VWINDSO R, May 10.-This day, at tw'o o'clock, His MUa- jesty drove out in his plhaeton through the Park, anti pro- ceeded by a roal near the Princess Augusta's mansion at Frogmnore to the Royal Lodge, and the surroundino plea- sure-grounds and plantations, which are in a great state of forwardness toward completion. The King was accompa- nied by the attendants in waiting. iMr. Lane, the assistant riding-master to the King, died yesterday. There is a report, we know not whether well-founded or not, that Lordl WVilliam Bentinck is to succeed Lord Am- herst in the Governorslhip of Itidia. Lord Amherst is said to suffer greatly from the climate, and to wvish to resign. Lctters were received yester(lay from Pernambuco, dated the 17th of March, which state that a meeting had been called of the principal inhabitants to discuss the new con- stitution submitted to them from the Government at Rio Janeiro. It was expected to receive the support of the ma- jority of them ; in which case an end would be put to the power of the ultra-liberal or republican partv in Pernam- buco, wlhich has so long maintainedi the ascendency in that province. Business continued extremely languid, on ac- count of the uncertain state of political events. AIR. ANGERSTEIN'S COLL.ECTION OF PIcuTREs.--Yester- day, for the first time, the "N National Gallery" of Pictures was opened to the public at No. lOO, Pall-mall, formerly Mr. Angerstein's town residence. lAt present the exhibition consists of these pictures only. It was visited by a niumber of the nobility and gentry in the course of the day. It will remiiaini open every day. The Lord Bishop of Londlon held a confirmation yester. day Rorniing at St. Paul's Cathedral, whiclh was very numerously attended.

Liston is engaged next summer at the Hlaymarket, at a salary of 60 guineas per week, and two clear benefits' He is cngaged for the next winter season at Edinburgh and Dublin, anni consequently he will not appear on the London boards.-British Monitor. The denoutement in a late case was producedl by the fol- lowing incident. On the arrival of the lady at Dover, Lhe Custom- house officer insisted upon searching her jewel case, which she re- sisted. She said she had brought nothing back from France which she had not carried with her to it, and had undergone an examina- tion previous to her departure from England, and thit a second exa- mination would be an arbitrary and unnecessary exercise of autho. rity. The officer, however, felt it his duty to persevere, but being aware of the rank and consequence of the lady, proposed to proceed to London, carrying the jewel-case with him for the purpose of hav- ing it examined there. The ladtv, feeling herself fatigued by her voyage, and the peril she had encountered at sea, travelled but slowly up to town, while the officer completed the journey with ex- peditton; and on his arrival, presented himself at the house of the husband, and stated his business. Thehusband, without hesitation, opened the case for the satisfaction of the officer, when, to hir own great dissatisfaction, he found a letter irom Captain W' which made a deep impression on his feelings. He immediately ordered a chaise, and set out on the Dover-road, and having met the lady at Rochestcr, an interview took place,and the arrangement was made which we have stated.-Kent Meroury. For upwards of two months past many of the inhabitants of Saffron Walden have been busily employv, some at a consider- able expense, in collecting together a great inumber of a sort of lime- stones, such as are used in the composition of Roman cement, and which are to be feund in abundance in low situations all over the country. These were thought to be of great value, and numbers were busily employed in sawing them asunder, and afterwards polishing them. It was even supposed that no institution in the country could boxst of such beautiful specimens of the production of naturc. One of the best of them was forwarde(d to Carmbridge for sale, and was valued at .501.; but, alas! all things here below are inutable. After the Profes3or of Mlineralogy iD that University had seen it, he said thiat none of them were rare or valuable, beyond the cost of cutting and polishing. The bubble therefore burst, and many of the choice collection of stones will most probably be used in repairing the roads of that neighbourhood.-_Ceonty Chronicle. On lVednesday last, about fbur o'clock in the evening, a gentleman, accompanied by a young lady, in a chaise and four. ar- rived at the Buslh, in this city, on their way to Grctna, and, after having changed hastily horses, proceeded with great speed to thte temple of Hymen. They came by the way of Penrith, and travelled from that town to Carlisle'(18 miles) in onc hour and a half. About 8 o'clock they returned to the Busl, where they remained all niglht, and on Thursday morning set ofr^ in the same style towards the south. The gentleman, apparently about 26 vears of age, had thie appearance o f a naval ofticer; the lady, about 20, is truly beautifil.- Carluslc Journal.
