THE KING. The KING, we are happy — to state, passed yesterday in l a comparatively comfortable state. The symptoms of the complaint under which his Al Ai EsTy is suffering wore alleviated. His MAJESTY received visits yesterday from the Duke of CLARENCE, the Princess AUGUSTA, and the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, who had all inter views with the KING. The Duke of CLARENCE re mained four hours at the Palace, and took his departure at four o'clock, on his return to Bushy Park. The Prin cess AUGUSTA and the Duchess of GLOUCESTER left together, some time previous to the Royal Duke. The Duke of CUMBERLAND visited his MAJESTY On Sun day afternoon, and spent some time in company with the KING. His Royal Highness returned in the afternoon to his residence at Kew. Sir HENRY HALFORD was in attendance yesterday. Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY and )Tr. BRODIE left the Palace yesterday morning, and v erc expected to return to the Palace last night. The bulletin was shown as usual at the KING'S Palace, St. James's. The inquirers were numerous. ST. JAMES'S PALACE. These are, doubtless, person --- =esi gdin in London who, aware of the fact that a bulletin of the Knee's health is exhibited dilly at St. James's Palace, do not know that the humblest of his MAILS. TY'S subjects, if in attire " clean and whole," have a free admis sion to the interior of the Palace between the hours of two and four, when the Lords in Waiting attend with the bulletin. Ab- tractedly considered few of the sights of London will afford more gratification than a I fait to St. James's Palace during these occa• sions ; but even taking the mournful cause which gives rise to the ceremony into view, we are persuaded that though we speak of the visit as one of gratification, we will be acquitted of all improper feeling. So soon as the King's Messenger arrives at the Palace from Windsor with the bulletin, which is merely a note enclosed in an envelope, copies of it are made by the Clerks of the House hold ; three of these are fixed under the colonnade or portico by the iron gates at the end of Pall-mall—ordinary observers are satisfied with a perusal of these; passing a few steps farther on, however, constables, messengers of the household in their uniforms, and other attendants, give notice to the wayfarer that the ceremony is not confined to this simple mode of an. nouncement. The visitor is requested to step fearlesaly into the state entrance, wind his or her way through the ample passages of the Palace, until the grand staircase is reached :1) proceeding upwards, the Lords in Waiting in full court dress, the gentlemen porters and beef-eaters in grand array, catch the eye, and betoken the abode of royalty. The Lords stand at the door of an inner chamber, each of them holding a sheet of paper, upon which are written the contents of the bulletin, in a hand so legible that he who runs may read. On the large table are writing materials for the use of those persons of distinction, and "would be's," who wish to leave their names as inquirers after his Majesty. Visitors may walk round without stopping, and leave by the opposite wing ; but as it is most likely they will prefer to linger and snuff the royal air of the place, we would advise them at once to sit down on one of the bes t Ottomans in the apartment; no one will hinder them. This is the more necessary, as the walls are covered with some of the finest paintings in the world, both portrait and landscape. Here will be seen some of Houtzurs' chefs d'oeuvre; of these, a portrait of the bluff King HARRY—the loon and lovely ARRA BoLEYR, and the stern ELIZABETH, England's good Queen BEss, will claim par. titular observation, not because of the portraits per se, but in consequence of the high style of excellence in which they are painted ; besides these, there are a variety of others—the sweetest efforts of the old masters. Independently of these, the visitor can. not but be struck with admiration at the stately staircase, the vast columns which support and adorn it, the gilded roof, the antique and Royal furniture, and wonder that so much greatness and grandeur could be contained in a building, the exterior of which it has been well and truly observed, much more resembles a Tolbooth (a Scotch gaol), than the Palace of the King of England.--/iforst ing Advertiser. The Duke of SUSSEX paid a visit t o hi s s i ster t h e . Duchess of GLOUCESTER, yesterday evening, at Glou cester House, on the return of her Royal Higness from visiting his MAJESTY at Windsor. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND came to town yesterday from their residence at Kew. Their Royal Highnesses returned to Kew in the afternoon. The Duchess of CLARENCE attended divine service on Sunday morning in the Hall, at the KING'S Palace, at Hampton Court. The cathedral service was performed by Mr. Hnw ES, and other gentlemen of his MAJESTY'S Chanel Royal. A . Cabinet Council was held at three o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Earls BATHURST, ROSSLYN, and ABERDEEN, Lord ELLENBOROUGII, Sir ROBERT PEEL, Sir GEORGE Nit RRAY, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and Mr. lIERRIES. The Council remained in deliberation till past five o'clock. