WINDSOR, DEC. s.—Yesterday afternoon►,
at half-past two o'clock, the King, accompanied by the
Lot(' Steward and the Earl of Fife, as Lord in Waiting,
left the Royal Ledge, in a close carriage, and proceeded to
the Castle, where his Majesty passed nearly two hours,
when he left and returned to the Royal Lodge, and, at the
usual hour, honoured his distinguished attendants with his
company to dinner.—This day his Majesty again visited
the Castle; and on Monday next it is expected that he
will commence residing there. His Majesty enjoys ex-
cellent health.—The King's stag-hounds will meet on
Monday at Salthill, and on Friday at Fulmer Common—
each day at half-past ten o'clock.

His Majesty will, in a few days, hold a grand
Council at Windsor Castle, we believe on Friday or Monday
the 15th instant, when we have the best reason to believe
that the.office of Lord Privy Seal will be filled, and the ad,
ministration of the Illustrious Premier be strengthened by
the addition of several experienced and popular personages,
amongst them that estimable Nobleman, Viscount Sid-
mouth.--Berkshire Chronicle.
General Stewart, the newly appointed Gover-
nor of St. Lucia, has left town for the purpose of pro-
ceeding to St. Lucia, to enter on the duties of his office.
The Ambassador from the Netherlands, Count
d'Ofalia, the Spanish Minister on a special mission, and
the French Charge d'Affaires, transacted businesa with the
Earl of Aberdeen yesterday, at the office of the Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs.

Viscount Beresford transacted business yes-
terday with Sir George Murray, at the Colonial-office,
Dowsing •street.

It is announced in the fashionable circles, that
the eldest son of Mr. Campion, of Danny Park, is about to
lead to the hymeneal altar Miss Kemp, the eldest daughter
of the Member ior Lewes.—Brighton Guardian.

The Duchess of Roxburgh and Major
O'Reilly will shortly remove from Brighton to Clay-cot-
tage, near Frogtuore, in order to be near the young Duke,
who is about to be placed at Eton for the purpose of pur-
suing his studies.—Brighlon Gazette.

The place of Warden and Admiral of the
Cinque Ports has b^corne vacant by the death of Lord Li-
verpool. The office is one of a lucrative nature, and has,
in general, been conferred on the Prime Minister for the
time being, whenever it has become vacant. It is, how-
ever, rumoured that this course will not be followed on the
present occasion, but that the office will be offered to the
Duke of Clarence.

Dr. Charles Bell, who has already con-
tributed one tract to the Library of Useful knowledge,
namely, that " On Animal Mechanics," has pledged him-
self to give another, and on a subject which, treated as it
will be by him, must prove highly interesting. It is on
the circulation of the Wool, explained, if we are not mis-
taken, with reference to mechanics, in the same manner as
the " Animal Mechanics." It is pleasant to see the
leaders in science condescending to enlighten and instruct
the mass of mankind, for it is thus that science, as it be-
comes popular, becomes also surpassingly useful and en-
during.—Nett Monthly Magazine.
Yesterday, the election of a Lord Rector for
the University of this City, took place, in consequence of
Sir Walter Scott declining to accept, when Mr. Thomas
Campbell was again chosen by a inJjority in three of the
nations, viz., in the Glottiana, Transforthiana, and Roth-
seyana ; in the Loudoniana there was a majority in favour
of Sir Michael Shaw Stewart. At ten o'clock the Students
met in the Common Hall, when a letter was read from Sir
Walter Scott, in which he returned thanks for the honour
they bad done hin► on a former occasion, in electing hint
to be their Rector, and stated that his refusal to accept the
office by no means flowed from indifference, but waLto he
attributed to his increasing infirmities, which had formerly
prevented him from accepting the same office in another
University.— Glasgow Chronicle of Thursday.

We regret to learn that the banking-house of
Corser and Co. of Whitchurch, Salop, suspended payment
on Friday, in consequence of the failure of Frys and Chap--
man, upon whom they drew, and in whose hands they are
said to have had a balance of upwards of 40,0001. Little
doubt is entertained but that the firm will eventually be
able to meet all claims upon it in full. Indeed, it is hoped.
that they will be speedily able to resume their business.—
Worcester Journal.

The guard of the Manchester and Sheffield
mail, on Sunday, while travelling between Manchester and
Ashton-under-line, lost the Ilowdonshaw letter bag. It
was picked up by an Irishman, and delivered over to the
Postmaster at Ashton, but not before he had broken the seal
of the bag, and examined the contents, for which offence
he is now in custody. On being asked why he-had cut the
string,—Pat said—" and sure I thought it had .been some
old woman's leather pocket, and I thought I would just see
what theriwas in it."—Sheffield Courant.

STRAND IMPROVEMENTS.---The pulling
down of the houses, preparatory to the commencement of
the improvements in the spring, goes on with great ra-
pidity. The whole of the houses in St Martin's Church-
yard, Moor's-yar.l, Church-lane, Chandos-street, and 'se-
veral houses in Vine-street, are completely razed to the
ground, and open a wide space for the admirers of archi-
tecture to view that beautifully-constructed church, St.
Martin's. The improvements in Covent-garden-market
are carried on with great activity ; the north wing is built
np as high as it is intended—one story. There are two
stone pillars facing James-street, over which will be formed
an arch ; and it is expected that the whole will be com-
pleted in twelve months. The exterior and interior of St.
Paul's, Covent-garden, are undergoing repair.

There is now in the possession of a person
residing about three miles from Whitehaven a large green
parrot, of the Spanish Main species, which, on every fine
day, leaves his cage.and makes a tour round the country.
On the approach of evening he returns home; though oc-
casionally he appears about the dinner season, after which
he again takes flight. In particularly fine warm weather
he sometimes remains out all night, but comes home to
breakfast. He talks English, and is quite an adept at the
Spanish lingo ; imitates laughing' or crying to the very
life, and has numerous other amusing qualifications,—.
