THE KING. The Bulletin of his NIAJEaTv's health issued yestor day was as follows : " WINDSOR CASTLE, MAY 2, 1830. " The Kigo's symptoms have not varied. His MAJESTY has M ashed another bad night. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. "MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." The Duke of WELLINGTON was at the Palace yes terday and Saturday, and remained some time on both days. Earl MouNTCIIARLES left the Palace on Satur day evening for London. Both the physicians remain in close attendance on the KING. Copies of the bulletin wore forwarded to the Duke of CLARENCE and others of the Royal Family. It was understood in the minis terial circles that on Saturday His MAJESTY experienced a change for the better ; but it appears, by the bulletin issued yesterday, that it has not been lasting. The bul letin was shown to the Nobility and Gentry on Saturday in the Presence Chamber, at the IC two's Palace, St. James's, by Earl Howe, as Lord in Waiting, Mr. HOPE, as Groom in Waiting, and. Sir H. Via , tax, as Equerry to his MAJEST Y. Yesterday the bulletin was shown by Lord ST. HELENS, who came into Waiting yesterday. General FINCH was Groom, and Sir H. VIVIAN the Equerry. The ball room was thrown open for the recep tion of the company, and they retired by the entre. The throng was very great on both days, especially yesterday, and a number of persons were collected each day at the entrance to the Palace, previous to the doors being opened, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the bulletin. During the time that the bulletins were shown there was a constant influx of the Nobility and Gentry, 6,000 of whom entered their names. THE KING'S HEA LT ii.—The public solicitude for the restoration of the Ktwo's health naturally increases with the in. crease of the vague rumours and contradictory statements which the daily papers continue to put forth, in the absence of official in. formation. That conflicting opinions, however, should be entertained by those who have such slender materials on which to form a cor. rect judgment, will not appear surprising when it is known, that such is the singular nature of his MAJESTY'S indisposition, that two opinions even exist among those who possess the very best means of arriving at a just conclusion. This explanation, which may be relicd on as authentic, will go a great way in accounting fur the otherwise unintelligible mystery which appears to have been observed towards the public on this painfully-interesting subject. It is almost needless for us to declare, that we are entirely without any definite information as to the precise nature of the complaint ; but we have reasons for repeating, what we advanced last week, — namely, that it is of a spasmodic character, and unattended by in flammation. It is with sincere pleasure, too, that we are at length enabled to speak on a topic which has not been adverted to, that we recollect, by any one of our Ktmes progress to awndesa uporaries,—we allude to the The Royal Patient, though still keeping his room, is not now confined to his bed ; he is cheer. fal ; frequently rallies ; and Is full of hope. It is also gratifying to know, that on the part of those in immediate attendance on His MAJESTY, there is the same cheering confidence, and we have rea son to trust in the undoubted skill of the medical attendants, and in His 11A3111T1r8 naturally fine constitution for his speedy restore. tion to health.— Windsor Express. TAE KING.-Still are we obliged to continue the re port vs made last week—our beloved and popular monarch Is seri ously indisposed. There is no screening the fact that his MAPCIITY has been in imminent danger, and we fear is even now in such a state of bodily indisposition as must excite the most painful appre hensions in the breasts of his subjects. And here will we enter our solemn protest against the vague and loose style in which the midi csibulletins are announced to the people--they state anything but the true cause of the Sovereign's ailment, and are calculated only to mislead when they should Inform, aid to excite fear when they should encourage hope. We have the best reason to believe that his Majesty's Ministers are not in fault—that this culpable indifference to public feeling is directly contrary to the expressed wishes of the Duke of Wellington—lierkshire Chronicle. LETTER IN THE MORNING HERALD.-WINDSOR, ituNDAY EVENING.—The Sunday London joumalists—those culler* of simples in the literary garden of the past week—are " imagining the death of the Kisco" with all their might today; and, in order to compass it the more effectually, they are heaping upon him maladies multitudinously :—" Water on the chest ;" (fusion of the extremities ;" " spasms of the viscera ;" " ossifies. tan of the heart ;" " ingoontration VIA* prostrate gland ;" and other aortal ailments—.the least a death to nature. Truly, as Shake. spearearlgar says, if the KING could have been swagger'd out of his life, it would not have been so long ss it is by a good ten years You may rest assured, however, that his Blaszsvv's physicians have not yet discovered the presence of any of those deadly die. eases in their Royal patient; you may be well assured, too, !list they do not consider— nor have their bulletins even hinted that they considered—any cause for serious alarm; and that his 1 urn- y himself anticipates no such awful result as his laving literary lieges have prepared for him, may be gathered iron , the feet of there having been this day brought to the Lode a chair, of a new construction, for his MAJESTY'S are on quitting his bed.chamber. It was brought from London II parts, and workmen have been busily engaged all this morn. In! in putting it together. If the " speculators for a decline" should hold this to be a fact " unworthy of notice," I will in my tt mention another which perhaps may have more weight with than. I have not time to mention it now. There is no balietin inued here; and the nobility, gentry, aid commonalty, of the loyal and Royal borough of New Windsor and its vicinity, are damned to wait for their official information touching the lEtwo's btalth until the arrival of the London newspapers on the day fol. 60 ton the arrival of the bulletin from Windsor Castle. Conse. firstly I cannot transmit you a copy of this day's bulletin ; but that is of little consequence, as it will be exhibited at,St. James's Palate before you receive this. lino/ever, I will vent& to predict it ail announce the Rise to have been disturbed by occasional ztoborrasaments in his breathing during the night, and that his %scars. is no worse today than he was yesterday.

