OUR VENERABLE SOVEREIGN.

Ots this subject, so dear to the heart of every
ton, the public have not for mune time Past been Pet
in possession of any particulars beyond the formal
announcement in the monthly Bulletins. The fol-
lowing circumstances. tending, so far as our means
extend, to .upply the omission, will, it is hoped,
prove acceptable. It has been reported, and we be-
lieve partially credited, that his MAJESTY has lost his
hearing ep well as his sight.; but we are happy to
state, that there is no troth in the•report. Indeed,
as if PnovlDENce kindly intended tecompensate for
the loss of vision, his MA:III7Y% *Aso of heating is
not merely quick, but it has become, if we may be
allowed to use Cle term, A:criminality. When his
MA.nwry is in a composed state of mind, he can
readily distinguish and tell, by their footsteps, the
rame of any one who is approaching or passing him.
As bit! few are allowed to see him, he generally
amuse: himself as they pass, by calling to them by
n;.rne. His MAJESTY% habits have not in consequence
of infirmity or fad age, undergone material change.
His Muses: y, as usual, rista earlybreakfasts at
eight o'clock, or anon after—dines at one—continues
partial to mutton and beef, and when in a tranquil
state, he orders what his dinner table shall be tur-
Lished with. The principal page is in constant at-
tendat.ce, as also the subaltern assistants of the medi-
cal men. A sunk walk has been made adjoining the
trite of rooms ; but latterly his MAJESTY, it
is Slid, has declined walking there, alleging that it
would be no gratification to him, as he is deprived
of sight. The rooms that his MAJESTY and attendants
occupy consist of thirteen, and they are extremely
well ventilated. When the QUEEN is at Windsor, her
Majesty. attended by Dr. JOHN WILLIS, generally
t.uts her Consort about ten o'clock.

LAW IN! ELLIGENCE.

cDeaf OF CHANCERY, AUGUST 11.
OPERA HOUSE.
WATERS v. TAYLOR.

Mr. HART stated, that according to the wish of
I.is LordslOp to be informed of the amount of the
sums, and how applied, that were alluded to in the
4:fferent m Tien,, he held in his hand a short affida-
vit, specifying some of the authorities on which the
Master had acted in making his 'report, relative to
the i4Qt,0(30 due to the plaintiff, and also those due
by the defendant, and those due to him, and also the
sums that had been paid into Court, and on what ac-
count they had been paid. His Lordship would,
Fnhaps, like to peruse the affidavit before he gave
L:s j•tdgment on the merits of the case.
The Lunn CHANCULLOII...." This affidavit has been
most properly made as I ought to be in possession
of every fact. When we consider the repeated appli-
cations that have been made by the different prawns
°named in the Opera House, I am happy the case
is now come to a narrow point. I will mad this of
lidavit this evening, and trace its statements as they
are cc inectrd with the citcurnstances of the tasr, and
I will decide it on Wednesday."

MARIALMOUGH 11005 E.
VEIINnit V. THE DUKE Of MARLBOROUGH.

M. HART stated, that he bad, on a former day,
moved for a receiver-to be appointed to the estate of
the noble defendant, so far as related to Marlborot►gh
House. It appeared that the late Duke had a titie,
during itis lite, to the Hou►e, and after his decease it
descended to the defendant. It was mortgaged to
Cotterell and Co. and afterwards to another person,
for whom his Learned Friend (Mr. Leach) was
Counsel, but he did not appear at the time the rno.,
tion was made, and was flow on the Circuit as Chief

Justice to Chester, and he had expressed his with to
him (Mr. Hart) that the older for Ow receiver should
be postponed till the Sittings before the next Term.
Tl:ere was another most, on another estate of the
noble defendant, called White Knights, which was
disputed. He (the Learned Counsel) would not
press for a receiver as to that estate until Mr. Leach
was heard on the part of his client.
Mr. But, • Counsel for the defendant, thought it
would be better that the order for the receiver v.oold
be made then, as the house could not be let until it
was made.
The Lonn CHANCILLOL—H T thiA le will be right
to grant the order now, although it may not be acted
on till the Sittings bettor@ term. If any person shalt
wirer to take the mansion in the mean time, a treaty
may be entered into, and an application made to this
Court to ratify it." Receiver appointed.
