Saturday, December 6.
At a meeting of the Corporation of this city, holden at the town-hall, on Thursday, Addresses of Condolence were voted to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and to his Serene Highness Prince Leopold, upon the late calamitous event of the death of the Princess Charlotte; and it was agreed that the addresses should be presented by Richard Meyler, Esq. Member for the city, Philip Williams, Esq. Recorder, and Paulett Mildmay, Esq.
It will be seen by an advertisement that a County Meeting is appointed by our High Sheriff to be holden at the Castle in this city, on Thursday next, at twelve o'clock at noon, for the purpose of proposing an address to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and to his Serene Highness the Prince of Saxe Cobourg, condoling them with the calamitous event of the death of her late Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales.

We have the pleasure of stating, that savings bank instituted at Basingstoke, under the patronage of Lord Bolton, and the gentlemen of the neighbourhood, commenced on Wednesday se'nnight, with great success. Various sums, from one shilling and upwards, making a total of �594 17s. were deposited; and amongst them was one of �40 by a labourer.
On Thursday last a meeting of the Mayor, Burgesses, and Inhabitants of Christchurch was convened at the Town-Hall, to consider of addresses of condolence to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent and his Serene Highness the Prince Leopold, on the lamented death of the Princess Charlotte. The meeting was most numerously and respectably attended: Geo.Eyre, Esq. Mayor, in the chair, who opened the meeting by stating its objects, and continued in these words : "There is not a person who hears me but must acutely feel the irreparable loss this free nation has sustained. I conceive it quite unnecessary to enter into the particulars of the character of the beloved and exalted Personage whom we have just lost, and have now to deplore, - it is too well known to need comment : she was endeared by all, and long, very long, will her virtuous conduct be remembered. The event was truly sudden and awful : the hopes and expectations of a great and free people were in a short period frustrated; yet notwithstanding the grievous loss we have sustained, we should act as become men and Christians - we should recollect that it was the will of an omniscient Being, whose dispensations are general, wise, and good." Mr.Eyre then proposed a suitable address to the Prince Regent, which was seconded by our worthy Representative, the Right.Hon.George Rose, and unanimously agreed to; as was also an address to Prince Leopold. The Right.Hon.George Rose, in a most feeling and impressive manner, addressed the meeting at considerable length, and concluded as follows :- "It would be intrusive in me, were I to enter farther into particulars respecting the immense loss the nation has just sustained, after what has been most feelingly stated to you by the Mayor; yet I cannot omit to state - I am perfectly well aware what must be the general feeling on this momentous occasion : if we ever had cause for sorrow it certainly was for the late afflicting event; and no event in our history had given us greater cause. A most amiable, endearing, and beloved woman ! blest with youth - with health - and stately prospects ! a nation's hope ! and yet, in one awful and unexpected moment, visited by death." Neque ulla est aut magno aut parvo lethi fuga. The Right Hon. Gentleman, after a few other feeling and appropriate allusions, passed the highest eulogium on Prince Leopold. he address (copies of which are subjoined) received the signatures of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, and are forwarded for presentation.
To his Royal Highness the Prince Regent.
The humble Address of the Mayor, Burgesses, and Inhabitants of Christchurch, in the County of Southampton, and its neighbourhood.
The deep and sincere grief occasioned by the awful event with which it has pleased divine Providence, in its inscrutable dispensation, to afflict your Royal Highness and this nation, by the death of the Princess Charlotte, have been manifested by all classes of his Majesty's subjects throughout the united kingdom in a manner and to an extent, we believe, greatly beyond any example. These have been so incontestable as to carry conviction to the mind of your Royal Highness of the general feeling, silently expressed; but we cannot resist at a time when we have the strongest sense of the public loss thus to convey to your Royal Highness the most lively assurances of our deep sorrow for your paternal sufferings, which can be assuaged only by resignation to the divine will, in which we earnestly pray your Royal Highness may find a resource.
To his Serene Highness the Prince of Saxe Cobourg.
The humble Address of the Mayor, Burgesses, and Inhabitants of Christchurch, in the County of Southampton, and its neighbourhood.
Amidst the lamentations of the whole nation for the very deep and afflicting loss of your late Royal consort, influenced as those have been by a strong sense of the weight of that misfortune, as bearing upon his Royal Highness the Prince Regent and on every branch of the Royal Family, as well as on the interests of these kingdoms, it is impossible not to turn our attention towards your Serene Highness, on whom that loss presses with a bitterness of sorrow that has admitted of no alleviation.
The conduct of your Serene Highness has so effectually endeared you to the people of this country as would induce them to share in any grief with which your Serene Highness might be visited; but in this instance, connected as the inappreciable calamity is with your own happiness, their sense of it is proportionably alive to its magnitude. May the Almighty Power, which has inflicted this sorrow on your Serene Highness, enable you ultimately to sustain the weight of it.
It will give great satisfaction to hear, that arrangements are now making, in order that the intended Canal from Arundel to Portsmouth may be commenced very early in the ensuing spring. - This desirable project, when completed, will not only obviate the risk that will ever attend the navigation of the Channel from the privateers of the enemy in war time, but also the great risk to which goods by the coasting voyage are subject to the elements. It appears by the General Shipping Lists, from the commencement of the present year to the 31st of October last, that the following casualties have occurred between Portsmouth and London River, to such vessels only as were bound to or from some port in the British Channel, viz. 21 driven into port with loss of anchors and cables, or otherwise disabled; 6 aground; 11 sprung leak, or much damaged in hull and cargo; 4 totally lost - 44 in number; of which 4 only were to the westward of Dover - a sufficient indication as to where the greatest danger exists. The Canal will present the means of forwarding goods from the metropolis to Chichester and Portsmouth, so as to avoid the sea voyage altogether, and to the Western ports in the British Channel, so as to avoid the most dangerous parts of it.
On Wednesday last was married at Christchurch, Mr.Thomas Young, of Fern Hill Farm, to Miss Hannah Seymour, of Burton, near Christchurch.

Great alarm has been occasioned at Odiham, by a dog, supposed to be mad, that has this week bitten three men there, and a boy about 14 years of age.

We are happy to state, that Sir Henry Halford expresses his opinion, that her Majesty's health is already materially improved by the tonic virtues of the Bath waters. - It having been asked why Sir Henry has left the Queen in a state of indisposition, we are assured that the fact is, her Majesty only requires a tonic, and Dr.Gibbes's perfect knowledge of the effects of the water, which he has minutely analized, renders all other advice quite unnecessary.
On Thursday evening the Earl of Shaftesbury, and his three daughters, the Marchioness of Bath, and several other distinguished personages, dined with her Majesty.

It will be seen by an advertisement bearing the signature of John Tylee, Esq. Mayor of Devizes, that it is in contemplation to establish a Saving Bank for that borough and the surrounding district. We understand that this excellent sort of institution is at present highly desirable in that neighbourhood, and that the establishment of it there is likely to be promoted and supported by the resident gentry. But surely this is not to be wondered at, when it is considered that Government hold out to such institutions the most marked countenance and encouragement; and that the fact is indisputable , that they tend to promote, among the humbler classes of society, habits of industry, economy, and sobriety. - A meeting, it appears, it also intended to be held at Bridport on the 16th inst. for the purpose of establishing a Savings Bank for the benefit of that town and neighbourhood.

An association was immediately formed for the above purpose, and for forming two Branch Associations at Corsham and Chippenham, to act in union with the Bath Association.
