The Duke of CAMBRIDGE left town yester-
day txtorning on his return to Hanover. His Royal High-
ness, attended by Count KIELMANSIZZE, entered his travel-
ling carriage at half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning,
and proceeded to Dover. The Royal Duke will cross the
Channel to Calais, and from thence to the residence of his
father-in-law, the Elector of Hesse Cassel, at Rumpen-
heim, where his Royal Highness is expected to remain a
few days, and afterwards to proceed to Hanover.
The Duke of CLARENCE came to town
Yesterday morning from his residence in lush), Park. The
Princess SerBIA visited his Royal Highness, and the LORD
CIIANCELLOR. had an interview with the Royal Duke at
the Admiralty. His Royal Highness remained at the Ad-
nairalty till past four o'clock, and then left town on his
return to Bushy.

Despatches were brought by a gentleman to
the Foreign Office, Downing-street, yesterday afternoon
from Vienna, which were forwarded by way of Hamburgh.
The Prussian Minister transacted business
yesterday at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs.

A few days since, as his MAJESTY was in-1
apecting his stud (a very usual thing at present), he ob-
served one of the stablemen to appear very pale and dejected.
His MAJESTY humanely inquired the reason ; but the
groom, astonished at this mark of condescension from his
master, denied being ill. His MAJESTY, however, was in-
credulous, and the next day the helper was visited by the
Royal Physician. A week after he received an order to
go to Brighton, and not to engage himself at all in his
usual occupation. The consequence was, that he is now
quite recovered, and able to communicate to every one this
little trait of his MAJESTY'S benevolence.

THE ARMY.—The successor to the late Sir
HENRY TORRENS in the office of Adjutant General, though
not officially declared, is generally understood to be Sir
HRRBERT TAYLOE. This appointment will give universal
satisfaction in the military circles, the highly satisfactory
manner in which Sir HERBERT has filled the situation in
which he has hitherto served, having gained the general
approbation of the numerous class of that profession with
whom he, in the course of his official career, lx.oame con-
tinted.

BRUNSWICK CONSTITUTIONAL CLUB
We perceive that one of their objects is to raise a " Pro-
testant Rent."—Dublin Evening Post.
ALNwicK.—Those annual disturbers of the
peace of the people of this part of the country, bands of
Irish &harem, are again spreading dismay in the villages
and terror in the towns. On Saturday a scene similar to
the affray of last year nearly occurred ; but by the activity
of the police, and the timely sounding of the bugles calling
the militia staff to arms, the gathering storm was dispelled.
la the course of the day not fewer than 15 or 20 were
lodged in the Correction-house. An accident nearly fatal
occurred. A horse watering at the High Pant, which is
the midst of the throng on such occasions, was startled,
and leapt back amongst the people, by which a shearer was
very seriously injureel—supposed, indeed, at the moment,
as the Irish expressed it, to be killed dead. Immediately
numbers of the reapers prepared to avenge themselves on
the horse, and were with difficulty prevented from cutting
him down with their sickles. One of our Magistrates was
actively engaged in the preservation of the peace, which
was so much interrupted at one time, that the shops in
and near the Corn Market had to be closed. One farmer,
returning home about eleven at night, was incommoded by
six or eight shearers in Bondgate, one of whom placed a
very disagreeable cravat round his neck—a sickle ! He
sprang from his horse, seized the fellow courageously, and
shook him tremendously, notwithstanding lie was alone, and
surrounded by the others.—Tyne Mercury.
The sale of the ancient Castle and Demesne
of Bodiham, in Sussex, having created an unusual degree
of sensation ; it is fortunate Mr. GEORGE ROBINS has been
able to get an historical sketch of it, as we are persuaded
it will be read with great interest by our readers. The
following is what we have alluded to :—Bodiham Castle,
Sussex, at a small distance eastward of the village of
that name, is seated near the river Rother, on the bor-
ders of the county, on the Kent side. Independent of
the great interest which these magnificent ruins pos-
sess for the antiquary, the solemn stillness of their
scenery. arising from the motionless waters which sur-
round them, renders them no less delightful to the pic-
turesque eye than the pensive mind. Seated in a low
ground, like many of the ancient mansions of England, the
Castle of Bodiham is environed by a large and deep moat,
and presents a figure nearly square, guarded by a round
tower at each angle—having gates in the north and south
parts, and a quadrangular turret on the east and west
sides. The north gate is the principal entrance ; and it is
approached over a road or causeway which stretches across
the moat, whilst it was also formerly defended by a port-
cullis yet hanging on its grooves—and an advanced porch,
part of which is still remaining. On each side of the en-
trance is a square embattled tower ; and immediately above
the gate are three escutcheons of arms carved beneath a
crest of an unicorn's head. The first of these are the arms
of the Lords of BODIHAM ;--the second those of the family
of DALYNGRICE, by whom the Castle was built ;—and the
third those of a marriage in the family now unknown.—
The lodgings and offices of this Castle were parallel to the
main walls, leaving an open area in the centre, and the
interior forms a pleasing view of the towers and walls
mantled with ivy, surrouading a square of verdure orna-
mented by the trees upon it. On the eastern side of the
ruins is the chapel, and at the south west angle is the
kitchen. The abutments of a bridge are still remaining,
both at the sallyport and at the principal entrance. The
great gate is very grand—it is flanked by two square
machicolated towers. The east and west walls measure
165 feet ; those forming the north and south 150 feet.
On the north side 'lf this Castle, as stated by the Rev.
Mr. RUSSELL, in a letter to Sir WILLIAM BURRELL, is
a very remarkable echo—the excellence consists in placing
the hearers and singers at different distances from the edi-
fice. From the grants of 1 RICHARD 111. it appears that
a park was at that time attached to the Castle. This noble
pile, still magnificent even in its ruins, was built by one
of the DALYNCRIGES, a family of great consequence in
Sussex, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. From
them it passed, 31 HENRY VI. with PHILIPPA, daughter
and heiress of Sir RICHARD DALYNGRIGE, to Sir
THOMAS LEWICENOR. This family was also of high con-
sideration in Sussex—to which it gave several Knights of
the Shire, and nine High Sheriffs. It became nett the
property of the Earls of THANET, from whom it passed
by sale to the family of Powya.r.; and at length came by
purchase into the possession of Sir THOMAS WEBSTER,
with whose other estates it has descended to Sir GODFREY
WEBSTER, the present owner. The sale, we perceive, is
fixed by GEORGE. ROBINS for the 18th Sept., with several
firms, and the vicarage of Hooe--the whole of which are
to be sold on the same day, and, It is uudtrstood all belong
to Sir GODFREY WEBSTER, Bart.
