CEREMONIALS TO BE OBSERVED AT THE FUNE RAL OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF YoBK. • - His Majesty basing signified his pleasure that the utmost possible respect shall be paid to the remains of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, for this purpose consultations were yesterday held between Mr. Mash, of the Cliamberlain s Office, the Officers of the Her aids' College, and Mr. Bailey, his Majesty's upholsterer, to carry into effect the arrangements made for the inter ment of some of the members of the Royal Family. THR BODY. It was at first the wish of his Majesty that the body of the deceased should be disembowelled and embalmed in the usual way; but it now seems, from the state to which it has been reduced, that the ceremony of dis embowelling cannot be performed, and that the atten tion of the medical men will be confined to such means as are best calculated to prevrnt further decay. Up to yesterday, the body remained as it had been laid out by Mr. Bailey, on a board, which was placed on a couch, in the same room in which the deceased breathed his last, svhere.it has been constantly watched by persons appointed for that purpose. The leaden coffin was taken to Arlington•street on Sunday night, and the body was placed within it yesterday evening. The outer case, which will be covered with rich crimson Genoa •elvet, is in the hands of the workmen, and will be finished at soon as possible; and this done,.the plate containing the titles of the deceased will be furnished by the Heralds College, and placed upon it. After this, it will be re moved to Arlington street ; and the leaden coffin having been enclosed, it will be placed on trestles, there to re• main, until conveyed to St. James's Palace. THE LAYING IN STATE. This part of the. ceremony will take place in a new State room.. Which was finished under the direction of hit present Majesty, about three years back, in St. James's Palace, and will commence on Thursday. the 18th instant, and continue to the close of the following Iday. The public will be admitted through the New Gallery, and, entering at one end, will pass completely through the state room, and retire by the private cham ber and guard room, at the other. These rooms will be completely hung with black, and the banner style of drapery will be adopted as the most appropriate to the military rank of the deceased. A splendid canopy will be prepared for the occasion —under which the ci,ffin will be placed. From this canopy luxuriant drapery of black velvet will be sus pended, and at the back, over the bead of the deceased, will appear the Royal arms, richly emblazoned. The room will also be hung with escutcheons and silver branches—wße the coats itself will be 'surrounded with was torches in massive silver candlesticks. Every facility be afforded to the admission of the public, and no ro sins will be spared to add to the mournful magnificence of the scene. Tull FUNERAL. ._ . The Funeral will take place on Saturday week, and be cavalcade will move in procession from St. James's Palace to the Castle at Windsor, without stopping. On this occasion, all the military which can be spared from actual duty will be called into requisition, as it is in ded to embrace every military honour which can be , oggested. All the yeomanry corps in the vicinity of Ee metropolis will also, no doubt, volunteer their ser a ces on the occasion, and minute guns will probably be I . red throughout the movement of the cavalcade. The body will be placed in an elegant hearse, bearing he arms of the•deceased, and will be drawn by eight f his Majesty's black horses, which will 'be relieved at tated places. All the Church bells of the metropolis, day, andno dobbi -- the 4 p * ubliewM iris 'with each oth in manifesting their respect and affection for the me mory of a Prince, whose conduct through life had ren dered him so deservedly popular. The ceremony of Lying in State would have taken place at the Castle of Windsor; but, from the state of that noble edifice at the present moment, arising from the alterations in pro gress, there is not a suite of rooms capable of being de• voted to such a purpose. with anything like convenience. TiIIiINTERAIENT: It is expected that the cavalcade will reach Windsor by eleven o'clock at night ; and the road, for the latter part of the journey, will be illumined by torches. On the body teaching the Castle, it will be immedi- ' ately carried to St. George's Chapel, where it will be' placed on trestles, in the centre aisle, till the mourners, and other persons who will be appointed to follow it to the vault, shall have been duly marshalled. The pro-, cession