THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

LONDON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29.

It is with extreme regret that we learn that his
Majesty is most seriously indisposed—since his return
from Scotland he has not, we believe, once quitted
Carlton Palace, and his spirits are said now to be in
a state to render necessary perfect repose.—The
Duke of Wellington has arrived at Congress, but he
also is labouring under great depression of spirits.—
Nothing has transpired as yet respecting the ♦iews
entertained by the Holy Alliance.

A very numerous meeting of the Livery of Lon-
don took place yesterday, at Guildhall, for the elec..-

tion of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. The
Recorder declared the show of hands to be in fa-
vour of Mr. Alderman Heygute and Mr. Alderman
Waithman. The Court then retired to select one of
those gentlemen, and on their return the Recorder
announced the choice to have fallen on the former
gentleman.

The visiters at Harrowgate, which is now 11SU-
stiully full of company, experienced an unpleasant
disappointment on Sunday. week. The Reverend
Richard Hale, Vicar of Harewood, with his cha-
racteristic benevolence, had undertaken to preach a
charity sermon on behalf of the Sunday school at-
tached to the established church at Panne!, and as
the parish church, which is at the distance of from
two to three miles, is so remote, it was determined
that he should preach in the large room, at Low
Harrowgate, called the promenade room. The
place was accordingly fitted up for tl:e purpose, and
at the appointed hour a large and very genteel am-
gregation had assembled; but just at the moment
when the worthy vicar had descended from his
chaise, a messenger from the Lord Bishop of Chester,
now at the Granby, informed him, that as the place
in which he was about to preach was unlicensed, if
he proceeded with the service he woud du it at
his peril. To this information Mr. Hale replied,
that he had the permission of the Archbishop to
preach in this unlicensed room, but that he would
wait upon his Lordship at the Granby, which he
did without delay, leaving the congregation to await
the result of the interview. With what took place
upon that tvcasion, of course we are not inflirmed,
except front report, on which, in such a case, we do
not choose to rely : but the result was, that the con-
gregation l% HS obliged to disperse without any ser-
vice, and the exhausted funds of the Sunday school,
must be replenished in some more orthodox way.
Ca the 18th instant, the Duke of Devonshire

- , -
visited the city of Cork, on which occasion he was
waited upon by a deputation from the corporation,
in order to carry into effect the resolution of pre-
senting his Grace with the freedom of the city.—
The duke subsequently dined at the Nlansion-house,
and attended the assembly-rooms in the evening.—
The duke departed from Cork the next morning, on
a visit to the Alarques of Thomond, at Rosiellan.
ECCLESIASTICAL QUARRELS.— Ott Wednesday. the IBth
instant, the Right Rev. Lord Bishop of Leighlin and Ferns, and
his Vicar General, held a visitation in the church of Carlow, for
the purpose. of examining into the charges which bad been
brought against the Regiiter of the Diocess. The Register put
in an exculpatory affidavit, which was deemed by the Court
insufficient to acquit him of the charges, the principal of which
was, " having taken the books out of the office, which had been
ordered to be restored on this day :" this order not having been
complied with, the Register was called upon to account fur his
conduct. lie stated that the books were in the pci,sessi in of the
Crown Solicitor, for the purpose of making searches relative te
the living of Carlow. The Bishop asked the Hegistes if he had
demanded the books as directed? This question was answered
in the negative by the Register, who said, that " he would not
give up the books until compelled by law, as the Court had acted
unfairly, and was an unjust tribunal." The Bishop cautioned
the Register against contempt of Court, but he still persisted in
his violent conduct, which obliged the Court to adjourn sine.
