At ten o'clock at night the following bulletin was
issued, which we sincerely regret disappoints the
hopes which were entertained from those published
in the course of the day
64 Na imtedal change has taken place in her Majesty's symp-
toms since the morning.'
Much astonishment has been excited in the City
by the Lord Mayor nut havioo• received any °fait!
bulletin of the state of her Majesty's health I:1
consequence of this deviation from the usual coune
of the Home Department, Lord Hood began on Sa-
turday to communicate to the Lurd Mayor, directly
from Brandenburgh-house.
On Sunday morning a number of persons assem-
bled round Cambridge-house, most anxiously waitiog
the arrival of the courier with the bulletin. At zt
quarter past eleven o'clock he arrived, and delivered
his express at Mr. Alderman Wood's. Shortly af-
terwards the following bulletin was issued:—
From twelve till two o'clock a great number of
persons of distinction arrived at Hammersmith, se-
veral of whom departed after the bulletin was shewn
ut two o'clock.

At half-past three o'clock a courier arrived with
the following from Lord Hood, addressed to the
Lord Mayor, which was immediately afterwards ex-
hibited at the front of the Mansion-house:—

•• Brandenburgh House. sth of August, 1821.
Nine o'Cloek, A. M.
66 Her Majesty has passed the last night better than the pre-
ceding one; but no material impnitant amendment has taken
place. " 11. AINSLIE.
•• W. G. AIAToN.
" HENRY WARREN.
" HENRY HOLLAND."
There were no prayers for her Majesty's recovery
offered up at Hammersmith on Sunday, a circum.
stance which excited considerable surprise, as it was
generally anticipated that prayers suitable to the
melancholy occasion would be read.
At half past three o'clock in the afternoon an ex-
press was sent off to the seat of 1)r. Millie, near
Cirencester, Glocestershire, to require the immediate
assistance of Dr. B. on the Queen.
The following bulletin was issued at 11 o'clock
yesterday evening:—
" Her Majesty has passed a more tranquil day, and is not
worse this evening. (Signed ae before.)]
•• Brandenburgh House, Aug. 3. ass,
11.11 f past Ten o'clock, P A."

The Dublin Evening Post of the 31st ultimo is
before us, and contains most gratifying proofs of the
desirable effect likely to be proluced by the King's
visit to Ireland. Meetings are being held in ail
parts to arrange for the reception of his Majesty ;
this is a matter of course, but the source of our
pleasure is the very apparent wish shewn by Pro-
testants and Catholics to oblivionize their too long
remembered antipathies. Conciliation seems deter-
mined upon, and we religiously hope that no into.
lerant Bigot may be allowed to mar so beneficent a
resolve.—A Privy Council was hell on the 31st ult.
to which the following letter was communicated :or
the Lord Lieutenant :
" Stepltcn's Green, 30th July. Int.
" MY Loan,— l ant commanded by the King to write your
Excellency, that it is his Matjoiy's intention to rendezvous in
Holyhead harbour, and there to remain until your Excellency
shall be enabled to acquaint his Mojesty, that the Authorities of
Dublin are ready to receive him.
" His Majesty has been gtaciouly pleased to adopt this ar-
rangement, with a view to relieve his faithful Irish subjects frost
the smpense and uncertainty of time which unavoidably attend a
sea voyage.
Withgreat respect I have the honour to be, my Lord, your
Excellency s obedient humble servant,
" B. BLOOMFIELD.
" His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant." _ _ _

It was immediately ordered that this proof of his
Majesty's consideration of his Irish subjects should
be published in every possible manner.

On Saturday night, about ten o'clock, as a woman
named Esther Knight, who resided at Crowan
Church-town, Cornwall, was taking leave of a per-on
who had accompanied her from markzt, she said,
that from the appearance of the atmosphere, she
fiat...a there was a tire in the direction of her son's
house, which was at some distance. Becoming
alarmed, she called her daughter, who had gone to
bed, and who arose and followed her' mother half
dressed. The daughter passed the old woman, and
on coming to her brother's house found it was on
fire. The owner of the house and wife had gone to
Helston market, from which they had not returned,
leaving two children at home, who were with diffi-
culty rescued from the flames; a few articles of fur..
niture only were saved. After some time the young
woman who had been Ladled out of bed, was re: orti ing
home to put on the remainder of her clothes, when
she stumbled over a person who hail fallen across
the road; and making an alarm, the person was
taken up, and proved to be her mother, who had
dropped dead from fright before she could reach her
eon's house. Every means were tried to restore ani-
mation, but in vain. The poor girl nus so alarmed
at this second shock, that she was seised with hys-
teric fits, and now lies in a very precarious state.....-
The fire was occasioned by one of the children placing
a candle so as to communicate to the thatch with
which the house was covered.
