HER LATE MAJESTY. The respectful tribute paid by the Citizens of Lon don to the memory of their QUEEN was more general vster.lay than it was immediately upon her decease. Et Fleet -street, the Strand, Piccadilly, Pall-mall, and the intersecting streets, we did not see a single shop the windows of which were not partially closed : many were shut up altogether; and at the cast end of the town the expression was equally decided. Many persons already appear in black ; certainly no Court Order will be necessary to make the mourning universal. These open demonstrations of regret have their value, because they broadly contradict those who have insulted and libelled the QUEEN, and who would (if they could) misrepresent the state of public opinion : for the rest, it is not pomp of oatward, show, " not customary suits of solemn black," that can denote the feelings of the British peoplo truly. Carlton Palace was close shut up. The Public Theatres were closed on Wednesday night, but they were open yesterday evening, and will be closed again only on the night of the funeral. The arrange. meats respecting that last solemn ceremony cannot be finally fixed until an answer shall have been re cs:ived to the dispatches sent to his MAJESTY. All the ships in the River have had their ti tgs half-mast high, since Wednesday morning, with the exception of the Government tender, lying off the Tower; but yesterday this vessel also lowered its flag. It was stated in some of the I .3 4i)ers, the other day, that her MAJESTY sat up in a chair for some time on the day preceding that on which she .died. We learn that on this occasion she pointed out a particu lar tireA which she wished to wear. She was ac cordingly attired as she requested, and placed by her female attendants in her sofa-chair. Shortly after, the Physicians came into the room, and manifested by signs son:c surprise and disapprobation towards the attendants in consequence. Her MAJESTY, ill as she was, immediately perceived this, and said, l lood-lturnouredly, 14 Gentlemen, they have but obeyed the ordels of a Queen. And suppose their doing so should shorten my mortality a few hours— of what consequence is it? Can it be material whe- diet my worldly sufferings end this day or to-mor row?"—There have been many conjectures as to the jrnmediate cause of her Alsatsrv's illness. We have every reason to believe, from a multitude of inqui ries we have made, that, independent of the general state of suspense and agitation in which her Mt- Jens' may naturally be supposed to have passed her time since her last arrival in England, the circum stances attendant on her visit to the scene of the Coronation, ob the morning of the 19th July, may have materially contributed to bring on that crisis which terminated in her dissolution. On that eventful day her MAJESTY, very thinly attired, and almost with the first dawn of morning, set out in an open carriage from Brandenburgh-House on her way to Westminster, with feelings more easily imagined than described. The reception she there met with has been already fully and faithfully de tailed in this Journal. But it was evident to her per sonal attendants, that notwithstanding all that had passed, she had still calculated upon being received as became her high station, and that she suffered the dee i rest disappointment in consequence. Thencefor ward her Maar,s - ry became more than ordinarily thoughtful and melancholy: her state of mind at times approached even to despondency, and she was frequently indisposed slightly. lii a few days afterwards she signified her inten-* tioa of visiting Drury-Lane Theatre again, and her attendants looked forward to the appointed day with pleasure, in the hope that the amusement might tend to dispel her melancholy. Some hours before the time, harrever, her MAJESTY was attacked by exces sive sickness at the stomach. Her Ladies, who for many days had been anxiously contemplating her declining health, became alarmed, and strenuously prayed her to relinquish her intention of visiting the Theatre. lier MAJESTY, with a manifestly forced cheerfulness, replied—.. Why should I not go ? I shall be well crirectly. My going has been an nounced in the bills and papers of the day: it may be that some persons will go there also because of it, and I never will di.appoint even a single indivi dual whilst I have the power to avoid so doing."