scription on the • coffin- of our beloved Princess
was not inore elegant and more appropriate. k
official and genealogical details of the Herald's
College are not very manageksble in a foreign lai.-
gu'a'ge, and as susceptible of grace in our
own they should therefore have been more con •
versant with the Illustrious Departed, than with
her mourning Survit ors and, though not design-
id, like a monumental epitaph, tor the general eye,
they should have more simply described her qua-
lity, without the numerous titles of her princely
Father and Husband. - • -

In the 'tifty•eiglit words, whereof. the inscrip-
tion. is composed, there are forty-four genitive
cases; all-consecutively involved it) several clauses,
like the connected finks of a chain. This invo-
lution is ungraceful, inartiacial; and—what is the
worst possible fault of a mortuary composition—
it is obscure. Neither, Sir, is its Latioity, even
passing over the latinized names of titles and
places, correct or classical.
The initiative word, Deposituin—whetber as a
participle; with corpus understood—or as a sub-
stantive—is erroneous. It the former, the adverb
Hie was regsli,ite, to denote the receptacle of our
illustrious Lady's retrains ; and that receptascle
itself is ill described by depo4ium, which means,
not the coffin, but the body which is placed
therein.

Neither is Regens the correct description of
our Prince's office. There is no site!' substantive
noun : and in its participial construction, which,
by the bye, would have required tl,e accusative,
Britannias, it intends the functiOn of a King, nut
of what we popularly term a Regent.
Fina is an ill chosen word, by reason of its am-
.biguity. The itiscriptiOn should have told, that
the lamented Princess was her -Father's only
Child ; not merely his only Daughter. The dis-
tinction is a wide—and to England-an unhappy.one,
Cansortisque is an ungraceful expression.

The Latin name of Meissen, the Saxon city which
supplies one of, the illustrious. IVidower's titles,
is illisna ; not diisnia —this boveyer may be
only an error of the -transcriber for the Press. '

M. Angles, President by seniority of the Cham-

of the PriOcess Charlotte, all the English vessels
in the French Ports displayed the lignal of

mourning.
The procedure regarding the individual named
Brisuard, calling himself Charles of Navarre (the
pretended Dattphio), has been terminated by tl►e
.Tuge d'lnt.:.;r;ction at Rouen, and transmitted to
the King's Procurenr of the Tribunal de Pre-
mi6.re Instance to adopt conclusion. The Jour-
nals ‘vhich have stated that the Tribunal had de-
clared its inc nnpetence were ill informed. The
great number of witnesses which are to be exa-
mined, and their distant residences, will not Aux
the Court to take up this affair in less than a
month or six weeks.

ATTF.NIPT AT ROBBERY AND MURDER,. -On
Thursday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, as
Mr. Cuthbert, the turnpike-gate keeper at Wheat-
ley, in Oxfordshire, was returning home from
Oxford, he was stopped near the two-mile stone
by two footpads, one of whom seized the reins of
his bridle, whilst the other laid hold of him by
the left arm and dt;manded his money or his life.
On Mr. Cuthbert making. some resistance; the
villain who had hold of him gave him a desperate
stab in the left side with a.dirk, and a second in
the thigh; Mr. Cuthbert knocked him down with
the butt end of his whip, and, spurring his horse,
rode'over the other fellow who held his bridle,
thus effecting his escape. He now lies danger-
ously ill at Wheatley. He had that day been re-
ceiving a large sum of money at Oxford, which
he had about him at the time, and it is suspected
that the villains were not unacquainted with the
circun:srance.

MFLANCHOLY EVENTS.—We have to record
two very afflicting circumstances that happened
last week in the neighbourhood of Windsor. It
will he recollected that on Sunday se'nnight, Mrs.
Revell, an amiable Lady of fortune and great ra-
spectability, the affectionate mother of ten chil-
dren, ,vho had been on a visit to Brighton, with'
her ho,hand and family, left her house privately,
And was found a corpse on the beach, nearly
fronting the Marine Library, at Brighton. The
disconsolate husband returned with his motherless
family to their residence at Inglefield-green. Such
a powerful effect had the melancholy loss of his
wife upon his mind, that, in a paroxysm of mad-
ness, he shot himself in a few days afterwards.
Thus,,in a short space of time, are ten young
children left orphans, under an accumulation of
afflicting circumstances that no power of language
can express.--The - other melancholy catastrophe
it that of B. Woods, Esq. formerly an eminent
Solicitor in Mark-lane, who had for some time
been under the care of his brother, residing at
Win terlield , owing to mental derangement, brought
on by intense application to his profession. His
brother, cautions in removing every deadly instru-
ment lying about the house for more than nine
months, accidentally left a fowling-piece in his
way which he had been shouting with last Mon-
day, and in a few minutes afterwards Isis unfortu-
rsate brother took up the piece and shot hhuself
through the heith
