The King and Queen visited the Princess Sophia on Thursday
evening, at Ler residence in the King's palace at Kensington.
His Majesty paid a visit yesterday morning to the Iluke of Sus-
sex, at the King's palace at Kensington, and partook of breakfast
with his Royal Highness. The King went over different parts
of the palace, and also inspected the grounds attached to it.
Their Majesties went together to the residence of Sir Herbert
and Lady Taylor, in the Regent's Park. Sir Herbert. as Go-
vernor of st. Katherine's College, conducted their Majesties to
the chapel, and also to the almshouses of the college. Their
Majesties afterwards partook of a dejeuxe at the house of the
Governor.

Count Munster had a lung audience of the King on his Majesty's
return to th, Palace at St. James's.
The King gave a grand dinner in the evening to the corporation
of the Trinity-house, of which his Majesty, at the time of his acces-
sion to the throne, was Master. The Cabinet Ministers, the great
Offices of State, and several public functionaries, were invited to
meet the corporation.
The Duke of Wellington, the Marquis Camden, and Viscount
Sidmouth, who arc members, appeared in the uniform of the cor-
poration. The other members also appeared in the uniform.
Among the party were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Buck.
inghtun, Marquis 'Winchester, Earls Cathcart, Fife, Roulyn, Er-
roll, Jersey ; Lords Farnborough, Ellenborough, Hill ; Right
Honourable's Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Murray, H. Goulbum,
and J. C. Retries; the Lord Mayor, Alderman Thompson, Sir F.
Watson, Hon. Townshend, the Governor and Deputy Gover-
nor of the Bank of England, Colonel Fitzelatence, and Captain
Woolmore, the Deputy Master of the Corporation.

The company were ushered into one of the state rooms. His Ma-
jesty, who was habited in the uniform of the Corporation, led the
way to the Banquetting.room, where the dinner was served.

A meeting of his Majesty's most hon. Privy Council was held at
the Court of Exchequer yesterday morning, for the purpose of trying
the Pix of the Mint. The Lords present were—the Lord Chan-
cellor, the Lord Privy Seal, the Master of the Mint, the Paymaster
of the Forces, the Sectetary of State for Ireland, the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, the President of the Board of Con-
trol. The Jury summoned to assay the specimens of the coinage
were all members of the Company of Goldsmiths, and were sworn
to make a true return of the result of the trial.

The Lord Chancellor then charged the jury, who retired, taking
with them the specimens of the coinage of gold and silver, which
have been deposited in the Piz since the last trial, which was made
about three years ago. The trial occupied the greater part of
the day.

The Members of the Committee for erecting the new London-
bridge had & conference yesterday morning with the Duke of Wel-
lington and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at the Treasury. Mr.
Ward and Mr. Alderman Wood were with the deputation.

The Prussian Minister had an interview with the Earl of Aber.
deen yesterday, at the Foreign.office.

The Times states that Government is acting with great promp-
titude in regard to the detention of English vessels off Terceira.
Orders have been sent for three frigates to sail immediately, one for
the Tagus, and two for Terceira.

Sir C. Flower, on Saturday last, made arrangements with the City
of London to lend them 250,0001. for 20 years, under 4 per cent.
per annum for the improvements, &e. at the new London-bridge.

