We are III in deep afflictior here. The ~hoe
British empire is in mourning, aud " solemn
weeds OF woe" betoken uniyeEsal gloo,n And
wat, you will inquire, is the cause TIE melau
choly cause, Of the national sadness Has she
whole Greoian population been massacTeeti, with

No. Have the lrish Catholics rebeIied and
hutchered the mild and nohensive Protestapty Of
that kingdom No. Has IRE, or pestilrncr, or

der M mach ms you do the Thrift lave, must
needs inform you that tho Princess Charlotte
Augusta Matilda Il like To 81 the whole name

thirty years ago 90 the German Z jtcntate OF

worlds farm on the Gennassee river. Since
the period OF her august nup,als she has visited
her native country only two or three times---ali
copneKion with II, either political or personal,
had pretty much ceased - new generation
has sprung up which knew not her queenship,
but which 10 nevertheless in sore af.lictinn for

But although one eye 10 red with weeping,
the other is bright with langhing--noi for . dead
queen, but for a live one-.-not for an old queen

The important news that the royal baby of
Brazil had actually landed at Falmouh--had
actually wiih her little pretty, precious, royel
feet pressed the sacred soil OF Britain, has pro-
badly reached you. After having been jaunsed
about with the countess of I-ts ga-ii-pe from
Falmouth TO Bath. and from Bath TO london,
tina little Maria was lodged, as all the world
knows, in Albemarle street, where she has been
exposed from time TO time, to the gaze of the
great vulgar within, and the little vulgar without
the doors of GIilliols Hotel. TO crafty the

Grace of Wellington should have surrendered his
