MONDAY, MAY 3.
THE KING.

" WINDSOR CASTLE, MAT 3, 1830.

" The KING has suffered much by a want of sleep;
nevertheless his MAJESTY'S symptoms are mitigated
this morning.
(Signed)

" HENRY HALFORD.
" MATTHEW J. TIERNEY."

No Sovereign ever sought the happiness of his sub-
jects more anxiously than our present good and gracious
KING. Hie has been, indeed, a truly parental solicitude
which may, we fear, have materially contributed to im-
pair his health. The sorrow excited by his MAJESTY'S
alarming state chews that his cares have not been be-
stowed upon an ungrateful people. In the prevalence of
this feeling the bulletins, signed by his medical atten-
dants, have been enquired after by every class of society
with all the eagerness of children enquiring after the
health of a near and dear relative 'upon a sick
bed. These official communications have been hi-

aerie made in the usual style of professional mystery,
little calculated to convey positive information of his
MAJESTY'S condition. The bulletin of yesterday,
given in another. Atoluson, is the first instance of a de-
pactere frpm this be. It is explicit enough, and
.erefortunately, it &Voids the imperfections of former
conamunicadilio di the same kind, its coati**, are of a
gleamy oai *. that meat augment our fears, ail. deepen

our sorrowo.—lt would seem that the public rand had
anticipated this unfavourable intelligence. At the
morning service, at six o'clock yesterday, st Saint
Swithin's Church, in the City, at which early hour
every pew was completely filled, the &dating
clergyman, the Reverend Mr. DILLON, introduced
the prayer for the sick in the following terms :—" The
prayers of this congregation are desired for the KINO."
On ascending the pulpit, and previously to the com-
mencement of the sermon, he again adverted to hisMAJLS-
T f'S illness, in a solemn and fervent address to the Az
MIGHTY, praying that ho might be graciously pleased to
restore him to health ; but if that prayer could not be
granted, and if such were not the Divine will. that he
might be prepared to exchange his earthly Crown for
one of eternal glory. This prayer, which was delivered
in the most feeling and impressive manner, powerfully
affected the congregation, and drew tears from many an
eye. It was, we believe, introduced by the Rev. Cler-
gyman of his own will, without the order of his supe-
rior, as we have not learned that the same form was ob-
served in other Churches. Had this expression of loyalty
and devotion—this mark of veneration and love—for the
Royal Person, been -universally adopted, it would have
proved grateful to the public feeling, with which it is so
completely in unison.

Those Parisian Editors, who have been so violently op-
posed to the elevation of Prince LEOPOLD, continue to
indulge in various conjoctures, and ill-natured com-
ments, relative to his future intentions—a subject on
which they must, we imagine, be totally ignorant. We
hope and trust that the negotiations alluded to by Lord
ABERDEEN en Friday night, may soon be terminated ;
and thus put an end to the anxiety so generally felt by
the friends of Greece. As to the important fact of the
PRI xc r. having accepted the Sovereignty—a measure
which must contribute so essentially to the future hap-
piness of that interesting country—it was completely
set at rest by the reply of the Noble Lord.

We have extracted a very able exposition of the Mate
of parties from the New Monthly Magazine. It will
be found in another page, and could not have appeared
at a more appropriate moment. We quite agree with
the writer that the nation—without its being generally
perceived—" is far in the heart of reform." The universal
feeling on this all-important subject is the natural and
inevitable result of the evils entailed on us by the errors
of the past, coupled with a rapidly-advancing civilisation,
which has at length brought conviction home to the
minds of the most superficial—that it is only by a correc-
tion of these errors, national freedom and prosperity can
ever be achieved. The anomalous circumstances under
which the WELLINGTON administration came into office,
are very happily depicted : had the grand measure of Ca-
tholic Emancipation been followed by a corresponding
disposition to encourage reform in other quarters, and
the adoption of a foreign policy more consonant with
the honour and interests of the country, we should freely
join in those expressions of approbation which have been
more than once put forth in the pages of the New
Monthly, with regard to the Noble Duke. The pe-
riod is not, perhaps, far distant, when the real
intentions of men, who have certainly hitherto dis-
appointed the hopes of the country, will be put to
the test. In the meantime, we not only most cor-
dially unite in the sentiments expressed towards the
" party formed by Lord ALTHORPE," but in the ap-
peal so properly made to the patriotism of its members.
Viewing the general state of the country, and total break-
ing up of the two great parties who have alternately held
the reins of power during the last century, such an occa-
sion for a new political combination never presented ft-
self. It is every where admitted, that the men compos-
ing the ALTHORPE, or " independent Party," as it is ge-
nerally styled, unite all those qualities which are calcu-
lated to inspire confidence. The eyes of the whole
country are accordingly fixed on them ; and, judging
from what they have already done, we venture to predict
its warmest hopes, with respect to the new party, will be
amply realized.

