WnlljsDß SEPT. 5.---Nesterday the KING,
accompanied by Lord ST. HELEN'S, left the Royal Lodge
in his pony phaeton, followed by the Bon. Mr. and Mrs.
A. SrANHorx, Earl of Firs, Sir WILLIAM Murat, Sir
EDSIUND NAGLE, Sir ANDLEW BARNARD, and Colonel
THORNTON, in two single phaetons and an open carriage,
and proceeded through the new plantation, Chapel Wood,
and the Royal Nursery, to Virginia Water, in the vicinity
of which the Royal party enjoyed several of the most rural
drives; and returned to the. Royal Lodge at half past six
o'clock; and at half past seven, his MAJESTY honoured
his visitors and attendants with his company to dinner.
This day, Lord ST. finales and the Hon. Mr. and Mrs.
STANHOPE took leave of his MAJESTY, and left the Royal
Lodge for their residences in town. This day his MA-
JESTY is expected at the Castle, in order to inspect the
progress made in his suite of apartments since his last visit.
It is said that his MAJESTY is anxious for the completion of
his apartments, but it is much doubted that they will be
ready for his reception this year.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the
Foreign Office, Downing-street, at which the two new
Ministers, the Right Hon. JOHN BERRIES, and the Right
Hon. CHARLES GRANT, attended, and took their seats for
the first time ; the former as Chancellor of the Exchequer,
and the latter as President of the Board of Trade. The
other Ministers present .were thus Loan CrtANcELLoa,
Viscount GouEriacti, Viscount DUDLEY, Mr. MUSEISSON,
Mr. WYNN, and Lord BEXLEY. The Ministers assembled
soon after twelve o'clock, and continued is deliberation for
upwards of two hours. The Loan CHANCELLOR came
from his seat at Wimbledon, and Lord BEXLEY, from his
seat at Foot's Cray, Kent, to attend the Cabinet.

The Marquis de PALMELLA, the Portuguese
Ambassador, and the Count de VILLA REAL, who is here
on a special mission from the Portuguese Court, had d
conference for some hours with Viscount DUDLEY yester-
day afternoon, at the office of Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs.

Those official Gentlemen holding situations
attached to the office of First Lord of the Treasury, attended
yesterday on Viscount GODERICIT, for the first time since
his Lordship's appointment. Those holding similar situa-
tions under the Chancellor of the Exchequer, attended on
Mr. HERRIES yesterday.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The farce of
Peter Smink was represented last night, when Mrs. Way-
lett, in the character of Ninette, introduced two new songs,
" The Swiss Youth," and " I'd be a Butterfly," both
which were received with applause.
ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.---The part of
Überto, in the Freebooters, was sustained for the first time
last night, by Mr. Thorne, in consequence of the absence
of Mr. Phillips at the Leicester music meeting. It was an
able and popular representation.

- -
MusicALs.—A numerous party of fashion-
shies assembled yesterday at Messrs. Flight and Robson's
Rooms, in St. Martin's-lane, to witness a performance of
music for the first time on a splendid organ, built by
Messrs. F. and R. for St. George's Church, Dublin.. The
organ is built on the largest scale possible, and is richly
mounted with external ornaments, from novel designs, by
the Architect to the Corporation of the City of Dublin.
Hares have not, for several years past, been so
plentiful as they are at present.—Bufh Chronicle.
The alterations at the Sessions-house, Clerken-
well, are nearly completed, and which are intended to faci-
litate the ends of justice, by removing all criminal cases
under forty shillings, which have heretofore been tried at
the Old Bailey, to the New Court, Cletkenwell, which has
been fitted up with every possible accommodation for the
purpose. These Sessions will commence on the 10th
instant, and will doubtless afford efficient relief to the very
heavy business that has caused so many protracted cases at
the Old Bailey, and be the means of obtaining snore sum-
mary justice by all parties.
An inhabitant of Ely, famed for his preserves
of fish, has in his possession a pike, weighing between two
and three pounds, which, if a small fish is suspended by a
string over his head, will dart out of the water half a yard
high, and carry off the bait. The cause of this singular
habit is supposed to be a defect in the organ of sight, which
disables the fish fsbm seeing anything on a level, or even in'
an oblique direction ; as his eyes project much more than
others of his species, like those of a hare. He is so tame
that lie will follow the waving of a handkerchief to any part.
of the pond.—Bury Post.
On Tuesday last the coachman of Mrs. Ar-
_
rowsraith, at Totteridge-park, Herts, was killed by a fall
from his horse; he was riding at a gentle trot down the
village of Totteridge, when the horse fell, and he pitched
upon his. head. Some women went to his assistance, and
washed the blood from his head. A gentleman then came
up and took him in his gig to his home, a distance of nearly
three-quarters of a mile. lie complained of great pain in
his head ; when he attempted to get out of the gig at the
house, there was a very evident change in him, and before
he could be get to his room, he became speechless and per-
fectly insensible, and died in less than half an hour. It is
remarkable that when he was being conveyed home in the
gig, he talked nearly all the way, and described the nature
of the accident, and there was nothing particular to excite
any considerable alarm.
Lately, as the driver of a chaise was pro.
ceeding with it to receive a company intending to go by
the steam-packet, he was observed to fall back in his seat
on the dickey, from which he was instantly precipitated
on the ground. Two men who saw him fall imme-
diately ran to his assistance, but -he was taken up a corpse,
opinion of the medical gentlemen who
phraoyminpgilvith
' attendedte him, been carried off in a fit of apo-
plexy. His name was Alexander Chalmers, and ho had
been nearly thirty years in the service of Mr. Campbell,
by whom, and his other employers, lie was much re-
spected. Ile was a married man, and leaves a wife and
family to lament his loss.—Aberdeen Chronicle.
PRECIPITATE INTERMENT.---Ili the course
of a discussion on this subject, at a late tm.eting of the
Academic Royale de Medicine, Deegenettes mentioned that
his relative M. Thouret, who superintended the destruction
of the Cemetery of the Innocents, observed a number of
skeletons in such postures as to indicate that the persons
to whom they belonged must have made exertions after
they had been. buried. The attention of the Academic
seems to have been a good deal engrossed with a subject
hardly ever dreamt of in this country, except by sonic
person who dies a martyr to silly apprehensions. A dis-
cussion has been raised on the most conclusive signs of
death—such as the rigidity pointed out by Nysten—the
state of the eye recorded by Louis, putrefaction, &c. In
the resuscitation of persons erroneously supposed to be dead,
aeu-puucturation of the heart was spoken of ! M. Segalas
stated that lie had not only roused this organ to contrac-
tion in animals recently dead, by such a practice, but
that he had exercised it with impunity on living ones.---