will then move on to the interior of the Chapel, and the coffin will be placed under a canopy which will be prepared for the purpose, and, at the closing scene,' after the Funeral Service shall be read,will be gradually lowered into the passage which leads to the Royal Mausoleum. Garter King at Arms will then proclaim the styles and titles of the deceased in the custonsaryforas. It is anticipated, that their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Clarence, Sussex, and Cambridge (if he should arrive in time) will follow as Chief Mourners. All his Majesty's Ministers and great Officers of Sate will also, be present. It WAS a subject of melancholy reflection to those Gen:lemen who were yesterday engaged in giving direc-' tions for banging the new State Room with mourning drapery., that only a year and a halt back, the Illustrious Individgal tar whum these last tributes of respect were preparing, had appeared in that very room, at a ball given by his Majesty, in the full vigour of health, and in the enjoyment of the most. buoyant spirits—be is said never to have appeared more happy. Previous to supper he danceetseveiarquadrilles,and subsequently,owleading some Lades back to the joyous scene, he exclaimed, '• Come, let us have a country dance—let us go back to the days of our childhood, and forget that we are not still young." The music immediately struck up, .nd he went down the dance with as much grape and spirit as nine-tenths of the young Nobility by whom he was surrounded. IROM THE COURT NEWSIiAN. Yesterday, the workmen employed in building the new Palace for the K ng, in St. James's Park, were-al lowed to resume their labours, as were those employed in building the houie for the Duke and Duchess of Clarence; but not so with those engaged .on the new house which had been intended for the future residence of the departed Duke. The King's Guard mounted and dismounted again yeatetday without the band playing. The British Museum and the National Gallery were closed yes terday from the public, in conserence of the melancholy event. Saturday and yesterdx/ great numbers of the Nobility and Gentry, as well as the Foreign Ambassadors and Minister s and their Ladies, called at the residences of the Princess Augusta, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Sophia, the Duchesi.of. Kent, and the Duke' of Sussex, and left their namis and con dolences on the demise of the -Duke of York. The Funeral. of the lartit•nrest Duke, it is expected, will be conducted as heir p4alinptive to the Throne and rommander-in-Chlef, but notes a Field Marthal. Yesterdal,mornink Mn" MO, - Mr. Bailey , and Mr. Hunt, met at the King's P.ilace, St. James 1, to make arrangements for the Lying in State of the remains of the Duke of You k. The apartment fixed upon for that purpose, is the great. Chamber in which the grand ball was given by the King. The pdblic at large are so be atlneltietl, with no other restric tions than being respectably dresuesiTiat least the arrangements are such at present. • • To prevent confusion, the pale are to sneer by the door of the entree, and to return by the new opening opposite Marlborough House. The face of the Royal Cape returned vay nearly to the same appearance that it exhibited when his Royal Memo was in the enjoyment of good health, with the good-natured sadie which was in general upon the Royal Duke's countenance. Last evening, at half past eight o'clock, the King's Serjeant Surgeon,' Mr.'Nassey, the King's Apothecary, and Mr. Brande, Apothecary to the late Duke, assem bled at Rutland House, and commenced embalming the body of the late Duke without the disimbowelling, but simply wrapping the body in wed cloth, which occu pied them about an hour and a half. ' Mr. Bailey, the King's cabinetmaker and upholsterer, was in attendance, with a number of assistants, and pro ceeded to place the Royal corpse in a coffin, made of mahogany, lined with white satin, which was enclosed in one of lead. ' The Medical Gentlemen that mimed the process of embalming, and filled up the culla with spices. Mr. Hetroyd, the Kings plumber, afterwards soldered op the leaden coin. • It will be within the remembrance of our readers, that on Friday week his Majesty came to town, in order to visit the Duke of York, and that an interview took place in the course of the day, between the Royal Brothers, which was of the most painful description. We understand that his Majesty was borne out of ' the room in a state of extreme agitation. ,?he King was inexpressibly shocked, on witnessing the reduced condition and death-like appearance of his Royal High mess. On Sunday se'nnight, the Duke of York's symptoms