Ills decease will make a great noise in
England; the people will be required to
mourn by authority there will he a splen-
did funeral, and then a splendid coronation
OF his successor. These pompous cere-
monies will cost the people several millions
OF dollars; in other respects, their burdens
Will be the same they were before. Sir
Walter Scott will write grand description
OF the coronation, and the devotees of fash
ion, pomp, and show in the United States
VIII read and admire it, and some, perhaps,
will regret that similar fooeries are not ex-
hlblted in this country. A Connecticut pa-
per suggests that it would be well for Eng
land to have cast iron king such an one
would be as good as any, and would pre-
vent the occasional expense of great pub
llc mourning, as such king could not die,
all the inconvenience and expense of de :
mise and new coronation would be avoid
ed, and millions of the hard earnings of the
people be saved.
The Wakefield, Eng. y Journal con-, Aains
that the anticipated decease of the king has
an unfaVorable influence upon manufactures
OF fancy kind. If the king dies, all must
dress in mourning, and fancy articles will
not be in demand. "This," SAYS the Boston
Courier, "speaks volumes of the evils OF
royalty, and the criminal folly of fashion,
that the sickness of one individual is suffi-
clent to throw out of employ hundreds OF
men, each of whom is endowed with affec-
tons as holy, and perhaps purer, each OF
whom feels pain as acutely and ENJOYS
pleasure with more zest, and each of whom
is the center of circle quite as affection
ate as that which surrounds the couch OF
majesty"
1t appears by the following article from a
London paper that the clergy of the estab-
lished church cannot pray in public for the
recovery OF the king without form of words
prescribed by the lords and bishops.

although his Majesty the King of England
had been sick for six weeks, and had been

the pondrous machinery Of the state relig-
ION has prevented the clergy and people
of the establishment from praying in their
assembled capacity, for his restoration. A
cabinet council it seems must be held, and
the lords temporal, as we'll as spiritual, oil
which 1t is composed, must agree as to the

matter being settled, the kings printer must
be employed to print off the form, and then
the paper must be sent to the clergy in all
parts of the kingdom. eff prayer he of any

happy for his Majesty that there are in his
kingdom SO many congregations of Dissent.
