" his /*Lamm's disorder has undergone no sensible altera tion. His MAJESTY'S bodily health has partaken of some cf the infirmities of age, but has been generally good during the last month." We are sorry to learn that Mr. CatENVILLE Vett tcol was seriously wounded on Saturday, by an acci dent at a shooting party, at Cobham Hall, the seat of the Earl of DARNLEY. An erroneous report pre vailed in tcwn this forenoon, that it was his Grace the Dnke of WELLINGTON who had met wit'• this aecident ; , his Grace was in town yesterday, and well. The Mat quis ref BLANDFORD has been entertaining a large party of Fashionables, at his seat in Sussex, during the holidays. The Duke and Duchess cf RCTLAND ha: e. been entertaining a large party of Fashionables during the holidays, at their splendid seat, Belvoir Castle, Rut landshire.

GORONEfeti INQUEST —An Inquisition was held oa. Saturday, at St. Giles's Workhouse, on the body of Mary Hansard. The Jury, being sworn, took a view of the body, which lay in the dead-house, a spectacle the most loathsome, covered with rags and filth.— Ann Maxwell, a poor creature, whose situation was truly piteous, stated, that on Monday last the ae ceased came to her lodging, in a cellar at Steward's rents, Drury-lane, and told her that she was in the greatest distress, having no home, and hoped she would let her cook a few potatoes which she had had given to her, and a piece of a herring ; she told her she was welcome to do so : while she was eating the food, she said that she received eighteen pence weekly from St. Ann's Parish, and asked witness to let her remain in her house all night. She told her that she herself had neither bed *or covering, but if she chose to do as she herself was compelled to do, lie on the floor, she might do so. The deceased expressed her thankfulness for the favour, as otherwise she would have been obliged to walk in the streets all night. They both laid themselves on the floor late on Mon day night, and on the following morning she asked the deceased to get up and go to St. Anh s for her money- The deceased said she felt unable to get up, she was so stiff with cold. She endeavoured to assist her, but. she was unable to get up. Information was given of her condition at St. Giles's Workhouse, and during the day she expired,—Several of the Jury were of opinion that her death was caused by the severity of the weather - and want of proper nourish ment, when in a state of great debility ; ethers of the Jury wci e of opinion that she could not have died for want, because she ate potatoes, and part of a her ring on the preceding night ! After some discussion, a verdict of Natural Death, by the Visitation of Gou, was returned. CADIZ, DECEMBER 8, 1819.—Scarcely bad the yellow fever ceased, when the Board of Trade has come upon us with a demand for money. The Edict published on this subject, on the 6th instant, rates the quota corresponding to Cadiz at eighteen millions of zials, which ata destined to aid in the outfit of the expedition; and adds, that tlie Board had hoped, from the zeal and patriotism of the proprietors, that they would not even have waited for the term fixed for their compliance wi:h the orders of '-wer iment, but that the effects have not answered topes, for the number , has been very small ose wko have fulfilled their obliotions.— :hstanaing an indifference so reprehensible on tit of the Proprietors, adds the would to authorize the Board to take measures the igorous, they did not consider it to be their o employ them in the state of desolation in the city was plunged during the prevalence of reri bat now, as this scourge has disappeared, ;h the mercy of Dr VINE PROVIDENCE, and con ig also the severity of the new orders received, lard of Trade renew their former invitations present Edict, and declare, if the Proprietors realize the full payMent of their respective igents peremptorily, within a Very short delay, will positively adopt rigorous measures, by ig property under sequestration, as, well as due and not due, till the principals and costs seen covered.

The Sir Francis Drake, and DRAKE slop of war, were the only vessels left it Sr. JOhn's. The Grasshopper, Captain BUCHAN, was in the Ray of Exploitsi.where it was intended she should winter, and on the setting in of the frost, to send an expedition over the ice, on the river, for the purpose of opening a conciliatory communica tion with the Red Indians, one of which tribe (a woman) was on board the Grasshopper, and was to be employed in the negociation. These Indians, from a mistaken notion of the character and inten tions of our fishermen, commit at every opportunity, predatory mischief on their nets and propetty up the. rivers, and murder whatever stragglers unfortunately fall in their way. The catch of fish this season, on the coasts of Newfoundland, has been tolerably good, but the markets proved very bad. Some of the ves sels which arrived at Lisboa with the Egeria, were subsequently obliged to proceed with their cargoes to the Mediterranean.

