NATII. GOSTLING, CHAS. DYNELEY, Deputy Registrars JOHN lOCIULDEN, bn. 22; 1829. THE KING.—His MAJESTY'S health and spirits could not be better than they are at present. His MAJESTY'S uniform cheerfulness is the sulject of general remark and congratulation with those honoured by the proximity to the Royal person. The KING has determined to make the Castle his residence next week. His MA .t s'tv's intention is to remove in the middle or latter end of the week. The preparations in progress at the Castle for the Christmas festival are of the most extensive' and ,tnoit gorgeous description. The people of Windsor, yes, and the country at large, will feel grateful when they hear that the KING has signified his displeasure at the exor bitant profits derived through combination by some of the tradespeople ; and has resolved and declared his determi nation to have the Royal establishment furnished with its various articles of consumption from new sources, unless such articles are supplied at the fair prices current in London. We suggested a week or two ago, that it was the duty of the influential not to impose an unnece,sary burden on the poor by allowing themselves to be made the supporters of a bad system; and the KING, alive to the interests of the people, is no sooner advised, and satis fied by inquiry, of the existence of a very prejudicial abuse, than by a determination to check it he effects a present and local good, independent of the less immediate, bemuse more general one, of setting an example worthy the imita tion of the whole country.— Windsor Express. The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER are :expected to proceed from the seat of the Earl and Countess of VERULAM, near St. Alban's, Hertford, where they are at present staying on a visit, for the residence of the Marquis of SALISBURY, at Hatfield. Divine service was performed yesterday morn ing in the Private Chapel attached to the King's Palace, at Kensington, before the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA, and their Royal Highnesses' household, by the Chaplain to the Royal Duchess. Mr. UNIVIN ADDINGTON left town on Saturday morning, to proceed on his mission to the Court of Spain. Mr. ADDINGTON took leave of his MAJESTY at the Court held on Monday at Windsor Castle. The American and Colombian Ministers had interviews with the Earl of ABERDEEN on Saturday at the Foreign Office. Sir GEORGE MURRAY arrived in town on Saturday from the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. The area in front of the King's new Palace in St. James's Park has been cleared of the numerous sheds in which the marble for the pavement of thegrand hall was polished, and other works connected with the building were carried on. During the late journey of the Duchess de BERRI, she stopped at breakfast with four ladies of her suite at an inn at Bezier, and was charged 700 francs for the repast, which was a very indifferent one into the bar gain. At another inn at Arles, she was charged 2,400 francs (about 964) for four repasts. The Duchess paid these extortions, but not without signifying her displeasure at them.—Court Journal. CHARLES KEMBLE'S beautiful dress in the character of Pierre, in the tragedy of Venice Preserved, is copied from the portrait of an Italian nobleman, painted by TITIAN. This chef d'ceuvre of the artist has, for many years, been deposited in the Louvre, at Paris. Miss KEMBLE was, on the first night of her performing Belvidera, so ill with lumbago and general cold, that she was compelled, every time that she quitted the stage, to repose on a sofa. We understand that Mr. KEBIELE has already received tempting offers frwn many of the large provincial theatres for his daughter to per form; but it is not intended to accept any of them for the present, as the fatigue at Covent-garden is almost too much for her constitution.— Court Journal. SURREY THEATRE.- MISS VINCENT'S benefit is fixed, we understand, for Tuesday (to•morrow,) when will be performed, for the second time at this theatre, the popular melodrama of The Briga n d ; - the petite drama entitled The Child of Nature; and Din- DIN'S musical entertainment of The Waterman. The parts of Amanthis and Willubnina, by Miss 'VINCENT, aided by the entire strength of the Company, will no doubt secure a full house. ELLISTON AND THE ELEPIIANT.—After MATnEws and YATES had secured the services of this great actress, some of the London managers tampered with the proprietor. He, however, resolved on preserving his faith with the Adelphi Managers, when ELLISTON, thinking to remove all scruples, asked the price of the animal. " Twelve thousand pounds," was the answer. "My dear Sir, I'll buy her. She shall fulfill all her en gagemeets, but I shall hare the copyright." The offer was declined. We understand that at the rising of the Court of Chancery on Friday, one of the KING'S Counsel, who had been present when the angry altercation we mentioned in our report of that day took place between the SOLICI TOR-GENERAL and Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, had an interview with the LORD CHANCELLOR on the subject, anti that he afterwards made some communication respecting that interview to Sir CHARLES WETHERELL. In the course of the same evening information was conveyed to a magistrate that a breach of the peace might probably result from the quarrel, and theteupon the SOLICITOR-GENERAL was held to bail. Since that period the friends of the parties have interfered, with a view to accommodate the difference, which we cannot help thinking is the most cause less that ever took place. Even professed fire-eaters would find it difficult to hinge a quarrel on a pretext so slight its that which seems to have given offence to Sir CHARLES WETHERELL; and, on consielering the years and the station of the parties, the whole affair has something too ludicrous for the grave reprehension it might otherwise provoke. The Exclusives" will excite more attention than any work of a similar class has done since " Tre maine." It will do this for several reasons : partly from its name, still more from the curiosity which has been raised respecting the alleged eminent station of its writer, but most of all from its intrinsic qualities and characteris tics. " The Exclusives" is emphatically and "exclu sively" a picture of fashionable life at the present day : we will add, in unqualified and unhesitating terms, that it is generally speaking at once the truest, the fairest, the most intelligible, and the most comprehensive picture of that life, which has yet been presented to the world. The Precis of the requisites necessary to an Exclusive will be read with as much interest in some quarters as with alarm in others. It presents us with an expose that no other mo dern novelist has yet dared to put forth.— Court Journal. Waterford ships more wheat and flour than Any other Irish port. Dundalk exported more oats last season than any other port in Ireland.— Waterford Chronicle. The following extract from an address, pro posing the formation of a College of Attorneys, which has been circulated among the profession, shows the increase in the number of attornies practising in the principal pro vincial towns, between 1819 and 1829 : 1818. 1822. 1829.

