'HE KING'S COURT. Vecterday his MAJESTY held a Court at his Palate in Pall-mall. At three o'clock, a Guard of Honour s under the command of Colonel HIGGINS, marched into the Court-yard, preceded by the band of the Sa Regiment of Foot Guards, in their state uni forms, the Head Drum Major with his silver stick covered with crape ; the state colours covered with crape, and the Officers wearing crape scarfs, and crape on their hats. A detachment of the Life Guards arrived in Waterloo-place, opposite the Pa lace, about the same time, with their colours covered with crape, preceded by their band of sixteen trum pets and trombones, kettle-drums, tamborines, &c. The porters at the gates of the Palace appeared in deep mourning; with bags, &c. The yeomen of the Guard lined the Grand Hall in dresses of black, of similar make to their scarlet uniforms, with also their belts of black, the hilts of tlyzir swords covered with crape, their dresses orna wilted with the Royal Arms, &c. their partizans were covered with crape. The Gentlemen Porters and Pages appeared in deep Court mourning, weepers, &c.—ln the Octagon Hall were the Gen tlemen Pensioners, in the same dresses as they a.r: - pear ed at the funeral of the late KING, except their splendid scarlet coats. Mr. GARDNER and Mr. Srv moon, the Grooms of the Great Chamber, were also in attendance in the same places His MA.trary had appointed yesterday for tilt time of receiving the Addresses of the Corporation of the City of London upon the dcmisc of the late King, and his own Accession to the Throne, but on account of the Kis° net having recovered his strength from his late indisposition, he requested that only a Deputation of the Corporation might attend him, which of course prevented the assembly from being so numerous as it otherwise would have been. A little before four, the Procession from the City arrived in the following order: Four Diarshabnen on foot, in their uniform; six of the Lotd Mayor's Foetuses in deep mourning, on foot ; the two City Marshals in their splendid dresses, on horseback ; the Cap of Maintenance and the Sword of State, both of which were lower ed on their entracte into the Palace; the Right Hon. George I:ri,lges, the Lord Mayor, in his splendid robes; the Gentlemen of his Lordship's Household. Aldermen Sir William Curtis, Sir Charles Flower, Sir Clau dius Ilunter, Scholey, Birch, Wood, Magnay, Heygate, Cos, Waithn'an, and Rothwellt Sir John Silvester, the Recorder of London ; Newman KtKiwlys, Esq. the Common Serjeant ; the Sheriffs Bothwell :lid Parkins; the Undtr Sheriffs, Turner and Pullen; George Norton, Esq. the Common I'leader ; 'Thomas Tyrrell, Esq. the Nemembrancer ; the Town Clerk ; the Hall Keeper, &c. Mr. Dizon and Mr. &twin, the Gentlemen of the Court of Common Coundl, who snowed and seconded the Address ; a'so Mr. Deputy Greenaway, Mr. Robert Elliott, of the Deputation, Mr. Eyton, dca They were conducted Into his MAJESTY'S presence by Mr. MARSH, the Gentleman Usher in Waiting, the LORD CHAMBERLAIN, and Marquis of HEADFORT, as the Lord in Waiting. The Addresses were read by the RECORDER, as follows: " MOST GRACIOUS SOTRRISICIS! " Your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the Qty of London, approach your Royal Persun ' to congratulate your Majesty upon your happy Acces sion to the Imperial Crown of this United Kingdom, and to of fer our condolence on the affecting loss which your Majesty and the Nation have sustained, in the demise of your Royal Father, our late Most Gracious Sovereign—an event which cannot fail to pierce With the most affectionate regret the heart of every s,:hject, to the remotest corner of the Empire. " Occupying the exalted Throne of these Realms for a period unprecedented in the annals of history, your venerable Sire held kis paternal and gentle sway over the affections of his People; and long will the tributary gratitude of this Nation record, that during the eventful and glorious course of his late Majesty's reign, wherein it pleased Asmicarr Gun, in his inscrutable pro vidence, to visit him with various public and private afflictions, hr manifested on all occasions the most tender regard for his na tive country, and the most scrupulous affection for her glorious Constitution, both in Church and State; he maintained the ho- ;lour of his Crown, and the safety and independence of his Peo ple, in seasons of unparalleled difficulty, with magnanimity, firmness, and dignity. Ills pre-cminent example, in the strict attention he paid to his religions duties, in his pious submission to the Draws will, in his faithful discharge of every moral obli gation, beamed from his lofty sphere with powerful and attrac tive lustre, and while it was a blessing to the country over which he reigned, fitted ails! prepared him for the exchange he has now brute, of an ear ally for an heavenly crown. " In tilts &plotting the loss of the venerable Father of his People, 1 , • •..ji sty's dutiful and faithful subjects have but is "ten utterance to the feelings of sympathy which agitate then - hearts on this mournful occa.ion, and they partici pate most dts-p!v in the sorrow of your Majesty, on the accumu lated occasions of grief which have in so short a space of time visited your Royal House. " The consolation which your faithful Citizens of London ex perience, in common with their fellow-subjects, is derived from the good providence of Goo. in placing the sceptre in the hands of a Prince by whose wise and able government, as the Represen tative of our late lamented Sovereign, during his long and distres sing illness we have witnessed the glory of the arms of this coun try raised to its highest pitch; an honourable peace secured, af ter the severe struggles of nearly a quarter of a century to main- Lin its Independence, its Constitution, and its Religion. It is therefore with the sincerest and warmest veneration we con gratulate your Majesty on your ascending the Throne of your Ancestors. . 