; r ; i 1 THE KING IN HIS YOUTHFUL DAYS. THE KING'S HEALTH. I he following Bulletin of the King's health was issued yesterday : " IVlndsot Castle, 3lay 23, 1830. His MAJESTY has passed a good night; but his MAJESTY ,utfered from the embarrassment in his breathing occasionally. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD, " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY." The bulletin of last Wednesday would only have been signed by one physician, (Sir H. HALFORD), as was ex pected, but owing to some unexpected change in his MAJ ESTY'S symptoms at a very early hour on Wednes day morning, which caused Sir MATTPIEW TIERNEY to be sent for, who arrived at the Castle in time to sign the bulletin. The state of the KING has since been such, that it has been deemed necessary for both the physi cians to continue in regular attendance. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived at the Castle about half-past twelve o'olock on Saturday. His Grace had a long audience of the KING, and remained some hours at the Palace. Sir GEL) tec;t: M uRR A y and the CHANCELLOR of the ExettLQuElt came to the Castle from London yesterday morning, and made their personal inquiries after the health of his MAJESTY. Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY left the Palace on Saturday morning, about ten o'clock, and re turned between eight and nine o'clock. M. BRODIE is in regular attendance on the KING. Mr. B. left the Pa lace on Saturday morning, and returned the same evening. Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY and Mr. BRODIE left the Pa lace yesterday morning about eight o'clock, and were expected to return to tho Palace between eight and nine o'clock.—The bulletins were shown, as usual, at St. James's Palace on Saturday, by Viscount LAKE (Lord in Waiting), and Mr. HOPE (as Groom in Waiting).— Yesterday, Earl WARWICK (Lord in Waiting), for Lord STRATHAVEN, and Sir WILLIAM LUMLEY (Groom in Waiting). The Windsor Express. . . Saturday Evening, Eight o'Clock. Our observations of last week have been more than confirmed by the subsequent bulletins, and although the two last announcements are not couched in such favourable expressions u those of the early part of the week, there can be no doubt but that a decided improve ment has manifested itself In the state of his MAJESTY'S health. It must not be disguised, however, that at his MAJESTY'S period of life, the absence of actual improvement is, in itself, an unfavour. able symptom ; that, by delay, nature becomes languid and en. feeblcd, and less able to contend with the disease. NVe confess we hail hoped that the term, "ameliorated symptoms," would have continued to be repeated. We still cling to the hope of speedily arcing that gratifying announcement resumed, but candidly acknow ledge that we Audi not feel perfectly satisfied until the term " con valescence" appears in the medical reports, or until his MAJESTY gives evidence of the fact, by once more appearing in his carriage. It will be observed that the medical gentlemen, either from a fear of implicating themselves, or of misleading the public, still observe the same extreme caution in withholding all opinion as to the real form of the disease ; contenting themselves when alluding to the complaint, to it'll; the changes incessantly upon the word " symptoms."— " Mitigated symptoms," " improved symptoms," mean that the KING suffers less from the difficulty of breathing and the spasms the most alarming symptoms of the disease. It is known, that in affections of the heart, similar to those under which our Monarch is supposed to labour, the violence of these symptoms gradually diminishes as the frame becomes exhausted and; enfeebled.-- This, happily has not been the case in the present" instance. The decided rally in his MAJESTY'S constitution which took place at the beginning of this week, afforded the most inspiring hopes to all wound him. It is gratifying to know that the lErrics's constitution still poasesses such a strong power of renovation; and that such Is the fact, might be proved, if evidence were wanting, by the circum stance, that towards the latter part of last week, at the most fearful part of the disorder, so extreme were the Royal sufferin and so violent the symptoms, that the medical attendants declared that any other frame must have succumbed to the disease. It is to this na turally fine constitution then that we mainly look for a happy deliverance. The Princess AUGUSTA, attended by Miss WINYARD, left town on Saturday morning for Bushy Park, and dined with the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, and a select party, to celebrate the birth-day of the Princess of HrssE Hom URG. Her Royal Highness returned to town in the evening. The Duke of WELLINGTON returned from a visit to iris MAJESTY at his Palace at Windsor, on Saturday evening, about six o'clock. Sir ROBERT PEEL, Sir l-tixt:E MURRAY, and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex • itt.:Qt Eit, visited his Grace at the Treasury. Sum wonses were immediately issued for a Cabinet Council, to be held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign Office.— The Ministers accordingly assembled about three o'clock. Those present were—the Lord CHAN caLLon, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Earls BATHURST and ABERDEEN, Vkcol:nt MELVILLE, Sir R O BE RT P EEL , an d Mr. 1 llt:aitirs. Sir GEORGE MURRAY and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER joined their colleagues about half-past three o'clock, on their return from his MAJESTY'S Palace at Windsor. The Council remained in deliberation till six o'clock. Saturday w•.is the birth day of the Princess of HESSE Hum By so, when her Royal Highness completed her 60th year. The indisposition of his Royal Highness the Duke of CLA RENCE still continues, but it is not of that description to excite any considerable alarm. His Grace the Duke of DEVONSIIIRE is expected to arrive at his princely seat, Chatsworth, on Monday or Tuesday next, and to remain there some time.— Sheffield Coltrane.

