THE DUKE OF CLARENCE.

[Bv Klkotbio Telegraph.—CopyaiGHß.] [Special to Pbhss Association.] LONDON, January 22. (Received January 23, 1862, at 10.30 a.m.) The Queen has summoned to Odborne the doctors who attended the late Duke of Clarence to give details of her grandson's illnes?. An enormous number of wreaths continue to arrive. The Corporation of London have deoided to place a memorial window in the Guildhall. His Excellency the Governor has been commanded by Her Majesty the Queen to convey her thanks and those of their Royal Highness the Prince and Princess of Wales for the expressions of sympathy with the Royal Family received from New Zeuland. The Royal Family have been much affected" by the universal feeling of sympathy and grief at the loss which they have sustained. At the Synagogue today the Rev. B. Liohtenstein made the following remarks with reference to the death of the Duke of Clarence:—" As the eyes of all are now overflowing with tears over the aflHoting and sudden bereavement whioh has just befallen this extensive Empire in the demise of H.R.H. the DuVe of Clarence, it well behoves us, the remnant of Israel, to mingle our sorrows and our regrets with those of our fellow-citizens of other creeds in regard to a loss which is no less ours than theirs. Nothing is more sorrowful than to see a flower beaten down by the Btorm before it has run its short career, or a promising tree struck by the lightning before its full development, before it could delight by its shade or nourish by its fruit. Let us hope that he for whom We now mourn has been received into the abode of the rightoouß, among those who have fulfilled well their mission on earth. But for those who survive him—for his bereaved parents, for the Queen, for bis afflicted bride-elect, and for the members of the Royal Familylet us invoke the of Heaven. May He bestow on them His consolation, even His blessed Spirit, whioh abideth with the lowly and osntrite, and may He shield them by His benefioent protection from all evil. O Lord, Thou canst recall the dead to life, and art a powerful deliverer. O, restore the Prince of Wales to health, give him new strength, ft new existencej let him live to

enjoy the love of the people that repose under his august mother's rule; bestow upon him happiness and consolation; renew his youth like the eagle's; grant him a long life, so that he may sit on the throne of his inheritance and reign with justice and charity." A speoiil hymn was afterwards chanted by the minister. The ark and reader's desk were draped in blaok.
