FUNERAL of the PkINCESS CHARLOTTE. EITURTHEK PA_RTICULAI-5.1 It will be seen - by the- Claremont letter, ow Prince Lem.°La returned there Irons \Vintl •or after the Funeral. During the service in St. George's Chapel, he had suppressed his emotions by an effort which had nearly exhausted his forti tude,- At tlte•-soletnn close of it, his agitation could no Aonger be concealed, and it was doubtless increasers by the consciousness that he was at that moment nearly the only object of anxiety and of the respectful sympathy of all. He had preserved ,bis situation, vibile the corpse re mained its the Choir, sitting at the head of it, with an earnest suppression of his feelings, and with an apparent concentration of thought, which was his guard against impressions from the ten derness of others. ,Out, when the last removal of the Body was made, the severe command which he had preserved over himself, was brokeQ, he .be gan to be overpowered, and be thus left the Choir. The Deputy Garter, •in proclaiming - the stile of the departed Princess, bad innocently coutriiaoted to produce this emotion, by his own. His voice faultered, and he was not audible at the conclu sion of his part of the ceremony. From such a trial solitude was the only refuge. His Highness set out immediately for Claremont. During the service, his supportersthe Royal Dukes, had chairs on each side of the corpse. Before it, the organ performed Croft and Purcell's Burial Service, after which the'.39th and 90th Psalms were chanted in a solemn manner, and with powerful effect. The Hon. and Rev. H. L. Hobart, Dean of NVindsor, read the Funeral Ser vice, in a most impressive manner, in the Sove reign's stall. After the first lesson, the favourite Anthem, composed by Dr. Blake, from the 16th Psalm, " I have set God. arrays before me ; for he is on my right band, therefore I shall not fall," was introduced with very impreksive effect, and sung by the Gentletnets of. the Choir. • At the close of the Antbern the Rev. Dean left hia stall, and proceeded to the vault, during which the second part of the Burial Service was per formed by the Choir. The remaining part of the prayers were then read by the Dean, at the close of which, and after the proclamation over the vault, the organ played the Dead March in Saul, and the congregatioia departed. It should have been mentioned, that, as the body was borne along the Chapel, under the Canopy, the Choris ters preceded it, singing " I know that my Re- Dawes: liveth:" A. great number of Ladies of rank were admitted into St. George's Chapel, dressed in deep plain mourning. The effect in the Choir was beyond the power of language to describe, and this sacred pile, lighted up with a profusion of wax lights, re -Becting the various flags and banners of the most Noble Order of the Garter, added to the deep tone of the organ, and the solemn performance of the funeral obsequies, produced such a deep impression of melancholy feelings, that many of the most manly countenances could not endure the scene of lamentation and grief. Several departed before the service was completed. CLAREMONT, THURSDAY, Nov. 20.—Prince Leopold, accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Short, arrived here at two o'clock this morning from Windsor, having left the Lower Lodge at a quar ter past twelve.—The answer to the inquirers this day " his Serene Highness.is as well as can be expected, on his return home."—The weather provirig remarkably fine to-day, his Serene High ness has walked out for a short time this morning, accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Short.—The in quirers were very numerous to-day : among them were Viscount Burghersb, and Mr; liuskis-. son, M. P. Yesterday morning, _the' Parish Chorc,h- Esher was crowded, in expectation of hearing an appropriate Sermon, it being the day appointed for the funeral of the beloved PRINCESS, which expectation, however, was disappointed in an ex traordinary manner. The Church Service being read by the Rev. Mr. Dagle, the Rector, he tent into the Vestry, the congregation expecting he was gone to change his surplice for his gown and cassock, and to preach a Sermon, but in stead of which he was the first who walked out of the Church, and no Sermon was preached. In the evening, however, many who were then disappointed went to the Independent Chapel, at Weston-green, and beard a most excellent and appropriate Sermon on the afflicting occasion by the Rev. Mr. Churchill, the Minister of the Cha pel. The Reverend Gentleman very forcibly and feelingly dwelt upon the time he was speaking (between eight and nine o'clock), the hour at which the most amiable of Princesses, who was a pattern in her domestic virtues to the neighbours he was then addressing, was proceeding' to leer last and melancholy destination. The Chapel was crowded to excess. Yesterday the SI:111 of 501. was distributed among the poor of the parish of Eshtr, accorditi 4 i'dthe extent and circumstances of their families, by com mand of - Prince Leopold.

