AS 'every thing relative, to the late. departed, PRANCESS must be interesting to our Readers, we extract the following account of the Bishop of CHESTER'S SERMON on the melancholy national Igss frOM The Chester Courant of the 25th inst. : SERMON, -OCCASIONED BY TILE DEATH OF HER ROYAL BIOFI NESs TIifiPRINCESS CHAR.LOTTE. About ten O'clock on Sunday morning last, the - Mayor.antl Corporation, of this cityproceed ed. from the Exchange to the. Cathedral to hear Divine Service. SeVeral of the Member's' wore mourning robes. The Psalms appointed for' the Morning Service, were.the 39th, 90th, and 16th ; thel43son, the 46th ch. Isaiah, and 15th ch. of . corit'ith.' The . Antheni,. by' •EliclOtt, Was. iptres . • threettliy a symphony -on tho organ: The . lirtit bII was . for three voices., contra-tenor, tenor, and ass The souls of the righteous are in the laud of God, uud there shall no torment touch them.' The second part, recitative,-.._' In the sight of the unwise they seem to die, and their departure is taken for misery, and their going from us :o be their destruction.' Verse—three voices, contra-tenor, tenor, and bass,—' But they are in peace, and their hopes is full of immortality.'— Air,—Handel, ' Pious orgies, pions airs; • Dracut sorrow, decent pray'rs, Will to the Lord ascend, and move • His pity, and regain his love.' Air,—Pergolest. ‘ 0 Lord have mercy upon me, 11)1.1 am in trouble :my streng th failed' Me, but my hope hath;been in thee OLord ; 1 have said, thou art my trod.'—Chorus, Ehdeu,---‘ For 'glo rious it the fruit of good labours, and the root of wisdom shall never fall away.' " The- Lord ;liiskop of the Diocese delivered an eloquent and appropriate -Sermon on this occa sion, from the Ist chap of Job, 21st verse,--' fhe Lord gave, and the Lord bath taken away, biassed he the name of the-Lord.' He introduced his discourse by observing, that the first and great foundation of „every good principle is a constant sense of the superintending Providence of the Almighty. This sentiment or feei;ng (he said) lies at tit,: root of all religion ; it should, therefore, be the medium through, which every incident of our lives is contemplated. It should be mixed with all our thoughts and prayers. Thus shall we learn to see the DEITY in all things, and seeing him, we must adore the wis dom and beneficence of all his works, as they must al ways tend to generate this frame of mind. Adver sity, affliction, and death, can never be contemplat ed withuut slumber and apathy into.which ease and afflitenee' are so apt to lull , us.—they naturally remind uspf out' own precarionsneserand mortality, and better prepare us to meet our God.—Sorrow is the nurse of, il wisdom. • Every pious meditation,—every good disposition, are cherished, strengthened, and matured in the House of Mourning. It is there we are taught to feel and know that we are men and Brethren, It is there we learn to commune with our own hearts. It is there that we throw off the debasing clogs of mortality, and more ar dently aspirt to those heavenly regions - where peace and happiness for ever dwell. The contem plation of death, (the worthy Prelate added) can nut but convince every one of the uncertain and fading nature of all things here below. It cannot but remind us of that land of darkness to which we are all rapidly tending. Pass but a few years more, and this vast assembly will be all laid op in the grave,—out of sight, and out of remem brance: The sun will rise and set,—but not tons. Inc tides will ebb and flow;—the laws of nature will have their course,—but we shall not be sen sible of: these things. The earth will ,give her increase, and the business of the world will go on,—but we shall have, no share—no conscious oess of what is passing. Affliction produces other advantages'i-one of them is; that it tends to in spire ns with a feeling of dependence upon Go(L There is nothing in reality so near to us, and yet nothing, which is very often so distant front our mindS as the Deity. But in adversity, when all other helps have tailed, we then feel the necessity of fleeing unto God. , His providence then be comes the object of our hope.