‘! Kew, Sunday
" The Qtrzem still continues without any very
material recurrence of the more malevolent symp-
toms of her disease, though they have not so entirely
subsided as to allay the apprehension of their instanti,
return, and in consequence no relaxation in the
attendant arrangements has taken place, except the
visit of Sir HENRY HALFORD to Windsor, which is
rendered necessary by the indisposition of the Princess
Surma. In every other respect the arrangemenu of
the Palace manifest undiminished apprehension of
the catastrophe. Her MAJESTY is now incapable of
recognizing any person whatever, or of altering her
position in any degree without assistance, nor does
she even attempt to articulate her wishes. The Duke
of YORK visited the Palace this day, on his way to
Windsor. The PRINCE REGENT has not been at Kew'
since Thursday night, but reports are hourly sent tol
Carlton House."

DOVER, NOVEMBER 11

Arrived last night and this day, eight transports,
with a part of the 18th Regiment of Hussars, and
the baggage of the 7th Hussars. The 18th is or-
dered to Yorkshire. ,
RAMSGATE, NOVEMBER 15.

Arrived last evening,.and in the course of the
night, from Cakis, upwards of twenty vesselrof dif•
ferent descriptions, with horses and men of the 9th
Hussars, 18th Light Dragoons, and Artillery Drivers,
with several of the Royal Waggon Train. Our har-
bour is to-day a scene of great bustle ; but from the
great accommodation which it afford% almost the
whole of the transports are landing their horses at
one and the same time ; and it is with pleasure we
observe them to be in .good condition, considering
the roughness of the passage across. Lord UXBRIDGE,
son. of 'the gallant Marquis of ANGLESEA, with Co-
lonels Sir EDWARD KERRISOS and THORNHILL, of
the 7th Hussars, were landed out of one of the trans-
ports last evening, when they were welcomed to Old,
England again by Sir Wm. CURTIS, who is here with
his family. More transports are looked for here with
troops irons C4lai;, this evening's tide.

Above five thousand French women, of all ages
and descriptions, followed the British Army to Ca-
lais ; the anasdarried ones, who formed no inconside,
rable portion, were sent back to their respective com-
munes. The MuniCipal Authorities had prohibited,
lilt sale of all spiiitotis liquors in the harbour ; not
the slightest disturbance occurred at the embarkation
of the troops. A young and interesting female was
discovered in male attire, endeavouring to pass on
ship-board with the soldiers. Oa examination, it
came out that she belonged to a respectable family.
and that to personal attractions she added the
quirements of education, but that s!le had not been
able to Al ithstand the temptations of an illicit inter•
course with a private soldier ; her grief and agony
exceeded all description when site 'found that, not-
withstanding her supplications and remonstrances,
she was not allowed to continue her route. Orders
were issued to re•conduct her to her family ; but at
ili -time in which the letter containing this account
left Calais, she was in a state of delirium.—Of wo-I
men, who had become the wives of English soldiers,
there had beenernbarked, up to the Bth inst. nearly
1508, with above 1800 children.
Ten prisoners, belonging to t!-,e Queen's Bays,
were yesterday afternoon escorted to the Savoy Pri-
son, in the Strand, by about eighteen men. and an
Otlicer of the 9th Lancers.

PRIVATE LETTER.

Two respectable famiiies have this week sold oci.
their domestic establishments, ar.d taken the:: dcpar-
wre to Liverpool, there to ernhatk for tl-e ;,g arl of
Pr raise. Several Others arc preiaring follow
them in the ensuing Spring, rho ir.tcni to attempt
the establishment of mantrfaccories on t'ic banks of
the Ohio ; and certainly, notwithstanding v.hat may
be said to the contrary, the accounts that are almost
daily received here, by the friends and relatives of
those who have from time to time emigrated from
hence, are flattering in the extreme ; and I cannot
'learn of even a single instance of individual dissatis-
faction. Nevertheless, as my friend Mr. B—ic says,
a I advise no man to emigrate who feels himself com-
fortable at home."

arly on Saturday morning an alarming fire broke
out in the drying-house of Mr. COLLIER, sizer, in
Tipping, Court, Manchester, which at onetime (from
the contiguity of the extensive 'warehouses, stockcd
with all descriptions of valuable goods), threatened
the most alarming consequences : but, by the very
prompt arrival of the new and powerful engine be-
longing to the Norwich Union Office, aided by a plen-
tiful supply of water, the fire was confined to the
premises in which it originated. The whole of the
drying•house, however, was consumed, together with
a considerable quantity of goods. It is not known
how the fire originated.
Davav-Last THEaraz.--Saturday night The Jew
of Malta was represented at this Theatre for the first
time this season. BEAN never played Barabbas with
greater effect. His harp song was loudly encored.
Mrs. W. WEST appeared as the-Abigail, and her per-
formance was extremely respectable. She received
tousicicrable testimonials pf approbation.