Roe: ma's Opera of William Tell, or rather the Musk of that Opera, was produced at this Theatre ow Saturday night, with very great and very deserved suceess. The title of the new drama is Hofer ; or, The Tell of the Tyrol. This substitu tion of a patriot and a country in which the main characteristics of the original story are so well preserved as to render the music equally appropriate, is the ingenious idea and work of Mr. PLANCHH; the reason of his being driven to such a contrivance is the obvious one of the previous uses which had been made of the subject of Tn.'. in so many shapes upon our stage.— The historical incident on which the piece is founded is the revolt of the Tyrolese against the tyranny of Bavaria. Josephine N.. greed (Madame Vzsrars), whom the author states to be an his torical personage," who "assumed the dress of a man, and was se. veral times in action with the sharp-shooters," is made to be the cousin of Bertha (Miss Srtrustra), who is the betrothed of Wal ter (Mr. Siocuare), and is carried off by the Bavarians while the bridal festivities are proceeding. It is upon this outrage that Hofer is made to rouse the peasanty to seek immediate ven. geance, and her pursuit and recovery form the second incident under that of the conspiracy and triumph of the patriots. This plot is simple, but it is conducted with the tact of an experienced dra matist, who avails himself of every incident, and of all the means at his command, for rendering the action effective.—The whole per. formance reflects high credit upon the Theatre, and upon almost all that were engaged in it. PHILLIPS acquitted himself in his new si tuation so u to acquire new admiration and new fame. His scene Is the second act was entirely first-rate. His firm, pure, and certain re. citative, his execution in the air, and expression and tone in the movement " Thou who art mercy !" were perfect. The applause of the whole house, that part of it which but seldom applauds being the most vehement, testified the delight produced by this master effort. Slocum', too, had here the first real opportunity of ahem. ing what Italy had done for him. There can be no doubt in stating that there is no other dramatic singer at present imu.ediately before the public who could approach his performance of Saturday night. His share in the concerted pieces, as well as in the soil abounded with proofs that he well understood the feellas Pa o s f ill tre s i; great writer, and had informed himself of the best means by which that feeling could be effectively expressed. His share, and that of PHILLIPS, in the trio where he is first made acquainted with the loss of Bertha, were admirably sustained. Mier STEPHIIIS had an opportunity of being herself in some of the little snatches of mountain song, which Bonin has adopted with such del4htful Act. Madame Vamps gained great applause in the leash sharp-shooter, a great deal of which, however, was bestowed upon Imit costume. The scenery, the grouping, and all the business of IN slags, were of the highest order, and conducted to a miracle for a /wt night. The audience received the whole with enthusiasm, sal beam( fail to have a successful sun. The house was crowded. The Annual Concert of the new Musical Fund took place on Friday evening, at the Opera House, under the able management of Sir GEORGE SWART, on which occasion a number of vocal and instrumental performers of the greatest celebrity gave their services, and delighted s crowded audience." Prince ESTERIIAZT gave a musical party on Friday evening, at which Hummer. displayed his extraordinary talents on the pianoforte : Mad. STOCKHAUSEN warbled several of her beautiful Swiss melodies, accompanied on the harp by M.STOCIEHAUSEW, delightfully ; W. SED LATZ EK performed a fantasia on the flute ; and M. Pon- CHARD sung a variety of arias with great taste : his voice is a tenor of a good, although not a powerful, qua lity of tone The Committee of Drury-lane Theatre had appointed Saturday, at twelve o'clock, to receive tenders, and de cide on the person who should become the future lessee. Up to a late period of the morning but one tender had been sent in ; but on the committee assembling, them were, it is said, no less than six offers. We are cre dibly informed that Mr. Charles Wright, the box-office keeper, offers 9,0001. per annum, and that