We are sorry to state, that the health of her Royal
Highness the Duchess of YORK is in a very precarious
state ; so much so, that for some weeks past it has
been necessary to carry her to and from her chamber.
The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER honoured
Drury-Lane Theatre with their presence, last night.
There was yesterday held a full meeting of the
Ministers at the house of the Earl of LIVERPOOL. and,
according to report, on a- very interesting subject.
Yesterday a wry-numerous and most respectable
Meeting of the Friends of THOMAS WILSON, Esq. one
of the Representatives fur the City of London, dined
at the City of London Tavern to celebrate the te•
election of that worthy Gentleman. JOSEPH MAR.
ItYAT, Esq. M.P. was in the Chair. The usual loyal
and other appropriate toasts were drank, and several
Gentlemen very eloquently addressel the Meeting on
the occasion.

There are at present in Whitecross-street Prison,

all waiting in anxious expectation of being released
by an Act of Grace, or Insolvent Bill, souu after the

INVESTITURE OF THE QUEEN'S LAW-
OFFICERS.

At twelve o'clock, this day, Mr. BROUGHAM, as the
Attorney-General to the Quart*, and Mr. Dsto.carr,
as the Solicitor General to her MAJESTY, -appeared
behind the Bar of the Court of King's Bench, West-
minster, in full dress robes, and were addressed by
the Loan PRIEF JUSTICE as follows:
" Mr Brougham, you have informed me that her
Majesty the Queen has appointed you her Majesty's
Atton ^y-General ;
" '2 r. Denman, you have also informed me that
her Majesty has appointed you her Solicitor-General;
cs You will take your seats, Gentlemen, within the
Bar."

The Learned Gentlemen did so, 'and received the
congratulationsoof their Brethren of the Bar.

LEEDS, APRIL 18.

We are still tranquil in this town and neighbour-
hood, though- the alarm occasioned by the recent
transactions has not abated. The accounts from
Manchester, Huddei sfield, Barnsley, Wakefield, &c.
state that all has been tranquil in these places since
my last; and were a general amnesty and oblivion of
the past held out, I am confident that the poor mis-
guided wretches in this part of the country (many of
whom have been the dupes of designing knaves)
would all return to the path of duty. Conciliation
and kindness, at this juncture, would do more good
than all the terrors of the.law.

There was to-night a very large assemblage of
unemployed workmen round the Market-cross, and
in the other principal parts of the town; but they
conducted themselves in the most peaceable manner.
Two more persons were apprehended at Hudders-
field this day, charged with being concerned in the
treasonable assembly at Grange-moor. Their exa-
mination has not terminated ; but there is no doubt
of their final commitment to York Castle. The prin-
cipal inhabitants of Huddersfield have enrolled their
names to form an Armed Association.

TRIAL OF ARTHUR THISTLEWOOD, FOR
HIGH TREASON.

The Trial of Arthur Thistlewood closed yesterday
evening, at about a quarter past five o'clock, when
the Jury, after being a short time in consultation,
delivered their verdict in these terms—" Guilty on
the Thi>d and Fourth Couids of the Indictment."
Eve!), one of the Counts;our Readers are aware,
involved the crime of High Treason.

The Third Count is on the 56th Ceo. 111. and charges the
prisoner with 2bmpassing, imagining, devising, ancrintending to
levy war against our Lord the King, within this realm, in order
by force and constraint to compel him to changu his measures

and counsels.—The Fourth Count is also on the Statute of the
Stith of the late King, for levying and making war against our
Lord the King within this realm, and attempting and endea-
vouring by force and arms to subveit and destroy the Constitu-
don and Government of this realm as by law established, and
to deprive and depose our said Lord the King of and from the
style, honour, and kingly name, of the Inverted Crown of
this realm.

The following is as full a sketch of the proceed-
ings, subsequent to our report of yesterday, as the
injunction of the Court will allow. It may not be
improper to remind our Readers, that the prohibition
extends to the publication of any one of the trials
till the.whole are concluded. The trial of Jugs is
to be the next proceeded with to-morrow.
CONTINUATION OF YESTERDAY'S BUSINESS.