The Jay of the funeral of our much-lamented Princess CHARLOTTg was kept throughout this university and town in the most solemn and de vout manner. ,Tbeggreat bell at St. Mary's began tolling early i 9 114. morning, and continued during the whole day. The shops of the different trades men in the town were shut, and the Churches were open for divine service, as upon the Sab bath. The Vice-Chancellor and the Members of the University assembled in the Senate-house at a quarter before 11 o'clock, from whence they walk ed in procession to St. Mary's Church, every Member being dressed in the deepest mourning ; clue three Esquire Beadles preceding, with their maces down, to indicate the deepest depression of the whole Body, upon this most melancholy occasion. The Church was hung with black cloth, which, combined with every part of it be ing crowded with persons dressed in mourning, had a most awful and imposing effect. Upon the procession entering the Church, the organ began playing the Dead March in Said, which Continued until the Vice-Chancellor, the Noblemen, and the Heads of Colleges, bad taken their seats. The an them, " I know that my Redeemer ,liveth," was then sang; after which the Regius Professor of Divinity, the Rev. Dr. Kaye, Master of Christ College, tvho, with his accustomed kindness, as sented to the request made to him by the Vice- Chancellor and Heads of Colleges, preached a most impressive and excellent sermon upon these words : " It is good for me that I have been at flicted."—Plahn 119, verse 71. The procession lett the Senate-house at the western .door, and turning to the right , ; advanced along the south side of it, through die cloisters of the public library, at;il issued out -of the square at the gate opposite St. Alary's Church in the fol lowing order : Three Esquire Beadles Vice-Chancellor Noblemen Doctors of Divinity, Law, and Physic Public Orator The Pr. ctors The Taxors The Librarian and Registrar Bachelors of Divinity Non-Regent Masters of Arts " . Regent Masters Bachelors of Law and Physic Fellow Commoners ; every person in each faculty walking according to the seniority of his degree in that faculty, and crossing the street . , entered the Church at the western door. The Mayor, Aldermen, and numeroes other Members of' the Corporation assembled at the Town Hall, at eleven o'clock, from whence they proceeded to the Parish Church of St. Andrew the Great, where Divine Service was performed (with select and appropriate psalms and lessons), and an excellent and impressive Sermon was deli vered, by the Rev. Mr. Gee, Fellow of Sydney College, from Ecclesiastes, 7. iv.—" The heart of the wise . is in the house of mourning."—The procession returned in the same order to the Town Hall, when (on the motion of Sir J. C. non lock) the Thanks of ;he Corporation were unani ::10,.ssly voted to the Iteverend . Getttletteu, for iris very 'pious and - instructive discourse. The service pt the. other Chill-v.llos . vvits 0f ... 0tt sante impressiiie kind, awl discourses amiropriiire to the theinoeholy occmiort Were delivered. l'he pulpits, redding-desks, Bze. were ,covered with black cloth. The expression of the general mournful feeling was not .confined to the Members of the Esta blished Church; the congregations of Protestant Dissenters in this town,as well as in other places, observed the day with due solemnity, by attend ing divine - Service at their respective places of wor s hip and- 'the Independent Meeting-nouse near Downing.street was appropriately decorated with black cloth. In the evening a- dumb peal was rung at St. Mary's Chinch, which. ,commenced at eight o'clock, and condoned till near ten. For- the credit and honour of this place,_ it gra tifies us to stare, that we never saw a more uni versal feeling of sorrow and concern on,the coun tenances of all, or a day observed with so much decoruM and proper sense of the great loss the whole nation has ,experienced. BIRMINGHAM, Nov. I.9.—This evening the re- Mains of 'Our late amiable and deeply-lamented Patscss, with her Royal Infarit, will be depo sited in the cold and silent tomb. The grave is now fast closing over the Mice dear object of a nation's hope !—ln this town, the day has passed with a- solemnity, the impression 'Of which it is impossible adequately to describe. At 12 o'clock Jest night the bells of the various Churches and Chapels commenced tolling the solemn buff" fune-; ral knell ; (luring the day the whole of the shops were dosed, 'business entirely suspended, and a great portion of the private houses presented the customkry appearances when the corpse of a 'war end dear relative lies,, within. At the ap pointed hburs, the inhabitants, with countenances indicative they " had that within which passeth thew," one and all in deep mourning, pressed to wards the respective places of divine worship, the pulpits, deskS, &c. of which were clothed with black cloth. The . discourses, generally, we un derstand, were of•the most affecting and instruc tive nature; setting forth the instability of all sublunary hopes ; the exemplary life of the Princess, whose loss all so deeply deplored ; and entreating an imitation of her bright example, by a virtuous and holy life. The places of wor ship were much thronged. The bells, we tinder stand, will continue to toll until halt-past 12 this evening; when it is atti,poed the last sad offices at Windsor will ha-re been completed. Sr. NEOTS.—The general', feeling of sorrow upon the mournful occasion of the funeral of our beloved l'yinces, - was expressed at this place with all Possible solenthiry and respect.
