Sir Henry Halford left town on Fiiday night, imme. after the decease of his Royal Highness, for the of communicating the melancholy intelligence Majesty. The alicting news was communicated Princets Sophia by their Royal Highnesses the Le of Sussex and the Duckess of Kent. The great bell of St. Paul's Cathedral, which is never except for the various branches of the Ley al Fa. the Archbishop of Canterbury, or the Rishop of , was tolled on Saturday morning, at half-mi . time, from eight o'clock till nine. Kensington Pa ce, Gloucester House, Apsley House,and the residences .f most of the Nobility, had their windows closed on •turjay, and the shops in the City, as well as at the • End of the town, were also partially closed. r.M Ash, the Comptroller of the Lord Chamberlain's , left town early on Saturday morning for Wind in ordet to receive his Majesty's commands con ' the arrangements connected with the demise of fal Brother. The lollowing statement is published from authotity. nog the origin and ;nog' ess of the disorder whiditr .mated the life of his Royal Highness: His Royal Highness had labouted under a dropsy • the month of July last, for the relief of which his Highness underwent an operation on the 3d of result of this operation, aided by the favourable medicine afterwards, was the removal of the .tional complaint; but its partial influence on the , producing a mortification of a considerable por of the shin of both legs, subsequently brought his Highness's valuable life into danger; and although was checked, and hung in suspense for a time, the -s of his frame sunk ultimately in the struggle. His Royal Highness was informed earlykthat his was not free from danger ; yet he borehis pro. , illness with a stoutness of heart, an evenness of ' pious resignation to thewill of hisCazexon, nevertheless, with a solicitude about his which were very remarkable; and, as his not affected by his disease, he continued to all the duties of his high office of Commander with his usual punctuality and quickness.— aniong the last acts of his official life was that went for the bent fit of the Old Lieutenants, who afford to purchase, which had for some time his attention, and which was laid before the ig, by his express desire, for his Majesty's approba , the day before he took leave of worldly affairs, as were, and received the Sacrament from the Bishop London. The same unclouded state of his intellects admitted cis reading the newspapers constantly, and of feeling :crested in all that was going on ; so that, as his ma - advanced, had the fears of his medical attendants expressed in daily bulletins of his health, as in truth must have been, this intelligence would have re m upon him with a fatal force, by destroying those sanguine hopes of recovery which contributed. so es sentially to the efforts of art to do him good; and would have precipitated the sad event which we all now de plore. It is this consideration alone that explains and justifies the silence of the Physicians on the subject of the Royal Duke's health—a regular statement of which would have been fairly demanded, under other circum stances, by the zealous and affectionate attachment of a loyal people to the Presumptive Heir of the Throne. Two other medical statements, to the following effect, have also been published: " Of the actual character and progress of the disease which has terminated in the death of the Duke of York, very little is known officially, or on authority on which implicit confidence can be placed. A circumstance which has excited considerable surprise and speculation among medical circles especially, is the fact that bul letins have not been published from time to time to in dicate the symptoms and stages of his disorder. In the case of so exalted a Personage, the circumstance is very unusual. It has, indeed, been stated as from official authority, that this has been done at the special desire of his Royal Highness; it is, however, suggested, and in many quarters thought by no means improbable, that subsequently to Sir A. Cooper being called in, some dif ferences of opinion may have existed, among the medi cal attendants of his Royal Highness, of such a nature as to render it difficult for them to agree upon the terms of a bulletin. FroTh the extreme obesity of the Duke, there was a heavy pressure upon the inner part of the thigh, which greatly impeded the circulation of the blood. To counteract this, Sir Astley Cooper ordered the lower extremities to be raised very considerably, by which the circulation was in some degree restored, the tendency to venous congestion checked, and the symp toms of the disease, and the sufferin;s of the Royal patient considerably mitigated for a time. Although the