On Monday, the Duke of Yo...
On MIoinday, the Duke of York went to Windsor, and dined with the King at the Royal Lodge. His Royal Higlness stayedtill near oneo'clck, and then left for Lon- don. Yesterday afternoon, soon after three o'clock, his Royal Highness left London for Brighton. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Canning left White- hall-stairs in a boat, to dine with a numerous party on board a ship off Greenwich. Yest=rday afternoon, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, after transacting business at the Treasury, left town for Charlton, Kent. Denzerara Gazettes to the 12th ult. have been received. In conisequence of a distribution of Copies of the Trinidad Order in Council among the menmbers of the Courtof Policy, some apprehension had been excited that it was done with the view of framing somethingl similar for the Government of Demerara. The Gazette of the 27th of May, however, affirms that no suchl view existed or was implie(d by the giving out such copies, although, as it wvas certainly the intention of the Court of Policy to amend the existing slave laws, they might think it advisable to have the sug- gestions of the English Cabinet before them in a tangible shape. 'rhese papers contain a proclarmation by his Ex- cellency Major-General Sir B. D'Urban, for the repeal of the tax of teii guilders per ainum, heretofore levied upon every free woman of colour. WINDSoR, July 26.-About six o'clock on Sunday evening the royal carriages were ordered out for a drive through the' Great Park. The King, accompanied by the Marchioness of Co- nyngbam, drove off about seven o'clock in the carriage wbich Hlis Majesty usually makes use of when taking the air. This carriage was followed by an open landau, in which were the Marquis of Conyngbam, Lady Harriet Conyngham, Lady Frances Paget, and S.ir W,illiam Repel; and on the aickey were Sir Andrew Barnard and Sir Edmund Nagle. The landau was drawn by four beautiful and high-spirited ponies, driven by a couple of young postilions, who did not seem to be exactly of thc sarne opinion with regard to the route which the King had taken; for, when they reached a part of the park where the road branches off in difrerent directions, the King's carriage being then out of sight, and they drivin rapidly to overtake it, the lad on the leaders turned suddenly towards Bishops- gate, whilst he on the wheel horses turned as sud(lenly dowrn the Toad leading to the gardener's lodge. By this awkward mistake, the traces of the leaders were brought dyer the heads df the wheel horses, the whecl poxtilion swept off, the carriage instantly overturned, and all the party scattered upon the road. Those inside, however, escaped with some few slightbruises,and apretty considerable derange- ment of dress. But poor Sir Andrew BaTnard was notso fortunate; he, as we have already said, was on the dicky )ith Sir Edmund Nagle, and being on the falling side, he of course got the worst of it, for he not only broke the smaU bone of his leg in the fall, but he became a cushion to break the fall of Sir Edmund. As soon as the carage could be set right, the ladies were taken back to the Royal Ledge, while Sir Andrew was carried to Cumberland lIodge on a door. A messenger was instantly sent on to inform [lis IMajesty of Ihe accident. The messenger overtook the royal carriage at Belve- dere, and lis Majesty immediately returned to Cumberland Lodge, where lhe saw and condoled with Sir Andrew, and afterwards joined the ladies at the Royal Ledge. Sir Andrew is as well as can be ex. pected. Hlis hlajesty visited him again this morning. Although lie has suffered much pain from the accident, lie is much better. He is attended by Alr. O'lReily, surgeon to His Majesty's household, at Windsor. On Alonday,at half-past two o'clock, His Majesty,accom. panied by his regular retinue, took some of his usual pleasurable rides in the Great Park, and returned to the Royal Lodge at seven o'dlock, when His Majesty was met by their Royal Hignesses the Duke of York and Princess Augusta, Alr. Canning, &c., who dined with His h1aiestv. LATR I5UEL AT PARIS.-(From a Correspondent.)- The duel which took place near Paris a few days ago, between Lieutenant Edward Finch, formerly of the 1st regiment of Life Guards, and a Mn Beebv. aifd which unfortunately proved fiatal to the latter gentleman, waas attended with some singular circumnstanccs in its origin. It appears that the parties bad been intimiiately ac. quainted tor some years, and had both, for a considerable period, resided at Paris; but-for wsonc time before the cause of the present unfortunate transaction, some misunderstanding had arisen, which caused a certain degree of' coolness to exist between them, although they still continued to meet and associate in public. On the day that the cause of this unhappy affair occurred, Lieutenant Finch bappened to be dining with some friends at a Restorateur, and met in. the coffee-room an Elnglish clergyman, with whomn he had been very well acquainted in this country, and to whom he now addressed himself in a friendly and familiar manner; but the latter, for some cause or other, did not think proper to re. cognize the acquaintance, and refused any reply to the address of rL Finch; upon which that gentleman observed, in a tone loud enough to be heatd by the clergyman and his party, that thisconduct was very strange and unaccountable on the part or Iis clerical f'riend, because, so far from his (Mlr. Fineh) thinking it any honour to be re. cdgnized by the parson, he considered thathe wasconftrring anhonour uponthelatterbyspeaking tohim at aU. These observations were Im. mediately taken up by the clergytnan's party, and Air. Finch was in. stantly called upon to retract them, or give some explanation; but he refused to do either one or the other, and told the friends of the clergyman, that if they did not like his remarks, they might put what construction they pleased on them, and adopt their own ica- sures. The consequence of this refusal was, that a general meeting of aU the rev. gentleman's friends took place that evening, amongst wlhom, unfortunatelyi wasMr.1leeby. and it was agreed-that a mes- sage should be sent to AMr. Finch, but that he should have the option of choosing his antagonist from the whole, or in the event of his refugal to do so, that they should cast lots for the honour of the field. This decision was commlunicated to Alr. Finch, who did not hesitate a moment to adopt the first proposal, and said, that as an old un- settled uisunderstanding existed between himself and Air. Beeby, they might now kill two birds with one stone, and decide both affairs at once. Mr. Beebv accepted the preference given to him: the pre- limiinaries were arra'nged, the parties met, and the first exchange of shots proved fatal to Ir. Beeby, as before stated. PR1NcE HosENLOIIE FOILED.-A gentleman labouring under insanity, has, fbr the convenience of sea-bathing and medical advice, removed froyn the county of Alayo to the vicinity of this citv. No favourable appearances having occurred in his disease, his lady was advised by some of the many Popish priests who constant- ly surround the family,'it being Roman Catholic, to apply to his holiness the Pope, to obtain, through him, the miraculous aid of Prince Hohenlohe. The Prince, of course, readily complied with the wishes of his spiritual head, and with those of the lady. lie iniformed Dr. Alurray of hisacquiescence, and appointed the day, which was last l\londay week. At the request of. Prince Hohenlohe, and by the direction of Dr. murray, on that day mass wascelebrated in every chapel of tbe archdiocess of Dublin, and twenty-one priests aitended at the gentleman's residence. These were divided, some in ohe apartment and somein another. The mass service commenced in all places at the samb hour, and continued to be " offered up" in the gentleman'r bouse until after sun-set; but-no mniracle! The afflicted wife of the gentleman, at the termination of each service, woald rush, with anxious expectation, to the apartment of her auf-a fering husband, and eagerly nquire of his keepers concerning the state of their patient; but after each celebration her hopes were dis- appointed, and her sufferings increased from disappointed hope. At length their first day'a work terminated-but no miracle was per. formed ! T?heir second day's incantation provin as abortive as their first; they agreed to abandon theirdesign, andthe great body of priests have withdrawn. They have, however not left the house for I anzhour since, wimthouta clerlcd ~ent?nel..~d,P lin Star.