There are 251 applications for next Hilary Term, of which only eight are for the Common Pleas ; and this not an unusual disproportion between the number of applicants in the two Courts, HUNTING INTELLIGENCE.

A steeple chase took place on Saturday, at two o'clock, between Mr. Biagham (of the 66th Regiment) and Mr. Delme Radcliffe, over the same ground as that taken this day se'nnight by these and other gentlemen, viz, from Por cheater to Cosham. It was exceedingly well contested, and won by Mr. Delme Radcliffe. Another steeple chase is to take place on Tuesday between the same gentlemen who rode last week, with the addition of Captain Campbell, A.D.C. and Mr. Bret. The starting place is not yet fixed.—Hampshire Telegraph. On Wednesday night, about eleven o'clock, a meteor of extraordinary size and brilliancy passed over Lough Mahon, shooting due North. There were about forty or fishing-boats out at the time. The light pro duced by this meteor was so intense, and the d.irkness which succeeded it so remarkable, that they all made tor shore, giving up their employ for the night. The oldest among the fishermen say, that they never witnessed a meteor of such magnitude.— Waterford Chronicle. PARIS, DEC. B.—The KING has left us for Compeigne, taking with him several cooks and scullions to reinforce the cuisine. His MAJESTY had a long con versation with M. DE POLIGNAC before his departure, and was for some time busily engaged in replying to a letter which he had received from England, and which report states to have been from the Duke of WELLINGTON.— About an hour previously to his setting off, he had a mes sage from the Russian ♦mbassador,. informing him that accounts had been received from St. Petersburg!' up to the 29th of November, at which time the EMPEROR had so much improved as to be able to walk about the apart ments of the Palace and see his Ministers. On Saturday last the KING visited the workshops of the two sculptors who arc engaged in executing two statues of Louts XVI., one destined for Paris, and the other (in bronze) for Bor deaux. Having examined these statues, and expressed him self perfectly satisfied with their resemblance, and the design and execution of them, his AfAJESTY visited the Trium phal Arch, which is erected at the Barrhr de l'Etoile,— The KING looked exceedingly well and/cheerful, and con versed frequently with his attendants. Doubtless the objects of these visits was to show himself in public; it having been represented to him, by the DAurtux, that at this moment he should endeavour to become poputir, and so give weight to the Ministry, who have been reproached with keeping him shut up in his palace, so that the com plaints of the people right never reach him.— Court Journul. SPIRIT OF TIM PUBLIC JOURNALS. The sixth Report of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests presents some biting matter for observation, but we can only refer to the titles the l) o articles, co u 1 leavingcountry, tsotfrsoe t tlel l igm i n e se d ;:_ e li t i a aal i sns l t s ai rb( f ei c ee : e r t t 8 :1 f e e w da o ;. 3 of I;:e d ve is n ' Tiol a i n ‘ d vill 7' b i e th ta ut th s e om en e d to ?rl ott, ; (i et p f l are re s t t ty freely coiicern. unter the A l moi axe o the i t: this wood enis the new teyott there stands Buckingham-palace, esti in'ated ad capanduni, at no more 2 - 32,700 t., but after that money had been voted, ; - ;;;!1 the work begun, estimated a second time at 433,600!.i besides a sum of 63,000/. for that tasteless and inappropriate plagairism from Bonaparte, the marble gateway now erect ing, and ler fees to Mr. Nrch and the trades people not does it appear that gven this sum ill of half a million will suffice; for !•licre is no assurance Otth that we shall not have supple mentary estimates to the amount of another half- , million or more, before the unwieldy, but mean and frivolous edifice is fit to reteive its destined inmates. The various improvernet ;:r the west end of the metropolis, and in the sevta-.41 parks, though fa . vottrably represented in the report, de serve to be well looked after; not so much for the plan or execution of the works, which arc manifestly advantageous to the public, but fur the pecuniary arrangements connected ,w;th them, which must be viewed with the more sub picion in the same degree in which they are in tricate and extensive.