THE KING. ,(From the London Medical Gazette, June 12.) -We have received numerous requests to afford some particulars of the King's illness. It is obvious that were we in possession of the infor mation required, it would be indelicate and im proper to enter into details. Neither, indeed, is there any thing remarkable in his Majesty's case, or different from other instances of organic disease in the chest ending in dropsy ; unless, indeed, it be the manner in which the Royal patient has several times rallied when the fatal result seemed to be imminent ;—a circumstance chiefly to be attributed to the skill of his at tendants, and the unremitting attention with which 1 , .e is watched. We understand that the most powerful diuretics have failed to produce the desired effects, and the serous effusion con tinuing to accumulate, in spite of the artificial means adopted for its exit—the permanent diffi culty of breathing has increased to a most dis tressing extent, and become attended with great anxiety and exhaustion. Every means which science can suggest has, of course, been adopted to relieve the Royal sufferer : among these, the most successful in procuring sleep and intervals of ease, have been opiates, and, we- believe, among others, morphia ; while the more violent paroxysms of impeded respiration have been in some degree mitigated by the volatile alkali, and other diffusible stimulants. HIS MAJESTY'S' PROFESSIONAL ATTENDANTS . We would not mix up our notice of the royal patient with any allusion to the infamous attacks which have been made upon his medical attend ants ; but the honour of our profession re quires that we should not suffer them to pass unanswered. It was asserted in the Lancet last week, and the statement was copied into several newspapers, that one of the physicians had signed the Bul letins without seeing his Majesty, and of course without being personally acquainted with the cir cumstances to which he certified ; in, short that Sir Matthew Tierney, although his name has regularly appeared, was not consulted by, nor even did see his Majesty, for nearly twelve days." It is difficult to conceive a graver charge than this, or one made with more circumstantial or deliberate minuteness of detail than appears in the paper from which it is taken. Yet do we pronounce a c ontradiction, as strong and une quivocal as words can make it--that the accu sation is a gross and malignant falsehood, which the general tenor of the article which contains it leads us to fear is intended to serve some in triguing party and personal purpose. This story comes from the same quarter, and has precicely the same claim to our belief, as that about Sir Astley Cooper, which we proved, as well by the official statement which we published last week as by the letter of the distinguished surgeon alluded to, to be " without any foundation in truth ;" and with regard to the present calumny, we pledge the character of our journal for our accuracy, in asserting that it is wholly without foundation, and as false in statement as it is scandalous in design. We would also willingly remove the idea which the Lancet has been anxious to propagate, under the flimsy pretence of respect for his medical skill—that some slight has been shown to Sir Astley Cooper. Now we would remark, that when, on the 6th of June, 1829, we find Sir Astley compared to " Dr. Eady, of Church-street, Soho," who is represented as skewing professionally "an example worthy of speedy imitation to the Serjeant- Surgeon of our King ;" and when, on the sth of June, 1830—being precisely one year after —we find the same writer speaking of the dis• tioguished Baronet in terms of eulogy which form such a contrast to the unmeasured insolence of his former lucubrations—we say, that when we observe this extraordinary contrast, we may fairly question the sincerity of a writer whose opinions have undergone so great a revolution. Here, however, our principal object is to correct the error, because it has appeared in several respectable papers, and among others in the Courier :—lt is not correct to say that Sir Astley Cooper has been superseded, for he has not recently been in attendance. In fact, Sir Astley has not been consulted by the King since he was elevated to the rank of " Serjeant-Sur geon ;" at which time Mr. Brodie and Mr. Ward rop were appointed " Surgeons to the Body." It is the specific duty of the Serjeant-Surgeon to attend the King when he goes to battle, and hence the military turn of the phrase—while it is the business of the surgeons to the body to visit him on ordinary occasions. His Majesty's present malady is one of those which is allotted to physicians, but which happens to require the assistance of a surgeon to carry some of the ne cessary measures into effect :—and it is remark able, that while Mr. Wardrop was supposed to be in attendance, the Lancet was perfectly satis fied with the arrangement. Had his Majesty's case been surgical, then, of course, more than one eminent surgeon would have been consulted, and their names would have been attached to the Bulletins. Probably, under such circum stances, Sir Astley Cooper's assistance might have been required ; but his holding the office of Sejeant-Surgeon does not, by any means, make this smatter of course ;—the late