Tire Ditawlso-noom.—His Majesty, with his usual
punctuality, arrived at the Castle on Tuesday, at a
quarter before nine o'clock, and was accompanied by
the Lord Lieutenant and the Marquess of Londonderry.
The Presentations at the Drawing-room exceeded any
thing ever witnessed in this Kingdom ; and his Ma-
jesty repeatedly expressed his admiration at the beauty
of our countrywomen, in that style of gratifying com-
pliment of which be is the master. His Majesty never
appeared to greater advantage, and the most juvenile
female presented, felt ease and confidence from his gra-
cious and condescending manner.

Lis Majesty honoured the Linen-Hall with a visit. About

occurrences of yesterday deprive us of the requisite
room.)

TF.STIMONIAtS OF RESPECT TO HER LATE
.11.1.1ESTY.

Leer's. Ana. 25.—The spontaneous mourning in
tbis place last Sunday, on the death of Queen Caroline,
was tulerall'y genera!, quite as general we think as
the compulsory mourning on the death of Queen Char-
lotte. All the pulpits in the Chapels, both of the va-
riant' classes of Protestant Dissenters and of the Me-
thodists, exhibited, we believe, this mark of respect
for the memory of the injured Queen of Ragland. The
churches. it is stated, in a Ministerial paper, were none
of them in mourning, and it was perhaps hardly to be
expected Ihit they should show such an Indication of
Christian 'oblivion to party differences. The Queen,
poor lady, had no patronage to bestow, and to have
manifested any such mark of affectionate loyalty
might Ir offensive to those who possess it. The mourn-
ing among.t individuals would no doubt have been still
more general had the Royal commands been vouch-
a.,feil, lint tat wonrn unbidden is as impossible with
some persons, as it is with I •thers to weep without the
agency oif garlic. Fashion ton has much to do in
these matters, and there are those who would rather
seglect a duty thaa be unfalleiraarablo„ awl if dm loodees
of the tote net wear a black coat, or a black deem,
who wontil he so vulgar as to appear in sables ? In all
ages the disposition has existed to inquire, "Have
any of the Rulers of the Pharisees" dose this or
that ? Anil that inquiry is just as prevalent now as it
was in the days of King Herod.
Thursday sensiglit being the day appointed for the
remora' of the realities of the Queen from England,
the sitiol.s and many private houses in Minchinhamptoo
were To ortielly closed, and the muffled bell tolled the
knell 1.1 ilepartril greatness during the day. In the

tlw inscription in white letters, si To the Memory of
our injured gown Caroline," and followed by some
hundreds of the inhabitant', whose demeanour testified
their feelings, passed through the principal streets of
the town, playing the Dead March in Saul. The
torches accompan ing the procession added much to
the solemnity of the scene. A mulled peal was rung
at seven o'clock, and repested at intervals till after
uliii•ight.
The pulpit and corporation seat, in the church of
Monmouth, which, previously to Sunday last, bad
been respectfully hang with black, by the charchwar•
dens, on account of the demise of the Queen Consort
of King George the Fourth, as had been the custom
on the decease of any part of the Royal Family, were
most indecently and disloyally stripped of their bank-
ing: by the orders, it not by the personal interference,
of the Parson and his Curate. This most outrageous
proceeding, we understand, is likely to give rise to a
very deserved prosecution for the offence, as it relates
to the Corporation. Notwithstanding this act of blgh-
iriest officioasneas, the Mayor and C,orporato.boaly at-
tended the Church with the emblems of elk" covered

nutted, a great number of individuals marched to
Church in procession, with a banner, on which the
measerable words of the dying, persecuted Queen were
I ascribed.
I memo. Ave. 23.—0 n Wednesday memoirist, in eon-
outworn of a requisition sent to the bailiffs of this town,
public meeting of the inhabitants was held at the
Town Hall, .4 tenths purpose of mangier means to
express feeling of loyal sorrow for the death of the
Queen." W. B. Clarke, Reg sae of the bailiffs was
tailed to the chair ; and Mr. Hans seed, that town clerk,
opened the business of the meeting by reeding the re-
quisition. Mr. Lairreace mad several resolutious, of
which the following was on.:—
"That the Queen of England, after triumphing in
public opinion ever the acts of a faction siesupienns• far