— Times. A letter from " A. 8.," in another column . , deserves some notice, in consideration of the feelings by which it appears to be prompted, and of the helpless and unoffending classes of stock holders for whom the writer pleads. It may, 4,-, very just and wise to substitute a fund beating 31 or 3 per cent. interest for one of 4 per cent.; but let the change be brought about fairly, with out any concerted schemes or manoeuvres between great political power on one side, and great mo nied influence on the other—such as playing with rates of discount, and taking new forms of security for loans, the effect of which is of necessity to make money more abundant, to lower intercet, to force up stocks, and to create facilities . for a financier, by: inflicting wretchedness on those who have none to help them. The last cqnvera sion of Fives into Fours was productive of much distress of families and females whose property was under trust, and who were compelled to take whatever terms might be offered them by Ministers : it was likewise attended with a con siderable increase to the capital of the public debt, and a corresponding retardation of the pro gress made by the sinking fund in its reduction. We repeat, that the measure of reducing interest may be politic, but that it becomes a question also whether some reference ought not to be made to the proportionate market-value of the several funds when the Chancellor of the Exche quer brings forward his alternative to the stock holders,; whose 4 per cent. capital has risen, from causes which they had no hand in pro ducing, to 4 per cent. above par, of " Give me up a fourth of your interest, or you shall lose 4 per cent. on your capital by the operation of being paid off." If this be justice, it is a harsh measure of justice.—Bid. A meeting is to be held to-morrow at the London Coffee-house, to petition the Legisia.. ture for the repeal of the Malt and Beer Duties. At present the Beer Duty falls exclusively on the poor, the Legislature having very considerably exempted those who brew their own beer from the operation of it—that is, deemed it reason able that poverty should be a ground for addi tional taxation. To remove the Malt Duty, and leave the Beer Duty, would be to exempt the rich altogether, an obvious extension of the ex isting partiality. We trust, therefore, that the people will petition for the removal of both the Malt and the Beer Duties. But it will not be enough to petition for the repeal of the duties. If we wish the people to return to their old par tiality for ale and beer, we must free the trade in these commodities from the monopoly under which it now suffers. It is the licensing pub lic-houses, which is the great cause of the dete rioration of the beer. We are not aware of any one reason for restricting the trade in beer which would not justify the restricting the trade in any other commodity ; and of this we arc certain, that whenever i❑ this country a discretionary power is given to any men, to grant or withhold a license to deal in any commodity, the power will be exercised for the benefit of the holder. Money or money's worth, in some shape or other, will always be exacted for the com munication of a privilege which is worth mo ney to the person who receives it. It has sometimes been said that the people of this country have little inclination for science ; but this must be understood with at least one excep tion—the science of jobbing, which is cultivated here as assiduously as in any country under the sun ; and the jobbing in licenses affords abund ant proof that Justices of the Peace are hot be hind any other class of citizens in their profi ciency in that science. The proper judges of public-houses arc the persons who require ac commodation in them, and not Magistrates ; and all that is necessary for the good government of the houses, and the security of the public against irregularities, is to subject them to proper regu lations, and to punish the violation of them by suitable penalties. It has been again and again proved, that the licensing houses, so far from offering any security to the public for good con duct, only promotes impunity, because the cul prit is always withdrawn in time, and his place supplied by another creature of the brewer.— The police regarding public-houses requires no aid from licensing, which indeed can serve no other purpose than that of establishing a monopoly, under which the brewers endeavour to force on the public the wretched stuff they designate by the names of beer and ale. The statement in " The Treatise on Brewing," pub lished by the Society for the Diffusion of Use ful Knowledge, that beer of the quality and strength of London porter can be made at pre sent by any one who chooses to be at the trouble for a penny-farthing a pot, has never been con tradicted. Are we to be astonished, then, that the poor should fly from this washy stuff to the gin-shop ? Every impediment is thrown in the way of the supply of en innoxious beverage of good quality, while the consumption of spirituous liquors has been favoured by lowering the duty. But while we would g i ve b eer f a ir play, we pro test against all interference with the supply o f ardent spirits beyond what is necessary for pur poses of revenue. What Burke says on this sub ject, in his " Thoughts and Details on Scarcity " is as applicrble now as ever :—" As to what is said (he observes), in a physical and moral view, against the home consumption of spirits, expe rience has long since taught me very little to re spect the declamations on that subject —whether