The reply of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL occupied
nearly two hours. He contended that the case was
fully substantiated against Thisikwoo4. Many of
the facts sworn to by the accomplices were, he ob-
served, corroborated, as far as was possible, by the
testimony of unimpeached witnesses.
Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT then proceeded to
charge the Jury, making such observations on I.lle
evidence of the different witnesses as appeared to
the Learned Judge to be illustrative of the case.
At a quarter before five o'clock the July retired ;
but, after an absence of a few minutes, returned,
and requested the Learned Judge to read to them
the statute of the 36th of George 111. with which he
.
immediately complied.
. The Jury again retired, and, after an absence of
about fifteen minutes, returned into Court, and deli-
vered a verdict of Guilty, on the third and fourth
counts of the indictment.
Thistlewood, who appeared wholly unaffected by
the verdict, was then removed from the bar, sur-
rounded by several officers.
The ATTORNRY-GENERAL then observed, that as
it was very probable, many of those Gentlemen who,
were summoned to act as Jurors on this occasion, not.
being aware of the termination of this trial, would
not be in attendance to-morrow, it would perhaps be
proper that the further proceedings, in the cases for
High Treason should be adjourned until Friday.
Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT.—It will, I think, be
necessary. The proper officer can go round and in-
form the Gentlemen summoned on the Jury, that they
are to attend again on Friday morning.
• Chief Justice DALLAS.—On Friday morning these
isials will be renewed. To-morrow the ordinary
business of the Court will be proceeded in, before the
Common Set jeant.
A Juror—My Lord, are we not, to be discharged?
Chief Justice ABBOTT—You will not be called on
the next trial; but I am not prepared to say that you
can be wholly absolved.
A Juror,lt is a great hardihip onus-we have nut
'been home since Monday.
• Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT—You will not be
wanted, at all events, before next Monday. Farther
than that, I ant not able to say now.
A Juror—We do not wish to press Cie indulgence
beyond Monday, my Lord.
The Court adjourned at half-past six.
Weistlewood, after his removal front tim Bar last
night, was much agitated, particularly during the
time of having his hoot pat on,

When the clogs and impedimespts of Lawyers,
stamps, and deeds, in the transfer of landed pro-

ment that so many prefer the Funds ; which may
not only always be converted into money at an hour's
notice, but we are sure to a day when the dividends
will be paid, and to a penny how much we shall re-
ceive. This is a punctuality unknown in any other
species of income; and' we commend HAZARD and
Co. for availing themselves of the low price when
they contracted with Government, so as to secure to
adventurers the rise of Consols above 68i, in the
Four Prizes of 030,000, &c. and in the Two of
£20,000, which, with upwards of Twenty other Ca-
pitals, must be drawn NEXT THURSDAY, when the

MR. BRANISEN'S TRAVELS.—It is not generally
known, that this extensive and interesting Tour, of
which a Second Edition has just appeared, was per-
formed in company with the eldest anti of Sir JOHN
MAXWELL ; consequently, the author possessed the
advantage of the best introductions, and fully avail-
ing himself of them wherever he found society suffi-
ciently relieved from the distractions of politics, he
has described the fashionable circles of Vienna,
Rome, and other Cities, with great vivacity and
effect. His stay at Naples has enabled him •to give se-
veral interesting anecdotes of an Illustrious Personage
from our'own Country; and Ms account of the Ilia-
niottes, their modes of living, &c. is full of curious
facts, many of which have not come within the ob-
servation of any other traveller.
FIRING OF HEREFORD COLLEGE. HEREFORD,
19.—Yesterday, Mr. Hayter, the organist,
and his brother, were finally examined; and the
Magistrates, after a long and patient investigatiolli,
with the assistance of legal advice, not deeming the .
evidence sufficient to support a Bill before a Grand
Jury, they were discharged. • The strongest, circum-
stances against them were the contradictions in their
'statements whilst under examination, for which, con-
sidering the distressing and peculiar situation they
were placed in, much may he allowed ; and now,
that they are restored to society, we sincerely hope
that they wilbsoon recover the estimation they for-.
merly enjoyed.
Darra.ocarva Firm—Yesterday morning, between the hours
of one and two o'clock, as the watchman of King-street, Blooms-
bury-square, was going his rew.ds. be observed a great body of
smoke issuing front the parlour windows of the hot:se of Mrs.
Merrick, of No. 64, in the above street. Ile made an alarm,
god the family, who, with the lodgers, were in bed, awoke ;
bat their passage being obstructed down the stairs by the Batas,
they were necessitated to climb over the houses to make their
escape. Several engines .:rived on the spot, and played with
arnazinractwity on the flamer, but they shortly aft..r extended
themselves to the strides of Mr. Kent, at the back of Mrs.
Merrick's house; they also burstinto the upper part of the pre-
, miser of Mr. Morrie, neat door, and did much damage. Abo..t

