TRIBUTIC OT ILESTSCT TO TOL MAJESTY, As soon as the minutes of the • Mr, The Loan MAYOR stated, that day, sent to him, he bad .. day, but from some circumstances Is had been induced to fix the *sight probably be too late for erisition had in view. I. `"!site requisition was new read, e d erildre Aldertuan Weernsrate rose.—lt was scarce!! bids he entered upon with most sincere regret. In ,44ted he Mould feel regret in alluding to the death of any Member of the Royal Family, but more particu larly...4;lot of the Queen Consort of these realms. Rut, after the situation in which her late Majesty had been Oared —after the part which the Corporation of Lon dean had Wren in vindication of her honour—it would' be inipmseale to he silent on the present melancholy occasion, or to let it pals without offering some token of respect for her Majesty's memory. However feeble sand inelhcient the attempt which he was about to make it would not discourage him, because he feh•satislied Slat his feelings on the occation were outrun by those of the tout, and that those feelings would afford an excuse for his deficiencies. The worthy Altlertn:in n proceeded in a very touching manner, and to an Cktent which our limit% will not permit us to follow to pint out those amiable traits ofcharac ter by which her Majesty had gained their respect, and those melancholy sufferings and persecutions by which she had excited Heir sympathy; and in conclusion observed that it was without doubt, that the cruelty of the treatment received by her Majesty, was a main tune of her dis solution: and it would have been less unkind if, in stead of the daggers of the mind with which they daily pierced her Majesty, they had used a dagger of steel years ago: for in that case she would have been Vared the misery to which they had since made her life a prey. Their malice at last took effect upon her Majesty's frame. Iler mighty heart burst ; her spirit led, leaviug a load of misery behind. It was, how ever, some consolation to reflect that the Royal sufferer mould he no longer the victim of persecution. It was not, of course, in the power of the Court to give ; 1 retribution for her wrongs, but what Was in their we , f a : t t lr e • e o ste ng e l m et a to nd do v . ene T ra h t e i y on ou ii g i h w t h t i o ci t i e h A e i r fy st t a j o e t s l t o y e r " s held. It was with this view he should submit his resolution. The Worthy Alderman then read the reso lution (for which see advertisement.) The motion was seconded by Mr: F trim., who in a short and neat speech, which our limits will not allow Its to insert, dwelt forcibly upon the many amiable qnalitles of her Majesty, and the violence and rancour of her persrcutots. The motion was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. F.leace then said, that having carried the first resolution, it was impossible they could suffer her Ma jesty's body to pass through the city without testi fling their most dutiful regard. He could not think the tiov• Fitment would so precipitate the funeral, or turn it aside from the city so as to prevent the Cor poration of London from doing honour to her Majesty's remains. He hoped they would allow the funeral to pees through the city; hut cells if that should not be the ease, yet still he thought his resolution, if carried,' would mark the feeling of the Corporation. He then *sieved the second resolution (for which see advertise •ment as before.) After a few words from Mr. Deputy PAYNTRR and Mr. Jeer, the resolution was put aid carried unani monsly. r it was then put and carried unanimously, th it the Sheriffs do forthwith wait on Lord Liverpool, in order to know the briar at Which the Corporation should at tend at Temple-bar. After which, it was referred to the Committee which had been appointed to attend her Majesty to St. Paul's on the 29th of November last, to make arrangement's for carrying the other resolu , done into effect. Council sleet broke Tke _ up. .. The Sheriffs, immediately after the Court was over, proceeded. with the Remenilarancer, to the office of the Secretary of State, wirete they bad an interview with My. flobhonse. Sheriff WAITUMA it; as the High Sheriff, stated that they attended in conformity with the reeolutions of the Court of Common.. Council, held that day, and ex pressed the a n xiety with which the citizens and public in general expected to have an opportunity of paying their best respects to the Royal remains, and the dig appointment which would be occasioned if they should be sent slay other road than through the city. btr. Manaus& said, it was usual to convey the corpse of any of the Royal Family under a military escort, which could not pass through tho zisr without first communicating with the Lord bltyor. Sheriff Warrustax said, certainly a communication should by made to the Lord Mayor, if it were peen.' part Cm a military escort to attend the corpse : and ssat coineassieation might easily be made. dr. ,liosnocas then said. he would represent what bad been stated to Lord Liverpool, and that en early enures should be given to the communication. The Sheriffs then rimmed. leaving the Ream. tannest to wait for the answer. A little Were 4 (ticks& tie Selkwior answer was iiii treed :-- " Whitsitall.l3tbAg.