Sir P. Macgregor, for instance, who held the office of Serjeant-Surgeon, never was consulted by his Majesty. (From the Lancet.) The nation is unanimous in demanding why the mediC.7 l I attendants of his Majesty, who daily sign the Bulletins, ad here with so much pertinacity, if not impertinence, to the vague and unmeaning expressions which they employ, relative to the distressing condition of our revered Sove reign. Still is the public insulted, still are the feelings of the people derided, by such expressions as better "night," " little sleep," " distressing day," and " refreshing sleep ;" and the Royal sufferer really appears, from the repetition f the phrase "embarrassed breathing," to be twitted with that effect of his malady while at the very verge of the grave. It is of course the object in issuing the Bulletins, to convey information ; and if this be acknowledged, why are these documents so scandalously, so ambiguously framed ? By the constitution of this country, the people have a right to insist upon the fullest information at all times respecting the bodily health of their Sovereign. It is alleged as an excuse for the absence of all information in the Bulletins, that they are inspected by, or read to, his llajesty before publication. Good f,t'od ! is it possible that the same system of delusion which has been so long practised upon the people, is in furl operatiou upon the mind of his Majesty at this critical moment ? Is it i.Ofi sible that he who holds the seeptre of this nation, and who, unhappily,is labouring under a lease from which, a ss we stated in our last, there is not a singia instance of vacavery upon record,—is it possible, we say, that our l ove ivign, thus circumstanwl, is each day told by his l confidential medical advisers that he has merely passed a t‘had night," a " better night," a good night ;" that bia " symptbins" are " alleviated," that his " embarrass snot of breathing" is less! Now the magician and his 'satellites de 4aere placed upon the horns of a dilesama, from whies €o iescape, without disgrace, or something svcirie, its uttifeimpossible. They either are acquainted, c ithey.tiro4iot acquainted, with the disease of his Ma ,jeoty, agd the danger to which be is exposed. If the former, then tbt are guilty of having wilfully withheld the re * See Lancet of that date page 309 quired information from the public. If the latter, then are they inadequate to the execution of the high duties com mitted to their charge. It was doubtless convenient, and in strict accordance with" invisible" influence and tactics, that a physician who had not seen his patient should d a ily sign the Bulletins. Yet was this treatment of the public becoming ? Was it proper also, that his Majesty, in his critical situation, should have been left in charge of a single medical attendant ? Many persons, in deed, can scarcely credit the fact, that Sir Matthew Tier ney really signed either of the Bulletins without having previously ascertained the condition of his patient. Such, nevertheless, is the fact, and we repeat it upon what we consider to be the best authority. The attendance of Sir Henry Halford may have been deemed sufficient for me dical and some other purposes; he is a practical physician. though unknown in the paths of science, and has long been considered an useful man at Court. We know not from what cause, but his Majesty's feelings during several days were, we understand, very unfriendly towards Sir M. Tierney, and had not the indisposition of Sir W. Knights n rendered it necessary, in conformity with the arrangements of the magician, that Sir Matthew should become one of the night-watch, it is a question, we apprehend, whether he would again have felt the pulse of the Royal sufferer. Strange to tell, the Bulletins were signed by a physician who, for a time, had not seen his patient, and towards whom, on more than one occasion, that patient bad ex pressed himself in terms bordering on actual dislike. Is there not " invisible" influence ? The Bulletins alone, indeed, too clearly show us that there is something wrong, and the sphere of the magician's manoeuvres is not, probably con fined to a sick chamber, though we trust that he is inno cent of having had anyshare in certain recent plots against the Noble Premier. The Duke possesses too much dis crimination, and too high a sense of honour, to endeavour to maintain by low intrigues the power which he has ac quired by his frank, manly, and open conduct. If he con tinue to pursue the straightforward course that he has hi therto travelled, he may smile with contempt, without the aid of a magician, upon the serpentine movements of his enemies. It may be well, however, for his Grace to em ploy a more distrustful eye when within the purlieus of the palace, and to notice with especial care the falsehoods, omissions, and additions of the Court Circular, a pub lication which is concoc'ed and arranged with the aid and assistance of Sir Frederick Watson, under " invisible" in fluence. By the way, Sir Frederick is one of the most accomplished writers of the age, and has long been a dex terous labourer in the Court vineyard. The veil which conceals the proceedings of the palace from public view is almost as thick, dense, and impene trable, as the globe itself. It seems