Nloßßis leaves the Congress for the command of th e Jara in this Port ; and that the. slo ►pa Lynx .Lnil Prometheus, now here, will soon proceed to the C;olpit of Mexico. HALIFAX, OCT. 14.—Canadian Trade...—The quantity of potash alone shipped from . Quebec during the last year was estimated at. 150,000/. sterling—why-may we' not soon expect to bear of some attempt to manufacture that valuable article in this province, -which possesses equal advantagea to any other British colony in North America ? The. process is simple, and might give employment to many poor emigrants from Europe. The Moutteal Paper, of 18th October, states, that the Earl of DALHOUSIE, Lieut.-Governor of Nova Scotia, was expected in that sity on a visit for a short time. - We stated yesterday that dispatches from India had been received just before our Paper was put to press. The following are said to be. the con cents. It appears that the affairs of HOLKAR con tin,ed in a desperate state. The main army under GUFFOOR KHAN were plundering the provinces; the domestic troops remaining in Dburna, and SCINDIA and AMBER KHAN amusing the Biiar Aid.' - delusive promises. RUNJRZT SING was at Lahore; DE WAN CHUND, with a body of 'loosen troops, was. near Noorpoor. His progress had been unsuccessfully opposed by MULUCIL MARG. MED KHAN, the Zemindar of Bavannah; about seventy men of the Seik army were killed. end wounded. A few Seik horseman had approached Multan, but were repulsed with considerable loss Repeated applications had been made by the Na bob of ArIoLTAN to the KING for assistance to repel the Seik invasion; but his MAJESTY and his Vr en had nut. attended to. the solicitations. In the meant time Moltan.was suffering all the mise ries of indiscriminate plunder. Au army of Be looches had attacked and defeated Nabob ABDUL SUNUD KHAWN, the Governor of Derab Gauzee Khan, with considerable loss. A Letter, purporting to come from Mr. HEWRY llAsti, respecting some alleged intended arrange ments relaive to the 5 per Cents. which appeats in some of the Morning Papers of this (lay, is a forgery. flaying often maititeited our feeloip melancholy . occasi;)n_ which 'called for the iticis't respectful testimonies of .nationia grief, we con ceive that it is now a duty to our . 13 . rotlier Journ4- lists, throughOtit the Country, to let them express their own sentinients . , as well as those of the in habitants, wheee their several Publications are issued, ou so mournful a subject. It is but jUstic , z to the whole population o'f the Empire to assure ,the people of the Metropolis that their lamenta tions have been echoed in all quarter's, and we refer to our pages of this day for as mAny of these sympathetic effusions as we Can at preiefit conve niently achnit. As we expected, the subject of Mr. Too•C'S Letter, which first net the public eye in this Pa per, has made a strong impression throughout the Country. It has Made its appearanie in so me of the country papers, and will, probably,' be adopted by mail others, as the Subject has ex cited universal interest, and as a itatistketory ac count is expected.and universally demanded.—We refer our Headers to an excellent Letter inserted this day. The funeral homage of iVedneiday eras paid ' with every solemnity of 'external grief, and of real sorrow, at the Tower Chapel. The service, which was performed by the Rev. Mr. WILKIN SON, the Chaplain of the . ToWer, was opened with the affecting commencement of the Burial Office—" I am the resurrection and the lite, saith the Lord,"—front which the Psalms and the second lesson were also selected :—the first lesson being taken from the concluding Chapter of Ec clesiastes. Every one felt the sublime and simple expression of the Prophet, and applied it to the calamitous celebration of the day,—" The silver core is loosed :"'—for alas I the pure and precious unity of all our hearts exists no more I—Mr. WILKINSQN, by one of those coincidences which we had anticipated, took for his text the verses we had noticed—" Behold, there came a certain Ruler, and worshipped him, saying, my Datigh ter is even now dead ; but come, and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live."—Matt. c. 9. v. 18.--In his discourse, he deviated perhaps from the accustomed strain ; anti, instead of dwelling on the mournful part of the subject, which, as he said, our-own eyes and ears bad suf ficiently brought before us, he called our atten lion to the great and abundant consolations which sorrow scarcely permits us yet to bphold.—He represented the mercies of God, the purity of our departed Saint, and the glorious example of her virtues, by imitating which we should render to her the truest respect, and to ourselves the best benefit.—l have this clay, for the first time--said the reverend Preacher—prayed with my lips only, and not with my heart., that our old King may be restored to his mind, and permitted in this world to behold the intellectual light :—I now account it the kindest and most merciful boon of Provi dence, oh good., and venerable, and spotless old man ! that thy sense is blind to the woes for which we are mourning ; and I now would ven ture to pray, that thine eyes may never open up on the loss of thy Grand-daughter, until they be'. hold her in - the blessed light of eternity. Every eye was bathed in tears :—the Preacher himself was overpowered, anti scarcely able to proceed : the soldiery, who filled the galleries, sheaved evi dent emotion, and many a rugged cheek bore the testimony or a brave man's sorrow. COAN•EXCHANGE, Nov. 21.