FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR, JULY 12.—This afternoon abciut two
o'clock, the KING left his Royal Lodge in Windsor
Park, attended by his suite in two carriages and four,
With a number of outriders, and escorted by a detach-
ment of the Royal Horse uards. The Lord Steward
of the Household rode in the first carriage with the
KING.—The Lord in Waiting and Sir Andrew Bar-
nard, Groom in Waiting, followed in the second car-
riage. The Royal cavalcade proceeded through the
Long Walk and the town of Windsor, where great
numbers were assembled, and through the Gate by St.
George's Chapel to a private entrance to the Castle,
the carriages not being able to approach to the Grand
entrance, in consequence of the preparations making
there for erecting a large Portico.
His MAJESTY arrived about half-past two o'clock,
and immediately proceeded to hold a Privy Council,
which was attended by—
The First Lord of the Treasury, the Lord Privy
Seal, the Secretary of State for the Colonial Depart-
ment, the President of the Board of Controul, the
Treasurer of the Household, the Judge Advocate.
His MAJESTY gave audiences to the Earl of
Liverpool, Earl Bathurst, and Mr. Wynn.
Earl Bathurst officiated in the absence of the Earl
of Harrowby, as Lord President of the Council.
Mr. Buller attended as Clerk of the Council.

The Council broke up about half-past three o'clock.
The Earl of Liverpool arrived at Windsor from
Coombe Wood. Mr. Wynn came from the seat of
Lord Grenville at Dropmore.
After the breaking up of the Council, the Ministers,
&c. who had attended it partook of the dejeune
which had been prepared and sent from the Royal
Lodge.

We are happy to say, the Duke of York continued
to go on well yesterday.—Sir Herbert Taylor did not
transact military business with his Royal Highness,
on account of Sir Herbert having appointed to hold a
Levee at the Horse Guards.—lt is expected his Royal
Highness will shortly leave Mr. Greenwood's Villa,
at Brompton, and proceed on a visit to the Duke of
Rutland at Belvoir
We learn that the profitable office of King's Printer
in Scotland has been conferred on Sir Walter Scott.
Of the great increase of Parliamentary business in
the House of Commons, an idea may be formed from
the evidence of Mr. Mitchell, of the Vote Office. In
his examination before the Select Committee on Com-
mittee Rooms an& printed Papers, he states that
4, there has been such an increase in the printed votes
and proceedings of the House of Commons as to
render of late years a tenfold greater space necessary
than was required in the years past ; and that, from
the greater anxiety with respect to Parliamentary busi-
ness, the demand and press upon the office, m the
discharge of its duties, is a hundred-fold greater than
formerly."
A gentleman who came passenger in the latest ar-
rival from the United States, states that he was in
Peru on the 20th of March. Bolivar was expected to
leave Lima for the Upper Country after the opening
of the Congress. We apprehend, however, that if this
had been his intention, the urgent request from Co-
lombia for ,his presence must have changed it. At
Panama, all the Deputies from the new States had ar-
rived, with the exception of the Mexican. The busi-
ness of the Congress was expected immediately to
commence.--. Times.

APPLEBY, JUNE 27.—1 t is a curious fact, that at
this busy time, when wine is carried about in pails,
and when gin is flowing in rivers, in the county of
Westmorland, an elector absolutely died of drinking
water. I came to the knowledge of this most extraor-
dinary fact in the history of elections, in consequence
of a report having-reached me that a blue voter had
died of his wounds he had received in the scuffle of
Saturday last. I found upon inquiry, that a blue
voter, upwards of 70 years old, had died ; but that
the cause of his death had been entirely misrepresented.
He had walked from his home into Appleby, a dis-
tance of 30 • miles, for the purpose of giving Mr.
Brougham a plumper, and had taken a glass of cold
water to relieve his thirst, whilst he was m a state of
great fever and exhaustion. The consequence was,
that the sudden cold had struck to his heart, and that
the poor man had shortly afterwards died. The only
epicedurn which I have heard bestowed upon his
memory was very short, but at the, mine time very
pithy. It was uttered by one of the crowd—"
the fellow, why did he not poll before he died ?"