assumed a decisive character. Sir Astley Cooper determinatto acquaint his Majesty of the hope less situation of his Royal patient. The Duke appeared, at that time to be dozing—his eyes were closed, and he was in a recumbent position on the chair, which he constantly lay on night and day. For nearly six months his Royal Highness had not been in a bed. The chair on which he reclined was made en an improved 'principle, and the back could be lowered horizontally, or raised vertically, at will. On the Sunday night, Sir Astley Cooper told one of the physicians that he in tended to proceed to Windsor. The Duke instantly opened his eyes, appeared perfectly sensible, and said, " S'r Astley, you will present my love to his Majesty, and say I am getting well." Sir Astley Cooper promised to comply with his Royal Highness's request, and left the room deeply affected. On the following day, his Royal Highness signed a nsernerandam, which he had desired to have drawn up, declaring his will concerning the disposition of the prio \ perty he possessed, and also relating to his foneral, This document, we believe, has been sent to his Majesty 4 It will be recollected, that on Tuesday and Wednes day last, the official reports of his Royal Highness's health stated, that he had passed quiet nights, and ap• peared better. The public anticipated the probability t his recovery, in consequence of the favourable Intel• ligence ; but his medical attendants were fully aware that the quietness and ease arose from the. - meat of mortification m *loser and that 'The physicians. had no expectation that his Royal Highneis would servlve Wednesday fist,'-but the cold weather retarded the progress of the mortification ; and, to their sitrpriser, his life was protracted two days longer. • For some months, his Royal Highness had not been able to stand, as his legs were swollen to an extra• ordinary site, and latterly were continually rested upon cushions. The attentions his Royal Highness received from his Noble Host, the Duke of Rutland, made a deep im pression upon his mind. His Majesty expressed a strong desire on Sunday se'nnight to pay a visit to the Duke on the following day; but his physicians advised his Majesty to remain at Windsor, because they were fearful that his Majesty's health would greatly suff:r by the pain that would be occasioned by another interview. Ta ice every day, messengers were dispatched to Windsor, to acquaint his Majesty of the State of the Duke's health. Friday morning, it was found that ppttoortification had nearly approached the vitals of the Royal patient, and all hopes of his surviving the day were at an end. The Duke of Sussex was the only member of the Royal Family at Rutland House when the demise of his Royal Highness took place. The medical attendants, and General Sir Herbert Taylor, and Col. Stevenson, were in the apartment when his 11 , tyal Highness expired. The Duke of Sussex burst into tears on being informed of the fatal event. It was precisely twenty.tfilee minutes past nine o'clock, by the watches of the physicians, when they found life was extinct. For some time previous to death, the brea•hing of his Royal Highness was SO faint, that upon a mil ror being placed over his mouth, It was hardly possible to ascertain that he respired ; and though he had at intervals, during the day, been cognizant of external objects, yet for the last few hours he was insen sible, and expired so easily, Oat it is believed he was a corpse several minutes before the fact was ascertained. At hall•past ten o'clock on Saturday morning the leaden coffin destined to contain the list temains of his Royal Highness, was conveyed from his Royal High ness's plumber's to the house of Mr. Bailey, in Mount street, where it is to be lined and decorated, preparatory to its removal to Rutland House. The affability and condescension of his Royal High. ness have ever been admired. In the private relations of life, he was kind, courteous, and sincere in his attach ments. A young and promising ethcer, named Drew, a native of the county of Clare, in Ireland, who served during a great pirt of the Peninsular campaign, bad the misfortune to lose his left arm in the memorable battle of Salamanca; for which he was invalided, with the half pay of Lieutenant, and compensation for the loss of the limb which he left on that " bloodensanguined field." Mr. D. was not one of those who love " inglo rious ease;" he pined not far the arm, but for his exclu sion from the field of 1 4 glorious strife." Soon after his reton: to England, he made several ineffectual applica tions to be placed once more on active service ; offers were held cut to him of a