THE LATE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE. , NVe have, for a dreary period of fourteen days, 1-'ned with all our cotemporaries in recording the particulars of that great visitation wlnEh it has pleased p an twascE to send upon our country, the death of her Royal Htghness the Princess CHARLOTTZ. We j. have followed, with an anxious eye, the remains of our beloved PPINCEiS to the grave, and we have now little more to do, in the discharge of this part of our sad duty, but. to collect some scattered notices, and add a few slight details to our account of the last I mournful solemnity. Our more important task hence ' forth; will be to endeavour to extract from adversity its sweet uses," tO turn our lois to that good account which she for whOm we mourn would have most in tensely wished, to render the viotins a, propitiation— and toconvert bitter disappointment into* salutary cot.- mac t inn. In all the provincial toramsfrerm which accounts ; .have yet,teached us, the same solemn indleitiohs of grief and respect for the departed hope pf BSitatts,ihat have been so honourable to the metropolis, prevailed to the utmost extent.

" WINDSOR, Thursday Morning. "Tea CAIITLS Yssn-.Upwards 01400 of the Foot Guards lined the paths leading to the porch of the Chapel, in single files, and every fourth man held a flambeau. There were 330 used on this occasion.— General Bocrom bad the command of the infantry. At. ninco'clockk precisely the gates were thrown open, and the proiession moved on in the following order : A Guard of Honour, consisting of 50 men of the Horse.guards, took their station in the open cause way opposite cue portico I nine of the trumpeters followed in state liveries. The pages of the Royal Household, and the establishments of their MAJalp Tills, the Pao= RIOINT. and Prince LIIOIPOLD, walked to the Chapel door, most of them holding a flambeau. The hoarse was dra . wn by eight of the King's black horses, escorted by a detachment of the 10th- Royal Hussars. The next carriage, with six horses, was the Princess AuGusTa's, containing Prince L zorom, Dukes of YORK and CLASS: Mitt mourners. ig The second was the private carriage of hii Se rene .Highness, closed up. The third, fourth. and 4ftb,-were the carriages of the Petecz REGENT j the sixth and seventh were those of the Duke of YORK .11110 eighth was that of the Duke of Sussex; the ninth was the Duke of CDSUSERLAND . S ; and the tenth, the ' Duke of Gi.ouesersa's. 'Each of them were drawn braht horses; the Coachmen in full State liveries, 4 14Urhat-bands. Another detaelimerst of •50 of the AsterstGuards closed the procession. With the es. , • of the first carriage, with his Serene Highness Print, Lzoitow, and the Dukes of YORE and CEA nowt, the rest moved in the procession with the win dow blinds closed. The corpse being conveyed into the Chapel, a line was formed three deep by the mi litary, and the procession moved along the west chancel, up the centre aisle, into the choir. Upon their entrance, the body was placed on is platform in the centre of the choir, near the entrance to the vault. His Serene Highness Prince LEOPOLD as Chief Mour. ner, sat in a chair at the head of the corpse, and their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of YORK ; CLARENCEr SUSSEX; CUSIBERLAND, and GLOUCESTER, his sup. porters, in chairs on each side. The Knights "of the Garter, wearing their ribbands and stars, were seated' in thttr respective stalls. The Ministers of State, Officers of the Household, and all coaneeted with the procession, were iecommodated in the body of the Choir, to which part no other persons were, admitted. " -The solemnity of the scene was opened from Dr. Caere and Pirecox's Burial Service, jointly, by Mr. Serros, at the organ; after which, the 89th and 90th Psalms were chaunted in a solemn manner, and with powerful effect. The Hon. and Rev. H. L. HODART, than of Windsor, read the Funeral Ser vice, in a most impressive manner, in the Sovereign's stall... Alter she first lesson, the favourite Anthem, Inposeld by Dr. Moser, from the 16th Pula, have set GOD always befcre me; for he is no my right hand, therefore I shall not tall'—was introduced iiith very impressivir effect, and song by the Gentle men and Boys of the Choir. At the chilli of this 'Anthem, the Reverend Dean left his stall, and pro-i ceeded to the vault, during which the second part of the Burial Service was performed by the Choir. The' remaining part of the prayers were then read by the MAW, at the close of which, the Deputy- Garter King of Arms proclaimed the style aod tide of her Royal Highness in the usual manner and form.— The Deputy Garter was so affected in performing this last sad duty, that his voice faultered, and it was impossible to hear this part of dr* ceremony. At this momentous period, the attention of the whole of the auditors in the choir and chancel loft was direct ed- towards Prioce'LltOPOl.D. His Serene Highness became extremely agitated with the ceremony, and immediately left the choir. The congregation de parted, whilst the orgau 'played the Dead March in Saul, by HANDEL. From the shortness of time for completing the preparations, the west chancel and the aisles of Saint George's Chapel were twit hung with black, and it. was only confined to the choir, which was covered with black cloth. . n As it was contrary to etiquette for Peers of the Realm to follow the corpse of a member of the Royal Family, the neat ih succession to the Crown, it was arranged, that all the applications of the No. kern apart of the funeral cermarpy should be e detlisted ; and for this reason, the earsiages of the Cdits?aet Ministers, Ambassadors, sad the Officers of the Hitasehold, proceeded so the north enemata of the Chapel. el In this distinguished assemblage to pay their last respect to ;he memory of the Psusessi CHAR.

None were admitted without tickets. From the immense concourse of spectators assembled in the Court-yard leading to the gates, it was imps.. bible for the military to restrain the eager curiosity of the populace. At seven o'clock it became neces sary to order an additional force to keep the passage clear (or carriages to drive with the company to St. George's Chapel. Several of the //skis:feral tribe 'endeavoured to play off their tricks, and in one or two instances we learnt that they succeeded in pick ing pockets during these momesitarr rushes. How 'Aver, the indefatigable exertions of Sir N. CoNANT, with the presence of TownEND and SAYER% a re treat among these gentry was soon sounded, and af terwards the most perfect decorum was observed. It was hallpast eight o'clock before the funeral caval cade left the L ,wee Lodge. It proceeded at a slow pace,•and at nine o'clock it entered the Castle-yard, as before described. • " During the day the great number of carriages 1 1 moving in all directions with persons attached to the proffssion, and families arriving to procure sitcommodation, together with the influx of visitors pour ing in from all quarters, presented a most indescri bable scene. The eagerness to view the procession at night surpassed any thing ever experienced at Windsor. in the line of the mournful cavalcade, the Town hall, the Church-yard, and in short, the tops, Valoonies, and front windows of every house, exhi bited almost one solid body of people, connected with the immensa concourse on the pavements. From I the judicious measures of precaution adopted, we are happy to state, that we did not hear of one acci dent pp to a late boot last night." " CAMDIUDGE. NOVEMBIR 19. _ .

The Bacheion of Arts and Under Graduates (in number about 1,100) had previously occupied the galleries appropriated to them. “ On the entrance of the Procession a Funeral Dirge commenced, which was succeeded by the heartfelt an/ appropriate Anthem—“ I know that my Redeemer liveth."

" At the College Chapel, after the morning ser vice, the Rev. C. &Amnon ascended the Pulp 4 and delivered one of the most feeling, impressive and eloquent Sermons we have ever heard. The Anthen was then sung by Sir Jorns STevensos, Messrs JAGER, SMITH, MATHEWS, and Willi" in a style of inconceivable sweetness and melody. The music is from HANDEL': Messiah; the words from Scripture. " At the Cathedral, Christ Church, the usual Ser. eke having been gone through, the Rev. Mr. D 11.
