Inahe 64th Tear of kb- Age. 'TOTE OFCONDOLENOE BY THE COMMON COUNCIL Yesterday, a Court of Common Council was holden at pursuant to requisition, for the purpose of en ing, by a resolution,. its deep sense of regret at the lamented death of his late Royal Highness the Duke York and Albany. The Court wis most numerously wended, it being the first that had been held since he election of, its present Members. The Lard id e fos presides!. His LoaDlititt , read the letter of the Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Peel) officially communicating the demise of his Royal Highness, and Abes red, that, however the Court might differ in opinion a minor matters, his Majesty did not reign over 0101, ruly loyal subjects than his faithful Quietist( Las t Jon; who took advantage of this, the first MOW= 111 which they could possibly meet, to express their profound , orn ow for the late melancholy event that deprived his .lajesty of an attached Brother, the Army of a beloved Commander,and the Public Institutions of the City and of sloe Country at large of one of their warmest sup- Afters. This they did in the los mof a Resolution, as. it was not usual to addles: the Crown so recently alms An event that could not be mentioned to his Majesty without occasioning painful feelings. The Court had other business to transact this day; but, as a mark of respect to his late Royal Highness, and the Royal Fa mily, I.e would suggest the propriety of seteredies k to the next Coot; day. Stich a practice was INNS on occasions like the present. The usual business transacted on the first Cant day was then formany suspended, ao the motion of Mr. S. Dixon and Mr. De ?sty Oldham. Mr. Deputy Ountem proposed the Resolution in verted in the first page. Hy the, death of his Royal Highness his Majesty was deprived of an affectionate Brother—the Public Institutions of a kind Patron— the Army of a most efficient Commander-in-Chief—and the City of London of one of its warmest and most eon descending friends. As a brother, his Royal Highness .tood high,perhaps the highest, io the affecuonate regard if the Royal Family, as the heartfelt solicitude and cordial attention of all its Members, during his pro, riacted illness, strikingly evinced. This, indeed, might naturally be expected, from bis conciliating manners, and from that unchangeable affability of temper for which his Royal Highness stood pre-eminent. Those amiable qualities endeared him to all—to the City of Loudon in particular—for his Royal Highness was iistinguished more than any other member . 01 the Royal Family, for his kindness to the Corporation. When his oealth permitted, he never failed to preside at the nume rous Public Charities, ti which he was a subscriber. They lately witnessed the kind interest betook in the prosperity 01 the Institution, while laying the foundatioo-stone ot- Christ's Hospital; and they also witnessed his condescen sion at the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the New London Bridge. He need not dwell upon his merits is Commander-in-Chief ; they were declared by the pie eat high condition of the British army—by its discipline —and by the attention that was paid to the comforts of the Officers and soldiers. His successor would have an arduous task to achieve, if he hoped to win the same uni eersal regard from those under him ; he hoped, however, se would imitate she conduct of his truly lamented pre fecessreor —(Cieers). Mr. Favitud. seconded the resolution with the great it satisfaction, not only on account of the manimou s and heartfelt manner in which it had been received, but from his cordial concurrence with the sentiments ex; gessed by its Hon. Mover. The unostentatious affability of his Royal Highness was above all praise, and it was evident on all public occasions that Ilrought the Mem. on: of the Court in contact with him. He (Mr. Favell) lappened to be near him when inspecting the proposed , improvements of Colonel Trench, and could bear tes. ' • any to the warm interest he took in, and the patient attention he paid to, all the Colonel's arguments and &notions. His Royal Highness was on that occasion attended by an Illustrious Lady, who, like him, had seen snatched away by death—the late Duchess of Rutland--and who participated in his anxiety for the proposed improvements. He need not dwell upon his loss to the British army ; that was too sell known to tequire any comment. Alderman WAITHMIAN wished to bear testimony to the judicious manner in which the resolution was worded, and to the discreet and apposite observations of both the moves and seconder, with which he fully con curred.. It was a greatsatisfaction to him, on occasions likr the present, to witness the unanimity of feeling which was so desirable, and to be called on to listen to no observation which did not meet his and the Court's fullest approbation. It was twist grateful to him to bear testimony to these things, and also to concur, as he did, most cordially with the Resolution. The Resolution was-then unanimously agreed to, and ordered to be advertised.—The Curt then adjourned. The following Address was unanimously adopted by a General Vestry of the Parish of St. Olave, Southwist k, convened by public notice, on Wednesday last: 6 We, your Majesty's loyal subjects, Ike. la. beg to lay at your Majesty's feet the dutiful expression of our condolence, on the la mented decease of his Royal Highness the Duke of York.

