WEYMOUTH, Nov. 8.

Last S►►ndav their Royal Highnesses the Duke
and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, accompanied by
Lady J. Thynne, Dowager Countess
Cttionel Dalton, and the Right Hon. T. Wallace,
heard Divine Service• at Melcombe Ch►►rch, be-
fore whom Archdeacon FUHDO preached a most
excellent sermon.

On Monday the Royal Pair paid a morning vi-
sit to Mr, and Mrs. Frampton, at Moreton. It
being the Birth-day of her Royal Highness the
Princess Sophia, the same was observed in a pri-
vate manner, at the King's Lodge, where a select
party were invited on the occasion.
Wednesday being the Anniversary of the Gun-
powder Plot, a salute was fired from the gnus at
Portland Castle, and returned from his Majesty's;
ship Tigris at anchor in our Roads.
At six o'clock rbeir Royal Highnesses and Suite,
in their respective carriages, left the King's Lodge,
and dined with Mr. and Mrs. C. Buxton, at, Bel-
field Marine Villa. The entertainment was most
sumptuous, the party select, and the whole con-
ducted in a style of splendour, becoming the rank
of their illustrious guests. At eleven o'clock
the. Royal party retired, evidently pleased with
the attentive reception shewn them. Among the
Company preSent were—Lady J. Thynne, Co-
lonels Dalton and Higgins, Governor Penn,
Sir Archibald Murray, Lieutenant-Colonel and
Mrs. Cutelitre, Captain Curzon, Surgeon Keate,
Mrs. Wheatley, and the Misses ‘Vheatley.
The afflicting news of the death of our ever-to-
be-lameitted Princess CHARLOTTE was received
by espicial express, and occasioned a deep sensa-'
tion of and sorrow, more easily conceived
than deseribed. The Palace became an immediate
scene of general lamentation, and the effect it
produced on the feelings of the Duke and Duchess
were equal to the irreparable loss the Royal Fa-
mily as well as the Country has sustained. In
consequence of this direful catastrophe, theThe-
atre, and all the public places, were shut, and the
grand Rout intended to have been given by Mr.
and Mrs. E. Henning, to which nearly 100 were
invited, was immediately put off. In short, all
ranks joined in bestowing the last tribute of ire-
speet to the memory of a Princess, whose public
and private virtues were so well known and ex-
perienced in this Town.

This day their Royal Highnesses lit Wey-
mouth for Windsor.

An Inquest was held at the sign of the Cherry
Tree, Southgate, in the parish of Edmonton, be-
fore J. W. UN w IN, Esq. on the body of Mr. James
Tiday, aged 45, corn-chandler, of Southgate.—
Verdict,—‘‘ Accidental Death." The deceased
has left a wife and five children to deplore his
loss.

•
An Inquest was held yesterday afternoon, which
continued until nine ,o!clock last night, az the
Committee Room, Middlesex Hospital, before
THOMAS" STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, on the body
of Charles Bainbridge, a boy, about twelve years
of age, who was killed on Sunday morning last
by falling from a horse. Verdict—" Accidental
Death."

A melancholy accident happened on Sunday af-
ternoon, about three miles from ‘Visbech. As
the Wisbech coach.was on its way to Boston, it
met a waggon, the driver of which was riding on
the shafts; some accounts say that the waggoner
was asleep, and the waggon on the wrong side of
the road ; others that the waggoner called to the
coachman to whip one of his horses, on account
of its sluggishness : be this which way it may,
the waggon horses were whipped by the coach-
man, when, setting off on a gallop, the jerk
threw the waggoner off the shafts, and -one
of the wheels going over his body, killed -him
on the spot. The,name.of the waggoner is Gray.
The coaohnian, whose name is Chequer, pursued
his course, but was on Sunday evening appre-
hended at Boston under the Coroner's warrant.
