We are happy to find by the Bulletin lamed
this day, that the KING is fast approaching to
a state of convaletcence.—The enquiries are so
numerous during the day, that it has been thought
necessary to have two persons in constant attend-
ance at the gates of Carlton Palace with copies of
the Bulletin, for the satisfaction of those who de-
sire to know the state of the KING'S health :
Carlton-Palace, Feb. 7. half-past II o'clock, a. m.
The King has passed a good night. His Majesty pro-
ceeds in his recovery in a satisfactory manner.

TIIE LATE

The preparations for the Royal funerals about to take
place in the Royal Vault or Mausoleum, are upon a more
extenaire Peale, sines his late 3lajesty King Ifeorge the
Third determined on preparing it for the reception of
the Royal remains, and the funeral of his late Majesty'
losing determined on to be a walking procession, if hat
been . • Word that it will require a platform and a
covered way from the grand entrance of the Palace to
St. George a Chapel, a distance of about 1,200 feet.
The Surveyor-General, with Mr. Brown and Mr. !Hort,
Officers of the Hoard of Works, hare been attending f. r
several days plat to give the necessary directions fur the
several arrangements, and for opening and closing the
Royal 31ausoleuni.

His late Majesty would never consent to the Emanci-
pation of the Catholics, because he considered that re-
moving the difficulties under which they laboured, and
rendering them eligible to the various offices in the
Army and Navy, would militate with the tenor of his
Coronation Oath, and though he was actuated by an en-
lightened and liberal spirit of toleration, which prompted
him to grant some concessions, yet his conscientious re-
gard to the solemnity of an oath-effectually deterred him
from yielding• to any further demands, as he considered
them pregnant with danger to the Protestant Establish-
ment, which he was bound to maintain itnimpaireol.
The following is the sleclaration of his Majesty upon the
subject:—" My Lord, I am one of those who respect an
oath. I have firmness sufficient to spit my Throne. and
retire to a cottage, or place my neck on a block or a
scaffold, if my people require it; but I have not resolu-
tion to break that oath which I took iu the most solemn
manner at my Coronation."
A very particular circumstance occurred at Windsor
in the year 1787, which occasioned mush conversation.
—His Majesty, after parading the Terrace with the
Duke's)! York rested his arm on the sun-dial which is
near the end of the walk ; the Duke did the same, and
confirmed in conversation with some gentlemen with
whom they hail for some time before been walking.—
During this parley, a sentinel upon duty there walked up
to the King, and "desired his Majesty to remove from the
dial, as it was under his particular charge."—His Ma-
jesty removes! accordingly, observing at the same time,
that the ina.i's rigid adherence to his orders was highly
rummendslole; and a few hours afterwards he was gra-
ciously pleased to recoMmend him to the Colonel of the
trgimenl as in object worthy of promotion, and one
who ought to
,be provided for in as eligible a wahner as'
tie nature of thesserevice would admit.
A gentlewoman of the name of Delany, said to have
been an intimate acquaintance of Dr. gwiff, lived for
several years with the Duchess of Portland as a com-
panion. On the decease of her Grace, Mrs. Delany was,
at the age of yI, left almost entirely destitute, the only
legacy bequeathed her being a few curiosities. The
Princesses having frequently seen Mrs. Delany in their
visits to the Dn.:hess, and knowing her cirenni.tance.,
took an opportunity of nsentioniiiK her case before the
Queen, whit, with that goodn►ss of heart fur which she
loan always heel distinguished. immediately laid the
matter before the King. when his Majesty readily con-
sented to give her a small house in Windsor Park ; and
on its being represented by Lady Harcourt that some-
thing more was requisite to enable the old gentles/known
to pass the evening of her days in comfort, sot only
furnished the house with every necessary article, but,
after taking the trouble to inspect the premises, that
nothing might be wanting, settled upon her a handsome
pension for life.

