ifivreeiut.-ly opening a Sdhscription for the sup r of the Fever Instituti n. '.lr ?alloy, one of the East India Directors, in ccAlthng the motion, rernarked, that he did not cols .!.r •.1 r benefit afforded by the Fever institution to :I to the House of Recovery ; that benefit vi hi. opinion, to sill ranks of society. His ?! t n: a y had been saved from the d angrr of con n hp the pr mitt iemoval of a servant in a fever ilie If use of Recovery. He sensibly felt the ad , .I,Ci of An Institution, as on a former occasion, ••• 4 ft ver had been introduced-into tiis family, he fq...t two children. The facility with which the ov.il was rn,:de by the Saciety was a great means • Amy, riot only to the poor ; there were apartments the -I(isee el Recovery, into which persons of , )e er eon might wit') propriety be rem , ved; eco hesed teat, were he himself ti be seized vat o-ver, he would prefer going to the House of e very rather ;Ilan staying at home with the risk ff ing conta::,inn through his family. He was p form the i4e.ting, that the Court of Di. le.. r. • 1 the East India Company were so Impressed wth the teeny of a Fever lastitutioe, that they IHd }Cit. day resolved to subscribe 100 guineas towards ii—(much altltirnme). Many of the labourers of the Compiwy resided in those close and badly ventilated quarters of the town which increased the li ibility (.1 the ieb.lbitents to eontacion. 'rite Directors, there. tore, felt it their duty to give support to the Society, he hoped the example would encourage oilier eublic bodies to come forward in the same manner. Tile predisposition to typhus fever, he believed, arose . . :1 from low living, occasioned by ifistress of the times I. cusii .1 it a therefore be ear.' to step all at once ; and this consideration rest it tiighli imeortant that the Society should eitablid t- extend its precautionary and berieficent u L I A h tar a; possible. Sir •I'llintlAb BELL. alter a few words in approba. s. the object of the Fever Institution, moved m tri• riats b. , presented to the several public nipanies of the C ty of London, entreating done.. a.. 1. behalf et the Institution. Dr. laeltexoe seconded the Resolution. He . t.t , tuat as a medical mat. he had no doubt of the pi . ..valence tit typhus fever. In Sr. Giles's pa ..th lie had seen seven persons dead of it in one house. I:tie most effectual cure which he had wen for this •:io.rder was common yeast and porter. He had also ti,, , .w0 the mint eff ...id , preventive against the in recoon, by tile:ligation with common salt and vitriol. ['here was elo:her most exsellent preventive ayainst fection, which had been discoveted fifty years ago, ny Celia Orloff, i lime well known in this country. reie remedy ronsiaed in putting a little sulphur and :ortimen nice on a red-hot shovel, and causing a fu migation. TI e Empress Catherine of Russia made !La of this method by causing 12 condemned pri sobers to he fumigated with it and then sending them into a lazaretto where persons were sick with the islague. She caused them to lie along with the dead b dies, and to put on the clothes which they had worts while ill. The result was, that not one of tl.e tsselve was afterwards affected. He himself had not ' the least doubt of the efficacy of this preventive, and he hoped it would not only lead to the eradication of typhus fever in London, but would tend eventually to tl.e, destruction of the plague itself at no very dis tant period. h - Mr. PAYNE, in an explanation respecting the funds of the Society, stated, that their expenses had so much increased daring the last year, that they had been obliged to trespass or their capital. The er ' !lenses of the last six mouths had doubled the whole of their mutual income. He concluded by moving that application be made to the several parishes within the bills of mortality through vestry meetings, pray ing for support to the Institution. Mr Alderman Mitch stated his opinion of the nee cesssity of opening the narrow -alleys of the City of London. Venelation was a means of securing the iierrlth of the metropolis, which - his brethren of the GorporAien ought never to lose sight of. It was stated by a circular that 331 cases of typhus had been admitted into the House of Recovery with in the last six months. ' The LORD MAYOR read a letter form the elder ; Brethren of the 'Trinity-house, enclosing a donation of 100 guineas for the Society. Sir C Feowsit moved clie Thanks of the Meeting to the Directors of the EWA India Company, and die arembren of the Trinity-house, for their donations, which were agreed to. Thanks were then voted to the Lord Mayor, for conduct in the Chair, and attention to the interests of the Siciety ; after which the Meeting dispersed. ' THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

The Psalms and Lessons were appropriate to the melan. choly occasion, viz.—The Psalms 39 and 90; Les sons, s') chap. Ecclesiasticus, and 1.5 chap. Ist Epic. tie to Corint tians. The organ was not played; the singers sang fore's Ode— " Voal +park of bravenly flame, " Quit--010, qua this mortal fratur! ' " It had such an effect on die feelings of the con gregation, that several were cArried out of the church. Tile Reverend Divine took his test from Hosea vi. lit, 2J, and 3.1 verses: " Conic and hit us worn u:.O the Loan; for he bath torn , and he will heal us, he halt smitten, and be will bind us up, and we ►hall live in his bight.

