It will doubtless be noticed, that the preceding bulletin differs materially from the series of medical reports for a considerable time past. We see now, with all the regret that the memory of the virtues and goodness of our venerable King must excite in every heart and mind, that his constitution at length begins to yield to the pressure of age. His Majesty is in the 82nd year of his age, and has entered upon the sixtieth year of his reigua reign, now longer in its duration, by nearly four years, than that of any former Sovereign on the English throne; that of Henry III. being barely 56 years.

Monday, Nov. 1.

This morning, between one and two o'clock, as a patrole was going the rounds in Whitechapel, he saw smoke issuing from the windows of the house of a Mr. Aaron Oram, linendraper; opposite the London Hospital. He sprung his rattle for assistance; but before any one arrived, the lower part of the house was enveloped in flames. Mr. Oram, Mrs. Oram, and their son (a youth of 17 years of age,) threw themselves out of a two pair of stairs window. Mrs. Oram was caught by the watchman, and received but trifling injury; Mr. Qram escaped most miraculously, without any fracture of his limbs; the son unfortunately had his leg broken. The servants and seven of the children were taken out of the windows of the upper stories. When the seventh child was taken from the window, the flame and smoke rushed in volumes from the upper part of the premises; and the servant man, who was on the ladder for the purpose of assisting the three remaining children from the burning pile, was compelled, to save his own life, to slide down the ladder, leaving the little unfortunate creatures at the window crying for relief, which no human power could render them. One boy, six years, another seven years, and a third, nine years of age, perished in the flames. The house of Mrs. Ross was also destroyed, and no property saved. The body of one of Mrs. Oram's children was dug out of the ruins on Monday morning, burnt to a cinder. A singular circumstance OCcurred during the above fire. A young Essex farmer who had a peculiar dread of a London fire, arrived the preceding day at a friend's house opposite (being his first visit to London), awakened from a sound sleep by the cry of "Fire, fire! Save the children!" He, in his alarm, supposing the house he was in to be on fire, rushed into the adjoining room, where he fancied his friend's children might be, seized on the first person he met, which happened to be the maid-servant, and actually hurried her into the street before he came to his recollection.

Tuesday, Nov. 9.

Being Lord Mayor's day,, the pageant of the civic procession to Westminsterhall, to swear in the new Lord Mayor, was observed with all its customary grandeur. At a quarter before twelve o'clock, his Lordship set out from the Mansionhouse in his state coach, drawn by six horses, splendidly caparisoned; the liveries of the postilions and footmen richly embroidered with gold lace. The Lord Mayor's coach was preceded by a troop of the Horse Guards in full uniform, and by bearers carrying the richly-ornamented flags of the barges of the several Civic companies. The first coach in order after the new Lord Mayor's, was that of the late Chief Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Atkins. We are concerned to notice the uncourteous reception which the late Lord Mayor received from the populace. Hisses and cries resounded on all sides, and some miscreant threw a brickbat into his coach as he passed along Bridge-street. The worthy Alderman, we are happy to state, received no injury.— The party, having taken water at Blackfriars-bridge, proceeded in the barges to Westminster. The usual ceremonies being gone through, the procession returned to Guildhall, where the dinner was in the most sumptuous style. The tables were laid in the usual way. The cross table elevated at the eastern end of the Hall, made a brilliant display of Royal aud Ministerial grandeur, including his Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Cabinet Ministers, viz. the Duke of Wellington, Lords Sidmouth, Harrowby, Westmoreland, Castlereagh, Bathurst, Mr. W. Pole, &c.; the French and Spanish Ambassadors; the Judges Abbott, Richards, Best, &c. The ball was opened with a minuet, by the Spanish Ambassador and Miss Atkins, daughter of the late Lord Mayor. The Hall was crowded to excess. Tables were laid for the surplus guests in the adjoining apartments. Upwards of 1000 sat down to dinner; and the supply of Champaign, Claret, and Madeira, was unlimited.

Wednesday, Nov. 10.

This morning, about four o'clock, a fire was discovered to have broken out on the premises of Messrs. Severn, King, and Co. sugar-brokers, Church-lane. Whitechapel. It broke out in the Sugar-refinery; the amount of injury sustained is, we are assured from competent authority,

Saturday, Nov. 13.

Sir Manasseh Masseh Lopez, Bart. who, it will be recollected, was convicted at the last Spring Assizes for the counties of Cornwall and Devon, upon an indictment in each county, for corruptly bribing certain freemen of the borough of Grampound, to vote on his behalf at the last general election for members to serve in Parliament for that borough, this day received sentence in the Court of King's Bench; which was, "That for Sir Manasseh Masseh Lopez's first offence, of which he had been convicted in Cornwall, he should pay to the King a fine of 8,0007. and be imprisoned in Exeter Gaol for 21 months: for his second offence in Devonshire, that he should pay to the King a fine of 2,000l. and be further imprisoned in the same gaol for three months.

Tuesday, Nov. 16.

In the Court of King's Bench, Richard Carlile was brought up to receive the judgment of the Court for the two libels of which he was convicted at Guildhall. The Court ordered and adjudged That the defendant, for his first offence, should pay to the King the fine of 1000%. and be imprisoned in Dorchester Gaol for two years; and that for his second offence, he should pay a fine to the King of 5001. and be imprisoned in the same gaol for one year, to be computed from the expiration of the first imprisonment; that at the expiration of that period, he should enter into securities for his good behaviour for the term of his natural life, himself in 1000l. and two sureties in 1007, each; that he should be further imprisoned until the fines were paid and the securities found.

The late prosecutions for the sale of im pious books make one of the characteristics of the times. That such works should have been ever produced, is a melancholy evidence of the blind iuveteracy of human nature. The judgment of the jury on Carlile vindicates the country; but there is more to be done, and the press will not have done its duty unless it throws off the infamy of his publicatious by renewed efforts in the cause of morals, wisdom, and

Christianity. Carlile's defence was all a falsehood. No man of common sense could believe him to have had any point in view beyond the guilty profit of his publications. The man was poor; he knew that money was to be made by the sale of moral poison; he looked for his gain to the ignorance and vice of the populace; and by administering what common experience would have told him was ruin to the peace, the honesty, and the happiness of this life.

Wednesday, Nov. 17.

Heury Swann, esq. was brought up to receive judgment; having been convicted at the last Spring Assizes for Cornwall, of corruptly bribing one Peter Jenkins, by promising to give up, and giving him up, a promissory note for 201. made by him payable to defendant, and a bank note for 17. in consideration of his voting as a freeman on defendant's behalf at the last General Election for the borough of Penryn, for which the latter was a candidate to serve in Parliament. The prosecution was at the instance of the House of Commons. Mr. Justice Bayley said, the defendant's offence was aggravated by the station he held in life, as a Magistrate, a Gentleman of the Bar, and a person who had for a considerable period served his country in Parliament. The sentence of the Court upon him was-That he be imprisoned in the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea of that Court for the space of

ONE YEAR.

During the long vacation, Lincoln's Inn Hall has been most elegantly and commodiously improved. The Hall is now ten feet longer than formerly, and the seats are covered with fine crimson cloth, instead of the green baize which used to be formerly on them. Hogarth's celebrated painting of "Paul before Felix," which was at the upper end of the Hall, is cleaned, and the frame fresh gilt, which gives it a fine appearance. In short, from the alterations and splendid improvements which have been made, this Hall may now be considered one of the most elegant, commodious, and finest in the kingdom.

Sir Francis Burdett has received notice, that the Attorney-General has filed an ex-officio information against him for the "Letter to the Electors of Westminster" on the subject of the Manchester business.
