THEIR MAJESTIES.

(From the Windsor Express of Saturday.)

The KING is in perfect health, and seldom fails taking
his favourite drives about the neighbourhood, at least once
a day, when the business of the State does not require his
AIAJESTY'S presence in the Metropolis.
The QUEEN was a few days ago severely indisposed
with a cold, which it was at one time feared would turn
to inflammation. Happily, however, these apprehensions
proved groundless, and we are glad to state that her MA-
JESTY is now perfectly recovered.

The Duchess of GLOUCESTER'S health is somewhat im-
proved. The Marchioness of WZLLESLEY is at present
in attendance, as Lady of the Bedchamber.
The Court continues very quiet, and we do not hear of
any entertainments in immediate prospect.
No day has yet been fixed for the Royal departure for
Brighton, although it is expected to take place about the
middle of the second week in November, until which time
their MAJESTIES will remain at the Castle. The Pa-
vilion, which has been undergoing great improvements,
will be ready for habitation by the 6th of next month.
The improvements consist of a handsome new dome en-
trance from the London road, in a style of architecture
correctly uniform with the general character of the build-
ing, and executed by Mr. RAINGER, by whom the dor-
mitories were built last year. The manner in which this
addition has been made is such as to excite general admi-
ration, and to do very great credit to the architect. There
has also been some new stabling erected in the unoccupied
wing that was left for a tennis court.

Mr. MILES, Superintendent of the Silver Pantry, has
lately, at his own desire, retired from that situation, after
having lived 40 years in the service of three successive
Sovereigns, namely, GEORGE 111., GEORGE IV., and
WILLIAM IV. In consequence of his estimable charac-
ter, the KING was graciously pleased to present Mr.
MILES with a handsome piece of plate on his retirement ;
and we understand that the gentlemen of the Board of
Green Cloth have also expressed their sentiments on the
occasion by a similar present.
Mr. SYKES, Sergeant Footman to his late MAJESTY
and the present KING, died on Monday night of inflam-
mation of the brain, after a short but very severe illness.
The funeral took place at Windsor this afternoon, when
the remains of the deceased were followed by the whole
of the Livery, in their undress.

The Earl of ALBEMARLE (from a Corre-
spondent), we rejoice to hear, has recently received a large
accession of fortune, quite unexpected, by the death of an
individual. No one is more worthy such a god-send,
than this excellent and patriotic Nobleman.

Colonel CAVENDISH'S new house, in Bur-
lington-gardens, is nearly finished, and it is one of the most
delightful minsions in the interior of London. The view
of his father's (the Earl of BURLINGTON) gardens is ex-
tensive, and uninterrupted by any intervening annoyance.
Carmel CAVENDISH is the second son of the Earl of Boa-
LINGTON. Lord CAVENDISH, the Earl's grandson, will
inherit the title and the estate.

The Earl of ROSLYN remains in London,
where he rambles about the town seemingly as uneasy as a
" fish out of water." In an evil hour Lord ROSLYN was
prevailed upon by the Duke of WELLINGTON to desert the
friends of his youth and of Isis advanced life, and to take
office under a Tory Government, where he had scarcely
been warm in his seat, when it expired, without the
slightest chance of resuscitation.
Lord LOWTHER is returned from his excur-
sion up the Rhine, where his Lordship describes the vine-
yards as abundantly laden with grates, and the gathering
as most favourable, so that Rhine wine, of the present
year, will not only by cheap, but of a precious quality.—
Lord Loa THER is now in London, but he intends to take
his departure for the North very shortly, where his active
services will soon be called into request.
Dr. ARNOTT, who had retired for a short
time to the Isle of Wight, to enable him to finish his work
on education, which, we understand, will shortly be pub-
lished, had scarcely arrived there when be received an
express from a friend, entreating the learned physician, at
all hazards, to go to Paris, where the health of a favourite
son was in great peril. Dr. ARNOTT, regardless of his
previous engagement., immediately left the Isle of Wight
for France by the shortest and most expeditious route, and
arrived in Paris just in time to restore to his father the
health of his son. Dr. ARNOTT returned to London as
soon as the youth became convalescent.

