STATE OF THE GOVERNMENT HEALTH.

THE anxiety which has been generally felt in consequence of the
critical disorder to which several members of the Royal Family have
recently been subjected, and under which some of them are still
suffering, has diverted the public mind from the sanitary condition of
the (loverfunent, which appears, however, to have ucensioncd, of late,
considerable uneasiness to the friends and supporters of the present
Administration. The Morning Adrertiaer, a highly liberal and pro-
gressive journal, and therefore, we conclude, in the confidence of
several members of the existing Cabinet, authentically alarmed the
world at the beginning of the week by publishing a regular bulletin of
the health of Whitehall and Downing-street. The fact is, the consti-
tution of the Government is not very strong, and it was originally
ordered by its medical attendants to try a milder climate. Nice, we
believe, was mentioned. It suffered very much in the earlier part of
the session, from a seiies of bad nights ; but as the spring advanced
it seemed to rally, and its friends were very sanguine of its permanent
establishment. Of late, however, it has experienced a relapse. The
prevalenee of Easterly blasts has, no doubt, been very trying for it;
Sir HENRY HOLLAND and 1)r. Fitnarsos have, we understand, been
called in since the appearance of the bullotin of the Morning ildrertiaer.
The indisposition of the various members of the Cabinet bikes, we
hear, a very different form, though they are all in seine degree suffer-
ing. That of Lord P.u.mintsTos is an indisposition to go clown to his
°thee ; while that of Lord CLARENDON, on the other hand, is an India-
position to believe that the Russians have taken possession of the
principalities. The indisposition of Mr. Gi.snwrost: to eomprehend
that Exchequer Bills are at a discount is, we are assured, extremely
painful. Lord John Ruionmes late attack was entirely all indisposition to
acknowledge that he was no longer the Leader of the House of
Commons. Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH'S cutuplaint is, that untlishion-
able people will persist in considering him a Radical ; while the com•
plaint of the Duke of NEWCASTLE IN, that he is not Leader of the
House of Lords. The Duke of ARGYLL'S indisposition to follow any
opinion except his own increases daily ; while the infirmity of Mr.
SIDNEY Many= consists merely of an indisposition to ring his Us.
His uncle, Count WonoNzow, the Governor of Odessa, has recom-
mended him to practise daily '• God sore the K ',spew of Bussio," and we
hear with the best effect. Lord A amincEs's bite attack was entirely
indigestion, a surfeit of Caviare : tincture of Turkey rhubarb is the
remedy reconnnended by the faculty, but his Lordship has a great
repugnance to it.

PROCURING himself a Commtssionership of Insolvency. The wags
may the Coalition have thus introduced the " potato disease" into the
Courts of Law. GILBERT it BECKETT must now feel that his own joko
is capped, and that his only resource is to turn beadle or Baptist
minister.

Mn. LATATitill MOTION on the peril of Constantinople mny have
some affinity to Mr. lizoon's interpellations on the Kildare election.
Is the former a Nineveh as the latter was an Irish Bull ; and, if so,
what is the distinction or relationship between them?
