FASHIONABLE• INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR, JUNE 23.—His Majesty, with his usual
attendants, took his daily airing in his phaeton to the
Castle ; Mr. Wyattville was in waiting to attend las
Majesty, who inspected all the works, and then re-
turned to the Royal Lodge, Amongst the visitors
to-day to see the improvements, was the Earl of Ches-
terfield.

The Duke of York's health continues improving
his Royal Highness was better yesterday. Numbers
of inquiries have been made at his Royal Highness's
residence for the last few days by the Nobility, Gentry,-
&c. The Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess
Augusta. and the Princess Sophia visited, the Royal
Duke yesterday. The Duke of Sussex has also
visited his Royal Highness.

Mr. Crompton (attached to. the Embassy of the
Right Hon. Stratford Canning) arrived from Con-
stantinople yesterday afternoon at the Secretary of
State's Office for Foreign Affairs, with despatches for
Mr. Secretary Canning.
One troop of the First Life Guards arrived at the
cavalry barracks, from Nottingham, this morning, and
another troop marched into Colnbrook, also from Not-
tingham.

-On the night of Thursday, the Ist instant,an elope-
ment took place from the neighbourhood of Longford.
The lady, we hear, is much admired for her personal
attractions ; and the young gentleman; who is a surgi-
cal student, and some years her junior, took the oppor-
tunity of her father's absence in Dublin, to borrow his
gig and horse, to convey. his Desdemona and himself
to the land of I-Iymen, from whence, it is presumed,
they are now on their return.—Belfast Chronicle.
The Russian sloop Enterprize, commanded by
Captain Kotzebue, has arrived at Portsmouth from a
three year's Voyage of Discovery, and it is the inten-
tion of her commander to sail again for St. Peters-
burgh on Monday next. Professor Fschscholtz, the
naturalist, who accompanied Captain Kotzebue, and
who is at present in London, has undertaken to draw
up for publication a narrative of this voyage, which
will probably extend to two volumes, and be illus-
trated by plates and maps. The observations in natu-
ral history and other sciences will be reserved for a dis-
tinct work.

" A man," says Dean Swift, " spends the last half
of MS life in regretting what he has done in the first
half."

It was observed by Lady Towniend that white lies
were very often the gentlemen ushers of black ones.
BEAUTIES' OF LAW.--." I never, said Voltaire,
,c was ruined but twice, once, When I gained a law
suit ; and once, when I lost it."

A FALSE RETURN.—Wc understaual that some
friends of Lord John Russell's were greatly elated the
other day, by hearing that his Lordship was returned.
Further enquiry, however, satisfied them he was re-
turned not. fir Huntingdon, but, otn Huntingdon.
EXEMPLAR JUSTICE..--" Silence, gentlemen,"
said a Somersetshire Magistrate to the rabble at Taun-
ton ; co I have this morning committed no less than six
poachers ; and have not yet heard a single word they
said."

" So Captain Silk has just arrived at Versailles, I
find," said a lady, " heavens, what a name for a sol-
dier !" " The best name in the world," replied Horace
Smith, who was standing near her at the time, " for
silk,, u know, can► never be worsted."
MELANCHOLY INTELLIGENCE.--It is believed
that three of the family of the Bells are likely to be
hung in the parish of Esher, through the machinations
of the Smiths. The event, if it takes Place, will make
some noise,. . 11, this is an old joke, we are sure it de-
serves to ha retard.

A gentleman well known in the 'thcatricat world ;
presented his. tragedy, a fi w days since to Char
b:emble, adding, as an encouragement to its acceptance,
that he would give it him ii. r nothing, I thank you,
Sir," said the manager, when the poet called on him
a week after for 'his opinion, " and ani'happy to find
.that You know the exact value, of your play.
A BROAD HINT.-4 Ma, faith," said Sir Andrew
Agnew, " I was obliged to give that chief a broad
hint the other day,"—" Abroad hint," replied 'a friend,
" I thought he was one. of those who would not take
a broad hint." "By my faith, he was forced to take
it,".added Sir Andrew; " for the fellow wadna gang
out of the door, sae I threw him out of the win-
dow."

During the heat of the attack on Algiers, a Captain
of one of the ships observed some blood, on returning
to a part of the deck which he had just quitted—and
asked if tray one had been thrown overboard. " No,
please your Honour," said a gallant tar, " raising up
some canvas, and spewing the body of a man who had
been killed by a bar of iron stuck into his forehead ;
" but they have made a unicorn of the serjeant of
marines, and I am keeping him here to show him to'
the mess when this job is over."
CALEMBOUROS.—We seldom hear any thing so
merry in London as in Paris upon such occasions ; but
two lively enough jokes, and not ill-natured ones, are
abroad on‘ the subject of the new peerage. It was re-
ported that Sir W. Knighton was to be created a peer,
and Lady Halford a peeress, there being some want of
precedent which prevented her husband, Sir H. Hal-
ford from being ennobled. Upon this a wit remarked,
that 'Sir William's title ought to be " Lord Deliver
us," and 'Sir Henry's motto, " A-peer-1-a'n't."
A CASE FOR Mn. HUSKISSON,—.NOt having an
entirely free trade leads to many serious losses and dis-
appointments. Only a month ago, Mr. Cross, our
neighbour, in Exeter 'Change, ofrered a large sum of
money to induce an elephant belonging to the King of
France to visit this country. Every thing was satis-
fitetorily'arranged ; but annoy the Second has not
come: on inquiry, it is reported that he was not em-
barked, because he would not submit to have his trunk
searched by Custom-house officers.
EQUIVOQUE.—The other day, a surgeon, not far
from Brampton, who had regularly gone through his
gradations at Apothecaries' i -ball, wrote to the secre-
tary for a copy of the forms, &c., to which as a member
he was entitled. His servant delivered the letter, but
the name not being familiar to the secretary, he re-
peatedtio n
