THEIR MAJESTIES.

(Fr= the Windsor Express of Saturday.)
At the Castle every thing is now in a state of complete
quietude, and the Cnurt appears to be enjoying a little
:repose after the dazzling gaieties of the past season. There
is no company whatever visiting their MAJESTIES, except-
ing some of the members of the family, and no visiters
are expected for some time to come. The KING and
QUEEN remain in good health, and continue to take their
rides and drives in this delightful neighbourhood, gene-
rally once a day.
• The Duchess of GLOUCESTER has left, and although
her Royal Highness is better, her health c,intinues still
extremely delicate.
NVe do not hear that there is any foundation for the re-
port, that thel(ING intends forming a gallery of busts of
all the Kings it( England, and distinguished men, their
contemporaries; nor can we learn that his late MAJESTY
entertained any such design, had it been even practicable.
GEORGE V.'s object was to form a gallery of paintings of
all the distinguished men of his own time, many of which
were executed, and are now placed in the Waterloo Gallery.
We understand that the KING has employed an eminent
artist to paint the costume of all the different regiments
composing the British army, similar to the collection made
by WILLIAM, Duke of Cumberland, in the middle of the
last century, and which is now placed in the Equerry's
room at the Castle.

The accident which occurred on Tuesday morning to
Prince GEORGE of Cumberland has caused the greatest
solicitude at the Castle. The blow was a severe one, and
as it was on the only eye of which his Highness retains
the sight, great fears were entertained for the consequences.
This day, we understand, the account from Kew is very
favourable.

Lord PALMERSTON is expected to dine with the KING
this evening.
His MAJESTY goes to town as usual on Wednesday to
confer with his Ministers.

DONCASTER MEETING CONCLUDED.

FRIDAY NIGHT.
The Scarbrough Stakes of 30 sovs. each, 10 ft., for three
yr. old colts, Sst. 61b. ; fillies, Sst. 31b. ; the winner of
the St. Leger to carry 71b. extra. One mile. (19 subs.)

The following also started, but were not placed by the
Judge :—.Mr. Powlett's gr. f. by Figaro, Lord Cleveland's
b. c. brother to Chorister, Mr. Walker's Conrad, and Mr.
Bond's Ludlow. Betting-5 to 4on Birdcatcher, 7to 2
agst Figaro filly, 5 to 1 agst Physician, 6 to 1 agst Ludlow,
10 to 1 agst Conrad, 10 to 1 agst Fang, and 20 to 1 agst
brother to Chorister. Fang had a capital start, and led
them along at a smart pace to the distance; here Bird-
catcher, Physician, and the Figaro filly went up to him,
and the four ran in company to the Stand, where Fang
and the filly died away. The few lengths remaining were
severely contested, Physician winning by a short half-
length. We presume the difference in the course was the
occasion, or we should be induced to wonder how Physi-
cian was beaten by Birdcatcher and the Figaro filly in the
Leger race. Ludlow ran about as well as he did on
Tuesday, and Fang not much better. The winner ridden
by H. Edwards, Birdcatcher by Darling, Fang by Conelly,
Figaro filly by Nelson, Conrad by Scott, Chorister by a
lad, and Ludlow by T. Robinson.

ing Lady Maud was in front, where she remained to the
hill ; Gascoigne's there took up the work and maintained
it to near the distance, where Lady Maud and Miss Fanny
closed upon her; these three were now near two lengths
a-head of the others, and at the Stand they were abreast,
all at work, and Emiliana drawing upon them, but to all
appearance without a chance; within three or four strides,
however, Rob'nson had brought her up, but from the
position of the three horses before him was obliged to run
inside ; in the last stride he made a tremendous rush, and
to the astonishment of the trio, who had no conception of
a " fourth party" in this race, won by half a neck ;
jockeyship and nothing else won this race. Isabel was
ridden by R. Johnson, Miss Fanny by Nelson. Lady Maud
by Templeman, and Wallflower by H. Eiwards.