commission in one of the istefan battalions, but he rejected all such overtures. Chance, however, unexpectedly brought him under the notice of the Dicke of York, iu a situation at once novel and imposing, and eventually led to the accomplish. aunt of his only and still fondly cherished hopes. In his early life, Mr. Drew was remarkable for his skill in , horsemanship, and that now constituted his chief amusement.. Riding through the Park one morning. he perceived the Commander hs Chief and several of has Staff Officers coming towards him in the Ride; though mounted on a *nettlesome and rather unmanageable animal, Mr. Drew placed the reins in his mouth, and, as the militaiy cortege passed, he took off his hat, and gracefully saluted his Royal Highneu, who was so unscic.not only with the fine appearance of the " young veteran," but with the singularly elegant manner in which the action was performed, that lae directed one of the Officers to inquire the Gentleman's. name, &c. The card of Lieutenant Drew, half-pay, was returned, and, by the Duke's desire, the young soldier was com manded to attend the next Military Levee at the Horse Guards. it may be imagined that this mandate was joyfully complied with. On his introduction to the Levee.room, Mr. Drew found himself surrounded by the first Captains of the ; day, having their " blushing honours thick about them." An empty coat-sleeve was the only trophy exhibited by the unassuming halipay Lieutenant, but that proved a passport to the Ides. trious Personage who presided in this group of heroes. After a formal introduction, the Royal Duke entered' familiarly into conversation with Mr. Drew, as to the, nature and length of his service, and finally inquired whether he was satisfied with hit then situation. Mr. Drew admitted that the remuneration was more than equal to his deserts, but at the same time modestly hinted, that he had yet an arm which could wield a sword in defence of his King and country, and that, if his appointment to active service was compatible with military etiquette, he would consider himself peculiarly favoured. The Commander in Chief made no com ment on this address at the moment, but the appoint. meat of Mr. Drew to a company in the S4th Foot ap peared in the following Gazette. Throughout the entire et the Strand, Temple-bar, Meet-street, Ludgate-Idß. Ludgate-street, St. Paul's Church Yard, Cheapside, and Cortibill, there were yesterday but forty-eight shops out of. we suppose, at least one thousand. which bad not their shutters up. in =tenet of the melancholy to members of the Society of Friends, who never display any outward marks of regret, even upon the decease of their nearest re latives. Of the remainder, the principsl persons who had exposed for sale mourning, which they were determined to show off, and could not do so to advantage had the shop windows been closed.— Indeed, since the death of the late Princess Charlotte, so unequivo cal a feeling of ustivesal regret was sever so manifest.

At the Deptford Bench of Justices, on Saturday Isi Thomas Hughes, a licensed ret id newer. scalding a that place. appeared to answer to an infoemario charging him with retailing b er to be consumed( n th premises whets sold. he not being a licensed vietualle: contrary to the sth George IV. cap. 54, sec. 8, whereb he had subjected himself to a penalty of 100!. Tb defendant pleaded "Not Guilty • when George Posta Ross, an officer of Excise, deposed, that on the 25th November last, in pursuance of directions from Mi Robinson, the supervisor, he went to defendant' premises, and called for a pot of beer, and that woman who was behind the ccunter served him wit the same, after warming it at his request ; as hat he remained on the defendant's poesnises, stand ing near the counter, until he had thank the beet when he paid sixpence for it, and came away.— This witness, upon being cross examined by defend ant, stated, that there were no seats in the front of th counter, and that the distance from the counter to th 'door;wis about a yard and a half. After the above evidpnce had been given, the defendant stated that th woman who served the witness was his wife, ind ths he had no knowledge of the offence being in Londe on the day it was commi t t e d, an d therefore prayed fc mitigation. The 4:la,{iistrates, Capt. Evelyn and Thiims Shipman, Esq. after con:erring together, pronounce the defendant guilty ; but in consideration of his under taking to alter his premises, so as to prevent any reps tidos of the offence, mitigated the penalty to 251. an one shilling costs, the lowest fine the• law authorise them to inflict. It was understood that the attentin of