— She then ordered a quantity of warm water, of which she drank copiously, which had its usual effect; and she then went to the Theatre as she had appointed. But her indisposition increased even whilst she was there; and went on accumulating till it terminated in her death. The malady, however, was not, we have good authority for believing, of recent origin.' This unfortunate Princess had been more than once attacked by the same disease, and about two years ago, when she resided at. Pesaro, it assumed so alarm ing an appearance, that the Physicians, during a period of three days, were in momentary expectation that the result would prove fatal. The following anecdote illustrates her Nlaaarry's kind disposition, and the complacency with which she regarded the termination of her lifer -4g The QUEEN mid the domestics that attended her on Sunday last, that she Ss ished Mr. Busch to come to measure her for her coffin; she asked again if he was come ; the servants made excuses: she told them he must make the shell of cedar-wood. Mr. BUSCH had done a little woe k for her in cedar-wood (a bcokcase), at Con- naught-place, before she left England, and lately she gave him an order to make a writing-desk of cedar wood, an exact copy of one she had bought at the Litz Duke of KENT'S sale: this was made, and when finished, sent to her house in South Audley-street ; and she ordered the one bought at the Duke of KEN is to he sent to Mr. Alderman.Wooo, because she had heard that he had given an order to Mr. DENEW, the au,•tion,:er, to purchase the desk, as he was anxious to have it as a relic of the Duke of KENT, having seen him frequently writing at it. This was twelve months ago, and Mr. Alderman WOOD had never thought of it, until she sent the desk. But this was her MAJESTY'S disposition ; she was always planning 'to do so ne kind act. The executors having seen LOrd LIVERPOOL, and the Government undertaker being ordered to arrange for the fdneral, they have e.mplied with bet MAJkSTY'S wish. Mr. Busch was sen: for, and lie made the shell." The t o!lo tying circu nmances are strongly illustrative of her MAJKSTY'S conscious innocence, and the sweet ness of her disposition. On Saturday night last, when ber l'io:essional Advisers were talking with her re speeting her world 1) atrairs, one of them suggested the propriety of sending a messenger to Italy to sea 1— • up her papers , to prevent their falling into the hands of her enemies.-- , And what if they do 7 exclaimed her MAJESTY, have no papers that they may not see: they can find nothing, because there is nothings nnr ever has been, to impeach my character:—Her 1 Tal adviser said he was perfectly aware of that ; but lie could not but believe that her enemies might put there what they did not find. She replied,' that she had always defied their malice, and she defied it still. The other anecdote shews how careful she whom almost all parties and persons had in turn wounded, was of wounding the feelings of others. To amuse herself she was generally occupied two or three hours of a morning in committing to a diary various retie& tions on the events of the preceding day, and as she had a great relish for humour, she had (as she herself as.erted) sometimes indulged herself with recording any peculiarity of character that forced itylf on her notice. Her MAJESTY said, that the sole purpose of this journal was to while away a few hours of time that sometimes hung rather heavily, and that the purpose having been answered, it was now proper to', destroy the book, especially as, though written with' no such intention, it might cause pain where she should grieve to produce anything but pleasure. She therefore ordered MARIETTE BRUNE to burn the diary, and the gill accordingly burnt it. Those who knew the tact, the unerring sagacity, with which her MAJESTY appreciated the character of people almost at first sight, with the singular point and spirit of her phraseology, will regret the destruction of this manu script as a serious loss, but all will admire the deli cacy of mind which dictated its destruction. . An anxious observer of the state of her MAJESTY'S mind in the latter melancholy period of her life, has made the following remarks: 14 She has fallen the victim of the most cruel and unrelenting persecution : she must have been more than woman, more than mortal, not to have felt her wrongs ; she was a heroine, and suppressed them; all but those who hare an interest to say otherwise, must believe and affirm that she literally died of grief; for the disease which brought her to the grave was occa sioned by the suppression of sorrow. Apparently she was ever thegayest of the company, the life of the house she made so happy, by her kindness and affability. —She would not that even her friends, her dearest friends, should know how much she suffered but it is difficult always to d ec ei v e th e anx i ous e y e of affec tion and devoted friendship; and those who were most with her, and knew her best, saw with pain that her spirits were all forced—that her gaiety was not that of :he heart—that she suffered most deeply, and felt all her wrongs with the most bitter anguish, the more heart-rending that she would not admit the sympathy of friendship, for she would never own her grief ; yet, sometimes, when to a casual observer she appeared to be fully engaged at any amusement she WAS fond of—when she seemed the most free from care or thought, those who watched her every look with the anxious eye of devoted attachment and fide lity, have seen the tear of silent agony steal down her cheek when she thought no one was near who could observe that the QUEEN of ENGLAND wept at the cruelty of her malignant enemies. Few things during the last year of her trials and sufferings gave her so much pain as the circumstance of her refusal to ac cept of the grant from Parliament. She had originally determined in her own mind to accept it, as the first gracious act of the Sovereign towards her; but she was otherwise advised, and she yielded to that advice.