ASSAULT.

k George Draper was indicted for assaulting John
ki Wows, the driver of a stage-coach, in a most
4 ,°lll manlier. He pleaded guilty to the charge,
ifaid that he was so drunk at the time that he
bad no recollection of what then 'took place.
lThe prosecutor was called for the- purpose of
iseribing the nature of the assault, and from
0; evidence it appeared that the prisoner was
14,:vin a cart up Fish-street-hill, and the prose-
,itor was driving-his coach down, when, by the con-
b,_ilnee of the prisoner, the coach and horses of the
,rsecutor were placed in considerable danger. *The
shuck
remonstrated ; upon which the prisoner
%4e uck him a severe blow On the cheek. The pro-
eft' then got down to take the number of the
thN.t •

a '
same exclaiming. " -, there is my
i,_(!rriber, number five.'' The prosecutor was severely
„'Jured by the violence of the prisoner, who was ap-
'4ended after a great deal of difficulty.
4 The prisoner said that he had spent some years
hia Majesty's setvice, and had received several
(111"de in the head ; and when he drank any thing
e) Was half mad, and knew nothing of what he was
ti cult• He had no recollection of the assault any
',lore than if it had never happened.
The Court sentenced him to three months' ire-
gjicoranent and hard labour in the Borough

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

FROM LLOYD'S.

jesty's ship Herald sailed this afternoon for the
westward.

FALMOUTH, OCT. 30.,--=,\Vind E.--Sailed the

THE KING'S HEALTH. •

ETON, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.--There are few
things which excite more public anxiety than the
health of the Sovereign, especially when it is sup-
posed to be in a precarious state; and there is no-
thing .more studiously kept. froin tire knOwledge of
the public by Court policy. Upon the wisdom of
that policy I hive not time now to moralize; and
therefore I shall merely state what has accidentally
come to my knowledge respecting the present state
of the King's health.
His Majesty has latterly been afflicted with symp-
toms of dropsy—at least, I have no doubt of the
fact; hut, whatever may be the nature of his ma-
lady, it is certain that he has been. so seriously in-
disposed as •to require the constant attendance of
Sir Henry Halford, Sir Matthew Tierney, and Mr.
Riley, the eminent surgeon of Windsor. Sir Henry
!Telford was sent for express from Leicestershire
some weeks ago ; and one or other of these gentle,
men—sometimes all three of them--have sat tip
all night in the ante-room of the royal chamber.
On Wednesday last his Majesty was better, and
rode out • but since thou he has been. confined to
his chamber;i but yesterday he was again better,
and came down to dinner. I believe he lihs had no
relapse since ; but of this I cannot speak with any
degree of certainty. All I can say is, that I will
write again as soon as I can learn any thing worth
communicating.

DUBLIN, MONDAY, OCT. 20.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

It was amusing, to us at least here, to read in the
London Courier of Saturday,, in announcing the
arrest of Mr. Lawless, that " a crisis bad arrived:"
We'find every thing proceeding just as if no such
circumstance had occurred—no crisis has arrived—
some discussion has been elicited, but no alarms.

It is generally believed that Mr. LaWless's
threat on 'Thurs4y, to return to the north, in-
duced the Government to act upon depositions
against him by some persons at Ballibay; and
that, had it not been for that, he would not have
been arrested. Others think that it is but a prelude
to similar demonstrations of Vigour against Orange
mobs and processions. The-Association are deter-
mined to try the impartiality of the Government,
and have sent an agent to Ballibay, to collect depo-
sitions against Lord Blaney, who on Sunday headed
a tumultuous and dangerous mob of Orangemen at
Clones, and they will press for the arrest and trial
of the Noble Lord, upon accusations precisely simi-
lar to those upon which Mr. Lawless has been ar-
rested. This is not generally known here yet, but
it will become public in a day or two,- and the result
will be a matter of great interest and importance.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.
