FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

BRIGHTON, JA N. 28.-.--We have the superlative pleasure to ob-
serve, that the KING continues to enjoy uninterrupted health.
Divine Service this day, in the presence of his MAJzsxr, the
Duchess of Gloucester, and Royal Suite, was performed at the
Palace by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese and the Right Rev. the
Dean of Sarum.

Yesterday the Duchess of Glonceeter, attended by the Lady
Isabella Thynne, again crossed the Steyne to the Marine Parade,
between one and two o'clock in the afternoon, and returned to the
Palace after an absence of about an hour.
The Countess of Bathurst had the honour of an audience of her
Royal Highness yesterdy morning.
Earl Bathurst returned to his amiable family, at their Steyne
residence, on Friday evening. The same evening, the Lord Lieu-
tenant of this County, returned to East Lodge, and both Noble-
men left their names at the Palace yesterday.

Among very many other signatures, those of the following dis-
tinguished personages were included in the Palace Hall Book this
morning:—

Lady and Miss Calthorpe, Colonel Downman, Major Cator.
Major Barrington, Lieut.-Colonel Leake, and Glenearry, the
Chief of Clanronald and Clandonald.

Col. Thornton joined the Royal suite at the Palace on Frida:
—there has been no arrival since.

The Duke of Dorset paid a visit to Lord George Seymour, at
his King's-road residence yesterday.
The weather has undergone a partial change to-day, with all
the wet and dirty effects of a thaw; of necessity, therefore, our
Elegantes have been principally confined to their respective
mansions.

Mr. Secretary Peel returned to London last Friday.

Yesterday was the Anniversary of the Accession of
his Majesty King George the Fourth; but owing to the recent
loss which the King and the nation have kad to deplore, the
monstrations of joy usually evinced on the occasion were dis-
pensed with. The bells in the various churches in'the metro-
polis remained silent, and only one or two of the numerous flags
which heretofore used to be displayed, were raised. His Ma-
jesty succeeded to the throne in 1819. The Tower guns were
fired at one o'clock.
Yesterday afternoon, soon after two o'clock, the
Duke of Wellington went to the Commander-in-Chief's Office in
the Horse Guards, for the first time since his appointment. His
Grace was received by Sir Herbert Taylor, the Military Secretary,
who still continues in his office. The Noble Duke transacted
military business for about two hours.
Yesterday afternoon, the Attorney and Solicitor
Generals attended at the Secretary of State's Office for the Home
Department, and transacted official business for a considerable time.
DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF OXFORD.—On Sa-
turday night last died, at his Lodge, All Souls College, after a
long illness, the Hon. and Right Reverend Edward Legge, Lord
Bishop of Oxford, and Warden of All Souls College, in that Uni-
versity. His Lordship was first of Christ Church, whence he
was elected Fellow of All Souls. In 1815, on the death of Dr.
Jackson, be was promoted to the See of Oxford, anti in 1817,
succeeded Dr. Ishain as 'Warden of All Souls. His Lordship
took the degree of B.C.L. in 1791, and ofD.C.L. in 1805. He
was the seventh son of William, the second Earl of Dartmouth,
and was born in December, 1767.

Dr. Fellowes, so conspicuous during the Queeti'f,
trial, and who has since acquired a more valuable notoriety, by
succeeding to tha fortune of the late Baron Maseres, is said to have
presented as much ground in the Regent's Park to the London
University as the Council may deem requisite for a complete
botanic-garden. Rut the inventor of this news has omitted to
state how the Doctor came into possession of the land in question.

A meeting took place in the county of Cork, on
Thursday last, between Henry Harding, Esq. of Derawlin, and
Miles Jackson Mason, Esq. of Glenhrook, county Limerick, when
Mr. Mason received Mr. Harding's fire, discharged his pistol in
the air, and the matter terminated.

The residence of Lewis Doxat, Esq. at Woodford,
was robbed on the 25th inst., and plate to the amount of upwards
of 801. stolen.

Streatham (Acre Lane), Wandsworth, and South

books, black cloth, and other articles carried away—one person
is in custody on suspicion.

land-place, was broken into and robbed of some valuable property,

Mr. Elliston had a very narrow escape a few
days ago from being burned alive. He had just entered new
lodgings near the Strand, and was suddenly awakened by an
alarm that the house was on fire. He sprang up, opened his door
which led down a narrow staircase, and was nearly suffocated
by the burst of thick smoke, through which l►e discovered a
broad sheet of flame. With great diff►culty he made his way to
the centre of the danger ; but by presence of mind, and persist-
ing in not setting open the doors, the lodgers below, in whose
apartment the tire began, got it under, but not before the bed
clothes and bed and window curtains were consumed, and a
child who had been asleep in a crib slightly burned.—The
Opera Glass.

We are happy to state that the gaol doors of our
City Prison have been thrown open for some days past, there being
no inmate. May they long continue so !.,--Kent Herald.
ANECDOTE.—A party, at which the highest judi-
cial character in the country was present, commenting upon the
varied circumstances attending Captain Parry's late voyage to the
North Pole, the conversation turned upon the quality of the flesh
of the seal, as to its fitness for the food of man, when the general
sentiment of the company appeared to be decisive as to its un
fitness for such purpose ; upon which the venerable and respected
individual alluded to facetiously remarked, "that for his part he
considered the seals to he particularly good, provided they were
kept long enough."

AN ECCENT R Ic.—Seven physicians and a surgeon,
a year or two ago, were sent by a wag to a gentleman in rude
health, and an undertaker, who arrived to take directions, was
met by the effected deceased in the hall, and desired to walk into
the library. The man, although astonished, obeyed. " You see
that old chest," said the old General, for he was a General Officer.
" Sir, I do." " Well, measure it." The undertaker obeyed.
" Can you make my coffin of that?" " I can, sir."' "-Then
send for it, and proceed with it without delay." The coffin was
made, and placed in the library bookcase, where it remained till
the demise of its owner, who has recently been deposited in it.

for e
year, it is perfectly true that I incur an expense in so doing; but
at the end of the year, the production, which is the result of his
ploughing and sowing, repays back to me the expense I incurred
in his maintenance ; and it not only repays it, but repays it with
an excess ; and I am enabled in the next year to employ more ser-
vants, in consequence of the production of that individual servant.
But if I feed and clothe a man to fiddle to me, it is very true that
I have the advantage and pleasure of his fiddling during the year,
but at the end of it nothing remains but the recollection of the
tunes; and, though I may have indulged in the luxury, I am not
the richer for my expenditure."

TILE GAMEKEEPER OUTWITTED.--TWO young
men were lately in company with a gamekeeper, at the Crewe's
Arms, Madeley, in this County, and the conversation turning
upon the subject of game, the keeper heard with intense interest
their declaration, that " they could put up three brace of wood-
cocks in the course of an hour." With a view to an " informa-
tion," as was naturally supposed, the keeper laid a wager of a
pound against the chance; and was not a little mortified and cha-
grined when, within the appointed time, was produced before him,
a man, his wife, and four children,
who lived at Onneley, of the
name of Woodcock ! The gamekeeper's money wail lost, and his
zeal somewhat cooled.—Staffordshire Advertiser.
