Divine Service was resumed this morning at St. George's Chapel, which remains in the same state as it was at the Royal funeral uts ‘Vedriesday last, the whole of the cloir being - covered H ac k baize, and all the stalls hung tvith supet fine black e l ot t i . The Church was crowded with gentry, ~1 1, 3 „ y o f w h o m were disappointed, as the Sc r vice was pet formed in the same manner as at a general fast, any music, and will continue while the appendage , of sorrow remain. All the mem bers present appeared in their funeral trimmings, consisting of the Dean, seven Canons, two minor Canons, arid eleven Lay-clerks. An inuir , :ssive discourse lipan this solemn occasion, fiorn the 18ii verse of 2,1 char. of St. Matthew's gospel— " lu Rama there was a voice heard,. lamentation and weeping, and. great mourning ; Rachel weep ing for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not," was delivered by the Ho- Pourable and Rev. Dr. MARHANI, Canon in resi dence. At the commencement of the sermon, the preacher lamented his want of fortitude to enter on a subject which was so deeply felt by tnatty persons present, with whom the departed was a . companion and guide and their own familiarltienil, and " who oren took sweet counsel together and walkrd into the House of Got, as friends." He drew a picture of her religious character, and instituted an historical comparison of her and Kin , EDWARD VI The effect of the whole dis course was visible upon the greatest part of the congregation, among who:n was the Bishop of SALISBURY, the Princess's Preceptor, who was deeply aEcied. In the prayer previous to the sermon, the pireachet implored the assistance of 'Providence to,,•ards the Royal family to enable them to bear their loss.

In order to avoid all observation, he hired two carriages at Baden, with which he came and returned." A part of the 103 d regiment arrived at Ports mouth on Thursday front Quebec, - in the Earl of Dalhousie transport, and are now quartered at gilsea, preparatory to being - dbbaaded. TAR THE SUN% MUSICIANS. . . Ehii•Oa,-Tile 'present seems to be life age of REFORMERS, not merely in State Affairs. A IlefOrMcr has coine for Ward in the Musical World, who has :ietentiv scattered disords, and is likely to lhake the Man agtirs his Instrupents. It seems, that in order to curry faVohr with the theatrical Sovereigns, for Rulers, of all descrip tions, will alwayi haVe attendant Syviihanis, this Ref orther has recommended a syste . th of retrench-, meat, which Jas led to the Alisaiissioo of some able Alosicians, anti has itolOced others to relin- their sit nations, rather than submit to such humiliating reductions as render it almost a IOSS of tithe for them to attend to the Theatre, when they might derive more . advantage from a general einployment of their talents. This . ReforMer, it is said, Is a Musician himself,' but of a very Mo derate order, though 'he aspires at the dignity of Composer. it is.iuspected that lie wants to ren der himself the only pet•sob that is to regulate musical concerns, and of course to derive a prolit from patrOnage.. It i►s somewhat curiouS, that while the Manager'Of the Opeta-liiitise was aUt [uniting the rent of his boxes, he was diminishing the pay of the Orchestra. By the way, Mr. EDITOR; as you profess to render your Paper II 13 PUBLIC PAPER. that is, 1 presume, a Paper for THENATION AT LARGE, and not for any particular body 'of men, political or otherwise, I am sur prised• that you do not direct your censure against the introduction of an ITALIAN OPERA among us at all. The ,high state of musical cultivation to which this Country has arrived, place.s us above the necessity °limp:it:tying ourselves, in science or in taste, by the assistance of Foreign Masters. — Italy was once the GREAT SCHOOL Of PAINTING. What is it now in this respect, compared with the Artists of our own Country 3 If Italy has not degenerated as much in Music as it has in PAINTING, it is certain that it has not such a superiority over English Instrumental 'Musicians and Vocal Performers, as -should tempt us to to lerate an Establishment thai, introduces every year ' a hoade of profligate Foreigners, Singers and D tocc..s,* who, in their circle of action, spread baneful principles in politics,- as well as the conta gion of immorality, besides taking our money and latighing at our taste. Our people of fashion ought to be ashamed of giving patronage to such a pernicious institution. But to return to the Musical Reformer. The consequence of his paltry system of retrenchment will. be the introduction of an inferior tribe of Instrumental Perfornieps into the Orchestras of both the Theatres, for in, fcrior talents will be content with interior pay, and therefore, rather than have our ears tortured with the harsh scrapings of some, or hearing others " grate on their scrannel pipes," as MIL TON says, it would be better to abolish all music between the acts, and, indeed, musical dram..ts altogether. Nov. 22. ANTI-PARASITE. * It is reported that a Female Dancer at one of out Thea tres lately said before many natives of this Country, speak ing of Buonaparte, that " she revered him as her Sove reign." Should such people be suffered to take.Eriglish money and despise English principles? ROYAL ACADEPIY.—Mr. CARLISLE, the Pro fessor of Anatomy, commenced his annual series of Lectures last night,'on this subject. After an elegant, appropriate, and affecting tribute to the virtues of the Princess CHARLOTTE, and an ex pression of ti.eie sympathy with the national feel ings on the untimely loss of so illustrious a cha racter, the learned Professor treated his subject with the perspicuity and knowledge'which have so justly raised him to processional distinction. EVAN PHILLIPS, ESGL.—IVe are sorry to state the death of this Gentleman, who was one of the Partners in the respectable firm of Messrs. HOG GART and PHILLIPS, of Broad-street. The cha racter of Mr. PHILLIPS ryas held in the highest esteem by his relatives and numerous friends, for every honourable and amiable quality, and his death will be long and deeply lamented. The heart of King Jamas, who abdicated the Throne of England, which was put in all urn :intl deposited trader a monument in the Scats. College ill Paris, was removed at the Revolution. It , was last week restored to its original situation in the chapel of the Scots College. IVe understand that the Trustees on Statate Labour for Glasgow have procured patterns of the various - kinds of Cast Iron used in paving . the streets of the Metropolis, with a view to a,cettain whether any of them could be advantageously em ployed there. In a city such. as Glasgtsw, where the transport of heavy articles in some of Alm streets is almost :neredible, it becomes not .only proper, but necessary, that every mode of paving should be exalt - tined, and the most efficient adopted. About six o'clock on Sunday night, the 16i h, tremendous storm came on at lr%'ine, accompanied with lightning and muck thunder the lightning struck- a stable belonging to Mr. Robernnn, inn 'keeper, by which two horses belonging to the Cunningham and Cumnock Yeomanly Cavalry, now. on permanent duty at Irvine, were killed; and one of the men, who happened to he ia the stable at the little, was so seriously injured that there is little hope of his tecoverinl. On the evening of Tuesday, the 18th instant, rick of barley, belonging to Mr. JOHN Du NUA t.EI3, of Honington-grange, in.the parish of Lillrshall, in the County. of Salop, was willfully set on fire by some evil disposed person or persons, bRIGINAt VO.:3ttRY.

