DANGEROUS SITUATION OF THE DUKE OF WEL-
LINGTON.—His Grace the Duke of Wellington, within
afw dayse Majesty's arrival at Weimer Castle,
in the early part of last month, was placed in a most
dangerous and alarming situation, from which he was of herprovidentiallyr escued by the speedy arrival of his
medical attendants. His Grace was dining from off a
partridge, when, by a most unfortunate mischance, one
of the small bones of the wing stuck in his throat. The
Duke, with his usual coolness, being well aware of his
perilous situation, signified to those in attendance
that his medical advisers at Deal should be instantly
sent for ; and in a very short time afterwards Dr.
M'Arthur and Mr. W. Hulke, surgeon, had arrived
at the castle. An attempt wag* first made to extract
the bone by means of forceps, but it was too deeply
seated for this instrument to reach it, although every
means were tried which skill or
ingenuity could sug-
gest to the two medical practitioners thus to relieve
the illustrious sufferer. At last, it being then deemed
robang, asia
theini bone was most skilfully

(and what might have proved, but for the skill of his
medical attendants, most lamentable) occurrence.—
