771 E QUEEN.

The following is the account received yesterday
morning The QUEEN continues very much indis-
posed, but her MAJESTY has passed a better night
than was expected."
The following is the Bulletln exhibited this morn-
ing :—" The QUEEN has had refreshing sleep during
the night, but still continues indisposed."

Wager Policies have been opened at LLOYDS, on
the following terms: To pay Ten Guineas, to receive
One Hundred, if there shall be War within twelve
months between this Country and the United States.
We copy the following P.xtract of a Letter received
a few days ago from Paris, from The Morning Poat :
" I am Indeed surprised at your intention of leaving England
at this time. A revolutionary spirit very generally reigns. When
the Allies quit France little doubt is entertained but there will
be a general massacre. Many are already ilisposiug of their pro-
perty to take a are,rnd flight to England ; and if the united ad-
vice of Colonel - and myself have ally weight, you will re-
main in England, as I doubt not all the English here will soon
be glad to return to their own country."
The paper alluded to states the letter to have been
written by the Lady of an Officer of rank, and adds,
It was deemed advisable to communicate the con-
tents of the letter to Government; but the answer
returned neither confirms nor refutes the statements
in question—no opinion whatever having bzen de-
liver•si upon the subject."
We should have been surprized indeed had the
Government made any reply to such a communica-
tion. There are hundreds of similar letters received
every week from Paris.

Saturday evening the Grand Duke 11("11 AEL sailed
from Dublin for Holyhead, on a visit to the Mar-
quis of ANGLESEA.
MUNDEN is so far recovered from his long and
severe indisposition, as to have entered into aa en-
gagement to perform a few nights at Manchester.
This day, aCC:IP ling to annual custom, the Loan
MAYOIL went in grand procession from the Mansion-
House to Smithfield, to proclaim Bartholomew Fair.
This Fair is said to bring the City a considerablesum
by way of rents for the stands, which-are so high,
that even a sausage parlour and kitchen let for a puma
a day ; an oyster shop for half that sum ; and the more
extensive establishments proportionably reasoaable
Tuesday se'nnight a young man, named James
Reeky, confidentially employed as book-keeper and
cashier, in the house of MT. ALEXANDER 'AFC A RTIIY.
an eminent merchant, residing in the City of Cork,
absconded with a sum of money, amounting to nearly
five hundred pounds ; his absence was almost imme-
diately noticed. He was traced to Dubliu, and taken
into custody in a boat which was endeavouring to put
him on board the packet for Holyhead, with the
view, ultimately, of taking refuge in America. The
whole of the embezzled property was found upon him.
nESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT SIIEERNES.—Last Tues-
day evening, about ten o'clock, a most alarming
fire broke out in the premises of Mr. G REA THEAD,
linen-draper, which speedily extended to the adjoin-
ing houses of Mr. JACOBS' stationer, Mr. CLAPSONinnkeeper, Mr. Bats., and Mr. 13F.NTIIANI, the whole
of which, with a great deal of valuable property, fell
a prey to the devouring element. The Dock-yard
engines attended almost immediately after the fire
commenced, and every possible assistance was ren-
dered by the officers of the yard and of the ships in
ordinary, as well as by the inhabitants at large; but
from the combustible nature of the premises, consist-
ing mostly of wood, the flames spread with a vio-:
lence and rapidity which seemed for a long time to
defy every effort to subdue them. It was not till
four o'clock in the morning that an end was put to_
the conflagration. Several persons were much hurt;
and we regret to add, that a daughter of Mr. CLAP-
SON was so seriously affected by fright at the cala-
mity, that she died in the course of a few hbuts after.
Among the persons who distinguished themselves in
their exertions on this unfortunate occasion, Lieute-
nant RIDOUT and Midshipman MEIELEBIAM are par-
ticularly deserving of praise, for their bold and en-
terprising activity.

WC are sorry to learn by the Emily Southseaman,
which arrived in the Downs on Saturday last, that
great apprehensions were entertained at the Cape for
the safety of the Union Indiaman, which ship had
been daily expected thither for a long time.
It will be recollected, that, in one of the early ope.
rations of the present war in India, two British Offi-
cers fell into the hands of some troops belonging to
the Peisawn, and were reported to have been bar-
barously put to death. The event, at the time, ex-
cited universal indignation. We are happy to learn,
by recent advices received from Bombay; that these
Officers, whose names are said to be Mortarsos and
flits-rim, Cornets in the Madras Cavalry, are disco-
vered to be still in existence, the enemy not having,
as stated, put them to death, but merely detaining
them in confinement.

Rear-Admiral Sir THOMAS 13. MARTIN, Comp-
troller of the Navy, arrived at Pembroke on Mon-

broke Dock lard, and examining into the various
departments of that Establishment. Mr. Seermos,
one of the Surveyors of the Navy, had arrived on
the Friday preceding, and • on the following day in-
spected the ships on the stocks. It is now ascertained
that the BriAittst.r, of 71. guns, will not be launched
until the Sluing, as a preference is to be given for
the completion of the frigates at present building,—
Several whales have lately been seen in St. George's
