Marshal BERESFORD was admitted on Sunday
to an audience of the Quien of PORTUGAL, when the
noble Lord had the honour of kissing her AlJEszy's
hand. What will Don Micurt, and the Court of Lisboa
say to this?

LONDON.
TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, ISM

The health of his MAJESTY, we are con-
cerned to say, is by no means in that flattering
state which all classes of his loving subjects would
wish. But we see no reason why there should
always be so much insidious mystery observed,
not to say barefaced falsehood resorted to, when-
ever his MAJESTY'S health is visited with any
of those unpleasant interruptions which arc the
common lot of mortality, and from which even
Royalty is not exempt. If his MAJESTY has
any trifling indisposition, where is the necessity
of denying the fact after it has been bandied
about and canvassed by the public as a matter of
serious concern ? Would it not be the wiser
way to tell the truth at once, and so. silence
the malignity of silly, or the solicitude of loyal,
subjects ? Again, if unhappily his MAJESTY'S
illness is in any degree alarming,- ought. not
his anxious people to be ►made acquainted with
a calamity in which they are most Aeply in-
terested ? Silence, or absolute denial in such

cases, only se►ves to convince men more strongly
of their forebodings, till at length what was at
first doubt, becomes realised into certainty, not
so much from a knowledge or the correctness
of the fact, as from a very natural propensity of
humanity to think the worst. We can readily
believe that there may be sundry reasons of State
for not telling all the truth, but we are entirely
at a loss to understand why it should be altoge-
ther denied, If a particular purpose be served,
or a delicate point :got over by 'coneealtnent, it
should at the same time be recollected that
something is lost by secresy, involving principles
of honour—official responsibility—and national
concern. Publicity is the guardian of Libe►ty
—the safeguard of our institutions. Concealment
implies fear, if not guilt. We would not expose
our condition to our foes, neither would we con-
ceal it from our friends. The propriety of that
cause is always doubtful which seeks refuge in
mystery. If his MAJESTY'S health be conva-
lescent, what could. give his people more joy than
the official announcement of such a cheering
event ?—and if it be otherwise, which GOD for-
bid ! still the fact, though melancholy, would set
conjecture at rest, and so far relieve the public
mind from being the prey of exaggerated reports.
`We are aware that this is a delicate subject ;
but public duty is always paramount to private
delicacy, if that can be- called private which affects
the nation at large. That his MAJESTY'S health
has been lately in a precarious state is, we regret,
unquestioned, and that the prospect of his speedy
convalescence is not so flattering as the public
had reason to expect, may be gathered from the
following paragraph from an Ultra Morning
Paper, whose policy would be rather to conceal
than aggravate the fact:— „

" We had much pleasure last week instating that
his Majesty had so far recovered from his late indis-
position as to be induced to undertake a short drive
in his adjoining shrubberies. We regret that this
premature exposure to the open air has, been fol-
lowed,: not so much by a. relapse of his disorder, as
by a severe and alarming spasmodic attack. This
happened on Thursday night last, although not a
whisper respecting it. has found •its way into the
newpapers. His Majesty, on the night to which we
allude, was so seriously indisposed, that his physi-
cians had to be sent for by express during the night.
In the morning he was relieved, and has been in a
favourable state ever since."

We have news from the Russian army before
Varna to the Ist of October, at which period,
if the accounts may be credited, they not only
continued the siege, but maintained their posi-
tion before Shumla. The Turks had sent
an army from Adrianople, and a division from
Shuinla to raise the siege of Varna, and
some sharp fighting took place in consequence—
rather to the disadvantage of the Russians, who
by their own confession lost several General and
other officers on the occasion. If the Russians
do not now take Varna at once they have little
chance of success, for the Turks will so harass
them from without and from within as to make
their position extremely critical. The bulletin

say that two mines are in such a state of prepara-
tion as to insure the destruction of the fort, when
sprung. But we must refer our readers to the
details, merely observing, that if the bulletins be
correct, the previous accounts from the German
Papers were false.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of, the 14th inst.
contains the following news respecting the war,
which, if true, is highly unfavourable to the
Russians. How can OMER VRIONE DACHA
be at Widdin and Varna at the same time ?
CZERNOWITZ, OCT. 1.

Commercial houses here affirm that they have
intelligence that the Grand Vizier has left Adrian-
ople, and is marching with part of the corps of Hus-
sein Paella towards Rudschuk, with the intention
of proceeding along the Danube to Silistria. It also
continues to be asserted that the Russians have left
their position before Shumla, and" on this occasion
abandoned part of their artillery, because most of
the horses of the train had perished for want of
forage.

KRAJOVA, SEPT. 21.

Accounts from Widdin of the 22d bring the dis-
agreeable intelligence that 12,000 fresh •troops had
arrived there under the command of Omer Vrione,
Pacha of Salonichi. It may be imagined what alarm
this news has caused here and in Little Wallachia.
BUCHAREST, SEPT. 24.

