WINDSOR, SEPT. 24.—This forenoon his MA-
JESTY, with his household attendants, heard Divine
Service at the new Chapel Royal. The Rev. the
Dean of Salisbury officiated. •
This forenoon her Royal Highness the Princess
Augusta, attended by her Lady in Waiting, heard
Divine Service at the parish church.
Yesterday afternoon, the following illustrious and
distinguished personages arrived at the Royal Lodge:
—lbw Royal Highnesess the Duke and Duchess of
Gloucester, Princess Sophia Matilda of Gloucester,
and Princess Augusta ; .Prince Esterhazy, the Duke
of Dorset, the Duke of Wellington, Count and Coun-
tess Lieven, Lord and Lady Miiryborough, and Mr.
and Mrs. Fremantle ; the whole of whom had the
honour of dining and passing the evening with his
MAJESTY.

After his MAJESTY retired, their Royal High-
nesses the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Princess
Sophia of Gloucester, left the Royal Lodge for Bag-
shot Lodge ; her Royal Highness the Princess
Augusta for Frogmore Lodge ; Lord and Lady Mary-
borough for their seat, Fern Hill ; and Mr. and Mrs.

The hoard in front of the range of the new buildings
for the Council and Treasury Offices was removed on
Friday, and the pavement opened to the public. The
walls in front of the building, which is completely faced
with stone, are ornamented with 16 lofty Corinthian
columns ; a column being placed between each window.
The stone capitals of these columns are executed in a
very superior manner, as well as the different mould-
ings of 'the highly-enriched entablature which they
support ; there is a balustrade above the entablature.
The six Corinthian columns in front of the new Coun-
cil-office project a short distance from the building,
corresponding to the side of the Council-office, in
Downing-street, which has also six projecting columns.
A stout stone balustrade, a little in advance of the
building, has been erected on the pavement.
Lo RD MA NNERS.—The Correspondent announces,
on " the very best authority, having seen a letter from
his Lordship to that effect, that Lord Manners will
shortly retire from the Chancellorship of Ireland."
This event has been long expected. Lord Manners
has held the seals since the retirement of Mr. Ponsonby,
on the death of Mr. Fox, and the dissolution of the
Whig Administration—a period of twenty years, which,
it is understood, entitles him to
.the continuation of
the full salary of his high office ; and having established
his right in this respect, he has but little inducement
to remain in Ireland ; which indeed, he appears to
have regarded all along as a place of temporary sojourn-
meat merely. We understand he lately purchased a
seat and estate, with all the furniture, stock, wines,
&c., in Somersetsbire, where he means to settle, on his
final return to England.—Freeman's Journal.
On Thursday two valuable gold and silver watches
were stolen from the parlour of Mr. Ward, No. 18,
Lamb's Conduit-passage, during the absence from the
room, of Mrs. W. who, on her return, found the
street door open, though it was fastened a few Minutes
before, and the articles gone.
We have heard that the duty on printed cotton
goods will be repealed at an early period after the
meeting of Parliament.—G/asgoto Courier.
