WINDSOR, AUG. 22.

In the afternoon of yesterday (the King's birth day) the
streets were thronged with the carriages of the company
invited to dine with their MAJESTIES. At seven o'clock
precisely their MAJESTIES and Royal retinue entered St.
George's Hall, and took their seats at the table, where the
whole of the company, amounting to 110, sat down to
a most sumptuous banquet, served up on the mv.nificent
gold service. The brilliant display of the sideboards had
a dazzling effect. The band of the Royal Blues occupied
the music gallery, and played various pieces during dinner.
After the cloth had been removed the Marquis of WEL-
LESLEY proposed his MAJESTY'S health, which was drank
with enthusiasm. The KING acknowledged the compli-
ment, and afterwards gave the health of her MAJESTY,
which was also drank with the same eclat. After some
time the company retired to the Waterloo Gallery, where
they partook of tea and coffee, and from thence they pro-
ceeded to the two grand drawing rooms. Her MAJESTY'S
private band, in full uniforms, occupied the grand music
room adjoining, and played during the remainder of the
evening. Among the company invited were the Marquis
of WELLESLEY, Earl and Countess of SEFTON, the Ladies
NIOLYNEUX, Lord ASIIBROOK, Sir WILLIAM and Lady
FREMANTLE, Lady and Miss GORE, the PROVOST of
ETON and his Lady, the DEAN of WINDSOR and his
Lady, and the Commanding and Field Officers of both
regiments, Lord and Lady MARYBoaouGO, and Sir
JEOFFREY WYATVILLE.

The following were staying at the Castle, on a visit to
their MAJESTIES : —Their Royal Highnesses the Duke
and Duchess of CUMBERLAND, Duke and Duchess of
GLOUCESTER, Princes GEORGE of Cumberland and Cam-
bridge, Earl and Countess of ERROL, Lord FARNBOROUGH,
Sir HILG ROVE TURNER, Lady WESTMEATII, Sir HENRY
WHEATLEY, and the Duke of DORSET.
To-day his MAJESTY drove out and took an airing in
the Great Park.
To-morrow their MAJESTIES will leave the Castle for
Bushy, where they will lunch and dine. Their MAJESTIES
will be accompanied by part of their Royal suite. They
will return to Windsor in the evening.
On Friday the KING will leave for St. James's Palace,
where he will hold a levee.

CREDITORS OF THE DUKE OF YORK.

The creditors of the Duke of York had another meet-
ing yesterday, in pursuance of an adjournment, but it
would seem that the executors still preserve a perfect si-
lence respecting the statement which was put forth a short
time hack, that " arrangements were making for the im-
mediate discharge of hie Royal Highness's debts ; " and
they are equally silent on the subject of the jewels of his
Royal Highness, which, it was stated in a Morning Paper,
were "about to be sold for the benefit of his creditors."
These jewels, it is known, were valued a very few days
after the death of the Duke, and were calculated as being
worth 150,0001. They were carried down to Windsor by
desire of his Majesty, but how they were disposed of re-
mains to be explained. It is known that a large propor-
tion of these valuables had belonged to the Duche e of
York in her lifetime, and as some legacies bequeathed by
her Royal Highness at her demise have been paid since
the death of her husband, it is inferred that the jewels
have been, in some way i r other, made available for
that purpose. The legality of the application of any
part of the personal property of the Duke to pur-
poses in which the interests of the creditors at large
have not been consulted, is now about to be disputed;
and steps are taking to obtain a strict review of the whole
of the proceedings in Chancery and elsewhere—for which
purpose the assistance of a professional man of eminence
has been secured. On the subject of debts, supposed to
be due by his late Majesty to the Duke of York, the cre-
ditors are also about to institute a rigid inquiry ; and it is
expected that some conclusive evidence will be obtained on
this head, from a lady resident at Brighton, who, it is
believed, was intimately acquainted with the pecuniary
transactions of the Royal Brothers at the time the debts
are alleged to have been incurred. The majority of the
creditors express great indignation at the veil of mystery
which has been thrown over affairs i❑ which they are so
deeply interested ; and some do not hesitate to say that a
preference has been shown, quite inconsistent with that
impartiality which the fair administration of the estate
of the Duke would justify them in expecting. The
amount of the debts of the creditors, who have now
coalesced, with the view of promoting inquiry, and endea-
vouring to obtain an equitable consideration of their
claims, is upwards of 70,0001. ; and it is expected that
the sum will be considerably enlarged before the next
meeting.