" He delivered a most eloquent discourse : there was the most numerous congregation ever seen in the trrrnnry 'of the oldest inhabitants—Dissenters of all desciiptions, even (Makers, every one was ready t•► pay their last tribute to one that was so dear to them. At s's o'clock the bell began, and continued tolling, muffled as before, until eleven, and the day altoge ther was observed with every solemnity—the Sabbath could not be kept more sacrei. " At Lug; Dittnn, the Key. Baym: Bunt:alms delivered a very excellent discourse. His little church was crowded with his parishioners, and the respectable part of the inhabitants of Thames Ditton." H itICHMOND, NOVEMIIER in. " The parish of Richmond, in Surrey, paid parti. cular attention to the sorrowful solemnities of Wed. nesday. The church (in which ha MAJLSTY holds a pew) was hung in sable : the deskr, pulpit, com munion table, organ gallery, the pillars supporting the r• 01, and also the Qt.:Lines pew, were clothed with supetfine cloth, and decorated with escutcheons bearing the Arms of the lamented Patscess, and her universally-commiserated surviving Consort. Divine Service was performed in the morning, and at seven in the evening, and attended by all the respectable families and inhabitants. The evening service was.; so crowded, that many were obliged to depart, not being able to procure even standing room." " OXFORD, NOVEMBER 2L _ 64 Wednesday afternoon Divine Service was an nounced by muffled bells, and performed at the usual time in Magdalen College Chapel. It opened with the appropriate Anthem by Dr. Croft—t , lam the Resit: rection and the Life." The Psalms read in the Burial Service were sung to Purcell's solemn chaunt. The Lessons selected were the 14th of Job, and St. P..ui's Ist Epistle to the Corinthians, chap. xe• horn verse 20. Previous to the Anthem Loll% let me know mine end," Pay Dr. Green. The 64 Dead March in Saul" was introduced as a voluntary. The rest of the service was chaunted with full choir, and mu-, sic adapted to the occasion. It concluded with Hac.l del's grand piece--'4 Behold the Lamb of COD," which was executed on the organ with striking effect.' The Chapel was crowded in every part with the prin. cipal families and individuals of. the University and City ; the deep silence and attention which prevailed during this suleinit ceremony amply evinced the uni. versa! sorrow felt here, as well as in every other guar ter of the kingdom, and expressed by a spontaneous] wish to pay the last melancholy tribute to the me mory of an amiable and beloved PRINCESS. 64 At St. John's College Chapel the day was ob served as on a solemn fast. A long time before six o'clock the Ante-Chapel of New College was crowded with persons, all anxious to pay their last solemn tri bute of iespe . et to the memory of then' depaiied l PRINCESS. The service on this particular occasioo was read, and instead of the Psalms and Lessons furl the day, the 3Sth and 90th P sa l ms , t h e 14 t h c h apter ' of Job, and the Funeral Lesson were introduced. The Anthem, 44 Lord I call, &c." which was set to the music of HANDLI:II Dead March in Saul, was admirably performed by the Gentlemen of the Choir., The duet, *I 0. Lent), consider my tears . ," and the sublime p.m, 4 , Forgive me all my sins," was sung , with peculiar judgment and taste. The conclusion, I 44 0 spare me a little," &c. had a most impressive and awful effect on all present, who visibly felt the severe loss the nation had now to deplore. The re.' maining prayers were then read, and the whole of this solemn and. sacred performance was icknowledge4 I to be awfully grand, without the vain effort of pomp and Useless parade." " ABINGDON, NOVEMBER 21. " The melancholy day of the interment of her Royal Highness the Princess CHARLOTTZ eras ob. served with very great solemnity here.

