Lolloolt. SUNDAY. APRII. 2. Paris Papers of Tuesday have arrived, which state that the King of France has been seriously indis posed with an attack of the gout in his stomach. The spasms were so violent on Friday as almost to prevent respiration. During the night his Majesty became worse, and on Saturday he had much fever, the spasms still continuing ; !Jut they at length yielded to medicine, and on Sunday he was better. The 3lwtilcur asserts, that the King's indisposition is slight, and not likely to be attended with any ill consequences. His health is, however, in a very precarious state, and every attack occasions in creased alarm, as there is no knowing the conse quences that would arise from his Majesty's death. The news from Spain continues satisfactory. The Constitution goes on well.—Ferdinand seems quite enamoured with the new order of things ; his politi cal principles are infinitely more pliable than those of one of his late Monarchial ad heren t s,General A rizaga, who has thought fit to die of grief, at St. Sebastian, in consequence of the triumph of the Cortes ! The Provisional Junta have represented to the King that he ought to remove from his service the seventy persons who, in 1814, signed an Address to the King, for the subversion of the Cortes. In Valentia there has been a considerable degree of agitation. General Elid had managed to keep that province in subjection until the moment of the King's orders for the adoption of the Constitution arriving ; and had so irritat-A the populace by his conduct, that he was obliged to take refwge in the citadel from the fury of the people. He remains there protected by the honour of his successor. Cadiz had declared fur the Constitution before an account of the events in Madrid had reached that City. The zeal of the in habitants, no longer capable of restraint, overpower ed every obstacle that opposed their wishes. They encountered some r.:si:stance from the garrison, and received the fire of the troops, by which it is said about sixteen people were killed; but the friends of the Constitution were eventually successful, and on the 9th of March the Constitution was proclaimed in Cadiz, in the presence of Generals Freyre and Villa-Vicencio, and the other Generals and Admi rals of the army and marine united. In the ex cesses which unfortunately either preceded or accompanied this event, some houses were pillaged, and lives were sacrificed to the inflamed fury of the populace. Among the victims arc mentioned the names of Generals Campana and Valdez. On the 10th General Freyre caused the Constitution to be proclaimed at Seville. Malrisi continues to enjoy the must perfect tranquillity. All the members of the late abominable Inquisition have received orders to quit the capital, and several persons, who exercised an undue ascendancy over the King, have been also removed from about his person. So soon as the intentions of the Provinces are known, it is meant to convoke the ('ortes, who are expci.tcd to meet about the Ist of May. THE NATIONAL REGISTER. Wa this (lay give the conclualon of the trial of Mr. Hunt and others at York, by which it will be seen that the .Jury found him and several others Guilty, under which verdict he will he bron,zht up for judgment on the fourth day ofnext Tel!:1 (tIIC tth April,) unless an arrest ofJudgment he allowed which he means to move for ou the following p ,oTounas— I. That the r•solutions r:t , pcd at the Satitlifv..l,l weting were not evidence, atal ought nut have !welt :admitted as such. Y. That the fact of the Yeomanry havimt kilkd 1 I persons and wonialed 618, was evidence, and o3;lit to have been admitted. 3. That the verdict is contrary . to 4. 'fliat the verdict is contrary to the dirccCan of the Jude. 5. That the veidicl is contrary to ei.:•!..acc. 6. That one of the Jury was not a freeli , tder : 7. That the Jury consisted of magistrates procured and packed by the Mu-ter of the Crown-tithe*. What may be the result is not material, but in the progress of the trial most important points were established, and the lie direct given to all the Tory assertions on the Manchester Meeting. The visions of brickbats have now vanished into air, and there is nothing left but " a dagger of the mind—a false creation proceeding from the beat-oppressed brain." " Equal Representation, or Death," has been di vested of all its terrors, and we shall not be sur prised if in the cud, Mr. hunt shall prove his meetings to be as /op/ as certain other assoLiations, which exclusively arrogate that title. After every polluted source had been ransacked for witnesses, after clerks, who bud robbed their mas ters, deserters, and dealers ia forged notes, had con tributed their evidence to establish the facts stated by the Manchester Magistrates to Ministers, and by them to the House of Commons, what became of the three readings of tha Riot Act, where were the remains of the magistrate interred who was trampled to death, where were the two cart loads of stones which were hurled at the Yeomanry—why the latter was the only fact attempted to be proved, and that by the Chairman of the magistrates, whose evidence on oath was contradicted by a host of as respect. able witnesses as were ever examined on a defence," so we believe said Mr.Justicellayley, of whose manly and correct conduct during the trial, too much in praise cannot be said. Thu Grand Jury of Lancaster have again thrown out the bills against the Mao_ chester Yeomanry, appearing to hold the order given to them, as a sufficient justification of their conduct on the tittal 16th August. CLOSE OF THE MIDDLESEX ELECTION. THURSDAY, MARCH :AL This day, at three o'clock, Mr. Mellish finding the tide irresistibly strong against aim declined.— lie was 512 behind Mr. Whitbread, and very pro perly gave up the contest. Mr. Byug, Mr. Whit bread, and Mr. Mellish severally addrez:sed the Electors; the two former gentlemen returned thanks—:lie latter stated, that emivinced he could not sacceel he had given it up; this declaration was received with great applause.