to be a benighted, en chanted castle, where none can thrive, if not enlisted under the banners of the great magician, who, by his mysterious, " invisible," and irresistible influence, can lay open by a single touch of his magical wand the d e epest of its re cesses, or render silent the most turbulent of its tongues. As the enchanter works by " invisible" influence, the public might well despair of ever obtaining any knowledge of the means by which his extraordinary power has been acquired and exercised, were it not that both he and his convenient agents will soon have an opportunity afforded to them of giving,—nay, there will speedily be extracted from them by the iron hand of the law,—same account of their sybilline mysteries. The public will not be surprised to learn, that a cause is now pending in the Court of King's Bench, which will require the attendance of Sirs William Knighton, F. Watson, W. Waller, IL Halford, M. Tier ney, and others of their grade and occupation. If we mistake not, the exhibition to be presented on this oc casion will astound the thinking part of the community, and must claim, at last, the undivided attention of Parliament. His Majesty, we regret to say, is in as alarming a state as ever. The integuments have been again punctured, but his body and extremities, from the immense collection of water, are still enormously swollen. In the manage ment of the Royal sufferer, the attendants experience con siderable difficulty in inducing him to take proper medi cines, food, and dt ink. The King does not consider that his case is hopeless. From private information, however, we can only say, that although in our opinion ultimate re covery is impossible, immediate dissolution is not inevitable. The medicines which have been administered for some time past, have consisted chiefly of tether, and the sedative tincture of opium. (From the Court Circular.) The following was the Bulletin of yesterday : " Windsor Castle, June 11, 1830. " The KING has experienced rather less difficulty in his respiration yesterday. His MAJESTY has had a good night. " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." His MAJESTY, it was understood, passed a snore favour able night on Thursday night than he has done for some weeks past. Sir HENRY HALFORD left the Palace last evening about six o'clock, for London, and was not expected to return till this morning. This is the first time that Sir HENRY has been absent from the Palace for a fortnight. Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY remained in attendance at the Palace during the day. At the King's Palace, St. James's, the Bulletin was shown to the Nobility and Gentry by Lord CLINTON (Lord), and Sir W. HOUSTON (Groom) in waiting. Among the inquirers were M.

It appears by the Court Circular, and by our private letter, that the KING has rallied in a manner which has surprised all his attendants. There must be considerable force of mind as well as of constitution to bear up so stoutly under the oppression of so afflicting and exhaust. ing a disease. Is it not possible that the remedy recom mended by a correspondent in the Times of yesterday might be advantageously applied ? One thing is pretty generally known—that the physicians have been greatly at fault in their calculations. We do not say that they misunderstand his MAJESTY'S c,omplaint, but they have more than once been considerably mistaken in their prog nostications. WINDSOR, EIGHT O'CLOCK, FRIDAY EYENIWp. Up to this time the KING continues somewhat better than he was in the morning. .nere de not appear to be such strong symptoms of im mediate ,'Lssolution as there were a day or two since. Au a proof, Sir IirTNRY HALFORD has left to-night at six o'clock for Londorri Arid will not return to the Cast l e t il l the morning. No arrivals whatever at the C,3 stle to-day. (From the Morning Herald.) WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENINa. The Official Bulletin of this morning has merely told us that " the KING experienced rather less difficulty in his respiration yesterday"—(thereby verifying my statement of yesterday evening)—and that " hie MAJESTY has had a good night." But Court rumour goes further, and says,—"• The KING ia decidedly better to-day dg) he was yesterday ; and my private information goes farther still, and says the KING is so much better that his physi ei,ms are quite puzzled ; fur, though he was so ill on Mon- : day night that they expected each succeeding hour would be his last, and though he has by no means followed their dietary prescriptions since th,!tt alarming night, yet he is age 34 hourly improving in health. Still it e.e.exes to he generally acknowipdged that leis MAJESTY'S constitution, Wong as it is, has heel,s so much shaken within the last foittaigbt- , -and especially by /he attack of Monday last—that he may be carded off bud • i deniy.,--even in the midst of an apparently impro,ved state; of health ; and that, though his present " rally" may enable him to live comparatively free from pain for many months, yet there is no hope of his ultimate recovery. There have been no visitors whatever at the Castle to day—not even a single inquirer after the health of the KlNG—except those constant and daily inquirers, ths ve nerablebythe arl of HARCOURT and his Lady.

