HIS MAJESTY'S LEVEE.

After the Levee the King held a Privy Council, which was
attenthid by the Lord President, Lord Privy Seal, First Lord
of the Treasury ; the Secretaries of State for the Hcme, Fo-
reign, and Colonial Departments; the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty, the President of the Board of Controul, and the
Secretary at War.
At the Council Plymouth was made a warehousing port for
East India goods.
A report of the Judicial Committee respecting a decree or
sentence of one of the Courts at Gibraltar was affirmed.
The Hon. William Bathurst was the Clerk of the Council
in Waiting.
The King gave audiences to the Marqnis of Lansdowne,
Viscount Melbourne, Viscount Palmerston, Lord J. Russell,
Sir J. Hobhouse, Sir Hussey Vivian, Lord Hill, and the Earl
of Albemarle.
The Marquis of Headfort and Sir William Houstoun were
the Lord and Groom in Waiting.

The Duke of Sussex is getting well rapidly—the
light is now gradually let into his apartment, and on Saturday
his Royal Highness had the satisfaction to find that he could
distinctly read, the sight of both his eyes being perfectly re-
stored. About the end of the month his Royal Highness
will be able to travel without inconvenience, if he thinks fit
to proceed to the country, for the benefit of a change of air.
Dr. Quain has resigned the Professorship of Ana-
tomy in the London University. Various causes are assigned
for this step. —Medical Gazette.
LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.—On a
recent visit to this Railway, we were much gratified at the
progress which has been made during the last month.
Should the same activity which now prevails be continued, the
line from London Bridge to Greenwich will no doubt be
completed in the next month. The bridge over the Ravens-
bourne is constructing.

SABBA TII-BREA KING.--We bring glad tidings to
the Sir Andrew Agnews:—Their faithful servants are every-
where diligently working out " The Better Observance of the
Sabbath," as expounded by their great teacher. These la-
bourers in the Sabbathical vineyard, which the great Saint
Andrew himself first planted, are composed principally of that
class of respectable men who hire one-horse gigs on Sundays,
and who, by the . agency of these machines of destruction,
knock down and trample upon multitudes of those sinners
who will wickedly persist in walking out on the Sabbath-
day. We congratulate these active-minded gentlemen on
the efficiency of their exertions. A few gigs, driven rapidly
through the suburbs by zealous votaries, will do more to pre-
vent the desecration of the Sabbath than any of Sir Andrew's
Acts, or even the Acts of the Apostles themselves could
accomplish.

The wheats, where the soil is light, and where the
ear was formed during the drought, is short in the head,
short in the straw, thin on the ground, and greatly under an
average crop. On the strong clay soils, cleaned ark.: sown in
the back end of last year, the wheats are pretty fair ; but even
there exceptions may be found which attest sufficiently the
effects of an " untoward" spring. The barleys, from what-
ever cause, are very unequal—in some places splendid, and in
others not even " pretty well ;" yet such as looked worst a
fortnight ago have come so wonderfully round, that the pro-
duce, bulking good and bad together, if properly got in in
autumn, will not be conspicuously under a fair average sup-
ply. Of the oats we can speak in the most flattering terms ;
east, west, south, and north, they are most luxuriant, and
wear uniformly the deep green hue which is the surest sign of
vigorous health.—Newcastle Journal.

Yesterday afternoon one of the Highland steamers
brought a cargo of .330 barrels of the best quality of new salt
herrings to the Broomielaw, part of this week's excellent
fishing in the Lochfine, which will bring down the price con-
siderably in our market, and will be a favourable relief from
the present extremely high price of all kinds of butcher meat.
The fish, as they approach the spawning time, are fast falling
off in quality, and are better fitted for the curers than for being
brought fresh to market. Abundance of fresh herrings are,
however, still hurried into all the towns and villages on the
west coast, as well as into this city, but the new salt—or rather
powdered—herrings are in general now preferred.—Glasgow