4 Permit us, gracious Sire, to express our warmest assurances of zeal for your Majesty's sacred Person and Governm'ent, satisfied as we are, that the best interest of this Country, iu which you have been born and educated, lies nearest your heart ; and we most fervently pray, that the ALMIGHTY Disposes or LYIENTS, by whores Kings reign, will prosper and prolong your role over us; that he will guard your Royal Person, Crown, a-. 4 Dignity, and bless your reign with the zeal, gratitude, and obedience of a faithful and happy People." To which Address his MAJESTY was pleased to return this most gracious Answer : •• I receive with the greatest satisfaction this loyal and affec tsoeate Address. " You could not have gratified me more than by the justice waich you have rendered to the memory of my revered and 1 .. - aer.ted Father; and I cordially thank you for the sentiments of dutiful attachment and confidence which you have expressed towards myself. " You may be assured that I shall always be desirous to orsoli the privileges, and to promote the prosperity of the City of London." They then withdrew, and the LORD MAYOR, at tt:lded by four Members of the Deputation from the CoLrt of Common Council, were admitted, and pre scrated the following Address : " TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY TUE uuririL AND LOYAL ADDRESS OF THE LORD MAYOR, •LDIIR- Dits, AND CoNIIIOXS O► THE GMT OF LONDON, IN COMMON COUN CIL " MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN ! Vise, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Turd Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, Common Council assembled, humbly approach your Royal prey:nee, to express to your Majesty the feelings of our minds occasion of the demise of our late most excellent and revered Prreign, and on the accession of your Majesty to the Throne :ktfar Realms. " Raticip.iting in the general sorrow of the country, we Feel strselves deprived of a Father and a Friend, the recollection of whose virtues, whose bright example, and whose benign GoVelm nient, will never be obliterated from our hearts. " The high respect manifested by your Majesty's Royal Father for the impartial administration of justice, in rendering the Judges of the land independent of the Crown. is a conspi cuous point of admiration to the present, as it will be to future generations. " Throughout the course of a reign extended beyond that of any of his predecessors, your Majesty's departed Sire never lost sight of the pledge he had given to his faithful Subjects, of his determination to promote, to the utmost of his power, their prosperity and happiness ; under the influence whereof he rose above every danger which threatened the dignity or safety of his Sacred Person, the honour and security of his CrOVIN or the independence and welfare of his People ; discharged with un. varying fidelity the duties of every social relation, and proved himself the munificent Patron of the Arts, Science, and Litera ture, the zealous promoter of the Education of the Poor, and a bountiful supporter of every good work. " In contemplating his long and glorious career, we are con soled under his loss by reflecting on his uniform illustration of the fact, that a British 'Monarch may wield the sceptre with advantage to the country, and by his exemplary attention to every relative duty, by his temperance and his piety, i: fesuct and edify the poorest of his subjects% " While we desire to bow with reverential submission to the will of lint by whom King's reign and Princes decree justice, as it regards the sufferings and demise of your Majesty's Royal Father, we derive motives for comfort and for gratitude, in the recol:eetion that th , : sceptre has not descended to an inexperienced hand; and that, in addition to the review of the past, we have the assurance of your Majesty's Royal word, that it wiz be the most anxious endeavour of your Majesty to promote the prospe rity and happiness of all classes of your People, and to maintain unimpaired the Religion, Laws, and Liberties of the Kingdom; an assurance whereby your Majesty has fully acknowledged the glorious principles of the Act of Settlenient, and recognized the noble features of our excellent Constitution. " We trust your Majesty will graciously accept this earnest of our dutiful and inviolable attachment to your Sacred Person and Government, with our humble assurance, that your faithful Ci tizens t)f London will eveepray to the Krroa of KIN 63 that your Majesty's Reign may be long and prosperous, and that your Councils may be directed by a gracious Provinincz to promote the honour and glory of your Majesty, and the welfare and hap piness of your l'eople.—Signed by order of Court, " IrENRY WOOD ritottrE:' To which Address the KING was pleased to return the following most gracious Answer t I return yob my Warmest thanks for this loyal and dutiful Address. " It is highly gratifying to me to receive such a testimony of your feelings of affectionate veneration for the memory of my lamented Father, as Well as of attachment to my person and Government. a You may rely on ray constant solicitude fur the welfare and prosperity of the City of . London, and for the maintenance of its rights and privileges." There were also in attendance ca the KING, the Lord Steward, the Master of the Horse, the Groom of the Stole, the Tteaurer of the Hothehold, the Comptroller of the Household, &c. After his MAJESTY had received the City Ad dresses, he held a Pt ivy Council, which was atten ded bye The Archblshcp of Canterbury, the Lard President, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Secretaries of State for the Home, Foreign,' and Colonial Departments, the First Lord if the Admiralty, the ?Master General of the Ordnance, the President of the Board of Controul, &c.