George's, Billings- gate, the Lord Mayor Elect's Ward, it was moved by Mr. Jonw SALMON, the Churchwarden "Thatio evince a respect for the memory of his late Royal Highness the Doke of York, a Hatchment should be immediately placed over the Church door, the expense to be tiu frayed by Ike Churehwuders." The Light Horse Volunteers and Artillery Cornpaay have, with a feeling which reflect the highest credit on them, respectfully tendered their services to pay the last 'tribute of respect to the remains of a lamented and be loved Prince. Yesterday being appointed for the commencement of the general mourning for his late Royal Highness, we observed a very considerable proportion indeed of those who appeared in the streets in black clothes. In the memorable year 1803, the military spirit or the country had risen to the very highest pitch of en tbnaiasm;—voluntary associations were everywhere formed ; the highest and the lowest met together in equal rank for the defence of the State; the Doke of Clarence did not disdain to enrol himself as a private in the Teddington Volunteers; and his late Majesty de clared that in case of invasion it would be his duty to set an example in ,defence of every thing that was dear to bins. It was under these circumstances that the Prince of Wales, vho was now merely Colonel of the 10th Light Dragoons, solicited from his. Majestyand from Ministers a military appointment that would enable him, by engaging in active service, to set an example to the country. " I ask to be allowed," said he; " to display the best energies of my character ; to shd the last drop of my blood in support of your Ma jesty's person, crown, and dignity; fur this is not a war for empire, glory, or dominion, but for existence. In this contest the lowest and humblest of your Majesty's subjects have been called on; it would therefore little becomease,who:am the first, and who stand at the very footstool of the throne, to remain a tame, idle, and life less spectator of the mischiefs which threaten us, un conscious of the danger; which surround us, and indif ferent to the consequences which may follow." The applications to the King, and the Ministers were followed up by his Royal Highness in a letter to the Duke of York, in which 'his Royal Highness takes occasion to remonstrate against the omission of his name. in the extensive list of military promotions which had just then been made. This letter is dated from Brighton, 2d October, 1803. The Prince then proceeds to remind his brother of his standing in the army; after which he ays--. , 1 hope you know me too well to imagine that idle, inactive rank is in my view ; much less is the direction and patronage of the military departments an object which suits my place in the State, or my inclinations ; but, in a moment when the danger of the country is thought by Government so urges* as to call forth the energy of every man in its do. fence, I cannot but feel myself degraded, both as Prince and as a soldier, if I am not allowed to take a lorwasd and distinguished part in the defence of that. empire and crown, of the glory and prosperity, and even existence, of that people, in all which mine is the great est stake." "It is for the sake of tendering," he after wards adds, " my services in a way more formal and official than I have before pursued, thOt I address this to you, my dear Brother, as the Commander-in-Chief, by whose councils the Constitution presumes that the military department is administered." The Duke of Yorkimmediately replied to this letter, addressing his Royal Highness as " Dearest brother." The Royal Duke then pleads bis Majesty's solemp injunctions to him not to mention the subject to him, as a reason for not complying with the Prince of Wales's request. "I trust," he says, " that you are too well aestuainted with my affection for you, which has existed since our most tender years, not to be assured of the satisfaction I have felt, and ever must feel in forwarding, when in my power, eveiy desire or object of yours." After seve ral explanatory letters had passed between these parties, the Duke of. York says, that now finding out his brother's object to be the allotment of some post suit able to the meaent emergency to his siteation in the " State, he is still precluded horn complying with his wishes. " This," he says, I conceive to be purely a ' *ideal consideration, and, as such, totally out of my departfneut; and as I have most carefully avoided, at ' all times, and under all circumstances, ever interfering in any po litical: points, I must hope that you will not call upon me to deviate from the principles by which I have been invariably governed." He subscribes him self in these terms: " Believe me, my dear brother, your most affectionate brother, " FREDERICK." CHELTBNHAM. A deep gloom pervades this waterlog place, in cease- et the lamented death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Ve r t i rk i .. ce The inhabitants and visitors of the town are universaily in mourning. Most of the private parties are put off; and though the town is rarely so fell of Fashionable' at this season, the King's Old Well, and the Montpellier Spa are but very thinly attended. , nor is it expected they will be otherwise tiU after the Funeral of his late Royal Highness. The great bell at the Church was muffled, previous to its bging rung for Divine Service on Sunday last. PLYMOUTH, Jaistraar 11. Sunday afternoon official intelligence of the death of.his Royal Highness the Duke of York was received in this town, and order's were immedistely issued to the garrison, for suspend ing the usual tattoo and reveille. In the course of his sermon, in St. Andrew's Church,l dm that evening, the Rev. Mr. Hotehard, the Vicar, made a very feeling and appropriate allusion to the melancholy event, and immediately atter the conclusion of the service, the great hell of that Church commenced tuning !he funeral knell,which has been Con. timed every day since. from twelve at imoe to one, and front eight to nine in the evening.

DRURY-LANE,THEATRE. Mr. KEAN'S representation of the character of Welk, which is justly esteemed his masterpiece, last night attracted a very crowded audience. He played exceed ingly well; we have rarely•known him to exhibit a finer spirit of discrimination. He described, in a manner powerfully affecting, the various gradations of passion by which the mind of Othello is assailed, from the mo ment when he first imbibes the poison of jealousy, to that in which the passion, having overturned all the cool reasoning faculties, excites to murder. The utter nselancholy—the entire prostration of mind, under the consciousness of having acted weakly and foolishly,.,— was expressed by Mr. Naas, in the latter scenes, with a depth of feeling which strongly excited the sympathy of the audience. The whole of his performance was received with the strongest manifestations of applause. Mr. WALLACE supported the part of .1!tio fairly. Mr. Coorues Cassie was very good. Mrs. W. WEST'S Des• demena deserves praise for its delicacy, and Mrs. cuss's Emilia for its force and power. .~.~.:_ BETTING-ZOOM, TA,TTERSA .I.ik 11. betting was Me yesterday afternoon, and a considerable gegen ftuperitat.
