GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.

No mixture of grey whatever is admitted into the
i)resent order of mourning; the udder dresses are
invariably of black silk. Black kid shoes,
With jet roses, and plain black or white silk tock-
tugs.
_

In regard to jewellery, every species of jet orna-
ments are worn ; plain roWs of large bead. seem to
have the preference above fancy nqklaces; large
\Maltese crosses are innumerable; .the long -monastic
necklaces and crosses are also much worn ; and
cameos in rings, brooches, combs, and crescents, are
in the highest estimation.; they are much used also
in necklaces large in the centre, but of a diminished
size towards the ends.'

Black is not only the entire colour, but such also
is the colour of the times, that though the metro-
thronged, there is neither gaiety or bustle in
oar streets, and so general is the mourning that
fashion is no where to be found..

STnCKHOLM, Mjesty the King
has received a second•ktter from his Royal High-
ness the Crown Prince, on his entering the first
town, of his future .kingtionl, in return for the de- I
coral ions .of the Swedish Orders, among which was
tlieGran4 Cross.. .It is as'follows:--‘:,,;

c` Conscious that the repeated honours done•ite,
not only by your Majesty, but by the Swedish Nrr-
tion, can never be recompenzed, I cannot but labour
under-great- difficulty, in the expres,inh of the gra-
titude I tees to so noble a King of so noble a Nation.
Your Majesty and the People of Sweden may rest
fully assured, that their interests -and welfare shall
ever be nearest my heart, and that I wiN rather sa-
crifice that life which they have deemed won hi or
such distinction, than suffer theth to be injured 6f
encroached upon.

" It could not, be without some degree of pin
and reluaance that I accepted the high dignity of
being made Crown Prince of Sweden, aware as I
am of my incapacity, born and .bred a- soldier,
perform the arduous and important. duties of that
station. The honours with which your MajesT has
been gracioudy -pleased to invest me; shall never he
sullied by the wearer,-and it shall be nirconstant
study to add new lustre to their brightness. 'Feeling
myself, as I have already observed, wholly ineompe.
tent 'to express my gratitude, I have
,the.great
ho-
nour
to -he your Majesty's most. humble, devoted,-
and;affectionate, " J. BBRNADOTTE."

Thursday se'nnight, obout '4 o'clock afternoon, as
a servant girl, about 17 years of age of the name of
Stewart, was going.from Glasgow to Balqulaidder,
through the Stockmoir, near the farm of Quinloch,
she was attacked by a man of a black complexion,'
with an Irish accent, knocked down, cruelly beaten,
and robbed of a bundle clothes, a new umbrella, and'
five shillings, in silver. A short time alter the vil-:
lain returned, , and found her so far recovered as to
be able to sit up, when he again beat and, b, wised
her in a most barbarous manner, and then took her
up and threw her -over a dike into 'a park. She was
found lying- on the ground speechless next day,
about IQ o'clock, by some farmers; who fortunately
were dividing cattle in the moor, otherwise she, no
doubt, would have died on the spot ; they
diately carried her to an adjoining house. Excepta
word or two which sl,e unintelligibly Uttered soon
after a cordial was given to her, it was's24 hours be-
fore'she could give any account of the transaction.
In a fdrtner paper we inet.:,tioned the alarming si-
tuation in which Mr. Plummer and his family, of
the hotel at Friestou-shore were placed by ,the re-
cent inundation. For two days they were nearly
starved 'to death,, by wet, and the want of proper
support under such a -trying calamity. As soon as
the waters had subsided sufficiently to allow a fire,
to be made in one of the apartments, a melanChofy
accident, ,of a very different kind frOm the inun-
dation, happened to Mr. Plummer.—Amongst the
.coals which vial thrown on the fire was a tin car-
tridge for a cannon, supposed to hate been washed
from.an Ametican ship wrecked on the shore, and
to have lodged in the coal4reap. It was not ob-
served until it exploded in the fire with tremendous
violence. The shock damaged the house a good
deal; but its most melancholy effect was upon the.
unfortunate Mr. Plummer, uho, sitting by the
fire, was immediatelyblinded by the explosion, and
had his face torn to pieces by the coals, driven as
if , from a gun from the grate.—By surgical 'aid' the
sight of one eye has been restored; but with the
other there is no hope of his ever seeing again.—
(Boston Gazette.)
On Monday afternoon a Gentleman arrived in a
chaise and four at Bow-street Office, from the
neighbourhood of Carshalton, and stated to Mr.
Read that he was come to town in pursuit of his
son, Who had left home early that morning for Lon-
don; and he strongly suspected for the purpose of
marrying a young woman, whom he had a very.great
objection to. Adkins was desired to attenct the Gen-
tleman. Adkins went in his pursuit fist to Doc-
tors' Commons, and inquiring if a license had been,
obtained, ascertained that one had been granted,
and that the youth was to be martied at St. George's
Church, Hanover-square, ou Thursday morning.—
Adkins and the father attended early in the morn-
ing of that day, at the Church, VThere, after waiting
some time, a man employed as a porter came into
the Church from the son to ascertain it any person
had been enquiring as to his intended marriage. The,
father iof Adkins endeavoured to make a confidant
of the Man, and gave him two guineas not to tell
they were there. Just after the man was gone, they
began to suspect he would betray them, andlollos.vel, •
him to a house in South•street ; their suspicions of
the man proved true, for he informed the. son his
father was at the Church : however, alter waiting
some time, a hackhey coach drew up,, and the son
and his intended wife came out 'of the house, and
jumped into the coach, and just as- it was about to,,
drive off, the, father and Adkins stopped it. The
son being above 21 years of age, could have perse-
vered in .his marriage, his intended wife being also
offulf age ; but Inc father, after some persuasion.
and' remonstrance, succeeded in prevailing on his
son to relinquish his intended marriage, and to go
,to the Church and cancel the license. '['hey then set
offon their return to the country, leaving the fair
damsel in London, to grieve at her disappointment.
The son is possessed of very considerablstprope, ty ;
he has lately left college.