Yesterday, Divine Service was perfdrmed at the
King's Palace in Pall-mall, by the Reverend F. W.
BLOMBERG and the Rev. Dr. STA lER CLARKE.
We understand that Prince Leimot.n and the
Mike of SUSSEX are to be the chief mourners at
the funeral of the Duke of KENT.
The LORI) CIIANCELNOR went yesterday to Carl-
ton Palace, and had an audience of his iIAJESTY,
which continued nearly an hour.
As no mandate of the Privy Council has as yet
been issued, prescribing the form of prayer now to
be used in the Church service, it was expected, as
a matter of course, that the usual prayers would be read
vesterday for their Majesties. Tfiis was, however, not
the case in Westminster Abbey, either in the forenoon
or afternoon service. The ;thriving minor Canons.
Messrs. Pridilen and Shelton, read the usual form of
prayer fer the King, but totally omitted taking any no-
tice of her present Majesty. This evidently excited
much surprise • but it must certainly have been
sanctioned. as the Dean (Dr. Ireland) and erne of the
Prebendaries (Mr. Causton) were present. Very dr&
ferent, however, was the conduct of the officiating
clergyman (Mr. Rodber) in St. Margaret's church, as
the usual prayer was read for our most gracious
Queen" both times of the daily service, and two very
suitable sermons preached ; that in the forenoon by Mr.
Rodber, and in the afternoon by the Rev. Hobert
Stevens. In mostly all of the ebttrchrs and dissenting
places of worship, liar Majesty was peeved for as '• Queen
Caroline." Why this omission should have taken place
In the Abbey service, or whet possible reason can be
stated to justify it, we are utterly at a loss to conjecture.
Mr. Prid en, the minor Canon, who officiated in the
foreauun, is Rector of St. George, Botolph-lane; a
minor Canoe of St. Paul's and the Abbey, and one of
the tea priests in ordinary to his Majesty. The Royal
Family was rayed fur, but not the slightest allusion
made to her Majesty.
We are informed that the Queen has no went in
this country, except Messrs. Coutts, who are her
hankers, bat that her Majesty has four trustees, Rarls
Fitswilliam and &ire, Messrs. Brougham and H. Mar-
tin, the fifth, Mr. Whitbread, being dead. Her Majesty's
account is of course kept in the abort names, at Messrs.

THE KIES P. ROUTALL.

The Soucrron-lizmunaL prayed the judgment of the
Court on John Houpall, who had been found guilty, at
the Sittings before last, on an indictment charging him
with working a certain mill for the purpose of pita g
lead, which was a public nuisance to the surruu
inhabitants.
Mr. tivarrey, on behalf of the defendant, informed
the Court, that Mr. Roupall was at the present moment
engaged in making such arrangements as would even-
tuely abate the nuisance. He therefore begged that
judgment might be deferred until the experinient had
been made.

This WAR oppose.' hy the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, who
observed, that from the evidence given at the trial, k
was evident that the evil was totally irremerFahle. The
purpose of the mill was to purify lead, and in the pro-
cess, arsenic anil antimony were used. In consequence,
the vapour arising therefrom was heavier than the at-
mospheric air, and nut only prevented all vegetation,
hut materially- affected the health of the neighbour-
hood.

The Ours. JUSTICE observed, that mnch 61 the evil
arising from nuisance had accrued from the mistaken
indulgence of the Court in granting time to the de-
fendants to make experiments for remedying the nui-
sance. In this case, it was evident that the nuisance
could no-Ite remedied unless by its total abatement, and
Is* theiviere adjudged the defendant to enter into re-
cognisance. nut to proceed in working the mill.

PITT or ProuN.—The city of Dublin, we understand,
will be fiercely contested. It is said, hut we hope with-
out foundation, that 31r. Grattan means to decline. To
as who, notwithstanding all we have said, and netessa:
rily so, on some parts of his public conduct, this would
be a disappointment. We did hope that the great Fa-
ther of the Catholic Question would live to achieve its
accomplishment. He should not die until his political
destiny is fuhlled. Though we do not expert any exer-
tion from him lee should be on Isis post ; but. ii he
should he forgetful of what he owes his own glory, we
shall not—we shall oppose every man of Isis Dame
but himself, that may presume to use its magic in a
canvass to the city of Itublin.
Master Ellis, it is said, is up. and joins Mr. Shaw!
Mr. Shaw, the friend of Catholic Emancipation! It is
really strange, that the city of Dublin cannot And a

Sir. Ellis is quite Quinotic—howeyer, he may produce
some An, not a bad thing in these dull times. One of
the Litiotches it, we understand, to be put in nomina-
tion. Alt. Henry Grattan, the younger, is talked of, hui
we hope and trust, for the lake of his fathei and him-
self, that there is no truth in this report.—Celunel
Caulfield is the fourth candidate.

iDr. Elriagteat's reading, that Mr. Plunkett noted
'to him, he has witemled his patronage to *4t very
clever Anil versatile pleader. It is certain that Mr
Plunkett has gotten the Provost's interest.. Mr. Torah,
the Barrister, is canvassing, but, as we rather think,
with little prospect of wrests.

lace is early in the field. lii. address will be found in
