WINDSOR, JUNK 21.—Yesterday, on his
:VTAJESTY and the Queen of WURTIMBIRG entering tee
Castle, they were met by Mr. WYATYILLE, who had,
previous to their arrival, dismissed all the men from their
work. Their Mita usztes first took a survey of the exte-
rior of the south and east wings, when they entered the
quadrangle, which they drove round, and up to the grand
entrance of his Majesty's suit of apartments, where they
alighted. The KING led her MAJESTY through the entire
range of the south and east wings, pointing out the vari-
ous improvements made, with which her MAJESTY was
pleasingly surprised. After n minute inspection of the
i.hole of the new works, their MA:results proceeded to
:he State apartments, where the Qualm found little or no
Iteration, and on which she gazed with a mixed degree of
.-egret and delight. At half-past five o'clock they left the
.:;astle, and retired by the same route to Frogmore Lodge,
here the KING took leave, and returned to the 'loyal Lodge.

The Brighton Gazette of the 20th says
" The Herald sloop of war came into oar roads on Monday
night, and on the following morning Mr. LustmesTow,
who hAd been residing at 78, Marine Parade, embarked
in her to take his passage for Madras, to the Government of
which Presideacy he has been lately appointed. Owing to
ill health, Mrs. Luattnrcrox is prevented from going out.'

The Surrey Yeomanry Cavalry will march
into Quarters at Croydon on the 27th instant, and remain
there the usual period of permanent duty. Lieut.-Col.
Sir Wm. Geo. Hylton Jolliffe, Baronet, their Commander,
having, with the approbation of the King, issued orders
for that purpose.
The Queen of Wurtemberg is by no means so
fat as has been represented, although a very singular mistake
was made on this subject by her Royal brother, the Duke
of Clarencr. When his Royal Highness saw the chair
Which had been made at Greenwich, for the purpose of
lowering her Majesty from the yacht on her arrival, he told
Sir William Iloste that it was too small, and gave directions
that another should be made, two feet eight inches wide.
Sir William stared, but the Royal Duke's orders were of
course obeyed ; and in this chair accordingly the Queen was
placed. It may be imagined what was her Majesty's sur-
prise—she laughed heartily, not at the mode of lowering
her, as the papers have stated, but at the sue of the chair,
and the ludicrous mistake which had been made. The
disembarkation of the Queen was effected with admirable
facility and dispatch, a small carriage being placed on the
temporary platform erected for the purpose,--in which her
Majesty, with a midshipman standing uncovered at each
side, was wheeled at once to her carriage. The effect was
very striking.—Brighton Paper.

DEATH OF JOHN DUNN HUNTER.—(From
a New York Papsr.)—The Natchitoches Courier gives
an account of the death of this individual, rendered con-
spicuous as the author of " Hunter's Narrative," pub-
lished a few years ago in England. His book has been the
theme of abundant criticism, both in newspapers and peri-
odicals. He has been pronounced en impostor, and the
charge appears to have been well supported, although the
Natchitoches paper is incredulous on that point. It ap-
pears, by the account, that Hunter was concerned in, if not
the prime mover of, the late unfortunate attempt to revolu-
tionize Texas. After some of the revolutionists had seceded
from the attempt, or had been " *educed from their faith,"
and endeavouring in vain to rouse the Indians to join in
the revolt, Hunter set out for Nacogdoches to share the fate
of hie American friends there, accompanied by two Indians.
He stopped at a creek to let his horse drink, and while
thus unguarded in his security, one of his savage com-
panions shot him with a rifle. He had just previously to
the revolution, been to the city of Mexico, to procure a
grant of lands in Texas. The Government promised to
comply with his request, but on his return the promise
was not complied with, which appears to have been the
chief cause of the revolt. The Editor of the Courier says
that Hunter was ignorant that he had been pronounced an
impostor.

During a heavy shower, yesterday, the Bar-
risters in the Vice-Chancellor's Court were very much in-
convenienced by the rain, which beat in rather too plenti-
fully through the windows in the roof of the Court. The
VICE-CstaNcm.oa strongly recommended the gentlemen
to send to Mr. SOANE for umbrellas; " for if I mistake
not," sail his Honour, " it is to him we are indebted for
the construction of these Courts."

A RUM SUBJECT.—There is a man at pre-
sent, a resident at Blyth, who has consumed from six to ten
glasses of rum per day for upwards of E 6 years, without
having experienced any ill effects from it. If we take seven
glasses as an average for each day, the number for 36 years
will be 91,999 glasses, or upwards of thirteen pnneheons
of rum

COACH ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning
last, as the mail coach from Exeter to Plymouth was cros-
sing Dart-bridge, about three miles from Ashburton, the
leaders took fright at a heap of stones, which had been laid
down for repairing the road, and suddenly crossed to the
opposite side, in consequence of which, the coach received
so great a jerk; that the driver was thrown from the box,
and fell amongst the horses. A man, the only outside pas-
senger, was also thrown off, but he received no other injury
than a few slight bruises. The coachman, was, however,
not so fortunate, for the wheels passed over his body from
the groin to the shoulder,and bruised him severely,but without
breaking any bones. The guard at the moment of the accident
got down to assist the coachman, who was, after a few
minutes, enabled to rise and follow the coach. In the mean
tome the horses proceeded at a rapid pace, and in going thro'
Buckfastleigh, they passed 63 close to the houses that the
lamp and the handle of the door were torn cli; and the
splinter bar, and one of the traces were broken. Upon this
a gentleman, who was the only inside passenger, became
alarmed, and looked out to ascertain what was the matter.
Seeing that the coachman was not on the box, he got out o:
the coach, and having succeeded in reaching the ground
safely, he laid hold of the reins and stopped the horses.
without any further mischief being done. On reaching
Buckfastleigh the coachman was put to bed, and medical
aid being procured, the necessary remedies were applied.
and we have much satisfaction in adding, that it is expect-
ed he will he able to resume his duties in a few days. I-lis
escape was indeed miraculous. We understand that he is
a steady driver, and that no blame can attach to him on
this occasion. The splinter-bar and trace having been re-
placed the guard drove the coach to Plymouth,—.P/yniositi,
