THE KING'S HEALTH.

(From the Morning Herald.)
Wt/insoa, 12 O'CLOCK, MONDAY NlGHT.—Within
the last few hours there has been so great a change in the
state of the KING's health that the most ►erious apprehen-
sions are entertained of his almost immediate dissolution.
After the physicians issued the Bulletin this morning his
MAJESTY fell asleep, and continued apparently in sound
repose for several hours. About one o'clock the Duchess
of GLOUCESTER and the Princess AUGUSTA arrived at the
Castle, and were in conversation with his MAJESTY for
nearly three hours, and, having taken refreshment, they
departed, and the KING again sunk into repose. Some
time afterwards the Physicians entered the Royal bed-
chamber, and found his MAJESTY reposing in his usual
position, but with his hands placed together—seemingly
in the attitude of prayer ; and they imme-liately retired.
in a short time they again entered the room, and imme-
diately perceived that the KING was materially worse, and
they submitted to his MAJESTY the propriety of issuing
another Bulletin. To this his MAJESTY signified a strong
objection; and his Physicians immediately despatched one
of the KING'S private messengers to the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON. Between seven and eight o'clock his Grace ar-
rived at the Castle; anti left about half-past ten on his re-
turn to town. What took place on his arrival I am not
yet able to inform you ; nor can I yet inform you whether
there is any alteration in the state of the KING ; but should
any thing materi .11y occur before the morning you shall
hear of it.
This is a deplorable and most unexpected change. Not
fire weeks ago, by his MAJESTY'S order, the number of
workmen were doubled at the Royal Lodge, in order that
the new dining-room, in which his MAJESTY proposed to
entertain a large pirty during the races, might be com-
pleted ; and it was only in the af ernoon of Monday last,
that his- MAJESTY, in the course of a long conversation
with Lord MAILYBOROUGH, said, " I hope yet to be at
Ascot before the last day of the races !" At that in-
terview the KING desired Lord MARYBOROITGII to let every
thing connected with the races be conducted precisely the
same as though he himself were present ; and so little
did his Lordship anticipate the very alarming change which
has taken place, that he came to the Castle this afternoon,
from his seat at Fern-hill, in the expectation of receiving
some further instructions from the KING, on the subject of
his stud.

The fourth Annual General Meeting of thy'
,
Medical Provident Institution in Scotland, was held
in the Hall of the Royal College of Physicians, on
Wednesday, the 2d instant. We are happy to ob'
serve, from the very interesting report of the dire"
tors, read at the meeting, that this excellent institution,
which has ever had our best wishes, is beginning to re'
ceive that support from the medical profession to which 1
have ever considered it so well entitled. We would particu-
larly call the attention of practitioners in the country to tbi°
Institution ; all the benefits it grants are unattainable i°
any other society, and from what we consider the very jai;
eious proposal of the directors, stated in their report, and
which was received with approbation, and unanimouslY
adopted by the meeting, namely, to throw open the benefit°
of the Institution to the families and relations of the medial
profession, they will now have an opportunity of maliio;
provision against all the casualties and contingencies °'

in whom they are most deeply interested.—Caledonia)

INFANTICIDE AND SUICIDE.—An inquest
was taken by Mr. TODD, on Saturday last, at East Wel'
low, near Romsey, on the bodies of SARAH, the wife'
and JOHN, the infant and only son, of Mr...lonst PETTY,
respectable inhabitant of that place, whose deaths °court°
under the following distressing circumstances :.—The de'
ceased Mrs. Prrrv, who bad been married several yesoit
and was the mother of four children, of whom the youngest
(the deceased infant) was about two years of age, had Pr
some time been labouring under severe depression of spirit!
occasioned by erroneous impressions en the subject of reh-
gion. On Friday last, she appeared somewhat calm, ,b 5
slept unsoundly that night. Very early on Saturday
morning her husband left her, as he had been accustomed,'
and went into the children's room on the opposite ail
of the passage. At about five o'clock the decease"
got up, and having dressed herself, and the infant 0
usual, called her husband, who did not immediatelf
rise. Before six, however, he was alarmed at hearing
her go into the bed-room, and shut the door, a cir-
cumstance so unusual as to induce him to go to the
spot ; hut before he arrived there his fears were much in-
creased by hearing her turn the lock. No reply being
returned to his demand of admittance, except a faint
shriek from the child, he ran down stairs, overwhelmed
with terror, for a hatchet, to burst open the door; but,
before his return, it was opened by the deceased herself,
presenting to the distracted husband a scene of the utmost
horror. On the floor, which was deluged with blood, lei
the body of his infant, with a cord twisted round its necks
and its head nearly severed from the body. Close to the
door stood his unfortunate wife, then in the act of repeat-
ing a gash already made in her throat by a razor, which
was with difficulty wrested from her hand. The corn"
mission of these leads was succeeded by the most violent
phrenzy, and, after struggling for about half an hour In
the bands of her husband and some neighbours, whom the
cries of the other children had attracted to the spot, th•
unfortunate woman expired of her wounds. Verdicts..."
" That the said SARAII PETTY killed the said infant, Jourr
PETTY, by cutting his throat, and afterwards destroyed
herself by the same means, being at the time of the corn'
mission of each of the said acts in a state of unsound
mind."—Hants Advertiser.
