ON THE KING'S HEALTH. "But little doubt is now entertained that the health of our venerable Monarch is in a very precarious state. Among the most fatal symptoms are, per haps, to be numbered the returning gleams of reason with which he is said to have been lately visited, and which arc but too commonly the indications, in similar eases, of approaching dissolution. The al 4ered state of his Majesty, which has for .some days been currently believed in the city, was talked of very freely at the Levee on Friday. It was repor ted yesterday, that during the late visrits.to Windsor of the different branches of the Royal Family, they were admitted to see his Majesty. The several meetings of the Duke of York's Council, es Custos of the King, have ”aturally•ex cited the alarm of the nation for the health of our veserabk Sovereign We do not profess to be accu rately informed on this subject, but we have reason to believe that his Majesty is seriously indisposed beyond the ordinary infirmities-of his advanced age. We fear from his great age and close confinement, and from the character of the•hist monthly Bulletin, .that afatal r.port will, at no yery distant period, be realized. With respect to the royaLsufferer him self, the vajoyment of life has long since passed away; and when to the bitterness of his present malady are superaddcd the evils that necessarily ac ompany old age, the interruption of mere human existence meat be considered a happy release to him ,from accumulated affliction ; but his people cherish the memory of his virtuous qualities with such sin eere.affixtion, that they will learn with unfeigned sorrow the arrival of the fatal moment that will deprive them fir ever of their " Gatti old King." The most important efli:ct which would result from his Majesty's demise, would be the dissolntion of the present Parliament within six months after the event. MANCHESTER. The following is au extract frrm the petion of .certain merchants,.manutiteturcts, and others, inha bitants of Manchester, to the -House of Commons, published in the Manchester Gazette of Saturday. After describing the arrest of Hunt, it thus pro ceeds :- 46 The corp. of the hlancheste Yeomanry, together a ith the reorpqa of Cheshire Yeomanry, and a tardy of the 15th Hussars, both ofishicb had by this tim.• come upon the field, did then t barge upon the mooe in all directioti., and to a grim' distunce train the place of meeting in consequence of which eitin persons have lost thei. lives, nod not less 111411 400 OS 400 Of his Alatjesty loyal though lotael mg subjects including all ages, from old men and women of 73 to young boyhood girls of 14, Isere grievously crushed, tram pled upon, h uised, maimed, or sabred.

Poetic FUNDS.—The account in Consols closed on Thursday last, without a single instance of de falcation, either public or private, though the dif ference ,of price between the highest and lowest quotation has been full 4 per cent. The advantage in the different speculation' made during its pro gress, appears very generally to be against the Stock Exchange, and in favour of the puhlic, %alio bought freely when the prices were at the lowest. The operations carried on fur the fortnight preceding the termination of the account ate considered to to have been influenced by the late private assistance rendered to ,Government, as they evidently showed less command of money than usual, on the part of those speculators who have the credit of furnishing the aid in question. Nothing has prevented another disadvantageous day of settlement to the speculators fur a fall so much as the temporising mode adopted by their opponents, of giving a continuation on stock, by selling for Thursday last and buying for the opening in January, thus relieving the great Scarcity of stud , that previously existed. flail the contrary course been adoptisl. and had the command of money this party usually possess been called into action, by claiming the delivery of the major part of the stock sold them, the Funds wonld probably have risen 2 per cent. The French Funds indicate very strongly the unsettled state of the public mind in that country respecting the late changes in the Administration. On Tuesday last the rentez had fallen to 67f. 50c , but recovered 90 rapidly, that by the letters of Wednesday the concluding price is Aiven ut Of. 20e. ; the me of exchangs being 24.85. ...`, THE NATIONAL kEOISTEE.
