The LORD MAYOR bad yesterday an interview with
the SINCRETARY OF &FATS on the subject. His Lord-
ship, inconsequence, has determined that no business
whatever, as connected u ith the Magistracy of the

Guildhall will be completely closed. The Loan
Maivort intends also to issue notices, calling upon his
Felliw-Citisens to close their shops and houses; to
suspend alllusiness, and to attend Divine Worship
on the mournful occasion. It is further proposed by
his Lordship, that not only the great bell of Saint
Paul's, bat that all other church bells throughout the
City, should coating* to toll ai intervals ekch day.

the funeral.

Day succeeds to day without any sersible dimi-
nution of the grief which weighs so heavily upon the
Royal Parent. and the Illustrious Consort. The
Pauccx Renoir, it is -understood, has particularly
suffered from the effects of his,viiit to Claremont...-
Beside the t ielancboly meeting with a Son-in-Law,
whom he had hoped to have. seen under so much
better auspices, his Royal' Highs's'', it is said, in-
sired on taking a last look 'at the 'remains 'of a
Daughter whom he bad so fondly cherished. The
shock was, as might have been anticipated, intense;
and its results were such as to cause momentary ap-
prehension and alarm ; liurthey have since subsided,
ani the REORNT remains as before he went to Clare-
mont deeply affected by his loss, but able to restrain
his grief within the bounds of reason and modera-
tion. Until the Funeral is over it cannot be expected
that Prince latoPoto's health can be much improved.
Continuing in'lhe same house with the mortal re-
mains of all that he held dear on tail), hourly con.
templating the sad preparations for that solemnity
which is to separate him even from those poor re-
mains foi ever, pusing sleepleu nights and agitated
dAys, it is no wonder that his body, though young
and manly, cannot wholly bear up against so much
agony of mind. A long lapse of time is necessary
.isilds.slitimmosca to calm his spirits, and to-bring with the consolations
of religion, peace to his.bosoat awl health to his frame.

si It gives us great pleasure to record the patriotic
and sympathetic feeling of this loyal town and its
vicinity, on the death of our de:irand ever to be la-
mented Princess Cnaarortz. On the arrival of the
melancholy tidings (first, and most pathetically com-
municated to us by the STAR), an universal gloom
pervaded the whole place, and every kind of business
and gaiety was in a moment at an end. The unwel-
Come news was soon"imended to the adjoining vil.
Sages, and among them that of Longparish was one
of the most' conspicuous in anxiety to manifest its
grief on the mournful occasion : the minute bell
there toiled from six in the evening till midnight,
and an evening service was performed, with appro-
priate anthems. On the following Sunday, an ex-
cellent and well-adapted -sermon was preached by
the Rev.. ROBELIT COLA, whose uniform conduct has
always been strictly in unison with his sacred o:fice,
and Ike inhabitants (at the request of blajoe HAWKER
and the other principal-residents) anticipated the ge-
neral order, by isppearingimmediately in mourning."
The following are Extracts from the Provincial
Papers '

• " OXFORD, NO EMBER 1 5.?

81 We hare often' dept over a tale of fiction—iis
have felt deeply earned by the dramatic exertion's

and have participated in the sufferings of the royal
hero or heroine; bit when we left the theatre the
illusion was past—,it .Itanishedi and, "like. the base-
less fabric ofit vieion,‘'icieft not a wreck behind."---
But now, alas 1. As image of Death is' continually
before our eyes; we Set him as just depicted by, our
inimitable Warr, mornted on the pale horse of de-
struction, dealing nut with no unsparing hand, woe,
desolation, and misery; and we hear in the sublime
langllage of Sc. John, in his Book of the Revelation,
e.e. the kings of the earth sod the great men, the rich
men und the chief 'captains, and every bondman,
and ferny keeman," crying nut, " the day of his
wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand i"

es In our retirement, we have p i;r,ted to onnelves
what was, and what new is; vse have followed the
course of events—the war svccessfrily terminated—
trade and rnsaufactuse reviving—a Meiress to the•
Throne of our country, full of health and animation, i
married to:the man she adored, and adored by the
man the married.—an English woman, born amongst
as, beloved, by all ; her character, both religious and
moral, unsullied. A few, a very few days since;
walking with her beloved eonsort in the gardens of
Claremont, and anticipating, what all fondly antici-
pated, the appearance of the pledge of their mutual
loves, the hope and the glory of themselves and the
country. Their country, full of anxiety, waiting with
impatience for a coafirmstion 'of their hopes and
wishes; preparing for public rejoicings, and viewing,
in the mind's eye, a long line of splendid progeny—a
long, long succession of Sovereigns, descendants of
our present beloved Monarch. Alas! in the bitter.
ness of anguish be it spoken. all our hopes and all our
wishes are crushed, are annihilated, for,onr PRINCOS
is dead.

