MAJESTY, Very extensive preparations Continue to be made for the approaching funeral ' Mr. BA NTING, jun. and a great number of assistants, are busily employed in ntting up, with black draperies, and other funereal emblems, the Great Hall, and the passages leading 4o it. Over the recess, at the upper end of the apart ment, a State Canopy has been erected, with festoons of black drapery, and tassels beneath its cornice, and the whole surmounted with a superb plume of black feathers. The solemn spectacle of lying in state wil, not open before Monday next, and will continue forl that day only; and the issue of tickets of admission will be extremely limited. Tuesday morning, the remains of her late MA JESTY will be removed to Windsor, and the proces sion will be a most extensive one. The hearse will be drawn by eight beautiful black horses, the property of her late MAJESTY; they will be fully plumed and caparisoned, and driven by the state coachman. It will be guarded by a detachment of the King's Body Guard, and forty Yeomen of the Guard, in black dresses, made exactly in the same shape as the scar let ones, and having the Royal Crown and. other na tional emblems embroidered in gold, on the back and front. The QUEEN'S Crown will be carried on a Cushion, covered with black. Nine carriages of the late QUEEN'S, with six horses in each, will follow im mediately behind the hearse, and these will be suc- 1 seeded by three of the PitiNce REGENT'S carriages ; 'those of the PRINCESSES, of the Duke of YORK, the Duke of GLOUCESTER, Prince LEOPOLD, the Duke of SUSSEX, the Great Officers of State, &c. the whole with six horses in each 'carriage, all mantled with black velvet, and plumed. _ _ The procession will be preceded by detachments from the Life Guards, and Royal HMS: Guards Blue, with silver trumpets and muffled drums, and the bands of the respective Regiments, in their full state uniforms, with crape, banners, &c. Other nu merous detachments, both from the above-mentioned Regiments, and. also the 19th Lancers, will escor t the cavalcade. The procession will set forward at a slow foot pace over Kew Green, and by way of Richmond and Staines to Frogmore, where it will be joined by sc. veral members of the Royal Family. From' Frog more, the , road leading to Windsor Castle will be lined by the Foot Guards, every sixth man bearing a ,lighted flambeau. His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT will join the mournful cavalcade, as Chief-Mourner, on its ar rival at St. George's Chapel ;. and it is expected, that his Royal Highness will be supported by the Duke of YORK and the Duke of Sossxx. His Royal Highness's train will be borne by four Marquisses, and six Dukes will support the pall of the Royal coffin. The carriages of the Princess AUGUSTA and the Duchess of GLOUCESTER are to be lined with black, preparatory to the solemn occasion. The circumstance of her MAJESTY having died possessed of so small a suns of money as that which we have mentioned, was owing to the immense ex pense of her Establishment, not on her own account but for the entertainment of those •persons whom etiquette required her to receive. Besides this, it is well known that her MAJESTY'S benevolence was of the most extensive description. In addition to the in stances we have already mentioned, we have to state that the family of a reduced Gentleman, who died about a year since near Windsor, have been amply provided for by the bounty of her MAJESTY. " MANCHESTER, NOVEMBER 24. " The long and severe indisposition of her Majesty the QUEEN, had prepared the minds of all ranks of persons for the news of her Death, which occurred on Tuesday last, reached this town on Thursd:ty morn. ing. The long suffering which her MAJESTY had en dured, and her advanced age, softened down the me lancholy tidings, which for *several weeks had been eNpected, though so much medical scicnc e was em ployed to wird off the stroke of Death. It was there fore received here, as no doubt it would be, in every part of the kingdom, like the information of the re lease of an aged and venerated relative, who, for a long time, had been deprived by disease of all earthly enjoyment, had long lain upon a bed of rain, and whose future hopes had all their rest in HEAVEN ! " Qn Sunday, notwithstanding it was not generally known in Manchester, that orders had been issued from the Lord Chamberlain's Office, that the mourn ing should then commence, a majority of the respec table part of the population were seen repairing to the various.pla :es of worship, dressed in black—and few of the pulpits on that day were occupied without the preacher noticing, in solemnly-soothing, loyal, and edifying terms, the awful change which had taken place in the family of the Sovereign. If the occasion did not lacerate the heart with commiserating sym pathy, so deeply as the death of England's young Hope," the lesson was perhaps not less powerful. a The event was held out to be such an exempt fication to the whole nation, as the death of an aged private individual is to a single family, that however long man is spared to himself, to his relatives, and his ti fends, all, without exception of rank or title, must obey the eternal fiat, and sink into the grave ; and, that however exalted•in the scale of society, or important to its welfare he may have been during life, that, when he has fallen, the Sun will still shine, Nattre will lessed operationi, World Still disturb itself with contentions of tempo rary import, that men will still perplex themselves with the cares of life, and again forget that . huma nity is ephemeral. SuCh were the lessons of instruc tion drawn from the solemn event, on Sunday last ; and very many pious aspirations ascended to the Throne of HEAVE✓, that she who had just laid sown an earthly crown, might exchange it for a more glo rious and everlasting one in Flrpas! " From a wish to 'evince a proper respect to tl.e memory of a Princess who has filled the high situa tion of QUEEN, for a greater length of time