DON ISIIGUEL.

(Front the Court i'Vetasman.)
His Royal Highness dined with his Majesty on Tuesday,
at. the Royal Lodge, Windsor Park. The party who had
the honour of being invited to meet the Prince consisted
of nearly the same individuals who dined at the Lodge on
the preceding day, with the addition of the Duke and
Duchess of Clarence, and Lord Beresford. His Royal
Highness breakfasted at the Royal Lodge yesterday morn-
ing, and afterwards proceeded in the King's pony-chaise,
attended by Bart Mouutcharles and the Count de Villa
Real, to Sandpit-gate to see the eameleopard and other rare
animals which are kept there. From Sandpit gate the
Prince proceeded to Windsor Castle, where Mr. Wyattville,
the architect, and the clerk of the works, were in atten-
dance to receive his Royal Highness, whom they had the
honour to conduct over the different parts of that extensive
pile of buildings; the Prince was accompanied in his visit
to the Castle by a number of visitors from the Royal
Lodge ; the party were conducted through the suites of
state and private apartments ; the Prince went to St.
George's Chapel, where the Dean and Chapter were assem-
bled and conducted the Royal visitor through the chapel.—
His Royal Highness made particular inquiries respecting
the stalls of the Knights of the Order of the Garter. The
Prince noticed one of the banners, respecting which no
information could be given his Royal Highness, as to whom
the banner bad belonged, but which the Prince recognised
as belonging to his Royal Highness's family : the banner
is uncommonly old.

The travelling-earriage and four which was to convey his
Royal Highness to Loudon having arrived, the Prince,
attended by Earl Mountuharles and Count Villa Real, left
the Castle and came to town, to the residence of Earl
Dudley, in Arlington-street, where the Prince arrived at a
quarter-past four o'clock. On his way to town, his Royal
Highness called at the apartments of the Duchess of Kent,
and the Princess Sophia, in the King's Palace, Kensington ;
their Royal Highnesses being absent at the time, the
Prince left his card.

The Duke and Duchess of Clarence gave a grand enter-
tainment to his Royal Highness, at their residence at the
Admiralty, on which occasion the state apartments were
lighted up, and prepared for the reception of the party.—
Two gentlemen porters were stationed at the entrance,
wearing broad handsome scarves over the right shoulder,
and bearing long staves about seven feet high, at the top of
which were the Royal arms in silver, surrounded with the
motto of the Order of the Garter; five footmen were
arranged on each side of the hall in their state liveries ;
twelve pages, dressed in a superb dress of purple and gold,
were stationed in the inner hall, to usher in the company
to the apartments. The company began to arrive at
seven o'clock, at a quarter-past seven o'clock the Prince ar-
rived, attended by Earl Mountcharles and Coant Villa Real.
Among the company present to meet his Royal High-
ness, were Prince Leopold, the Lord Chancellor, and Lady
Lyndhurst; Prince Esterhazy (the Austrian Ambassador),
and the Princess Esterhazy ; Prince Lieven (the Russian
Ambassador), and the Princess Lieven ; Marquis Palmella
(the Portuguese Ambassador), and the Marchioness Pal-
mella ; the Duke of Devonshire, Viscount Goderich, Earl
and Countess Carlisle, Earl Dudley, Couut and Coun-
tess Munster, Sir W. Fremantle, Marchioness West-

this town and neighbourhood for several months, has lat-

has entered a dwelling, the inmates have generally become
successively affected ; and in several instances whole fa-
milies have been swept off by the pestilence.—lnverness