It has been the practice lately to give small stuns of money for the option of either taking Stock on a particular day, or forfeiting the money so advanced. The option of selling stock at a particular price has been also esual. This business, lately, has been done on the most extensive scale, denmninaed, in the langußge of the Alley, Pals and Calls. A Peti tion is - before the Committee to put an end to these bargains, which, it is stated, prevent the usual fluctuations in the Funds. _ _ The tidlowing circumstance took plaee at the Liverpool meeting to address his Maj..lity :—While Mr. Hollinshead was speaking, Mr. Rushton ad dressed the Mayor, and stated, that a Quaker Gen tleman, whose religious opinions had prompted him to remain covered in the meeting, had just been in. stilted by an individual there, who wished to take oil' his hat in a rule and unauthorised mantv2r, and he trusted the Mayor would protect the gentleman and the meeting from such an outrage. It was not to be borne that a man's principles should be insulted. [Here much violent hissing and applause ensued, during which the Quaker stood covered.) The Niavor was ri:ing to interfere, when a gentleman on t h e b enc h (Mr. Lodge) exclaimed, " It• people will _ _ 412lirc. 100 not conform to the decorum of society, they ought to keep out of that society !" A burst of disapprl bation ensued ; during which Mr. Itultlione, who sat on the bench near the Mayor, stood up, placed lds hat on his head, and was cheered most enthusiastic ally. This striking incident had a great elfeet upon the meeting. When silewo was restored Mr. Itathbone stated, that, as a Quaker, he had thus acted to reply to the intolerant expression thus used. It was hard, indeed, if ram, who were known to Ix as truly attached to the Constitution es many who made higher professions, were to be excluded from meetings on national occasions, because they might differ from others in religious opinions ; and he would insist upon the right which every sect had to manifest their opinions of a monarch, whose liberal conduct in such particulars was one IR' his brightest ornaments. This speech was received with acclamations ; and after wards, when it was moved that Mr. Lodge, (the gentleman who had used the offensive language) awl Mr. Rawson. should accompany the Mayor to London with the address:, the motion was tc,gutived, and the names of Mr. Ilollinshead and Mr. llatilberna substituted. Between two an 1 three o'clock on 'l'hnrsda.• morning the Cmily cf Mr. Burley, small heel brewer, Great Surrey -street, corner of Dover-street, St. George's-fiehls, were alarmed by the loud bark ing of the house dug ; the aaitnal ran up and do , cn, the stairs, scratching at the different chamber (t 00.... as if to awaken somebody, and then flew back aga:t: to the door in the direction of the brewery, con tinuing to hark most vehemently. At length Mr. B. desired his wife to get up, being rather ill himself and see what was the matter. Soon afterwards noise was heard, and the moment the door was opened three men presented themselves ; the dog instantly sprung at one of them, to whom he clung till his mistress called him off, and in the meantime the others escaped over the wall ; the third followed with all diligeuee. In the morning, on examining the place, a cask of beer was found rolled up t 4 the gate ready to be carried off, - and a piece of cloth, with some blood on it, supposed to be part of t,1 , ..; sleeve of the thief's jacket which the Kiitliful d brought off with his teeth. Nothing at all wa, stolen. On Thursday an inquisition was held at the Pewter Platter, White Lion Street, Norton Falgate, before Mr. Unwin, Coroner, on the body of Miss Sarah Pinfield. The deceased was a maiden lady. 69 years of age, and was in partnership with her brother, who kept a stay and corset shop, nest door • to the 131uecoat Boy in Norton Falgate; she was remarkable fur her pious, religious, and charitable disposition ; she lost one eye is her youth from the small pox, and through an inflammation was de prived of the sight of the other six months ago, whicit caused a kind of temporary derangement. She got up about eight o'clock last Saver,lay morning; ; breakfast was waities- in the parlour, and she tees called down, but instead of coming down stairs she went up into the attic, got out at a small 'cake window that epened to the gutter, and before ciao was perceived, fell over the parapet into the street, pulling the coping stone and the frame of the win dow along with her. Some persons who were passing had a narrow escape with their lives. Mr. Newington, of Spital Square, attended, but she had received so much injury, that she lived only about an hour. Verdict, " Accidental Death." DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday morn ing, at '2O minutes before ten o'clocic, whilst the workmen employed to pull down tile walls of the Old Savoy Prison, which were of great thick ness, were at their labour, one of the wails fell with a tremendous crash, burying under its rains, three men and a horse and cart. The owner of the cart, Mr. \Vindetnude, of the Horse-ferry-road, Westminster, was standing by his horse, and per ceiving the danger, called to t•le other men, but too late ; he grasped his horse in order to draw oat; when, in an instant, they were all buried in the ruins. The horse anti cart were sa completely eovered, as scarcely to be seen. One man, named Smith, was got out ; his head was dreadfully crushed and he was quite dead. We undcrst lid he has a wife and four children. Another luau trieeel Steven::, was also dug out, crushed dread:idly.— The men then began digging for Mr. Windemude, who, when discovered, presented an awful spectacle ; his wite was standing by all the time ; nor could she be persuaded to go away, her screams were truly distressing when he a was taken up. We understand that the foreman cautioned the unfortunate men train undermining the wall, as they were then doing, but it seems he could not persuade them to. desist iu time. The thremau ::tinted when hu perceived the dreadful catastrophe. ACoroner's Inquest was stuntuoned,who returned avertliet of accidental death. The ironies of the three unfortunate men were re moved to the river side, and covered over to congeal theta from the innuense crowd of spectators. Their laeerated remains sheaved that their sufferings must be momettury. •• 6 ...0w:. • =lllilioloimimM