The KING gave audiences to the Earl of HAR- Rotisy, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, and the Duke of WELLINGTON. The Marquis of HEADIORT and Sir WILLIAM KEPPEL were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. The Court broke up a little before six o'clock. GENERAL ELECTION. The Right Honourable WILLIAM DurasAs has again offered himself, to represent the City of Edin burgh in Parliament. The contest at Denbigh will prove a severe one, as it includes family as well as political opposition. Election squibs are already flying about, some of them of the most pointed description. Mr. STEWARD MAJORIBANES, son of the East , India Chairman, has declared himself a Candidate for Hythe. The present Member for Wenlock retires from Parliament, and his brother, Mr. FORESTER, is now canvassing that Borough. The White Lion Club, of Bristol, has invited P. J. MILES, Esq. to fill the place holden by Mr. HART DAVIS, who has published an affecting farewell ad dress, in which he says—" Under the painful recol lections of the past year, an invitation from my fellow-citizens would have poured balm into a wounded mind." Monday se'nnight, Sir WM. CHAMPION DE CBEs- ~ PIGNY, and Wm. CHAMBEALAYNE, Esq. arrived in Southampton, and immediately commenced a very active canvass for the future Representation of that ancient Borough. J. R. DOTTIN, Esq. and his agents, are also busily employed in canvassing. Lord BURY and ARTHUR ATHERLEY, Esq. are very active in their canvass for Arundel, and their friends are sanguine of success. THOMAS Whir:worm, Esq. M. R. BENSON, Esq. and LECHMORE CHARLT•N, E.q. start for Bridgnorth, in consequence of Sir T. JONES, Bart. declining the contest. JOHN MYTTOW, Esq. has declined for Shrewsbury.

Monday, the friends or this truly patridtic Noble man met to celebrate his return to this his native city, after an absence of more than half a century, during which period his life has been uniformly and strenuously devoted in promoting the happiness and liberty of his country. At a little past six, the company, to the number of nearly 300, sat down to an elegant and sumptuous entertainment, provided by Messrs. COCKBURN and 9TEVENTON, of the Royal Hotel, in the great hall of the Assembly Rooms. The ten chrystal chandeliers shone forth a most brilliant light, and a very neat transparency at the bottom of the room, on which were written, " Trial by Jury," and " Freedom cf the Press," and other inscriptions, characteristic of the services of the Noble Lord, added much to the beauty of the scene. WILLIAM MAXWELL, Esq. of Carriden, in the Chair, in the absence of the Right Hon. Lord Ross- LYN and his Grace the Duke of HAMILTON. GEORGE CRANSTOUN and HeNHY COCKBURN Esqrs. Crouplers,—During the evening, several ap propriate toasts and sentiments were given, and songs sung, and thany eloquent speeches delivered. There are very few characters who have done greater honour to their native land than Lord ER SKINE. By his distinguished talents, he attained an eminence at the English Bar, which has never been surpassed; and his eloquence as a Counsellor, and integrity as a Jude, will call forth the admiration of future age>. Ihe manly patriotism which has in variably distinguished this Nobleman, and which shines forth with undiminished splendour, even when he approaches the conclusion of so honourable a course, must endear him to every dispassionate lover of his country. Lord ERSKINE sat upon the right of the Chair man, and the Hon. Mr. ERSKINE, son of his Lord ship, and late Ambassador to America, upon his left. About ten o'clock Mr. MAxwELL retired ) when Mr. JEFFREY was called to the Chair. The company separated about three o'clock in the morning. THE CONSPIRATORS. Private information was yesterday evening given to Lavender and Bishop, that Palin, for whose ap prehension a reward of ESC* has been offered, was concealed in a house in the neighbourhood of Battle bridge. They proceeded immediately, with their in former, to the spot described, but found that there was no ground for the suspicion which had arisen.