The English Ladies, as well as ail the English who
ate in this city wear, at tins rnernent, deep mourning,
,lor the death of the Princess CHAtmorta.

It is observed also, that for setae days past 'no
English are seen at the Theatre.—That in Englar.d
pnbiic respect imposes on individuak the necessity of
submitting to privations, this one easily understands;
but when in a foreign country the Engliall volunta•
rly impose upon themselves sacri6:es which attest
their grief at the loss they have sustained, one cannot
help recognizing that national spirit which products
prodigies; and which so boldly proclaims the attach.
ment of Ebitons to the laws which rule, and the
Royal Family which governs them.
Boon Barbier, Vice-President of the Aulic Coun-,

rations, will remain in that city a considerable time
longer. His wife, who was at Brussels with her
family, is gone to join him.

DRURr LANE THEATRE.

The respect paid to the existing moat unfeigned
state of public feeling, by opening this House last
night, arid then for a charitable purpose, and allow.
ing no performance to take place, except a most so•
!emn and appropriate selection of music, is entitled
to the warmest praise; and the conduct is proved by
the event in b‘e as politic as decorous, for the general
opinion is loud in its praise, and we have never wit-
nessed, upon any occasion, a fuller assembl.rge of
gond company than were collected last tight. The
PR:NCR REGENT kindly gave up his private box. The
free list was suspended, and not an order admitted :
nevertheless every seat in the pit and galleries were
occupied long before the rising of the curtain, and
before the conclusion of the first act the boxes were
equally full. Upon this occasion the Theatre was
hung with funereal emblems ; the pillars were en-
twined with bands of black cloth, which were secured
at the capitals by knots of white ribb inds. The boa
usually occupied by the Princess CHARLOTTE was
hung with black, the draperies and front being rat I
the same ; and over it was an escutcheon, with the
arms of Prince Learow and his Consort, the latter,
in a sibie field, and ornamented with true lovers
knots in wlfn • rihb ind. Tne effect of the whole was
evrem-ly affecting, and operated very perceptibly
upon the company, who, during the whole evening,
manifested a state of mind highly creditable to the
national character. The music, selected by Sir
Gcoitna Sawn., and performed under his direction,
was most judiciously chosen, every part of it being
exactly Adapted to the occasion. It commenced with
MOZART'S Requiem, one of those pieces of such uniq se
interest and powerful genius, as probably will never
be exceeded. The composer here with daring hand
At one moment plunges into all the depths and int►i.
cacies of harmony, which at the next resolves itsi if
into a simple, pure, and we had almost said, celestial
strain, replete with beauty and the lii,;hest devo-
tional feeling. Miss ISERNE, when the first part was
about to close, sung HANDEL'S besiutiful composition,
" Angels, ever bright and fait.
" Take, 0, rake Aer to your we !"
with infinite sweetness and taste, and was loudly en-
cored.---The next striking performance was the Dead
March in Saol, which began the second part. This
is in the simplest, yet the grandest style. At its
conclusion, a deep silence pervaded every part of the
house, when Mr.. BARTLEY rose to recite the follow.
ing Monody, written for the occasion, by TDOMAs
CAMPBELL. Esq.

