FOR THE SUN:

MR. EDlroß,—The suggestion of W. G. C.
in a respectable Morning Paper, that a Sabscrip-
tion should be opened throughout the Country,
for the erection of a Monument to the Memory of
the illustrious PRINCESS whose death the Public
so universally, and so justly deplores, is deservin
of attention and support. The highest Subscrip-
tion should hot-exceed a certain amount, and the
smallest Contributions should be received. if this
idea is adopted, it will reflect a lasting honour on
the affection, loyalty, and correct feeling of the
Nation ; and enable toitranstnit to posterity
farther evidence of the taste, skill, and ability of
OUR ARTISTS in these, times.
Weduesday T. W.

Captains Alowc, BRADSBIDGE, and DAVIS, of
the Sth (or King's o►vn) regiment, are now under
trial in Ireland, for haying refused to accept bread
for their companies, as issued wider I he orders of
Lieu►tenant-Coltlnel onliaisON, commanding the
regiment, and for having- supplied their compa-
nies with bread at a cheaper ruie.
On Tuesday morning early a short stout Tn2n
with light hair, and madied with the Small k'ox,
culled at N`o. 7, King-street, Finsbuiy-square,
with a note, and said he wanted an immediate,
answer. While tie servant went up stairs, he
ran off with a gold watch and chain, a silver
hotter knife, marked with a cypher G. Al. D. and.
tliilk jug.

At an early hour the bells .throughout the entire
extent of this great metropolis tolled the funeral
knell, which was resumed at intervals during the
day, and continued -until 12:o'clock at night,
Among them the deep.and melancholy tone of St.
Paul struck Upon the ear with a force and effect
greatly exceeding all its melancholy associates-.
The Standard on the 'Power was hoisted at day-.
break, half-staff high; and the example was fol..
lowed by every vessel in the River that had an
Ensign or a Union Jack to display. In the diffes
rent sea-tot is minute guns were to be fired at night
and every 'ship of every Nation was to hoist
their colours half-mast high.—ln all the parishes
the parochial children were partly dressed in mourn
ing. The scene around us was oneof universal mourn-
ing, All the upper classes were in full suits of
black, and the persOns evin' in humblest life were
not w ithout some mark or emblem of sorrow.--
Divine Service was performed in all the Chnrchei
and Chapels of every religious sect and persuasion.
Eleven o'clock was in general the hour elf its corn.;:
mencement. A few, minutes before that hour,
the crowd that had assernbled about St. Paul's,

waitingfor the opeuing of the doors, Was mar
than sufficient tg• fill that spacious edifice. It,
blocked up the streets so as to render them
most impassable. Westminster Abbey was also
crowded to excess, its
,were likewise all the other
Churches and Chapels,' which displayed the like
sombise appearance, the saute religious and pions
tentime'nts, mixed with melancholy regret ; a;A
this great metropolis, embracing a population of
1,200,000 souls, was seen at one and the sane

hour, in one great body, hutithling itself before
God in solemn prayer Hod devotion.
The time fixed upon for the remo;al of the
Bodies of the Princess CHARLoTTE and her infant,
was six o'clock on Tuesday evening, from Clare-
mont, tvhich was cot reedy attended to. Antinte...
tows party of the 10 li, or Prince Regent's" Own,
arrived at five o'clock ; several u ere stationed at
proper distances in the Park, near the paling, to
prevent the populace from breaking over, and other
disorders. At the a ppoitite!! time a mourning coach
and six beautiful black hot ses (hove up to the front

of the grand entrance of the mansion-house; soon.

aftenvards the coffin, containing the infant and
.
urn, were brought out and placed in the coach;
directly afterwards Sir ROBERT GARDINER and
Colonel ADDENBROKE came out and entered the
coach. The heat se then drove up, and the State
Coffin, containing the remains of the PRINCESS,
was brought 1,,)y ten men, and placed in the hearse ;
it then drove off, dra'wn by eight beautiful black
horses, and went completely out of sight, to avoid
the PRINCE seeing it when he came out. The
coach which was to convey him, being announced
to be in readiness, his Serene Highness came out
and entered it, attended by the Rev. Dr, SHORT,
in his full rubes.

The Baron lIARDENtutocK, two Gentlemen
Ushers, Lady JOHN THY NNE, Mrs. cAMPBELL,
Mrs. LEwrs • Mrs. Pnirm Ps, &c. went in the other
mourning coaches. Nothing was heard but the
deep sighs and sobbings of the afilicted spectators
who were admitted upon the occasion-. The whole
was conducted evith► the greatest regularity by Mr.
Maasn, of the Lord Chamberlain's Otlice, and Mr.
Bawl-LNG, the undertaker. The procession began
to move before balf-past sly, precededhy upwauis
of 30 horsemen, thice abreast, in black silk scarfs
and hat-bands. The whole was followed by a
party of the 10ilt 6t Prince Regent's Own.
Dragoons. Both Walton Bridge and Hampton.
Court Bridge were mentioned with confidence as
the way in which the procession would proceed ; it
C.l7as at length finally determined to go ov,v' Walton
Bridge. The ComMander-in-Chief had ordered
Genet al BOLTON to direct a party to ride over the
two toads, :Intl report which was the best, and in
consequence of their report being iu favour of
Walton, that was preferred.

Great numbers of horsemen and pedestrians fol..
The bells of the, different Churches in the
towns and villages through which it passed tolled
in solcrnn sounds. The roads and streets were

thronged with "spectators ; every shop and house
‘vere closed, and the most marked grief and re-
spect wras Oetrtiby all the srctatOrs. At &glom
the esco:t of the 10th Regiment was relieved hy'n
party of the Royal Horse•!Guards, "who hail left
Windsor about eight o'clock for that purpose.
The procession did not enter Windsor till a little
before two o'clock, where-there was a great con-,
course of people, who had been waiting some hours
vigWit. Windsor has notibeen so full of com-
p3ny since the last Installation. The rimAins of
the Princess were received. at the Lower Lodged
cry a party of the Yeomen of the Guard, %rho car-1
He& Ite coffin. A Guard of -Honour from the 3:11
Reginteut of Fmit.Guards, who are goartered at)
kViotltor, 'were stationed tt• the outside of thl

L.ldbe.

Piiiice Leopold, - his attendants, and

others in the-mourning coaches, alighted at the
Lodge. The coach containing Cie body of' the'
Infant and the Urn drove to the Chapel, where
was received by the. Dean, and deposited in the
vault wiihout any Church service.'
Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the road
leadity, from London and Other places to Windsor'
were thronged with carriages or all descriptions,l
ik perso,ns all respectably dressed in deep mournj
nig. Great numbers experienced a disappoint-1
mew, it hawing been generally understood thal

the Princess was to lie in state, whereas, on ac-
o m
rma of the smallness of the premises, and thei'e t ~..:
being uo passage to enter and reotrn, those per-0
sons only were admitted who had pass tickets.
The room that the corpse entered %viis hung with ,
black, and the. adjoining room, where it wile
placed', was certainly fitted Up in a style for lying:
in state. A hrge black velvet .pall on the eotlin,.l,
with 'a
large white border lying on the ground,4
which, as well as the whole 'ohm, was covered
-c,itli black cloth. Ort the coffin,was the Princess's
crown, and at the head of the coffin, against the
wall, was a large escutcheon of silk, similar to'

hole occasionally placed' on the fronts of houses.
Three-large wax-candles were.oii each side— of Tile

c4,rfiu ; also numerous small wax-candles were

burning on ail sides of the room.
