At one o'clock the dinner to tit- populace was served up

&ayes, lieneral Bolton, anal some other members of the
King's Houselield, passed between the tables, and express-
rod their satisfaction at the or ler awl regularity a hieh pre-
veiled. The Earl of Harrington, who is tiovernor of
Windsor Castle' with some ladies of his family, viewed the
feast from the balcony of the Castle lon. The moment;

Horse Heard. (Blue) and Fusiliers, which paraded he-
'wren the lines, played the favonrite air of " 0 the
roast beef of Old Englen.l." They af.erwsrds played " God
Save the King," " Rule Blitannia," and other popular
airs to accompitty the toasts. Sir R. Birnie and the Bow
Street police were present to assist in the maintenance of
order. Townshend, the old police-attendant at Windsor.
undertook the higher duty of escorting the Marquess rff
Conyoghare and the Earl of Fife through the crowd. Sir!

and Mr. Ansten, a wine-merchant, furnished gratuiously a
sleek of wise to afford two glasses each to the people.

The gravity of the occasion was severely tried, by the vocal
aecompaulatuts to the majority of the toasts; the bunion )
wu entirely coodned to the music.—The company sat moil 12
o'clock.
The illuminations were last night repeated: some of the de-
corations were teetotal: The principal hotels displayed the
Royal insignia In coloured lamps. The streets were crowded
throughout the evening, and the Eton boys were particularly
active in the explosion of are works. It was most gratifying
to be informed, that not a single aceidest happened daring the
whole of the arrangements for celebrating the Royal arrival.
Orders were yesterday issued thee visitors should be admit-
ted to see the Castle, during the Royal residence therein, as
was the custom in :As late Majesty's time.

Hairtiamtet.--Tlie novelty here last night, WWI the per-
formance of the part of Letitia Hardy by MADAMS
VESTRI6 and she played it in a maniteroibibli will
certainly produce its repetitiou. The elegance df this
lady is well known ; and her qualifications for the masque.
rade, in dance and song, were unquestionable. Bet the I
lioydenscene was expected to be a severe trial ; and the
impressive style of elocution requisite for the More
rational part of the character was by =soy thought
beyond the reach of this accomplished actress. As the
Boyden, however, we never saw a more successful effort.—
She was just what Duricourt remarks, when be says,G. there
was a cunning spirit in her eye which mocked the silliness
of her tongue." She was sufficiently hoydenish to startle
a man of delicacy, and Dot so repulsively vulgar,
au to iodate a grooni to believe she was his equal. In
some portion of the level speaking, she was rather feeble ;
but in this she will improve, as it was evidently a hasty
study. Mrs W. CIA ?roil) played M ff. Racket delightfully.
Cootie was the Duricourt. mid played with great spirit.
TIIIIIT'S Hard/ was whimsical enough. VI xi en's Flutter
was only good; and the rest went through their parts
respectably.

MR. SADLER'S AERIAL, ASCENT FROII LIVER.

POOL.

In addition to the amusements of the Pestivol week at
Liverpool, preparations haul been made on Tuesday, f, r the
ascent of Mr. Sadler, with his Balloon. From the state of
the weather, however, in the early part of the day, it was
...apposed that be ssould not attempt it; hut the signal was
trade from the Town Ball and the other public buildings,
by hoisting Bags, and long !triune three o'clock the streets
were thronged with one dense mass of the population of
this large town, and the strangers who are visiting it, all
hastening to the neighhonrhood of the House of Industry,
from the area of which the balloon was to ascend.
At half-past font the last gun gar• the signal, and the
balloon was seen to rise majestically from the centre of the
buildings which had closed it from public view, but it was
evidently not eqnul to the weight attached to it, and a thrill
of terror ran through the immense multitude when they
beheld the balloon strike the top of one of the wings of
the bons., and that instant the cream destruction of the
adventurers appeared to be inevitable. The next instant
they cleared the building, hot the balloon sunk nn ter the
weight, and alighted in a field shoot 200 yards distant.
Thousands were seen rushing to the spot ; hut in a few
inimates the balloon again ascended ( Sir. Sadler's companion
having left the csr). and the intrepid Aeron•tnt ascended in
a most magnificent style : but the late danger had sup-
pressed the cheers and exultation which accompanied his
first ascent, end fear sat upon the faces aid) present.
The balloon winged its nay thtongh the heavens, and
remained visible for 3.i minutes, when it sunk from sieve
as a speck amidst the donuts. During this time the wea-
ther continued far mote favourable than totrld have been
expected.

MR. SADLER'S DESCENT.

Abird 25 minutes past 5 o'clock, Mr. Sadler descended
at Itoxley Moss, near 1V irringion ; a 4listonce of 22 miles

tention and kindness from the inli,Ntants. MlO o'clock
that night; he returned, in high spirits, to Liverpool, in a
Post-chaise and four, with his Balloon.

by Prim e Charles and Princess Foodore of Leinengen.
Cul. Wetherell, Copt. Conroy and suite, paid a visit to oar
Ivenerable cathedral. They arrived from Ramusgate in time
for the afternoon service, and at its conclusion, were con-,
ducted over the noble strocture by the Very Rev. the Dean

lified and delighted with the beanty amt cleanliness of the

PRINCE IIORZNI.OIIIi WANTED.—About two monthasince,
• young lady of. Axminster, being in company with two or
three other females was informed by one of them, that she
1 ad a spider crawling on her neck; she screamed out, on
the announcement, and, strange to say, has ever since been
speechless I—(liannton Courier.)
Tee Werrnan.—The accounts received at Lloyd's
yesterday mention that along the whole line of coast a very
severe hurricane was felt on the Ist inst. which .has done
considerable damage to the shipping. At Deal it blew
extremely hard from the south-east, and several brigs and
ether vessels lost their anchors. His filajes'y s ship
Ramifies was among those that drone and broke their
elicitors. From Margate the accounts also state the
weather on that day to have been very boisterous,bot do not
freak of any damage ; and at Ramsgate a sionflar gale was
esperienced, and many of the ships from the Downs put
Into that harbour. At Cowes it blew a perfect hurricane,
and at Portsmouth the gale was extremely violent. At
Dover, also, the gale had been felt, and a vessel was driven
on share. but expected to be got off without damage.. The
receipt of the letters from more distant pints are awaited,
with some anxiety by those concerned in the shipping in-
terests.
FCLO-D11.14 ACT.—In this statute passed last Session of
Parliament, is a clause which enacts (after reciting that
the interment of a person found/do de se shall he privately
in the church-yard or bottled-ground of the parish or place,
and without any stake tiring driven through the body)
that "such interment olta'l be made within 24 hours after
the finding of the inquisition, and to-take place between the
hours of nine and twelve at night." On • recent occasion,
a verdict of feu de u was delivered a little before nine
o'clock at night, and the Coroner, on refer ing to the statute,
front which we have taken the above extract, found it was
indispensably necessary to inter the body before 12 o'clock
on the same night, or the provisions of the Act would not
he complied with ; for if the interment were deferred to
the following night. above 21 hours would elapse between I
the finding of the Jury and the interment. The Church-
warden was gone to bed, the grave-digger at the public
house, the burial-ground at a distance, and it was found
impossible to comply with the terms of the Act; for, not•
withstanding every exertion was used, it was tee o'clock
the following morning before the body was buried.
Next Session of Parliament this defect will, of course, be
remedied.