Britons! although our tdsk Is but to shew
The scenes and passions ot fictitious woe,
Think not we come this night without a part
In that deep sorrow of the public heart,
Which like a shade bath darkeli'd every place,
And moiaten.4l with a tear the manliest face.
The bell is scarcely busied in Windaor's i.iles,
That tolled a requiem through the solemn aisles
!tar her, the Royal Flow's, low laid in dust,
That war your fairest hope, your fondest trim.
Unconscious of the doom, we dreamt, alas !
That e'en these walls, e'er many months should pass,
(Which hut return sad accents 'or her now,)
Perhaps had withess'd he: benignant brow,
Cheer d by the voice ye would have rais'd on high
In bursts of British love and loyalty !
But Britain, now thy Chief, thy people, mourn,
And Claremont's home of love is left forlorn ;
l'here, where the happiest of the happt dwelt,
The scuicheon gloonts—and Royalty bath felt
A grief that every bosom feels its own-
-1 he blessing of a father's heart o'erthrown—
The most belov'il and most devoted bride
Torn from au agoolited husband's side,
Who, long as Memory holds her si.w, shall view
That speechless, more than spoken, last adieu !
When the filed eye lung look'd connubial faith,
And beam'd ae*.:ciion In the name of death !
Sad was the pomp that yes er night beheld,
As with the mourner's heart the anthem
‘r bile torch succeeding torch illum'd each high
And baatter'd arch of England's chivalry—
The richsplumed canopy—the gorgeous pall—
The sacred march—and sable.vested wall—
These were not rites of inexpressive shew,
But 1 allow'd, as the types of real woe.
Daughter of England ! for a nation's sighs,
nation's heart went with thine oils...gulfs;
And oft 'bail Time revert a look of grief
04: thine existence, beautiful and brief!—
Fair Soffit ! send thy blessing from above
To realms white thou art eationYd by love ;
Give to a father's, husband's bleeding mind,
* The peace that Angels lend to human kind;—
Ts us, who in thy keel remembrance feel
A sorrowing, yet a soul ennobling zeal,
A loyalty that touches all the best
And tattiest principles of England's breast;
Still may thy name speak concord from the tomb,
Still in the Muse's breath thy memory bloom—
They shall describe thy We, thy form pourtray;
But all the love that mourns thee swept away
'Tis not In language or expressive arts
o palet—yefed is, Britssis, is per hearts !

After the lull, rich effect of an orchestra on the
ear. the tone of a speaking voice is generally dull
and monotonous. Here it was made sacred by the
subject. The audience. many of them moved to
tears, listened with the deepe►t attention. Mrs. BART-
LEY herself could with difficulty proceed, and at the
conclusion neatly fainted.

" When the ear heard her, tben It blessed ber—and when the

eye saw her it love witness of ber.
" She delivered ;he poor that cried :
" The tatherless, and him that bad none to help him.
" Kindliest, meekness, and comfort were in her tongue:
' If there was any virtue, or any praise, she tivou‘bt on those
things."

Toe words are sublime, and the music is exqui•

Truly, 4, when the ear heard her. then it blessed her"
—truly, " when the eye saw her, then it gave witness
of her.."" In a lew words, these sublimely-simple
expressions, applied to the Princess CHatut.orre. gives
us her history —a brief history—a history where no-
thing evil is to be found—a history of unvaried good-
ness. It isronsolatory to reflect on such a history—
it ie pleasing to speak of her who has left such an
example :
" Of those who wraped in earth in rob,

audience were next gratified with the song of " Gen.

on the violoncello. This WAS also encored. Mess
GOODALL'S unaffected simplicity, her correct taste,
and melody of voice, were never more apparent.
§he sang with great pathos, and seemed to be im-

pressed by a recollection of the nom,. ,;t,
ettrivetl at Claremont, upon one of the v ry last occ4-
silos that music and cheerfulness resounded within
the walls of that now melancholy m nsi,m.
The third part consisted 0 a selection horn the
Sacred Oratorio of aX»• Mosiah. It w.is perfectly
approptiate, and was well performed. Mrs. SAL-

Trumpet shall sound," mtis he selected as proofs of
pre eminent skill, where all were excellent.

Much praise is due to Sir G. SMART, who, almost
at a moment's notice, arrasged so 'perfect a perlorin.
AtICC. Mr. H. SNIAitT led the band with the .itnlity
of a perfect mister. The audience, with scarcely an
exception, were Whited in mourning.
A Lady, who is at present nameless, generously
sent a subscription of 02J to Drury-lane The.,tte
last night, towards ni.it cl.iss of Performers for whose
benefit the Oratorio was given.
