THE KING.
WINDSOR, •SEPT. visits to the

Castle latterly have been very frequent. Scarcely a day
passes but what he arrives in his pony phaeton, and
spends an hour or two in the inspection of the alterations
of furniture and other improvements. Yesterday the
Eaxl and Countess of CLARENDON, and the Hon. Mr.
'and Mrs. A. STANHOPE, arrived at the Royal Lodge on
a visit to his MAJESTY. Yesterday afternoon, at half
put two, the KING, accompanied by the Earl of CLA-
REN DON, in his pony phaeton, left the Royal Lodge, fol-
lowed by the Lord STEWARD and Sir F. WATSON,
in a single phaeton ; the Countess of CLAREN DON,
the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. ARTHUR STANHOPE, arid Sir
ANDREW BARNARD, in a close carriage, with the usual
escort of outriders. His MAJESTY, on leaving the Royal
Lodge, proceeded by the usual route direct to the Castle,
where he arrived at a little before three o'clock, and was
met by Sir JEFFREY WYATVILLE and Mr. AITON,
agreeably to notice, for their attendance, in order to the
placing of various statues and busts in the extensive and
elegant parterre fronting the east view of his MA-
JESTY'S suite of apartments, in which his MAJESTY,
with his usual elegant taste, after the inspection thereof,
directed the placing of them. (The busts and statues
were brought from Hampton Court.) On the ar-
rangement of which, his MAJESTY and the Royal party
left the Castle, and returned to the Royal Lodge, where
they arrived at half-past five o'clock, and at seven o'clock
the KING honoured his distinguished visitors and Mem-
bers of his Household with his company to dinner. Lord
and Lady MARYSOROUGII had also, by invitation, the
honour of dining and passing the evening with his MA-
J ESTY. The Royal band were in attendance, and
played during the evening. The Earl and Countess of
CLARENDON, and the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. A. STAN-
HOPE, it is expected, will continue their visit until
Monday next.
PRINCE LEOPOLD'S LIBERALITY.
TO THE RIWITAMF? THE STAR.
is atilionaire
Rat en aware saes

St a,—lt must be very gratifying to so economical a
personage as the PRINCE LEOPOLD OP SAXE COBURG,
to find, that though he, himself, does nothing to earn the
trifling income of Fifty Thousand Pounds per annum,
which LORD CASTLERRAOII did the people the favour
to settle upon him, yet that he has at last found active
employment for his amanuensis ; and truly, if Sin RO-
BERT GARDINER do his duty in this new department,
he will find the defence of the PRINCE'S liberality no
sinecure.
As every mark of respect paid by his Royal Highness
to the memory of his Illustrious Consort, the late PRIN-
CESS CHARLOTTE, must be gratifying to the nation of
which she was the idol,--and every tribute of his grati-
tude endear her " lonely lord and desolate consort" to
" had width loved leer as, that sass meld love bet beet,"
perhaps SIR ROBERT GARDINER, now that he has so
satisfactorily disposed of the " pension and poverty"
affair, would be so obliging as " to make inquiry into the
truth of a statement" touching certain jewels, mode by
the express orders of her Royal Highness, and which
were in her possession at the time of her ever-lamented
decease. It is said, that when the eminent jewel who
had executed the commands of her Royal Highness, pre-
sented their account, in the due course of business,
" POW' LEOPOLD," who, as CHARLES PHILLIPS told
us in " The Lament of the Emerald Isle," was " alone
with misery"—(very miserable company certainly)—and
whose only consolation consists in saving all be can of
his dear " fifty thousand," and adding to his store by the
sale of the rabbits and cabbages of " Claremont's bower"—
magnanimously refused to pay the bill, unless the jewels
were taken back, and the actual charge deducted from the
amount !
If this be not Princely, then is LEOPOLD not a
Prince. For Royalty's sake—for the sake of all that is
liberal, gentlemanly, or even decent, I should be happy
to think that such highly honourable tradesmen as those
employed by Her Royal Highness, could enable Sir
ROBERT GARDENER to " acquaint" the public that
this statement also "is entirely without foundation."
The testimony of such respectable and upright characters
would at once carry conviction with it, and attach that
credit to the assertion of the Prince's Secretary which it
certainly has not obtained in the case of Mrs. SARAH
ICON.Ht
In the present day of retrenchment, what a pity it is
that so experienced as economist as Prince LEOPOLD
cannot be induced to take office under THE GREAT CAP-
TAIN—what a Lord of the Treasury he would make!—
or Store-Muter-General—or Keeper of the Privy Parse!
—or Chancellor of the Exchequer ! With such a
financier JOSEPH Hum E'S occupation would begone!