During the Royal progress to the Tower on Tuesday, his Majesty ,
was observed,with his usual good humour and frankness of manner,
to point out to the notice of the Duke of Wellington the trl.coloured
flag which floated upon several French merchant vessels in the river.
The countenance of the Duke indicated chagrin and depression,
which he vainly endeavoured to conceal.
A Requisition is in the course of signature for calling a Public
Meeting of the Electors of Westminster, " to express the sentiments
of admiration and esteem which they entertain, in common with all
Englishmen, for the glorious devotion and heroism displayed by the
Citizens of Paris, in defence of their laws and liberties." It is
equally gratifying to learn, that Sir F. Burdett was foremost in rend-
ing to the Provisional Government of Paris succour to the widows
and orphans of those brave defenders of the laws and liberties of
their common country.
A Jury of the Piz was assembled yesterday morning in the Re.
ceipt of Fitchequer-office, Westminster-ball, for the purpose of ar-
ranging a new coinage, in consequence of the death of his late la-
mented Majesty. The Lord Chancellor presided, and after point-
ing out to the Jury the duties they had to perform, his Lordship
took a review of the hiatoty and state of the coin of the realm. The
Lord Chancellor then stated that the quantity of gold to be issued on
the present occasion, in the new coinage, was 6,000,0001. sterling,
and of silver coinage, 120,0001; and arrangements having been
made to receive the verdict of the Jury (who were sworn faithfully
to assay and report, &c.) the Court was dissolved.
Rotuma DE CHARENTON.—From the reports on this Institu.
don, it appears that the mouths during which the largest number
of lunatics are admitted are June, July, and August • the smallest
number of admissions take place in January, November, and May.
Most of the lunatics are between 30 and 35 years of age ; about
half of them are unmarried, and the greater number of them arc
females. The admission of married men or widowers is rather un-
frequent. The army furnishes a great number of lunatics ; and the
number of officers is far greater than that of privates. In male lu-
natics the derangement is mostly brought ou by domestic troubles
and reverses of fortune; in women, jealousy, disappointed love,
and religious excitement, are the most frequent causes. More
women recover than men ; and the period between the 25th and
35th year appears to be the most favourable with respect to the treat-
ment —Lancet.

DOVER, AUGUST 6.—Among the arrivals this day at Wright's
Hotel, from France, is the Archbishop of Rheims. who has suc-
ceeded in quitting that country ; but not without strong mani-
festation of hostile feeling when embarking. Notwithstanding the
late Revolution, the arrivals from the Continent have not exceeded
the usual number at this season. A strong proof that the English
have every where experienced the most respectful treatment.

DIEPPE. Audi. 4.—The Duchess de Berri was expected here
on Saturday last ; a part of her suite has already arrived, and a
house has been taken for her. I have this moment had some con-
versation with one of her attendants, and it is true that she remon-
strated with the King respecting the Ordinances. These were her
words Sire, I am a mother, and the interest of my son compels
me to say, that If you do not dismiss your Ministers, both you sal
my son will lose the throne."--" Madam," replied the King, " I
want no advice ; the Ordinances 1 have issued are immutable.
Woes your, (he added,) rair de la met NOW fern pout-etre du
bier."—meaning, that the sooner she departed for Dieppe the better.
She ii. still expected. 1 have no more time to write—the steam.
boat is about to depart.
We have already stated that the honour of Knight Food has been
conferred upon Mr. (now Sir James) South, of the Observatory,
Kensington. The desire to bestow this honour upon hint origi-
nated, it appears, with his late Majesty, who, upon hearing that
Mr. South meant to take his sp'endid collection of instruments
to France, made known his intention. His present Majesty di.
rected Mr. Peel to write to Mr. South, to inform him of his 31a.
jesty's intention to carry into effect the wishes of his late Royal
brother, and we understand that the Hon. Secretary also wrote
another letter to Mr. South, expressing his anxiety that the counts,
should bear some portion of the great expencea the latter had in.
cutred, in it:matting his scientific inquiries. Mr. Peel's letter re-
flects infinite credit upon his judgment, and taste foe science; and,
after mentioning to 31r. South his Majesty's gracious intention to
carry in•o effect the wish of his late brother, added the gratifying
intelligence that the sum of 3001. bad been placed at Sir James's
disposal. What is still more honourable and liberal is, that an
intimation was at the same time made to Sir James, that his accept.
ance of that sum would not in any way compromise his feelings of
independence.
WINDSOR (Friday.)—The King is hem the admiration and the.
idol of the people ; his familiar kindness and condescension endear
him to all : more especially to the inhabitants of this borough, for
whom he has been most liberal in his concessions, having given
them free access to the new eastern terrace on Saturdays and Sun.
days, and having ordered the home park, which has been closed foe
years, to he thrown open to the public, as well as the green drives
and rides in the great park, and in the vieinity of Virginia Water.
A meeting of the an potation and bergesres was this day held
at the Town Hall, for the purpose of voting an address of eon.
gratulatlos to their Majesties on their arrival at the Castle. A
liberal subscription has been raised to defray the expenses of a
general fete to be given in bower of her Majesty's birth day.
on the 13th instant. A plentiful dinner will be provided few the
POW* of width they will partake in the Long Walk. and a grand
display of gee-works will be exhibited in the evening its honour,
of the occasion.
