Tees K1NG.—His Majesty, it is expected, will hold a Court

on Monday, at his Palace, at Windsor, at which Parliament will be further prorogued, and the Recorder of London will make his report.—Court Circular.

We have reason to believe that the arrival of his Majesty at Brighton will take place between the 12th and 15th instant. A detachmeint of Life Guards (we be- lieve the 1st) is expected on the 12th; and Sir Herbert Taylor is understood to have been at the barracks with Colonel Thackwell, of the 15th Hussars, on Satur- day, arranging for the quarters and duties of the Guards and of the King's escort. The Guards are to do the town duty, and the 15th are to be in more immediate attendance upon the King.—Brighton Gazelle.

Later accounts from Brighton throw considerable doubt on the subject of the preceding statement:- The Royal visit, in fact, seems an extremely uncertain event.

The Duke and Duchess of Clarence were expected to return from Dieppe to Brighton last night.

The Duke and Duchess, and Prince George of Cumberland, with their suites, left town on Tuesday for the King's Palace at Kew, which has been prepared for their Royal Highnesses' permanent occupation.

It is said in the best informed military circles, that on the demise of the Earl of Harrington, Colonel of the First Regiment of Life Guards, the command of the regiment was offered by an illustrious personage to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland; who declined the offer, observing, that in consequence of the attachment his late King and father had for the regiment of Royal Horse Guards, when it was called the Oxford Blues, which he had at present the honour to command, he should most certainly decline the proffered exchange.— Morning Paper.

The House of Commons is to undergo several alterations previous to the meet- ing of Parliament. Workmen are now employed enlarging the long gallery leading from the coffee-room to the committee-rooms. - rae7sytbsm-ipflona for the Eldon testimonial amount to about 7,800/. *yejtunerfq45sems, are determined to proceed with the indictment against iaaldatfatess. ,.kiesfiad demurred during last term, and it was the opinion of most a.t11*.areq,i,h-would terminate with the demurrer; but it is not so, his Iriwn7krved by the-Crown Solicitor 'with- a rejoinder. ' It is rumoured that Mr. Hume is Await to retire from public life. Whether this rumour he trite or false, ii is certain that Sir James Carnegie, of Southesk, has waited on the Town-Council of Montrose to solicit their suffrages in the event of a new election taking place in the district of burghs of which Mr. Hume is the representative. It is rumoured that Mr. Montague Gore, nephew of Colonel Gore Langton (who represented the county of Somerset in five Parliaments), will be a candidate for that distinguished honour at the next election.—Exeter Alfred.

The Ward of Farringdon Without is, we understand, to be on St. Thomas's Day the scene of a contest as furious as that which took place on the last election of representatives. Mr. H unt is now canvassing the ward very zealously. Dr. Allen, the New Vicar of St. Bride's church, and the churchwardens of the parish, under the apprehension that the vulgar atrocities of last St. Thomas's Day would be repeated at the ensuing 'Wardrnote, have applied to the Bishop of London to refuse the use of the Church for that purpose. St. Bride's Church is the place in which Wardmotes have been held every third or fourth year, and its turn comes next. The Bishop of London very readily withheld his permission, and the Wardmote of Farringdon Without is to be held in the New Court of the Old Bailey. A committee of distinguished Spaniards has been formed, for the purpose of distributing whatever sums may be charitably subscribed for their unfortunate countrymen who have recently arrived in England destitute and pennyless. Sir Francis Burdett has sent 1001. through the Times newspaper, along with a letter which has been published in that journal. The Earl of Aberdeen has assured the Lord Mayor, that in consequence of the interference of this Government, the refugees would, with a few exceptions, be permitted, upon taking the oath of al- legiance, to return to Spain.

The late Mr. Lee, of Sloane-street, has bequeathed 5001. to St. George's, and 5001. to the Middlesex Hospital.

Mr. Lawrence, who has succeeded Mr. Abernethy as principal lecture Bartholomew's Hospital, has given his introductory lecture.

A meeting of gentlemen, most of them connected with the medical profession, took place on Monday evening, at No. 2, Leicester-place, for the purpose of taking into consideration the alleged abuses in the government of the Royal Col- lege of Surgeons, and to ascertain the opinion of the profession relative to the formation of a new college ; G. Wilkins, Esq., M.R.C.S. in the chair. The out. line of a plan for a new college was read. Several medical gentlemen and others addressed the meeting at some length. A committee was appointed, and the plan ordered to be printed and circulated throughout the country. The com. mittee were instructed to adopt measures and report to another meeting, at which final steps should be taken for the establishment of a new college, to be denomi- nated the " British College of Surgeons in London."

There was a meeting on Thursday in the parish of St. Saviour's, Southwark, for an investigation respecting the malappropriation of the funds for building the Borough-market. After much conversation and exposure made, it was agreed, on the motion of Mr. Leech, that a committee should be appointed to investigate the accounts relative to the iron-work in the market. M r. Leech said that he had yet a worse case to bring forward. The new police-men, in addition to their greatcoats, were on Wednesday evening furnished with large oil-skin capes, as a further protection against the weather.

At a most respectable meeting of country gentlemen and farmers, held on Monday at the York Hotel, Bridge Street. Blackfriars, resolutions were adopted, calling for the repeal of the malt and beer duties. A new charter for Reading is to be applied for with the view of facilitating the administration of judicial business, by increasing the number of Magistrates from three to six.

London was visited on Wednesday by a heavy fall of snow, which in some places continued for two hours. On Tuesday, the snow fell for nearly five hours in the neighbourhood of Windsor. Persons engaged in out-of-doors occu- pation declare, that the weather was colder on Wednesday morning than at any time during the last winter. The appearance of snow so early as this is rare, but not unprecedented : in 1816, there was a considerable fall of snow in the counties of Cambridge and Huntingdon at the beginning of September.

Feversham and. the neighbourhood was visited by a tremendous storm on Thurs- day. The claps of thunder were amazingly loud, while the intense brilliancy of the lightning kept the atmosphere in one continued blaze. A tree was torn up by the roots.

A report was circulated that the new bridge at Kingston had given way. It has, however, been ascertained, that the cause of all the alarm had arisen from an injury which the balustrades and coping only had sustained for about thirty feet on the southern side. The injury done will cause no obstruction, and may be re- paired within a week, at a trifling expense.

The Preventive Service have of late been very busy on the coast, in the app re- hension of smugglers. It appeared a strange circumstance to the smugglers that their time of landing should be known by the officers at the blockade station. Always on the alert, they have ascertained that at the depots in Dunkirk, &c. persons are stationed, who, immediately the time of sailing and the destination of the vessel are known, write to agents in this country, and the parties on the look- out are soon apprized of the probable visitor.—Kent and Essex Mercury.

A meeting took place last week at East Ilsley, Berkshire, for the purpose of forming a club or society for promoting the use and wear of cloth made from British wool.
