FURTHER PARTICTEARS REEVE! YK TO HER ROYAL HIi;HNE:SI TILE PRINCESS cliAitLorrn. The body of her Royal Highness the Princess Char lotte of Wales, as we befoie Mated, and according to ancient custom, on the demise of any member of the Royal Family was embalmed on Friday evening: the internal parts were deposited in an urn prepared fur that purpose. It is said, that in the pericardium gout two ounces of serum was timid. On Friday afternoon Sir Richard Croft left Claremont for London in Great affliction. It is understood that the usual Assn of lying in state will take place either at Clare mont or Windsor. The funeral rites will be solemnized at Windsov on Monday or Tuesday next week. Prince Leopold remains at Claremont. On Saturday evening, in .order to satisfy the natural curiosity of the neigh bourhood, the fillowing bulletin was issued at Clare mont-lodge :—" The Prince Leopold has had a bad night, but is more composed this morning." The Public, who already look with so much regard towards his Serene Highness, will be pleased to have the good opinion confirmed by a new trait, in perfect conthrmity with these respectable qualities which have already transpired as belonging to hint. It appears, that when his Highness rise on Saturday morning, which he did at a very early hour, the first step which he took towards consoling his own afflictions was by alleviating the distress of others. He ordered 1501. to be distributod among the poor dircharged workmen who had been employed in the improvement on the grounds at Claremont. Thus the first thought which he allowed to interfere with his deep sense of his over whelming loss, was an attention to the comforts of others. This is indeed the noblest and wisest mode of soothing his sorrows, though, at the same time, it makes our regret the keener, that such a mind should have such cause of anguish. Yesterday morning another bulletin was issued re specting the State of his Serene Highness : it mentioned that he had had a calm night, and was rather better than on the preeeeding day. He was present at divine service, in company with his principal attendants and domestics ; and was afterwards prevailed to walk a little while in the park, along with the Rev. Dr. Short. His Serene Highness has taken scarcely any refresh ment since his irreparable loss : he is, theretbre, ex- ceedingly weak iu I>ody, though his mind seems gra dually to acquire strength. Indeed, he needs all his fortitude to go through the mournhil preparations which are necessary fbr the approaching funeral of his beloved Princess. These, however, are conducted in a manner as little obstrusive as possible, under the con siderate arrangements of Messrs. France and- Minting. On Saturday evening about 10 o'clock, a hearse, and four with the coffins, and followed by a mourning coach, arrived at the pirate entrance to the lolge: the co:hos were carried to the bed-roo.n, and placed - on the . Vessels by tle proper servants ; and the mournful tusk of consigning the hotly of the Princess to this narrow Lorne was performed by Mr. Neville, the surgeon, and Mrs. Griaiths, the nurse. The superior attendants, in cluding Lord John' Thymic, who witnessed this sad e.-re4ony, were dissolved in tears; but not a word was spiel:. There are two collies midi arc destined to coutdn all that is left on earth of what so short a time ago was life and sprightliness, and generosity and af fection ; the inside receptacle is made of mahogany, the outsiae of lead. During this trying period, Prince Leo pold has received three visits of cmulolence ; one on Sa turday from the Duke of Cumberland ; and two ves terday, f..orx the Duke t.,t' Voelz, and the Duke of Glou cester; the laths s.ayed u long dale with his afflicted relative. DEPARTURE OF IIE:t MAJESTY, &c. Fro . B.ITII .--At six on Saturday mornite s ;, Major-G=l:l.. Taykr set oft for Windsor, after which hour the bust' of pre paration continued until the departure t , f tier Ik.lajesty. Befire 8, the different attendai.ts respectively entered their carriages, some of whom preeeded,Javd others fol lowed, the Royal carriage. Preci.iely at. 8 o'clock ller Majesty, accompanied by theyrinems Elizabeth, es- . - carted by ti party of the 15t1 Itoyol Hussar.:, lett their residence, nnd 'pursued their journey to Devizes, where they arrivulf ut ten minutes past ten. Here Her jetty dispensed with her military escort, as unsuitable to the nielanelloly occasion of their departure. The VA TION, POLICE. 