THE KING.

WINikkOR, FEB. 28.—This morning his Majesty,
accompanied by his Suite, heard Divine Service per-
formed by the Rev. H. Seymour, in the New Music
Room. The greater portion of the royal household were
also in attendance. Yesterday afternoon his Majesty
again enjoyed an airing in his pony phaeton, accompanied
by the Lord Steward. At the usual hour of two o'clock
the phaetons were in readiness at the castle. His Ma-
jesty drove up the Long Walk into the Great Park, and
during his excursion visited the Royal Lodge, Virginia
Water, the Belvidere, and Sandpit Gate, at which latter
place he inspected the Menagerie, and left about five
o'clock, on his return to the castle. His Majesty last
evening entertained his suite at dinner, at seven o'clock.
In consequence of the completion of several parts of the
castle a great number of workmen have been discharged
during the last two or three months. The commence-
ment of any other improvements is said to be abandoned
for some time to come. The present improvments are
now nearly confined to the north front of the castle and
the Round Tower, in the latter of which considerable
progress has been made.

of a private letter from London, that the dissolution of the

hostile. Extracts of the Speech, to be delivered on the

cial projects arises from a very obvious cause—viz. as an
Irishman would express it, from the Right Hon. Gentle-
man's intentions being unknown to himself.
The talkativeness of the Whigs when out of office cau

instrument of his office ; and the Paymaster of the

his placo.—Morning Herald.

WATERFORD ELIICTION.—" Waterford, Thursday
E .—Up to this moment I have been enabled to
ascertain the accurate state of the poll. The Beresford
party allege that they have a majority of 84 ; and the
friends of the other candidates assert that their opponents
is not more than 40 a head. It is quite certain, however,
that the result of this day's poll gives Lord George
Beresford an increased majority. This city is in a state
of great excitement ; but there is no serious rioting. I
have jest been informed by a friend of the Beresford
Party, that the majority of Lord George is not more than
50. Both parties are still sanguine of success."
