DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT. The Parliament will certainly be dissolved this evening. Our Readers may regard that event as having absolutely taken place, although the Proclamations for that purpose have not yet been issued. In the mean time, the Writs to a New Parliament are preparing, and will be sent off this evening and to-morrow. Since writing the above, we have been supplied with the following official announcement : BY THE KING. A PROCLMATION, Ft.)lt DISSOLVING. PARLIAMENT, AND DECLARING THE CALLING OF ANOTHER. WILLIAm R. Whereas, we have thought fit, by and with the advice of our Privy Council, to Dissolve this present Parliament.—We do for that end publish tins our Royal Proclamation ; and do hereby Dissolve the said Parlia ment accordingly ; and the Lords Spiritual and Tem poral, and the Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses, and the Commissioners for Shires andßurglis of the House of Com mons, are discharged from their meeting and attendance And we being desirous and resolved, as soon as may be, to meet our people, and to have their advice in Parlia ment, do hereby make known to all our loving sub- Jecti our Royal will and pleasure to call a New Parliament. And do hereby further declare, that with the advice of our Privy Council, We have given orders, that our Chancellor of that part of our United Kingdom called Great Britain, and our Chancellor of Ireland, do respecti'vely, upon notice thereof, forthwith issue out writs in due form, and according to law, for call ing a New Parliament : And we do hereby also, by this oar Royal Proclamation, under our Great Seal of our Uni ed Kingdom, require w rits forthwith to be issued accord ingly by our said Chancellors respectively, for causing the lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, who are to serve in the said Parliament to be duly returned to :Ind give their attendance in our said Parliament ; which Writs are to be returnable on Tuesday, the fourteenth day of September next. Given at our Court at St. James's, the twenty-fourth day of July, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty, in the First Year of our Reign. GOD SAVE THE KING ! A similar Proclamation was issued for the Scotch Peers to meet at Hoiyrood House, Edinburgh, on Thursday the second day of September, for the Election of Sixteen Peers of Scotland, to sit in the House of Peers in the Now Parliament. We have the Government Gazette of Caraccas to the ICtli June. Venezuela was fully organized as an inde pendent State ; and there appeared no prospect of the New Government of Bogota being able to reclaim it. Tiv. Congress retained General PA EZ, as her Civil and ilitary Chief ; and the Official Gazette of the 4th of ' June contains his first Message to the Congress, dated fi om his head-quarters at San Carlos, the 30th April. The documents relative to the new organization are nu merous and voluminous ; but from them may be inferred that the separation of this province from Colombia is final. We hare letters from Madrid to the 10th inst. The system of 'opposition pursued in France bad produced a strong feeling there, amongst the people ; at the same time that it had created great alarm in the Government. The Council of Castile, always distinguished for its ha tred of liberal opinions, had delivered the project of a law to the KING which it considered necessary under existing circumstances. The following are the most important pas sages of the Address :—SI RE— Our devotion to your Mx- JESTY, whose interests and whose glory have always been so dear to us, puts us boyead the reach of suspicion. —ln addressing you with freedom, we believe that we are rendering you an important service ; for when we reflect on the course of affairs in France, it appears that we shall be the first exposed to the fury of the revolu tionary faction, and your MAJESTY will soon feel that France, once assured of her triumph, will seek to extend it to the Peninsula. SIRE-It is necessary to find the means of arresting the danger which threatens us ; and by seconding the public wish, ensure the loyalty of the people, otherwise some fatal consequences may be feared. We know of no other mode of attaining these ends, than the one explained in the law project, which we have the honour to lay before your MAJESTY, with that respect with which you always inspire us.