the slave captains throw into the sea every year about
8,000 blacks, men, women, and children, of whom more
than half are thus sacrifioed while yet alive, either to escape
from cruisers, or because worn down by their sufferings,
they could not be told to advantage.—Nou Harmo'3✓

At the siege of an Italian city of note, the
Marquis di Pescara was on the ramparts examining the
cannons when a ball from the enemy suddenly whistled past
close to him, upon which he said to the Commander of the
Artillery, who was old and deaf—" Do you hear chi:
music?" to which the Officer replied—" I hear nothing;
for the balls which come I care littler-I think only of thole

DINNER TO THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL.

WINDSOR, AUG. 28.

Yesterday the Mayor and Corporation of this
borough gave a splendid entertainment in the Town-
hall to his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence,
on the occasion of his Royal Highness having-been
sworn into the office of High Steward of the borough,
in the place of the late Duke of York.
Sir GIFFIN WILSON, the Recorder, introduced
his Royal Highness, who came in h carriage and
four from Bushy-park, attended only by Col. Frede-
rick Fitzclarence. The oaths of a freeman were ad-
ministered by the Town Clerk, Mr. Seeker, and his
Royal Highness was then sworn in High Steward.
The RECORDER congratulated his Royal Highness
on his new station, and declared it a high honour for
this ancient corporation to have for their Steward
the next brother of their gracious Sovereign, and the
Lord High Admiral of so important a branch of the
executive of the country as the navy.
The Duke of CLARENCE suitably returned thanks.

The minutes of the Court of Common Council
were read over, and signed by the Mayor and Mem-
bers present, and shortly after dinner was announced.
The tables were laid in the great room of the Town
Hall, and about 50 individuals sat down to dinner,
of whom about 30 were guests invited to meet the
Royal Duke, and the remaining members of the
Corporation. The Mayor presided, and was sup-
ported by the Lord High Admiral and Lord Mary-
borough. The following were among the guests
Sir Wm. Keppel, whom his Majesty had permitted
to come from the Lodge for the purpoie, Sir Thomas
Hammond, Sir E. Nagle, Count Gorlitz, Baron
Gemmingen, Sir R, H. Vivian,. and Mr. Ramsbot-
torn, the borough members, the Right Hon. W.
Fremantle, General Harcourt, the Dean of Windsor,
the Provost and Resident-Fellow of. Eton; Colonel
Thornton, &e.

The dinner was served up in most excellent style,
by Mr. Clode, of the White Hart Inn, and his Ma-
jesty sent a buck from the Park on the occasion.
The wines, champagne, hock, claret, bucellas, &c.,
were abundant, and of the first quality. The Duke
of Clarence, Lord Maryborough, and several of the
guests, wore the Windsor uniform. The band of
the 2d Life Guards, stationed at the end of the
Hall, played during the course of the evening, and
Messrs. Salmon, Hobbs, French, and Jarman,
choristers of the Chapel Royal, St. George's, sung
several glees.
On the removal of the cloth, the health of " the
King, God bless him," was drank in the most en-
thusiastic manner.

" His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence,
High Steward of the Borough," three times three,
and loud applause. Air, " Rule Britannia."
The Duke of CLARENCE.—Gentlemen of the
Corporation, I return you thanks for the very kind
and lettering reception you have given me, and I
can assure you that I feel the kindness sincerely.—
When I rise, it is with mingled feelings of pleasure
and of grief. It is impossible for me not to recollect
that it is now more than half a century since his late
Majesty introduced me to the town of Windsor—
that excellent father, who resided so long amongst
you, and whose many virtues you must have known ;
for you hove witnessed how he discharged those
duties of a double nature, imposed upon him both
as the father of a numerous family and the sovereign
of a great and powerful people.—(Hear, hear !)
To you, Gentlemen those virtues were known, and
you still venerate his memory. Too lately has his
reign closed to expect that fair justice should be done
to his memory. But in all countries Which, like
England,
lan

truth must prevail, and the time is not far distant
are
blessed
country,
and
when
will do
him that justice which you, whose sphere of obser-
vation was more immediate, have already given.—
(Cheers.)--By the peculiar charter of this ancient
and loyal borough I meet you in the double capa-
city of a freeman, and as your High Steward. Proud
as I am of the manner in which you have selected me
to fill the latter station, I cannot but remember, that
without the approbation of my Sovereign, I could
not be in that situation, and I address you on this
subject with great pleasure. You have been many
years witnesses of the continued attachment and un-
reserved affection which his Majesty has borne to-
wards me—l have ever experienced from my Sove-
reign the greatest marks of affection and kindness ;
and I therefore feel peculiarly that which I am con-
fident all who are acquainted with his many virtues
must feel towards him.—(Hear.)—lt is now up-
wards of half-a-century that the late and present
King have honoured this town with peculiar privi-
leges ; it therefore gives me great satisfaction to be
connected with your borough. At the same time I
cannot forget whom I have succeeded. In justice
to that individual, who was dear to me by connec-
tion, and to the country by his unexampled and long
services at the head of the army, I must therefore
feel a melancholy pride in filling a situation..which
he had held. Introduced to this corporation by tile
late King, the more I have seen of its members the
more I estimate them ; and I assure you,gentlemen,
I feel a sincere satisfaction in being made your fellow
citizen.—(Loud applause.)
The Queen of Wurtemberg"—" Our illustrious
neighbour the Princess Augusta." • Glee—" How
merrily we live."

" The remaining branches of the Royal Family."
" His Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral and
the Navy."

The Duke of CLARSIMI again rose. He was in-
debted alone to the kindness and graciousness of his
Majesty for being appointed to preside over the navy
of this kingdom. He always felt pride at hearing
his name associated with the navy.—(Loud cheers.)
" The Duke of Wellington and the Army :" three
times three, and loud applause. •

Lord MARYDOROUGII returned thanks as the re-
presentative of his brother. "It is impossible when
I hear his name coupled with the army again, not to
remember the gracious manner in which his Majesty
has been lately pleased spontaneously to replace him
at the head of that army.—(Loud applause.)—That
graciousness so characteristic of the Sovereign of
these realms, must have the effect of making him
serve his master with renewed energy. It is im-
possible for any one to approach that illustrious per-
sonage without feeling that the graciousness of the
King compels the subject to serve with more fide-
lity. I beg to be excused, gentlemen, if I have
spoken warmly on this subject, and the excuse I offer
is, that I feel still more warmly than I could speak."
The Duke of CtARaNcR proposed the health of
the Mayor (Mr. Voules). It had been wisely set-
tled by the Government of the country, that in any
Corporation the Mayor represents the State ; and
he thought he but discharged the duty he owed to
the constituted authorities, when. he troposed the
health of " The Mayor of Windsor."
The MAYOR returned thanks.
