FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

BRIGHTON, MARCH 7.—His MAJESTY, accom-
panied by the Marquis of Conyngham left the Pavi-
lion for Windsor, at a quarter to three o'clock. An
immense concourse of people were assembled to wit-
ness his departure, which is a source of universal regret
in this place. From the Pavilion to the extremity of
the town, the streets were lined with persons of all
descriptions, who cheered the KING as he passed.
His MAJESTY looked remarkably well, and enjoys
perfect health ; he wore the blue riband over a plain
black coat.

Mr. Huskisson was a little better yesterday, and was
able to take an airing for a short time in his carriage.
Yesterday Viscount Granville visited Mr. Secretary
Canning.
Mr. Wynn transacted business yesterday at the Fo-
reign Office.
Lord Bexley entertained the Cabinet Ministers to
dinner yesterday at his residence in Great George-street.
Despatches were sent off last night from the office
of the Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, to General
Sir William Clinton, Commander-in-Chief of the British troops in
Portugal, which it is understood were in answer to those received
a few days since from Sir William. Despatches from the same
office were also sent last night to Malta.
EARL OF LIVERPOOL.—At twelve o'clock this
morning, the following Bulletin was issued :—" Lord Liverpool
is making slow but satisfactory progress. He has passed another
good night."
MR. BROUGHAM AND MR. RAIKES..—Mr.
Raikes, we understand, has made an apology to Brookes's Club,
for his conduct towards Mr. Brougham. The apology has been
accepted through the medium of a committee appointed to examine
into the affair, Lord Fitzwilliam in the Chair.
Mr. LONG WELLESLEY.—Sir H. Halford and
Dr. Arnott have both publicly contradicted the report of bin
Long Wellesley's having been indisposed in consequence of taking
poison. His illness, they say, originated solely in nervous anxiety,
brought on by the late Chancery suit.

We have been pained to see an unkind paragraph
in some of the London papers, relative to an amiable and accom-
plished lady, who is therein represented to be no longer the
favourite guest of an exalted personage, as s•e was previously to
her marriage. This is unfeeling towards the lady, and so far
from being the case, that there have actually been no entertain-
ments since that event, and we have the best reason to know that
she is still regarded by the illustrious personage in question, with
the same feelings of paternal affection as heretofore.--Brighton
Herald.

Mr. Young's present engagement, at Covent-garden
Theatre, will terminate this evening, when he will appear, for
the last time, in the Gamester.

Poole's new comedy is to be called The Wife's
Stratagem ; or, More Frightened than Hurt. It will be brought
out on Tuesday next ; the principal characters by Messrs. Ward,
Farren, Serle, Keeley, Madame Vestris, and Mrs. Chatterley.
We are informed that the Commissioners have in
contemplation the erection of an esplanade in front of the town, to
commence from the Gun Inn, and terminate at the entrance of
the Chain Pier esplanade. If such an improvement were carried
into effect it would add more to the beauty and attractions of the
place than all that has been hitherto effected ; and its completion
would do the greatest honour to the projectors. It is said it will
not cost so much by 10,0001. as it would to alter Pool-lane.—.

Ninety days only hare elapsed since the Winter
Assizes at Chehnsford, and, mire:bile dicta, there are upwards of
one hundred prisoners for trial. The Assizes comment* on the
12th inst. in that county. The march of roguery seems to tread
very sharply on the heels of the march of intellect.—Bury Paper.
A Tom' OF TIIP SUBLIME.—" The Master of the
Rolls (dressed as a Master of the Rolls should be,) made a
capital speech." This sentence, copied verbatim from yesterday's
John Bull, reminds us of a well-known tourist, who forgot to
look at Napoleon on his coronation-day, in his extacy at the supe-
rior importance of his robes. John Bull manifestly forgets Sir
John Copley's speech, in the consideration of his dress, a circum-
stance, in joln's eye, of far greater consequence. Verily, dace
is pa accounting for tastes.

STOCK EXCHANGE CLASSICS.—Mr. Moses, who
is as famous for wit at the East as Mr. Rogers. is at the West
End of the Town, made a capital classical pun the other day,
when it was stated on the Stock Exchange, that Mr. *
was a defaulter, and offered to pay six shillings and eightpenoe in
the pound. "It ish a pity," (said Mr. Moses,) "that he could
not pay ten shillings down ready rnoniah, as that would be twenty
shillings in the pound according to tbre proverbsh." "How do
you make that Mr. Moses," asked an illiterate broker. " Cy,
Bisli dot qui ekieo dat," replied the witty Israelite, " vich makes
ten shillings twenty."—Literary Gazette.

