was prevented from being present at the Review of
the troops on Hounslow Heath yekterday, by an
attack of the gout in his left hand.. We understand
that hii Mangsrir felt some symptoms of its ap-
proach on Thursday Evening, but hoping to find
relief from his customary medicine, the bfders for
the chargers for the KIgG and suite were not coun-
termanded, and they proceeded to the field. itcord-
ingly ; but the painful malady increasing, his MA-
JESTY was unavoidably obliged to abandon the I
design, although every preparation was made for
his MAJESTY reviewing, the troops in person. The
attack of the gout, though severe, is confined to his
MAJESTY'S hand. The KING'S general health_is
extremely good. The troops were reviewed by the
Dukes of YORK and CAMBRIDGE.

London to Margate, on Sunday last, was the scene
of a singular incident: A Lady, the wife of Mr.
NORMA N, of London, far advanced in-her pregnancy,
WAS unexpectedly taken in labour, and with the as-
sistance of a Medical Gentleman, by great good
luck on board, was safely delivered of a fine boy,
who, with the mother, is likely to do well. The
affair took place in the ladies' cabin, atd so much
caution was observed, that out of 130 passengers,
not more than * dozen persOns were aware of it
until it was all over. The husband was on board,
and very handsomely invited the passengers to drink
to the welfare of the :Waller and child—the latter
Was immediately, in full bumpers, christened Tye
FAVOURITE.--It may become A question, as to what
parish the birth is to be registered in, as it took place
shoitly after the vessel had left the River, and was
between the Isle of Sheppy and Reculver.