—Our arrivals this morning consisted principally of Oats, fine sam ples of winch sold readily, anti on full as good terms as on Monday; the same remark applies to Wheat, but there is no amendment in ordinary ; fine Barley and Old Beans support their prices ; in other articles no alteration. WINDSOR, Nov. 20.—This morning her MA JESTY and PRINCESS SLI2ABETg , RI tended try their Ladies in Waiting, took an airing to Frogniore. The Duke of Gt.auces - rea left the Castle to-day for London. The Doltv of CLARENCE for Bushy park, and Lord and Lady MACCLESFIELD for Sher honrne.:castle. The whole of the Nobility left Windsor this morning for their respective resi dences. The Quint: and Princess ELIZrAERTRIS return to Bath is now positively fixed for Monday next. Yesterday morning some of the Royal Household were dispatched from Windsor to make the neces sary preparations for their arrival there on the evening of that day.—(Morning Paper.) . On Wednesday morning, early, the QUEEN sent one of her Pages to the Lower Lodge, Windsor, to enquire after Prince LEOPOLD. General TAY LOR afterwards waited tpon his Serene Highness from the QUEEN and i'RINCESSES. The Dukes of YORK, CUMBERLAND, SUSSEX, and GLOUCIASTZR, visited their afflicted relative in the course of the moriing. Yesterday the Dwke of Yoate visited the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-house. Earl BATHURST And Viscount CASTLEREAGH had also audiences of his Royal Highness. The colours of the Navy Board were hoisted on Wednesday on the top of their office in So►nerset Place half mast high, and, as usual on such occa sions, reversed: qietor• to tLe tier tv 6 lon 1)Pi 1. p i to 0 3e 0 h : jos,' or 1 .. ki l'Aiv e i u ivoP` l ~i ;P 1:6 ciirkitLUF lE.

If Yon think may tend to that elucidation so anxiously called tor, and which your letter was so eminently cal culated to procure OS, you will much oblige cue by sending it to Tits SUN, in which your letter first appeared. Circumstances induce me to con= ceal my name, and were it to appear, it could not strengthen the demand for inquiry which your's, as that of a scientific and experienced medical praCtitioner, has done. The Papers still teem with inconsistencies, and the rational part of So ciety look tap with gratitude to you who have nobly'cOme forward to claiM that information which only can appease the grieved anti irritated feelings of the Public ; yet many still jabber about deli cacy, and for the condemnation of ouch my letter is written.. I am, sir, your admiring And very obedient buntble Savant, T. A. Fuot, „Esq. FOR THE SUN'. Mk. Enrrou,—While the late visitation i, fresh in the breast of every Briton, I wish to lay before the Public, through the Medium of your Paper, a few observations, the result of that melancholy brooding over grief, which is a natural though bitter indulgence to the sorrowing mind. Could meditation, could art or eloquence, restore to the wounded.minds of Englishmen the cheering pro spect which but a few days since shone upon them, how many abler pen's than mine would be em ployed, how much of 'intellectual store would be called forth with the joyous hope of diffusing hap piness once more around. Alas ! no such possi bility exists, and all that remains is the dismal sa. tisfaction of endeavouring .to_ learn from what cause such a calamity has overwhelmed us. Let no affected delicacy presuMe to emect its standard here ; the occasion is too solemn, too awful, for its paltry interference. We have been bereft by death of a Princess whose virtues and talents pro- ' mired every ble'ssing to the nation, and of a regular succession, which is the best safeguard of the peace and happiness of a State. We know that our beloved Princess died in childbirth ; hat this is a very indefinite. knowledge : the birth of a child is an operation of Nature; of which, without some co-operating cause, no female ever died. Fer our further satisfaction, we are informed that she died of exhaustion, which proceeded from her severe and protracted suffering From what cause this suffering was so protracted Might be consi tiered as an useless question, did it not involve the important one of whether .or not surgical skill could have put a termivation- trir Natttte, though -fatally slow, at length completed her work ; a child •was born perfect, and the mother was uninjured. No obstacle, therefore,- of an in surmountable nature, it may be thought, existed to prevent the• birth ; and ,we are led to imagine that- Art,-possibly, might have performed earlier, what Nature effected too late. One of her Royal Highness's three medical attendanti, though emi nent as an Anatotnist and a Physician, is un knowr to the public in the capacity of an Accou cheur. Practical Midwifery, it is well known, forms a distinct branch of Surgery, and is still more remote from the Practice of Physic. I should apprehend, even