HER LATE MAJESTY. The preparations for the interment of the ?attains o f h er 31Aiesrx are now in a forward state,. but it is not yct determined whether the mournful cere nay will take place the latter end of the present, or the b e ginning of next week. The Funeral will be 2 : private as possible, consistently with the high ani exalted rank of the ILLUSTRIOUS PERSONAGE, and loch of the solemn pomp observed on former similar occasions will be dispensed with in the present in ova., The body will lie in state in Kesi Palace.— . -. owing to the smallness of the building, the public will be admitted only by tickets. To make the nem- . oy , p r eparations, the PRINCE REGENT commanded t be attendance of the Surveyor-General at Kew Pa- Ice o n Fliday evening, when the large dining-room o r hall, :LS it was called by the KINo, and the small >itting•reom adjoining, were deemed the best calcu lated fur the purpose ; and in consequence the whole o f the fa:niture was removed out of those rooms to the new detached building erected by command off' he litst , , before he was attacked by his present rea 1t l a dy. The interment will be by torch-light. The Duke of YORK called yesterday morning, on h is w ay from Oatlands, at Cambridge-House, Kew- Green, on a visit of condolence with his aillicted s isters, the Princess AUGUSTA and the DucLess, of GioncEsrr.n. His Royal Highness afterwards pro ceeded from Kew to London, arrivethat York House about two o'clock, and afterwards had a long inter. v iew with the PRINCE REGENT, at Quiten-House. 'nits of condolence, and inquiries after the state of health of the Royal survivors, continued to be made at Carlton-liouse , York-House, the Queen's Palace, aid ( ,1 u cester-liouse, by the frel arrivals in town Nobility and persons of distinction, who in .r daily, particularly those attached to the Court. It has been stated that the Royal Drawing-Rooms 7: Sr the future to be held by the Duchess of WEIL We Lave AUTSORItY to assure the Public, not only .;:it no such arrangement has been formed, but that I ]:‘2 subj:ct has not yet, even in the slightest degree , l c mc under consideration. - A , a proof of the uncommon fortitude of the Royal ,S L :ffercr, w•e need only mention what was related by ?ItINCE REGENT yesterday. In conversation with i itienilenian, his Royal Highness said—" During V: whole period of her kuesrx:s indisposition, she, ' I gver suffered a murmur to escape her." On Sunday last, at Richmond, in Surrey, the most brked respect and attention , were paid to the me :,ry of that venerable and exalted Personage whose k,elution we now all monrn. The pulpit, desks,' 1 ,7,an gallery, and royal pew, in the Parish Church, were clothed wit the sable habiliments of woe.— Solemn and appropriate music was performed in,the ,ffvice of the day, and the Rev. birwAVERMARD (the Lecturer) preached a most excellint and imPeessive' discourse, wherein he not only with eloquence and• energy enforced the gospel duties, but interwove an elegant and just tribute to the piety and exemplary virtues of oar departed Quitzsr. It is remarkable that her 'late MaJsars.sransacted all her own private business till her indispos/tiOn pte vented her from proceeding to Windsor. Up to that period, her hand-writing continued the same as it had been for a number of years back—clear, and even elegant in its character. During her MAJESTY'S illness, the amount of most of the demands upon her was ordered to be sent in ; red, since her demise, those that have been examined have been fully paid. _ _ Among the numerous acts of benevolence which 1 1 amiably Characterized our ever-to-be-lamented tlersx, the following is worthy to be recorded : When the failure of a Bank at Windsor happened some time since, a large portion of the working peo ple were thrown into distress by having some of their tl notes in their possession, with which the sus toance of their families were to be provided for the ensuing week. Her MAJESTY no sooner hard of this calamitous circumstance, than she ordered her Deputy Treasurer to provide £4OO, in small Bank of England Notes, and immediately to exchange all the Windsor Notes for them—a work of benevolence so truly Royal, that the Panccesses personally assisted rith inexpressible delight. The Yeomen of the Guard are all to appear at the funeral in drtsses of black cloth, and hats of the same, made in the shape of their usual uniform. The t Crews of the Royal Barges are also to attend the Royal Procession, dressed in uniform caps of black cloth. The account of her MAJESTY'S death was brought to Windsor, on Tuesday evening, by the Duke of Yoax, who communicated the melancholy tidings to Princess SOPHIA. The shops, both of Windsor and Eton, were immediately shut. The bodily health of the KING continues unim paired ; but during the intervals of reason with which Ee is blest, he makes constant inquiries after the QI:EE. Should her MAJESTY!. death be communi cated to our venerable SOVEREIGN, it is feared the consevences may be serious. " DUBLIN, NOVEMBEW O. " It i , our mornful duty, this day, to announce an event, the prospect of which has for some time filled the public mind with anxiety.. The QUEEN of this gnat Empire is dead. Prepared as we have kalillilliZZll.ll ings, we did at hear the 'result without receiv ing a great shock 'the mind naturally reverts, on hearing of this catastrophe, to the period when her MAJESTY - arrived in London, on the Sth of Septema, ber, 1761„ the youthful bride of our revered KING. What a multitude of mighty events have taken place since that