We have just seen a specimen of a work now in the
press, which we think will create some sensation amongst the
literary sad scientific circles. It is entitled "Philosophy in Sport
made Science in Earnest," and is an attempt to teach the first
principles of Natural Philosophy to the rising generation, by the
aid alone of their own toys and amusement. The work is illus-
trated by George Ciuikshank, and the specimens which we hare
seen afford a promise of great excellence. The work is not, as
some may suppose, a series of Didactic Essays, but a Philuso..
phical Novel, during the progress of which the scientific informa-
tion is imparted and illustrated in a perfectly original manner.

A most extraordinary snow, considering the lateness
of the season, appears to have fallen in Scotland, and to have
blocked up all the roads in the South and South West. The
Mail bags dispatched from Edinburgh, on horseback, on the morn-
ing of the 4th, for London, lost more than 24 hours in getting to
Newcastle, and arrived at the General Post Office yesterday at a
quarter past 12. The bags from all places North of Newcast*,
due yesterday, being still wanting. The mails from Edinburgh
and Glasgow were two days missing at Carlisle when the coach
came away, and one clay front Portpatrick.

In the north of Sweden they have neither apples,
pears, cherries, plums, nor indeed any kind of fruit, produced by
cultivation ; but nature has been sufficiently bountiful to the in-
habitants in pouring forth a profusion of wild and delicious dain-

ties. Among these, as the mat abundant, may be mentioned
no less than six species of raspberries, besides white, red, and black
currants, which grow wild in all the forests.

tONGEVITY Iti RUSSIA.—From the lists of the
births and deaths published by the Synod in St. Petersburgb, it
appears, that in 18.25, there died 648 persons above 100 years of
age, 32 above 120, 4 between 125 and 130, and 4 between 130
and 135 years of age. _ _

NATIONAL SOClETY.—Yesterday the General
Committee held their Meeting, at St. Martin's Vestry Room
Present, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London,
Durham, Worcester, Lichfield, Gloucester, and Llandaff; Sir
James Longhorn, Bart.; Rev. Archdeacons Pott and Cambridge ;
Rev. Dr. D'Oyley, and other Members of the Committee. Six New.
Schools were united to the Society, and Twelve Grants of Money
were made in sums from 30/ to 2001. towards the erecting, en—
larging, and fitting up of School Rooms.

PERUVIAN MINING COMPANXv----A general
meeting of Proprietors was held yesterday at the ,City of London
Tavern, to receive the Annual Report of the Directors. There
were between twenty and thirty Shareholders present, including a
lady in weeds. Mr. H. I. Brooke was called to the Chair, and
stated that the finances u' the Company were in a state of gradual
improvement.

UNITXD MEXICAN MINING SCHEME.--Yester-
day a general Lalf-yearly meeting of the Shareholders in this
scheme, was held at the City of London Tavern. Mr. Bosanquet,
the Bank Director, took the Chair, and expressed his confidant*
that a good profit would ultimately be yielded on the Minn.—,
After some further discussion, relative to the forfeited shares, mid
other affairs, the meeting adjourned, to await the arrival of ac-
counts from Mexico.
The Maidol). Agricultural Association has set an
example which should be followed throughout the kingdom ; and
there is uo time to lose. Whoever will take the trouble to read
Mr. Canning's speech in submitting; the propositions to the
House, on Thursday last, will perceive that he has not been deaf
to the remonstrances contained in the numerous petitions which
have been presented from the Landowners and Occupiers.—
The higher duty, in the opinion of the Maldon Meeting, should
commence, as respects Wheat, at 655. ; on Oats at 245. ; on Bar-
ley at 355. ; on Rye, Beans, and Peas at 401. The difference ie
not so great as to preclude all hope of attaining that object. We
shall be glad to learn the Ministers' compliance with Mr.
Brougham's suggestion c postponing the discussion of the propo-
sition until after the Assizes. It will give that time which ought
to be afforded, to obtain the public opinion as regards thein..—.