" His MAJESTY passed another good night: (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. "MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." The Duke of WELLINGTON left town this mom ing for Windsor Castle. An Express from Paris has brought the Gazette de France dated Friday, the Moniteur, the Mes sager des Chambres, and the other Papers of Thurs day. The following are the most important parti culars which they contain respecting the Expedition and the Funds. By Monday we may expect to hear something more decisive with respect to the Expedition : TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. " TOULON, JUNE 8, FIVE O'CLOCK, P. M, " The corvette the Diligente arrived at Toulon on the Bth, left the Bay of Palma (Majorca) on the 2d. At the moment of its departure the fleet was detained by contrary winds. All the ships had joined, and the whole were in the best possible order. —Moniteur. "It appears that the Duke of Wellington loses no time. It is asserted as a positive fact, that a defensive and offensive alliance has been concluded between England and the Porte. It is as serted, that England has guaranteed to the Porte the integrity of its possessions in Europe, Asia, and Africa, including Algiers." —National. " PARIS STOCK EXCHANGE. " THURSDAY, FIVE O'CLOCK. " The death of the King of England, announced positively on 'Change, and the fall in the English Consols, the natural conse quence, was a good reason to dread a considerable fall in our funds. At the commencement of business, the fall in effect was great, but by degrees, the speculators recovered their spirits, and all the public securities left oft' tolerably firm. " The Three per Cents. opened at 77f. 20c., fell to 76f. 70c., went up to 77f. 1.5 c., and left off at 76f. 90c. "The Five per Cents. were very abundant for money; they left off at 102 f. 70c., but for the end of the month they left of at 103 f. sc. " The Neapolitan left off at 85f. sellers, and the Rentes Per petuelles at 72%. " The holders of the Haytian Annuities manifested a good deal of disquietude.

" A private letter from Madrid, contained in the Courier de Bayonne of the 3d instant, states, that, according to well-in formed persons in that capital, the Spanish Government has come at length to the resolution of acknowledging the Cortes Bonds, which will be included in a financial operation of great magnitude, contemplated by M. Ballasteros. The same letter adds, that M. Aguado's projected journey ti) Madrid (for whose safety escorts of cavalry will be kept in readiness, by the orders of Government, between Bayonne and Madrid,) is connected with this operation, which will have for its object to consolidate the whole internal debt of Spain." A private letter, dated Thursday evening, states, that it was denied on the part of the Government that the expedition had been on the coast of Algiers, and had then gone or returned to Palma in consequence of contrary winds ; but notwithstanding this denial, it has transpired that the fieet had at least made sail from Palma, and had been forced to return to its anchoring ground. . . . . . " A report was circulated yesterday on the Exchange, that a telegraphic despatch brought the news of the arrival of the fleet, without any accident, within view of Algiers. " The Semaphore of Marseilles, of the 9th of June says— ' There was a report here yesterday afternoon that a steam-vessel arrived during the night at Toulon, and brought an account that a landing of 11i,000 men had been effected on the coast of Algiers without any obstacle.'

