A gentleman who transacted business for half an hour with his late Royal Highness on the Sth April , has informed us that he never saw the Royal Duke look better , both in health and spirits . He stood firm , and spoke with a strong voice . In little more than forty-eight hours after , on the Monday night , on returning to his room , he expressed to Mr-Beckham a feeling of indisposition , saying he had a most extraordinary
sensation in his head , the like of which he had never experienced before . The next day symptoms of a swelling of the face appeared , ivhich eventually proved to be carbuncle . —Morning Paper . In 1832 , ivhen the Anatomy Bill was under discussion in the House of Peers , the Duke of Sussex avowed his determination to give his body to one of the public hospitals for dissection . Although this intention
has not been literally carried out , it is an interesting fact , perhaps not generally known , that a clause in the will of his Royal Highness requires his executors to publish , for the benefit of medical science , the result of the post mortem examination of his remains , should the same possess any feature of beneficial interest . Our week ' s news winds up in melancholy fashion , with the death of
the Duke of Sussex—many years labouring under mortal ailments , and often forgotten by the world , from which his infirmities more and more withdrew him . He was a man with a hearty desire to be intelligent ,
judicious , and good ; his aspirations were on the side of doing what was considered best for his species ; and the homage which he sought rather in the library than the drawing-room , probably procured him more real pleasure in his blameless life than greater pomp ; as it undoubtedly gave some little help to raise literature and science in the estimation of polite society . Were there more royal dukes like Augustus Frederick , there
would be fewer Republicans . —Spectator . At a meeting of the Committee of the " Protestant Society for the Protection of Religious Liberty , " held at the King ' s Head Tavern , Poultry , London , on May 3 , 1843 , specially after the decease of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex , John Wilks , Esq ., in the chair , it was unanimously resolved— " That this Society , established thirty years
ago , in more persecuting and less enlightened times , to promulgate the principles of religious freedom , and to maintain their exercise within the British empire and throughout the world , received at the dawn of its existence the favour , counsel , ancl support of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex , who presided at an early public meeting , and repeated that distinctionafter an interval of twenty yearsat the
anni-, , versary in 1839 , when he avowed anew his attachment to tlieir sacred cause , and asserted nobly , with fervid eloquence , the unalienable right of every human being upon earth to worship God as ids own judgment and conscience should direct . That , to their grateful recollection
