLESEA , Mr. STAN_
LEY, and Mr. BLACKBURNE. 5. Repeal of the Union.
The new church at Sydenham, in the parish
of Lewisham, in Kent, is to be consecrated on Friday
next. Can any of our readers inform us why the charges
for sittings there are nearly double, and, in several instances,
more, tha❑ in the diocese of London ?

NUMBER OF VOTERS IN BRIGHTON.—
There are about 2,500 persons rated to the poor; of this
number 500 are females, who cannot, consequently, vote ;
about the same number have become disqualified by non-
payment of their rates ; these, added to the deduction for
females, taken from the gross number of persons rated,
leaves 1,500 Of these it may he fairly reckoned that
300 will ❑ot vote at all, so that 1,200 will, probably, be
the maximum of actual voters. Had the Reform Bill ad-
mitted 101. householders without restriction as to the pay-
ment of rates, the number of voters in this town would
have exceeded 6,ooo.—Brighton Herald.
The Glasgow Herald of Monday states, that
the number of voters registered for that borough up to
Saturday night was 4,756.
We understand the requisition calling on Col.
BUTLER to stand for the county is being signed with the
utmost enthusiasm.—Kilkenny Journal.
ENGLISH OPERA.--OLYMPIC THEATRE.
—A two-act drama, entitled The Conscript's Sister,
was produced at this theatre last night. Its plot and
structure are of the slightest description. A young French-
man of respectable family is drawn as a conscript: his
nerves are weak—protracted illness and a fright i❑ boy-
hood have prostrated bis physical and impaired his moral
energy—in plain words, he is a coward, and trembles at
the prospect of a soldier's life. If Francois, the con-
script, is less than man when he is summoned to serve his
country, he has a si,ter who proves herself more than
woman, and marches to the field in the guise of her bro-
ther's substitute. Hortense's heroism kindles her brother
into courage. He follows her to the war—fights like a
lion, and the curtain drops upo❑ him—a hero. Such
are the incidents of this little piece, which, singular though
they be, are said—and perhaps truly—to have their foun-
dation in fact. Mr. PERKINS played Francois, and be-
trayed the pusillanimity of the conscript with painful fide-
lity. The Conscript's Sister was personated, with her
usual felicity, by Miss KELLY. Miss H. CANYSE added
the aid of her sweet voice. These, with good scenery and
pretty music, caused the announcement of the repetition
of the performance to be received with favour.
DISSOLUTION OF THE LIVERPOOL PAR-
LIAMENTARY Utizoti.—At the meeting of the Committee
on Wednesday, a Select Committee of three gentlemen
was appointed to draw up a report of the proceedings of
the Union, to be presented to the members at a general
meeting, about to be called on their dissolution, in confor-
mity with their original constitution.—Liverpool Citron.
The body of a female was found, on Satur-
day last, in a field near Santry, by some reapers. It ap-
peared to have been there a considerable time, and the face
was so disfigured as to render it impossible to identify
her. Part of her dress was found at some distance from
where the body lay. An inquest will be this day taken
on view of the body.—Dublin Freeman's Journal.
ORIGIN OF A POPULAR PHRASE.—A
tailor of Samarcand living near the gate that led to the
burying-place, had by his shop-board an earthen pot,
hanging upon a nail, into which he threw a pebble when
any corpse was carried by, and at the end of every moon
he counted the contents of his pot, in order to ascertain
how many funerals had taken place. At length the tailor
died himself, and some time after, one that was acquainted
with his death, observing his shop to be deserted, inquired
what had become of him ? One of the neighbours of the
deceased answered, " The tailor is gone to pot as well as
the rest."

THE WANDERING PIPER.—His total re-
ceipts in Ireland amounted to 1281. 14s. 2d., of which
sum be obtained 45/. 65. 6d. in Dublin, 151. 10s. in
Cork, 101.75. 3d. in Limerick ; and his expenditure in Ire-
land amounted to 111. 35. Bd. In Scotland he only ob-
tained 81. I Is. ; but on his arrival at Edinburgh, which
terminated his Scotch tour, several Noblemen and Gentle-
men, jealous for the honour of Scotland, and anxious not
to be outdone by the Emerald Isle, agreed to make up
the deficiency. A meeting of gentlemen of the Albyn
Club-rooom give him 25/. 108. ; a Scotch Duke (whose
title is here withheld), 101. 10s. ; a Scotch Earl, 21. 25.;
a Scotch Nobleman, 10/. ; a Scotch Colonel, 51. ; and a
private party, 101. 10s.—total for Scotland, 1421, 9s.
His expenditure in Scotland was 61. 15s: 1 l d. ; and up
to his entrance into Wells his receipts in England have
only been 311. 9s. 6d., out of which his expenditure
amounts to 201. 55., owing to the extortion of some of the
English innkeepers. He has to make up 54 days, after
the 12th instant, for lost time on Sundays, Christmas-
day, and Good Friday, which completes his adventure ;
and during that time he has to pass through the principal
towns in Devon and Cornwall, returning up to the north
coast, through the several counties of Wales, and, after
taking London in his route, terminating his tour at Ber-
wick-upon-Tweed.—Liverpool Chronicle,