— Though the Officers did not find P.rlin, they found three men and a woman, of somewhat suspicious ap pearance. One man was in bed, and said he was un well. The Patroles (Jeffery and Tanner), suspecting him to be one of the Cato-street gang of assassins, and that he was in bed in consequence of the bruises he had received, made him get up, when he was found to have all his clothes on, except his shoes. They stripped him, but he had no bruises. The other two men were melting lead in a frying-Pan. One of the men lived at that place, the others in Monmouth street and Brownlow-street. They were all three brought to Bow-street Office, and underwent an exa mination before Mr. BIRNIE, when, there being no charge against them, and they not being known, they were discharged. It is supposed that Palin might have taken the alarm, and escaped at the back of the house, while the Officers were knocking at the door. ARREST 07 PRESTON. — This cobbling politician, with whose public character our Readers are but too well acquainted, was yesterday apprehended by La vender and Bishop, under a warrant issued by R. BIRNIE, Esq. It appears that the lodgings of this man were searched on Thursday and Friday last, but nothing of a suspicious nature was found. On those occasions he facetiously said, " his armoury could not boast of a swan-shot, nor his port-folio of a scrap of paper of the slightest political interest." Circumstances have since transpired which have led to his arrest upon a charge of High Treason. He was found industriously engaged in mending a shoe, with his family about him. He was surprised at this new visit, but submitted to his fate with cheerfulness, not unaccompanied by an apparent sense of his own im portance. His daughters were highly indignant at this intrusion on their domestic privacy. The Offi cers conducted their prisoner to Bow-street Office, from whence he was sent to the Marquis of Anglesea public-house, opposite. He was placed under the care of Lack, one of the patrole. He called. for " a pipe and pot," and, seating himselt before the fire, seemed perfectly happy. He laughingly said to a Gentleman who went to see him, that he thought " the farce would not be complete till he was taken." He had previously denied all knowledge of the late conspiracy.—Reston was this morning taken from Covent-garden Watch-house, down to IVhitehall, to be examined before the Privy Council, as to his knowledge of the plot. THE PRISONERS IN COLDBATH.7IELDS PRISON.-.- Thigleumod was yesterday in better spirits than on any preceding day. He says but little upon the sub• ject of his arrest. He exclaimed, when first in cus tody, that he had stuck to the Ministers to Coe last, and would do so while he breathed. He stands com mitted for the double crime of High Treason and Murder.—Brunt, who, it is ascertained, was present in Cato -street, on Wednesday night, is committed for High Treason alone ; and the other nine, whose names we have so repeatedly given, are committed for Murder. Monument says, when he found what was contemplated, he endeavoured to get away, but Davidson, the sentinel, at the bottom of the ladder, ' would not let him depart. No state allowance has been made for the prisoners ; and, as they are in the most abject state of poverty, they depend on the jail ' allowance for subsistence. This is a pound of bread per day, and meat and soup on alternate days. Among those who have been to Coldbath- fields, to see the conspirators, are the Marquis of A NOLZSZA, ' Lord GRAVES, Sir BENJAMIN 400111171ELD, and Sir ARTHUR PAGET. The Cabinet Council sat yesterday upon the sub ject, at twelve o'clock, at the Secretary of State's Office for the Home Department, but none of the prisoners in custody, or any of the witnesses, were examined. The Council broke up soon after one Q clock. The reason the Police Officers were more numerous ou the night of the attack of the Cato-street gang was, that they were distributed at the offices ? and the o ffi cial gentlemens' houses.