—This law comprehends the total oblivion of all political offences, recals home the emigrants, and provides for the convo cation of the Cortes Estamentas. We conceive there has never been a Speech delivered from the Throne of this kingdom, which has afforded such universal satisfaction, as that delivered yesterday by his MAJESTY. The language of the Speech is con siderate and decided ; the sentiments it conveys are ap propriate and dignified ; and the general character of the whole, is that of manly and unambiguous sincerity. The manner in which it was delivered, was emphatically im pressive ; and his MAJESTY must be no inadequate actor, if it did not, in every sentence, come forth with the full sanction of the heart of the Royal orator. It is impossible for any Monarch to receive, more uni versally, the popular gratulation, than what were called forth yesterday on his MAJESTY'S passage to and from the House. It may truly be said, in the language of his profession, that he starts on the voyage of patriotism, with a fair and enlivening breeze. In our humble opinion, the earliest acts of his reign most richly merit the popular favour he has obtained. The restitution of Sir ROBERT WILSON to his rank, is a wise, and what is better, but not always the same, a good act. The public mark, too, with great interest and satisfaction, the promotion of Veterans in the late Gazettes ; who appear to be selected, not from family in terest, but from their services to the country. It is pleasing to see the hero of Acre once more among us— once more in the way ofenjoying a little sun-shine ; and, what is better, still ready and able to fly to the first con flict where his ability and valour may be made available to his country's glory. There is still another individual in the shade—a dii tinguished character in the profession, supposed more pe culiarly sure of His MAJESTY'S protection.—There is still in exile, or comparative obscurity, a naval hero whose professional talent and courage is undoubted; and whose allegiance and services his country can not spare. On considering his case, we are sure the verdict of unbiassed men must be, that he has suffered under an inexpedient, and unjust severity. We cannot but. hope, and anticipate, that some future Gazette will announce the restoration of Admiral Lord Coon RANE to the service of his KING and country. We oberve, from our City CORRESPONDENT'S COM gunication, that some conceive an expression of the peech, to look a little towards the possibility of inter national differences, arising from the affairs of Greece and Algiers. There is a paragraph, undoubtedly, which alludes to " the settlement of matters, which remain to be finally arranged." That there are such matters, cannot be denied ; and his MAJESTY only expresses, in alluding to them, what was known, accompanied by the expres sion of natural confidence, that the good understanding which prevails on subjects of common interest, will in sure their satisfactory settlement. The City criticism on this Speech fully shows, what an important declaration a KING'S Speech is in this country; and how every sentence has to undergo not only a micro scopic scrutiny, but to be subjected to examination through media of a most distorting tendency. How essential, then, it is, that every syllable be well considered ; and that nothing be uttered but what his MAJESTY, and his advisers, unitedly consider, as just communicating what is wanted and necessary—and no more. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We are again without any arrivals this moring of the least importance, consequently we have a great dearth of information. His MAJESTY'S Speech is, in general, thought to be the best production for a tenth of time past ; but the speculators are anxious for an explanation of one part of the Speech, which is supposed to allude to Greece and Algiers- An express has arrived from Paris, but the contents have not as yet transpired. Consols opened at the same price as yesterday, 921 j for the account, and soon after were done at 92j, at present may be quoted 92j.. In the foreign market no business doing as yet. The King of Prussia has sent a present to the King of the Sandwich Wands, a full uniform dress of the first regiment of guards, with the insignia of the order of the black eagle, in return of a military cloak covered with feathers. We have received New York papers, one day later, to the 2d July, at the Math and South American Coffee house, by the London Line of packet ship, Haxibal, that paper says :—We have the Caracas Gazette to the 16th of June. Venezuela is fully organized as an independent state ; and her Congress have retained Gen. Paez as her civil and military Chief. His Message to the Congress is cpntained in the Official Gazette of the 4th June, and dated Head-quarters, San Carlos. By an arr i va l at Salem, from the River Plate, they give accounts of a fresh commotion in the New States of Montevedio. The G overnor rteigned ; and Gen. Lavelle was to 611 his place ; but Gen. Rondesent a protest aga i ns t t h e de cree of the House, decl aring his resignation. CITY, H.ILP-PAST ONE. Nothing has as yet transpired in regard to the express from Paris, as it is supposed it only brings the prices of the French Funds. Consols continue steady, to the pre sent. hour, at 92f for the account, with little or no boohoos doing. The Foreign Market is also in a stagnant state. The Share Market is at a stand.