disease was local, the causes of it were doubtless constitutional ; and, in fact, so completely were the vital functions withered, that, after the commencement of the mortification, no efforts of medical skill could pro duce the smallest appearance of suppuration. It is ge nerally understood among the medical profession, that tubercles had formed on the liver of the Royal patient.' Another Medical Gentleman says—" The lungs and head, and probably the bean of his Royal Highness. were greatly diseased. The dropsy in his extremities was merely an effect of the disordered state of the vital functions. The fluid was let off by artificial means, and the puncture which it was necessary to make in his foot for this purpose never healed up ; no subsequent operation was necessary, as the fluid continued to drain off through these punctures. From the general consti tutional disorders of his Royal Highness, these punc tures never exhibited any healthy appearance, but con tinued to enlarge and slough away. They were a source of the greatest agony to his Royal Highness. He graduilly grew weaker and weaker, his bodily and mental faculties decaying together, till nature nas exhausted, when he went off without a struggle." Saturday morning orders were issued for the suspen sion of the usual labours in the erection of the new Pa lace, in St. James's Park, for the late Duke of York; and also in that building for the Duke and Duchess of Clarence. Mr. Mash, of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, pro ceeded, at an early hour on Saturday morning, to Wind sor, to take his Majesty's commands respecting tl.e four. rid. Mr. Mash returned to London soon after five o'clock, but the King's commands did nut transpire, though it was stated that the remains ache Royal Duki are to lay in state, in the King's Palace, St. Jamei's, two days, namely, Thursday and Friday next (the 18th And 19th instant); and on the following day the body is to be removed to Windsor, to be interred in the Royal vault.

The King's Gentleman Usher in Waiting attended, and presented three boxes of gold, frankincense and myrrh at the altar. The Court Mourning, on this melancholy occasion, will take place forthwith. and will, probably; extend to a period of six weeks. On the death of the Princess Charlotte, the Mourning was as follows: " The Ladies to wear black bombaaine, plain muslin, or long lawn crape hoods, shamoy shots and gloves, and crape fans. Un dress, dark Norwich crape. " The Gentlemen to wear black cloth, without buttons on the sleeves or pocket plain plain muslin or long lawn cravats and weeper., shamoy shoes and gloves, crape hat-bands, and black swords and buckles. Undress, dark grey frocks." The Officers of the Army will, of course, wear crape tosind their left arms. The windows of the Mansion•house were all closed on Saturday, in consequence of the deAth of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Announcement of which melancholy event was received by the Lord Mayor at a quarter before eleven o'clock onEriday; night, by a let ter from Mr. Secretary Peel, of which the following is a Copy : " Whitehall, .1 411 .508 r ,, Quarter past Teo,y.sa. "Mr Loan—lt is with the deepest concern that I convey to your Lordship the melancholy intelligence that his Royal Highness the Duke of York expired this night at 20 minutes past nine &dock. " I have to request that your Lordship will give the directions usual on such occasions for the tolling of the great bell of St. Paul's Cathedral. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obe. diem humbk aervant, (Signed) " ROBERT PEEL." Addressed " Immediate. To the Right Hoo. the Lord Mayor." The Lord Mayor immediately sent his orders to the Vergers of St. Paul's, to execute the request of the Right Hon. Secretary; but in consequence of the late. nets of the hour, and one of the persons in authority residing a short distance out of town, the bell was not tolled until eight o'clock on Saturday morning. The Lord Mayor issued his precepts for convening a Court of Aldermen and a Court of Common 'Council, to consider the propriety of presenting Addresses of Condolence to his Most Gracious nrjesty on the me lancholy occasion. At the conclusion of the routine btisiness of the day, the Lord Mayor proceeded to St. James's Palace, to leave his condolatory card at the residence of his I Majesty. The Lord Mayor, in the course of the morning, re marked, that he was much gratified at the respect which the Citizens generally had paid to the departed Prince, for nearly every shop window in the City was IPartial closed, having at least one shutter up. " Now I know that I am dying," were the last words uttered by the Duke of York. Throughout his long