DATENT HARPS.—SCHWIESO and Co.,
in returning thanks for the extensive patronage with which
they have been honoured, are happy to inform the Nobility,
.Gentry, and Musical World in general, that they have just ob-
ta,:ned his Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for a new and brilliant
IMPROVEMENT on the HARP. It has been ever a subject
of complaint, and the Makers' attention strongly directed to re-
move; those unpleasing jars to which Harps have always been
found subject--a desideratum, 'however, -tilt now, unaccomplish
ed: Schwieso and Co.'s Patent will be found effectually to
remedy this defect, ' giving a fullness and richness of tone to the
Instrument hitherto unknown, as well also as facilitating, very
considerably the movement of the Pedals. They will be happy
to give proof of this most interesting discovery to any Laker
Gentleman who will honour them with a call, at their Establish-
ment, 5263, Regent-sheet, where an extensive assortment of
elegant and brilliant-toned Harps and Piano-fortes is constantly
on Sale.

PR ICE 7D.

Naval Commissioners on the Home and Foreign Stations, point-
ing out the marks of respect to be observed on board his Majesty's
ships, on thelamented death of Field Marshal his late Royal High-
ness the Doke of York and Albany, Commander-in-Chief of his
Majesty's Forces.

As these instructions dearly express the co-operation, which it
is necessary should take place between the shipS, and the for—
tresses and batteries on this occasion, I have only to signify to
you his Majesty's commands, that the forts and batteries under
your orders, may on Saturday the 20th inst. the slay appointed
for his late Royal Highness's funeral, strictly conform thereto;
and that you will in the mean time. hold such communication
with the flag,' or other officer commanding the Vessels of the
Royal Navy along that portion of the coast, over which your
authority extends, as shalt ensure the due execution of his Ma-
jesty's commands,

Yon will he 'pleased to direct, that the minute guns to be fired
from the batteries, on the day of the funeral, shall cease at sun-set ;
and that the number shall be 60 from each fort or battery where
there is no chip of war, and SO where vessels of the- Roy NOT
May be stationed. . • •I• 7

it is to he umlerstood, that where the fortress or battery is in
communication with the Royal Navy, the former is to conform
strictly as.to time, &c., to the arrangements of the latter.
I am at the same time to signify to you his Majesty's Command,
that no music shall be used either at parade or 04 09ating,
until after the funeral of his late. Royal Highness.
You will he pleased, 'immediately on receipt of this letter, to
cause the colours of the forts and batteries under your com 7
mand, to he hoisted half-staff high, and this mark of respect is
to be continued until his Royal Highness's funeral shall have taken
place! I have the honour to be, Sir, - =
Your very obedient humble servant,
H. TORRENS, -Adjutant-General.

ADMIRALTY OFFICE, JAN. 8.

, . .
Sra—l herewith inclose, for your information and guidance, a
copy of the regulations which his Majesty has been pleased to
establish for the mourning of the Officers of the Fleet and Royal
Marines, on the occasion of the lamented death of Field Marshal
his Royal Highness the Duke of York and Albany, Commander-
in-Chief of his Majesty's Fortes.
I am commanded by my Lords 'COrtnissioners of the Admi.-
ralty, also to signify to'you their direction, that, immediately on
the receipt of this letter,. you cause the Royal Standard to be
hoisted half-mast high, on board such of his Majesty's ships as
are furnished with that Colthi.r ; and all the ensigns, jacks, and
pendants of the fleet to be lowered half-mast; but the flags and
broad pendants of Flag Officers and Commodores are to continue
to occupy their proper situations ; except on board such ship
where the standard is hoisted, and where a flag'or broad pendant
is at present hoisted at the main, in which case such flag shall be
shifted to the main top gallant mast head of some other ship of
the squadron, and the broad pendant of the Commodore shall be
shifted to the foretop mast head of the Commodore's ship; and
thirty .minute guns, and no more, shall be fired from such ship or-
ships as you may direct.
.These colours shall continue flying in this manner, on home
stations, until sunset on Saturday the 20th instant, the day ap-
pointed for the funeral of his Royal Highness; and, on Foreign
stations, till sunset on the seventh day from the commencement of
the mourning.

And on the said 20th instant, and the said sevehth day, re-
spectively, each ship, where there are more than one present, is
to fire in succession thirty minute guns, so as to terminate at
sunset.

As his Majesty's forts and garrisons, at home and abroad, have
orders for firing a similar number of minute guns, you will -com-
municate with the commanding officer of any fort or garrison in
your vicinity, who will have corresponding directions from his
department, in order that the firing of the minute guns- by the
ships and forts in succession may terminate at sunset.
If any ship or vessel under your orders be stationed alone iu a
Situation in which you deem it proper that she should mark the
last day of these ceremonies by firing minute guns, you are.to di-
rect her Captain to-fire 60 minute guns, so as to terminate at sun-
set, if she he not in the vicinity of a fort ; but if she should be in
the vicinity of a fort, 'her Captain is to cOmmunicate with the
Commander of the Fort, and is to fire thirty guns, which number
also the fort will have directions to fire, the whole to terminate at
sunset.

I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant
J. W. CROKER.

All the shops in the metropolis were yesterday partially closed,
and will continue so until after the funeral ; and on the day the
funeral takes place, they will be closed altogether.
It is anticipated, that their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of
Clarence, Sussex, and Cambridge (if he should arrive in time),
will follow as Chief Mourners. All his Majesty's Ministers and
great Officers of State will also be be present.
It was a subject of melancholy reflection to those gentlemen
who were yesterday engaged in giving directions for hanging the
new State Rocim with mourning drapery, that only a year and a
half hack, the Illustrious Individual for whom these last tributes
of respect were preparing; had appeared in that very room, at a
ball given by his Majesty, in the full vigour of health, and in the
enjoyment of the most buoyant spirits—he is said never to have
appeared more happy. Previous to supper he danced several qua-
drilles, and subsequently, on leading some ladies back to the joy-
ous scene, he exclaimed, "Come, let us have a country dance—
let us go back to the days of our childhood, and forget that
we are not still young." The music immediately struck up,
and he went down the dance with as much grace and high spirits
as nine-tenths of the young Nobility by whom he was sur-
rounded.