In the afier noon a discourse was delivered at the Independent Chapel by Mr. WltAttNs, and in the evening ;if the Baptist Chapel. a Sermon was preached by Mr. KER SHAW. The Church and the Chapels were most nu merously attended." " SHEERNESS, NOVEMPER 19. (Exttact of a Private Letter ) " Never was mourning more general or profound than that in which all around me is now shrouded nn the melancholy occasion of the remains of our la mented t'u►ress. being consigned to the tomb. The public works are all suspended—the dock-yards are shut—every shop and house is Closed.--The ki:ell of departed worth has sounded its low and muffled tonrc on the ear—the churches and chapels have been all crowd-if to excess, by congregations clad in the deepest manroing. It was particularly gratifying to observe at the G.trrison Chapel, the whole of the soldiers of the 30th with black crape on their arms. " The discourse of the Rev. Mr. PRAWLARD, at Bethel Chapel, was singularly happy. He spoke from Proverbs, chap. 22, v. '2, The rich and the poor meet together; the Loan is the Master of them all." The picture which he drew of the sainted CHARLOTTE, filled every eye with tears. Servic.: was also performed on board of most of the numerous thips of war which crowd the harbour, and all their streamers are waving half-mast high—that " mourn ful sign il o'er the main,"— " Seen only when th' illustrious di!, " Or are in glorious battle shin !" " CANTERBURY, NOVEMBER 21. I. This City exhibited on Wednesday every external mark of an abstinence from worldly concerns ; the windows of the.shops, and most of the private dwell ings, were closed, and, with the exception of a few trifling instances, all labo..a. seehied to have ceased. At ten o'clock in the forenoon, the MAYOR Cor. poration, accompanied by dolts Est. one of our Representatives, proceeded Irom the Guildhall to hear DivibeService at the Cathedral, each member wearing a black silk scarf ever his robes; the civic emblems of otfice being shrouded in black and white crape; the bearers and other officers of the Corpora. tion wearing black rosettes. a.id the children of the Blue Coat School bearing similar rosettes on the tops of their white waads. " The service being that appointed by the ritual for the day, in no respect differed from that usually performed, except in being read in three division. by the Dean and Prebendaries, and -in the omis sion of the chanting of the Psalms, tee. but with the addition of an anthem, composed by D sctcr from the 59.11 Psalm '"‘ Lou,,, let me *know mine end, and toe number of my day s'—and which alone of the whole service might be considered as peculiarly applicable to the sorrowful event of the moment. A discourse from the 9th of Hebrews, v. 27.—" It is app.linted unto men once to die ; but, after that, the judgment"--was delivered by the Dean, in which the esteemed preacher impressively depicted the last sad moments of our existence, and forcibly urged the necessity of being prepared for the day of judgment ; adding in conclusion, that without a sincere contrition, and a fixed determination to amend our lives and conduct, the devotion of the present day teas but a piece of solemn mockery. The assemblage of his auditors was numerous beyond all precedent and all remembrance, the whole intetnal space of the choir from its entrance to the very steps of the altar being filled with all ranks and classes, intermingled without distinction. Nor were our dis senting brethren less attentive to the occasion. Af fecting sermons on the solemn subject were preached in the afternoon at the Presbyttriah and Baptist Meetings, as also in the evening at St. Peter's, and the Union Chapels, which were, all attended by ex tremely crowded congregations. Those of the Jewish nation resident in this city, were also congregated at their Syn igogue, where an appropriate service, ap pointed by the chief Rabbi, '.vas celebrated." SITTINGBOURNE, NoVEMBER 19. " The church, this day, was numerously and re spectably attended, when the congregation were highly gratified at thkattlecia.and impressive manner in which the Rev. Mr. PaAncl performed the while of the duty. The effect of the Funeral Service was greatly heightened by the tolling of the bell at inter vals, and a most appropriate and affecting sermon closed the awful ceremony. Not a countenance was site that was not Strongly marked with grief. Tne pulpit of the church and the royal arms were Inmg with " aolenitt black,* and the flag on the steeple w.,s reduced to half staff. The lessons were selected from the 12th chapter of the 24 Book of Samuel and the sth chapter of St. Mark. After the service of the day, the burial service was read, and the halt minutebell at the instant recommenc i ng its doleful sounds, acted as a signal fur a simultaneous burst cf grief : “ Ttars—thi n tears, fun Frig rerrcsr, Gushing fell, like heallig ba::” ; " And the whirlwind st: 'be breast " Ned tutu a dreary calm!'
