FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

BRIGHTON, FEB. 5.—A Cabinet Council will be
held at the Pavilion this day, the first which has taken
place since His MAJESTY'S arrival. The only
Mi-
nister in the town at this moment is Mr. Canning.
The Duke of Wellington and Lard Bathurst are ex-
pected hourly.
After the Council the Ministers present will dine
with His MAJESTY, and orders have been issued to
light up the grand banquet-room with gas for the oc-
casion. The fine suite of apartments which compose
the range of the Pavilion have not been fully lighted
since His MAJESTY'S arrival, there having been no
company, until now, with the exception of the members
who compose the Royal suite.
In addition to the Princess Augusta, the Duke of
Clarence is expected shortly at the Pavilion on a visit
to his Royal brother. The Princess will very pro-
bably arrive this day, but it is not certain.
The King's pony-chaise has arrived, which warrants
the inference that it is His MAJESTY'S intention to
make a protracted stay at Brighton, and to take ex-
ercise out of doors, as at Windsor. The Windsorites,
by the bye, expect His MAJESTY back there to-day ;
they will be deceived.
The KING appears to be in excellent health and
spirits; and enjoys every night the music of his band.
His MAJESTY on these occasions walks to and fro,
conversing freely in his usual courteous manner with
the guests.
Lord Lake and family left on Saturday, for town.

A supplement to Friday's Gazette was published
yesterday: it contains addresses from 25 different public bodies to
his MAJESTY, on the occasion of the death of the Duke of York.
The sum for which the stud of his late Royal
Highness the Duke of York sold at Tattersall's yesterday was
8,8001. This includes a few chaises and dogs. Two or three of
the horses were not sold.

Yesterday the despatches for Bengal and China, by
the ship Scaleby Castle, Captain David Ilac New-all, were closed
at the India House, and delivered to the Purser of that ship.
The decree of the Chancellor in the case of Mr.
Long Wellesley, has been followed by an alarming illness on the
part of that Gentleman, who is attended by Sir Henry Halford
and Dr. Arnold. Expresses have been sent to Lord and Lady
Maryborough, the parents of Mr. Wellesley.—Morning Paper.
DEATH OF THE COUNTESS DOWAGER OF SHAN-

trox.--We regret to state the death of this venerable Lady, which
took place at Castlemartyr, on Tuesday. She was one of the most
humane and charitable characters that ever adorned her station of
life, and the regret that is felt in the whole district which was the
scene of her benevolence, attests the esteem and veneration with
which she was regarded. The Countess was the eldest daughter
of the Right Hon. John Ponsonby, Speaker of the Irish House
of Commons:—Cork Southern Reporter.

A short time previous to the commencement of the
lamented Duke of York's fatal illness, his Royal Highness was
met by three young Ladies as he was walking into St. James's
Park by the entrance of the Stable-yard ; they presented a letter
to him, which he received with his usual affability. His Royal
Highness opened the letter and read it, and after asking them a
few questions, he desired them to call on him the following day at
the Horse Guards. The young Ladies were daughters of an
officer who had been killed in battle, and consequently enjoyed
small pensions, but which were to cease on their marriage. One
of them was about to be married, and the application' was for her
pension to be transferred to her sisters, which the Royal Duke
very kindly consented to, and promptly settled it when they 'Ailed
on him the following day.

MR. WILLIAM CLARK.—We are authorised to
state, that in consequence of the observations made by Mr. William
Clark, at the late Meeting of the Welch Iron and Coal Company,
reflecting on the character of Mr. Jones, that gentleman arrived in
town yesterday morning, and proceeded to call upon Mr. Clark
to demand a .contradiction of the untruths he had uttered upon
that occasion. The interview took place in a room adjoining the
Board Room, where the Directors were sitting, and they being
alarmed by the piercing cries of Mr. Clark, rushed inn body to
his rescue, when the horsewhip was wrested from Mr. Jones, and
Mr. Clark relieved from his distressing situation.—Morning
Paper.

