THE KING.—His Majesty came to town on Monday, for the
purpose of holding a Privy Council, in order to issue the necessary proclamation for the meeting of Parliament, which had been agreed on at the Cabinet meeting of Saturday. 'Lord Grey's health is said at present to require nursing; which was perhaps the cause why the Council was held in town rather than at Brighton. His Majesty returned to Brighton as soon as the Council was over. It is understood that his Majesty will open the Parliament in person ; and .that he will come to town on Monday the 5th. The Queen will accompany her royal lord. Her Majesty had been slightly indisposed ; at least we see it-stated that she is better' and from that circumstance infer that she has not been so well as her affectionate- fellow-subjects wish her to be. It was Lord Brougham who was deputed to communicate to his Majesty the result of Saturday's deliberations ; his Lordship went to Brighton on Sunday for that purpose, and afterwards dined at the Pavilion.
MEETING OP PARLIANENT.—The following circular respecting the approaching meeting of Parliament has been forwarded to the members
of the House of Commons,
" Downing Street, November 22, " Str—As farliametitis to rneetlieribedespateli fof business on the 6th of Decent. ber, I take the liberty of requesting your attendance. " I feel that after the very long and fatiguing session which has so lately concluded, the calling upon the supporters of the Reform Bill so soon to resume their labours Is pressing rather severely on their zeal, but I hope the importance of the occasion will he admitted as a full justifim'ion for the call thus made upon them. I need not impress upon you the necessity of a foil attendance, and I hope and trust, therefore, you will be Food enough to appear in your place at the meeting of Parliament.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " ALT/1011P."
It is now confidently asserted, that as soon as the Reform Bills are passed in the Lower House, a sufficient number of their stanch supporters there will pass along with them, in order to carry them through the
Upper.—Sic fiat. ••
