FROM ENGLAND.


BY the packet ship Manchester. from Liv-
erpool. intelligence has been received Of the
death of the King of England He died a, a
quarter past three o'clock on the ,ornina Of
the Goth Of Juno.
We have condensed from the New York pa
pers the following interesting particulars oon-
nected with this event.
In the course Of Friday evening, before
nine o'clock, the physicians intiinsted 10
their royal patient their inability to give
him further relief, and their opinion that his
last moments were rapidly approaching.
To this communication his Majesty replied,
Gods will be done :" and in q few mo.
mepts after, he asked, "Wbere is Chichcs-
ter?" The Bishop Of Chichester was in
slantly summoned Ia the royal chamber,
and at his hands the dying sovereign re-
ccived the Sacrament. During the admin
stration Of this rite his majesty was much
less troubled by the cough than he had
been previously, and afterwards il gradu-
ally subsduJ, aud ,Uwuros mIunItht he
sunk into a state Of apparently quiet re-
pose, which continued until about three
o'clock, when he became rather restless,
and fecbly wished to have his head placed
in a more elevated POSITION Previous 10
this, oil the attendants had retired, except
Sir NJ. ]. Tierncy and Sir Wathen Waller;
they instantly attempted TO afford his Msj-,
esty the relief he requested; but they had
scarcely commenced the attempt when his
Majesty suddenly molioned them to desist,
and, placing both his hands upon his brssst,
he CALCULATED, "Oh this is not rgh, this
is death!-Oh, God!--Id am dying" These
were the last, and the only distinct words
he uttered after having received the Holy
Sacrament; and from this time his dissolu-
ton came on so quietly and so gradually
that the physicians had some difficulty in
asccrtaining precisely at what moment he
ceased to exist. In the mean time the
Bishop of Chichester, and all the principal
members Of the royal household, with the
pages in immediate attendance, were called
in, and, in their presence, without tho
slig ghtcst indication Of suffering, his Ma
lesty calmly expired. The principal per-
sons present were the Bishop Of Chlch hester,
the Physicians, the Marquis Conyngham,
Sir Andrew Barnard, Sir William Keppsl,
Sir William Knighton, Sir Wathen Wsl-
ler, Lord Strathaven, and Colonel Thorn
ton, and when the physicians had announc.
ed that his Majesty had ceased TO exist,
they retired-leaving the pages in atten-
dance TO perform the necessary attentions
TO the Royal corpse, under the superintcn-
dence Of the physicians.
The body was removed from the bed 10

posed throughout his illness, and covered
with a fine linen sheet--turned down 90 90