The following appeared in the Weekly Dispatch of S;:nilay, the 16th inst.—" Military Torture—We have j reveiv e d the following from a respectable correspondent at Wiridior, dated May 14. We give the bare facts as dct:ii!cd to us ; the horror of the occurrence will )• its own comments :—' On Tuesday last drummer of the Ist battalion of the Ist regiment or Foot Guards, now stationed at Windsor, underwent the puniiiiment of flogging, and was this day buried.' " Our i . errespotident does not state whether or not a coroner's in- Tiest was held on the body of this miserable victim." The 'r , count of so revolting an occurrence, created, as well it might, a great sensation in this town. Previous, however, to "Tiring it publicity, we thought proper to institute some trkiliry as to its veracity, and for that purpose com municated with the commanding officer on the subject. Ile result of this investigation has been completely to 141 8ify the account published by this Sunday paper. What might have given some colour to the report, how ever, is the fact, that a drummer had been flogged, and that a d•ummer also had been buried ; although it hap- Pens, unfortunately for the " respectable correspondent, " that the drummer who was buried has never been flogged, ;Ind that the drummer who was flogged has not yet been buried, but, on the contrary, is alive and in good health. Although ourselves decidedly adverse to the principle of military flogging, we entertain a still stronger aversion for the want of principle exhibited by some newspapers, who endeavour to bolster• up a reputation for exclusive information on a system of fiction and falsehood.— Windsor Express. The following description of him, on whom all eyes are v.ow fixed, in his youthful days, by the beautiful and 1 celebrated Mrs. Robinso n , w ill b e rea d w i t h i nterest at the prtsent moment. She was an actress of great per sonal charms, and was much admired for her performance of Perdita, in The Winter's Tale. An epistolary cor respondence commenced, and the Prince desired a per sonal interview, to which the lady gave consent. He was then in his nineteenth year: " At length," said Mrs. Robinson, when writing some years af terwards to a friend, " an evening was fixed for this long.dreaded interview. Lord Malden and myself dined at the inn, on the is land between Kew and Brentford. We waited the signal for cross. ing the river in a boat, which bad been engaged for that purpose. Heaven can witness how many conflicts my agitated heart endured at this most important moment. I admired the Prince; I felt grateful for his affection. He was the most engaging of created be ings. I had corresponded with him during many months, and his eloquent letters, the exquisite sensibility which breathed through every line, his ardent professions of adoration, had combined to shake my feeble resolution. The handkerchief was waved on the opposite shore; but the signal was, by the dusk of the evening, rendered almost imperceptible. Lord Malden took my hand, I stepped into the boat, and, in a few minutes, we landed before the iron gates of Old Hew Palace. The interview was but of a ma ment. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of York were walking down the avenue. They hastened to meet us. A few words, and those scarcely articulate, were uttered by the Prince, when a noise of people, approaching from the Palace, startled as. The moon was now rising, and the idea of being overheard, or of his Royal High. ness being seen at so unusual an hour, terrified the whole group. After a few more words of the most affectionate nature, uttered by the Prince, we parted, and Lord Malden and myself returned to the island. The Prince never quitted the avenue, and the presence of the Duke of York, during the whole of this short meeting. Alas I my friend, if my mind was before influenced by esteem, it was now awakened to the most enthusiastic admiration. The rank of the Prince no longer chilled into awe that being :who now considered him as the lover and the friend. The graces of his person, the ir resistible sweetness of his smile, the tenderncu of his melodious yet manly voice, will be remembered by me till every vision of this changing scene shall be forgotten. Many and frequent were the in terviews which afterwards took place at this romantic spot; our walks sometimes continued till past midnight, the Duke of York and Lord Malden were always of the party; and our conversation was composed of general topics. . __ The Prince had from his infancy been wholly secluded, and naturally took much pleasure in conversing about the busy world, its manners and pursuits, character and scenery. Nothing could be more delightful or more rational that our midnight per ambula. tions. I always wore a dark coloured habit; the rest of the party generally wrapped themselves in great coats to disguise them, ex. opting the Duke of York, who almost universally alarmed us by the display of a buff coat, the most conspicuous colour he could have selected for an adventure of this nature. The polished and fascinating ingeniousness of his Royal Highness's manners, contri buted not a little to enliven our promenades. He sung with exqui. the