--the source of our confidence, and of our consolation. He, tlren, who makes affliction and death productive of their proper effects, will learn to see in the arm of God, a power which over-rules all causes, and which can preserve him through all adversities. He becomes satisfied, both from experience and revelation, that his views of his Maker never ultimately terminate in misery, but that God constantly produces good, for evil. " Now, if ever there seas a periOd, or a circum stance, which calls forth these reflections, and which compels every rational being to think and feel, it is that event which your minds have al ready, I ant sure, gone before me in anticipat ing,—au event, which has' thrown a cloud over the happiness of nations, or which, more correctly speaking, has filled iheland with sadness. is a calamity indeed, • both of a public and a private nature. In . a public point of view, it has disap pointed the hopes" on which loyalty wan reposing;.. As a private affliction, it has gone home to the bosom of every family, and of almost every indi vidual in the Empire. " Painful 'as 'may be the contemplation of the particulars of this sad event,let - us not shrink from the duty. It may be of service to us to he thus, afflicted. • We may hence become better and wiser men. " Youth , now, under any circumstances, seldom sinks into the g►'ave ❑nlamented ; and the sy►npa thies of our uature are generally strongly excited, when they, whose morn was just opening to out' view, prematurely close their earthly career, and disappear from off the face of the earth to be seen on it no more., But these regrets ere naturally increased, when the comeliness of forth are snper added to the attractions of youth ; and such sen sibilities. are more powerfully excited, when the shaft of Death has fallen on one with. was early treading in the paths of religion, and whO was ex- , hibiting the bright pattern of. 'every rising virtue. Our grief too is naturally augmented by contrast, Under no circumstance can a loss be .more se felt,---under none eould : a female he more . deeply lamented, than if she sinks into the, tomb at - that monleut_of. time; Mien expectation was at its height,—whehaheW source of 'hope and dillies was opening to 'her, ai a mother, •It daughter, and a wife. Under thesesev2ral circumstances, she whom we now latherigiaid the venerable' Dio cesan) departed this'life. :" Neither our limits, neirTatistime, will allow us; this week, t„ give the remaining part of this beautiful discourse at so great:a length' as we could have wished. We must therefore content ourselves 'with ()tiering to the - notice of bur Readers, the substance of some of -the more in- erestis►g. passages.—The venerableyTeachersaid, that if the Illustrious Princess, whose death so great a number of persons had assembled then to lament, had lived, she would have reigned over the most distinguished Empire in the Universe. She, although the grand•(laughter of a King, endeared to us by his - virtues, and who, in his honourable old age still reigned in tl►e hearts of his people, had.laid aside the splendour of royalty,—lived in the greatest retirement,—there exhibiting all the virtues of a domestic life, and so preparing her self for the exalted situation she was likely to fill. Her beneficence was unbounded. She lived and died in private, but her los's was a public one. It human effort, or ho prayer could-have averted the dart of death, she would have no►v been a Happy mother in a happy land. Ile dWelt with much feeling on the loss her Illustrious• Consort on bad sustained. The ties that bound hilt) to this country were dissolved, and his fairest pros pects overcast. He had been honoured by the approbation and choice of .our lamented Princess, he had enjoyed, during his union with her, the highcst.degree•of felicity, and at the very..mornent of time, when he was inspired : with a fond and reasonable hope of becoming the father of a long line of British Kings,—that hope was destroyed, and the cup of earthly happiness was dashed from his lip, and he was lett a stranger in a foreign land. —The loss we had felt was great, but we should avoid repining. NVe should shew a spirit of re• signation similar to that evinced by her whom we now deplore, when she exclaimed--' It is the 'will . f;t The learned Prelate, after Commenting. oil the transitoriness of all earthly . grandenr, ad verted to the spit it of sorrow which pervaded the country in consequence of this heavy visitation, and to the effect it liad bad in hushing into still ness the clashing opinions of Party.—lle con chided his excellent discourse `with an impressive prayer, in which lie 'was 'joined by the Congre• " The Choir was literally crowded during the whole of the service."
