It does not yet appear by whose advice the
Queen was induced to take the step that she has
done. The only person whom public opinion.
marks out as likely to have c►►unselled it is Mr.
Alderman Wood ; and we know not what grounds
he may have had tor thinking the measure pru-
dent. Jr seems tolerably certain, that it was not
recommended by her Majesty's official advisers ;
and yet no one can doubt that they would have
suggested whatever, in their judgment, was likely
to conduce most to the honour of their Royal.
Mistress.

The KING going in STATE to PARLIAMENT:

Yesterday being the day fixed for his MAJESTY'S
going in State to the Home of Lords, to give the Royal As-
sent in his own person to various Bills prepared for his sanc-
tion, the requisite guard of honour was marched at 12 o'clock
into the court-yard at Carlton Palace. They were preceded
by the band belonging to the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards.
Detachments of Lite Guards repaired to the posts assigned
them; while Sir Robert Baker, the Chief Magistrate of Bow-
street, accompanied by Sayer and 'Powirierid, and a numerous
police train, were in attenditece. All being in readiness
to move, his Majesty entered his State Carriage at thir-
ty-five minutes past one o'clock, dressed in a Field Marshal's
nniform, wearing five of his Orders, and appearing in perfect
health. He was attended in the State Carriage by the
Duke of Montrose, as Master of the Horse, and Viscount
Lake, as the Lord in Waiting. His Majesty having, is
short time since, honoured the Commander of the Regi-
ment of Royal Horse Guards 'with a gold stick, the Duke
of IVellington, as Colonel, now appeared as gold Stick in
%Visiting, and attended the King in the Royal procession; as
did also the Lord Steward, the (;aptain of the l'eolzien of the
Guard, the Treasurer and Comptroller of the Hoosehold, Sir
Keppel, &c., and the Gentlemen Ushers in Waiting
rode in 4 Royal carriage's, 3 of them drawn by (.1 bays, and one
by six black horses. The State Carriage was preceded by
four Marshalmen,twelve Footmen, ten Yeomen of the Guard,
and two on each side of the carriage, and two Footmen
on each side of the carriage. The band of the Guard of Ho-
nour struck up " God save the King," on the King entering
his State Carriage, and continued playing till lie left the Pa-
lace-yard and entered Pall-mall. His Majesty was loudly
cheered as. he passed through the crowded streets, and the
windows of the houses were occupied principally by females,
elegantly dressed. His Majesty entered the House of Lords
exactly at five minutes betore two o'clock, which was,
.an-
nounced by a Royal Salute of small caution from the Lam-
beth shore. His Majesty came out of the House of Peers at
13minuits past two, and arrived at his Palace within two mi-
nutes of an hour from the time of his leaving it.

AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.-An awful melan-
choly event took place yesterday just before the
arrival of the state carriage in the front of the
entrance to the House of Peers, set apart for the
King. Mr. Clegg, the Engineer in the Artillery,
who has had the care and direction of the firing of
the small cadnon—On days. of rejoicing, in Sr.
James's Park, and those on the Lambeth shore,
went yesterday as • usual to •attend to the duty ;
he preceded •the Royal Procession a short
distance, carrying the large signal flag on his
shoulder to the man on the Lainbeth shore to
discharge the cannon, accompanied by an artil-
leryman, carrying a small white signal flog,*
with G. It. on it. One .of the King's foot-
men, previous to the coming up of the state car.
riage, was conversing with Mr. Clegg about the
state of the weather, and Mr. Clegg had observed,
that he thought the lain would keep off, when he
fell down and expired. The footman lifted his
head up in his lap, and rendered. every possible
assistance ; and one of the blacks belonging to
the military hand took off his turban and laid it
under his head. The deceased was carried to the
Star and Garter public-house, near The spot. Two
medical Gentlemen were speedily, procured, but to
no purpose ; they were of opinion, that lite hag
left hint at the instant he tell.

Yesterday the Mike of YORK, the Duchess of
GLOUCESTREI, alit! Prit►ccss AUGUSTA, visited this

KING.

Viscount CASTLEREAGH had an audience of his

TRY ANOTWER'S LUCK.—This advice was fol-

the Lottery °filets, fgr no sooner bad one person
returned a Share, than another said, " I'll try
