THE litNO. — R is now generally rumoured that his Majesty will

take his de- parture from the Royal Lodge, for the Pavilion at Brighton, about the middle of October. The continued unfavourable state of the weather may induce his Majesty to go earlier, should the Pa a ilion be in readiness for his reception. Several al- terations are making at the Castle, which were expected to be finished by the time his Majesty left the Royal Lodge for the summer months • but the continu- ance of heavy rain renders the King's residence in the Great Pali( very unhealthy. —Letter from Windsor, .elagust 10.

It is not improbable that our gracious Sovereign and his royal sister, the Prin- cess Augusta, will honour the Pavilion with their presence at about the same period,—namely in November. Several persons arrived on Tuesday from town at the Pavilion, whose journey, it is supposed, is connected with the preparations.-- Brighton Gazette.

LIBELS ON THE DOKE OF WELLINGTON.—The Grand Jury of Middlesex on Friday returned two true bills against Messrs. Alexander, Isaacson and Marsden, the registered proprietors of the Morning Journal, for a series of libels published in that paper, during the months of July and August, insinuating that the 11/10,t Noble Arthur Duke of Wellington was "proud, overbearing, grasping, dishonest, and unprincipled, and capable of a design to overturn the crown, and prostrate the laws and liberties of this country." The bills were immediately removed into the King's Bench by certiorari.

Ma. Husxissots.—One of the most generally accredited rumours at this mo. ment in transitu through the higher circles of the political quidnuncs is, that Me, Huskisson's "Northern circuit" is preparatory to some Ministerial arrangement, which will render his acknowledged talents for business once more available for the Oldie service ; but time most intrepid of these club-room speculators loi; not as yet in his wisdom determined the department to be vacated in favoured Mr. Fluskisson. We have not sufficient data to form any opinion as to the value of this St. James's-street on dit, but we are quite as much inclined I. adopt the conjecture of a well-known little Eastender, who thinks the Ex- President of the Board of Trade has gone Northward to feel his ground at Liverpool, as there are some queer rumours of an intended opposition to his re- election, in the event of a vacancy, which will, at all events, neutralize the in- terest on which he has hitherto triumphantly stood.—Morning Chronicle.

It gives us great pleasure to announce, that the rumoured appointment of Lori Strangford as Ambassador to Lisbon, the truth of which we questioned on Wed. nesday, and to the policy of which, if correct, we would have strongly objected, turns out to be a mere fabrication. The account of this mission is, however, jua as true as that of our fleet in the Mediterranean being about to be increased to twenty-five sail of the line. We have at present six sail there, and the ship; now under orders for that station will raise the number to nine,—a farce perfectly competent to any service that can be required of them, under any circumstance, that can occur.—Tinzew, Saturday.

Important repairs are now making in the Speaker's house. Three coffee-rooms, fronting the Thames, generally reserved for the use of the Speaker's friends after his dinners, were lately discovered to be in a state of rottenness at the foundation. It has therefore been necessary to remove all the decayed joists, macadamise the supporting strata, awl lay down new floors. Gravel and lime are the ingredient; used to counteract the dead rot, which is unfortunately too common to the soil The destructive effect may be seen in the timber which the workmen have re- moved from the building. The tapestry in the great room has been carefully taken down and cleaned, and the house will appear in the best possible condi- tion next session of Parliament.—Standard.

.W20,038 7 to The parish of St. Mary's, Newington, had a meeting yesterday, when it was resolved by a large majority to continue with the old system of watching. ).% hope we shall hear of no more stories of burglaries from that quarter. A chapel is about to be built in the vicinity of St. Giles's for the use of the thousands of Irish who inhabit that part of the city, and who have not a single place of worship to congregate in on the Lord's-day. Every nation and people have their church in London but the Irish. Little wonder they should be so re- gardless of keeping the Sabbath holy when the sacred obligation of doing so is never impressed upon their minds.—Sun.

PARLIAMENTARY REFORMERS IN LONDON.—The third monthly meeting of the Radical Reform Society was held on Wednesday. It is only worth noticing on account of some violent declamation of Mr. French the barrister, so violent that it has alarmed—Cobbett ! In the Register to-day, he states that he had written to the Secretary to withdraw his name, and that he would not attend nor speak at these meetings again. So much for that " Collective," which was to oiler during the ensuing session a counterpoise to Parliament, and to discuss the topics of the day pan i passu with that assembly.

6 I) U HAMPSHIRE REFORM MxrriNo.—At a numerous meeting held at Winchester on Monday week, resolutions wereladopted, which, after deprecating the system of contracting debt in a depreciated currency, and then raising its value without causing an equitable adjustment, and attributing much of the distress to Mr. Peel's bill upon that subject, insisted upon the expediency of restoring to the people "their legitimate influence" in the House of Commons. They concluded by recom- mending that a fund be established to further the object of the society—that a sum of money be raised by each member subscribing 2s. 6c1. per quarter, or 10s. per annum.