the supervisor was drawn to the situation of defeat ant's premises by the publicans in the neighbourhoos Besides the above penalty, the defendant was also liabi to another fine of 1001. for selling the beer in gamin after ninein the evening; but the Commissioners Excise hulnanely directed a prosecution for onepenalt: After the above case was disposed of, Robt. Stirling a common brewer at Deptford, pleaded " Not Guilts to an informstioa charging him, under the Ist and I George IV. cap. 22, sec. 1, with beginning to mash quantity of malt on the 18th of October hest, withot having made the proper entry thereof in the book d livered to him by the Excise-officer for that purpos whereby he had forfei.ed 2001. A second count in tl information charged him with having caused the sal entry to be altered, whereby he had foldeited the furds sum of 2001. The officer of Excise who was to prr.ve the :boy charges against Mr. Stirling, now s.ood torward, an immediately the book was given him, kissed it veh anent ly, before Mr. Merchant, the M egiso ate.' clerk, had tiro to administer the usual form of oath. It was soon eviler that the witness was inebriated, and he appeared t have recently fallen down, as his nose was broken an bloody. The Magistrates remarked they thought improper to allow a person in such a c.mdition to sworn, and asked the supervisor if he had any °the witness to support the information? who replied in ti negative. The defendant here said that he had no wo to take advantage of the . state of the witness, bein anxious that his conduct should undergo intestigatin and therefore should not object to the case standar over. The Magistrates at first entertained a doui whether they could adjourn the he., ing after the Pendant's plea had been recorded,, but after ieferring " Paley en Convictions," they adjourned the case for week, and fined the Excise officer 6s. for being drun at the same time directing the supervisor to report b conduct to the Board of Excise. At the same sitting, John Martham. a wine an brandy merchant, at Deptford, WAS adjudged to forte two gallons and three quarts of brandy, an/ four ga loos of compounds, being an excess in his stock over II quantity for which he had credit in 'lir Excise boot ACTS OF BENEVOLENCE.

BRITISH GALLRRT.—The admirable collection of _ _ pictures exhibited at the British Gallery in Pall-Mall, during the last six month*, closed m Saturday. This exhibition consisted en. tirely of his Mwaraves pictures. Tt Is said that the British Toni tenon have netted a clear gain of about 5,00(1 during the season. In no provincial town throughout the kingdom, per haps, has the death of his Royal Highness tht Duke of, York been more deeply felt or more universally deplored than in Windsor. Intimately connected with the town from his earliest infancy, he acquired, during his pro-' Gress from youth to manhood, the sincere affection and regard of every class of society with whom he asso-. ciated—an affection that, throughout the whole course of his eventful life, was never for a single moment paired. While the pi incipal local festivities were more joyous through his presence, his heist aii4, band were alike prompt to relieve the pres s u r e of tress; and many a fervent prayer for his happiness been breathed in secret by those who were ;orb' publicly to proclaim their Royal Benefactor. Not • standing the protracted nature of his illness, had, some measure, prepared the minds of even the sanguine for the fatal result, yet, on the snivel of intelligence on Saturday morning, the sot row expreesee was as great as though the decease of the Royal Duke had been wholly uneapected. The melancholy tidings rapidly circulated, and the inhabitants, with a spon taneous and universal feeling. half closed the windows, of their shops and houses. At noon the great bell of the Castle and of the Parish Church commenced tolling, and throughout the town a general suspensiosi ..1 busi ness took place. His Royal Highness was High Steward of the Borough; and the urbanity and kindness which marked his performance of its vatious official duties will long be gratefully remembered. The last public ceremony anal: ch he ; resided was the laying the List, stone of the new bridge, on the 17th July, 1822; and few who then beheld his Royal Highress surrounded by all that was gay and brilliant, can think up o n the late melancholy event without feeling toe deepest sorrow— a sorrow that is only chastened by the ciinviction that hi. Royal Highness has exchanged an earthly cut for a celestial clown. ROTTIRDAbi, JAN. 4.—A building attached to powder-milli belonging to M. P. Snellem blew vp • la tremendous explosion.
