The Dean of WINDliOlt and Sir OVUM NAYLgIi attended with Mr. Olean at the Lord Chamberlain's Office yesterday. Carlton House is closely shut up Nn the present melancholy occasion. The inquiries condolence of distinguished persons yesterday vary numerous. Inquiries of a similar nature were also made after Duchess of GLoticssren and the Princess AD- NiIBTA, at the Queen's Palace, and at the Duke of CAMBRIDGE'S house, on Kew Green, where their I-Eghnesses removed on 'Wednesday night from Kew Palace. The answers given to the kind luiQrs were—" Their Royal Highnesses were as as could be expected." The Queen's Palace was closed onWednesday and yesterday by FRANCZ and BANTING, by order of Colonel STBPIIENSOI4 ; every 'window that had net shutters was closed with thick canvass. Last night, about half-past eight o'clock, a hearse four arrived at Kcw Palace, followed by a Tmourning coach ar.d four, in which were Mr. 114 N- the Royal Undertaker, and his Assistants, with leaden Coffin in which the remains of her MA.

" In pursuance of the commands of his Royal. Highness the .

(gad) " MOW HOrldia MoLaltstl.Howaaq Deputy Eatl ManhaL " N. B. Orders respecting the Mourning foe the Army and Navy will be unr.ounced in the 0.2-tie of Saturday mt." While these solemn preparations are going forward the public feeling exhibits itself in all quarters with the tnost sincere and becoming respect. The shop windows throughout Loudon and Westminster, with a very few exceptions, are half closed, and the ships of all nations have their colours only half-mast high ; and, in many instances, respectful families are already in mourning. A soon as tte death of her 3TAJT.srx was known at the several nut-ports all the vessels hoisted their co lours half-mast, and the Royal Flags were only hoisted half-way up the flag-staff. •At Brighton the Church bells tolled their mournful peals, and the Theatre and all the. Libraries were closed, The determined and rigid perseverance which her late Mazzsry ever manifested, in excluding from her public interviews all persons of her own sex, however high' in rank, or imposing by connexions, if their private characters were in any degree suspicious, was a more brilliant jewel in l the diadem of her moral fame than any which embellished her temporal crown ; and whatever effect could have been pro duced amongst the inferior ranks, by the greatest ex- i ample in discountenancing levity and itnmorulity of conduct in the higher, must have been realiled to' the fullest possible extent, by the immaculate evi dence of her own actions, and her vigilant resolution to shut out from her presence every individual whose habits and mannersweTe improper, qr even equivo— cal: in fact, if ever real honour and glory were . made to shed the lirstre of their radiance round the throne of a great nation, that of Cheat Britain was ever en. ] circled by the halo diffused by the mild and benig nant virtues of the lamented PersOrage who partici pated in it for the unexampled period of more thr.r. half a century. S'le was ever assate as the icicle That's eurcll*l by the frost (rota purest snow, And imp en Dian 's Temple! Her mind was as incorruptible as her dignity and prudence were evident to the most scrutinizing eye; and her demear.unr, though ever commanding, was founded on discretion, and, cor.sequently, free from every shadow of pride or affectation:v This conduct alone produced, in former years, an uAirersal respect and attachment from all classes. We would particularly point out to public atten tion an anecdote of the QttEN, which forcibly illus trates the lofty ptinciples of moral virtue that always influenced her conduct with regard to the character of the Ladies who formed her Court. An application was made to her MAJESTY to receive a titled female, whose name was not free from taint. The request was immediately retlised. " What shall I say to my friend?" asked the intercessor. " Tell her," replied the QCEEN, " that you did not dare to ask the!" an answer worthy of a Roman matron, and conveying. at the same time, a keen reproof to the Lady who had dared to make such a solicitation. 'ln addition to the numerous charities to which her late MAJESTY subscribed, none was more conspi cugus (though not generally known) than the Insti. tution formal at Bailbrook Lodge, contiguous to Bath. The Qum; was the immediate Patroneis otl this establishment, and not only contributed very largely towards its- support, but displayed great anxiety concerning i:s future welfare. The Inbtitu. don at Bailbrook House is formed after the German viiii e itrcs and other Protestant EstablishMents on Continent. It offers a desirable residence to Ladies of respectable character, whose birth places them in the rank of Gentlewomen ; and the plan is ao arranged as lb suit the circumstances of those whose income is very moderate ;...itt the sane time it offers accommodation to othem. who, by residing in the establishment, contribute largely' towards its support ; but this circumstance occa sions no apparent inequality among the inmates, for all are, in fact, equally independent of pecuniary obligation either to the Public, or to each other.-- 1 The Imlay live together as one family ; but none are admitted who are averse to a retired life, or who are unwilling to lend their aid in promoting works of charity and benevolence. It is principally intended for the reception of the widows and daughters of Clergyrne.n. and of Officers in the Army and Navy. It is entirely under the auspices of Ladies of the highest rank, and a - fund of several thousands has been already secured, and placed out at interest. Her Meanie:, when last at Bath ) , paid great attention to the above Institution, minutely inspected every part ofßailbrook House, and expressed herself very anxi ously, that there were not more Establishments for med of that kind in England, Her MAJESTY has made a Will. It appears that she was not possessed of I:3000 of money at her demise, and that she possessed no funds: She has bequeathed her diamonds to be divided equally among the Pat tr- CPSSES her Daughters, with some distinctions ; and is said to have given a handsome bequest to Lady HARCOURT, who has been always admitted to the ho nour of her intimate confidence, and smaller legacies to, others, who have been longest in bee Matarry's service. All the under servants will have pensions from the public, according to their ranks, which will amount to a considerable sum. It appears from the accounts of the Civil List for the last year, that the pensions to the servants of Queen Canotiss and the Princess Dowager of WALES were then 0430, though few of them 'are now alive.

