occupied the Royal Duke nearly the whole of the day.
The Duke of Montrose, the Right Hon. Sir John
Nicholl, and a long list of - fashionables, called yester-
day at the residence of the Duke of Rutland, in Ar-
lington-street, to make their inquiries after the health
of His Royal Highness.
A suite of rooms are preparing at the King's Pa-
lace, St. James's, for the reception of His Majesty.
Despatches were received at the Foreign-oflice yes-
terday from the Earl of Clanwilliam, our Ambassador
at the Court of Berlin. _ _ _

Yesterday a Board of the Lords of the Treasury
was held at the Treasury Chambers, Whitehall.
Earl Bathurst arrived in town yesterday from his.
seat, near Cirencester, in Gloucestershire.

ROYAL ACADEMY.—On Monday morning, the
6th inst., a General Assembly of the Academicians
was held, at their apartments in Somerset House,
when Mr. Edwin Landseer, and Mr. John Peter
Gandy, were elected Associates of the Royal Academy
of Arts.

LAW APPOINTMENTS.—Mr. John Sealy Towns-
end, King's Counsel, who has been for many years
Assistant-Counsel to the Attorney-General for Ire..
land, has, it is said, been appointed Master in Chan-
cery, vacant by the death of the late Mr. Ball. A
more judicious selection could not have been made,
Mr. Townsend is considered as one of the soundest
and most able Lawyers at the Irish Bar. It is said
Mr.'frail Hall is to have the situation formerly held
by Mr. Townsend ; and that Mr. T. Driscoll,
is to be appointed to that which Mr. Hall vacates.—
Dublin Evening Mail. .

GRATITUDE.--The first prisoner confined in Hors-
ham gaol after its erection, was the person who con-
tracted for building it.
We have just heard that the honour of Knighthood
has been conferred on Captain Charles Malcolm, who
at present commands his Excellency the Lord Lieu-
tenant of Ireland's yacht. We formerly had occasion
to notice the remarkable, and, we believe, unexampled
circumstance, of there being three Knights in the same
family. Sir Charles is now the fourth. It is pleasant
to reflect, that this mark of their Sovereign's approba-
tion has been bestowed where there -are not only gal-
lant deeds to merit it, but also personal honour and
private worth to adorn it.—Dumfries Courier.—
NOTE, The father of this distinguished family of
Knights (including General Sir John Malcolm and
Admiral Malcolm) is, we believe, a farmer in Dum-
fries-shire, and his sons have made their way in the
world by their merit alone.--Editor of Me Morning
Chronicle.

Notwithstanding La Porte, the French actor's, clear
and distinct pronunciation of the English language, he
,very reluctantly entered into an engagement with the
Manager of Drury-lane. The recollection, however,
that T. P. Cooke had been so rapturously and libe-
rally received in Paris, overcame his scruples, and he
accepted Mr. Price's terms.
_ _

La. Porte, the comic French actor, is arrived in Lon-
don. He will make his first appearance at Drury-
lane Theatre in a few days, in Dryden's Amphitryon,
which is getting up with great splendour. Harley aliti
La Porte perform the two Sostas.

FINE WRITING.—Mr. Fulcher, bookseller of Wis-
hed), is in possession of a written copy of the Lord's
Prayer, the Creed, and Ten Commandments ; also the
name and residence of the writer, the month and date
of the year when written, all within the sire of half
crown ; and the Lord's Prayer within the compass of
a silver penny ; wrote by Mr. Kent, schoolmaster, of
Spalding, without the aid of glasses, and the clearness
with which the writing is executed does the artist great
credit.—Cambridge Chronicle.

Salt is fast finding its way into use among gar-
deners, as well as farmers. Mr. Thomas Hogg, au
eminent florist, at Paddington, invariably mixes soh in
his compost for hyacinths, and considers it essential to
the whole bulbous tribe.
The vintage in France has been this year most
abundant, and the grapes of the very finest quality,
and it is said that a period of nearly 50 years has
elapsed since they have had so great a crop, either in
quantity or quality, as the wine of 1826, will, it is
said, be long highly prized and eagerly sought after.—
The crop of apples has been also very great, and a gen-
tleman who lately travelled through Normandy, says
that the quantity of eider will be this year immense.
A Lady at Southampton one day meeting her So-
licitor, was thus accosted by him—" How do you do
to-day, Madam ?" To which she replied—" I really am
afraid to give you an answer, for fear you should make
me pay for it !" The same Solicitor, it is added, on
perceiving the Lady to be.exceedingly flushed, said to
his Clerk who was with him, " What aferifacias !"
—(a fiery jiwe she has.)

THE PIGS AND THE SILVER SPOGN.—The Earl
of P.— kept a number of swine at his seat in Wilt-
shire, and crossing the yard one day he was surprised
to see the pigs gathered round one trough, and mak-
ing a great noise. Curiosity prompted him to see
what was the cause, and on looking into the trough he
perceived a large silver spoon. Just at this crisis a
servant maid came out, and began to abuse the pigs
for crying so. " Well they may," said his Lordship,
" when they have got but one silver spoon among
them all."---This anecdote is generally related of
Foote.

CORRUPTION.—In my youth I thought of writing
a satire ou mankind, but now in my age I think I
should write an, apology for them. Several worthy
men, whom I know, fall into such unexpected situa-
tions, that to me, who know these situations, their
conduct is matter of compassion, and not of blame.
Sir Robert Walpole used to say, that it was fortunate
so few men could be prima ministers, as it was best
that few should thoroughly know the shocking wick»
edness of
mankind. I never heard him say, that all
men have their prices; and I believe no such expres.
'ion ever came from his mouth.—lf'alpole.

Last week a singular suicide was committed at
Spinkhill, near Chesterfield, by a lad only 14 years oi
age, who hung himself with the crupper of a saddle,
No cause whatever has been assigned for the rash act,

ROCK and QUICK-SAND.
O'Keefre, in his " Recollections,,, gives the fol-
lowing pleasant little anecdote :--
when 1 sent him these four li"v* of

but Mr. Harris cast it to Rock ; however,