day ! . What suns of genius have then and set! What fluctuations have taken place in public opinion ! Through all these changes our Queen has steadily maintained the high character of a virtuous; ,affectionate, and prudent wife and mother, and an excellent and dignified Queen. She has died full of years, and full of honour, exhibiting in the last pain ful stage of her existence a magnanimity which be-, came her high rank, and a piety and patience wor thy of the Christian tenor of her life!" 1, EDINBURGH. NOVEMBER 21. " Upon the arrival of the intelligence of her MA.. JESTY'S death, yesterday morning, the royal standard on the Castle, and the flag on Ner.sores monument, were hoisted half-staff high. The ringing of the music-bells in the forenoon was stopped on the same account The Loan PROVOST and Magistrttes have given orders for the Ktmo's seat and all the public seats in the High Church to be put in mourning to morrow, and for the pulpits in the different churches to be covered with black. " The Court of Session met yesterday forenoon, at the usual hour. Their Lordships held a full meet ing in the First Division, when the LORD Parsiotztr' said, that in consequence of the melancholy intelli gence that had come to town that morning, of the death of our lamented Queen, he considered it pro per, as a mark of their Lordships respect and loyalty to the Royal Family in general, and in particular of their gratitude for the amiable virtues and exemplary conduct of her late MAJESTY, to move that the Court should adjourn for one day, which was agreed to ac cordingly. " Yesterday was the usual day for holding the Commissary Court, and the Commissaries met, hut in consequence of the Quisrs's death, adjourned the Court till Tuesday next." On the evening of the 9th instant, as the jolly-boat of his Majesty's sloop Harlequin was going from Carrickfergus to that vessel, it blowing fresh, she was upset near the Pandora sloop of war, by which Mr. M , Quitsky, the gunner; Mr. M'CuLLocK, the car penter; Mr. BUCHANAN, the pilot; Mr. BARRON, the purser's steward ; a woman, whose husband was in the boat, and a boy, were drowned. . A most melancholy kccident occurred on Tuesday ,morning in the vicinity of Winchester. Two lads, sons of Mr. Mould, cabinetmaker, had gone out with a gun, for the purpose of shooting small birds; and while the elder was nicking . the ffmt, the piece went off; and lodged its contents in the side of his brother; who was immediately conveyed to the County Hos pitidorhere he lingered till Thursday afternoon, -►lrers death put an end to his misery. Saturday last a boy, employed in the Cast Iron Factory, in Stockport, near Manchester, was caught by the strap of one of the wheels, and killed on the spot.—On the same afternoon, a man emplOyed in Priston and Wood's factory, was killed in a similar manner, his leg and thigh being torn from► his body. Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, an Inquisition was take; in the Board-room, St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of William Keith, one of the persons who were killed in Lombard-street, on Sa turday afternoon, by the falling of the wall of Mr. Smith's house, which had been burnt down on the preceding night. The deceased was only eleven years Ind seven months old ; and besides him two others lost their lives. Verdict—Accidental Death. Saturday morning as the Windsor coach was pas sing Longford, a young man, servant to Mr. ADAMS, near that place, asked the coachman's permission to ride, to which he assented. He had not been long seated before he fell to the ground : he was taken up and put in the coach, and carried to the first public house, where it was found he was quite dead. Yesterday morning the residence of Miss Etrettstt, in Brompton-row, and two Gentlemen's houses, in Michael's-place, were broken open and robbed of plate, and other' articles of value, althouh there were two private watchmen within a stone s throw of each other. They also carried off the provisions frdm Mr. Blom' s, and Mr. LEACH'S, in Brampton row. To shew how systematic are their proceedings, they had the temerity to carry off a ladder left by some work people. The house of Mr. BERNE was also attempted ; but one of the female servants being alar med, and getting up, the villains fled. A Mr. Taas- LovE's has been three times assailed ; and Mr. GOR• 'she's twice. Thursday, John Weston was convicted before two of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the City of Oxford, of maliciously and wilfully preventiug John Bradstreet, cordwainer, from employing Thomas Slade and George Meyland in his manufacture, trade, or business ; and, by virtue of the statute foriprevent ing unlawful combinations, he was eommitted to thip l City Jail for three calendar months. Advices from Demerara state, that the slave com monly called Captain Frank, who caused the negroes on the Beehive Estate, belonging to B. Van Bark, Esq. to revolt, in March last, and who commanded them while they continued in a state of insubordina tion, was executed on the 6th ultimo, dressed in all the paraphernalia of 06.9ises opposite to the said estate, and his head was seve red from his body, and placed on a pole on the spot where he was executed. The negroes whom he had misled, but who after wards returned to their duty, and were therefore par Boned, as well as the others belonging to the estate. were present at the awful ceremony. Captain F.'s wife has received SOO.lashes, and been sentenced to, work the remainder of her life in chains, in come. quence