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of Gtotr- C FSIEII and suite visited the British Diorama and Physiorama, at the Royal Bazaar, Oxford-street. Ills MAJESTY'S SIGYATURE....--011 Saturday COEI• , iderable interest was manifested in the House of Lords among those Noble Peers who attended, to obtain a sight of the royal signature to the commission, forwarded to the House, for giving the assent to the several public and private bills. The more anxiety was felt on this subject, as it is the last document of a public nature that his Ma jesty will sign with his own hand until he recovers from his present indisposition. His Majesty, in the instrument referred to, signed his Christian name with considerable boldness, though it wanted that firmness with which it lias usually been characterised. The Rin the word Rex i 4 very feeble, and the two letters which follow it mani fest a want of energy in the writing. The Lords of the Treasury, on the memorial of the merchants of London engaged in the wine and spirit trade, praying relief upon certain points connected with the principle on which these articles are charged ith duty on the delivery from the warehouses, have ordered, that all spirits warehoused in warehouses of special security, be taken out for home consumption, On payment of duty according to the actual quantity and strength, (and not according to the quantity and strength warehoused as heretofore); and that wines in bond may be filled up, fined, and racked, and the lees destroyed, without payment of duty. By this regulation, wally hardships much complained of by the trade are removed, particularly as regards foreign spirits, which, .when old in the finest condition, were nearly excluded from consumption by the duties required on their defi ciencies. This concession has been obtained from Go vernment by the Committee of merchants of London en 2agell in the wine and spirit trade. Our readers will remember the thunder-storm which :iappened on the afternoon of Sunday, the 23d ult. While 't "as at its height, a lady named Faithful, residing at Tulse-hill, who was standing at the window of her bed :own, was suddenly struck blind, and, notwithstanding the skill of several eminent practitioners, she has conti nued ever since in the same di s tressing state, and her ease is considered quite hopeless. The same afternoon, as John Nelson, a shoe-maker, residing at Brixton-billevree ‘ialking along the road with his umbrella up, a flash of lightning struck it, and shivered it to pieces, but he him- self fortunately escaped unhurt. .~c.~.

B. Nets Monthly Magazine. THEA TRES. COVENT-GARDEN. The reports in circulation during the last week, rendered the ap. pearance of Miss PATON and Mr. WOOD a matter of peculiar in terest with the lovers of the drama. Accordingly, a very full house assembled to witness their performance of last night in Cinderella, one of the most brilliant, musical, and melodramatic productions of the season. Indeed, it may be said, that in the absence of a na tional school, our compilers and purveyors of " sweet sounds," have never made a more judicious Selection than in the present ease. If what the French call, Le monde Theta. Irate," were subjected to the ordinary rules of society, we should not have calculated on the pleasure of seeing the hero or heroine of Cinderella quite so soon. Judging, however, from the reiterated plaudits which marked their entry and exit, we are jus tified in announcing that the public, that " unerring tribunal," exonerates them from those censures with which the harsh and unfeeling portion of the world are but too pin to visit the real or supposed failings of humanity. Although somewhat embarrassed at her first entrance, Miss Parris; soon resumed her self-possession, and never sang wish more sweetness or tffvet than during the res t of the performance. The Rule, one of Rossini's most splendid efforts, in the cantina style, was admirably executed and deservedly encored. Mr. WOOD was also very successful. Upon the whole, we could not help thinking that the two vocalists, who continue to occupy so large &space In the fashionable and scandalous world, seemed to feel as if they had come to crown a glorious victory, rather than to meet the censures of the Public. Nothing could have been more calculated to set off the charms of Miss PATON, than the double costume alloted to Cinderella, and it must be confessed she availed herself of the occasion. We never recollect to have seen her to greater advantage. The two unnatural sisters were ably personated by Miss Cat= and filiss Huonica. The former, who, as we have before said, is rapidly rising into popular favour, appeared in her favourite ebarater of Lodine, in the afterpieee, and was raptu rously encored in the only song allotted to her. Why does not Mr. BARNETT, who has proved himself so able and original • composer throughout the music of this inelo-drama, give Mils CAUSE something more to do in her peculiarly fascinating style of singing ? MA DAME VESTRIS.—AII matters in dispute between Madame Vest, is and Mr. Anderson have been amicably arranged by the mediation of a mutual friend. In justice to both parties it should be stated, that upon a full inquiry it appears they have been the victims of misrepresenta tion; and the lady is now convinced that Mr. Anderson was neither directly nor indirectly a to the intem perate and o ffi cious zeal of those who 11.11.1 her. - NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

