THE KING.

WINDSOR, SEPT. 16.—Monday the KING, aCCOM-
panied by the LORD STEWARD in his pony phaeton, left
the Royal Lodge at two o'clock in the afternoon, followed
by the Earl of FIFE, Lord STRATHMORE, Sir FREDE-
RICK WATSON, and Sir ANDREW BARNARD, in the
double-bodied phaeton, with the regular retinue of out-
riders. His MAJESTY on leaving the Royal Lodge drove
through the new plantations into the main road, and pro-
ceeded by Snow-hill, the Long-walk, and the new line of
road leading therefrom, in a direct line to the Castle,
where his MAJESTY arrived at half-past two o'clock, and
was met by Sir JEFFREY WYATVILLE, with whom his
MAJESTY inspected the new Tower and the alterations
made and carrying on, chiefly in replacing of furniture, &c.
throughout the new suit of apartments. After passing
upwards of two hours at the Castle, his MAJESTY and
-suite retired, and returned by the same route to the
Great Park, where his MAJESTY, after taking some of
his favourite drives, returned to the Royal Lodge at half-
past five o'clock, and at seven o'clock honoured the dis-
tinguished members of his household with his company
to dinner. Yesterday afternoon, at half-past two o'clock,
the KING, accompanied by the same suite as yesterday,
left the Royal Lodge, and after enjoying some favourite
drives in the vicinity of Virginia Water and the Great
Park, re-visited the Castle, where his MAJESTY re-
mained but a short time; and then returned to the Royal
Lodge. This day, owing to the unfavourable state of
the weather, his MAJESTY did not leave the Royal
Lodge. His MAJESTY continues to enjoy excellent
health.

The Duchess of CUMBERLAND yesterday honoured
the Countess of ABERDEEN with a visit, at Argyll-
House.
The Dean and Chapter of CANTERBURY have re-
vived the use of the curfew in that city at eight o'clock.
—Morning Paper.
Yesterday the London Grand Jury found a true bill
against the Proprietor and Printer of Tke Standard, for
a libel on the Duke of W ELLINGTON.
The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, accompanied
by the Princess AUGUSTA, came to town yesterday
morning, from their residence in Bushy Park. The
Princess SoPHIA visited their Royal Highnesses at their
residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Royal
Party partook of a dejeune at one. The Duke and
Duchess, accompanied by the Princess AUGUSTA, re-
turned to Busby in the afternoon.
The Duke of WELLINGTON, M. MATUCEWITZ (the
Russian Envoy), &c. continue at Doncaster, to discuss
the affairs of Europe as well as enjoy the pleasure of the
place. We are assured that his Grace entirely approves
of the course which Russia is pursuing, and expresses
himself quite free from apprehension as to the ambitious
designs of that power. NICHOLAS reiterates his profes-
sions of moderation, and his Grace believes him perfectly
sincere.—Morning Chronicle.
Mr. M'LEAN, the Minister from the United States to
Great Britain, and Mr. RIVES, the Minister of France,
accompanied by Mrs. RIVES and tie other members of
his family, embarked on board the Constellation frigate
at New York, on the 12th of August, which sailed the
same afternoon.
Lord PETERSHAM (now the Earl of HARRINGTON),
Colonel L STANHOPE, and the Duchess of NEWCAS-
T LE, sister to the deceased Earl, were yesterday engaged
at the mansion in the Stable-yard, St. James's, making
preparations for the funeral, which is expected to be a
military one. Immediately after the express reached
town on Tuesday, which brought the account of his
Lordship's demise, an express was forwarded to his MA-
JESTY at Windsor, and an express was also sent to
the Duke of LEINSTER, in Ireland, who married the
Earl's eldest daughter.
METROPOLITAN POLlCE.—Circular letters have been
issued requiring the attendance of the men who have
been engaged for the New Police, at Old Palace Yard,
Westminster, at an early hour on the morning of the
21st instant, when it is the intention of the Commis-
missioners, we understand, to allot them to their different
districts ; and from which time, until the 29th, when the
system will commence, they will undergo a certain train-
ing, to prepare them for duty.
The pediment of the principal portico in the KING'S
new Palace, in St. James's Park, has been sculptured
with a representation of the Triumph of Britannia, in
high relief. Above the windows of the first story, be-
hind the portico, is an illustration of the Progress of
Navigation. The garden front of the Palace has been
embellished on either side of the central projection with
subjects executed in bas-relief ; that on the eastern side,
the Expulsion of the Danes from England—the other,
Alfred giving Laws to the Britons.
No symptoms of an extraordinary desire to get into
Parliament have yet manifested themselves among the
Roman Catholics in Ireland. Lord STOPFORD, one of
the present Members for the county of Wexford, in which
there is a strong Catholic interest, having announced his
intention to retire after the present Session, three new
candidates, viz. Mr. RAM, Mr. ARTHUR CHICHESTER,
and Mr. CADWALLADER WADDY, have declared them-
selves candidates in the event of a general election.
These gentlemen are all Protestants. Sir THOMAS Es-
MONDE, who is the head of the leading Catholic family
in that county, has declined standing, and there is no
idea of any other member of the Catholic body offering
himself.
The Chancery suit in which Mr. WELLESLEY has been
concerned is now likely to terminate. The daughter
of that gentleman by his deceased wife is to be under the
care of the Duchess of WELLINGTON, and his two sons
under the care of Mr. COURTENAY, once a master in
Chancery, and now clerk to the House of Lords. The
Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. WELLESLEY have, it
is said, adjusted their differences, and shaken hands.
The Bank of Ireland have given orders to their branches
in the country, not to issue letters of credit at sight on
Dublin, as heretofore ; such letters of credit are now
made payable at ten days alter date, in consequence of
which, the facility afforded to the country merchants re-
mitting payment of their bills due in Dublin has been
much curtailed.---Dublin Morning Register.
It is thought remarkable that although Mr. HENRY
Has!, late Chief Cashier at the Bank of England, has
been dead more than six months, and a successor ap-
pointed, the Bank notes are still made payable to him.
The cause is, we understand, that an unusually large
stock of notes was printed and on hand previous to his
•decease, and that it is intended all these shall be issued
before a new name is introduced. There is a supply
*till in the Bank, it is said, for six months' farther con-
'umption.
