The German Lutheran Church, in the Savoy.—
The pulpit was Flaced near the altar, and covered
with black, as well as the canopy over it. On one
of the side walls wetc two escutcheons of the ever.to-
be.lamented Princess CUARLOTT2 and her Consort
the Prince of Saxa Coaouuu. The discourse was

The Sardinian Catholic Chapel in Duke-street,
Lincoln's Inn.fields.—This Chapel was crowded at
an early hour, the pulpit was covered with •black
cloth, and High Mass perforated in a solemn manner.

At Ely Chapel, Holborn, the Rev. Dr. Taoarz,
late from Dublin, performed Divine Service, and ad-
dressed a crowded and very respectable audience from
the following appropriAte text:—" Now, therefore,
consider your ways," in ex,iati‘ting on which, ansl
on
the :barmen and uncertainty of life, so powerfully
•exemplified in the lamented death of the Princess
CIIMILOTTS, he emphatic.lly " Thus the
Lord blasts our expectations, and has cut riff two
eenerations of Princes at a blow ; but let us turn
unto Him, and he will be a refuge from the storm,
nod a covert from the tempest to us still." After the
sermon a collection was made for the Bible Society.
Orange-street Chapel, Leicester-fields, was crowd-
ed to excess, but indeed the tame observation will
Apply to almost every Church and Chapel both morn-
ing and. evening, yesterday. The preacher, the Rev.
Mr. Levers, of Islingthn, took an opportunity of re-
v%ewing in his sermon the short, but interesting life of
.he lamented Princess CRIARLOTTg. Short, alas I in
'space of time, but long in its list of good and virtuous
actions. Among these he noticed the following anec•
dote : A Clergyman 91 the same establishment, had
silted the honour of admission to the presence of

Yesterday the Rev. Mr. Bcostazito, Clerk of the
Closet to the Putscs REGENT, attended his Royal
Highness and performed Divine Service, at which
such of the Household as did not attend the mourn-
ful soleirmities at Whit's& were assembled. His
Royal Highness did not quit his room the whole day,
and saw no person but his amiable Sister, the Duchess
of GLOUCUTER, who had repaired to Carlton House,
to Offer him all the consolation in her power in this
hour ofirial.

Hell MAJ4STY returns to Bath, with the Princess
EuzAstru, either on Tuesday or Wednesday nett.
Her departurelroinWindsor stands, at present, fixed

The last sad duties to the Illustrious Dead have
been performed. The precious remains of our de-
parted humans...the first of England's daughtersL.
the " State's fair rose and expectancy"—have been
consigned by a weeping nation to the long and silent
keeping of the tomb.
How solemn a spectacle! A great, a gallant, a
mighty-souled people, all bent in saddest sorrow to
the dust--all apparelled in desolation's ruefullest
mourning—every home forsaken, every common care
foregone—every ordinary pursuit suspended...the
knell which sounds the going down into the dwellings
of the dead, tolling from a thousand hills—the Tem-
ples of Gov, the only refuge of consolation' to the
afflicted millions ! _ _

How just the great grief our eyes have beheld !
Nor reason, nor piety forbid that we should mourn
the loss of deputied excellence—the loss of as angel
example, whose surpassing splendour might have
been a light to oar path, through this wilderness of
darkness and of sio. Like men should we evince our
fortitude—but like men also we should feel. The
" beauty of Israel" has fallen. The pride of our
land has been snatched away while we were yet in i
the fullness of our hope of enjoying many happy mid
flourishing years of peace under the auspices of her
virtues—her wisdom—her government. Althiugh
gone is her spirit to the mansionsol peace—yet is the
spirit of her country sorely troubled and east down.
The hearts of the nation were centered in her—the
bereavement is to them as a bereavement which nei.
ther time; nor happy event can repair. " This is a
lamentation and shall be for a lamentation."

Yet let no: the mourners forget how unsearchable
is the wisdom of the ALIII4IIITY-110W out of much
evil he oft produces good. Let our trust as a nation
be in Has, and not is Princes—let us seek the shadow
of his wings :nil cottfide in his mercy.

Although yesterday was observed as a day of ha-
miliatiou over the whole country, this did not proceed
from any ordinance of Government, but was the re
suit of thg perfect sweetmeat of the whole comma-
nity, in demonstration not merely of their unfeigned
grief at the death of the PUINCZU, but of their desire to
leave upon record this unprecedented mark of the
reverence in which they held her private and pub-
lic virtues. History does not afford us an in-
stance of such unequivocal, heart-telt, and universal
tribute to the shade. of any Prime or Potentate.—
Yoe fourteen successive days the nation has presented
the-affecting picture of one united family mourning

conspol. bi. sespessisid s the nether the Libraries.
and shops, are shut: the Promenade is deserted...
The churches have been opened. Several hundred
vessels at present in the harbour have their flags in
mourning, and among them ships Of all nations—
Americans, French, Russians, Danes, Swedes, &c.
join in paying this last tribute of respect to departed
greatness. In the evening, at the hour when it was
understood the body of our lamented Princess would
be consigned to the everlasting silence of the tomb,
minute guns were fired from the Pier. Tl.e silence
and beauty of the night, broken only by the distant
sound of the waves breaking on the shore, added
sublimity, if possible, to the solemnity of the occasion.
As charity and benevolence to mankind is the best
proof, and ought always to accompany, our hum-
bling ourselves before Gon, a fund has been raised
for the relief and cr mfort of such poor females of this
town as may be subjected to the " great pain and
peril of child-birth." Ladies SMITH and Foam,
and Mr. and Mrs. GUNDRY, are the benevolent indi-
viduals who have taken the lead in this appropriate
tribute, so peuliarly consoling to the feelings of the
living, and honourable to the memory of the dead."
