DRAGOON GUARDS.

" Amidst the desponding scenes produced by the
death of the late lamented Putxcass, we hear that
there was none.perhaps more affecting than that ex
hibited by her Royal Highness's regiment, the sth
Dragoon Guards, now quartered at Ipswich. Every
member of this distinguished corps, not only gloried
in its title, but had a reverence and affection for the
illustrious person from whom it was derived ; and,
under the influence of these dispositions, they were
preparing to celebrate, with adequate eclat, the pro-
pitious event so eagerly expected. On receiving,
therefore, the melanchey intelligence of her death,
consternation Abed dismay were painted in the coun-
tenances of all, men as well as Officers, whilst a
mournful silence pervaded all their meetings. The
Commanding Officer in particular, who had often
experienced the Pnmeess's affability and good nature,
was quite overcome by this calamotous event :—and
as on such an occasion every little circumstance tends
to aggravate the sensations of sorrow and regret, it
had been but just announced, that as a mar* of her
partiality for the corps, and of the attention she de-
lighted to pay her august Consort, her Royal High.
ness had suggested of herself, and actually given the
order, that a Portrait of their Colonel should appear
in the regimental uniform.w—lieth atm Nov. 20.

le3wieu, Nov. 25.
' a Wednesday last, the day appointed for consign-
ing to the tomb the mortal remains of our beloved-,
PRINCESS, the sth Dragoon Guards marched ►n tu-
mat order to the Town Church ot Ipswich. On
this melancholy occasion, tl►e drums were covered
with black velvet, all the instruments of the Band
were encircled with black crape, which was• also
borne on the arm of every man and Officer. These
insignia of mourning, the slow and measured weps
lof the soldiers, the solemn air--e The dead m :rah in
Saul'—performed by th.! Band, the impressive moral
lesson which the military order for burial et►rr con-
veys, where ' the last is first and the first last'—the
deep sorrow painted on the countenance of every in-
dividual ot the 'regiment, excited sympathetic' emo-
tions of griet in all those who were witnesses of the
solemn procession—tears were seen streaming from
the eyes of many, and hallowed are such tears. for
they were the involuntary tribute of the heart to de-
parted excellence."

Friday two Companies of the 35th Regiment landed
at Gosport, from Malta, and marched to Winchester,
where they will be joined by the remaining Compa-
