THE KING visited the Castle yesterday afternoon, and at seven

entertained his suite at dinner. His Majesty has daily taken his airings during the week. Fresh reports have this day gained circulation, which, if true, will certainly cause the Brightonians to rejoice. It is now constantly rumoured that his Majesty will visit Brighton for six weeks, and that he will leave the Royal Lodge for that purpose either on the 5th or 10th day of November. We have no other authority than public report for this statement, which certainly hears the appearance of authenticity with it."--atorning Post's Letter from I57mlsor, Oct. 30.

Viscount Melville on Wednesday held a levee at the Admiralty ; which was but thinly attended by Naval Officers, his Lordship's arrival in town not being gene- rally known. The Duke of Wellington and Mr. Huskisson chanced last week to dine at the table of the Marquis of Hertford at Sudbourne ; and all sorts of surmises have been the consequence. Some speculators pretend to see in this event the pre- lude to a re-union of these politicians ; others only an act of self-degradation on the part of Mr. Huskisson. We believe that both classes are mistaken, and that the meeting had not the slightest connexion with politics.

The sentence of the General Court-Martial, held at Limerick in September, on Lieutenant-Colonel Bayly of the 98th Regiment, whose trial excited so much interest at the time, is now before the public.

The Court-Martial found hint guilty of dereliction of his duty ; and to a certain extent, of cruelty, but not of conduct disgraceful to him as an officer; and adjudged that Colonel Bayly should be admonished by the Commander-in-Chief. Lord Hill has accordingly laid the matter before his Majesty; and by his Majesty's commands, has ordered the admonition of the Court to be communicated to Colonel Bayly,--With expressions of regret that any officer in command of a corps should have violated the duties which his sta- tion required of him, to such an extent as Colonel Bayly has.