On Lord Ellenborough being appointed Chief
Justice of the King's Bench, a Barrister observed to the late Mr.
Mingay, the King's Counsel, that he thought Ellenborough would
make a good judge if he kept his temper. " Oh," replied Min-
gay, " make my compliments to him, and tell him to get rid of
his temper as soon as possible."

The Lord Chancellor's attention to minute accu-
racy was never more strikingly displayed than in the recent in-
stance of his returning 'thanks to Mr. Shadwell, for correcting
him in the mis-statement of, one of Mr. Wellesley's favourite ex-
pressions to his children. His Lordship, in the course of his
observations, en giving judgment in the long pending Wellesley
cause, on Thursday last, remarked that Mr. Pitman, in his affi-
davit, had stated that Mr. Wellesley was in the constant habit of
swearing and using improper expressions in the presence of his
children. Of this there appeared some specimens in his letter to
his son William. " After study, play Hell and Jemmy." Mr.
Shadwell-" Hell and Tommy, my. Lord." The Lord Chancellor
—" Hell and Tommy! so it is; you are right, Mr. Shadwell :
I thank you."

SIMILITUDES.—Lord Chancellor Hardwick was
very fond of entertaining his visitors with the following story of
his bailiff, who, having been ordered by his lady to procure a sow
of a particular description, came one day into the dining-room
when full of company, proclaiming with a burst of joy he could
not suppress, I have been at Royston fair, my lady, and I have
got a sow exactly of your ladyship's size."

A WIND THAT DESERVED PITY.--A gentleman
who lived under the suspicion of having a bad breath, was met by
the blunt Lord Thurlow, in Pall-mall, who seeing him booted and
spurred, asked him where he had been. " I have been taking
the air this morning, said be, " which was rather disagreeable
too, as I had a - north wind full in my face all the time."
" Come, come," said his Lordship, " don't you complain; for by
-, the north wind had the worst of it."

LAWYER'S DECLARATION.
Fee simple, and a simple fee,
And all the fees in tail,
Are nothing when compared to thee,
Thou beet of fees—fe-male.—Literary Chron.

" Aly dear brethren," said a pastor lately from his
pulpit, " never put yourselves into the liability of losing your
reason ! Reason is a bridle which has been given to us to direct
our passions." On the same day the pastor got drunk. One of
his parishioners asked what he had done with his bridle?—
" Good faith," says he, " I have taken it off to drink."—.Dublin
Morning Register.

A Sussex play-bill of Monday week contains the
following frightful and foolish puff. We give it verbatim
" The last scene draws and discovers the place of execution. The
scaffold and fatal tree on which Barnwell and Milwood are to
suffer, with the awful paraphernalia for so solemn a scene; when,
after the usual time spent in preparation, the unhappy victims
are launched into eternity !"

CONSCIOUSNESS—RUSTIC PRIDE.---On Satur-
day afternoon, a gentleman walking along the Stretford-road,
was highly amused at seeing a country lad attired in a new top
coat. The lad looked first at his coat, and then around him, to
enjoy the admiration which he, no doubt, thought he excited.
The gentleman crept softly behind him, and in a low whisper
said, " How much did it cost ?" " Ten shillings," answered he.
" Cheap enough," said the gentleman.—.7lfanchester Herald.

A PROFITABLE WIFE.—We are informed that

there is a farmer, in the town of B—, in Hampden county, who
keeps twenty-four cows, and makes great quantities of butter and
cheese, with no help in the dairy but his wife. He has no chil-
dren, and hires no labourer, except in the time of hay-making ;
during the busy season, his wife brings the twenty-four cows from
the pasture, milks them all herself, makes the cheese, takes care of
one or two tons of cheese on the shelves, and does the cooking,
washing, and other work of the family.—Hampden Gazette.

A dramatic corps last week exhibited at Aston
Clinton, Bucks—admission to the boxes 10d., pit Sd., and gal-
lery 6d.—the music a tabor and pipe, whose jocund sound set the
audience a capering, the Johnny Razes feeling more amusement in
their own vagaries than in the Silvester Dayyerwood exhibition.
