THE KlNG.—(Brighton, Feb. 9.)—The gra-
tifying answer to all inquiries at the Pavilion to-
day, as well as yesterday, on the important sub-
ject of. the KING'S health, has been—" His
MAJESTY is much baler."

Extract of a Letter from our Correspondent, dated Newcastle-
upon-Tyne Feb. 8.
. "So heavy a storm, accompanied with so much snow as what
we are now experiencing, is not within the memory of any
person living. .All the roads are so blocked up that there is
hardly any attendance at market to-clay.. What market there
is of supplies skews an advance of full twopence per pound for
beef and veal; say an increase of :40 per cent. on lust week's
value. We ought to be thankful, however, that our wants can
be ministered to even at such an enhandenient, as the weather,
in a word 'has been tremendous for the last two or three days.
In point of fact, there was no Corn` Market for country grain.
The. London mail due yesterday morning at six, arrived here
this morning at half-past ten o'clock on horseback. The mail due
to-clay is still wanting, (2 o'clock, p.m.) Between 8 and 9 this
me:limit:the Post-masters expedited the trail to the North.—
There were five men well mounted on horseback; but when
they reached the lodge of Colonel Brandling's, Oosforth, (dis-
tant from hence about five miles), the quantity of drift snow
rendered the road absolutely impervious. The consequence
was, that the guard and assistants returned to Newcastle. Five
mails are due from Scotland, a circumstance altogether unpre-
cdented, and four are due from Carlisle.—The writer of this
haVing perused a great mass of Foreign Journals, received
within these 24. hours, is enabled to state that the European
Continent seems to have suffered, and to be ataffering, one of
the most rigorous winters. So intense was the cold at Ham-
burgh and at Hanover that the Theatre was closed. At Berlin
the severity of the weather had afflicted almoat every one with
dangerous catarrhal affections, and, in some instances, with in-
timation of the lungs. Amongst others, the Minister, M.
Yen Voss, was extremely indisposed. At Amster4r, on the
26th ult., the frost was so severe that it is presumed about a
degree more would have congealed the *mercury in the thertnn-
meter ! Although the Sound is not frozen over, both the Belt
form a mass of solid ice. The accounts from Sweden and
, Russia are similar."

The rumours from Ireland of tt►e dissatisfac-
tion which prevails there are daily increasing.
The brilliancy of " The Dublin Winter," which
used to animate and delight the inhabitants of
the Sister Metropolis, has vanished, and the hos-
pitalities and festivities, which formerly distin-
guished the Higher Circle in that country, are
no longer seen or enjoyed. The thin veil which
covers " the pi•esent course " cannot much longer
withstand the piercing eye of. moral and politi-
cal inquiry—and the period is rapidly ap-
proaching, wln4l the delusion ►high has recently
prevailed in that unhappy country will cease to
exist, and the public disappointment will be ac-
knowledged by all parties.
An extensive speculation is about to be en-
tered on by two individuals well known in the
metropolis, to the extent of one hundred thousand
pounds, in establishing Steam Packets between
England and the Colonies, and also to several of
the principal Ports in the Mediterranean. The
success which has already attended their specu-
lation in a celebrated Steam Packet to the Con-
tinent has, it is said, induced them to venture on
the one now contemplated
An opinion is prevalent among the mercantile
interest, that an intimation will shortly be given
of an armistice between Spain and her American
Colonies, on the basis of allowing the latter their
own laws and institutions, but with very favour-
able commercial arrangements for Spain,in which
England is to participate.—(Maning Paper.)
Yesterday morning Mr. YATES, the King's
Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office, Down-
ing-street, with dispatches from Madrid.—
This gentleman is the. British Messenger al-
luded to by the Count Dr. LA GARDE, the
French Ambassador, on his leaving Madrid,
in the statement which has been published of
his Excelleticy's departure from Madrid.
Mr. DYKES the King's Messenger arrived in
town on Sunday night from Brussela, Stc.
During the late very severe weather, Prince
LEOPOLD supplied the poor and the labouring
classes of Esher and the neighbourhood of Clare-
mont with coals; also, on the 6th of November,
501. was distributed in the purchase of female
clothing for the poor of the same neighbourhood,
being the anniversary of the day of memorable
grief on which the Princess CHARLOTTE expired.
THE LATE DUEL.-,---We regret to state that
Mr. FAULKLANDIS case, briefly mentioned in the
newspapers, turns out to be too true. The duel
between him and Mr. L. 11. took place, not on
Ascot Heath race course, as stated by mistake,
but on Bull Marsh Heath, Berkshire, and the
effect of the wound, as was anticipated, proved
fatal.

We are sorry to perceive that the announce-
ment of Miss MtTroun's Tragedy has been with-
drawn from the Bills of Covent Garden Theatre,
and still more sorry to find that this 11118 been
occasioned by one of those disputes between
Managers aq Performers, which are but too
frequent in alrtheatrical establishments.—(Morn-
ing Chronicle.)

Previously to Mr. Yourio's leaving Drury-lane
for Bath, it was understood that he was study•
ing the character of Sir Periinar Maeslico-
phent ; and from his intimate acquaintance
with the Scotch manners, warm expectations
of his success were indulged in. Since COOK
we have had no Sir Pertinas ; all attempts have
proved abortive—and whether YOUNG be des.
tined to restore the character to the Stage, or
share the fate of his predecessors, is question of
considerable interest. With his usual good judg-
ment he chose theßathTheatre for the first attempt,
where on Saturday night, if„ the critics be correct,
he triumphed over all difficulties, and concluded
an admirable representation of the character
amidst the loudest applause from it crowded
audience.--(New 'Times.)
