Elie Court.
THE King arrived in London on Monday about two o'clock ; when he held a Court, and afterwards a Council, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Recorder. Two of the miserable wretches at pre- sent under sentence of death were ordered to be executed on Monday: Barrett, the Post-office thief, is one of the number. His Majesty also pricked the Sheriffs for the year; and Sir John Cam Hobhouse and Mr. Tennyson were sworn in as Privy Councillors. The proclama- tions for the national fasts in England and Scotland were also agreed upon, and ordered to be issued. In the evening, his Majesty returned to Brighton. The usual regulations for the approaching Levee on the 2-2nd instant appear in the Gazette of last night. At the Drawing- room on the '24th, no presentations will take place ; and all the ladies who attend are expected to wear dresses of British manufacture. Directions for a form of prayer to be used in all the churches on the subject of Cholera, agreed on at the Council on Monday, also ap- pear in the Gazette.