64 If there be an Englishman that does not deplore,
bitterly deplore, this event, we wish him away from
the country i he should have no further sojourning
here. He can neither possess loyalty, patriotism.
nor humanity; bat we confidently trust that not one
rational individual is to be found amongst us that
done not join in the general lamentation, and partici-
pate in the general grief. Every Paper in thoiiing-
dom bears ample testimony to the feelings of all re-
sident within its circuit; in almost every city and
town, shops are prittly shut s the inhabitants are in
deep mourning ; all places of amusement Hosed ;. the
churches bung with black; wen clubs, and 'ether
:convivial meetings. suspended; and sorrow depicted
on every countenance. , . •

44 Sunday the Rey.' Dr. (large, one of our City
Lecturers, preached an 'excellent sermon before the
Corporation; his subject was very appropriate, and
taken from the 90th Psalm—" So teach us to nirriber
our days, that we may apply our bearti anti Wisdom."
In his discourse he most feelingly addrissed his au-
ditors on the melancholy subject of the deeply del
pitied loss of our lamented Princess."

The calamity which it was last weed gar mr'..n-
chuly office to announce to our Reader, !:.is nvc:.
,
spread the nation with a funereal and ttoaaatiil7
gloom. To speak of a whole people as.,l4eraly j
solved in tears, might be deemed exaggeration ;
will we say that we lament like the Egyptians, who,
stricken by the Divine wrath, awokein the morning,
and'found the first born dead in every house; yet do
we no more than justice to the public feeling, in re-
cording that the death of the Princess Cumuurrs is
a chasm in the great British family, which has im,
pressed upon every countenance the mournful traces
of a domestic afiliction."

arrival of an Express, with the melancholy and
afflicting intelligence of the death of her lloy.:1

for the Concerts were immediately discontinued, ani
the performances postponed. The party attended
Divine Service at the Cathedral the next morning ;
and at the request of the Rev. Mr. GOODCNOCCH, the
Canon in resisience, sung an Anthem from the 25th
chapter of St. Matthew-6 The Righteous are gone
to rest eternar—which was most highly appreciated
by the audience."

reign, the presumptite heirs in direct succession of Ices
house and throne are no mote. Our aged Monarch
cannot lea or*litlOW the loss: but there is a father and
I a fiuiband, and there is a loyal people, who do feel it
deeply and disconsolately. The shock which this
afflicting• event has given to the feelings of the
nition ;fru very strongly evinced when the new.:
reached this City on Sunday morning.
l'itfany persons who had crowded to the -feat
Office burst into tears when the death of the Yu -
cr.ss was announced ; and an air of more sad and ift•
preesive seriousness apyeared in the cnunteu:r:e
the crowds, who thronged our streets and Pacts eij

the great solemnity of the Christian Church. 'f'ls
expression of the public sympathy (unlike the ustud
mourning for Princes), is, nn the present occasico,'
not less genuine than it is general. The Jtnial;:e
virtues of this young Princess, the bright promize er
her early life, her connubial happiness, the editying
picture of domestic economy, and of exemplary hem.-
vole:lce which she held out, her well known co3s::te-

every part of the country the severest emotions of

The character of the PtoNcEsa stands very high
in every relation. Her piety, benevolence, and kind-
nts, to the poor, and affectinn fur her friends, obi.
lained her universal 1:A?e .ind respect. She was emi-
nently fortunate in berm nriage, and was accustomed
to call herself the happiest of women. Though her
wiemsures and amusements were hitherto all domestic
gave sufficient pr .mise, by her attachment to just
orinciples ut polit*s, that when higher aims came
iithin her reach, site would have been delighted to
forward the happiness of her people.
In political respects her loss is peculiarly lamen.
table. There is a child to any British branch of
the Brunswick tamiiy; and it is impossible to avoid
aprehension for the succession. A marriage was
~me time ago iiimoured between the Duke of KIM?
iine of the Princesses of Sams•Cosonao, the sisters

promising an union should be consummated."