The Earl of Mounteharles has resigned the office of Master of the Robes to the King, and has been succeeded by Sir Charles Pole. The King of Wurtemberg landed at the Tower-stairs at seven o'clock yesterday morning, from the lightning steam-packet, which had conveyed his Majesty from Bou logne. Lord Clinton, one of the Lords in Waiting, and Colonel Fitzclarence, received the King, and attended his Majesty in one of the King's carriages, which was wait ing at Grillon's Hotel, where apartments had been taken for the King. About nine o'clock yesterday morning, his Britannic Majesty, accompanied by Lord Clinton and Colonel Fitz clarence, arrived at Grillon's Hotel in a private carriage. to pay a congratulatory visit, and remained about half an hour in company with the King. The King of Wurtemberg went to the Palace at St. James's, and paid his respects to the Queen. The Duke of Cumberland, the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Glocester, and Prince Frederick of Prussia, called at Grillon's hotel in the course of the day, and paid their respects to the King on his arrival in this country. The King of Wurtemburg afterwards went to the House of Lords to hear his Majesty deliver his speech, on closing the session of Parliament. His Britannic Majesty, on arriving at the House of Peers, waited a few minutes till he was joined by the King of Wurtemberg, whom his Majesty took with him into the house. The King and Queen gave a grand dinner in the evening, at the Palace at St. James's, to the King of Wurtemberg, in honour of his Majesty's arrival. The male and female members of the Royal Family, and a select party of the nobility and gentry, were present to meet the King. The King of Wurtemberg is considered in cognito, and is travelling under the name of Count de Teck. _ His Majesty went in etato yesterday to the House of Peers, for the purpose of closing the Session of Par liament. _ The King's Guards were drawn out with their state colours ; the Band in their state uniforms in the principal court-yard of the Palace. The Yeomen Guard, who were in waiting in the state rooms through which the King passed in going to his carriage, and also those who walked in the procession, wore their coronation dresses. About half-past one o'clock the procession began to form. Four Marshalmen, two and two. The first car riage drawn by four bays. In this were Mr. Martin and Captain Hatton, two Gentlemen Übhers, and the Exon, Mr. Monk. The second carriage, drawn by four bays. In this carriage were Sir Andrew Barnard, the Equerry in Wait ing, and the Page of Honour. In the third carriage, which was drawn by four bays, were Sir William Freemantle, the Treasurer of the House hold; Sir Charles Pole, as Master of the Robes; the Marquis of Hastings, as Lord, and the Hon. Cecil Fo rester, the Groom in Waiting. The fourth carriage, drawn by six find black horses of the Hanoverian stud. In this were the Duke of Buck ingham, as Lord Steward ; the Earl of Macclesfield, as Captain of the Yeomen Guard ; Viscount Combermero, as Gold Stick in Waiting ; and Lord Glenlyon, as Lord in Waiting. Twenty-six of the King's servants in livery, two and two The state coach, drawn by eight cream-coloured horses, a groom to each horse, driven by Mr. Roberts, the state coachman, the Yeoman Guard walking in front and at the sides of the carriage. The King entered the car riage at twenty minutes before two o'clock ' • the band of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards struck up " God save the King." The Duke of Leeds, as Master of the Horse, and the Marquis of Winchester, as First Lord in Waiting, rode in the carriage with his Majesty. The Queen, accompanied by the female members of the Royal Family, appeared on the leads of the colonnade, at the west side of the Court-yard, for the purpose of wit nessing the procession. Her Majesty led by the hand the Princess Victoria, the Duchess of Kent retaining the other band of the Princess : the Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Princess Sophia, stood near the Queen, who was also attended by the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse to her Majesty, her Majesty's Chamberlain,• and the other officers of the household, together with all the ladies in waiting. The Queen and party removed to the room on the first floor at the south side of the Palace, for the purpose of having a better view of the procession, and then proceeded to the garden, to see it pass down the Park. His Majesty returned to the Palace at five minutes after three o'clock. Over the Admiral's uniform in which the King was habited, his Majesty wore a purple velvet mantle with a large star on the left side, having a cape of ermine. This robe was, it is understood, worn on