Our advices by the Skylark inform us that
trade was at a complete stand, still at Tampico and Vera
Cruz, without any prospect of improvement. General
SANTA ANNA was at Mount Orizaba, about twenty-five
leagues from Vera Cruz. A Tampico pilot-boat arrived
at Vera Cruz on the 23th July, with the news that Saint
Louise bad been taken, upon which a salute was fired by
the guns of the fort. The French barque of war Ceres,
18 guns, with the French Consul of Tampico and family
On board, was lying at anchor near the I-le of Sacrificios.
The town of Tampico had been rendered more healthy by
the clearing of the woods, &c., in its neighbourhood.
Rear_Admiral LABORDE, in the Hero, 74, with a large
frigate, corvette, and brig of war, were at the Havannah.
The Bishop of Cuba, Dr. D. JUAN Diaz DE EsPADA,
died on the 14th of August. All vessels laden from Eng-
land performed 40 days' quarantine; those without car-
goes somewhat less. Several vessels were loading with
bringing
gny at Belize, whence the Skylark sailed 4th July;
some large ships, however, were waiting in expectation of
a reduction in the price, and others had sailed to procure
cargoes elsewhere prior to the Ist of August. The. mer-
chants were not inclined to submit to a reduction price,

Hostilities among some of the native chiefs in the interior,
also caused trade to be very flat. By the death of Mr.
DALGETTE, Provost and Judge of the Court, a vacancy
had occurred, which it is hoped Government will fill up
aPpointing some barrister as Recorder, to aid the civil
Jurisdiction of Magistrates there, instead of a military man,
who, it appears, was at the same time Secretary to the
Superintendent of that colony.-.Falmouth Packet.

Sza.,—lt is with considerable surprise and indignation
that i see a long account in your paper of to-day of a
meeting at the Marylebone-office, between a person named
Riddell and myself, and as it is a gross perversion of the
truth, reflecting upon my character, I feel it a duty I ovvt
to myself to lose no time in clearing away the calumny.
Riddell having come to my linu•e disgustingly tipsy, and
saying he would not leave unless I gave him some money,
I, knowing he had no claims, found myself compelled to
force him out, when he remained sitting at my door, am'
compelled me to send for a police-officer to take him away.
Now, Sir, on appearing before Mr. Hoskins, the Alaobis.
trate, I simply stated (without reference to any expedi
tion) the above circumstance, and wished his Wurshil
would restrain him from subjecting me to a repetition.
Mr. Riddell was now beard, and at his conclusion the
Magistrate got him to promise not to annoy me again.
The object of my complaint being answered, I retired,
and no sootier had I left the door when this Riddell again
annoyed me, and induced me to return to the Magis-
trate, and request his intercession, when his Worship
(certainly very much to icy surprise) gave me to un-
derstand he partly credited the right of the man's claims.
I observed, that had I conceived for a moment that such
was his impression, I should have felt it my duty to tell
hint of the fact of my having a receipt now in my pos-
session from Riddell for an indemnification of all his ex-
penses ; when Mr Hoskins briefly told 1110, that to avoid
any further molestation I could retire by a private door,
when immediately I did so, but never dreamed that so
scandalous and miachievous an account would have reached
the papers. Permit me, Sir, to assure you that it is now
nearly a year since I got the receipt alluded to, but regret
to have met Riddell two or three times afterward., wan-
dering the streets in distress, with his wife, when, on
whose latter account, I always gave him some pecuniary
assistance, receiving, in return, his expressions of grati-
tude and satisfaction with my conduct at all times. I,
therefore, verily believe, that the man (being distressed)
has been fixed upon as a fit person by the hirelings of Don
Miguel to produce this annoyance and notoriety to the
friends of the liberating party.
1 really, Sir, am at a loss to know how so unjust a
statement could have got into your impartial paper, but as
I can vouch for the truth of my own statement upon oath,
I hope you will grant me the insertion of this letter,
I have the honour to remain, Sir, your obedient ser-
vant, CHARLES COCHRANE.

