FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR, JAN. 2.—During the two last days his
MAJESTY has not left the Royal Lodge. Expresse
are almost hourly passing between the Lodge and the
residence of the Duke of YORK in London ; and the
greatest anxiety naturally prevails here.
His MAJESTY, with his wonted munificence, trans-
mitted a short time since to our worthy Chief Magis-
trate, John :Toules, Esq., the sum of 50/. to be dis-
tributed among the necessitous poor in such manner
as should be judged most expedient. On Monday
last, the Corporation met at the Town Hall, and hay-
ing previously furnished the most deserving individuals
with tickets, proceeded to superintend the distribution
of the Royal bounty. A great crowd was collected,
anxious to participate in this new-year's gift, and eVery
thing was conducted in the most orderly manner;
blankets were the principal articles, and the greatest
feeling of thankfulness pervaded every individual of
the great number relieved.
This morning Lieutenant Wragg, of the Royal
Veteran Battalion, was installed one of the Poor
Knights of Windsor on the Upper Foundation, in
St. George's Chapel.

THE DUKE OF YORK.—At half-past six o'clock,
this morning, the Duke of YORK was still alive, but his situation
is deemed hopeless. A consultation of Physicians was held at a
late hour last night, and we understand that the Gentlemen pre-
sent declared, that his ROYAL Hianiirss's disorder baffled the
resources of their Art. An express, with the result of the con -
sultation, was sent off to his MAJEiTY, at Windsor, last night.