TO HENRY BROUGHAM, ESQ ., MY DEAR Ste—A petition to the House of Co mwits, unanimously agreed to at a public meeting, held on Easter Monday, in the City of London Tavern, has for om:• time in your hands. That meeting was numerously attended ; it was called by public advertisement in all the daily journals a fort night before the day on which it was held. There was not the slightest attempt to collect any individuals to support any previously arranged measures ; it was equally o;.eli to all parties, and its unanimous decisions were, I a:preliend, an honest expression of the public feeling. The unanimous prayer of the petitioners is, that mea .- i!res which I have to propose for the relief of the suffer - el; part of the population of the British dominions, may be fairly investigated by the House of Commons. As chain man of that meeting I- now beg leave to re • ;nest you to present it to the House, of which you are SJ conspicuous a member. You were unanimous!y selected by the meeting to present it, under the conviction that von could and would do justice to the petitioners by the •;tanner in which you would bring forward and support ;lio prayer of their petition. And, allow me to say, that this is no ordinary or light -bay which they desire you to undertake. They know that a large portion of the population of this empire is now suffering severely from ignorance and I.overty, both of which evils they believe may now be removed, to a very great extent, by the right application of the means at the disposal of the British Government. With this conviction deeply impressed upon the minds of the petitioners, they are naturally and most properly anxious that the. subject should be brought before the representatives of the people by you. They know that you have the knowledge and the power to do ample justice to the subject, and to ensure for it a full and fair examination. That if you will ca.d aside all petty and personal considerations, and now put forth your full strength and eloquence in a cause in which the well being and happiness of the human race are deeply I and permanently involved, you will attain greater advan tages for your fellow men than any individual has ever yet had the opportunity of accomplishing. Having said thus much in my public capacity, as chairman of the meeting, I feel it a duty to the govern ment and people of this and of other countries to say, that a new and strange period has arrived, when tl.e most grievous oppression is experienced by the link; - trious part of the population of the world, and alarm an dissatisfaction among all classes, through those mean-; which, if naturally applied, would create for all people a continually increasing prosperity. And that you, Sir, are now the chief obstacle in the way of effecting this important change in the condition of mankind. For if you will not enter upon the investigation of this subject in the House of Commons, no one, with the con trolling eloquence which you now possess in it, will ven ture to bring it forward in opposition to, or unaided by you. But of what real value are those commanding powers of mind and of language, unless they are employed to discover, explain, and advocate great and important truths which can be applied in practice to relieve your fellow men from the evils with which they are now oppressed— evils which it is in your power now to remove ? I fear not to say, that if you will call forth your ener gies, and give your whole heart and mind to the investi gation of those principles and practical measures which I am prepared to submit to Parliament, whenever I shall be called upon for that purpose, that you will be enabled to diminish materially in this generation ignorance and poverty, and to render them unknown in succeeding generations. I wish you not to ask any favour for me, from Parlia ment or individuals; ask for a Committee, or a Commis sion to investigate a subjest for the relief of the existing distress ; it is a subject at present as little comprehended by the Members of both Houses as by my friend Mr. Hume, who, by unremitting industry, has made himself master of numbers, but not of the great causes which perpetually produce ignorance and knowlege, poverty and riches, good and evil, and of the means by which the knowledge, the riches, and the happiness, may be secured for society. These latter you have the power to secure, and that you may judiciously exert that power, for the benefit of others and the happines of yourself, is the ardent wish of, my dear Sir, very respectfully, your friend and servant, 49, Bedford-square, May 28.
