Windsor and Eton
On Wednesday afternoon his Majesty, attended by the Lord Steward, entered his pony phaeton, and took various drives through the Great Park, and passing by Sandpit Gate, Mill Gate, and China Island, entered on the margin of Virginia Water, and viewed the erection of the ruins formed from the Elgin Marbles, the New Bridge, the Boat-house, the Fishing Temple, in the vircinity together with the new shrubberies and delightful parterres adjoining, and returned to the Royal Lodge by the Obelisk and Norfolk Farm, at half-past six o'clock.
Yesterday his Majesty, attended by the Marquis of Conyngham and Sir Andrew Barnard; proceeded in his pony phaeton to Virginia Water, and Cranbourn, and afterwards drove to the Castle, down Sheet-street Road and through St.Alban's-street. His Majesty was received by Mr.Wyatville, who was in attendance for two hours, during which time his Majesty minutely inspected the whole of the works in operation at that splendid edifice, and afterwards returned to the Royal Lodge.
The ensuing Races at Ascot Heath, on Tuesday, and three following days, are expected to surpass those of many years preceding, both in the superiority of the sport and the extent of the company. His Majesty, we believe, will be present each day. Considerable alterations are being effected at the King's Stand, conducive both to its beauty and accomodation. The course is in excellent order after the late rains; and the greatest praise is due to the Clerk of the Course, Mr.Jenner, for his exertions under the direction of Lord Maryborough, to maintain it, present beautiful state. The workmen of Mr.Tebbott are now busily employed in erecting temporary stables for his Majesty's horses and those of his suite.
A most dreadful accident (fatal to three lives,) happened at Pyle, near Colnbrook, at three o'clock on Sunday morning. A woman, a boy, and a child (names unknown), coming from London, after leaving the Horton carrier at Bedfont, asked a man driving a cart and two horses, belonging to the copper mills at Wyrardisbury, and going there loaded with a ton and a half of copper, to allow them to ride, which request was granted. The man also rode. They had not proceeded above three miles, when, shocking to relate, passing a bridge at Pile, the cart overturned, and the driver, woman, and child, falling under the immense weight, were killed on the spot. The cause of this deplorable event is to be attributed to the horses endeavouring to avoid some gravel on the road, and getting too near the bank. The boy immediately went to the copper mills for assistance, and also to Mr.Cane of Pyle, where every attention was promptly paid. One of the horses was found on its side, and the other standing still, but neither of them were injured. On Tuesday an inquest was held on the bodies, at the Anchor, Stanwell Moor, and a verdict of Accidental Deaths returned.
The tenth anniversary meeting of the Auxillary Hibernian Society for Reading and its vircinity, whose sole objects are to establish schools and circulate the scriptures in Ireland, took place at the Town Hall, Reading, on Tuesday last. The meeting was addressed by J.B.Monck, Esq., president; the Rev.Mr.Webster, one of the secretaries of the Parent Society; the Rev.Messrs.Sumner, G.Valpy, Hancock, Laurie, Childers, Sherman, and Hulme; also by Captain Banks of the Navy; and George Spence, William Stevens, and Thomas Ring, Esqrs. Facts were detailed by several of the speakers, tending to show the beneficial effects of the society's labours, among the peasants of Ireland, and their growing desire to have their children educated. The proceedings of the meeting tended very greatly to show the strong interests which the state of Ireland has excited in this country. This was evinced by the great attention of the audience, and by a larger collection being made than at any former anniversary , besides a sum of �23 collected by a gentleman residing near Maidenhead.
On Wednesday last, a case of fraud, which excited considerable interest, came before the petty sessions at Beaconsfield, where a person named John Lacey was committed to the county gaol , at Aylesbury, to take his trial, for having by means of a counterfeit letter, obtained goods from Messrs. Capron and Finley, with intent to defraud them; and it is feared that the delinquent's fraudulent practices have duped other respectable tradesmen. It appeared in evidence that he had lately been employed by Mr.Backhouse, a respectable bookbinder and stationer, at Wells, in Somersetshire, in whose name he had written to Messrs. Capron and Finley for the goods, and ordered them to be directed to B.Backhouse, the Rev.Dr.Pulsford, Haw Down House, near Bath (which person and place are not known). The prisoner intercepted two other parcels, and on obtaining possession of the third, he was apprehended at the Rein Deer, Slough, to which place he had ordered that parcel to be returned from Bath, first examined after his apprehension, he named himself John Coleman, but when confronted to Mr.Backhouse, he gave his real name John Lacey. Parcels from other tradesmen had been forwarded to him at Bath, but which the prisoner ordered to be returned to Marlborough, where he probably obtained them. His letters were put in at the Wells post-office. His stature is about 5 feet 9 inches, brown hair, no whiskers, a thin person, dressed in a black coat and brown trowsers, with low shoes.
