(From the Morning Journal.)

The Bulletin of yesterday unhappily informs us that—
" The KING'S symptoms have not varied. His MA-
JESTY has passed another bad night."
This distressing information will, of necessity, create
great alarm throughout the country. His MAJESTY'S
physicians have been, for the first time, somewhat ex-
plicit. It is with the deepest regret we find them com-
municating melancholy intelligence in terms that canrwt
be misunderstoonl. Their jesuitical style can be continued
no longer. The KING of England is, however, in the
hands of the KING of KINGS, and most devoutly do we
pray, in common with every subject of the realm, that
GEORGE THE FOURTH may yet be spared to rule over us.

The Spanish and Bavarian Ministers had in-
terviews on Saturday with the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the

DEEN visited the Duke of WELLINGTON on Saturday after-
noon, at the Treasury, after the return of his Grace from
Windsor.

MAY-DAY FETE AT HOLLY-LODGE.—
Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of ST. ALBAN'S en-
tertained a large party of fashionables at their beautiful
villa, Holly-lodge, near Highg,ate, on Saturday. The
company bean to a,semble between one and two o'clock.
An Evening Paper mentions that it was the anniversary
of their marriage, but this is incorrect—their wedding-
day comes later in the year.
Yesterday, being the first Sunday in Easter
Term, the Judges, accompanied by the Serjeants-at-Law
and King's Counsel, attended divine service at St. Paul's.

Captain MARRYAT'S Tale of die Sea (THE
KING'S OWN) is now, we believe, just ready for publica
thin. The author is likely to prove a formidable competitor
of COOPER. Scarcely any of our late naval stories have
carried mettle enough to dispute the supremacy of the
transatlantic novelist, but the strength, the smart sailing,
and the bravery of " THE KING'S owN" are likely to cause
a hard struggle with the American.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The Committee
of this theatre had appointed Saturday, at twelve o'clock,
to receive tenders, and decide on the person who should
become the future lessee. Up to a late period of the
morning but one tender had been sent in ; but on the
Committee assembling there were, it is said, no less than
six offers. We are credibly informed that Mr. CHARLES
WRIGHT, the box-office-keeper, offers 9,0001. per an-
num, and that Mr. Busx, who came from Dublin for
the purpose, has made an offer of 8,0001. Among the
candidates are, we understand, KEAN, WALLACK, and
BaAHAM. The day for the acceptance of one of these
gentlemen is fixed for next Saturday week.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.-011 Saturday
evening a new grand historical opera was brought out
with great splendour and effect, under the title of Hofer
the Tell of the Tyrol. R. H. Bisime, so successful in
the adaptation of Rossi Ni's music to the English stage,
has in this instance worked upon the celebrated opera of
Guillaume Tell. The beautiful productions of that
great master in 'William Tell, are judiciously introduced
to the public, and it is almost unnecessary to add that an
exquisite treat is provided for the lovers of practical
t rumTenhtes
music. The opera not only comprehends the melodious
union
, but the dance, ge•ture,
poetry,
scenery and dresses are
magnificent, and we may say, there is nothing wanting to
and sciences. and
i n s
charm the sight and the ear. The house was crowded
almost to suffocation. A more brilliant and enlightened
auditory has not been seen within the walls of Old Drury.
In order to make the music of IVilliam Tell apply to a
subject equally exalted, the history of the Tyrolean Patriot
of
d a voicesh
IloFxn has been selected.

SPLENDID METEOL—About twelve o'clock
on Monday night a large awl beautiful meteor was seen
from Cheltenham, falling from an immense height per-
pendicularly towards the earth. It presented the ap-
pearance of a globe of fire about the size of the moon
when at full, and during the few seconds it was visible,
the summits and sides of Leckhampton and the adjacent
hills were clothed in the silvery light produced by so mag-
nificent and brilliant a phenomenon. During the greater
part of its rapid descent the flame was of a blueish white,
and remarkably vivid ; but as it approached the horizon
it became a deep red, although the night was clear and
starlight.—Monmouth Merlin.
