TIIE KING.

BnrottTow, DEC. 21.—His MAJESTY and family attended
Divine Service in the Palace Chapel to-day. As last Sunday,
the Earl and Countess Cowper were included with his Ma.
jesty's suite in the Royal Closet. The Dean of Hereford was
eloquent and impressive in the pulpit, from the following text,
the sth verse of the 4th chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the
Phillipians :—" The Lord is at hand." The other officiating
Ministers were the Dean of Sarum, and the Sub-Dean of the
Royal Chapel, St. James's. The anthem, with the Organ and
Royal Band accompaniment, " Lord of all power and might,"
filled the sacred pile with strains seraphic, and which could but
influence the listening spirit to a character of devotion. His

Majesty, in excellent health, was piously attentive to the Her•
vice.—The Earl and Countess Cowper, and the Earl of Bet
borough, had the honour of dining with the King yesterday.

well by the good cheer that was afforded, as by the very
obliging and courteous attention which was strewn to the
numerous guests, both by the Mayoress of Newcastle, and the
worthy Chief Magistrate himself. The façade of the Man-