similar occasions by King George I. King George ILI and King George 111. On passing through the entre room to the state rooms the crowd recognised the King, and expressed the loudest acclamations. His Majesty paused before an open window, and bowed twice gracefully to the assembled multitude. The King and Queen took an airing in an open be rouch in the afternoon, in the Regent's-park and its neighbourhood. The Queen dined with the Princess Augusta on Thura day, at her residence, in the King's Palace, St. James's. The French Ambassador had an interview with the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday at the Foreign-office. Among the presentations at the King s levee, Captain Carden, R.N. by Lord Melville, who had the honour to kiss hands. HINTS TO A YOUNG LORD OP TN% BEDCUANBIR, A lord of the Bedchamber should never be drunk, either at Ascot Races or at any ether time or place ; except he be commanded to be drunk ; of which command a Lord of the Bedchamber is now in no danger. A Lord of the Bedchamber, whether he be a young Lord or an old one, or whether he be a Marquis or a simple Baron, has no right to train Newfoundland puppies to fetch and carry the boots and shoes of travellers who are fast asleep in their inn ; neither has he any right to instigate the said Newfoundland puppies to worry and despoil the said boots and shoes—inasmuch as the owners thereof might have their actions against him for the damage thereof. Moreover, it is very unseemly in a Lord of the Bed. chamber—let the politics of himself or his progenitors be what they may—it is very unseemly in him to be pelting the plaster bust of the Premier for the time being ;— either with the boots or shoes of the sleeping travellers aforesaid, or with any other matter or thing whatever ; and it is equally unseemly in him, as a Lord of the Bed chamber, to screech with delight.when he taketh the said Premier on the tip of the nose with the heel of a Willing. ton boot, and shivereth his bust to bits. Neither can a Lord of the Bedchamber who has so demeaned him self, recover his dignity by paying the waiter double the value of the bust so dirtily demolished. But in all things, a Lord of the Bedchamber should Conduct himself soberly and discreetly ; in such manner that no man may take exceptions to him, or accuse the King of having rulers and wash bucklers in his train.—Herald. MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COURT. We understand that the following appointments have been made:—PHYSICIANS IN ORDIIIATY TO HIS MA JESTY.—Sir G. Blane, Bart. Sir H. Halford, Bart. Sir M . Tierney, Bart. PHYSICIANS EXTRAORDINARY.—Si r J. Macgrigor, Dr. Maton, Dr. Warren—Dr. Matins chael. PHYSICIAN TO THE HOUSEHOLD.—Dr. F. Haw. kins.—SE RJ EA NT SURGEONS. — Sir E. Home, Bart. Sir A.

PHYSICIANS EXTRAORDI NA RY.—Dr. Turner, Dr. Southey, Dr. Locock. Su it- G EON TO THE QUEEN AND TO HER MAJESTY'S Het - •,:-. llOLD.—Robert Keate, Esq. The above are all those that we have ascertained with tolerable certainty, but there are several other appoint. ments which still remain to be made. The apothecary's department is not, we believe, definitively settled. Mr. Davies, of Hampton, is appointed domestic medical attendant to his Majesty. The office of surgeon to the Person, which was created by his late Majesty for an especial purpose, is to be discontinued, as not constituting a regular part of the Royal establishment. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex has ap pointed Dr. Seymour, Physician of St. George's Hos pital, to be one of the physicians in ordinary.—From tki London Medical Gazette of July 24. The Captain of the Prussian ship " Princess Louise.' on the occasion of his last trip to the Pacific, was in trusted by the King of the Sandwich Isles with a war mantle of feathers, as a present for the King of Prussia. His Prussian Majesty has sent his Sandwich Majesty, in return, a full dress uniform of the first regiment of the guards, together with the insignia of the Order of the Black Eagle. An erroneous impression, or, as Sir Thomas Browne would call it, a " vulgar error," iscurrent among the lower orders, that black cloth used at a royal funeral becomes common property the moment the procession has passed ; the usual scramble commenced at Windsor on the ht, occasion ; the police, however, were on the alert, and a couple of shoemakers, named Dykes and Seward, inha bitants of the town, were taken into custody with about 30 yards of cloth, torn from the platform, in their posses session. At their examination on Saturday they admit ted the fact, and defended it upon the plea of privilege : but the Magistrate assured them that no right of the kind existed, and but for the good character produced by both of them, they