THE KING'S HEALTH.

We have heard from a source upon which we are disposed to
place reliance, that His Majesty was so far recovered on Tuesday
last as to require that his tradesmen's bills should be brought before
him, for the purpose of being examined, as was customary previous
to His Majesty's illness. From the same source we are informed,
that a venerable nobleman, who resides within a short distance of
Windsor, having omitted to pay his customary visits to the Castle,
His Majesty inquired the reason, and having been informed that
illness was the cause of the noble Lord's non-attendance, His Ma-
jesty sent a special messenger to inquire after the health of the noble
Lord.—Morning Paper.

WINDSOR, Thursday Roguing.

The Duchess of °lactater and the Princess Augusta anived at the
Castle this day, at half-past twelve o'clock; the Duke of Clarence
came at one o'clock. Their Royal Highnesses had a long interview'
with his Majesty, and afterwards partook of an elegant dejeautc pre-
pared for the occasion. The Princesses left the Castle at three
o'clock, drawn as far as Hounslow, on their return to London, by
the King's hones, where they were met in the morning, and brought
to Windsor by his Majesty's horses. The Duke of Clarence left
the Castle at half-past three. His Majesty is still improving in
health, and continues to take more nourishment and a less quantity
of medicine. The physicians and the usual distinguished personages
remain in attendance on his Majesty.

The Duke of Cumberland came to town yesterday
from Kew. His Royal Highness dined with the Prin-
cess Augusta, at her residence in the King's Palace,
St. James's, on the return of the Princess from having
an interview with his Majesty at Windsor.
Prince Frederick of Prussia honoured the Marquis
and Marchioness of Londonderry with his company to
dinner yesterday evening, at their residence in Park-
lane. There was a select party to meet his Royal High-
ness.

Prince Leopold left town yesterday for his residence
at Claremont.

The Earl of Aberdeen and Sir George Murray had in-
terviews with the Duke of Wellington yesterday, at the
Treasury.
Lord Milton has postponed his resolutions relative to
the Corn Laws and Trade till Tuesday next.
It is stated that Sir Robert Peel intends immediately
making considerable improvements at Drayton Manor,
with the view to its becoming the family seat.
The House of Lords have examined witnesses on the
East Retford Bill during eighteen days ; of the evidence
taken during those 18 days, there have been printed 700
folio pages ; and it may be satisfactory to know that their
Lordships have now got through the evidence on one side
—namely, in support of the Bill : they have now to hear
the witnesses on the other side—namely, against the
Bill ! This Bill is likely to rival, in duration, Mr. Hast-
ings' trial, and not unlikely to bare a similar result—
i. e. failure.

GENERAL ELECTION.—Lord Brabazon, son to the
Earl of Meath, will offer himself as a candidate to repre-
sent the county of Dublin in Parliament at the next
election.

Indications of a coming election meet us on every side.
We refer to our Lewes and Chichester intelligence for
examples of the excitement in those places, but which
do not, however, in this respect stand alone. The retire-
ment of Mr. Poyntz will give a new aspect to the state
of parties at Chichester. At the moment of going to
press, a report has reached us that it is the intention of
Lord George Cavendish to start for the county.—Brighten
Gazette.

His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant did not sail for
Belfast as was expected; but as a mark of respect for
the people of that town, and the little fleet which left tho
harbour of Kingstown, to join in the amusements of the
Regatta, his Excellency ordered that the Royal Char-
lotte yacht should accompany the expedition.
In addition to what was stated last week, we under-
stand that upon the currency question the Tories will
cordially co-operate with Lord Grey, and that both par-
ties, as we then intimated, are firmly resolved to watch
with a wary eye the proceedings of the Government,
checking them wherever their measures may appear to
be wrong. The Tories will rally together, and form
what the Duke of Richmond on a late occasion termed
" a country party," acting as an organized body, ad-
hering together, and determined to hold the balance be-
tween all others. This result will, we are sure, be highly
satisfactory to the country ; and we are happy to know
th..t they will constitute a body sufficiently powerful in
numerical strength, as well as in the moral influence of po-
litical integrity and sound talents, effectively to maintain
the position of arbiters. On the Greek question, the
course which we pointed out last week is fully settled
and determined upon. One expression in our former ar-
ticle upon this subject has, we find, been misunderstood
in some quarters. We therefore think it right to ex-
plain, that in speaking of an amalgamation between the
Tories and Whigs, we did not mean to imply that any
express overture had been made from either side, as from
a corporate body.—Brighton Gazette.
Eprizo FOREST.—In consequence of a recent en-
closure made of a small but beautiful portion of this de-
lightful forest, and the injury which the freeholders,
copyholders, and commoners, have sustained from pre-
vious encroachments, they have determined upon legal
proceedings to assert their common rights, and preserve
the forest from being by degrees wholly withdrawn from
the public. A numerous meeting of the resident gentle-
men and commoners was recently held at the Eagle, at
Snaresbrook, at which a resident magistrate presided,
and resolutions were passed to assert their own and the
public rights. A liberal subscription was entered into,
and a committee of resident gentlemen appointed to fur-
ther these important objects. Considering the extent
of this great metropolis, and the importance of this ques-
tion to the health and enjoyment of its inhabitants, we
trust the committee will be successful in their efforts.—

The value of the estates upon this forest must be greatly
dependent upon the beauty of the scenery, the open-
ness of the adjacent country, and the respectability of the
surrounding neighbourhood. Let but enclosures become
frequent, and this noble forest will, like the lower part
of the beautiful heath at Hampstead, shortly be thickly
studded with petty erections, destroying alike the beauty,
health, and respectability of the neighbourhood. In-
stead of being, as the forest now is, a place quiet,
healthy, and retired, to those resident, and of health,
recreation, and en" t to the immense population of
the eastern part me!ropolie, it will soon become a
mere extension of that endless meal of brick" of
which London is composed... Daily Paper.