of having most inhumanly murdered two Eag ' lishmen, who went oat for the purpose of persuading the negroes to return to their usual occupations. • -- .. On Friday and Saturday, there were jarge gnats tities of Cotton Wool, of every description, offered for public sale in Liverpool,•but the buyers were by no means numerous, and the result was unfavourable to the market. Bengals and Tennessees fell id. per pound ; Bahias and Bowed: ld. the latter are hardly Saleable at any price-1112 bales were disposed of by public sale, at the reduction above quoted ;—by private sale there Is very little doing ; and as the im portations so much exceed the demand, there is no prospect of any amendment in the prices. The im ports of the week have been greater than ever were known within the same given period. Letters of the 28th ult. from New York, speak of trade having much improved—as a corroboration of which, they contain extensive orders for manufac tured goods, particularly in the silk and fancy lines. We also learn, from one of the first Yorkshire Houses, that very extensive order's for Woollen-cloths have been ieceived within these few days, both from America and the countries bordering on the Baltic— one House alone has received an•order td the amount of £60,000 from Russia. • SCHOLASTIC ESTABLISHMENT. A sum of ,C70,000' has been lately bequeathed to the Parish of DoUar, in Clackmannanshire, Scotland, by a person of the name of MACNAII, whose history and connection with the parish is very imperfectly knotrn. The money is left at the sole disposal of the Minister and Kirk Session of Dollar, a parish con taining only about 800 persons The present Minister is theltev. ANDRZW MYLNZ, a gentleman long emi neat as a teacher in Edinburgh, and the Author of several rideable Works on Education. It is propos ed, we understand, to employ the money in forming an Academy, which will be the most extensive in Scotland, and perhaps in Britain.. Besides teachers for English, Latin, Greek, and the modem languages, there will be Professors of Botany, Practical Chemi stry, Mathematic, Natural History, Moral Philosophy, and some other branches. The details of the plan are not yet sufficiently matured for the public eye. W. Witaaaroaca, M.P. and Lady are on a visit to Jona LAsa, Esq. of King's Bromley, Staffordshire." A dish of green peas was last week gathered in a garden at Shepton-Mallet ; and there is at present growing in the same garden, on a vine, a second crop of grapes, now as large as peas. Thursday, General GOUROAUD was landed from on board the Castlereagh packet, at Cuxhaven, and im mediately set at liberty. A private letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, says—ft Mr. ROWCROFT, from London, is here, to represent to his Majesty the Emperor of ResstA, the hard case of the British merchants whose property was confis cated in 1810, in the Russian ports, in execution of the severe decrees of the Continental System. He has been at Petersburgh, reclaiming indemnity for this spoliation, to which the Russian Government pro fessed to have been reluctantly compelled by its ex isting treaties with the author of that system. The same compulsion, it would appear, does not exist to restore the property thus confiscated, Which amounts to upwards of a million ; and this active agent ofjhe sufferers has been as yet unable to obtain any suit . rectory answer to these detente." actemott has been.playing successfully since his return from America, at Manchester, Liverpool, and Bberseld, and is now arrived in London. His return from America, where be might have secured an in dependent fortune, is said to have been hastened by the alarming illness of Mrs. Incranow. the climate not being congenial also to his own health. • Costionauras.--6-Why is the Duke of WILLING• voles toe like the first syllable of an Epic Poem ? because it is part of an heroicfoot.--Why is Ireland foie to be the richest country in the world ?—because its capital is always doubling (Dublin !)—Why is a bad pun.like a piece of bread in portable soup ?—be- Cause it is in-soup portable! ! !

GLOUCESTER, Nov. 21.—Monday last arrived in this' city, MIERZA JADIAR and MICIAZA SAULIib two of the distinguished personages who were sent into this country three years since, by ARRAS MRERZA, the reigning Prince of Persia. On Tuesday they viewed our Cathedral and the County jail ; the sub lime and beautiful architecture of the holy pile, ap peared to impress them with reverence for its pious use ;their visit to the jail was highly gratifying to their attendants, these distinguished foreigner -mi nutely inspected every thing which was directed to their notice; and on loping the building, said all appeared to be conducted on the principle of hums , any and cleanliness. They expressed a wish that their own country possessed such , au excellent esta.. blishment. On Wednesday they visited the Cloth ' Manufactory of Messrs. Davis, BOARD, and Dkws ion Thursday our . Shire-hall, and the Pin Manufacr ltory of Messrs. Dila:iron) and Co. The making of pins seemed to afford them high gratification, which was principally caused by the employment of se many poor Pr people of all ages.

About three weeks age the prisoner accessed the complainant in an evening's walk at Wahvorth ; a few even ings sibsequent to the first meeting she again saw him, when Ise made a declaration of attachment to her and wished to be intro duced to her family. fie represented him.elf as the nephew of Mr. Beale, of-Kennington, and entitled, upcin the deatlrof that Gentleman, to £BOOO.
