WINDSOR, MAY S.

AbCOT Heistv.--Thel77f3 Sand is now wider
going considerable alterations and improvement•, pre-
parAtory to the races.

An entire wing is about to be added, in order to
increase the unift.rmity of the buildings, while the inte-
rior is to be newly furnished and decorated. A ialfze
of stabling for the temporary accommodation • f at least
one hundred and sissy hor•es has also been erec ed
within these fe.v weeks. It is clear, ineeifd, that in
consequence of the novelty of a second meetir g, atit#
,he liist rate hor-es which have been entered to run,
that extiaor dinar y interest has oP n ettci•ed.
The Giraffe is said to be in a sickle, if not precarious
state; the knees, which have been disposed to disease
or a long time, have becmsie so had, that this elegant
creattne is at present oblige] almost entirely to confine
itself to the incumbent po_iti• n, and the knees are con,
stantly bathed in salt and water.

PANORAMA 016 t.):CIA.—We have been favoured with
a private view alibis P,anorams. It is one which for many reasons
we think will be a favourite wit • the public. .‘ Genoa Li Seperbs,"
the city of Palaces--theugh the days of her splendour are gone by.
still retains ail that is grand and gratifying to the eye, either in the
works of man, er in the assemblage of Nature's choicest beauties.
The view is taken from the Bay near the Light House on the
Molo Nuova, and the prospect of the city rising out of the clear
blue waters, surrounded by the barren Appenines rearing their
heads under the cloudless sky of Italy, cannot fail to delight the
imagination. The Lanterns, the Arsenal, the Palazzo IteJle, or
Royal Palace, the University, the Duomo, the Cathedral of Santa
Maria dl Carignano, and the various Palaces of the Nobility, arE
some of the most striking buildings depicted. The execution of
the work Is, like all Mr. Boaroan's performances, highly credit-
able to him, and we predict a successful run of the Panorama of
Genoa.

EDWARD QUIN, ESQ. BARRISTER AT LAW.—This
highly respected Gentleman died yesterday, at his
chambers, in Hare-court, Temple. Mr. Qui tr was called
to the Bar some time ago, and for the last two years
had devoted himself closely and successfully to his legal
duties. He was already fast rising into notice; and his
sound judgment, acuteness of perception, and rate io7
dustry, could not have failed, in a very few years, to
place him in the foremost ranks of a profession w hich
his talents and his worth so well qualified him to atiora.
Mr. QUIN was in his thirty-fourth year. when he fell a
victim to consumption, excited and accelerated, there is
too much reason to believe, by the ardour with which
he pursued his studies.

traits in. Pall Mall East, we observed the follow ing dis-