It is reported here that Hussein Bey, after the
late events before Silistria, had detached a corps of
12,000 men from Shumla, on the road to Rudschuk.
It is therefore to be feared that fresh incur-
sions, and even offensive operations, will begin in
Wallachia, and this causes great alarm. We know
nothing certain respecting Varna. The rear of the
Russian army is every where rendered unsafe by
marauding Spahis. It seems that there has been
such a mortality among the horses in the Russian
army that, in case of a general retreat, the artillery
and heavy baggage must be transported by sea. The
accounts received to-day from Krajova give reason
to fear that the movement upon. Rudschuk is made
in concert with that prepared in Widdin, and forms
part of the general plan of operations of the Turks.
These circumstances show how important the pos-
session of Varna must be for the Russians for con-
cluding this memorable campaign.

BUCHAREST, SEPT. 27.

According to accounts just received from Little
Wallachia, the Turks are again advancing from Wid-
din, by way of Kalefat. All the inhabitants are
again flying from the neighbourhood of Krajova, be-
cause the corps of General Geismar is considered
too weak to oppose them with success.

ALIIXANDRIA, AUG. 14.

The chief obstacle to the conclusion of the con-
vention betpirt Codrington was the
demend of 'the fortkelr Wir Egyptian troops should
retain as garrisons in the fortresses of the Morsa.
Their number was at length redUced to 1,200 men,.
bull% is feared that underAppretext of supplying
these troops with provisralk the Pacha will find
Means tasupply these places in such a manner that
they will be able to_liold out a blockade -however
long. The restoring IBC the Greek slaves was a
second difficulty, most of them being, already the
property of private persons, and many .having even
embraced Mahometanism. Hitherto only 180 men,
employed in public works, have been restored.

By the following, it would appear that there
has been a shock of earthquake felt in Italy :

TURIN, OCT. 11.

About two o'clock in the morning of the 10th we
had another shock of an earthquake, and a second
half au hour afterwards. • They did not do the least
damage, and were slighter than the shod( of the night
before. The motion was undulatory, and as it seemed
in a southern direction, we may suspect some vio-
lent convulsion of Vesuvius. The shock which
we had here in the night of the Bth (or morning of
the oth) was felt at Vercelli, Genoa, and other places:l

A Correspondent asked us, the other day,
upon what principle we were favourable to Ca-
tholic Emancipation ? We answer, upon the
plain principle of justice, if not expediency. Do
unto another as you would have him
do unto you. But, if this be not
enough—if our Correspondent would have
argument on the subject, we feel much
pleasure in referring him to the masterly
address of that patriotic and enlightened Noble-
man, Lord NUGENT, to his constituents re-
specting the Brunswick Clubs, as fraught with all
that honest men would consider sufficiently
convincing in correcting their prejudices upon a
question of national importance, if not national
safety. To his Lordship's admirable reasoning
we have nothing to add, but that it commands
our sincere respect as .it must deserve
the approbation of his liberal countrymen.—
Let our Correspondent peruse it, and should he
not be enlightened, we can only express our re-
gret more for his own sake than for the inefficacy
of arguments as cogent as they are persuasive.—
We trust his Lordship will •be on Penenden
Heath on Friday, and give his generous aid to
shame the bigotted fools assembled there.

Letters and Papers, three days later, have
been received this morning from Gibraltar, of the
2d inst. The fever still kept on the increase,
and was spreading to other parts of the town
which had been less subject to its ravages.

On the 30th of Sept. 18 died, and 98 eases were ad-
mitted ; 525 remained

On the Ist of Oct. 18 (lied, 95 admitted; 552 re-
mained ill.

And on the 2d of Oct. 14 died, 106 were suffering
under the disease, and 591 ill.

This is the report taken froin the Papers, but
private accounts state that the printed reports
were not to be depended upon, -ind the ravages
of the disorder were much increasing : the wind
was S.S.W. on the 2d of October, but had been
again to the eastward, and consequently un-
favourable. A letter mentions no hop►e was en-
tertained of any amelioration until the middle of
next month.

A ship of war and bomb vessel arrived off'
Tangier on the 27th, from England, to demand
satisfaction for the capture of two British mer-
chantmen, under the pretence of not having on
board Mediterranean passes.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

• CITY, .TrrELvn o'CLecic

The English Funds hire- been altogether devoid
of interest to-day; Consols opened at 85i for
money, and 85i 6 for account, and without any
business of the least importance have crept up to
86 for the lattei' period. The premium on Ex-
chequer Bills and India Bondi has been on the de-
cline, the former being 74 5, the latter 83 5.
No business can be reported to have been done
in the Foreign Funds of any consideration, and prices
are nearly nominal. Below are the quotations.
Shares remain in an equally dormant state.

TWO O'CLOCK.

The Commissioners paid 86 for Consols, the price
of which reached 86i buyers for Account, but
after remaining at that rate for some time, the
market has suddenly become worse, and the price
has receded to 8.511- buyers, without any particular
Cause being given, or any considerable sales.

THREE O'CLOCK.

Consols for Account, 85i 86.

The report is that six regiments are going to Ire-
land, but the chief cause is said to be owing to the
indisposition of his Majesty being unable to hold
a Council.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat this morn-
ing in Lincoln's-Inn Hall, for the first time since
August last.