— But the severest blow to her feelings was the neces sity which forced her for once to submit to retract what she had said: firm as she was of purpose and always decisive, to yield to her enemies inflicted a wound she never recovered : and what gave more anguish still, was the thought that her enemies would in triumph exclaim " She had yielded." And for what? For money ; which she cared not for; and which, at last, she only accepted to enable her to pay her debts; for, at the moment she agreed to accept the money from Parliament, she had not £lO in the house to detray the common expenses of the day, and nothing at her banker's. She expected that, on her agreeing to take the grant, Government would have given her a house and some outfit for her esta blishment, when she would have paid all her debts, and would have been quite satisfied as to pecuniary affairs, for she never valued money for her own per sonal gratification. Instead of this, they deducted upwards of £4,000, which they had paid for a car riage and house-rent:' It is expected that the Committee who managed the Procession to St. Paul's Cathedral, will make some arrangement with the various Parishes of the Metropolis for some mode of testifying their last respect to their QUEEN. It is supposed that a voluntary Procession, more honourable than mil lions of hired mourners, will accompany the•corpse some considerable portion of the way to Harwich.— The Corporation of London will no doubt form part of this solemn cortege. It is calculated that the Pro cession will be three days going to Harwich ; and it is proposed that an escort of Cavalry shall go with the hearse to the place of embarkation, when a Guard of Honour will be sent on board the ship to accom pany the body to its final destination. The Executors will attend the closing scene. A considerable change took place yesterday in the appearance of the Royal corpse. On Wednesday nothing could exceed the calm dignity of her MA JESTY'S face, and we have reason to believe that an eminent Artist was employed to take a cast of the features. Yesterday that gradual decomposition took place, which, considering the violence of her MA' JESTY'S disorder, it was wonderful had not taken place sooner, and it would not have been possible to do justice to her fine expressive countenance. Lady HOOD and Lady ANNE HAMILTON alternately remain beside the Royal corpse—thus shewing themselves as attentive to their dead as they were to their living Mistress. Yesterday morning the body of her MAJESTY was enveloped in a cere-cloth, by Mr. TuomPSON, her MA JESTY'S Apothecary, and his assistants, in the pre sence of Dr. HOLLAND; and between eight and nine o'clock in the evening it was placed in a shell of cedar wood. Lord and Lady Hoot), and Lady ANNE IlAstitToN, were ple3eitt when the body was put into the shell. Her MAJESTY, before her dissolution, gave direc tions that the shell should be made by a cabinet maker who had, since her MAJESTY'S arrival in Eng land, been a very zealous friend, and who had manu • factired seberal attic/es of caMiet-work for her MAJESTY very recently, The exterior coffin is making, not it Messrs:rttANcE and BA NTING'S, as erroneously states, but at Messrs. BAILEY and SA UNDEES% in Mount-street upholsterers to his present MAJESTY. Messrs. TRANCE and BANt• INQ were the upholsterers of the late KING. The coffin, we understand, is to be of garter-blue velvet, with silver-gilt decorations, in the usual style of• Royal coffins. All the other prepara ion, for the in terment—such as the order of the ceremony, the style of mourning, and even the place of , epiilchre, we believe, wait the orders of his MAJEirv, in an swer to the dispatches which have been seat after the Court by the Cabinet Council holden on Wcdues day last. _ _ Mr. WILDE, and Mr. Fox, of Doctors' Commons, were the only arrivals at Brandenhurgh House yes terday, and they remained till late in .the evening. Several persons have called at Branienburgh House, and expressed a wish to see the remains of her MAJESTY; but, in compliance with her MA JESTY S wish, " not to be made a sliew of," it was thought proper to refuse the applicants their request. At Fulham, when the death of the QUEEN was first known, the Churchwardens gave directions that the bell should immediately be tolled. This the Re verend Rector opposed, but the right vested in these Gentlemen by virtue of their office could not be dis puted, and, by their order, the bell immediately com menced tolling. In consequence of the lamented death of the Queex, the Master and NVardens of the Stationers Company, have given