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 Hack
baize, and all the stalls hung tvith supet fine black
elotti. The Church was crowded with gentry,
~11,3„y of whom were disappointed, as the Sc r vice

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.

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.

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,

Most pious Ardibishop ! my tont'. and yOur,Gra.cel---.
tror these titles must sti:l in yniirinit're have
'ruin my furnace I write, which as terribrY ilokys;
Almost as the flame of your orthodox nose,

To 'Peril at the heretic boys who have got
Their squibs fur recording my gunpowder plot.
am journeying itpward,frotO Beelzebub's Claw.;
And tell you, that lately a letter I saw,_
your ReVerence's name, .Nshich devoutly disdain:is
The Catholic Notes to the Bible of Rheims,
:%;liips and thelr thumbscrews; their foggOtsa.nd
Haines. J
I litSpe the disclaimer is only a trick';
For, befieve. me,• it mortalli auger'd OLD N'IDR, •
ttL'ho expected your Grace would have stuck to yo'ur text; •
Pope GREGORY too was confonndedlyvext ;
At:d swore by Saint PETER, be thought you were better,
Than to start from the creed of your pastoral letter;
Which bad'an effect so delightful, awhile
Before the rebellion of Erites Crec4l isle
And as for PoPe JOAN, at this slip of your pen
Her Holinesi straightway miscarried again.

The partial opinion of good Father GARNET
Believed, that you merely were casting a far net,.
To catch, with prett4ices of patience and charity,
The heretic foOls who wcnld start at asperity;
And he knew by eact► council, and creed, and capitular,.
That your zeal was substantial, your tenderness titular.
As for me, my dear prelk!e, 1 fairly suppose
The fact is as plain as the blush on your nose,
That yoni-cunning diset;limer was merely an ]wale,
And your meekness and mildness a bundle of jokes :
For—says 1 to OLD Nick—this enlightened-Archbishop
Your dinner of Heretics gladly would dish up, -
Anti hroii any Protestant Pr,ric-.: in the:flames, '
As nicely Rs GARNET design'd for King .lAsuts,
On the orthodox proof of the Billie of Rheims.
And Fll never believe that the good Doctor TkoY
Will be worse than his teachers—now will you, toy boy?

I mu off back to LiMbo, as soon as I call turn •
The light once again in my Catholic Lantern;
But if by mischance 'tis nut brilliant enough,"
I must call on Priest MILNEK to tip it a snuff;
And your .Isuit Grace, with'a touch of the humming,
Which so neatly was practised on CoYNE and on
Shall help me to punish this Protestant Nation„
And blow up the House with your Emancipation,

The Gibbet is up; and my ellit..ry's
Where your Grace should he raised in propriq personee;
As Saint -PLo NA ET, another good Catholic Primate,
Was changed to hnng-beef in this he' etic Climate. .
The crackers are fizzing, the boys are hallooing,
And such deadly disgrace is to Popery doing,
That it rouses fire wrath of my Sul.or-t 4u-dux :
Malt. baste, my dear Doctor, and folloW
GUY FAUX.

P. S.—Your answer -direct, and post- frer it will go.

- To my Friend CURRAN, on his 'Warn to Irelund.
Cr' a FLAN, farewell across the deep,
speak to Nsrrusr.in thy favour,
TO put his saucy waves to sleep,. •
And hind them to their good behaviour.
Yet CuntiAN, thou may'st meet thy fate,
Yes—possibly my Friend he hit,
Since 'tis well known that folks of State
Ilold mortal enmity to Wit.
NwruNE, like Old llom'Ea, nod
And deem sheer Wit a danc'rous matter,
For Attic Salt, the jvak4s God •
May drench and drown thee with salt water.
And yet I see thee.undismay'd—
' E'en let the God his tempests brew--
Be not of his ,black surge a'raid,
For CuattaN is immortal too.