BLANEMORE V. GLAMORGANSHIP.F: CANAL COMPANY.

Mr. KNIGHT was h.structed in this case to re-
quest his Lordship would allow him to read a letter
from the clerk of 'the Company, requesting time to
answer the affidavits upon which the injunction had
been granted, before the Court filially disposed of
the case. The application had been brought on at
a period when Mr. Blakemore well knew that the
persons who acted for the Company were engaged
at the Quarter Sessions with going through their
accounts, and at a time not regularly devoted to
business.

Mr. WAKEFIELD, on the part Of Mr. Blakemore,
objected altogether to the application.
His LORDSIIIP thought, if the parties could not
agree, the only course to be adopted would be to
make some special application.

IN THE MATTER OF MARSH, STRACY, AND CO. BANKRUPTS.

Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET, WILDE, and ADAMS,
attended in this petition, which was for a new trial.
Upon its being called on, Mr. Sergeant Wilde pro-
ceeded to' address the Court in favour of the new
trial. The case is an exceedingly heaVy one,- and
appears likely to occupy the Court for several days.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
Nothing of the slightest interest occurred in this
Court up to the time of our going to press.

COUNT OF KING'S BENCH.
LII4I;#IIAUGH V. DRSBOROUGH.

Tiob was an action o❑ a policy of life insurance
effected with the Agas Insurance Company by his
Serene Highness the late Duke of Saxe Gotha, on
the 16th of June, 184., for the-benefit of his pre-
decessor's creditors. •

The Attorney-General and Messrs. Brougham,
F. Pollock, and Broderick attended for the plaintiff,
and SirJ. Scarlett and Messrs. Gurney, Chitty, and
Graham were engaged for the defence.
Mr. BROUGHAM stated the case to the Jury. This
was an action he said to recover the sum of 3,2081.
on a policy of five years extent. The late Duke's
predecessor had contracted debts, to a large amount
with the Government country bank at Altenbourgh,
and- the late Duke, Frederick the Fourth, had, in or-
der to liquidate those debts, agreed to pay instal-
ments, and for that purpose effected an insurance for
five years with the Union Insurance Office, for
3,2081. He afterwards wished to extend that policy
to the amount of 12,0001., but the Union not being
in the. habit of insuring.to so large an amount had
recourse to the West of England and the Atlas
Offices, and a joint insurance was effected between
them arid the Duke. The latter died- in the first
year of insurance, at the age of 4.9 years, and- the
West of England and Union Offices had paid their
share of the policy. From some reasons however
which he could not account for, the Atlas refused
to pay their share of the insurance. Perhaps
their reasons might be, that upon the Duke's death
and dissection a mal-conformation was discovered in
his skull, which then appeared to have produced a
tumour of the brain. That fact had before his death
escaped the observance of both his own and the
Company's medical advisers, and he should produce
evidence which would prove most satisfactorily that
no symptom of -drowsiness had ever been exhibited
during his life. On the contrary, be had enjoyed
the- most perfect health, and was a particularly,
strong and robust man. His only defect was a hesi-
tation or impediment. in his speech, which was well
known to the office at the time the policy was
effected, and also well known by the physicians not to
have proceeded from any disease likely to shorten
life. He had always been partial to the enjoyment
of dinner parties, and from ten to twelve persons
dined with him every day. It the defence was that
he had fits, it would be proved that even during the
cessation of his speech in his last illness, he had
preserved the entire use of his mental faculties,-
and was neither affected with apoplexy or epilepsy.
He appeared very frequently in public, and every
one was acquainted with his state of health. . When
the weather did not permit of his riding or walking
out, he always exercised himself by walking up and
down his chamber. In the few -last years of his
life he was attended by Dr. Doris and Dr. Zeigler,
and their evidence, as taken before a commission,
would be read by the Jury.

The policy of insurance was then put in and read.
The interrogatories taken by Commissioners ap-
pointed for the purpose, were then read. They con-
tained the evidence of his Highness's valet de
chambre and the physicians. They agreed in stating
that, during his life, the Duke had enjoyed the most
perfect health, up to his death by catarrh, with the
exception of the impediment in his speech. They
recapitulated the state of his health during his
whole life, which could not have induced any one to
have believed that his brain was affected, although
he generally had an aversion to exercise, throughout
his life, which they attributed to his phlegmatic tem-
perament.

These interrogatories were being. read When our
reporter left, and, from their voluminous appearance
they seemed likely to occupy the attention of the
Court for several hours.

Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador ;
Count de MoLTKE, the Danish Minister; the Chevalier
de NEUMANN, Councillor of the Austrian Embassy, and
the Secretary to the same Embassy, were presented to the
young Queen of PORTUGAL yesterday by the Marquis tie
BAREACENA.

The Brazilian Minister presented a gentleman
receotlyanirefi from the Brazils, to her INIAJEszr.

The Marquis and Marchioness de PALMELLA
visited the young QUEEN yesterday. •

Divine Service was performed on Sunday be-
fore the Duchess of KENT, the Princess VICTORIA, and
