FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR, AUG. 6.—This afternoon the KING,
attended by the. Lord Steward, took' an airing in his
phaeton, from the Royal Lodge, and proceeded to the
Castle, to observe the progress of the works. Mr.
Wyatville, the architect, was in waiting to receive his
MAJESTY, who arrived about four o'clock ; and after
inspecting the different parts of the building, left the
Castle about five o'clock, on his return to the Lodge.
Numbers of spectators were assembled to see the
KING.

His MAJEsTY and suite attended Divine Service
this morning, at the Royal Lodge, which was per.
formed by the Dean of Salisbury.
The Princess Augusta and suite attended Divine Ser-
vice this morning, at the parish church; and this being the
first Sunday in the mouth, the Mayor and Corporation
attended in their full robes. The Rev. Mr. Mealy,
Curate of this parish, preached an excellent sermon
from the 15th chap. of the First of Corinthians, and
the 22d verse.

The Royal- Horse Guards marched from their bar-
racks to the square in front of the, Root Barracks,
where Divine Service was performed to both regi-
ments. The two Bands attended on the Terrace in
the afternoon, which was thronged with-fashionahles.
The Royal Horse Guards had a grand field day on
Friday, at Egham Common.-

The Duke-of York took his daily drive on Satur-
day, in his cabriolet, from Mr. Greenwood's villa at
Brompton, down the Green Park, through St. James's
Park, where his Royal Highness stopt a short time,
and inspected the mew building for his future resi-
dence, fire.—Mr. P. M'Gregor atonded the Rpyal
Duke on Saturday morning.—Sir Herbert Taylor
transacted military business with his Royal Highness
in the course of the day.
Count Lieven, the Russian Ambassador, transact-
ed business, yesterday, with Mr. Secretary Canning,
at his office, in Downing-street.
It is rumoured in the higher circles, that the Order
of the Garter, vacant by the death of Lord Winchel-
sea, is to be given to the Duke of Devonshire, on his
return from Moscow. .
A great personage is extremely anxious that, man-
sions of the very first class shall be erected either on
the site of Carlton Palace, or the gardens and ground
contiguous to it. The Duke of Athc-.l is at present
the only Nobleman who stands pledged to build a
house there.

The interior of Carlton Palace is nearly dismantled.
of its gorgeous- furniture. The fine collection of armour
and other valuables is deposited in the Riding SChool
at Buckingham House, which has been fitted up and
appropriated for the purpose, until the new Palace is
ready to receive them.
The massive folding, and other - doors, in the in-
terior of Carlton Palace, are to be sold by auction, we
suspect, by Mr. G. H. Robing, ►order the direction of
Mr. Nash.

Sir Herbert Taylor will shortly retire from his offi-
cial situation, as Military Secretary to the Duke of
York, upon a pension, which, together with the profits
arising from his regiment, and the fortune he has
amassed during his very long continuance as Secretary
to the late King, and subsequently to the Duke of
York, will enable him to live in splendid retirement:
for the remainder of his .days. Few men have enjoyed
a larger share of popularity whilst in office than Sir
Herbert Taylor.
Mn. WA I: itFR.I.D's TRIAL—The briefs .for the
prosecution are of an enormous size, oceupying more
4:ia/0400.-slieetit. Very high fees, are given with the
Counsel ,both sides. The Attorney-General is to
have 6O guineas, and Sergeant Cross, and his other
legal coadjutors about 100. guineas each ; Mr. Scar-
lett 200 guineas; and Mr. Tindal and his subs, from
WY to 80 guineas each, There are at least seventy
witnesses subpoenaed, pro and con,—Morn.,
Letters have been received from Mr. Price, the
new Lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, by his trusty
treasurer, Mr. Dunn, dated five days after the former
had sailed from LiVerpool, from which it appears, that,
owing to adverse winds, there is little chance of ' his
return to England in sixty days from the time of his
departure, which the enterprising Manager confidently I
calculated upon.
Madame Vestris it engaged at Covent Garden
Theatre for the ensui»g.season. Liberal offers' were
made to the lady. by Mr. Price, which she rejected.
One of the early revivals, next season, at Covent
Garden Theatre, will be Shakespear&S Othello, in
which Young will perform the Moor; Ward, ./aio ;,
and Charles Kemble, Cassio, which the late Mr.
Kemble always considered one of the most perfect
personations on the English stage.
Clara Fisher is preparing an entertainment for the
ensuing season, which is to consist of Imitation, Reci-
tation, and Song, upon a plan similar to those exhibi-
tions which kir several years have been so popular.
The mimic powers of this clever little artist are reported
to be extraordinary.

Mr. Braham and Miss Stephens take the lead in
Opera at Drury-lane next season. Liston has been
applied to by the Managers of both Theatres—we
have not heard whether he is yet engaged at either.
We suspect, however, that Covent Garden Theatre is
likely to be the scene of his winter campaign.
(From the Examiner.)---A gallant officer, coming
north of the Tweed, in passing through Windsor Park, a
few Jays-back, in his carriage, chanced to cross the
path in which his Majesty, driven by the Marchioness
of Conyngham, was ruling in his pony phaeton. The
phaeton being on the wrong side, and not moving quite
so quick as the North Briton desired, he immediately
exclaimed, " Why dinna ye get out o' the way, old
man 'r"—an address so unusual, that his Majesty burst
into a fit of laughter; and Sandy, shortly alter seeing
his Majesty's suite coming up, began to suspect he
had been guilty of a breach of Scotch prudence, and
drove off at a quick rate to hide his blushes and his
mortifications.
