FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

WrNDSOR, JUT 10.-.--The King continues to
take his usual drive almost daily to 'Virginia-water,
where his MAJESTY and suite take an excursion on the
lake, and afterwards dine in a marquee erected on its
margin for the accommodation of thq King. His
MAJESTY paid a visit to the Castle on Thursday to
inspect the progress of the works. The Royal Horse
Guards, preceded by their band, marched from the
Cavalry-barracks yesterday morning to the square in
the barracks of the Foot Guards, where divine service
was performed to both regiments. The bands of the
Royal Horse Guards and of the 634 regiment at-
tended, and played on the Terrace in the afternoon to
a numerous company of visitors from all quarters,
The King will hold a Privy Council on Wednesday
at the Castle.

The account of the state of the Duke of York yes-
terday was very flattering—m His Royal is mending
fast.' The Royal Duke was so much better, we are
happy to say, as to be able to ride out on horseback in
the morning from Mr. Greenwood's villa towards
Hampstead. Sir Henry Halford, after attending his
Royal patient, called on the Duke mid Duchess of
Gloucester to report the state of their Royal relative.
The Princess Augusta and the Princess Sophia visited
the Royal Duke yesterday. His Royal Highness
transacted military business with Sir Herbert Taylor.

Yesterday the Neapolitan Minister transacted busi-
ness at the 'Foreign-office.
A king's Messenger arrived at the Secretary of
State's Office for Foreign Affairs on Sunday night,
with despatches from the Right Hon. Stratford, Can-
ning, our Ambassador at Constantinople.
The Earl of Liverpool arrived at his residence at
Whitehall yesterday morning.
The proposed improvements in Pall-mall extend as
far westward as the Duke of Buckingham's mansion.
The only houses to be left, standing are those of Lady
Dysart and Mr. Evans, the celebrated bookseller,—
The house between his and the Duke of Buckinham's
comes down to make a passage to the new '1 errace
fronting the Park. The Herald's College, the Tra-
veller's and the Athencean club-houses, will occupy the
greater part of the space in Pall-mall.
Next to having none at all, there cannot be a more
striking symptom of a scanty wardrobe than wearing
a black velvet waistcoat in the dog-days.

The celebrated Wilkes was always waited upon at
table by female servants ; imagining that the conversa-
tion was less likely to be repeated or commented upon
by them than by men ; agreeing with the French pro-
verb, " the female mind is like a mirror, which re-
ceives every impression, but retains none."
TILE CHIEF JUSTICE BEST.---ThiS Learned Judge
was very much indisposed while at the Bedford As-
sizes, and durin the long trial of the case of Sir
Gregory Page turner, Bart. appeared to suffiv much.
His Lordship was to have proceeded on Sunday morn-
ing early to the seat of the High Sheriff of Bedford-
shire, and from thence to Huntingdon ; but having
passed a very bad night, was compelled to postpone
his journey to a later period of the day. We believe
his Lordship's indisposition arises from an attack of
the cholera morbus, while on the road to Bedford.

Yesterday morning; soon after eight o'clock, the
remains of the late Miss Dee, who was attendant and
lady in waiting' on"'the' Princess Sophia Matilda be-
tweeu ,forty and fifty years, were removed from the
Princess's house in Curzon-street, May Fair, for in-
terment in a family vault at Barnes, Surrey.
TUB. TitEASUA/C8 OF Tug DvEr.--p-A fisherman
near Warren, H.l: lately caught a fish, which had se-
creted in its' maw a lady's green silk indispensable,
containing an ivory box of rouge, a few love letters,
some, original poetry copied from old newipapers,
hunch of false curls, two teeth made of white wax,
four yards of tape, and, some large bars of steel, intend-
ed for corsettes.

FESTIVITIES AT -SrowE.—Mn Thursday the
weather being most 'auspicious, Buckingham was
thronged at an early hour in the morning with parties
proceeding to 'Stowe Park, to enjoy the amusements
of the day. On the ground, the course was lined with
the fair sex in their gayest attire. There were two
bands of music stationed behind the grand stand in
which His Grace the Duke of 'Buckingham sat, ac-
companied by a number of other persons of distinction,
Near this was another ('Preacher s) stand, which exhi
bited a fine display of the beauty of Buckinghamshire,
and on other parts of theground were numerous booths,
of all pretensions, for. the supply of refreshments for,
the company.
HINDtT NOTION OF FALSE EVIDENCE.-411 some
cases, a giver of false evidence, from a pious motive,
even though he know the truth, shall not lose a seat in
heaven ; such evidence wise men call the speech of the
gods. Whenever the death of a man who had not
been a grievous offender, either of the servile, he
commercial, the military, or sacerdotal class, would be
occasioned by true evidence, from the known rigour
of the King, even though the fault arose from inad-
vertence or error, falsehood may be spoken ; it is even
preferable to truth.--Dherma Sagint.

AN AxswEn.--An old schoolmaster who usually
heard his pupils once a week through Watt's Scrip-
ture History, and afterwards asked them promiscuously
such questions as suggested themselves to his mind,
one day desired a young urchin to tell him who Jesse
was ? when the boy replied " the flower of Durn-
blame."

A very worthy, though not particularly erudite
under-writer at Lloyd's, was conversing one day with
a friend in the Coffee-house on the subject of a ship
they had mutually insured. His friend observed, "Do
you know that' I shrewdly suspect our ship is in
jeolardli." ~ The D--1 she is,' replied he ; "well,
I'm glad that she's got into some port at last."
How TO MAKE A DOCTOR.--Before the honour-
able degree of M.D. is conferred, the candidate is
commonly examined in Latin. At a recent examina-
tion in a University not a hundred miles from Edin-,
burgh, the following question was asked ;.,—,4 Quid
est crearei" The young ./Esculapius looked rather
but at length answered,--" Creare est