A supplement to the Allgemeine Zeitung of the sth inst. contains the following extracts, which will be found interesting at the present moment. What truth there is in that relative to Algiers remains to be seen, but it certainly gives colour to former re ports : DARMSTADT, MAY 29.—We are looking /forward with great expectation to the re-opening of our Chambers. Among the more important discourses that will take place in consequence of the change in the Government, will be that on the Civil List, which, according to the Constitution, is fixed, in concert with the Estates, at the accession of the Grand Duke, and during his reign cannot be diminished without his consent, or increased without that of the Estate. Another important,subject will bethe Budget, which,lit is apprehended, notwithstanding. all possible reductions, will still be such as perhaps even to require an in crease of the taxes. Great hopes arc entertained from the cha racter of the Grand Duke. (From the Courrier de Smyrne.) ALEXANDRIA, MARCH Munault sets out to-night with M. Langdorf for Cairo, where the conferences with the. Viceroy will take place. M. Hadie will depart to-morrow for France. —The political communications between the two Governments are at this moment as active as they are secret. Nobody now en tertains any doubt of the object of the negociations, but there are different reports of the details of the important Treaty which is now in progress. All, however, agree, that France is to pay the Viceroy twenty millions of francs, the half of the sum imme diately. Mehemet Ali is said to engage his side to co-operate with the French army in the reduction of Algiers, to expel the oppressors of that country, then to retain possession of it himself, and to establish a Government more conformable to the state of Civilization in Europe. It is added, that the two contracting 'parties also intend to conquer Tunis and Tripoli. The aid which the Viceroy is to contribute towards the execution of this vast project will consist in a corps of 20,000 cavalry, 16,000 of which are to be raised among theßedouins, and the remainder to consist of the Hussars that have been organized since the return of Ibrahim Pacha from the Morea. As for the infantry the amount is very differently reported, sometimes at twenty thousand, and sometimes only eight thousand men. The latter is certainly more' in proportion to the state of the Egyp tian army. The cavalry to proceed by land, and the infantry to be conveyed by sea to Derna. It is said that the principal Eu ropean Powers have agreed with France respecting the execu. tion of this great measure, which is so important to the tranquil lity and dignity of Christendom. MARCH 26.—The fleet, which had returned into port, has sailed again to practise naval evolutions in sight of the coast. The Viceroy is the more resolved to keep it in constant exercise, as on every occasion of its weighing anchor there have been many proofs of the inexperience of the crews, At Rosetta there is a corps of 8,000 men, and the greatest activity:is observed all along the coast. New works are constructing at various points. Per sons who always see reason to apprehend a breach between the Divan and Mehemet Ali, imagine that these preparations are making in consequence of the armaments going on at Constanti. nople ; many others conceive, however, that the preparations of the Porte are intended for Candia, and that the precautions of the Viceroy have a view to events which are' indeed) uncer. Min but which prudence may foresee as the consequences of public opinion in Europe with respect to the possessions of the Ottoman empire. —(Though we have much later accounts from Alexandria, this article is interesting as coming from a different source.) Letters from China have been received this morn ing to Feb. 1. The dispute with the Chinese had not terminated, but negotiations were pending, The Hon.

The question in this case was whether the Master's re• port should be confirmed or not, allowing 2501. in addition to the 400/. a year to Mr. Robertson, as treasurer and receiver of Covent-garden Theatre? Mr. Robertson, previous to sustaining his joint character of treasurer and receiver, acted for several years as receiver only at a salary of 2501. a year; after his appointment to the office of treasurer he had 400/. a year, and for several years carried in his demand for 4001. without any additional' claim whatever ; subsequently he claimed the sum of 10001. In respect of 2501. a year, which he alleged he ought to have been paid ultra the 400/. a year he had been receiving. The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that all the duties of treasurer, which Mr. Robertson had per formed originally,were included in the proposal he had carried in before the Master (as duties which he would have to perform as treasurer and receiver) previously to his being appointed receiver, except those of box-book and house keeper; and under such circumstances the Court was of opinion, as well from the series of accounts which Mr. Robertson himself had made out and carried in, in respect of his salary, after he had been appointed receiver, that he was not entitled to more than he had received, namely, the 400/. a year. This was to be considered without prejudice to any claim Mr. Robertson might be advised to carry in on account of having performed the duties of box-book and housekeeper. ROLLS COURT. JUDGMENT.-BAGLEY V. MOLLARD. The MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment in this case. The testator, John Mollard, had given a leasehold estate to trustees upon certain trusts, after the satisfying of which the surplus was to be applied to the maintenance of Elizabeth, the only surviving child of the testatator's son William. In the latter part of his will the testator gave his residuary estate unto, between, and among all and every the children of his sans, James and William, and alto his daughter Mary Pagley, as should be living at the time of his death, and the question for the decision of the Court was, whether Elizabeth (an ille gitimate child), could take under the general residuary gift. The leading authority on this subject was the case of Wilkinson v. Adams. The Learned Judges who as sisted the Lord Chancellor in that case were of opinion that illegitimate children could take under the word " children." Lord Eldon doubted whether that could be the case, and declared his opinion to be, that under such general words illegitimate children could not take. With that Learned Judge's opinion his Honour entirely con curred, the consequence of which would be the bill would have to be dismissed, the opinion of the Court being, that Elizabeth was not entitled to share in the residue of the testator's property.

