LAUNCESTON. NOVEV/DER 26.

The death of our much beloved and amiable Pets-
cess was acutely telt by' the inhabitants of this town. I
who were anxiously anticii,ating the glad tidines that !
she was become the happy mother of an heir to a
justlrenvied throne. In the national disappointment I
we participated, but in the death of so amiable' a
woman, each one felt that he had lost a near and
dear relative. On the day of her interment every
shop was shut and btisine,s siispended : tie Chute!)
and Dissenting Chapels were hung with black, and
the greater pan of the inhabitants were attired in
4, the trappings and the snits of woe." The Evening
Service co.nmenced at sit o'clock, when the Corpo•
ration. preceded by the Clergyman, walked in deep
Mourning to their seats, and heard an excellent Ser-
mon from Ecclesiastes'•', verse '2, tt /Per that is the
end of all men; and the living will lay it to his
heart." And it were needless to add, that where
grief was so acutely felt, the eulogiums. at all the
places of worship, on our departed Pamela, were
accompanied by the tears of the auditors. •

. Mr. Peet, has written to the Mayor of Cork, inti- I
mating, that orders had been issued to the Inspector
of Windows and Hearths, with a view to have those
which have been closed line, the last year, re-opened,
free of duty, wherever it may be deemed necessary
to the health of the inhabitants.—We are glad to ob-
serve this act of humane concession—but wish the
eery. 'Fleet had been somewhat extended. It is not
the few windows which have been closed within the
last year, but the windows alter windows which daily
increasing poverty have obliged the people to shut
up for a long precession of years, that has produced
that maximum of eloserm, :apish has been the. great
source of that wide-spreading lever which has ot late
committed such ravages on the population of Ireland.
Why is not a tax so abhorreat to humanity repealed
altogether ?
We are.assnred that the British Government has
signified its intention to give permission to any of the
followers of BoNAPARTF at St. Helena, to quit that
Island, who may apply for leave so to do.
Letters' from Itos:i t state that the Emperor and
the Imperial Family will return to Petersburgh the
latter end of the present month: They have given
up their intention of passing the winter at Moscow,
on account i t the advanced pregnancy of the Grand
Duchess Alexandiina, whose accouchement is to take
place at Petersburgh. The Emperor will pass some
time at Wars.iw towards the close of the winter.

COVENT-Q.AUDES THEATRE. SHAKSPFARE'S de-
lightful Comedy of Much Aio dhow Nothing was per-
formed last night. Mr. C. KEMBLeB Bentdict is, in
our opinion. one of his very best parts; but the no-
velty of the evening was Miss BRVNTON'S Beatrice.
This young Lady continues to improve ; the want of
energy that impeded the effect of her first attempts,
seems gradually to here given plice. to bolder feelings
as her acquaintance with the audience increases. The
Beatrice was a sprightly unaffected performance
throughout. The arch playfulness of her manner was
well adapted tc• the early scenes pf the play, and her
indignant reproaches against the slanderers of flee*.
were uttered with more spirit thad we could have ex-
pected from an) effort ofainspassiened declamation
we had hitherto witnessed from her. With proper
allowance tor. her youth and inexperience, the im-
portant undertaking of last night is entitled to a high
degree of praise.
