One of the Collectors of the yells at the Kensington Gate was this
day summoned, at tOe instance of his Majesty's State-coachman, for
stopping the carriage and unlawfully demanding and taking the sum
of five-pence for the passage of a carriage and aeturn pair of horses
through the Kensington Gate yesterday, on its r empty from
Windsor for the purpose of being repaired.
The deferce set up was, that the exemption had not been claimed;
but it appeared that the complainant had said,—" This is his Majes-
ty's carriage and horses."—That was held sufficient.
The Magi.trate added, that it was never meant that his Majesty's
doruestics, while on Royal duty, should pay toll.
The defendant undertook that no toll should in future be de-
manded; and as the penalty was 00 asked for, he paid the costs.

palace, by the day appointed for the celebYation of the Kin's

ikrrh-day.
Tin.: GREEN PAnx.—The improvements are nearly
co•rrleted. The ground enclosed as an addition to the garden of
his R yil Highness the Duke of YORK, now forms a very hgnd-
some shrubbery; and the Royal mansion, as well as the whole of
lie grounds, is thrown open to public view by the removal of all
the old walls and cow-sheds, which are replaced by a high and
t.istclul iron rAil!tig, as well on the side of St. James's as that of the

kii-cen Park.

The Dublin Morning Post says—" A serious personal
rencontre took 'lace yesterday morning, between the Editor of
The Auidok, and a Gentleman who was personally attacked in
that Paper."
It has been stated, in some of the Papers, that the
faviii of Lord GITIORD originated in the parish of St. Leonard;
bur this is not correct ; and as every one is asking who and whence
he is, that has risen so rapidly, it may be interesting to be informed,
that Lord Gff Foul) was born in the parish of St. Petrock, in
Exeter, of respectable parents. His family were, and still are,
Unitarian dissenters. Ills father was a draper and dealer in hops ;
and after his death, the trade was carried on by his Lordship's two
brothers, until three or four :years ago, when they purchased the
lease of a house and ground, called Parker's Hill, in St. Leonard's,
and went there to reside with their mother and sister. It is not a
little remarkable, that in the same street, and, it is said, In the same
house in which Lord GIFFORD'S father and brothers resided, and
witert his Lordship was born, lived Mr. KING, a grocer and dry-
'alter, also a dissenter, whose son Prricst not liking the trade, ap-
plied himself to the study of the law, and became Chief Justice of
the Common Pleas, afterwards Lord Chancellor ; .and in 1745, was
created a Baron, Lord Ksaso, the ancestor of the present Lord KING.
THE GALE YESTERDAY AIouNING.--During the
- - - •

violent gale yesterday mu-ning, a stack of chimnies, belonging to
A house in the lower end of Charles-street, Hatton-garden, gave
nay, and fell partly into the roof of.the adjoining house, and partly
into the street. A poor boy belonging to the Charity-school, who
happened to be passing at the moment, was smitten to the ground
by the bricks and tiles, and was carried home in a hopeless state.
A man at work in the attic was also severely bruised, the rubbish,
having pehetrated the roof, and greatly damaged the house where
it fell. On the Thames the wind played sad havoc among the
barges; particularly between Blackfriars and Westminster Bridges,
and above Westminster Bridge. The oldest watermen did not re-
m:nil:Kr to have seen the waves so rough as they were opposite to
Lambeth Palace. The tide too was amazingly high ; the wind un-
fortunately aided the increased height of the tide, by blowing up
the River. Sprays dashed up the sides of the barges, and on shore
as they would at sea against the sides of ships. The ordinary boats
would not venture out. Several barges from Milbank Wharfs,.in
spite of the cautionary and laborious efforts of the men, were severed
from their moorings. One barge belonging to Air. Lucas, after
having been hurried about for some tinae, was sunk. Another, also
driven away, was partially sunk ; but some men were enabled to
get to her in large boats, and they were thus enabled to haul her
near Satire. Several barges and boats were seen irregularly hurried
without any persons on board of them, having been torn from their
moorings.
ANOTHER Gazz.—ln the evening of yesterday the Metropolis was
:pia visited by a severe storm; which did considerable damage to
11% tops of houses, Ste. and the falling materials caused serious ac-
tidents to the foot-passengers. At the end of Portsmouth-street,
Lincoln's bin-fields, the parapet of Dlr. Wells' house, the painter,
Was blown down, and the bricks and rubbish falling on a boy on
horseback, named Harry Kelly, in the employ of Mr. Butt, the
livery stabte-keeper, iu Duke-stretr, his skull was dreadfully frac-
tured, and one of his arms broken : he was conveyed to the linspi-
t4, where he now lies in a very dangerous state. In Gray's Inn-
lane several (Ninnies were blown down, and a poor woman passing
was so the. dully injured, that she was also taken to the Hospital.
Consideribl- tloninge was done to the shipping in the River ; seve-
ral craft above bridge broke frail' their moorings, and received
great injury by running foul of other vessels.
A female of rather dashing exterior, about 2.5 years
of age, lot scrne days past has exhibited her pilfering
ra-opensities so frequently as to attract the serious no.
:ice of the inhabitants of Ramsgate. Her patronage of
7rade in general was such that very little jealousy is ex-
cited that her favours were not extended to the javoured
Jew only. By extreme perseverance on the part of '
Madden, the principal officer of the police, the honoured
fail has been detected, and by the of der of Sir Tnosias
Gnev, committed to Sandwich
Monday morning, as'a Lady and Gentleman. were
ridinq in a gig along Blackfriars Road, the horse took
fright, and the Lady attempting to jump out, got her
(10thi.s entangled in the step, and was thrown out on
Iter head with great violence; she was immediately
taken up, but, before sargi,ical assistance could. be had,
she expired. The Gentleman was not hart.
