THE KING.

WINDSOR, OCT. ls.—Yesterday afternoon, notwith-
ktanding the dampness and coldness of the weather, his
MAitsTY enjoyed his usual recreation for nearly two
hours, confining his drives chiefly within the boundpry of
the Great Park.— It is said, and from good authority,
that his MAJESTY has declined his intended visit to
Brighton this season, but that he intends taking up his
residence at the Castle the latter end of the present month.
His retiring so soon to the Castle will in a great measure
depend on the weather.--It is further said that his MA-
I rsrt Intends taking up his residence at St. James's Pa-
lace this season earlier than usual, and that he will be
resident there at the meeting of Parliament. —This day,
owing to the fineness of the weather, his MAJESTY'S
phaeton was ordered to be in readiness earlier than usual ;
hence it is expected that he will take several hours'
agreeable recreation.—His MssEsTY enjoys excellent
health, and continues to pursue the best means of pre-
serving it, by retiring early to bed and rising early. His
MAJESTY takes very little wine at or after dinner, retires
to his bed-room at half-past ten or eleven o'clock at the
latest, rises at eight o'clock in the morning, and break-
fasts between nine and ten.

EXPEDITIOUS TRAVELLING.-At a parish church,
a few days ago, the 14th chapter of St. Mark, contain-
ing 72 verses, was travelled through in eight minutes ;
being at the rate of nine verses in a minute. Does not
this, in its way, equal the feats on the Manchester and
Liverpool railway ? York Courant.
The King of Naples, during his absence, has confided
to his son the government of his kingdom.
Letters from Cracow, in Poland, of the 29th of Sep-
tember, state, that the Emperor has determined to open
the Diet in person ; and that in the interior of Russia
they are still employed in filling up the skeleton regi-
ments of the active army, and replacing the materials.
The greatest activity also prevails in the different depots.
The Imperial Guard is to return to St. Petersburg ; and
a part of the second army and the corps of General
Diebitsch, will go to the Principalities.
Accounts from Calais state, that the whole of the sur-
rounding neighbourhood has been inundated, which has
caused great damage to the remaining crops.
Am USING SCENE. —A most amusing affair was got
up, in the shape of a dinner, ten, and a ball, at Newark,
the other day. It was then called a " bit of a do."—
First came the dinner ; and as soon as the cur-
tains of the day had been drawn, the whole was
lighted up, and presented an almost enchanting
appearance. A torch-light procession proceeded round
the town—in front Sergeant Wilde in his car-
riage. The wives and sweethearts of the blues
had been, by direction of the worthy Sergeant,
provided with tea at the different houses of the land-
lords who furnished the dinner, and an order for ad-
mission to the dance, which was now to take place in
order to close the festivities of the day, which was
kept up when we went to press. After the two
first dances, Mr. Hitchens requested the whole
meeting to surround the hustings, and commenced
by observing Mr. Serjeant Wilde, I am de-
puted by some of the Blues of Newark to attempt (for an
attempt it will be) to convey to you the feelings which have
governed the poor (as they are called) blue women of the
town. They, Sir, know of no better means—nay, Sir, of
no means so good to testify their real pleasure and their gra-
tiude to you, as showing some mark of respect to one who is
dearer to you than yourself—l need not mention Mrs.
Wilde. They honestly conceive it a token inadequate to
their own feelings, their own desires, above all, Sir,
to the " inherent" qualifications, by being allied to
you, she must possess. It is a ring, Sir, emblema-
tical as they conceive of her, pure gold ; it is studded
with stones of the first water, and there is a complete
' anagram in them ; for, Sir, there is a ruby, an emerald, a
garnet, an amethyst, a ruby, and a diamond, forming the
word Regard ; it is, Sir, manufactured by our friend Wes-
ton, and bears an an inscription—" The gratitude of the
femalto blues of Newark." All this is truly ridiculous.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