~:_

Yesterday, being the first day of Easter Tetm, the
LORD CNANORLLOR attended at Lincoln's Inn Hall,
at his usual time. Shortly after, thaitrot-Cumacit.-
LOR and seven of the Judgeav with the principal
Counsel of the Chancery and other Courts, waited on,
his Lordship, and took breakfast. They then ac-
companied his Lordship in prbcession to open the
Courts at Westminster. The Chief Justices of the
Ring's Bench and Common Pleas, with the Chief
Baron of the Exchequer, together.with Mr. Justice
Rtomapsos, were not of the party, they being en-
gaged on the trials at the Old Bailey.
COURT OF KINO'S BENCH, APRIL 19.

At the sitting of the Court,
Mr. Justice -BAYLEY, addressing himself to Messrs.
Fonblanque, Wetherell, and Jarvis, who sat behind
. the Bar, said, that it having pleased his Majesty King
• I ;eorge the Fourth to re-instate them in their rank of
King s Counsel, they would accordingly take their
scats within the Bar.
- Mr. Justice BAYLET then addressed Mr. Casberd,
who sat without the Bar, and said, that his Majesty
Laving been graciou:ly pleased to appoint him as one
(f his Counsei learned in the law, he would take his
sett within the Bar in future.
THE KING V. ROGERT HUGH.

• The. defendant, against whom articles of the peace]
had been exhibited by the Earl of Darnley, appeared
in Court, and positively denied having ever -enter-
tained any intention to inflict bodily harm on the
Earl of Darnley, or commit any breach of the peace
towards his Lordship. He (the defendant) was much
in the habit of taking morning walks in Berkeley
square, for the benefit of his health. He met Lord
Darnley in one of these walks, when he stopped to
addresi him, for the purpose of removing all those
apprehensions which his Lordship seemed to entertain
fiorn the circumstance of his having exhibited arti-
cle the peace against him. He denied that he ad-
dressed his Lordship in any manner that could give
him the slightest ground fur alarm, lie also denied
that he ha.l aly design of going abroad. In fact, it
was impossible he could carry into effect any such
&sign, on a:count of his pecuniary embarrassments,
which were incleased by his long confinement, in
consequence of charges alleged against him, but'
ss bath were not sapported by one tittle of evidence.
'With respect to the apprehensions entertained of him
by the Earl of Darnley, he repeated they were wholly
groundless. He regarded the abominable crime of
assassination with the utmost abhorrence, and would
b.! as slow to commit it as any individual in the cowl-,
try. In conclusion, he represented 'his inability to
- procure the bail to keep the peace which was now
demanded of him, namely, two sureties in £lOOO
• each, because the only means by which'he could ef-
fect this, would be- to deposit the several sums as a
.security, 414 this, ft ow his pecuniary circumstances,
he was wholly unable to do. Ile was quite ready to
enter into any reasonaSle security, and therefore pro•
po3rd two sureties-in £lO3 each. .
The Junors having consulted together,
Mr. Justice BATLEY said, under these circum-
stances, all that the Coart could do, was to pet mit
the defendant to take a Rule to show cause why he
should not be discharged from custody, upon his en-
tering into recognizances, himself in £2OOO, and two
sureties in £lOO each:
TUE LING V. CAMPISELL.

Hug.h:Campbell was brought up to plead to an in-
formation filed against him by Captaia Mills, for an
alleged libel. It will be remembered that Captain
Mills underwent a trial at the Old Bailey for an al-
leged rape upon a young girl, which ended in his
accquittal. This Gentleman afterwards indicted the
pinks, who came forward to accuse him, for con-
spiring against hint, and he also obtaiued.a criminal
'information against the defendant, Campbell, for
an alleged libel respecting the same affair.
The defendant then requr.ted that their Lordships
would name an early day for his trial, observing, that
he had been. now detained in town more than nine
months, iu consequence ofthese proceedings, at a heavy
expense.
-Mr. Justice BAXLEY said, k was impossible f .r the
Court to appoint a day for the trial sooner than that
upon which it would devolve in the regular progress,
the public business.—The defendant pleaded Not
Guilty to the information. •
