Their Lordships visited the KING.
Yesterday, the following 13ulletin was exhibited at
St. James's Palace:

" Windsor Castle, January 1.

" his /*Lamm's disorder has undergone no sensible altera-
tion. His MAJESTY'S bodily health has partaken of some cf the
infirmities of age, but has been generally good during the last
month."

We are sorry to learn that Mr. CatENVILLE Vett-
tcol was seriously wounded on Saturday, by an acci-
dent at a shooting party, at Cobham Hall, the seat of
the Earl of DARNLEY. An erroneous report pre-
vailed in tcwn this forenoon, that it was his Grace
the Dnke of WELLINGTON who had met wit'• this
aecident ;,his Grace was in town yesterday, and well.
The Mat quis ref BLANDFORD has been entertaining
a large party of Fashionables, at his seat in Sussex,
during the holidays.
The Duke and Duchess cf RCTLAND ha: e. been
entertaining a large party of Fashionables during the
holidays, at their splendid seat, Belvoir Castle, Rut-
landshire. Her Grace has not been unmindful of
the lower orders at this inclement season--they
eipetience her bounty in no ordinary degree.
RICHARD Thomesox, E q. has lately caused a
large quantity of coals, and two fat oxen, which
weighed more than 150 stone, of exceeding fine beef,
to be distributed amongst the Poor in the villages of
Escrick, Deighton, Wheldrake, fleet.

GORONEfeti INQUEST —An Inquisition was held oa.
Saturday, at St. Giles's Workhouse, on the body of
Mary Hansard. The Jury, being sworn, took a view
of the body, which lay in the dead-house, a spectacle
the most loathsome, covered with rags and filth.—
Ann Maxwell, a poor creature, whose situation was
truly piteous, stated, that on Monday last the ae-
ceased came to her lodging, in a cellar at Steward's-
rents, Drury-lane, and told her that she was in the
greatest distress, having no home, and hoped she
would let her cook a few potatoes which she had had
given to her, and a piece of a herring ; she told her she
was welcome to do so : while she was eating the
food, she said that she received eighteen pence weekly
from St. Ann's Parish, and asked witness to let her
remain in her house all night. She told her that she
herself had neither bed *or covering, but if she chose
to do as she herself was compelled to do, lie on the
floor, she might do so. The deceased expressed her
thankfulness for the favour, as otherwise she would
have been obliged to walk in the streets all night.
They both laid themselves on the floor late on Mon-
day night, and on the following morning she asked
the deceased to get up and go to St. Anh s for her
money- The deceased said she felt unable to get up,
she was so stiff with cold. She endeavoured to assist
her, but. she was unable to get up. Information was
given of her condition at St. Giles's Workhouse, and
during the day she expired,—Several of the Jury
were of opinion that her death was caused by the
severity of the weather- and want of proper nourish-
ment, when in a state of great debility ; ethers of the
Jury wci e of opinion that she could not have died
for want, because she ate potatoes, and part of a her-
ring on the preceding night ! After some discussion,
a verdict of Natural Death, by the Visitation of Gou,
was returned.

CADIZ, DECEMBER 8, 1819.—Scarcely bad the
yellow fever ceased, when the Board of Trade has
come upon us with a demand for money. The Edict
published on this subject, on the 6th instant, rates the
quota corresponding to Cadiz at eighteen millions of
zials, which ata destined to aid in the outfit of the
expedition; and adds, that tlie Board had hoped,
from the zeal and patriotism of the proprietors, that
they would not even have waited for the term
fixed for their compliance wi:h the orders of
'-wer iment, but that the effects have not answered
topes, for the number ,has been very small
ose wko have fulfilled their obliotions.—
:hstanaing an indifference so reprehensible on
tit of the Proprietors, adds the would
to authorize the Board to take measures the
igorous, they did not consider it to be their
o employ them in the state of desolation in
the city was plunged during the prevalence of
reri bat now, as this scourge has disappeared,
;h the mercy of Dr VINE PROVIDENCE, and con-
ig also the severity of the new orders received,
lard of Trade renew their former invitations
present Edict, and declare, if the Proprietors
realize the full payMent of their respective
igents peremptorily, within a Very short delay,
will positively adopt rigorous measures, by
ig property under sequestration, as, well as
due and not due, till the principals and costs
seen covered. It is unnecessary to attempt to
:o you .the situation of the City. We are now
the greatest difficulties to make up a contri-
of 100,000 dollars, when formerly a large por-
. the gold and silver that circulates in the world
to pass through our hands.

Sun :lay se'nnight, the Egeria, SS guns, Captain
SHIFFNER, arrived from Newfoundland, which island
she left on the 21st of November, with the trade for
Lisbon. She remained in the Tagus eleven days, and
then took on board Mr. WELD, the British Charge
d'Affaires to, the Court of Lisbon, and his family,
whom she landed at Cork. The Sir Francis Drake,
and DRAKE slop of war, were the only vessels left
it Sr. JOhn's. The Grasshopper, Captain BUCHAN,
was in the Ray of Exploitsi.where it was intended
she should winter, and on the setting in of the frost,
to send an expedition over the ice, on the river, for
the purpose of opening a conciliatory communica-
tion with the Red Indians, one of which tribe (a
woman) was on board the Grasshopper, and was
to be employed in the negociation. These Indians,
from a mistaken notion of the character and inten-
tions of our fishermen, commit at every opportunity,
predatory mischief on their nets and propetty up the.
rivers, and murder whatever stragglers unfortunately
fall in their way. The catch of fish this season, on
the coasts of Newfoundland, has been tolerably good,
but the markets proved very bad. Some of the ves-
sels which arrived at Lisboa with the Egeria, were
subsequently obliged to proceed with their cargoes to
the Mediterranean. The Egeria brought home Cap-
tain BORKER; and part of the Officers and crew .of
the Sir Francis Drake, which ship has been laid op
at St. John's, in a reduced state.
