•' Lord Chamberlain's °Ace. .\'‘Tv. 16. 1616.
" Notice i. hereby given, that Ms Royal Eli:eines; the Noce Re.
get. ha, been pleased to einnTnaud, that all ('curt 11 ourning..(except
tou.,t of very short periods) shall. in (mut!. be abridged half of the
thration ai at pre itt e•Gthnitwi and further, that all Court
ournings of a long &nation after the first .ix weeks, be worn
tray at Court and on Sundays."
Considerable distress has always been occasioned by
a gent:ral mourning. The present, however short,
b. felt with more than its usual poignancy by the
labouring class of manufnentrcrs, front the protracted
illness of her Majesty, which gave ample thee to the
public to supply themselves with articles of mourning,
Every mark of respect will be shown to her Majesty
by the public wearing their black clothes for a short
Period ; and when we consider that thousands are now
o it of employ, and that some thousands are to be thrown
upon the public by the disbanding of the troops, we
hope the propriety of complying with the benevolent
order above inserted will be seen and acknowledged.
Would it not also be proper to re-insert the order
above n:ti:reed to in the Gasclle, as no notice is taken
of it in the recent order for a Court mourning?
The distress at Coventry has been for some time
past very groat, as will be seen by the evidence on the
Coventry weavers' petition last Session of Parliament.
A petition was sent, signed by the principal manufac-
firers of Coventry, a few weeks ago, suittno: the uns.
bated distress there, and requesting that public mount-
ings might he shortened to two or three weeks.
The distress of the shopkeei ars was very great during
t:e mourning flu. the Princess Amelia ; one house,
which usually took 801. a day, in ready money, only
took 18s.

Lord Castlereagh is exacted in town, about the mid-
dle of next week. Hi:; Lor&hip did intend to have spent
the interval, between the close of the conferences at
Aix-la-Chapelle and the meeting. of Parliament, at
Brussels and Paris ; but, inlconsequ,:nce of' the death
of the Queen, that arrangement has been abandoned.—
Morning Paper.
Preparations have been made at Hertford House
frr the reception of the Marquis and Marchioness,
during the last three days. The flintily were expected
in town lust night.
A Contract has been entered into by Government
for upwards of (30,000 loads of timber, to be delivered
in three years.
Accounts have been received from New South Wales
to the I fith of Al ay last, at which time the colony was
in the most floatishiatt state. The ships Batavia, Lady
Castlereagh, Minerva, Guilt:Wird, and Neprine, had
arrived at Port Jackson with eunvle%t, all in the best
state of health and disci; line.

Philips, tlm singer, is about to return from his mu-
sical tour to America ; where, such is the state of
music, that he was obliged constantly to drill the or-
cl:estras, to render the performers capable of accom-
panying his songs. lneledon was frequently obliged
sing his ballads without any accompaniment what-
ever.

Monday upwards of 400 sail of colliers arrived in
tltc Hirer, from Shields, .which, with the present mild
;eas-41, will tend to reduce the price of coals, there not
having been any arrivals for some time past.
It is that the purification of coal gas, which is
become of so much general application for lighting
stteLts and shops, may be effected in a more economical
manner by passing it through ignited iron tubes, than
by the common application of quick lime : as every sum.
g3:,tion lift improvement in this important part of trie
process is deserving attention, the hint may be produe•
the of beneficial consequences.