Dorset-street, Portman-square, Friday, Sept. 21.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

Saturday a young man, named Reynolds, was
brought before the LORD MAYOR, under the follow-
ing circumstances :
Mr. Wilson, a merchant in Devonshire-square,
stated that he saw an advertisement in one of the pa--
pers of a footman who wanted a place, and wrote to
the address, when he was waited upon by the pri-
soner, who, after some conversation, said he had
lived with Captain Foy, Lord John Somerset, the
Rev. Mr. Corry, of Russell-place, Fitzroy-square,
and a gentleman in Hall Moon-street, &c. Witness
wrote to Captain Foy, of Cheltenham, at the re-
quest of the prisoner, when a curious scene disclosed
itself. The prisoner had said that he had lived two
years with Captain Foy, and witness was surprised
at not receiving an immediate answer. In three or
four days, however, there came a letter pretending
to be from Captain Foy, giving the highest charac-
ter to the prisoner, arid speaking abundantly of his
capabilities as a footman. Upon this recommen-
dation Mr. Wilson would have engaged the prisoner,
if there had not arrived by the same post the follow-
ing letter from the head-waiter at one of the inns at
Cheltenham :

" Sir—l send for your perusal a copy of a letter sent
me by a Mr. Reynolds, of 33, Shoemaker-row, requesting
me to put an enclosed letter into the post-office at Chel-
tenham, directed to Wilson, Esq., Devonshire-squire,
London, which I did not think proper to do, but sent him
a letter in answer to that effect. Why a letter should come
from London to go by post to Devonshire-square I cannot
conceive; and therefore I bave sent you, on the other
side, a copy of the correspondence connected therewith.—
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" RORERT WHITMARSH,waiter at the
Plough Hotel."

The following are extracts from the enclosed let-
ters that were sent by Reynolds to the head waiter,
and to one of the principals of the Plough Inn :
" Mr. Whitmarsh—l shall feel much obliged to you if
you will do me the favour as to put this enclosed letter
(that pretending to be from Captain Foy) into the Gene-
ral Post. as-soon as you have read this, so that it might
come up by the Thursday evening's post. I hope I can
depend upon you to do it for me: and will you go to the
General Post-office, and ask for a letter directed for W.
H. Foy, as it has been a lying there ever since Thursday
last, 6th Sept. ; and if so be you can get it will take it
upon yourself to burn it, so that it might not be returned.
I hope I can depend upon you, for it is of the greatest con-
sequence. I lived under you as waiter in 1828.
" W.M. REYNOLDS."

" Honoured Sir,—l was once in your service, by the
recommendation of Mrs. Jervis, 15, in the Crescent, in
1828. I have written a letter to Mr. Whitmarsh, which
he received on Thursday, 13th of Sept. I also enclosed
another letter, directed to Wilson, Esq., Devonshire-
square, London, which I asked him if he would have the
goodness to put itinto the General Post-office for me, but he
has thought proper to keep it altogether, and I expect he
has broken it open, and if so, I will prosecute him as the
law directs. I wish you would see the letter, and that it
is sent as directed. If this is not complied with, I will.
come down and prosecute him for feloniously stealing the
letter. If I had been asked to put a letter into the post-
office,
I should have done it ; so would you, or anybody
else, with any common sense, and not a stole it. I trust
you will see it properly settled, without any further trou-
ble. Your truly bumble servant, W. REYNOLDS.
" To Nayler, Esq., Plough Hotel, Cheltenham."
Mr. Wilson stated, that as the counting-house
anti the private house were connected, his footman
would have constant access to the former, where
considerable sums of money might frequently be
laid hold of.---The prisoner said that he could not
proceed in his defence until he had seen his solicitor.
—Mr. Wilson had no objection to a postponement,
but he was determined, whatever trouble it might
cost him, to pursue the prosecution to the extremity,
for the sake of the public.
The LORD MAYOR said that he thought NIL W3l-
- had had a very narrow escape, arid hoped the
public would be put upon their guard against prac-
tices of the kind.

Mr. Hobler said it was a usual thing now for
servants to say, upon being put away, that they did
not care whether their masters gave them a character
or not. Such fellows, no doubt, were prepared with
some tricks like that which gave rise to the present
prosecution.—The prisoner was then remanded.
