ie olil7 desk and clerk's desk were plain, but the •r tins round the :riles, as well as the decorations ! ~,. pu lpit. were in the colour of mourning.

The pulpit, and the reading clerks desks, were m pletely enveloped in black cloth, as were the , „„ i ng board and the balusters of the pipit stairs. S• e phen's, Walbrook, was peculiarly striking. A P Esc-..the-n, with the Arms of the departed p loc ui, and of her illustrious Consort, ocettpying t he endue front of the pulpit, kept the attention fixed ea the intereting subject of the mournful occasion ; v aae the other ormtments of the edifice expressed a ton ed grave si:npl.city, in unison with the sensations pod sentiment ei the day. • • T i e Church of St. George, Bl•.ornsbury, exhibited, in a s imilar Style, the sane affecting features of so kmnity and sv.e. No e.pense seems to have been sparvii in producing these effects. The pulpits, desks, Ind comm a:ton table, were covered with black cloth; . a d the cushions and draperies at the front galleries „s ti p i t e same; while; on the front of the pulpit, was .'age and very handsome escutcheon, containing, in the other instances, the family arms of her late RUYAL HIGIINXSS and of Prince LWPoLD, richly cm. Mt zoned on white sago. These mournful tokens of sorrow were not confined o the Metropolis; the Churches •of Paddington, Hempstead, Highgate, Islington, the Asylum, Scc.&c. s.:te all in unison with the public feeling ; and all le discourses, there as well as elsewhere, were directed to the best improvement of the mournful occasion. ht the Asylum, the Rev. Mr. WHITE preached from i,, c ;nth chap. of Job, and the .12th verse—" Behold, 4 4 • takah away; who can hinder him ? who will ray unto Lill, what doer: thou ;''' —a most appropriate text, and ,;u: which he illustrated with even more than his umial eloquence and pathos. At Paddington, the Rte.

This clay the PRINCE Itenenr, accompanied by the Duke and Duchebs of GLouceslert, set out for tht Node at Brighton, where their Royal •Highnesses will remain for some time. A Mail from Flanders has brought us to-day the Brussels Papers to the 15th instant. Their Royal Highnesses the Pnisce and Putmcvss of ORANGE are stated to have been most profoundly affected by the intelligence of the FutNees. CHARLOTTE'S death. AN order was immediately issued for the Court going into mourning, to commence on the 13th, and last for tour weeks. The letters received in Brussels from Landon, are said to mention that, on the 7th a courier was dis patched to Italp, to carry to the Mother of the PitIN CESS CHatturrrE the details of her premature death. A Hamburgh Mail has also arrived to-day. The news of the death of the Pittsms CHARLOTTE was received in Hamburgh on the 10th instant, and excited in the numerous English resident there, the same heart-struckgriet with which it has overwhelmed their countrymen at home. The Piris Papers of Thursday and Friday have arrived since our last. As the intelligence of the death of our beloved PRINCESS has spread throughout France, it has con- , tinued every where to excite the liveliest sympathy in our affliction. All the English vessels in the dif- Great French ports have lowered their colours; and wherever an Englishman is to be seen, his sable gar ments and downcast looks n anifest his lull partici pation iu the slier which shrouds his native home.— Letters from the Grand dead-quarters at Cambray say, that, on the news arrieing there, it spread uni versal grief and dismay in the English army. Thy Generals, the ofEcers of all ranks, the private soldiers, were seen to shed tears of affliction when they were - informed of the sad event: What • faneral. oration' caiild be more affecting ? The Quoddienne, recurring to the melancholy topic, PeYs the following jut tribute to the leeliagsvhich the British people have nunifested on this occasion : 4 ,, The legitimate succession to the throne is a fun damenial principle of social order : every citizen feels chat the repose, the liberty, the laws of the State, are depend4nt upon it. All that concerns it h4s there fore the strongest interest M exciting either our joy or our grief. The births or marriages of Princes are occasions of national rejoicing—their deaths, of na tional mourning. A reigning family is the family of the State ; it is more—it is that of every citizen of she State, and in which the first wishes of every dil -1 zen are centered: " In France this truth is alsfays expressed with that grace and feeling which form the leading and most amiable traits of our national character. The Royal Ho.ise is called the House of France, the progeny of our Kings, the Children of France.—appellations nut more full of tenderness, than expressive of one of the Most sacred of political principles. a England offers us at this moment the spectacle of a people deeply penetrated with these Winer/ sentiments $ the universal grief which the death of the Princess Cuant.orre has excited among then] is a striking example to present to those unquiet, tur bulent, phlegmatic spirits, who would maintain that persons are nothing, and things alone worthy of regard. The friends of humanity and Of patriotism. reason otherwise, and, independently of the sacred character which Princes have in their eyes, they be hold in them the safeguards of the people, and the surest guarantees of their institutions. " The English Journals are filled with tonchiog laments inspired by their feeling of the loss which I the country has suffered. Gone, they say, is the rue and the hope of our Entnire—thus happily uniting in one phrase those affections which spring from a pa. triotic source, std those which are inspired by the spectacle of youth and beauty, blighted in a manner most cruel sod unexpected. Other motives.of regret they find in the religious sentiments of the Pa:Ncess, in the details of her private hie, in the love and respect which she bore for her husband. Happy the' , people who appreciate such virtues in their Princes !" The Duke of ANGOULEMS has 'twined from his' maritime tour. He arrived in Paris on Thursday night. The Chamber of Deputies met on Thursday, when . ' M. LAZNE delivered a message from the KING, no. minating M.