Mr. Bunn, who came from Dublin for the purpose, has made an offer of 8,0001. Among the candidates are, we under stand, Kean, Wallack, and Braham. The day for the acceptance of one of these gentlemen is fixed for next Saturday week. LISTON has nearly finished his provincial tour, where, if he has not added to his fame, for that is already at its height, he has added not a little to his wealth. Although the country theatres, generally, are not in a flourishing condition, this inimitable comedian managed to draw crowded audiences in every town he visited. MsTuzws's comic Annual for 1830, at the Adelphi Theatre, drew crowded audiences during the last week. This entertainment contains more abundance of original incident, frolic, and fun, than even his previous most suc cessful pieces. The songs are written with great spirit, and are adapted, with peculiar taste, to popular tunes ; the burtben of each song, or the patter, as it is called, is in itself a little Drama, and is delivered by MATHEWS in his happiest manner. PEAKE, the dramatic writer, is the reputed author of this delightful olio. In a letter addressed to a Sunday Paper, relative to the sudden termination of Mrs. WAYLETT'S en gagement with the Tottenham-street Theatre, Mr. CHAPMAN says, " The reason of this lady being discharged from our establishment was, in conse quence of her refusing to perform, unless her name was printed in the bills of the day much larger than that of Mrs. FITZWILLIAM (as she expressed herself), or any other lady or gentleman who, at any future period, might join the present company while she was connected with it, be that name or talent whatever it might. With this extraordinary request Mr. MELROSE and myself re fused to comply, at the same time stating, unless she al lowed her name to remain in the bills, as usual, she must quit the theatre." Other causes of quarrel are also men tioned, but they are rather matters of private than a pub lic nature. On Thursday evening last six persons (five women and one man) were publicly baptized, by immersion, at Ebenezer Chapel, Richmond-street, i n this town. ag Reverend Joseph Sedgwick, the Minister of the chapel, officiated on the occasion, assisted by hi s Deacons. vious to the performance of the ceremony an appropriate discourse was delivered, to a numerous and attentive con gregation, from the sth chapter of the First General Epistle of John, 3d verse—" And bis commandments not grievous."—Brighton Herald.

The Duke and Duchess of St. Albans gave a grand fete champetre on Saturday lut, at Holly Lodge, their villa at Illgh-1 gate. The entertainment was not on that extensive scale as stated' in some of the Journals on Saturday, nor were the visiters so nu. merous. About 900 persons only were present, many of the trost distinguished persons invited being absent on account of his Majes. ty's indisposition.--The entertainments were, as usual, of a diversified description. The grounds were laid out with great taste, and an - . additional number of rare exotics were arranged in all pails of the walks. Several marques were erected, and the large open pa. vilion on the lawn was appropriated to quadrille dancing. A May. pole was erected in the centre of the lawn, decorated with a profusion of ribands of all colours. On a pedestal was placed, for the in spection of the company, a gold cup of very chaste workmanship, from Mr. Hamlet's manufactory, intended to be presented by hie Grace to be run foe at the Lincoln races for the present year. It was much admired by the company. A target was also erected, with a suitable quantity of bows and arrows, for the amuse. ment of that portion of the company who took a pleasure in archery. There was likewise a company of moms dancers, who perambulated the grounds with the pipe and tabour. In the mine of the afternoon the Prague Minstrels, in their native costume, presented themselves before the company, and performed several national airs and military marches; the " Reydowatska" and " ICalamayka," Bohemian country dances, and the " Hunter's Call," with echo, were favourably received, and excited applause. Dancing commenced at three o'clock, It eippert's band being sta. tioned on the lawn. At five o'clock the dejeune ala fourchette was announced to the visiters by the sounding of a large Chinese " gong." The repast consisted of every delicacy, and