SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS.

THE iNTELLIGENCE.THE KING AND THE ADWINISTRA•
riox.—We have been informed, from a highly-respectable quarter,
hat the King declared in Council yesterday morning that be had
great pleasure in leaving the Government of the country in the
Same hands, as he felt that he could not do better than tread in the
'ups of his illustrious and lamented brother. It is understood,
mwever, that there will be some changes in the Administration ;
tint these, of course will be totally unconnected with any conditions
'mposed upon the Premier. His Majesty has made the Duke of
Norfolk a privy councillor. The office of Ranger of Windsor
Forest was conferred upon the Earl of Illonntchatles(or,as some state,
lard Stratbaven) two days before the death of his late Majesty. Sir G.
`,ockburn will be appointed to the command of the Channel fleet.
2ne death of his late Majesty took place under the following cir-
•umatatices :—Towards three o'clock Saturday morning he felt a
udden attack of the bowels, and desired to be moved from his
ouch to his chaise percee—a violent discharge of blood ensued ;
he King instantly placed his hands upon his breast, and said, " I
eel an odd sensation here—can this be death?—call Ilalford." The
Ki tg was removed to his couch, and Sir Henry Raiford was called.
13, fare he could arrive the glue of death was over the eyes of his
Majesty, and ins few minutes he was no more. Since writing the
bore we have received an assutance, from high authority, that the'
King, on having the resignation of the Ministers tendered to him,
atom, the seals, and behaved to the Duke of Wellington In the
nost cordial manner.

THE OwszavEa..—Changes, numerous ant extensive, must
rake place in the Government ; but, as we stated some time ago.
tin Majesty is witious to retain the servicea of the Premier, and it
a believed the difficulties which stood in the way of that arrange.
pent ant not insurmountable. The Chancellor of the Exchequer,
t is admitted on all hands, must retire from sheer incompetency—
Lords Melville, Bathurst, and Ellenburough, might claim the same
•xempion ; we believe the motive of their retirement is somewhat
different. Mr. Huskision will probably be the new Colonial Se-
:retail, Sir G. Murray going, by previous arrangement, to the
Hors,: Guards. Sit Henry tiarainge, it is already known, will be
the Secretary for Ireland. The vacancies are to be filled up partly
from the Whigs and partly from the friends of the King. Lana
umlowne takes efEce again, and it is extra mely probable that,
Lord Palmerstone, Mr. Grant, and the other friends of Mr. Has.
down, will be provided for in the new arrangements. The position,
.tf the Lord Chancellor seems to be more doubtful than it was stl
it supposed ; the difficulty will, we believe, be to find a
i•uccetsor. Lord Goderieh is also mentioned among the new
inters.

E SUNDAY Timcs —We are assured that, in consequence of
lie demise of the Crown, an immediate dissolution of Parliament
ay be expected. Ministers have been exceedingly embarrassed by
apprehension so generally entertained, as the Members of the
Lower House, persuaded that the period was near at hand when
:hey must again appeal to their constituents, were not quite so
iasily managed as in ordinary times. This evil would not be likely
o vanish if the present House of Commons were kept in existence
ror six months after the lamented event, and it is, therefore, pro.
able that a vote of credit will be proposed to carry on the public
ervice till a new Parliament can be chosen, and, this disposed of,
he dissolution takes place forthwith. That such will be the conne1
'untied is not very generally anticipated. NVhet we have said act
omits for the obstruction of business which Sir Hobert Peel has

non: than once thought It right to notice. The Alembers of the
'louse of Commons have generally had credit for great activity in
heir sixth *mien, and thcfpresent has been a sort of sixth session
viththetn.

LEKLY Times—His Majesty had repeated conversations
ridt his sister, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Oloucester, in
he course of which the King gave instructions as to arrangements
dtcr his demise, and repeatedly said, " Now mind what I say, do
lot low,. my instructions." The illustrious sufferer, however,
lever lost hi.s equanimity, and conversed with others in the most
•Iteerful way 0:1 ordinary subjects. His Majesty said nothing to
hem implying a consciousness of danger, or rather any apprehen.
•ion ; out, et' course, the wishes he hail expressed with regard to
mgenients after his demise sllowed that the King was perfectly
mare of the precariousness of his state, and that he might be very
soon summoned to another scene of existence. It is consolatory to
state that the latter days of our late excellent Monarch were less
stinful titan those of the preceding weeks, and that, until the last,
ifs Mii;esty retained perfect mental consciousness, with a mind in
larmony with his state, and in peace with all mankind.
Tr r5......The Court is now about to be remodelled. It will be.
;in, we trust, by being purified. A more amiable or considerate
!eiy, it is said, does not exist than is her present Majesty. The
-orreet, vireo though it may have been the severe, court of Queen
Charlotte, and her times, will no doubt be revived, and virtuous
leomen may once again present themselves and their daughters in
he !loyal coastibers with impunity. What political changes may
to consetrent on this great one in the person of the reigning Sore
reign it might be hazardous to guess. That a new arrangenstnt t f
lames and persons may, to a considerable extent, be made known, as
fi etiog pobllc functionaries of even the superior order, is r per ed
frith an eagerness which adds nothing to the authority of such pre-
fictions. Al! the ministersof the late King kissed hands last Saturday,
om hare heeil reengnizi 41 for the present as official servants of his
Ilajesty William IV. With roped to atotal change of the Cabinet,
,oisody, as we yet can learn, apprehends it. Those oho so far