11A RT,IIOIIOUG H -STREST. Thursday. Mr. itlohenscn arid Mr. Tay:ur. two. rrseevtab;e, wrre chargtstl with an assault ut dcr thr following ether IIiTIOUS circuinsumus:— . . ... _ It appeared that these gentleman, in company With two more, were returning home along the New Road, umauls Islington, after having dined with their friend Captain Campbell, of Paddirgton.— As they rode along, in a Itackney.coack, the driver saw a gentle man's carriage passing them at a very quick pace. There was no coachman on the box, hut, by the lights, he could perceive that there were sonic ladies inside, and a foutaran standing behind, 'who, from the darkness of the night, did not, he supposed, perceive their situa. Lion, as they did not seem alarmed or make any outcry. Having proceeded a little farther, the huckne) -coachman sew a person lying on the road, apparently dead. Before he could perceive him, his coach was within tut inch or two of passing over las head. Ile im mediately drew up, and mentioned the circumstance to the gentle men whom lie was thriving, and they, from motives of In:lnanity, came out, and asked him, as he was dressed in livery, whose servant he was. The fellow was beastly drunk, and immediately returned a most insolent answer. They shook him, endeavouring to preeril men him to rise, foe the purpose of remositg hint from so danger- OM a situation. Though unable to walk trout drunkoness, he hunt not lost the use of his tangue, for he continued to use the most ,cur filet's language to his benefactors. A gang of ruffianly looking fel lea s soon gathered round, the greater part of whom came front a aw public-1 near Alsop's-buildings. Six or eight of them Mime Matdy collared Mr. nteplanson, meeting that he :Amulet not Turku the drunken man in such a manner. Mr. Stephenson, thinking them a party ill robbers, raised his cane, and endeavoured to tn.:lre his way through the erowd, calling out at the same time for the watch. When the watchman came up, two or three of the party citargetl Mr. Stephenson, and hi'. friend, Mr. Taylor, with an as sault, in consequence of which they were conveyed to tin- watch house. _ _ Two of this mob appearoil at the office. and attenipml to prove ap assault, but their appear:time was very little calculated to obtain any cnalit for th , teatitiony, and Mr. Stephenson, with his friend, Mr. Tot'or, were discharged. The coachman, who was found lyintylninl; upon the road, wore a drab livery, and a cockade, such As arc worn by the sereants of mi litary men, with a buflpiece of cloth inside it. There was a comma on the buttoos. 'Phis may lead to tbe diseovery of a fellow who might othttwit esevin , tit teclion„ and whose (Intlikenebb had en dangered the lives of thr,:e or lour ladiu4, ho trarsecn in the coach, front the box of which he had fallen. GRAND Ttttea r it:►r, ARCIL—At last the Commis sioners have come to something like a determination to erect a Gaand Monument to commemorate our victories by land and sea. The spot selected is at the bottom of St. James's-street, where the Court-yard now stands. The arch is to be of the most magnificent proportions, and the model to be taken from that of Constantine. To make way for this arch, all that pile of ruins and re maining buildings, tbrining that hart of the Palace, are to be removed, and a spacious drive for tarrioges sub stituted. Arrangements are forming to fill up the Canal itt the Park, and a road will in made to the Parliament Houses, &c. in a direct line from the Arch. Before the , :st of Febrt.arr, all the range of offices, in cluding the Loyal Library at the S. W. end of the Palace-court will be polled down, to make way for the niw edifice tor the Commander in Chief. The grand front of.the Doric Order to be ercetcd in. the Green Park. •By th Mary, Ritchie, of Liverpool arrived at Cork, from Bombay, advises have been received of a date six days later than the official intelligence from that place. The prompt and decisive measures, adopted at the sug gestion of Mr. Elphinstone, had completely tranquißs:d the western coast of India. On the 1I th of June, when the Mary sailed, it does not appear that the insurrection on the eastern-coast was known at Bom bay. WELLINGTON MOM .