THE OLDHAM INQUEST. Seven out of twelve of the Jury have been induced to sign the following LETTER TO MR. FERRAND, THE CORONER. " Six—We, the undersigned Members of the Jury impart skied to inquire into the cause of the death of John Lees, of Oldham, understanding that our proceeding to the close of that investigation, according to the adjournment made by you, has been Interrupted in consequence of your not having complied' with the requirements of the law, by viewing the body in com pany with us, after we were sworn by youpelf ; hereby inform you, that we are now ready to fulfil the strict letter of our duty, by going with you to view the body. As we have already sees the body, in company with a Medical Gentletban, at a very early period after death, and as you have also before seen it, we con ceive that a second view, even in its present state, would be amply sufficient to remove that technical irregularity which you /lave committed, and to which we have unintentionally been made parties. We think it right further to declare to you, that from a careful and candid examination ache evidence hitherto adduced, be are of opinion, that, in the case of John Lees, a foul murder was committed, and we are anxious to proceed to the conclusion of the inquiry, in order that, if nothing of future evidence should occur to change our convictions, we may record that conviction against those who inhumanly and barbarously assaulted a Meet-,, Lag peaceably assembled for a legal purpose, and who ham hitherto remained at large, notwithstanding the enormity of their crimes. We have also to add, that reports.have been circulated, to which, forgetting the respect you owe to us, from the situa tions woh fill, yeti have made yourself a party, by insinuating that we have been tampered with ; we think it necessary to declare, that our opinions as to the cause of the death of John Lees, have been formed from a conscientious attention to the evidence, and that had any attempts been made to induce us to swerve from the strict line of our duty, we should have met them with merited indignation., (Signed) " JOHN JACKSON, " JOHN KAY, • " THOMAk WOOLFENDEN, " JOSEPH DIXON.

Barrister-at-Law, was on Friday elected Recorder of Colchester, in the room of Mr. Serjeant RURNINOTON. The unsuccess ful Candidate was Mr.CLIIIWOOD. Benjamin Surr, of Leeds, the unfortunate maniac, who was lately discovered chained in his father's cel lar, where he had remained about sixteen years, (as mentioned in The Star on Tuesday) died on Thurs day last, in the Leeds Workhouse. The warmth and comfort which he experienced during the week in which he was in the Workhouse, were so different to the rigours to which his constitution had been habi tuated, that they produced the evil they were veaat to *Yen. It gives us extreme regret to announce, that intel ligence bat been received this,mnrning I'4 - the death of the Countess TALBO T , Lady of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of IRELAND.* Her Ladyship was sYst dangerously attacked, on Tuesday night laSt, and on iYednesday she expired. FOREST OF DARTMOOR. . The plan contemplated for bringing. Dartmoor into a state of culture is, we understand, by forming a Joint Stock Coinpany, with an extensive capital, to [locum an Act of Incorporation, and eith provisions to eettle all claim; of right to imsturage, ecc. to con vert Dartmoor Prison into a Metropolitan School, to which the London Parishes may send their children, who, in.idditiini to the common elements of educa tion, will be employed in the several processes of pre paring and manufacturing flax,aud who, when they. ' a arrive at the age of manhood, may have allotments of the Moor on lease, to establish them , elves in the husbandry they have been taught—the pruduce of their own labour while apprentices, being bestowed on them, as a capital with which to set out. The survey of this extensive tract, by RontlT. FRAZP:R, Esq. was made thirty years ago, and his able Report is in the Repertory of the Board of Agri culture; but, we need not say since that time much practical improvement has taken place in husbandry through the application of chemical knowledge to the melioration of soils, The use of lime, in parti cular, has been proved to convert bogs and marshes into productive land, and wherever lime can be pro. cured on easy terms, its efficacy in improving peat and turfy soils is sovereign. It is, we understand, upon this manure that the present hope of redeeming Dartmoor from sterility is founded. A railway has been formed from the summit to the sea shore, by which the chippings of stone, which are accumu lated in abundance at the several' parts, may be car ried up, and buret into lime by the turf found on the Moor, and by which the natural poverty of the soil may be enriched. Experience has been made of the efficacy of this course of proceeding for the last two years by Sir THOMAS TYRWHITT., who has thereby produced a crop of valuable flax, for which he has received the *hanks and the Medal of the Western Agricultural 'Society. rn our last, we hinted at the propriety of proper drainage being employed, as a mean for improving . this Moor. In fact, by withdrawing the moisture that maintains the aquatic vegetables, much time and la bour may be saved, as they %via then die of them selves ; and in this case, tui f and moss; by the loss of its maintaining moisture, will soon rot into vegetable mould, and save much labour in the transportation of other manures. The PRINCE REGENT has appointed Doctor R. GRAUAM Regius Professor of Botany in the Uni versity of Edinburgh. The turn of £3OO has been subscribed for the Re lief of the poor and destitute of Dumfries. Employ ment, in the first place, is to be provided; and when this is not practicable, coals and meat will be furnished. The first Allerdale Coursing Meeting was held on the 22d ult. upon the top of Binsa. The day was favourable, And hares were found in abundance.