THE THEATRE. The part of Richard the Third was to bsve been performed at Drury-lane Theatre last night by Mr. KEAN ; but as be was suddenly taken iii, a printed bill was circulated among the audience, !apprizing then► of the circumstance which had occurred, and stating, that rather than the public should suffer another disappmntment by changing the play, Mr. NlAvwooo would undertake the part, The Audience, though disappointed in their main expectation, took the matter kindly, and - Mr. MAywoon, though at first evidently embarrassed by timidity, improved in firmrieqs as he proceeded,•anti aitogcii►er acquitted hi►aself so well as to prove that he is ❑o inconsiderable ac quisition to the Theatre.

The building was visited by the superinterulant on the 10 ft instant, and reported to he all in good order. On the evening of the 1-Ith a very hcavy swell of sea came ashore, and •on the 15th the ground swell still continued, hut the weather was so thick and foggy, that the rock could not be seen till the afternoon, when the sea .was observed to break upon it with much violence, but a great part of the building was gone. The Carr ROck forms the terminating point to seaward of a most da!gerous sunken rs-ef, extending about two miles from the shore. The numerous shipwrecks which, not withstanding dl the improvements on the coost, still happen in this ut ighbourhood, had . run tiered the Carr Rock B,acon n wot k of very con siderable interest, and its completion had been. looked forward to with much anxiety. The Beacon Rock measures about seventy-two feet in length ; its greatest breadth is 23 feet, and at hight water of spring tides the site of the balding was at least 16 feet tinder the surface or keel of the sea, The building, of which we now lament the loss, is understood to have cost in the erection between 2 and 3,0001, and bade fair to possesS ail the advantages of an excellent landmark. It has been puisued for no less than five successive seasons. The loss of this important improvement on the coast will be severely telt by the shipping interest, parti-- larly of dre . Friths of Forth and Tay ; but as we learn front good authority, that several courses ot. the masonry remain uninjured, and these the most ditEetiltand expensive in their erection, having required more than three of the lire seasons, we may yet hope that a solid and permanent beacon of stone may be placed on this fatal reef, whicii would kpibtles, prove highly useful, though not pos. esSed of all ihe advantavcs of the proposed tide nsitOninc-,.—(Edinburgh Paper.)