than any other Royal Personage upon record, the inhabitants of Manchester and Salford will assemble on Thurs day next, to Vote an Address of Condolence to his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, and to consider on what may be further decorous and proper to give expre.sion to their sense of the melancholy occasion for national mourning." "EXETER, NOVEMBER 24. " Thursday, the peat bell of the Cathedral, as well as the different parochial church bells of this City, tolled from the hour of one till two, for the late QUEEN. Death is an event in all cases awful, whether we meet it in the cottage or the palace, and in some re spects more so in the latter than in the former, be- cause the circumstances of splendour with which it is surrounded reader the scene more affecting, by the contrast of regal glory and of human misery. " We know that the crown which encircle; a royal brow affords no protection against disease or death. It cannot even relieve the agony of a spasm, nor lessen the torture of a convulsion, nor protract the hour of departure, when the spectre receives his war rant, whether the subject of it be in the vale of years, or in the bloom of youth. " It cannot escape our recollection, that scarcely twelve months have passed, when the body 91 a Prin cess was consigned to the Royal tomb, cut off in the prime of life, and in the vigour of her health and faculties, and surrounded with more splendour limn the lustre of her virtues and her talents, than from her rank. " Death has again entered our palaces," and borne away, by lingering disease, the aged and beloved partner of our venerable Sovereign—and where is he? Alas! entombed alive! and while deprived of all that on earth was dear to him, enjoying the anti cipated Views of celestial glory. 0, what a lecture is this on the vanity of human life !—what a satire on human glory ! '4ln the eulogies which have filled the papers on the death of the QUEIOI, one virtue appears to have been so conspicuous in her character, as to be the most prominent feature. Her late MAntsrv's detes tation of that profligate debauchery, which prevails in this age, no words can duly praise. Courts are so often the hot-beds of folly and vice, that the conduct of her MAJESTY shone more brightly, by its contrast with the foul wantonness of too many tenants of a Throne !" The Princess AUGUSTA is much recovered from her indispositson ; and Sir FRANCIS Mittsras has left Cambridge House, for his seat at Pinner. Yesterday morning the Duke of YORK had a long interview with the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House. In the evening the PRINCE REGENT went to Cam bridge House, to pay a visit of condolence to his Royal Sisters. It is supposed the Royal Dukes would receive, in the course of last Saturday, the melancholy tidings of the demise of their beloved Mother. We are happy in stating, that a Bust of our late venerable QuEEN, by TunNettetr.r, her MAJESTY'S Sculptor, is finished, as a companion to the Jubilee Bust of the KING. Her MAJESTY sat to that Artist, some time ago; at Frogniore ; and it is, we believe, the only Bust she ever gave sittings for. Whit makes it still more interesting is, that her MAJESTY WOI Led at part of in taking lessons from TURNERELLI in modelling. The RING'S jewels, we are informed, have been' missing ever since June last. Only two Peers, exclusive of those of the Blood Royal, are honoured with the Royal Guelphic Order, of Grand Cross of Hanover ! The Piazza, as far as regards the Colonnade round the North, South, and Est sides of the Opera House, is nearly completed. The western side is occupied with the Royal Arcade. The columns, which are of the Doric Order, and fluted, are of cast iron, and cy lindrical or hollow. They are coloured like dark Bath stone, and the workmanship the neatest possible. Those in the South, or Pall-mall front, are necessarily longer than in the Northern, as the ground slopes downwards considerably towards the South. As soon as the account of her MAJESTY'S death was received at Liverpool, the journeymen tailors de manded double wages, which the masters not com plying with, the men immediately left their employ; but as several of them had left their work in an un finished state, they were brought up by summons on Friday before the Magistrates at the Town-hall. Af ter having heard the case, the Magistrates stated that the men were bound to finish the work they had be gun, and made an order to that effect, with which the-men reluctantly complied. Friday evening, as William Brookes, of Exeter, was unloading a timber waggon on the Haven Banks, he was unfortunately killed by a heavy piece of tim ber falling on him, whereby his head was crushed 10 pieces. He has left a widow and five children to la ment his untimely death. Sunday morning a fire broke out in the dwelling of J. Rollaway, a small farmer near Blithe, in York shire, which totally destroyed the premises ; the house being thatched, the fire communi:ated to the stables and farm-yard, and consumed a stack of wheat, son sisting of about fifty loads, together with a small stack of barley and oats. - • riff ARMY. • , The 52d, which formed the garrison of Valen ciennes, and is the last English regimen remaining in France, marched fiom that place on the 19th Calais. The 11th Light Dragoons have arrived in Canter- bury, to deliver over their horseil to the 3d Dragoods, preparatory to the embarkation of the Regimea tor the East Indies. Part of the 43d Regiment was embarked at Deal,. on Friday last, for Ireland, and sailed on the foliovv ing day. The reminder of the Regiment, conSist r. ing of two companies, remains for the present in Del barracks, waiting transports for their conveyance. "! RAMSGATE, NOVE`r:Bnit 21.

More of the Guards are looked for here this evening, as they cannot enter Dover harbour, owing to the bar thrown up at that port, which was so great on Saturday as to prevent the Calais mail from getting out, and it was at length I forwarded by means of a Hovelling boat.
