BRIGHTON, JANUARY 7.

Very early yesterday morning an express ar#red to Mr Secretary
Cauensa,whe had been with us two dayo,bringing the adlieting intel-
ligence of the death of his Royal Highness thesDoke of Tone. The'
melancholy event was presently communicated to the town, and,
though net altogether unexpected, the shock it produced wee equally
'painful and visible awing all classes of mur population. The win-
dows of the shops remained with the shutters up, as on the
Sab-
bath ; and the great bell, in the venerable tower of St. Nicholas, was
tolled at intervals throughout the day. In the streets every
countenance was tinged with sorrow ; the promenades were,
deserted ; and morcely en equipage was to be perceived on the
chives. The projected Twelfth night pleasures were entirely given
up, aud despondency assumed dominion where hilarity was wont to
reign. The seem has been but little chaneestte day; nor, from the
deeply wounded feelings of our community, is *sty material alters-
don very suddenly to be expected. At the Pavilion all is silent
gloom, and without any increase to the Royal establishment. The

Right Hon. &cram', Mr. Cumuli), is yet remaining with his
*amiable family, at that new residence, on the Marine Parade. The
military hare. rank and die, u well aa epaulettes sod waving plumes,
bear the deprivadon of their Royal Commander-in-Chia, as that of
a relative or Mend, most deeply seated is their affections, and
whose loss Obey regard as ire rabk.