taste, and the tones of his voice breaking the silence of the night, have often appeared, to my entranced senses like more than mortal melody. Often have I lamented the distance which destiny had placed between us; how my soul would have idolized such a husband ; alas ! how often, in the ardent enthusiasm of my soul, have I formed the wish that being were mine alone, to whom partial millions were to look up for protection." COPY OF DECLARATIONS, le. RESPECTING MR. WILBERFORCE'S CHAP L A7' MILL-HILL. I, the undersigned John Carter, being $ bricklayer, and one of the workmen employed in the building of Mr. Wilberforce's chapel at Mill.hill, do declare, that a great portion of the bricks used in the said building were of the worst quality, and so soft that frequently they would break to pieces en being taken up : that they were what are called shakey bricks, and such as, I think, could not be sold at any price, nor such as I ever before saw used on any respectable building: that the remaining portion of the bricks consisted of place and stocks: the former might be worth 255. per thousand, and the latter 365. per thousand. That in the building one-third of the bricks, I should think, were shakey bricks, and certainly not more than one-third stocks, excepting on the pinnacles and portico ; and I will at any time, if required, depose to the facts above stated. The Mark >4 of JOHN CARTER. Signed in the presence of Thomas N 164 this 30th day of Much, 1630. THOMAS NICUOLL. I, the undersigned George Wood, being a bricklayer, and living in the immediate neighbourhood of Mr. Wilberforce's chapel, do declare, that I have repeatedly man the bricks usetKin the said build ing; that very many of them were of the worst quality, being shakey bricks, and such as I would not buy at any price, and such as I have often wondered that Mr. Wilberforce should allow to be used in his chapel,—that the person employed in unloading the bricks has often told me they would break to pieces if shot out of the cart, they were such rubbish --that a portion of the bricks were certainly good stocks, but by far the greater part shakey and place bricks,— that the best of the bricks, when delivered, were not worth more that 355. per thousand ; and I will, at any time, if required, depose to the facts above stated. March 30. GEORGE WOOD. 1, the undersigned George Seward, being a master bricklayer, and for many years in the habit of buying bricks, do declare that I bare seen and handled the bricks used in the building of Mr. Wilber force's chapel ; that part were stocks, part place, and a considerable quantity of what are called shuffey or shakey bricks ; that I would not purchase the last of them on any account, and that they are such as ought not to be used on any good building ; that I am this time purchasing as good bricks as the best of those used in Mt. IVilberforce's chapel, at Ws. per thousand, and they ate brought to me at Mention, from three to four miles distance; and I will at any time depose to the above thew March 30. GEORGE STEWARD. the undersigned John Thombury, being a blick-maker, and fot many years in the habit of selling bricks, do declare, that I have seen the bricks used in the building of Mr. Wilberforce's chapel; that the stocks may be worth, when delivered, 3.51. per thousand; the place Wicks, of which there are a very great quantity, 28s. per thousand; and the shakey bricks, nothing at all, as there is no sale for them at any pricc ; and I will, at any time, if required, depose to the above facts. March 90. JOHN THORN BURY. Sir,—ln reply to your inquiry, I will deliver to you, if the dis tance does not exceed one mile and a half from the Clamp, and if you will take 200,000,• the best stock bricks, at 365. per thousand, the best place bricks at 275. per thousand, and inferior place at 21s. per thousand. The whole of the earth, of which these bricks are made, has undergone the process of washing in a mill erected for that specific purpose, and bee a mixture of chalk in it, which Ida not understand to have been the case with Mr. Wi/berforce's bricks. Shakey bricks we cannot get rid of at any price; and if Mr. Wil berforce has got 40s. per t hou sand for his shakey bricluit, he is in deed a very lucky brickmaker, ss we do not consider them sanely worth cartage.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant, March 30, 1833. THOMAS NICHOLI4. The Rev. T. Williams. • The distance from Mr. W. Wilberforce's brick-kiln to his fa. ther's chapel, is about one mile and a quarter, and the quantity of bricks used in this chapel must Lave been, it is supposed, at least 260 000. _ _ + One of the conditions required of the contractor was, that he should pay for these bricks out of the first instalment made to him, so that Mr. W. Wilberforce has not only obtalaed 40s. per thousand for his bricks, but also prompt payment. And yet we are sold that from a religious feeling, these excellent bricks have been supplied on these moderate terms! Mr. Nicholl is a tradesman of great reopectabillty, and con siderable property, and has nodded at illeasion for many )ears. ••• In our notice en Wednesday bat we lasted that it was the eon of Mr. Wilberforce who bulk the .