would have been infallibly committed for the felony. They were then discharged. DuEt....Yesterday morning, about ten minutes after five o'clock, a meeting took place about 250 yards from the Eyre Tavern, St. John's Wood, in a field adjoining the New Finchley turnpike-road, between a Lieutenant of the Royal Navy and a gentleman connected with the Stock Exchange. After an exchange of shots, at eight paces, without any mischief being sustained on either side, the seconds interposed, and succeeded in arranging. affairs in an amicable manner, by the Lieutenant making an apology to Mr. S. The affair originated at the Hay market Theatre on Wednesday evening last, in conse quence of the Lieutenant looking a young lady (the niece of Mr. S.) out of countenance several times during the evening at the theatre, while under his protection. Each party and their friends retired to post-chaises that were in waiting for them in the New Finchley turnpike-road. and immediately drove off with all speed for London. A SUCCESSFUL IRISH MANCEUVRE.—The follow ing curious occurrence actually took place during the late American war :—" A marine, named Patrick Gallaghan, behaved with great coolness and presence of mind, while posted at some distance from a working party on shore. Observing five American horsemen ride down to the corner of a wood, from whence three of them galloped towards him, he immediately got behind a hay-stack. cocked his musket, and waited their approach : they passed without seeing him, and dismounted ; when he instantly culled out, " Surrender, you rascals ! I have you all in a line, and will shoot you altogether if you do not throw down your arms !" They immediately com plied, and he marched them before him, horses and all. to the beach. Unfortunately, this brave fellow was unfit for promotion, being too fond of strong drink, and there fore could not bo rewarded. MELANCHOLY OCCITERENCE.—During the last week, Mr. Stephens, of Callan, with his characteristic sympathies for the poor, ordered two of his sheep to he killed each week for their use, until the eud of Septem ber next. The two first were killed last week, and in cautiously boiled in copper vessels, which had not been used for a considerable time before, and were, in conse quence, rusted with incrustations of verdigris. Several of the poor bad portions of the soup served out to them, and the result is, that three died on Saturday ; two more up to yesterday, and twenty-five are in a state which leaves no hope of their recovery.— Kilkenny Journal of Tuesday. A guinea of the reign of King James the Second was dug up in a field at Shanagolden, in the county Limerick, the last week, by two labourers. The poor fellows had not tasted food for 24 hours previous, and were almott fainting from weakness when PROVIDENCE gave them this welcome relief. They sold the coin for 21.—Limerick Chronicle. About a fortnight since a man, woman, and one child. came to Boston, and took up their abode at the Dog and Duck public-house, the man calling the woman his wife. and living together as such. They hired a house and shop in Wormgate, with the intention of commencing the baking business, but on Saturday se'nnight a man ar rived from Manchester, who proved to be the real Simon Pure, the gay Lothario being a journeyman in his em ploy. The parties contrived to abscond after the hus band's arrival, but were retaken at Huntingdon. We learn that the husband had long determined upon emigra ting to America ; and, like many other honest people who go there, was after leaving his creditors in the lurch. He had accumulated 3001. with this intention, and placed it in his wife's hands, who suddenly took a fancy to the journeyman they employed, and off they bolted, leaving the Master of the Rolls alone, but not in his glory. When the woman was searched, the only remnant of the money was 100 sovereigns in a small bag, concealed under her cap; but when searched at Huntingdon 107 more were found. The simple husband has taken his wife again, the journeyman has been sent into the world to seek his fortune, and the Fair Penitent is gone home.—Boston Gazette. PRATING TOR TUE DEAD.--The prayer for the soul St his late Majesty by the clergyman who preached the ihneral sermon at Windsor, is not without precedent. 'Thsant Bishop of Bath and Wells, Dr. Law, on a funeral sermon for the Princess Charlotte, ed his preparatory prayer with a supplication for •her Royal Highness's soul. One of the most eminent of the German reformers, Urban Regius, founder of the Reformed Church at Augsburg, superintendent of the churches of Brunswick Lnnenburg, and a vehe ment opponent of the Papal Church, was of opinion that we should pray for the dead. It is not a doctrine of any Protestant church. la
