Henrietta ruff of white crape broad hemmed. Black velvet toque ornamented with jet, and black cypress feathers. Health and youth light their torches at her fane, and the solemn pomp of woe suits not with her varied votaries. Yet, as if presaging this dire event, never, even in the ancient courts of Spain and Portugal, was black so prevalent as it has been for this last fortnight, both for the evening costume and for the promenade. Black satin and black velvet spensers have become almost universal among the higher classes for the morning walk. Among the bounets, on the present mournful occasion, we have been favoured with the sight of one made by Mrs. Bell for a lady of high rank: it is of transparent black crape, very large, and ornament ed THE stagnation that prevailed for several weeks in the motley regions of Fashion's extensive empire, shewed that we were, in a great measure, prepared for an event which was almost to be desired by the friends of the Royal sufferer, as a sure relief from the anguish she endured, and the certain conviction that virtue meets its reward in heaven, and which reflection makes us submit with resignation to its unerring || will. Fashion is the power which is generally arrayed in the varied robe of Iris, and to whom is consecrated -" the dimpled smiles, "Such as glow on Hebe's cheek.” at the edge by a full cheveux-de-frize trimming: a superb cluster of the blossom called honesty, is laid in a kind of studied negligence between the crown and the brim; emblematic of the honest grief of a British bosom for the consort of him they still revere; while they bless for ever the generous heir apparent who, possessed of all the dear affections of nature, has shewn such unremitting and dutiful attention to his late venerable mother.* A black velvet college cap, with a plume of cypress feathers, is n high favour; and a large black satin bounet for morning walks, trimined with folds of crape, is much in requisition. A new Scottish toque is much worn for paying morning visits, or for friendly dinner parties; it is composed of crape and black satin, with laurel leaves affixed on the left side, of the same materials. A dress cornette is, however, more prevalent on the above occasions. It is formed of white crape, and ornamented in front with a full half wreath of black crape flowers: the * Nothing enhances so much the excellent qualities of the Prince Regent's heart as his incessant and unwearied affection to his august and virtuous mother, which has never ceased from boyhood till the present mourniul hour, were published in a Supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday the 17th of November: crown terminates loosely behind, and is || specting the Court and General Mourning, formed of black crape: there is a taste and fancy in this head-dress which confer high honour on the invention of Mrs. Bell. An evening toque of black velvet, trimmed with rows of jet, dividing the crown from the head-piece, is also another specimen of her unrivalled powers in the article of taste. The bonnets are still worn very large; cypress feathers are more worn than we expected. Opera cloaks of dark grey, lined with black, are in favour at present for the general mourning, but we prophecy that they will become too common to be adopted by the higher classes, by whom they are seldom worn, except at entering the Theatres, or in the early spring and late autumual season, in an open carriage. N. B. Our Cabinet of Taste is unavoidably closed at present: every European court will, no doubt, adopt the "sable garb of woe" for Britain's virtuous Queen. COURT AND GENERAL MOURNING.

"H. H. MOLYNEUX-HOWARD, Deputy Earl Marshal." MONTHLY MISCELLANY; INCLUDING VARIETIES CRITICAL, LITERARY, AND HISTORICAL. THE little novelty represented at either of our national Theatres, at the commencement of last month, and their close on a Jate lamented occasion, will, we trust, be an apology to our readers for omitting at this time of universal sorrow, our usual dramatic intelligence; while we devote these remaining pages to the present Royal subject of a nation's regret. DEATH OF THE QUEEN. Iris at length our duty to announce this melancholy, though not unlooked for termination of a course of human suffering uncommonly protracted and severe. That her Majesty should not have sunk before, under the complicated maladies which assailed her at so advanced an age, is, we are taught to believe, more surprising to her medical attendants, than that she has ultimately yielded to their violence. The Queen was born on the 19th of May, 1744; having from nature a sound and vigorous frame. Until within these two years, her Majesty enjoyed an almost uninterrupted state of health; and, as is sometimes the case with those whose habits are regular, and whose various bodily powers are thence exposed to a pretty equal pressure, the first very serious attack of disease was that which indicated a general breaking-up of her constitution. The water which accumulated in her limbs and on her chest, was an unequivocal symptom of the deadly stage at which her Majesty's sufferings had arrived. This source of distress and immediate alarm was, however, acted upon, from time to time, both by medicines and |