For a week or two past our contemportries have thrown out divers hints regarding an affair of honour, which was on the point of taking place in the west country, but which the myrmidons of the law obAruct ed, so far as to compel the parties to transfer the field of combat from Ayrshire to France. We have been at some trouble to learn the true state of the case, and believe what follows may be taken as a veritable narrative:—The parties are Mr. Reddie, advocate, and Captain Maitland, of Freugh, Wigtonshire. The quarrel took place at the Clydesdale Hotel, Lanark, where Mr. Reddie had taken up his abode along with five gentlemen of the Kelburn Hunt. Mr. Reddie had been two days there when Captain Maitland joined the party, on the 9th of April. Some trivial difference of opinion occurred between Mr. Reddie and Captain Maitland before they were ten minutes in each other's company, but not of so irritating a nature as to pre vent them meeting at dinner. After dinner, Colonel Maclean's riding became the subject of conversation. On Mr. Reddie remarking that he had seen Colonel Maclean, while with the Duke's hounds, take a very awkward leap—namely, ditch sunk, fence up, with boggy moat immediately in front, so that it was ne cessary to check the horse on the top of the fence, and take him a yard or two along to the left, over which Colonel Maclean showed the way, followed by Mr. Ogilvy, brother of Mr. Ogilvy, of Chesters, Cap tain Maitland flatly said that there was no such leap in the country. Although Mr. Reddie warned Captain Maitland that he was serious, Captain Maitland reite rated his assertion that there was no such fence. Mr. Reddie then said, " What 1 state is correct, and who ever asserts to the contrary is a liar—Captain Mait land, you understand me." This occurred before the first bottle of claret had been discussed. Captain Maitland continued to sit at table for about two hours. Next morning Captain Maitland was informed, through the landlord of the hotel, that breakfast was prepared for him in another room, and that the gentlemen with whom he had dined desired to be alone. Mr. Reddie and the gentlemen of the hunt afterwards rode to the fixture, where they met Lord Kelburn, who, on being made acquainted with what had taken place, said that Mr. Reddie had acted quite properly. Captain Mait— land also made his appearance on the ground, but was received with marked coolness, we understand, by the gentlemen of the hunt, and in the evening left Lanark, in consequence, as it was stated, of the death of a near relation. Nine days afterwards (18th of April), Mr. Reddie was waited upon by Captain Blair, who demanded satisfaction on the part of Captain Maitland. Mr. Reddie refused to comply with the request, on the ground that Captain Maitland had been too dilatory in making it, and had, in consequence, been sent to " Coventry " by the five gentlemen be fore alluded to ; but he qualified this refusal by say ing, that if any three gentlemen would declare Cap tain Maitland entitled to a meeting, it should be given. To this Captain Blair assented, and Lord Kelburn, James Oswald, Esq. and Campbell Fletcher, Esq. were fixed on as referees. These gentlemen declined giving an opinion ; whereupon Mr. Reddie notified to Cap tain Blair that he had no alternative but to repair to Edinburgh, and take the advice of a friend. He ac cordingly instantly proceeded to Edinburgh, and laid the facts before the Earl of Buchan, who, after con sulting three military gentlemen, set off for Lanark, where three of the gentlemen who had been present at the quarrel (the other two had previously left Lanark), assured him that Mr. Reddie was justified in the lan guage he had made use of; and that, in consequence of Captain Maitland not immediately resenting that lan guage, they had declined his company. Under these cir cumstances, the earl considered himself authorized to advise his friend, Mr. Reddie, to persist in declining a meeting, and this he notified to Captain Blair. Captain Blair replied, that in that case Captain Maitland would horsewhip Mr. Reddie, in the most public manner prac ticable, on the following morning. Mr Reddie, on being told this, said, that in the event of such an out rage being attempted, he would shoot Captain Maitland on the spot; which determination was duly intimated by the Earl of Buchan to Captain Blair. Mr. Reddie afterwards had a personal interview with Captain Blair, when he agreed to meet Captain Maitland, provided any three gentlemen of the hunt would bow or speak to Captain Maitland during breakfast. In the meanwhile Captain Maitland had posted Mr. Reddie as a coward ; and the latter gentleman being subsequently informed that LordKelburnhad in consequence