This splendid and elegant suit of Rooms was opened last night by the Royal Harmonic Institu tion with a Grand Concert, which was numerously and fashionably attended. In the Concert Room there could not be less than 700 persons, independently of a numerous orchestra. This room is of striking pro portion, and well adapted for sound. The sides are or namented with six Corinthian pilasters each, one end it occupied by the orchestra, and the other by four rows of boxes, five in each row; the centre b ox , i nten d e d for his MAIRsTY, was hung with mourning. The Selection of Music for the evening was front the best Masters. Mt: J. B. CRAMER gave a fine Piano-forte Concerto of his own composition, in a style of exe cution worthy of his great reputation. The Vocal department was strongly filled : Mrs. SALMON, Sig nora.Coa nt, Miss STEPHENS, BRAHAM, KNYVETT, and WALSH, all took part in it. The whole of the per formance met with the most rapturous approbation. LYC, UM. Mr. MATHEWS last night resumed his comical labours, and very successfully entertained a mime.' rous and elegant audience with Something New. If it be laughter (as some philosophers have gravely contended), that chiefly distinguishes men from the brute creation, the humourist we have mentioned has done much to ennoble our nature. The whole of his entertainment of last night was highly diverting; many of his points were distinguished by original Whim, and some were excellent. The business of the evening opened with a well' timed electioneering address, in which Mr. MA Maws described himself to stand in the situation of a can didate soliciting the suffrages of hii -friends for the third titre, and he followed this up with a string of laughable promises, of the great things he would do if their voices should be in his favour. This was very well relished, and he then proceeded to amuse his visitors with the eccentricities of his Country Cousins, who come to town to see the sights, and impose upon him the agreeable task of :hewing them the lions. We cannot follow him and them through their droll career ; but it will at once be seen that the idea is good in itself, and, followed up as it is with great gaiety and humour, in the varieties which it is made to introduce, we anticipate that the pre sent entertainment will be little less attractive than those which commanded such universal attention in the two last years. The farcical nothingness of the Scotch woman's stories is now felicitously transferred to a Dr. Prolix, who is eminently amusing from his manner of putting off, as original, some of the most hackneyed Joe Miller's ; and, from the pomp with which he goes through recitals, that off the stage would be tiresome enough, but which here become singularly pungent, from the circumstance of their being transcendantly pointless. Mr. MATHEWS if anxious not to be viewed as indulging in malignant mimickry, and professes only to school those habits which are acquired through negligence and affec tation. We accordingly recognize, in the course of his performance, several individuals of ridiculous celebrity, and among them the hubble-bubble of iti nerant orators. A. blundering French Tourist is introduced with considerable effect ; and the trial of Patrick Row, with the speeches of Counsel, and the remarks of Justice Metaphor, a very sapient per sonage, before whom the cause is tried, was honoured with thunders of applause. The comic songs were so much approved, that the performer was repeat edly in danger of being encored, but, on reflection, the majority of the audience opposed their own call for the repetition of them. Some good satirical touches occur in the course of the performance.— The Gas Company gets a fair rub on the parsimo• nious supply of light which they afford their cus tomers; and the follies and peculiarities of all classes ate hit at in succession, front the fine lady who starves those she has invited to her rout, down us the humble exhibitor of the curiosities in St. Paul's Church, and, the waiter at the Chapter. The Third Part, or that which is the substitute for a farce to the foregoing play, shews off the varieties of the actor in something like a regular drama, and Mr. MATUZWS personates the following- characters t Alderman Bisckaback, in the Chair (surfeTted). Tribune, his maiden Sister, at the table (studious). Snap, one orthe Livery. Sysor Canzoneeri, Singing Master. Matilda Iladarback, his Pupil. Melly Magog, a Patagonian Nurse. Aliethissakes a Youthful Watchman. Dicky Gaul; , a posthumous Barber. This arduous task he performs with a degree of rapidity and skill that is truly astonishing, and he often takes the audience completely by surprise * bursting upon them in a new shape, and from a new quarter, when they feel quite certain that he has re mained all the time before them in some character previously assumed. Shouts of unqualified appro bation requited his exertions at the end, and we be lieve the only complaint heard in the Theatre was suggested by the unexpected lateness of the hour at which the performance terminated. We are desired to correct a statement which apa peared in our Paper yesterday. It sliduld have been mews. HAZARD and Co. .

WARNFORD,Of Mickleham, near Dorking, Surrey,wer e amusing themselves with the various sports of the play-ground, an arrow, neither bolted nor barbed, was playfully aimed at a lad, named MOSELY (only son of a Gentleman of that name, residing at Leather. head), and struck him below the knee : he was ob served to look extremely ill, and was carried into the house, when it appeared that a nerve had been injured, by which lock jaw was almost instantly produced, and, notwithstanding the most eminent medical a.- sisrance, he expired in less than 24 hours. The grief of his parents can be better conceived than descrthed. INTERSSUNG ANICDOTE.—When the late Duke de BIRRI was nearly expiring, he mentioned to his wife that he had two children born in England and one in France, and whom he wished her to tike care o f. The moment she was removed from the body she de sired to see the children, and on their being brou g h t to her she cut off some of her h..ir, and giving . a l oc k to each of them, and also one to her own little laug h ter, she said they were sisters and brothers, and chat she would be their %ether. The Princess then went to St. Cloud, and took the children with her. • T i
