THE DECCAN PRIZE CAUSE.
This most inryirtant cause came on yesterday, in pursuance of
a former adjoi.rionent, to be argued before a very NU Board of
the ,ards of the Treasury, assisted by the ATTORNEY and Sou-
coos GENERAL, &C. &C.
gr. ADAM, of COIITISCI for the Marquis Of HASTINGS, addressed
their lordships at totssideruble length, and after he concluded,
• Dr. Lusisiscrox, of Counsel also for the Noble. Marquis, pro-
ceeded to address the Board till five o'clock, wheu their Lord-
Os adjourned till twelve o'ctOck to-day.
Br. Lusinsicum, it is supptsea, wilt occupy t*o days before
lie concludes his argument, in behalf of his client's claim, it
then necessarily follows that their Lordships will have to hear
Alr. ilasaisos and Dr. Jesnont, in behalf of Sir T.. /Itstor,
Fart in reply; so that the final decision of the eatse cannot pos-
ribly•take place before the expiration of five or six days.
Should even an adjournment for a short period occtir, after
the conclusion of Dr. Lusatian: iron's argument, it is, nevenhe-
Ms, understood, that their Lordships will pronounce their judg-
ment before the meeting of Parliament.
The expense attendant on the prosecution of these claims is
already immense. 'fhe Solicitora' bills, on both sides, it is pre-
sumed, cannot be less, at present, than £lO,OOO each! The
riating of the voluminous documents alone, in behalf of one
of the claimants, exceeds .£l3OO !!

" Whereas we think it proper to revise the regulation regard-
ing the additional pay of soldiers for length of service, and to
diseuntitme the additional pay allowed to corporals and privates
at the expiation of the first period of sai vice, our will and plea-
sure
is, that no soldier who shall enlist into our Army after the
4th January, 1825, shall be entitled to the additional pay of
one penny per diem, after ten years service in the cavalry, or
after seven years' service in the infantry; but that he shall ne-
vertheisss beheld to have the same dram as heretofore tp the
itra p.y of twopence per diem. after seventeen years' service
i the cavalry, and fourteen years service in the infantry.

Lord PALMERSTON has issued a Circular, directing
that " the antiqnated Gallicism 4 Accompt' be left off
in the orthography of the War Office, and the Eng-
lish word i•Accourte be substituted for it." Although
this is not a very important subject to make a Circu-
lar about, yet it is certain that them is a silly affectation
Nery prevalent, of quoting. French words and•phrases,
which are quite unnecessary, and can as well be ex-
Tressed in English, and that of le acccmpt" is one.
It has been suggested, as the business of the War
Office is in such a state as to admit of Lord PAL-
DIERsToN turning his attention to such trifles, his
Lordship cannot surely require the assistance of
a Deputy Secretary at War. at £2500; a SuPerinJ
teadent of Accounts, at £loooi a First Clerk, at
1:1400 ; and Principal Clerk, at £l2OO per annum.
Lord HOLLAND gave a grand dinner yesterday to
Viscount and Viscountess GRANvILLE and a distin-
guished party, in Old Burlington-street.
The Earl and Countess of BRIDGwATER had. a
party on Monday, at Ashridge Castle.
Mrs. Laws had a party on Monday, at Stonelegh
Abbey.
Mr. PorNAM's Readings and Recitations, at .the

ing of Parliament.
ORIGINAL ANECDOTE OF GEORGIC Ill.—. When
GEORGE the Tiattto was at Weymouth, he frequently
.rode in the dress of a private Gentleman, attended
by one servant in private livery. On one occasion
•:.be was overtaken on Dorset Downs by a shower.
The KING turned to his servant, and ordered liina
::to gallop off to the nearest house. His Masesrs•
himself entered a hut close to the spot, and said to
the shepherd who was sitting inside, " Will you
give me a few minutes shelter?"—" To be sure I
wool," said the shepherd ; " come in, and sit thee
opc,n yon barrel." The pelsoant was cutting a large
lump of fat-pork, which stood upon a slice of bread
as thick as the pork, and swallowing pieces large
*rough to make a score of Courtiers vomit. The
'Monarch considering himself unknown, and at li-
berty to converse freely, said, " I see, my good fel-
low, you have a substantial meal upon your bread—
yea with a good .appetitei but don't you think it
would eat better upon a silver plate ?"—" A silver
plate! No," replied the shepherd. '46 Why not,
friend Why, Zur, you know as well as I do,
that .great folks, who eat off silver plates, have no
lippetite. Now, as I have a good appetite, I wish ,
to keep it—l want none of your silver plates, not I!"
The KING laughed heartily at the shepherd's con-
terupt of opulent !flannels, and onset ved, " that al-
though he did not like silver, perhaps he might have
no objection to gold!" The Monarch at the satire
moment threw down a guinea, and the rain being
over, rode•off,,lpaiing the poor unsophisticated shoes
herd looking vaitia.p.stonishment St the Royal portrait
