favourable symptoms cf- the malady, his MAJESTY,
without variation, has been hourly recovering, down
to the present moment. The answer to inquiries at
the Palace this morning was—" His MAJWiT7 has
had a good night, and continues better." At a late hour
this evening, the report made was quite as favourable.

were out scouting a wool The morning was hazy,
and the Duke of IVELLINGTON was so intent on his
game that he lost sight of the party, and, in firing
his double-barrelled gpn, his Grate, unfortunately,
lodged a part of the contents in the face of his Noble
Host; seven swan-shot entered the cheeks, and one
the nose. His Grace, hearing an exclamation of " I
am shot," threw down his piece and hurried to the
spot, whet e he found his friend leaning against a tree,
the face streaming with blood. One of the party
galloped off to Ipswich Tor medical aid, whilst the
others carried the wounded Nobleman to the Lodge.

the shot, and pronounced the Noble Patient to be not

The baseness of these attacks is execrated by all
but the very lowest and most worthless of the
Orangemen, and yet it is said that some persons have
unblushingly avowed themselves the authors, printers,
and publishers of these abominable trash. There is

shocking outrages against public feeling and private
