WiNtisoit; AUG. 21.—Yesterday the Duke of •
CLARENCE arrived at the Castle on a visit to her
MAJESTY.—The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCES-
TER arrived this day from Bagshot Park, and the
Duchess of YORK from Oatlands. It being the
Duke of CLARENCE's birth-day, the QUEEN gave a
dinner- to the ROYAL FAMILY at Froginore, and in •
the evening had a select party of the neighbouring
Nobility.
BRIGHTON, AUG. 20.—The PRINCE REGENT
had intended to enjoy another equestrian airing
in public to-day, the horses were ordered and
saddled, but the rain increasing, a countermand
was issued. His Royal Highness, accompanied
by the Duke of YoaK, and the Noblemen of his
suite, crossed from the Palace to oe,Riding
Sctiool, soon after two o'clOck this afternoon,
where he was on horseback a considerable time.
The dinner party, as before, was confined to the
Royal suite and visitors at the Unlace, yesterday,
which will be 'the same to-day. Not a single.
card of invitation is issued. The Steyne had but '
few promenaders during the evening, anti con-
sisted of those who had come inland to partake
of the pleasures of a watering place, and seemed
determined to enjoy them in all weathers.
THE Kiss's BAND.—The vacancy occasioned
by the death of Sir WILLIAM PARSONS excited an
active competition to succeed him. Several can-
didates, of well-known talents and high musical ,
l'eptite, started for the Post. But a promise, it
seems, had been made by the PRINCE REGENT •
in favour of Mr. SHIELD, to whom it has been
allotted, and we have no doubt that, by, the gene-
ral acknowledgment of all his rivals, the place
could not • have been assigned to a person better
qualified by professional knowledge, taste, anti
genius, or more justly entitled to respect and
regard, for his estimable character in private life.
The celebrated Baron's Hall at At undel Castle
is immediately to be completed, agreeably to the
directions left in the Will of ale late Duke. The.
stained glass window, representing Icing JoHN
signing Magna Charta, is removed thither, in or-
der
to be fixed in the Hall. The Uuke of NOR..
IFOLIC was to arrive at the Castle yesterday.