agreed to recogniseCapt. Maitland as a gentleman, instantly demanded a meeting, stipulating for time, however, till a friend, unfettered by a family, should arrive from Edinburgh. This chal lenge was accepted, and Balgreggan, near Stranraer, was fixed on as a place of meeting. The parties instantly left Lanark, Captain Maitland and his friend for Balgreggan, and Mr. Reddie for Edinburgh, where he remained only a sufficient length of time to make the necessary arrange ments. On the 22d of April, Mr. Reddie and his friend Mr. John Gregory arrived at Stranraer. Mr. Gregory instantly notified their arrival by letter to Captain Mail land, intimating at the same time, that he had learnt that circumstances prevented Captain Blair from acting, and that he was anxious to have an interview with any other friend of Captain Maitland, as soon as possible. Captain Maitland answered,that be meant to consult another friend withoa,t delay, and that Mr. Gregory should hear from him in the course of the afternoon. The same evening Capt. Maitland, Mr. Reddie, and Mr. Gregory, were ar rested at the instance of the Procurator Fiscal, and bound over to keep the peace. Mr. Gregory subse quently waited on Captain Maitland on the part of Mr. Reddie, and demanded a meeting at Calais. Captain Maitland declined acquiescing in this arrangement until he had consulted his friend Captain Blair; but ultimately, after some further communication between him, Mr. Gregory and Captain Blair, it was agreed that a meeting should take place. As Captain Blair was prevented, however, by family circumstances, from taking any fur ther concern in the matter, Captain Maitland was in con sequence necessitated to repair to London in quest of another friend. Mr. Reddie and his friend accordingly proceeded to Calais, where they arrived on the 9th of May. Captain Maitland and a friend, Mr. Dupre, had arrived before them, and a meeting was arranged between the seconds, to take place on the following morning. The par ties, attended by Dr. Forbes, met five miles front Calais, on the Cologne -road. The seconds measured off 12 yards, and tossed for the privilege of choosing which case of pis tols should be used, as also of giving the word fire. Capt. Maitland's friend won both tosses. Both parties fired without effect. Mr. Dupre, seeing Mr. Gregory advance, said his friend was only there to give satisfaction, where -1 upon Mr. Gregory deamisded another shot. This was in 'remedy granted. Mr. Gregory this time gave the word fire, but again the sh o t s f a il e d to ta k e e ff ect . Mr. Red die demanded a third shot, but this Mr. Gregory refused to sanction, whereupon Mr. Dupre agreed with Mr. Gre gory that nothing could be gained by a third fire. Mr. Dupre at the same time stated that Captain Maitland was now willing to say that he regretted the irritating contradiction which he had used towards Mr. Red die, and that he considered Mr. Reddie a man of lin- ' courage, provided that Mr. Reddie would admit that I.t• applied the term " liar" to Captain Mait: under 1.:):r influence of excited feelings. Mr. Reihia:, however, rejected the proposition, declaring that he would hold no communication with Captain Maidand, but avith • the pistol, and again demanded a third fire This Mr. Gregory once more refused to sanction, at the same time admitting, in answer to a query from Cti , :ain Maitland's friend, that he was bound in justice to bear testimony to Captain Maitland's honourable, cool, and gallant bearing in the field. Tice parties then left the ground, no recog nition or intercourse having taken place either bQfore or after the meeting. We have endeavoured to give an impartial history of the affair, and believe it nil be found substantially correct. There is no necessity for comment. LORD BYRON AND MR. MOORE. In reference to a passage in Ins Life of Byron, Mr. Moore has addressed to Colonel Carey, the gentletual. lluded to in that statement, the following letter: " May 91, 1830. " DEAR 51tt,...! have just seen Mr. Murray, and it is with much concerti I find, both from your own statement and the con. curving testimony of Mr. Hobhouse, that, in the account which 1 I:ave given of the affair that took place between you and Lord Byron i:t theyear 1809 at Malta, I have fallen into an entire misconception of the citeumstance connected with it. It is, 1 feel, but little cx cuss; to say that I was deceived into this mistake by those exproidot. Lad Byron himself, in one of his letters to Mr. Drury, to wllit I: you direct my attention. The account is, lam most ready to saw it, incorrect throughout; and the more publicity you give to this a:1. mission on my part, the more iclieved I shall feel from the senre of having done an injustioe.
