BRIGHTON, JAN. 18.—Their Majesties continue to enjoy
good health. Yesterday the King and Queen took a carriage
airing after luncheon, selecting the marine drive. The Queen,
accompanied by Lady Cornwallis, Mdllc. D'Este, the Earl of
Munster, Prince George, Sir A. Barnard, and the Rev. Mr.
Wood, rode out on horseback for nearly two hours. The Prin-
cess Augusta, accompanied by Lady Mary Taylor, took a car-
riage airing.

The Duke of Bedford and Lord Charles Russell arrived at
Gresham's Hotel, Dublin, on Wednesday. We regret to add,
that the Duchess is still confined at Barron's-court.—Dublin
Express.

The employment of so many persons in putting Claremont in
order has given rise to various conjectures. By some it is con-
sidered as likely that Leopold and his bride will visit this coun-
try iu the spring; by others that his Belgian Majesty looks to
it as a place of permanent retreat from the thankless honours
of an uneasy crown. The more general and more probable
opinion, however, is, that the place is about to become the re-
sidence of the Duchess of Kent and her distinguished daughter.

The Duke of Cumberland has left town on a visit to the Duke
of Wellington at Strathfieldsaye. The Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Salisbury and a large party of the nobility have
been invited by his grace to meet his royal highness.
All. the Cabinet Ministers are now in town, with the excep-
tion of Lord Duiham, who is gone to Dover for the purpose
of proceediing to Brussels.
The Duke of Sussex was sufficiently recovered on Tuesday
last to preside at a meeting of the Royal Society.
The Marquis of Duoro, accompanied by Sir Robert Wilson,
left Antwerp a few days since, for Dunkirk, to pay their re-
spects to old Chasse.

At Aberdeen, on the 12th inst, by a most respectable jury,
of which General Hay, of Rannes, was chancellor, Sir Charles
Forbes, of Newe and Edinglassie, Bart. was served nearest

Forbes, of Pitsligo. The latter was father of the attainted

A dividend amounting to £20,000 was last week paid amongst
the creditors of Prince Esterhazy. The remaining balance is
to be paid within six months. The return of the Prince is again
uncertain.-211orning Post.

We learn that an Envoy extraordinary from the Shah of
Persia is daily expected to arrive in London, charged with an
important mission by his royal master. Apartments in one of
the principal hotels at the west end have been engaged for the
accommodation of the oriental Envoy. We recollect a mini-
ster from the court of Teheran being here in 1819, accompa-
nied by a fair Circassian, whose eminent personal charms oc-
casioned much interest in the fashionable world.—Globe.

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—We find that our anticipations
relative to the assembling of parliament on the 29th are per-
fectly right; indeed we never could see any reason for post-
ponement. The swearing in of members will occupy some
days,_ after which his MAJESTY will come to town (we believe the 4th or sth) and open the parliament for business. We
congratulate the litric and the country on the favourable cir-
cumstances under which the meeting will take place, as no one
can doubt that the Ministers are disposed to propose measures
suited to the state of the country, and that they will find firm
and able supporters in the real representatives of the people.—

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—Copy of a letter received by the
Lord Provost of Glasgow on Sunday :
" Downing Street, January 8, 1833.
" Sus—Parliament will meet on the 29th instant, and im-
mediately proceed to, the election of the Speaker. The other
business of the Session will not, however, commence till the
beginning of the following week.- I have taken the liberty to
give you this information, and, at the same time, beg leave to
request your early attendance, as matters of importance must
be brought under the 'consideration of the House at the com-
mencment of the Session.—J have, &c. &e.

Tun TEN HOURS' BILL.—A meeting of delegates from va-
rious districts, respecting the Ten Hours' Bill, has been called
by M. T. Sadler, Esq. at Bradford, to make arrangements for
again bringing the subject before the House of Commons, early
in the ensuing session of Parliament. The delegates were to
meet yesterday for the first time. On the authority of the
Leeds Mercury it is currently believed that Lord Morpeth, one
of the members for the county of York, will introduce,
_early in
the session, a measure equilly comprehensive with Mr. Sad-
ler's ; his lordship was on the committee for receiving evidence
in the last Parliament, and though thought to be influenced by
the large mill-owners, • yet he watched the evidence with great
care. We believe the inquiry has had the effect of cousin,*
many individuals who were before unwilling to alter Sir J. Cf.
Hobhouse's bill, to be disposed to grant the protection sought
by the operatives. We understand that many influential mill-
owners coincide with the operatives in their views.—polton
Chronicle.

REFORM !—The share of the expenses of the Somersetehire
election, to be borne by the county, amounts to more than
£IS(X).

AUGMENTATION OF LIVINGS.—The Bishop of Winchester
has availed himself of the powers given by the Archbishops'
Augmentation Act, passed last session, to increase several of
the smaller livings of 'which his Lordship is patron. Amongst
others, this advantage has been extended to the four parishes
of St. Thomas, St. Lawrence,•St. Michael, and St. John, in and
near Winchester. Previous to the passing of this act patrons
could not legally augment livings, however small the stipend ;
but it is now hoped that this example will be followed by corpo-
rate bodies and by private patrons of church benefices, where
the emoluments are totally inadequate to the sapport of p (der-
gYman.....Devizo Gazette.