The attack on Chandah appears to have been high honourable to the troops employed on the occa sion, and to have been a Service of difficulty and Clanger. The garrison 'of Chandah consisted of up wardsof 3,000 men, and was defended by 52 bastions, kith as many guns, some of the largest calibre. The two columns of the storming party were commanded by Colonel H. Scott, and led on by him and Colonel Popham. They advanced with as much steadiness and order as if on parade, to within 20 paces, when a simultaneous dash, made in the most intrepid man ner, by both columns, carried them to the summit of the breach. They then separated to the right and left to oppose the enemy, 800 of whom flanked the breach, and fought with such resolution that several of our ofFcers were opposed' hand to hand ; and, at ' this rune, Captains Charleswortri and Watson received *Tier, sabre wounds. After a close and warm con test; the enemy gave way in all directions. Many threw themselves from the walls, and were killed in the fall or cut up by the horse. The breach was capital, and of such easy ascent, that a horse-artillery . - run 'Wit run up, and by great labour brought into the interior of the city. Tte heat iathe batteries was excessive ; the thermometer in the open air at noon being 145. degrees; and several Europeans died in [-- consequence of the exposure. A considerable stea -1 • sure has been discovered in this place, which will yield a rich booty to the attackiug force. The fall of Chandah took place on the 28th of May. Ach ices had been received from Sir John Malcolm's camp at Keyree (about 20 miles north of Asseerghur), : dated June 3 ; at which time Bajee Row was close to Sir John's camp on his way to Benares. The conditions on which Bajee Row had given himself up, are said to bo--: safe conduct to Benares, and a residence there, under the protection of the British Government, with an annual income of ten lacs of rupees; Bajee Row reaoucing all claims to sovereignty. _ _ Another gallant affair took k lace on the 10th of June, in the capture of the Foil of Pritchilghur, by Lieutenant -Colonel Cunningham, which was carried. by a sort of couple-mats: in the course of a few minutes after the attack commenced, which was not till the garrison had been repeatedly summoned to sur render, the place was in the possession of the British. The last grand military operation detailed in these papers is the fall of the important fortress of-Mulia gaiim, which occuraed in the Nth June.