directions that - the intended dinner at the Hall, on Thursday, the 16th instant, shall be post-' I poned to some future day. Yesterday, being the annual Inauguration-day of, investing the Master of the Drapers' Company for I the ensuing year, the grand ceremony usually ob served upon that occasion was dispensed with, on account of the death of her MAJESTY. A large party of the Gentlemen of the Company, amongst whom was the LORD MAxon, partook of an elegant dinner at their Hall. The death of her MAJESTY will produce a consi derable change in the situation at the Bar of Messrs. BROUGHAM and DENMAN, her Attorney and Solici tor-General. The military band which generally plays whilst the Regiments mounting the KING'S guard in St. James's Park relieve each other, has not played since her MAJESTY'S decease. The same mournful silence is observed in marching to or from their _barracks in Portman -street, Portman-square. THE QUEEN'S WILL.—We mentioned yesterday that the QUEEN is reported to have left the greater part of her property, which could not be consider able, to Mr. WILLIAM AUSTIN She is said to have left her carriages and horses to Dr. LUSHINGTON.-- These is also a request that Goverpme2t would pay £lOOO due on Cambridge House, and £5OO to Lord HOOD. There are some minor bequests to her domestics. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF HER LATE MAJESTY, QUEEN CAROLINE. Her MAJESTY was the second daughter and fifth child of the late CHARLES WILLIAM FERDINAND, Duke of BRUNSWICK WOLFENBUTTLE, by the Prin cess AUGUSTA, daughter of his Royal Highness the, late FREDERICK LEWIS, Prince of WALES ' and sister of our late revered and mo s t gr a c i ous Sovereign, King GEORGE 111. The Princess was considered by the Court and the P6ople of England as a most de sirable match for his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES. The marriage of their Royal Highnesses, after a short negotiation, took place on the Bth of April, 1795, in the presence of the Royal Family, and of the principal Nobility in the kingdom. No thing could be more magnificent than the celebra tion of these nuptials, nor more touching than the joy which all classes of the people testified on the occasion. Addresses were poured in from every part of the country, to congratulate the Royal couple on their union; and when, in a few months afterwards, it was understood that the Princess was in a way to give an heir to the Throne, the happiness of the People was at its height. Within a very few months, however, after the Royal nuptials, domestic differences arose, of what nature We cannot distinctly state. These unhappy differences, from whatever cause they sprung, terminated in a separation within three, months after the birth of the late lamented Princess CHARLOTTE, which happened on the 7th of January, 1796. The Princess of WALes became the inhabitant of a separate establishment on Blackheath. During her residence here, her Royal Highness formed an acquaintance with SirJoHN and Lady DOUGLAS, who were her constant associates. After a lapse of some time, her Royal Highness was informed of circum stances which induced her to decline the connection, which laid the foundation of what is known by the name of the "Delicate Investigation." But though the Princess was cleared of the charge imputed to her by two successive commissions of the Cabinet Council, and subsequently by - her Sovereign and Uncle, her domestic disquietude was not removed ; she-was still an exile from Court, her intercourse with her daugh ter restricted, and her actions as closely watched as ever. She adopted the resolution of seeking comfort abroad, and accordingly, in the year 1814., the Prin cess quitted England, very much against the advice of her confidential friends, Mr. WHITBREAD and Mr. BROUGHAM. The circumstances attending her residence on the Continent ale too recent in the recollections of Eng lishmen to require enumeration. The same observa tions apply to the interval from her MAJESTY'S re turn to England, in June last, to the commencement of the malady which terminated in her dissolution. Her MAJESTY was born May 17, 1768, and died on the 7th of the present month, at the age of 53 years, two months, and 21 days. DatntY-LANE.—This Theatre, which had been closed in pursuance to orders from the Lord Cham berlain's Otlice, waslast night re-openeJ. The pc'. formances were, The Coronation, preceded by die Liar, and followed by Giovanni in Loudon. HAYMARKET.—This Theatre re-opened last night with Sylvester Duaaertooad, :Lase and Fall, and For tune's I,ulic, and was well attended. ENGLISH OPERA Hotisz.