illness, notwithstanding the serious nature of his dis- ease, the severe sufferings he underwent, and the rapid wasting away of his person, he never seemed t• have the least idea that his illness would terminate fatally, until the morning of the day on which he died. He did not even relinquish his habits of business until a very few days before his death, but continued to receive the official reports of his Secretaries, as punctually as when he attended at the office in the Horse Guards; and all his remarks :hewed that he fully expected to recover. But early on the morning of that day which was to terminate his existence in this world, he beckoned his immediate attendants (Sir Herbert Taylor and Colonel Stevenson, we believe,) to the side of his couch, and faintly said, 0 Now I knew that I am dying !"—and he never spoke again. It was, however, very evident that he retained his memory many hours afterward.; for when his Royal brothers, the Mikes of Clarence and Sussex, entered his apartment, he &hewed that he was conscious of their presence; and when the hour arrived at which he had been accustomed to receive some surgical attentions, be pointed to the clock, to remind 'hose about him that it was time that duty was performed. It was performed immediately, of course; and then he gradually sunk iu,to a state of total insensibility, and so continued until he died. His Royal Highness's Tory active habits—his early rising, and his strict attention to the duties of his office, have long been generally known; but when the public, judging from those habits, and his robust appearance, supposed him to be in the enjoyment of perfect health, he was suffering much pain, and was every moment in danger of sudden dissolution. For mole than four years past, his Royal Highness has been labouring under a spasmodic aff. ction, of such a nature that he could not lie down, but at the imminent risk of his life; and from the commencement of that attack, four years ago, he never retired to rest without a supply of anti spasmodic medicines by his bedside, so placed as to be at hand on the instant. Latterly, for many months before his last confinement, his Royal Highness never entered a bed at all, but slept in an easy chair. It is said that the preparations for the King's recep tion at Brighton were ordered in anticipation of the melancholy event which has just occurred; and that his Majesty will now remove thither, and remain until after the funeral. The disease which proved fatal to his Royal High: ness, it is now well ascertained, was that species of dropsy which is technically called Ascites. It bad been for a long period coming on, and at length it made its appearance an so formidable a shape as to excite consi derable alarm. His Majesty insisted upon Sir Astley Cooper being sent for. The worthy Baronet, after his very first visit, held an interview with the King, in which he stated that the disease had advanced to such a stage, and had produced so much debility, that no possible hopes of ultimate reco►ery could be held out. lie stated that the accumulation of water was so great, that it would be excessively difficult to keep it down, and that it was absolutely necessary to the relief of the Royal Patient that the inside of his legs should be punctured. This was accordingly done, and a quantity of serum was drawn off. In conjunction with this outward application, medicines were ordered to be taken internally. The following prescription was, w th some variety, principally adhered to in the course of treatment : It Dydrarg. Muriat. Mitie, gr. qoatuor. Soils polver, grins duotiecint. Fr. pitula quatuor t una sumrnda omni nocte. It Camphoric Sliu. uciam c. eernisese. Ammonia Carbon. gr. octo. /Ether. Nitro' Spirit. dtachrnam Digital. Tinctura gutt. U. M. ft. &mem mane sumendos. Although this treatment had a good effect in carrying away the serum by a natural channel, still the general _tbility went on by degrees, insomuch that in a very shot' time the feet began to exhibit the appearance at t ices of various Oeseriptioas, such, as the grounds of stale beer, the port wine, and the eionmein poultice were ap .pliid, but the gangrenous appearances diJ not give way. The medical attendants had therefore no hope of being able to do anything more than to keep the ulcers 'as clean as possible, and, as far as - they could, to ease t h e mind and body of t heir R o yal P a ti en t. • • .The wonder with all of them was, how his frame could have stood the wasting power of disease so long. They were, therefore, by no means surprised at the message which had been sent to them on. Friday of the threatening symptoms which had declared themselves on that day. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex arrived at Rutland House at nine o'clock in the morn ing, and remained until the Duke of You k expired.— His Royal Highness the Duke of 'Clarence was also in attendance during the greater part of the day. Tile ' Royal sufferer became insensible at an early hour, and remained in that state to the moment of his death. As soon as the fatal event took place, a messenger was dis patched to Windsor, to announce the melancholy tidings to his Majesty, who had been prepared for the news by a previous message, which bad been dispatched at four, o'clock, communicating an account of the rapid ap proach of death. The Lord Chamberlain, into whose custody the remains of Royalty devolved by office, had directed Mr. Mash to be in attendance: Mr. Bailey, the Royal undertaker•was sent for, when he was directed .to make immediate preparations fOr the conveyance of the body to its last asylum, at Windsor. On Saturday morning, a leaden coffin was sent to Mr. Bailey's, from the plumber to his late Royal Highness, for the purpose of being fitted to an exterior one, which is to be com posed of mahogany, and ornamented in the usual way. His Royal Highness was of a fair and sanguine com plexion, above the middle size, of a robust and vigorous constitution, which promised a long life. In his youth he was accounted handsome, but for many years before his death he was exceedingly corpulent, and his form had lost its symmetry. Great good nature was eipressed in his open countenance. It is known that his Royal Highness was diSpatched to Berlin to acquire military science, and that he had the advantage of the countenance of the Great Fred erick. The accounts transmitted to this country of his conduct and progress must have been satisfactory to his parents, for it was generally understood that he was pronounced by them " the hopes of the family." On the day when the King last visited the Duke, his Majesty took with hies some particular soup, of which he recollected the Duke to have formerly tasted with pleasure; the King, in his anxiety, personally handed some of'it to his Royal Brother, who appeared to be sensible of the attention, and slightly tasted of the once favourite soup. During the week, the Duke experienced a rod deal of pain, and Mr. M'Gregor was called. The Duke observed to this Gentleman---" M'Gregor, when is this pain to be at an end ?" Subsequently his Royal Highness's symptoms have become aggravated, and on Monday night the mortification had extended above the knee, and the action of the bladder had stopped. The Royal sufferer expressed to his Majesty great uneasiness on the score of his debts, and obtained from his Majesty a promise, that he would be pleased, in the event of his death, to see his creditors satisfied. This tended, in a great degree, to the comparative composure of his Royal Highness. • Totvardr the-Prince who succeeds him in the sums sioni we cannot breathe a more sincere wish, or urge a stronger recommendation, than that he should strive to rival his deceased brother in the affections of the people over whom he may eventually be caUed to reign : nor can that be more effectually done, than by displaying a similarly warm attachment to the interests, the welfare, and the honour of that service in which the Duke of Clarence passed his early life, as has so eminently dis tinguished the military career and ardour of the Duke of York. It !every remarkable that the moods of January should prove es unfortunate to the Royal family. Within seven years three of its family have died in t►at mouth. THE THEATRES. _-,,.._ The Theatres were all closed on Saturday; but his MAJILSTY, taking into consideration the distress to nu merous individuals which would necessarily be attendant upon their being shut for any length of time, has gra. ciously caused orders to be given, that they are to be further closed only on the two days of the body laying in state and the day on which the Funeral takes place. The Theatres will therefore be re-opened this evening. The following is a copy of the official notification upon this subject : " Lord Chantlberlain's Office, Jan. 6,1817. Sta--I ant authorised by the Lord Chamberlain to acquaint you, that the King taking into his beneficent consideration the very great distress which the shutting up the Theatres for any length of time would occasion to numerous families, his Majesty has been graciously pleased to command that the closing the Theatre under your management on account of the melancholy event of the demise of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, shall be confined to this evening, the two days of the Body laying in State, and the day of the Funeral, of which due notice will be given to you.—l am, Sir, ,our obedient servant, " J.