the wines were of the choicest description, provided under the direction and superintendence of Messrs. Gunter& Dancing shortly afterwards recommenced, and was kept up till ten o'clock, when the company began to retire. The fineness of the weather added much to the gratifying scene. THE MARQUIS AND MARCHIONESS OF SA, LiSBURY'S ENTERTAINMENT. A sumptuous entertainment was given on Saturday last, by the above distinguished poems, at their mansion in Graf. ton-street, on the occasion of the baptismal ceremony taking place of their infant son. Their Royal Highnessesthe Duke and Duchess of Gloucester bad promised to stand sponsors, but owing to the King's illness, were prevented being present. The company invited to dinner having arrived, the ceremony eff baptism was performed by Dr. Wellesley, the infant receiving the name and addition of " Lord Robert Cecil," his Grace the Duke of Wellington and Earl Talbot, and (we believe) the Countess of Aber. deers, standing sponsors. On the termination of the ceremony those present retired to the grand dining.room, where a sumptuous dinner was laid out. Covers were laid for 24, and the following were amongst those who sat down to dinner The Duke of Wellington, Marquis and Marchioness of London. deny, Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury, Earl and Countess of Aberdeen, Marquis and Marchioness of Downehire, Earl Talbot, Lord Valletort, Lady Cecil Talbot, Dr. Wellesley, Min Wellesley, Mr. John Talbot, &c. In the evening her Ladyship gave • rout, on which occasion the whole suite of splendid apartments were thrown open to a very nu. maous assemblage of the most distinguished persons. Mr. Pettigrew's " Convereazione," last Wednesday, was a most interesting meeting. The Prince Cimitelli and several illustrious foreigners were present. The Duke of Sussex was absent in consequence of the lamented in disposition of his MAJESTY. The rooms were exceed ingly crowded with visitors, and the tables covered with treasures in art and literature. SAINT MONDAY ABOLISIIED.—Sunday week, pub lic announcement was made from the altars of the several chapels in Limerick, of a rescript from his Holiness the Pope, striking out Easter Monday from the list of holi days in the Roman Catholic church. The King's illness has caused many of the parties at the west end of the town to be thinly attended. The precarious state of the health of the King has operated prejudicially on the spring trade in some branches of the manufactures, particularly in those branches which are called fancy trades.—Leeds Mer cury. The parish-clerk of the Clive, near Grinshill, was lately desired to give out that the Reverend Mr. W— would preach at tho chapels of Clive and Broughton alternately ; instead of which he actually gave out that the Reverend Gentleman would preach at the Clive and . Broughton to "all eternity !" According to the late Margravine of ANSPACII, who was no incompetent judge of such matters, foreign musi cal talent, to which we pay so much deference, stands not very high in the scale of general intellect; as she declared that in her time most of the principal singers at Naples could neither read nor write. A few days since, as Sir P. and Lady LAURIE were rid ing on horseback, in the neighbourhood of Portman square, her Ladyship's horse suddenly reared, and falling backwards upon her, broke five of her ribs and her collar bone. Fortunately Mr. WILIGIIT, a surgeon, was passing at the moment, and from his prompt attention and that of Mr. PETTIGREW, her Ladyship is now rapidly recovering from the effects of the accident. Last week the tall gentleman who wished to see the K 'NG left Windsor, as did also the officers from Bow street, who, during their stay in Windsor, have bad no sinecure, as the mysterious personage proved to be a most excellent pedestrian, and frequently gave the officers a treat by starting off at the rate of six miles an hour for a walk, and continuing to travel at the same pace till he thought he had given them a good appetite for dinner, by enabling them to inhale the salubrious air and dust in the vicinity of Windsor : they all declared they never before met with such " a ruin 'un to go," and expressed their entire satisfaction on finding that he had made up his mind (classically speaking) to " cut his stick," and wend his way towards London. _ .