—The new comic Piece of Two Wives was pet formed for the second time last night, with (if possible) increased eclat. FURTHER INTEKES77.Va PARTICUG4I'' `This morning an interview took plate at the Ho . Department o.fice, between Sir Geottoc NaTiett. the Heralds' College, and Mr. limmotisr., the UP • Secretary of State, for the purpose of making snr necessary prepa•ations, and for issuing orders for gulating the procession, on the removal of her M itsTv's body from town to Harwich. Mr. - Thomas, of the Lord Charnberlain's Ofrit o and Mr. Ilamtv, of the house of Bailey and Saul dcrs, his Ai AJ F:4resCabinet-rna kers and Upholstere subsequently had an interview with Mr. Hosuousr, and it was determined to proceed with the funela pcparation only as far as would be requisite, ut••• his AIA.Jr ;TV should decide whether her MAJESTY'S I elnilin3 should be it:ttried either at Windsor ( To-morrow is the day at present fixed for the re. moval of the body from l3randenburgh House, at„ her /sl4.rEsTv's Household Only, will be allowed ti form part of the funeral procession; but it depeit.:s entirely upon the arrival of an express with dis patches from Ireland, whether the removal will take place to-nu:110W or not. Her NIAJEsTv's coffin (the interior one) is lined with white satin, the bottom is covered with a satin mattress, and a pillow of the same at the head. I ler MAJESTY, prior to her dissolution, expressed a wish to be buried in a night-dress of her own, and not in a shroud ; her wish was complied with, and yesterday Mr. BAILEY and his assistants, in the pre sence of Lord HOOD, Lady Hoon, Lady HAMILTON, Mr.Wvi.ne, Alderman WOOD, &c. removed the body from' the board on which it was laid out, into the coffin, it having been previously attired in the grave clothes, viz. a long white linen night-gown, with a frill round the neck, and a plain cap on the head. The body being within the lea Jen coffin, several men went down last night to solder it up; but her MAJESTY'S executors and their friends determined' that it should not be closed up till the arrival of in telligence from his MAJESTY. This morning work men went to Brandenburgh House, from Messrs. BAILEY and SAUNDERS, to darken the room which Contains the QUERN'S body. The windows and walls are covering with black cloth, and the apartment will have a very impressive funereal aspect. Wax lights will be burnt night and day, and some of her MaJesvy's friends will sit by the corpse continually till it is removed. TILE QUEEN'S COFFIN.—The outside coffin is nearly completed, except the plate, which will not be engraved till orders are received from Govern. ment, with the form of the inscription to be placed thereon ; it is made of fine mahogany, covered with crimson velvet, with gold furniture, and gold nails, ornamentally placed in the form of diamonds on the sides, and the lid and ends come pending.— The cedar coffin was made by Mr. JARVIS, of Pic cadilly, for Mr. Buscit, the person who had made some cabinet work for her MAJESTY. Her MA-. „testes coffin is very superb, and is precisely of the same size, form, and material, as that of her late MAJESTY. THE WlLL.—.This afternoon her MAJESTY'S Will is to be opened, in the presence of a Gentleman, on the part of his MAJEsTy's Government, appointed by the earl of LIVERPOOL, and her MAJESTY'S House hold. The seal has not yet been broken open since it was closed, some time before her MAJESTY'S death. The Duke and Duchess of CLA RENCE, the reign ing Duke of S.txc MEININGEN, and the Princess SOPHIA, speat Wednesday evening with the Duchess of KENT, at her residence at the King's Palace, at Kensington. Tuesday, the town of Kingston presented a scene of the most lively interest, being filled by Nobility and Gentry, who proceeded thither to partake of a Grand Festival in honour of his MAJESTY'S Corona don, given by C. N. PALMER, Esq. of Norburton House, Kingston. The Earl of LIVERPOOL and fa mily, the Duchess of 13ucct.Eucu, Lady KENNEDY, Sir B. BLoomFlELo's family, MASSY DAWSON, Esq. M.P. with a most numerous throng of the Nobility and Gentry, were present. Some temporary build ings were made in the Park and pleasure-grounds, similar to Bazaars, charged with a variety of fancy articles and ornaments, which were offered for sale by some elegant and fashionable young Ladies. The proceeds were applied in aid of a Charity School in the neighbourhood. The Band belonging to the 14th Light Dragoons, with two others, attended; a most sumptuous dinner was provided for the company, who were invited by Mr. PALMER ; prior to which the Charity Children, amounting to 260 girls and 300 boys, were led into the Park, and walked round it in the presence of the company, whilst the Bands played slow music, and afterwards partook of some tefreshment. In the course of the night sky-rockets, .serpents, globes, and every description of fireworks, were let off in the Park. Mr. ALLAANDRE, the ce lebrated Ventriloquist, was engaged, and amused the company in the Park wkb his powers in yen triloquisno—Mr. ALEXANDRE, we understand, left town ye,terday for Cheltenham, w hence he proceeds to Dublin, to gratify the Lis!) with the exhibition of his unrivalled powers. Saturday, at Carregnova, near T,lanymnech,' in North Wales, Mr. WA rkixs, a farmer, in getting over a stile, struck his le agaiw. a nail, which pierced an artery ; and before assbtaaLe could be procured he bled to death.
