Royal Highnesses will be joined by the Duke of MEIN..
INGEN, the brother to the Royal Duchess.

The Austrian Ambassador, the Spanish Mi-
nister, and the French Charge d'Affaires, had interviews
with the Earl of ABIRDEEN yesterday, at the Foreign
Office.

Viscount STRANGPORD transacted business
on Thurday at the Office of the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs.

The Gazette of last night contains the ap-
pointment of the Marquis CONYNGIIAM to the office of
Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle, in the room of
the Earl of HARRINGTON.

Mr. KEMBLE has received a letter from Miss
PATON, offering, as her provincial engagements will not
allow her to accept one in town before Christmas, to come
purposely to London between the Gloucester and Birming-
ham festivals to act one night gratuitously in aid of the
fund required to avert the calamity with which Covent-
garden Theatre has been threatened. Madame Me LIBRAN
GARCIA has also, in the kindest manner, volunteered her
eminent services on the same occasion.

COUNTY FIRE OFFICE RETURNS.—We
are requested to state that all persons who in 1828, and
in preceding years, had been seven years insured, may re-
ceive their usual returns of 20 per cent. at the Office in
Regent-street, or from the respective Agents through
whom they insured.

Mr. COOPER'S new work " The Borderers,"
promises to be more interesting to the English public than
even the most successful of this celebrated Author's nov, Is.
The subject is connected with the strange fortunes of an
English family who were among the earliest settlers in the
American wildernesses.

Dr. DODDRIDGE.—The private letters of
this great man will soon be laid before the public. The
majority of Dr. DODDRIDGH'S correspondents were ladies;
and we hear that readers in general will not be a little sur-
prised to view the grave and learned author of " The
Family Expositor" in the light of a preux chevalier.
But piety is not hostile to mirth ; the devotion of Dr.
DODDRIDGIE was too pure to be ascetic, and his letters,
which are said to be models of the epistolary style, will en-
dear his memory in the breasts of the thousands who have
profited by his religious writings.

Mr. WILSON, of Wansford, had the misfor-
tune yesterday se'nnight to experience the compound frac-
ture of one of his legs, in consequence of a snare which he
was driving in a gig from, Peterborough taking fright at
Thorpe toll-bar, and when reined in, kicking violently.
Mr. Witsorr jumped out, and met with the severe acci-
dent we have mentioned.—Lincoln Mercury.

There is a talk of some misunderstanding
having arisen betwixt Sir GEORGE CLERIC and Lord
MELVILLE, respecting the representation of the county.__
The former, according to report, was to continue member
only until Mr. DUNDAS, of Arniston, came of age, and
was otherwise in circumstances to supply his place. The
latter, it is said, considers himself now in the situation
alluded to, but Sir GEORGE demurs to the proposed re-
linquishmena of his senatorial honours. We know not to
what degree of credit these reports are entitled, but we
take it for granted that the wishes of the freeholders should
have some small weight in the matter.—Scotsman.

In such an efficient state is our navy at the
present moment, that it is believed fifty sail of the line
could be sent to sea in two months. The supply of naval
and military stores at Woolwich is immense; the cannon
and shot only in the Warren occupy many acres of land--
and when the late Emperor ALEXANDER passed through
it on his visit to England, he exclaimed, " This is truly a
great country ; there is enough here to make her the ar-
bitress of Europe. NAPOLEON'S threats were indeed vain
when directed against such a power." Sound truisms
these ; and they would he found just as applicable now as
they were fifteen years ago.—Berks Chronicle.

At the Exchange to-day wheat sold at from
rs. to 31s. A gentleman from Kilmaronock sold a quan-
ity at the latter price.— Glasgow Chronicle.

A considerable stir took place in Boston
corn market on Wednesday, by the unusual number of
purchasers, several of whom had come from a great dis-
tance. We have heard that one gentleman came from Dor-
setshire, and there were several from distant parts of York-
shire, Nottinghamshire, and the adjacent counties.—The
appearance of these merchants caused the price of corn to
advance. No less than 87 ♦essels, laden with grain, have
sailed from Boston for the London market during the last
fortnight. 'fhe money laid out in corn, within the week
ending on Monday amounts to the sum of thirteen thousand
four hundred and seventy-four pounds.—Lincoln Herald

WELSH JUDICATURE.—A meeting has been
held in Denbigh on the subject of the proposed alteration
of the Circuits, &c. It will be seen, by our report, that
Mr. GRIFFITH, of Garn, proposed some resolutions appa-
rently hostile to the proposed alterations; we say "
parently .."-for looking strictly at them, and Mr. GRIF-
FITH'S own admissions afterwards, his opposition was, as
Sir Warimi W. WS NN judiciously said, rather a differ-
ence in expressions and modes than in things. Declama-
tion and an appeal to prejudices were not consonant with
Mr. GRIFFITH'S good taste ; but these were contrasted by
the sound understanding and correct view taken by the
Hon. Member for Montgomeryshire. The grave subject
on which this meeting was held, was the most unfit of all
others for gaudy declamation and an appeal to passions and
local feelings. Mr. GRIFFITH said—" Gee plan is—the
uniting the counties of Denbigh and Flint, and holding
the Sessions alternately at Ruthin and Mold. This mea-
sure is subversive of eur dearest rights. The statute of
27th Henry VIII. which may be called the Magna
Charta of Wales, secures to us the enjoyment of equal
rights, privileges, and laws, with the King's English sub-
jects. On what grounds then are we alone to be deprived
of the inestimable birthright which every:other British sub-
ject enjoys, of having justice administered to him in his
own county? Why should we, whether in the capacity
of suitors or jurors, be dragged before a distant tribunal ?
On what principles of law or equity do the framers or
supporters of such a measure, in direct violation of the
Charter of our liberties, dare to draw so invidious a dis-
tinction between us and our English neighbours ?"—Now
it so happens that " every British subject" does not enjoy
the birthright which is here celebrated. In Scotland,
two, three, and sonyatirnes four counties join together,
and try all their prisoners at one place. The plan is found
more economical ; as one gaol and one Court Room serves
for all, and it is attended with no practical inconvenience.
The county of Lanark, containing a population little short
of half a million, has yet the counties of Renfrew and
Dumbarton joined to it in its judicial Circuits. —But what
benefit does the principality derive from its present judica-
when all important trials are taken out of it. Ask
'-nil defendant in the case of Wynn v. Blair ?
