TILE LATE DUCHESS OF YORK.

The following is the substance of part of a very
eloquent and affecting discourse, delivered from the,
pulpit of the Church of Walton-upon-Thames, on
Sunday se'nnight, by the Rev. Mr. HATCH, on the oc-
ration of the lamented demise of ker Royal High-
ness the Duchess of YORK :
Ecctessatlas ii. 14. " I myself perceived also, that one event
happeneth to them all."
" Whatever be the difference in rank, which the WiStIOM cf
GOD has been pleased, for the purposes of this world of trial, to
make among us, there is one event which, in the eyes even of
the most careless and unreflecting, comes alike to all. We see
the highest in rank, the most opulent in wealth, the gayest in
ritasure, the proudest in power, levelled to one common dust.
Tlat.e are the events which call man to himself and to'his Goa
It is not to make us discontented, cheerless, and wretched, that
these events, and thi thoughts which they produce, are forced
upon our souls; but it is, that we may be warned, directed, and
c Anforted—that we may be warned of the account which the

•
moat thoughtless among us must one day be summoned to give

—that we may be diiected in our discharge of those awful
duties which the trust of worldly blessings imposes upon us—th.it
we may be comforted, in viewing the. one event which happens
to all, and in reposing our whole faith and confidence in that
Amman-it Esrues, `who is loving unto every man, and whose
mercy is over all his works.' Before the eyes of all who are
now present among us, has that we event happened in its most
awful form. But a few days since has an Illustrious Lady, de-
scended from a long line of auclent Monarchs, wedded to a
Prince of our British throne, enjoying the highest rank which
cur Wand can afford, been 'mullioned from this world to ano-
ther—from time to eternity. Where is all that once distin-
guished her from those around? Where is the rank which she
held? Where is the birth by which she was honoured ? Where
are the enjoyments with which she was blessed? Alas! earth
to earth—ashes to ashes—dust to dust ! In all that the world

could give, in all that death cold take away, between her and
the poorest peasant among us, there is now no distinction—there is
now no difference. There is one event which happeneth alike
. . .

to all. Are these then no renuins of all that Whigb, of all
that 's great among us? Is all consigned, by one common
event, to one undistinguished grave? No! There is a record
of remembrance in the hands of Gon---there is a record of
remembrance even in the minds of men. happy, indeed, was
this Illustrious Lady in all the blessings of rank and power
which the world can give, but happier far in the use to which
shc applied these great—these trying dispensations of the As.-
Wenn-. With ten talents, like him in the parable, committee
to her care, there is not one of w hich she will not be able to
give her full account. She looked not for happiness ill the
gaieties and splendour of a Court ; her heart was not enslaved
by the levities of 'fashion, nor corrupted by the pride of osten-
tation ; die early retired from the gay and tempting scene—
returning only to its delusions when duty, not inclination, de-
manded her presence. The offices of religion she knew and
she fullillad, in paying homage to the public- institutions of
religion, and sanctioning them.by her constant presence. Nor
was it iu the outward act alone that her piety consisted ; her

h=art was the seat of Christian charity and iove--i.c all that was
kind and benevolent amonF us, she was the centre and thespring.
How many poor children has her bounty clothed and educated;
how many se owe all their comforts in this life, all their
hopes in another, to that anxiety and care which she expended
umna their earliest years? Look to the cottages of the aged and
pour—thither the streams of her bounty flowed—there she yet
lives—lives in the memo! y, in the-blessings, and in the prayers
of those whose age her munificence baa sustained, whose sick-
ness her care has removed, whose troubles her charity has al-
leviated. Within a few short hours we shall witness her mor-
tal remains carried to the grave, as becomes a daughter of a
Itoyal House, with the honours of funereal pump, the last sad
tohens of departed greatness. But these cannot despoil the one
common event which happeneth to all of its sting, or the grave
of its final victory. This she saw, and this she piously felt; and
under the influence of those milder feelings which adorned her

hie, it was her last desire that her remains might repose, not in,
the cemetery of the Royal line, but in a quiet and retired grave.
The sighs and the tears of the poor shall follow her to her last
..abodt—:hose shall embalm ber memory; and when even the
ritinants cf all human greatness are perished and forgotten,
these shall plead for her, even at the Bar of lilaavr..v itself; so
.that, by the mercy of our common REDIEMILM, when her last
glorious change shall come, she shall be rewarded, not with
those honours which fade away—shall exchange, the vestments
of mortality for the incorruptible robe of everlasting righteous.
ne.s—fur a crown immortal, imperishable, whichremaiaeth in
• the Heavens far ever !"

CORN-EXCIIANGF, MARC-LANP, AUGUST 21.—The supply of
Wheat was small this morning, and that chiefly consisting of
land carriage samples from Essex and Kent ; and the unsettled
state of the weather, together with very unfavourable reports of
the new crops, produced an increased demand, at an advance of
full 21. per quarter on the prices of this day se'nnighti Barley
is 2s. per quarter lower; and Oats were exceedingly dull bale at
a decline of 4s. in consequence of the opening of the ports, on
which account Beans have declined from 2s. to 3s. per quarter.
In other articles no alteration. Flour 655. to 755. per sack.