that the palse of a woman in labour might inspire fallacious hope in the most experienced Physician, .not in the habit ef. tending such cases. The bodily anguish and pe culiar mental agitation which A woman endures at thote moments might stimulate the pulse, though dangerous exhaustion bad commenced. Of her Royal Highness's two other:medical attendants, one was never admitted into her chamber, though the'only one, the Public Prinis inform us, capable of using instrtiments. When be arrived at Clare mont, which was very long after the labour com menced, a letter, it is understood, was dispatched from Sir R. Croft to the Prince Regent, informing, him that his daughter's sufferings were so pro tracted, that it might be necessary to employ art in her delivery. Are we not naturally led to fear, and do not some of the I'nh'ic Prints strengthen the cruel apprehension, that the First State Au thority was required by those around her Royal Highness, before they would venture to act for her relief ? Shall we he 'eft in the afflicting doubt, that a nation's ardent hopes, - a lrsband's.excrn dating anxiety, and the awful responsibility to the. Supreme Judge of all, trere not motive s of sufficient fotce ? Unfortunate Princess ! the . meanest stibject that . owns your 'Royal Father's sway would feel it hard to wait for hell) wider such circumstances, hut before succour co,id be e?rtended to you, is it true t h a t hundreds of miles were to be travelled ove: - ? Untortnitate infant ! whose unborn grandettr • poirred to the grave, 'did you, like your Roye ;k • . St(Vther, sink-a victim to the fardyeffOrts of N. • • tote ? li there a heart in all this land'of sue • adamantine hardness as not •to be impressed w the sorrows - of the Husband ? the tibliaky band, who strove, by his presence; to soothe and to support, and who strove in vain—yet not in vain; for though his . loved presence inspired strength beyond human strength, only to support suffering beyond human suffering, still the affec tionate and confiding - heart was soothed. No man can understand the Widower's feelings, for no man like hint has been the object of.unbotind• ed love and reverence to the greatest Princess of the earth—no one like hi m has united th e l oss o f all that could delight, the heart of than in priiate happiness _with all that could excite the ambition of a Prince in public life;-he stands exalted on a roek of desolation,frnm, which no path descend s to the 'ways of common life ; its base is now sur.; rounded by people from every civilized nation of the world, bringing that tribute of respectful sympathy which all fe e li ng hearts must render ; hut their avocations will call th em - awa y, t h ey will disperse, and hii grief will remain in sad loneliness. The heart shrinks front the picture the fancy has drawn, and Faith whispers conso lation— • 4 , When Dian brar,und be resigned, " God ever soothes the suffering mind, " And studs him future bliss." F. A. • FOR THE SUN. , • Mr. EDITOR,—There is no token of 'national affection which our dear departed PRINCESS bath not merited ; and none which will he withheld from her. The accustomed etiquette may not perhaps allow any Parliamentary motion or reso lution for a Monument to her Memory :—and at all events, the people would he better -satisfied with its spontaneous proceeding from themselves. Let me therefore, Sir, through the Medium of your widely circulating :Journal, suggest.the im mediate opening of A NATIONAL SUBSCRIPTION FOR A MONUMENT TO THE LATE BELOVED PRIN CEsS. CHARLOTTE; toward which the penny at the _poor man shall be rece;ved as cordially as ;he gold of the opulent.—Thus, a lasting testimony of ilea worth, and of our affection, will be raised, in the way most honourable to the dead, and most consolatory In the living : since our share in the tribute wilt be as general as our sense of the loss. I sugges - t this to y6re, Mr. Editor, because think '('HR Subr deserves to be honoured with ori ginating a proposition so interesting . ' and so patriotic. TITI rI'ANNICUS. THE THEATRE. It is with more thatireluetance that we ;turn to any subject of tnere-:am . iiSement at tliis melan choly period, anti we should expreSs more than surprise that Covent-Garden Tin atre was opened last alight, as we conceive that an invitation to public gaiety is unseasonable, afters° rePent and so great a public calamity. We learn, however, from tire ornhigPapers; that The Castle clAndalusio•, and The Father and his Children, wece.represented, for we. are ourselves - incapable of so soon forgetting the loss which the Empire Las sustained. Some - allowance, however, .aught to be .made for' - the Proprietors, who hai,e. heavy incumbrances to .support, and for the Performers , in general, to a 'cessation of eMployment is a grievous em harrassment. We wish, indeed, that, instead of the lighter effusion 4 of the comic Muse, a moral and af fecting Tragedy had been represented, or that, like the other Theatre, AN Ottivrocto had been perform ed, as Sacred Music would haveheen more suitable to the time, more consonant to the general feel ings, and well calculated,.to draw the public mind to an awful sense of anopter and a better world.
