The queen was apprized of the melancholy
catastrophe on Thursday and the cummuni-
cation affected her majesty so mach, that, we
regret 10 hear, she has ever since remained
confined 10 her room, seriously indisposed:
The effect upon the princess and lie duke #
Clarence, is also most distressing. The royal
duke received the dreadful communication
while partdking of the festivities in honor of
her majesty in that city. de instantly, in sor-
rowiui silence, rose and left the room and the
marquis OF CaiBdeh having with feelings of
anguish that almost deprived iI,m OF tile pow
or of uiterance, made known the iamentable
Cause OF the refinement OF the royal duke, the
company instantly dispersed, overwhelmed in
grief.
All the institutions have suspended their
meetings. We have received the following
notice from the royal society, among others:
The rCSa society OF London assembled at
their apartments, OH Thursday night, but on
account of the death of her royal bighness the
princess Charlotte, adjourned their meeting,
without proceeding to business, iii The funeral
n her RIVAL hionHgSs shall have lax n'.ce.

of this month, for the purpose OF giving not
of the approaching anniversary election. and
