FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR, DEC. 13.—The recent proceedings oil

the frontiers of Portugal will, it is said, occasion his
MAJESTY to defer his visit to Brighton for an inde-
finite period, the distance of that place from the Me-
trepolis rendering the frequent interchange of despatches
and communications from the Cabinet Ministers► in-

convenient.

His MAJESTY paid a second visit to the Castle
yesterday, to inspect the new apartmenti in detail.
His MAJESTY was conducted over the building b)
Mr. Wyattville, and directions were given for com-
pleting some of the private suite of rooms with all
possible despatch.
The 63d Regiment marched in two divisions, yes-
terday and this morning, from the Infantry Barracks
to Portsmouth, where they will embark for Portugal.
The Castle duty is now performed by the Royal Horse
Guards dismounted.

BRIGHTON, DEC. 13.—Now that all doubts of his
MAJESTY'S intention to visit this place are at an end,
all is bustle and preparation for the occasion. Brighton
is expected to be exceedingly gay during the holidays,
most of the large houses that were unoccupied hays
been very recently engaged, and as the Parliamentary
recess will enable the fashionable world to keep moving
for a short time, the KING'S presence will, as a mat-
ter of course, make Brighton the point of. attraction.
The Duke and Duchess of Bedford, Lord and Lady
Holland, are amongst the most recent departures.

The Duke of York transacted official business yes-
terday with Earl Bathurst Secretary of State for the War De.,

The Duke of Richmond had a severe bilious at-
tack on Friday last, the consequences of which were fur some time
very ahkrming, but by the skill and attention of the medical atten-

are most happy in being able to say, that his Grace is now consi-
derably better.—Brighton Gazette.

An abstract of the Speech of the King- of France,
arrived at Davies's (North and South AmericanCoffee-honse),
precisely at nine o'clock. It was read to nearly SOO merchants,

ed 'to be hut one opinion respecting it. The cry was, "it is too
general, it means war."

DEATH OF LORD KINNAIRD:-.—We regret to
state that Lord Kinnaird died on Monday morning last, at his
house in Regency-square, Brighton.—His Lordship had for some
time been in a very hopeless state. Lady Kinnaird, who was a
constant attendant upon her long-afflicted Lord, is inconsolable on
the melancholy occasion. His Lordship was a very amiable cha-
racter, and his loss is very extensively regretted. He was elder
brother to the Hon. Douglas Kinnairch The deceased was in the
47th year of his age.
TUE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS.—The node of
Tuesday► which arrived last night, contains a piece of intelligence
which we sincerely hope is incorrect. It states that the Marquis
of Hastings was on board the Revenge, in the Bay of Bare, and
hail been there three days, on the 26th of November, unable to be
lauded, in consequence of a serious illness of which it was not
expected that he should recover. His situation, which had filled
his family with deep anxiety when he had embarked at Malta,
had grown worse during the voyage.

Yesterday a Ballot took place at Lloyd's for the
election of three Members to supply the place of three Geutlemeu
of die Committee, who went out by rotation. After a sharp con-
test, the numbers were declared to be—

For Mr. Alderman Thompson ..
Mr. Lyndsay, jam.
Mr. Dewar 463
Mr.. Franco l6l
and the three former were consequently elected.

At a meeting of the subscribers to Lloyd's, yester-
day morning, it was revolved to petition Government against the
contemplated removal of the Sea Policy Stamp-office, from Low-
hard-street to the West-end of the town. It is stated the amount
received there is 168,0004 out of the total revenue of 180,0001.
and that the inconvenience of running westward for stamps would
be a serious inconvenience to trade.

Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at the
East India Howie, when Captain William H. Clarence Dalrymple
way sworn into the command of the ship Va►aittart, consigned
to Bengal end China.
There is at present in preparation at the King's
Theatre the Opera of &Mara in Barlud,-composed by Paccu►i,
in order to bring into notice the talents of that excellent sinter
Zuchelli. -.(Le Furet.)

A new comedy, by Morton, is in rehearsal at
Cuvent-gar►len Theatre, which will bte produced soon ater
Christmas.

The choruses, it is said, are quite vitt tei tune at
Old Drury. Nightly salaries have been offered, instead of the
old-established custom of weekly ones; but the parties are too
sl rok 9, and are determined—nay, iudeed, ",resolved" not to ling
under Price. The usual choruses in Alnlvina were, in corise-
quence or this dissentirm, dispensed with on Saturday last. The
time has been when Managers calculated differently, and all was
harmony. _ _

Sixteen individuals who acted contrary to the hat
Proelatnation, relative to dealing with Protestants, were carded
or flogged on Saturday and Sunday night, between Athlone Ann
Ballinatdoe, and a woman was actually compelled to swallow Intl)
a pound of soap, which she had bought from a Protestant.--4
