FASHIONABLE JNTELLIIENCE.

WINDSOR, JUNE 7.—Yesterday the Duke of Wel-
lington and. Lord Clanwilliam arrived at the Royal
Lodge, early enough to attend his Majesty to the
race-course. On his Majesty leaving the Heath, he
returned by Virginia Water, Chapel NVood, and the
new plantattons, to the Royal Lodge. At half-past
AeVen o'clook, a most sumptuous dinner was served up
in the ptineipal dining-room, when his Majesty ho-
noured, his distinguished 'visitors and, attendants with
,•
his company to dinner.
Yesterday after the races, the following sporting
Noblemen and Gentlemen had the honour of dining
with hi's Royal Highness the Duke of York, at Frog-
more ,Dukes of Richmond and Grafton, Mar-
quis of Tavistoek, Marquis of Exeter, Earl of Jersey,
Earl of Sefton, Lord Alvanley, Lord Orford, Lord
Fitzroy, Earl of Verulam, Lord, George Caven-
dish, Henry
-Mr. Prendergast, Mr. Page, Mr. Greville, Mr.
S. Wortley, Colonel Udney, Mr. De Roos, Colonel
Russell, Mr. Irby, Mr. Vansittart, Mr. Pierpoint, Mr.
Leigh, and Mr. Thornhill.
The Election for the City of ,London will commence
to-Morrow, at Guiddhecil; the City of Westminster, on
the same day, in Covent-garden ; the County of Sur-
rey, on Tuesday, the 13th at Guildford ; and the
County of Mitidlesex, on Tuesday, the 20th, at
13rentford.

The following plain question admits, we should
suppose, of an easy answer :—lf the General was able
to run at Ascot, what was there- to prevent his running
at Epsom ?

At a sale in London lately, a mere scrap of paper,
containing a few lines in the'. hand-writing of I)r.
,Tohnson, was sold for two guineas.--Ldinburgh
Observer.

LEADING ARTICLES.—A friend of ours met at
Southend a well-known Baronet, who is an odd
corn ound of talent and want of common sense.
He had just before published a pamphlet, and the
conversation turning on the literary productions
of the Hon. Baronet, he observed, that he had
formerly been in the habit of writing for the daily
papers ; but said he, in a confidential tone, « No for-
tune could stand the expense of it. You.will hardly
believe me, Sir, but I assure you, upon my.honour,
that the Ch r mil de charged me 16 guineas for inserting
the best article I ever wrote." It is even said that the
Hon. 'Baronet has paid as high as forty guineas ,for
the insertion of some articles. This certainly accounts
for some " choice" ones which we have seen in that. Paper.
We apprehend that some other Journals, if we may,
judge by their long heeling articles, must have had
their share of this Golden Fleece.

CURIOUS SCRIIMRS.---DimmEr.—There is now
no bope of pardon for the unhappy Balfour ; and pre-
parations are making for the melancholy scene, which
will close his days in this world. The finisher of the
law has arrived, and will be at his post on Friday.
The old gibbet, from its long disuse, is in very bad
condition, and orders have been given for having it
repaired, but we understand that it is doubtful whether
it may be got ready by the time appointed, as all the
contractor's workmen, from slipeistmous feelings, refuse
to work at it ; even his apprentices have run, away,
willing to pay the penalty m their indentures, rather
than assist at a work so hateful to them.

The following is a list of the first classes at the

bridge : ,
