LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—ScPT. 30.

this morning's market, and a moderately fair business was
transacted in Wheat, at an advance of 4d. to 6d. per 70Ib.

mand ; a few parcels of Irish New were sold from 3s. sd.
to 3s. Bd. per 451 b. Malt was ls. to 2s. per quarter
dearer. Beans were in fair request, and Is. to 2s. per

WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING.---The fol-
lowing particulars respecting the indisposition of his MA-
JESTY are communicated from a quarter which seems en-
titled to credit :—" It is quite true that he has had an
attack of gout which commenced in his hand and arm.—
At ono time the attack was rather alarming, as the in-
Elanunation was extending towards the upper part of the
body. It is now said, and I balieve truly, that his MA-
JESTY is getting rapidly better, and that his medical
attendants expect him to be quite able to resume his
drives in the course of the next week, if the weather
should prove favourable. The attack is attributed
to a cold, which was taken by his MAJESTY during the
wet weather, at Virginia Water. Rumours have been cir-
culated of his 11.1AsxsTv's seclusion having proceeded from
religious melancholy, but I cannot find that they were well
founded. The dismissal of his MAJESTY'S private band of
musicians for a fortnight, at a time when arrangements
were making for the performance of some new music which
had been received from the Continent, led some persons to
attach credit to this rumour. Tice dismissal, however, of
the band takes place sometimes when the KING is in per-
fect health ; and, therefore, the fact of their dismissal
now for a fortnight proves nothing."

We have the happiness to state from authority,
that the health of the KING is almost entirely restored.
His MAJESTY'S indisposition has been serious.—Brighton
Gazette.

We have heard, on what we consider good
authority, that among the various plans proposed for the
location of the King's College, one was to appropriate,
with the consent of his MAJESTY, the new Palace in St.
James's Park for that purpose.—Brighton Gazette.

The young Queen of PORTUGAL arrived at
Bath on Tuesday, where she will remain until Govern-
ment has decided as to what place of residence shall be
appropriated to her 3IAJEsTv. We understand that the
intention which was at first entertained of fitting up apart-
ments for the QUEEN in Hampton Palace, has been ahau-
doned. As it is said to be the wish of the Marquis of
PALMELLA that as much privacy as is consistent with the
rank of this Illustrious Visitor shall be observed, it is pro-
bable that Ministers will make arrangements for the resi-
dence of the QUEEN at a short distance from London ;
but according to our Bath correspondent, up to yesterday,
nothing positive had, reached the Marquis of PAr.mat.t.a,
or the Brazilian Minister, on the subject.

We are also enabled to state that the Duke
of CLA RENCE is materially better; but his Royal Highness
remains still in a very weak and exhausted state.--Brigh-
ton Gazette.

DIED—At Alloa, on the 20th ult., the Right
Hon. Jour; THOMAS EastaNa, Earl of Mar. His Lord-
ship is succeeded in his titles and estates by his only son,
Lord ERSKINE, now Earl of MAR.

We have great pleasure in being enabled to
announce that the Right Hon. the Countee of OamoNnE
is on her return from Cheltenham, in renovated health ;
and that her Ladyship means to pass the remainder of the
season at her delightful and magnificent mansion at Castle-
comer.—Leinster Journal.

Yesterday afternoon, about half-past two
o'clock, during a heavy squall from the W.S. W. a laden
brig, apparently with black sides, standing to the south-
ward, under a press of sail, suddenly sunk about a mile and
a quarter from Aldboro' ; it is feared the crew have perished.
Her top-masts are above high water mark, but nothing
has yet been got fron► her to ascertain her name.—Hull
Packet of Tuesday.

LIBERAL CLUBS.—We are happy to per-
ceive that those institutions, from which we augur so
much advantage to this country, are rapidly spreading
amongst us. There are now Branch Liberal Clubs in
Bandon, Macroom, and Youghal. Yesterday a Club was
established in Fermoy, and another in Clonakilty. The
members of the Central Club are increasing hourly. Not
fewer than fifty names were added to the list on Saturday.
Cork Mercantile Chronicle.

Since last Tuesday the project of obtaining
spring water by boring in this town has assumed a more
promising and favourable aspect. The stratum has
changed into a chalky substance, mixed with sandy par-
ticles. The total depth now obtained is 584 feet.—Boston
Gazette.

The Commodore on the Cape of Good Hope
station has written to be superseded. The appointment
was first offered to Captain S. PYM, who declined it. It
is, however, giving to Captain C. M. SCHOMBERG, who
will relieve Commodore W. SKIPSEY in the command, and
goes out in the Rose. The Ranger is ordered for the
West India station, and commissioned by Captain Wm.
WALPOLE.-Morning Paper.

The following specimen of Stock Exchange
wit has been stuck up in the house, for the amusement of
the Members:—

TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE OF LLOYD'S.

Sta—l am desired by the Earl of ABERDEEN to inform
you and all whom it may concern, that the Government
of this country having received notice of the determination
that Don Mrau Er. intends to blockade the port of Falmouth,
and having learnt that a frigate, having the Portuguese
national flag flying at her stern, has appeared off Falmouth
and landed several suspicious characters, the Earl of ABER-
DEEN deems it right, by and with the advice of the
Council, to declare the Blockade of Falmouth and all
Ports west of Billingsgate full and effective.
SHIPWRECK.—At ten A.M. on the 25th
current, the sloop Perseverance, of 15 tons, from St. David's
to Dundee, with coals, was upset in a squall about one mile
off the harbour of Crail. This small vessel was actually
navigated by one man, the only individual on board, and as
he could not leave the helm to shorten sail he thus lost his
life.—Edinburgh Observer.
We understand that Mr. HARLEY is re-en-
gaged at Drury Lane for three years, at a salary a 251.
per week. Overtures were made to him by Covent Gar-
den, on which Mr. PRICE gave Mr. HARLEY a carte
blanche, desiring him to fill it up with whatever sum he
thought himself entitled to ; and Mr. HARLEY accordingly
wrote down the above sum. His former salary was 151.
per week.—Brighton Gazette.