Among the company Mr Lot ic.i! t h e Earl of Hardwicke, Lord Bexley, Lord Radstock, Lord :k linersdale, the Hon. lie. Arden, the Hon. C. J Shore, At one „clock the Earl of HARDIVICILE took the Clair; o.: which the report was read. It states that the proceedings ut• ' the year went to prove the safety and propriety with which street beggars might be left to the attention of the Society.— The total number of cases registered for iusestigation had been thminished from 1,284 to 671 during the last year, whilst, in the same period, the cases entered on the books had in. enased from 5,297 to 8,566, consisting at applicants from every quarter of the globe, who had been relieved, some of whose case* were of the most distressing nature. The min.ber of Irish applications had considerably increased, the total being, in 1838, 2,816 ; and in 1829, 3,656 ; and the Society felt themselves bound to suggest some legislative enactment to prevent this annual incursion. The mill and dressing machine for the employment of vagrants had been used, except in the late cold weather, when the IT plicathms were so numerous that its operations were suspended foe that peri : this was an excellent mode to distieguish the idle from the incustrlous ; out of 1,8 0 men employed in this way, 207 ab sconded ; and out of 562 women, 105 ran away rather than work. although each had only to work three hours per day for a meal.— The Society had diminished their expensesby the dismissal of sonic of their constables. One-third of the persons taken before the Ma gistrates had been apprehended by the Society's officers, and a great decrease of street vagrancy had been noticed since the introduction of the metropolitan police. The Han. Mr. Sumas and Lord Beximr spoke in high terms of the Society, and expressed their satisfaction with the report. Lords SZELMEREIDALE and RADSTOCIL delivered their eemi ments in the saute strain. Captain BILLITON, R.N. felt satisfied with the proceedings of the Society, but was confident that nothing but agricultural employ ment would tend to ameliorate the condition of the.poor. The relit!' afforded by the Committee was of great advantage, and lie admired their system ; but he contended against the argument that agricul tural employment would tend to Increase the population. He knew from experience that it would afford goat benefit to an classes. Sevetal other gentlemen delivered their sentiments ; and thank• having been voted to the Noble Chairman, a collection was made, and the meeting separated. ANTI-DUELLING MEETING. A meeting was held on Thursday, at lklorrisson's great rooms, Dublin, to take into consideration the best means o! preventing the breach of courtesy and waste of life in society. On the motion of Mr John Milky Doyle, K.C.B. Mr. Bennett took the chair, and read the requisition, which assembled the meeting. lily. JOSEPH HAMILTON said he did not conceive he would b. doing a duty to the public if he entered there into a discussion of the objects for which the meeting was held. The absence of many gentlemen of rank and respectability who had promised to attend, and were high authorities on the subject in which he took so gran an interest, made him disposed to postpone any decisive proceed ings until he could have the benefit of their presence. He would et present merely propose that a committee b. appointed to take the matter into consideration, and propose a petition to the legislature to revise the laws that relate to duelling, and to establish a society, or court of honour, for the prevention of that vice. Mr. HAMILTON read long extracts from a book on the subject if duellis t ; to the meeting. The Rev. Mr. 31.Cax..., after expressing his thanks to the gen tleman who had just sat down, said he thought that a court at hemour was not calculated to effect the gentleman's object, and that religion was the proper basis for such a purpose. He alluded to the late unfortunate duel in this city, which had created a great public prejudice respecting duelling, and which, he said, influenced men to overlook their duty to Goa, their King, and the law. The press, the clergy, the law, and pub lic opinion were, in a great measure, with them In t heir oppo sition to duelling ; and, if founded on religion, • society might be formed for its suppression. He did not speak without authority wbea be said, there was a society in progress of formation , uniting rank, talent, honor, and respectability, not to be disputed% that it would soon ppuablish its pril#l 3l .l9 which embodied these Premed by the geae3smsa who had previously spoken, and extended the basis, and Improved the order of the arrangement—for It made re ligion its aid ground; and he would, therefore, propose that ibis meeting should dissolve, to identify itself with the society to which he had alluded. _ _ _ in — Sir J .--- oux MILLZY Dow-it said, that he in much that had fallen from Mr. Wens, but be filmed the the Rev. Gentleman had given of the world was as the might to be, and not as it really was; duelling, he homed e mid set be alto. gether abolished, though he was aware that amedi adight be dime to prevent the necessity of a too frequent appeal to that epodes alsebi. triment. Mr. 111Txurroci wished to know, before be adarmasil the meeting, whether the proposed code and court of honour sandissi duelling under any circumstances ? Mr. HAMILTON explained, and entered on a reply to Mr. Werea._ The CHAIRWAN interposed, and several explanations took place between the gentlemen who had spoken. Col. PALLiszn proposed a resolution—that a conference should take place between some of the gentlemen wbo supported the esta blishment of a court of honor, and some of those engaged in forming the society which Mr. M'Cres advocated, which was agreed to. We understand that the Right Rev. Hon. Doctor But son, Bishop of Clonfert, is dangerously ill ; indeed there is no hope of his recovery. He is upwards of 90 years of age. Rumour is busy in assigning his successor, should the mitre become vacant. 'file most general opi nion, however, is, that it will be filled by the Hon. and Very Reverend the Dean of Leighlin, son of the Right Hon. the Earl of Bandon, and brother-in-law to our newly-elected representative peer, Lord Viscount Done raile.—Limerie4 Chronicle.
