CHICHESTER.—W e re#et to announce tiny death of Dr. BUCKNER, Bishop of CHICHESTER, which took place on Saturday last at Chichester Palace. The venerable prelate had been in a declining state of health for some months. He was, we believe, nearly 90 years of age, and was a most pious and exemplary character. lie succeeded to the l3ishoprick of Chichester in the year 1797, on the death of Bishop Ashburnham. FIRST DAY or Tiam.--This morning the Judges, agreeable to ancient custom, breakfasted with the.• Lotto CHANCELLOR in Lincoln's Inn Hall. His Lordship received his guests with his usual complacency. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, who was yesterday sworn in, met with the congratulations, of his brother Judges, and .was warmly greeted on his installation. The King's Counsel having joined their Lordships, the whole proceeded in grand procession through Lincoln's Inn-fields, along Great Queen-street, Long-acre, and down St. Martin's-lane, to the Courts in Westminster, which were opened with the usual formalities. .  Extract of a letter, dated Canton, January 9: —" Every thing goes on quietly here, and the Lintin affair is at last settled by the Emperor of China leaving the King of England to punish Captain Richardson and the murderers should they ever dare to return to their own country."' The Medical Society of London presented the Fothergilliau Gold Medal, for the best Essay on Curvatures and Diseases of the Spine, to It. W. BAMPFIELD, Esq., of Bed ford.street, Coventgarden, at their General Meeting, on the 3d instant.  WiNusort CAsT.T.E.—The Castle of Windscir with all its adjuncts is the most ,interesting monarchical and historical scene in England—it is truly royal and magnificent ; our late venerated Mowancit did much to improve it, but it is still susceptible _of many and great additions and beneficial alterations. it is well known to those who have visited Windsor, that many mean and unsightly houses, out-buildings, and even sheds, had been raised against the Castle walls, and even in contact with the beautiful Chapel of St. George— that other parts of the noble fortress are encroached upon by private dwellings—that many innovations and discordant alterations have been made at different times to its exterior and interior—and that by the exercise of a little taste and talent Windsor-castle may be rendered not only preeminent for dignity and grandeur, but worthy of the nation, and an honour to the age and Monarch. His present MAJESTY has fortunately fixed his affections on the place, and Parliament has voted a sum for improvements and embellishments. Messrs. SoANE, NAsu, and SHIRKE, as attached architects to the Board of Works, have been commanded by the KING to make plans and designs. 31r. JEFF nY WYATT has received a similar command, and etc drawings thus prepared are to be sent in this day. Persuaded as we arc, that the best and most appropriate will be adopted, we look forward with no small degree of anxiety for the commencement, progress, and completion of the works. A vast deal is required to be done, and we have reason to believe that the governing powers arc desirous of carrying into effect all that may seem requisite or expedient. The Rev. C. SumsErt, one of the Prebends of \l'orcester,Cathedral, is engaged in the translation of MlL•rox's Latin Work, recently discovered among some State Papers, and which will be published as soon as the requisite arrangements are completed.
