The whole of the five Physicians attended to make the report. The Members of the Connell then weld to the private apartments in the to visit the King.

Advice' have been received front Ceylon, by the way of Madras, COMMilt icating the intelligence of the cap ture of the Malabar Chief, pretender to the Crown of Cendy, who is supposed to have been the chief cause of the insurrection which has so long prevailed iu that island. Together with him was male prisoner, his l'rime Minister, Kappitipola. A premium of 501. has been offered by the Prince Regent, as Duke of Cornwall and Lord of the Forest of Dartmoor, to the person who, this year, shall culti vste the greatest number of acres 111 flax. Orders have been received at the INick.yard at Ports raoitle to tit six cutters as life-boats, OD a plan pens posed by Lieut. T. A. Gardiner, R. N. to be issued to his Majesty's ships and a essels for experiment. A letter, dated the 22.1 ult. at Bangor, in Ireland, feet au Officer on board of the Seaforth, belonging to Messrs. Gladston, of Liverpool and which sailed trona thence on the 2d ult. states, that that ship during the late storm encountered extreme danger, and suffered very couselerable damage, and was driven successively Lite the islands of Celonsay and Isla, and bitterly into Bangor. The leirricane that prevailed exceeded any thing that the oldest iceman on board had ever wit fleeted. It is melancholy to relate, that during the tempest two vessels were observed to go down within a quarter of a mile of the Seaforth, the names of which could not be learned, Si the crews of both perished. An enquiry has been made, by order of the Lords of The Admiralty, on an improved mode of working the euleulations necessary to ascertain the longitude of ships at sea. The plan is from observations of the positions of various stars, which promise to reduce the errors into' eo narrow a compass, that the actual certainty may be almost said to be discovered. It requires only six sines of figures. I rum Vienna it is nsentimted, that one of the richest Bankers of that capital, whose - credit was almost unli mited, and who was publicly designated as the future Heat} of au important Finarcial Administration, had for some days disappeared ; and on the 18th ult. his body was found iu the Danube. The cease of this melancLoly event was not known. An official commiteleation was on Thursday made at the stock Excite:lgs, that no further exteneon of time could be granted to the holders ofornniuna. The effect of this notification was, as might be expected, to de press the Funds ; but it is probable, that this effect will be but temporary, as the resolution of the Bank had been fully expected by all well-informed pert as. Add to this, that the money required does not amount by the highest estimate' to more than a millieet steeling ; and sonic personate' good authority in such matters say, that it dues not exceed 800,0001. It is to be remem bered, that these payment are on the uranium pledged et the Bank ; and that there will he another payment en the whole of the (titanium on the 19th inst. A defaulter was declared at the Stock-exchange on Fattelay, under circumstances, in seam degree, of a delicate nature. The case is sufficiently notorious ; het we can do no more, in the present stage of the bushiess, than allude to it. Complete publicity will probaVy take place throagh a channel of a very dif. firm maitre. The city has been much agitated der hug the whole of last week, by the question of cons tintiing the restriction of cash-payineats be the Bank, note under the consideration of the Legislature. It is worthy of remark, that this ae , itatien has not been :onfined solely ta the money-market, but has extended to the commercial world, who appear to feel cepal in terest. in the decision of Parliament. It is not true, however, as asserted by a Morning Paper of Saturday, that the Batik has totally discontinued its discounts. We know, as a positive fact, that un Friday bils wi re presented and discounted in the same manner, and nerdy to the saute amount, ust usual. Tim NATIONAL nyntsTEß It appears tolerably ceria theretOre, that tile re. striction oa pay rig in ca , h will not be 'alert off: and • lett persons engaged in commerce, and of estahlishen credi:, way rely oa obtaining the same assitance as fa-nit:4y. The agitation of the funds during the last tveek may be ascribed, in part, to the state of Bank affairs; brit it is to be attributed, in a nr..e.n greater degree, to direct speculation, curried on to an enormous extent by persoas supposed to po-,teSs superior infor mation, and influencing the puh•.ic opinion on which the market greatly depends, by their operations. The lowest price of Consols for the account. during the week, has been 77 ; but very large sales were made by the parties alluded to at that price. On Saturday the Stock market opened at 771 fur the account; but in consequence of some considerable sales, soon declined to 77i; they subsequently recovered, and left Off at 774 to A. :,eareity of money, whic% was very great in the Sto,A Exchange during the car::: part of the week, subsi;'.•d on Friday, •.ud cash became plentiful. This slate of plenty is, however, to be understood ►olely of the great market tar Government securities, whore money is teat on ceatinuation, and generally for short periods. Commerce is still languid : at the present moment there is scarcely a single article of produce that is at all in demand in the markets, or that has not undergone a very material depression. An old esta bished French Imre. and of considerable eminence, stopped payment on Saturday, to a very great amount. On the whole, affairs do not wear a very flattering aspect in the city ; but we are . persuaded that this effect is produced mare lay the fears that prevail con cerning the great Legislative nicasure now pending, than by any just cause .ur that apprehension.—E.l - . _ _ The situation of the Mmied Interests has become rather alarming. from the determination of the Di. rectors of the Bank not to prolong the redemption of 40 per cent. upon the Otnnium. One eminent broker sold on Friday morning upwards of 700,0001. At a Special Court of Proprietors, hold on Wednesday at the Kest livlia-heir,, a Vote of Thanks was passed to the Marl.'is of I Listings, fir Ids conduct in the late campaign. The consideration of a similar Vote to Sir 1. I 6,102, 'ho second in command, was postponed. in consequence of a long discussion having arisen upon an intimation from Mr. Ilt:me, that he would oppose the motion, unless a satisfactory caFlanation was given, as to the cond-ct of General Hislop, in ordering the Lille der of 'rainier to be hanged without trial.