How long will the Powers of Europe suffer the usurper
of the crown of Portugal—not content with ascending, through
perjury and the meet revolting acts of treason, the throne of a Queen
whom Europe acknowledges as the lawful Sovereign—to continue -
Ito punish with death the faithful subjects of that Queen, without
other crime than their Idelty to their oaths, and adhesion to a
cause that Europe and its Sovereigns recognised as legitimate?
The sentence of the Oporto Commission has been pablished
and what greater proof caa be afforded of the insolent contempt
with whictrthet despicable Miguel. Ring of the anal' and of the
armed populace that support him. in despite of the respectable
portion of the nation that detests him, treats the professed judg-
ment and principles of legitimacy. by which Europe is governed
and its sovereigns secured on their threw; than by condemning as
rebels so many illustrious victims of duty and honour ?
The Marquis of Palmas was Ambassador of the legitimate
Queen of Portugal at the Court of Great Britain, when the per-
fidious Miguel, violating his plighted faith and homage, robbed her
of her crown ; and the legitithate Government that this diplo-
matist represented thus credos to edit, he announced, as became
him, the termination of his functions, and concluded his othdal
duties with a solemn protest against the usurpation ; and can there
be a. greater outrage against civilised Europe, than to condemn that
honourable and distinguished diplomatist because he made this pro-
test, as appears by the sentence. and because he endeavoured to instil
the sentiments of honour and fidelity by which he was Inspired law
the faithful Portuguese atOpoeto and Madeira—assuring them ofthe
confidence with which they ought to rely on the friendship of the
allies of the Queen. of which the justice of her cause and their pre-
ceding conduct and solemn treaties afforded so marked a guarantee,
and which the Marquis could Dever have supposed would have
been so abused by those Powers that advised and negotiated with
the Emperor Don Pedro to deliver up the government of Portugal
to the usurper, pledging themselves for his fidelity, after voluntarily
exacting from hint such oaths and guarantees as they couceivcd
necessary for his conduct ?
Can there be greater insolence on the part of the usurper, or a
more humiliating act towards these mediating and guaranteeing
Powers and Allies, than to see this despot criminate this Am-
bassador for having acted in conformity with the precautionary
instructions that be bad received from his acknowledged sovereign,
and In which measures the Powers had taken part? What can
be Inferred from these revolting proceedings of Miguel. but that
either some governments, the enemies of liberty and the people,
have affianced to the usurper the consolidation of his usurpation ;
or that he holds at nought the principles of justice and moderation
proclaimed by a certain Ministry, whose precepts or advice he
treats with greater contempt than could be looked for or tolerated
even from the barbarism of the Dey of Algiers?
How long will the vaunted neutrality of Great Britain acquiesce
in these recessed—when will the Ministry cease to countenance
and longer to profess to endeavour to reconcile such couilicting in-
terests ? Can this philanthropic Government, that interfered in
favour of the degenerate Greeks. and hesitated not to intermeddle
with independent Powers that had so much Interest in taking from
a savage life the negroes of Africa to employ them in the agricul-
sure of the fertile regions of the new world, see with indifference
the robberies and assassinations of Miguel; and lie by, and see
him destroy and barbarize a civilised, a friendly, and awed na-
tion, because it loves its liberties;—punishing with death those
who were faithful, and would Dot make themselves accomplices In
his usurpation ;—persecudng all who will not become Isis partkans,
and robbing and sequestrating the property of every one who may,
in compliance with their oaths and fealty, seek to show adherence
to the cause of their Queen by a residence in a foreign country?
And can the sovereigns of Europe coolest longer to see a people
so persecuted, and the ancient Portuguese nation, to which the
civilised world owes so much, thus proscribed; though these so-
vereigns themselves pointed out to this devoted people the path of
homer they ought to follow, by all withdrawing their ambassadors
from the coon of the usurper ?
From whom can the good Portuguese look for relief, thus than-
doped to the sword of the usurper nod common enemy of legiti-
macy and honour, if they cannot expect it from their ancient ally?
How long will Lord Aberdeen cease to be ashamed to confess. that
a Minister of a liberal Government will only recognize as its friends
the sectarians of a fanatical faction, that detests liberal institutions,
and trusts net in these who possess them? Let those who mil be able
reconcile this paradox ; but history, at all events, will record the
acts of a government under whose bayonets the honourable and
faithful Portuguese dicers and functionaries were unarmed dis-
placed, and the bayonets organized that now oppress the loyal sub-
jects of the (beets, whose legitimacy and liberal institutions will
ever at the least reign in the hearts of the good Portuguese ; and,
it is to be hoped. will cue day triumph over the insidious, toned-
al, sod feodal policy that now oppresses them.
A PORTUGUESE EMIGRANT.

ANOTUER JOINT-STOCK COMPANY...-WE perceive
by the Morning Papers that another of these things is
likely to be got up, for making an arcade from Bartholo-
mew-lane to Moorgate—Mr. FORTUNE, the great pro-
jector in Lombard-street, wants it to be carried from the
north end of the Lane to the Circus. We are credibly
' informed that one of the Gentlemen who figured at this
humbug, has a great variety of other useful schemes, for
the benefit of the citizens, on the tapir—first, a steam-
vessel wharf on the site of the old London bridge ; next the
recovery and improvement of the Isle of Dogs ; 3dly, the
colonization of India, immediately on the expiry of the
Company's charter, by native Welshmen and Irish ; 4hly,
the importation of tea from the Continent of Europe at a
far cheaper rate than from China--about N. or 84. per
pound ; next, a mode of curing herrings superior to the
art of the Dutch ; and—but we cannot go over the bead-
roll of the innumerable useful schemes of this true patriot
and enlightened philanthropist. The City Arcade Com-
pany only require 150,000/. capital ; and the other Com-
panies we speak of, do not require above twice that
amount each. There can be no difficulty, of course, in
raising the money for purposes so useful—for the Tes-
and• Herring concern, we should think that every man•
jack in the City will come up to the scratch.
Extract of a letter, dated Lisbon, October 1.---" I
avail myself of the departure of the ships of war
which brought the British Consul to this ill-fated
country, to give you a most singular piece of intel-
ligence. On Sunday last, while the worthy King
of these realms was spending the day at the
royal residence of Alfeite, on the left bank of
the Tagus, in company of his myrmidons (butchers'
boys, hostlers, and suck-like worthies), his royal
barber, the Viscount of Quelez, was arrested by his
royal master in person, who has ever since kept him under
arrest. It said to-day that the Activia Portuguese sloop
of war has been ordered to sail for the Cape de
Verd Islands with the noble barber, as exile. You
may easily conceive the sensation this event has made
here, knowing, as you do, that the barber was the
greatest favourite of the Portuguese Nero, who had
promised to name him Count of Cantanhede on the 26th
instant, which was his birth-day. No one knows for cer-
tain the reason of this singular event, and almost every
one forms a particular opinion on the subject._ Some
say that a conspiracy existed to depose Don Miguel,
and name his precious mother Regent of the kingdom ;
others say that it is owing to some family reasons of a
peculiar nature ; and others finally say that . • • •
but this last reason ought not to transpire for the
present. Things are here in a most deplorable state
there is no money in the Treasury ; the troops are ill
paid, particularly the officers ; assassinations take place
almost every night; snendieity is in its highest degree,
and even families who formerly lived in affluence are now
seen after dusk begging from door to door."