Don TELESFORODE TRUEBA, author of the
pleakant " comic entertainment," entitled Mr. and Mrs.
Pringle, immediately after the success of this piece at
Drury-lane, was applied to by the active manager of that
theatre for any other Drama that the worthy Don might
have in readiness. A comedy, in five acts, written by this
gentleman was accepted by Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE, at
Covent-garden theatre, last year, and, we are told, trans-
ferred to the new lessee. Don TRUEBA applied to Mr.
BARTLEY to know if there was any prospect of its being
immediately produced, Mr. BARTLEY received him with
great politeness; the result, however, was, that the author
took back his play, which he transferred to Drury-lane,
where it will shortly be acted.
Miss ANNE SCOTT, the daughter of the late
Sir WALTER SCOTT, accompanied her brother and sister,
Mr. and Mrs. LOCKHART, from Abbotsford to London,
immediately after the funeral of Sir WALTER. This
amiable young lady is now domiciled with her sister at their
house in Sussex-place, Regent's-park. Sir WALTER
SCOTT was warmly and affectionately attached to Mr.
LOCKHART, who in return manifested the deepest solicitude
and attention for his father-in-law, in whose chamber he
was when the worthy Baronet expired.
Mrs. CHARLES GORE, authoress of the
School for Coquettes, which was acted so many nights at
the Haymarket, and for which she obtained 1501., has
been commissioned by LAPORTE to get ready for him a
five-act comedy, to be brought out in the spring. We
are authorized in saying Mrs. C. GORE has had no com-
munication with the management of Drury -Lane since she
withdrew her comedy from that house last winter ; conse-
quently it is an error to suppose that any piece by her has
been rejected there.
There are two tragedies waiting for represen-
tation at Drury-Lane, where they are likely to wait for
some time. KENNEY'S Sicilian Vespers will require, as
we have already bad occasion to state, at least five per
formers of first or second-rate talents, so that there is little
chance of its appearance at present. The other tragedy is
said to be the production of a gentleman who writes under
the assumed name of SMITH or JONES, and does not re-
quire so much tragic strength ; but then it is compara-
ratively weakly written, although the situations are inte-
resting. We hear of nothing in the shape of a tragedy at
Covent- Garden, although there is a serious play among
the archives.
BRAHAM, a short time since, was engaged
to sing at the Garrick Theatre (erected on the spot where
the Royalty stood, in which he made his first appearance as
long ago as Octo;,er, 1787), for one night at 50/., stipulat-
ing that the whole money should be paid down before he
stepped upon the stage. When the time came, the curtain
rose ; but as no cash was forthcoming BRAHAM refused
to budge ; but a 101. note having been put into his hands
he went on for his first song. When next required to ap-
pear before the audience he again refused, until the ma-
nager went round and obtained 5/. more from the door-
keepers. This sum nearly drained the receipts, but
13xattAat could not be prevailed upon by any entreaties
to make his third entry without more money, and with
difficulty abont 2/. 108. were produced, under a solemn
assurance that the whole sum remaining due should be
punctually paid at the end of the entertainments. 13aanasr,

leaving
room, however, BRAHAM found it no easy matter to make
his way into the street, for every light was extinguished,
and not a soul was to he seen but an old sweeper ; and

with his 17/. 10s. We give this anecdote as it is now
current in dramatic circles,

STRAND IMPROVEMENTS.

THE OLD COACH INN TAVERN AND FAMILY
HOTEL,

THE GOLDEN-CROSS, CHARING-
CROSS,
rebuilt on an enlarged and improved plan, combining in
the highest degree comfort and economy, with arrange.
ments adapted for the convenience and accommodation of
Families and Gentlemen.

The recent improvements in the Strand having led to
the demolition of the Old GOLDEN-CROSS, care has
been taken to obtain a site for rebuilding this well-known
Establishment in the immediate neighbourhood, upon a
plan to include all the advantages which time and expe-
rience have developed.
The very convenient situation of the GOLDEN CROSS
is sufficiently known; its proximity tc the Houses of Par-
liament, to the Public Offices, and the Theatres, recom-
mend it especially to the notice of all who visit London,
whether upon business, or for amusement; whilst the ex-
tensive Coach Establishment of B. W. HORNE and Co.,
in connexion with the premises, will secure the most con-
venient and unlimited facilities for conveyance and corre-
spondence to all parts of England and the Continent.
The new Proprietor, THOMAS EDWARDS (late of
the Queen's Arms Tavern, Newgate-street), respectfully
solicits a trial of this Establishment. He refers, with feel-
ings of gratitude and satisfaction, to the kind and liberal
support of his friends and the public, in his previous un-
dertakings, and desiring to deserve a continuance, he has
made every possible exertion to insure it, regardless of
labour or expense.
lie has removed a portion of his OLD STOCK OF
WINES from Newgate-street, and has, through his con-
nexion and influence in the Wine Market, laid in such a
Stock of 'Vines and Spirits as may challenge competition
with any house in the metropolis.
In the domestic arrangements, every attention has been
paid to cleanliness and comfort; the premises have been
thoroughly aired and dried; and the Proprietor flatters him-
self that the Sleeping-rooms and Beds of his Hotel cannot
be surpassed, if equalled, by any similar establishment.
Royal Mails and Coaches to all parts of the United
Kingdom and the Continent, start daily from this Tavern.
N.B. A porter will be in attendance throughout the
night, so that gentlemen may get access to their apart-
ments at any hour.
