COURT INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR, EIGHT O'CLOCK, FRIDAY EVENING.--
Up to this time the King continues somewhat better than
be was in the morning. There do not appear to be such
strong symptoms of immediate dissolution as there were
a day or two since. His Majesty passed a more
favourable night on Thursday night, than he has
done for some weeks past. Sir Henry Halford left the
Palace last evening,. about six o'clock, for London, and
was not expected to return till this morning. This is the
first time that Sir Henry has been absent from the Pa-
lace for a fortnight. Sir Matthew Tierney remained in
attendance at the Palace dining the day.—At the King's
Palace, St. James's, the bulletin was show► to the No-
bility and Gentry by Lord Clinton (Lord) and Sir Wil-
liam Houston (Groom) in waiting.

Count Mestuchewits, the new Russian minister, had
an interview yesterday with the Earl of Aberdeen at the
Foreign Office. The noble Earl afterwards visited the
Duke of Wellington at the Treasury.
A deputation from the West India Merchants and
Planters, headed by the Marquis of Chandos, had a con-
ference with Mr. Herries on Thursday, at the Office of
the Board of Trade.

A deputation of Iron Founders, from Bilston and other
parts of Staffordshire, headed by Mr. Littleton, one of the
Members for the County, Lad an interview at the Board
of Trade, on Thursday, with Mr. Herries.
Yesterday being the first day of Trinity Term, the
Judges partook of a dejeuncr with the Lord Chancellor,
at his residence in George-street, Hanover-square, and at
one o'clock they proceeded in procession to Westminster-
Hall, and entered their respective Courts. The cortege
consisted of twenty-six carriages, escorted by the beadles
of the parishes they passed through.
In the management of tho Royal sufferer, the attend-
ants experience considerable difficulty in inducing bini to
take proper medicines, food, and drink. The King does
not consider that his case is hopeless. From private in-
formation, however, we can only say, that although in
our opinion ultimate recovery is impossible, immediate
dissolution is not inevitable. The medicines which have
been administered for sonic time past, have consisted
chiefly of (ether, and the sedative tincture of opium
--
Lancet.

The King has rallied in a manner which has surprised
all his attendants. There must be considerable force of
mind, as well as of constitution, to bear up so stoutly
under the oppression of so afflicting and exhausting a
disease. One thing is pretty generally known—that the
physicians have been greatly at fault in their calcula-
tions. They misunderstand his Majesty's complaint, and
have more than once been considerably mistaken in their
prognostications.
It is said that on a recent visit of the Duke of Wel-
lington, to inspect the state of the new Palace at Pim-
lico, his Grace was heard to declare that, " money or no
money, it should be finished," and that additional hands
have since been set on.

It is a matter of some surprise that Sir James Scarlett
appears neither to have delivered his opinion nor voted on
the Forgery Bill.
The name of E. Davenport was omitted in the list of
pairs in favour of Sir J. Mackintosh's Amendment of the
Forgery Laws.
We understand that a very active opposition is getting
up against the return of Colonel Gordon, of Cluny, at the
next election for Weymouth, and it is said that Major
Weyland is the favourite candidate. This gentleman is
married to Lady Johnstone, whose son, Sir Frederick
Johnstone, is patron of the borough.
The property of the late Sir C. Hawkins, Bart. in St.
Ives, and which secures the purchaser a seat in Parlia-
ment for that borough, was sold for the sum of 57,2001.
The real purchaser is the Marquis of Cleveland. His
Lordship is said to be favourably disposed towards Mr.
Heise, one of the present Members.
J. Awdry, Esq. the barrister, is to succeed the late Sir
Wm. Seymour, as a Judge, at Bombay. The appoint-
ment was notified to the learned gentleman, with an in-
timation
that the honour of Knighthood will be conferred
upon him on the occasion. The salary is 7,0001. per
annum, with a retiring pension (after a certain number
of years) of 1,2001. per annum.
The late Sir Robert Peel was the third, but eldest
surviving son of Robert Peel, a wealthy merchant at
Ardwick, in Lancashire, who died in 1795, and one of
seven brothers. His four younger brothers were all
engaged in trade; the youngest, Joseph, was settled in
London, and died about ten years since.
The salary of the Secretary at War is 2,480/. a year ;
that of the Chief Secretary for Ireland 4,1531 So that,
in point of emolument, it is better by 1,673/. to be a
a " share-beggar," than Secretary at War.—Morning
Register.
His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland pro-
ceeds to Belfast in the royal yacht, which has been
ordered to be in readiness for sea. The inhabitants of
Belfast should not lose the opportunity, thus afforded, of
addressing the Lord Lieutenant, and of calling upon his
Excellency to interpose between the Irish people and the
British Government, in order to prevent the infliction of
additional burthens upon their wretched and impoverished
country.—Mid.
Lord Charles Townshend has purchased Mr. W. E.
West's picture of " The Pride of the Village," which is
in the Exhibition of the Royal Academy. Mr. West
has on the easel another beautiful incident from the tale
of " Annette De L'Arbre," a fiction also, it will be re-
membered, of his highly-talented countryman Mr. Wash-
ington Irving.
A punster, on reading in the Gardener's Magazine
that a new pea had just been introduced into this country
from China, observed, that the opening of a trade in P's
with the Chinese was very opportune during the present
embargo upon their T's.
EDUCATION IN Ganzcz.—There are already esta-
blished in the Morea, and the islands of the Archipelago,
111 schools, in which 7,824 pupils are receiving instruc-
tion.—Athenceum.

A FACT.-At a late confirmation, which took place
in a parish not 100 miles from Chertsey, in Surrey, the
clergyman, examining a simple country girl, asked her
if she knew " who was the oldest man ?" She promptly
replied, " If you please, Sir, they say old Master Goring,
the tailor, is." " You are a very weak girl," said the
reverend gentleman. " I am, indeed, Sir," was the re-
ply, " because I have taken a great deal of doctor's stuff
lately, and it has made me very weak."
ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER.—A coun-
tryman, on Saturday last, sold half a dozen of pigeons, at
4d. each, to an innkeeper of this city, who, on the mar-
ket day, provides an ordinary at Is. 6d. per head. Act.
ing on the reciprocity system, the countryman paid his
eighteen-pence, and took his place at the ordinary,
where his half dozen birds were inclosed in a spacious
circumference of pastry. He dispatched a segment of
the circle, containing three of the pigeons, did full justice
to a fine loin of veal, with sundry slices of ham, and
other et cetera:, the whole of which he washed down
with two quarts of ale ! It need not be made a question
in our mathematical department how much Boniface
gained by his guest.— York Courant.