Consols, 92i CHARING-CROSS AND STRAND IM- PROVE3IENTS. Yesterday a Meeting of Tradesmen and others, residing in the vicinity of the above improvements, was held at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur-street, to consider the propriety of peti tioning Parliament for remuneration for the severe losses they are sustaining through the removal of the houses in the neigh bourhood, and the long-continued dilapidations. J. C. HOBHOUSE, Esq. M.P. in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN, after observing upon the great delay that had taken place in completing the improvements, stated that he had applied to the Commissionors of Woods and Forests on the subject, and the answer he received from Lord Lowther and Mr. Arbuthnot was, that the funds placed in their hands were small, and that they could not proceed with greater rapidity, nor grant the remuneration applied for. He concluded by expressing his willingness to support a Petition to Parliament, detailing the facts of the case. Many most respectable Tradesmen in the Strand and elsewhere stated that they had sustained great losses by the ruinous condi tion the houses to be pulled down were left in. One said he had not had a customer in his shop for nine days the fact was, that ladies and others of their friends were positively afraid to go in the neighbourhood of the Strand, for, if they were not killed, they knew they should be covered with dust. Another Trades man said he had lost 1,0001. in two years ; and a third stated that his business had decreased one-half. Mr. MIDGLEY, another gentleman, addressed the Meeting on the ruinous consequences of the long-protracted improve ments; and ultimately a series of Resolutions were agreed to, which stated the severe losses sustained by the removal of the neighbourhood, and referred in strong terms to the delay which had taken place in making the improvements.—A Petition to Parliantent, founded on the Resolutions, and praying relief, was also . adopted: 7 4Thafilts were then voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting adjourned. A Report has prevailed that the Duke of CAMBRIDGE has been sent for to England by the Duke of WELLINGTON. This is incorrect. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE (probably with the knowledge and approval of the Duke of WELLINGTON) was the per aqn who wrote to the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, urging the propriety of his paying a speedy visit to hie Royal Brother at Windsor. There wag no politiCal object in volved in this invitation.— Court Journal. • - There seems to be a growing disposition among the monied men here,• to make investments in French stock, notwithstanding that the situation of that country is such, in the opinion of the more intelligent FFrench merchants, as to impair its credit and to threaten a riher ileprpgcm, The more obvious reasons for investing now are, the fall wMcli Ilia - lately taken piece, and thz. higher rate of interest afforded by the French stock, the security of which is esteemed, in the long run, not to be inferior to any ; and as most of the English holders had the sagacity to sell on the first change of the French 31i p;stry, since which a fall of 5 or 6 per cent. has taken considerable advantage to resume ireirarftiermaebrlePons°iEnlv.i—tiTimei:.

The meeting was brought to a conclusion yesterdays after four days' excellent sport : it cannot be denied, how' ever, that it has been unusually flat, the weather (except' ing yesterday) having been as bad, and the company es thin, as the races were good. The heavy rains that have fallen in the course of the week, have not had any preju dicial effect on the turf, which is still in the best order for running, owing solely to the complete manner in which the course bas been drained under Lord Maryborough's directions. The police were numerous and effective, giv* ing great assistance in clearing the course; the thimble rig, however, was carried on with the utmost effrontery at the back of the stands, and was almost the only species of swindling that turtle] to profit. One gentleman (or r a ther simpleton) dropped 20 sovereigns and a gold cup in as many minutes; several others bled freely. There was an abun dance of gaming booths; and two or three of the most fashionable had brisk play, but the majority of their pro prietors complained that they had not cleared their c%' penses. A similar complaint was vented by the pickpockets , who declared that they never knew business so slack, and that, when a chance did present itself, the " Pollies" were seen to get in the way. Down the road the innkeepers bad not a fifth part of the custom of last year, the coaches not being half loaded, except on the Cup day, and ev en then many of them were short of their complement As a proof of the smallness of the company, yesterday in par ticular, we met on our road to the races snore gentlemen's carriages returning from them than we saw on the way thither. From the names of the subscribers to the Second Meeting, some good sport may be expected—it is fixed for the 24th August, the Egham races taking place the ensu ing week. Hampton races will be on Wednesday and Thursday next.
