" Last.night, her MAJUTT was much better than she was on the preceding one; her cough was less troublesome than it had been for. some days, and sur enjoyed a long, and, apparently, refreshing sleep. " Sir HEXRY HALFORD and the PaiNcEssEs re tired soon after eleven o'clock. " Throughout the day, her MAJESTY remained, if any thing, a little better ; but the improvement was so slight as to be almost imperceptible. She was re moved from her bedchamber, rather earlier than usual, and at a late hour, this evening, she had not manifested any particular degree of weariness, or complained of any of her former symptoms. " The PRINCESSES pursue their improvements in the plantatioUs, with ardour. Their Royal Highnesses were on the lawn, this morning, in the midst of the workmen, before half-past nine o'clock ; and again at intervals throughout the whole day.

" At four o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK alighted from his curricle in the court of the Palace, and about half.past five the Praxes REGENT arrived from Carlton House. The Physicians imme diately waited on his Royal Highness with their Re port of the state of her MAJESTY'S health up to the moment of his arrival. His Royal Highness then joined the Duke of YORK and the PRINCESSES in the drawing-room, and shortly afterwards the Royal Duke left the Palace on his return to London. After his departure the PRINCE visited her MAJESTY, and had a long conference with her Physicians, at the close of which Sir HENRY RALFORD set out for indsor Castle, the health of the Princess SOPIIIA continuing in a very precarious state. " At a few minutes before seven o'clock, his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT took leave of his illus trious sisters, and returned to Carlton House. •' Sir FRANCIS MILLMAN is something better than he was last night."

The old dirty tiling has also been removed, to give' place to large handsome slates, and, with the addition "of the new cupola, or dome, it has a neat and elegant appearance, worthy of a superior Court of Judicature. The Pagoda Bridge over the Canal, in St. James's Park, is in a state of rapid decay. It is to be succeeded by a cast-iron bridge, now preparing at Woolwich.

The flame communi cated to a corner of the counterpane, and before Mr. NEWBANK was aware of his perilous situation, the whole bed and furniture were on fire. 'fire fright occasioned by so sudden and unexpected a circum stance, together with his other infirmities, overpower ed Mr. NEWBANK, and he threw himself into a chair, the flames at the same time raging round him. In this situation he was found by Mrs. NCWBANK, who was coming up stairs to bed, who instantly gave an alarm. The servants immediately ran to the assts-, tance of their master, and the watchmen were equally prompt in procuring fire-engines. After a short lapse of time two or three engines arrived. A plentiful supply of water was got, and by the exer t dons of the neighbours and firemen, the flames were s :bdued withoat spreading further than the room. NArAL INPELLIGENC2. *HIS D.S.