The recent Proclamation for the suppression of the
Society in Dublin denominated " The Friends of Ireland,"
which we lately noticed, has been variously commented
upon in the public press. Its opponents consider it the
destruction of a great safety-valve for the escape of harm-
less vapour, which, if confined, might prove dangerous.
ha advocates extol it as the extinction of the focus of
treason and sedition. We do not now propose to discuss
the merits or demerits, the policy or impolicy, of the
measure. We would only expose the folly of those of
our contemporaries, who, affecting to regard the present
political state of Ireland as one of perfection, and its
moral condition one of unalloyed prosperity, would de-
nounce every attempt at improvement, and deny the
necessity of the slightest change. Although the society
be suppressed, the wants of the country will not remain
without a tongue. These are not times when men will
be content to dig a hole in the earth and whisper their
grievances to the ground. A defeat of the kind recently
sustained, if defeat it can be called, is only " the receding
wave that breaks in surf upon the beach, while the
mighty tide rolls onward and gains upon the land."

" It is very true," says a distinguished writer in the
middle of the last century, " our natural wants are not
more numerous than formerly ; but the world is past its in-
fancy, and will be no longer contented with spoon-meat.
Time has added great improvements; but these very im-
provements have introduced a train of artificial necessi-
ties. A collective body of men make a gradual progress
in understanding like that of a single individual. When
I reflect on the vast increase of useful, as well as specu-
lative knowledge, the last 300 years have produced, I
imagine we are now arrived at that period which an-
swers to 15. I cannot think we are older, when
I recollect the many palpable follies which are
still almost universally persisted in : and, whenever
we come to man's estate, perhaps a thousand years

hence, several discoveries «ill then have been
made, and several truths made clear, of which we have
now no more idea than the antients had of the circulation
of the blood, or of the optics of Sir ISAAC NEWTON."—
Not more than three-fourths of a century have passed
away, and these anticipations of improvement in know-
ledge have been realised in the steam-engine, the power-
loom, and other important discoveries. The House of
Commons has not shared in the general improve-
ment. In talent and intelligence it is retrograde, or,
at most, stationary. How is this exception to be
accounted for ? and why is the growth of intellect so
stunted and backward in the very place where, above
all others, it might have been expected to prove
most rapid and flourishing?—The question suggests the
answer. Because the House of Commons, as now con-
stituted, is not a pure representation of the collective
wisdom of the nation, in which term is embraced the
virtue of the nation; for vice, even the most successful
in its career, is folly. While improvements have been
growing up on every side around it, various ingredients in
its composition, having a tendency to deterioration and
decay, have been left to exercise their destructive in-
fluence in the body of the House of Commons. Mr.
BunKE made some attempts at a cure, but they only
',hewed the extent and deadly nature of the disease. May
we hope that it is reserved for the present age to apply a
more effectual remedy !

The Courier of Saturday announces, officially, that
" a clause is to be introduced into the bill now before
Parliament for the sale of beer to the effect that the li-
eenses to retail beer to be granted under the act shall not
authorise the persons receiving them to sell beer to be
consumed on their premises, or to keep rooms for the en-
tertainment of company."--The promises made to the
public that the beer trade would be thrown open, it thus
appears, will be completely disappointed, and the brewers
will continue to enjoy their monopoly. This abandonment
of a measure, so deservedly popular, will necessarily ex-
cite much dissatisfaction in the country. While it pro-
mised great advantages to the health and comforts of the
people, it was liable to but one objection, and that was
capable of being removed. The present tenants of
houses licensed to sell beer, belonging to brewers, should
be compensated for the money expended in purchasing
the right of occupancy.

CITY, TwELvE o'CLocK.

Although Monday is a double post day, not a single ship letter
has come to hand this morning; consequently, we are deprived of
information, and the Funds continue steady at the leaving off price
of Saturday, 921 foe the Account, and 921 for Money. The
very precarious state of his Majesty's health prevents any specula.
tions of importance

In the Foreign Market little oe nothing doing as yet. Spanibh
Bonds are not so good as on Saturday.

Livsaroot., MAY I.—The importation of cotton this week is
again large, being 28,515 bags, white; the sales are only 6440, at a
further reduction in price of I to j penny per lb.—The export of
raw cotton from Great Britain, during the month ending 24th of
April, was 2,856 ; and from London, Liverpool, and Hull, in the
shape of only calicoes, 28,596, and twist, 13,926, amounting to
42.522,bags of raw cotton. In sugar, 900 hhds. of B. P. have
been mold this week at former rates, with 240 bags good white Ben-
gal at 68.

Accounts from Paris state, that a telegraph despatch has been
received from Toulon from:Admiral Duperre, that every thing was
ready for the embarkation of the army; but we learn by the Aviso
that for the great activity which has been displayed for the embarks.
tion of the troops, it is doubtful that the squadron will be able to
put to sea before.the lith May, or the lst of June. The flotilla,
composed of transports, will form four divisions, commanded by
four Captains of frigates; the ships of war will form one separate
division, and put to sea before the convoy of transports. They will
have on board 22,000 men, with the light artillery; the materials
of the army will be on board the freighted ships, and will sail a
short time after. The attack of Algiers, both by sea and land, will
take place at same time : the squadron to be in divisions.