Even her greatest eeemy must admit this, and no man who bad bad the fe licity of witnessing her kind, her generous, her affable conduct to all who came under her notice since she came to reside among them, could withhold the tri bute of his admiration. lie then took a review of the life of her late Majesty, and spoke of her magnanimous conduct on various trying occasions, with a degree of warmth and feeling that called forth lepeated cheers from his auditory. lie declared lie should feel far more pleasure in having it to say, that be had been the friend of the Queen in the time of her adversity, than if the King were to confer upon him the highest gift that it was in the power of Majesty to bestow.—(clear, hear.) — it was the duty of the inhabitants of this hamlet towel such a atonement to the memory of her Majeldy ad would convey to posterity the high opinion they enter tained of her exalted virtues. Their successors would, he was sure, view it with pride and satisfaction, and would say exultingly to the gazing passengers—" My Father,"—or, "31y lirandfather," was one of those who contributed to the erection of this monument.— illear, hear.)—After some further observations, the worthy Gentleman proposed the following Resolutions, which were carried unanimously:—" That this Meet ing deeply sympathise in the general feeling. of regret for the loss of our initeh illustrious and much-injured Queen.—That a subscription be immediately entered into for the purpose of erecting some lasting testimonial of the respect and a ff ection of the people mfor her Mo. • sty.—That the inhabitants of this hamlet end thel f l neighbouring parishes he respectfully requested to c 0.,: operate in the undertaking; and—That a Comniittest be appointed to carry into effect the foregoing Reso lutions." A liberal subscription was immediately entered into. REMONSTRA NCRS OF HER ESTY'S SA ECUTORS LAST NIGH/. : --sm.- - The grounds on which the Executors of her Ma• jesty's Will have resisted the precipitate removal of the body of their Royal naihtsess are—l. " that that short interval since her death was not sufficient for completing those solemn arrangements ilia belong o right to a royal funeral, and that the rapid pare at which it is proposed to travel is unusual, unnecessary, And therefore an unjustifiable indecorum ; and se condly, that no time has ► e'n allowed to communicate with the Hanoverian authorities on the subject of the proper means of conveying the holy from Stark to Brunswick, a distance of nearly 120 miles of sandy and almost impassable road ; so that it is not impos sible that the journey tray be delayed several days for want of horses or other facilities. Urged by those powerful reasons, Dr. LestuNc.rox and Mr. WILDE yesterday afternoon sent a written remonstrance to Lord Livaaroot., requiring a further delay, and stating distinctly the grounds of their reyue•t, To this letter Lord LIVERPOOL. it is understood, sent a long and somewhat indistinct answer; the purport of which was, that he saw no sufficient cause for fur ther delay, and th.tt the request could not be granted without public imcourcnience : at the same time be, observes, that the procession might be longer than two days on its journey to Harwich but with this pe. remptory proviso—that the embarkation mutt tot t e, place on Thursday. Irby 61 embarkation musttake 'Aare ass Tbellal4 . awl what the public inconvenience is that would.* produced by delay, we have no occasion to specify. The motives for the haste are more indecorous titbit even its effects upon the ceremonies; and so impressed were Dr. Lushington and Mr. Wilde, with the impro• priety of the precipitation, that at a late boar last night,it is stated, they forwarded a second letter to Lord Liverpool, in which they are understood to have stated, that, deprived as they are of the means of con ducting her Majesty's funeral in a way becoming bet exalted rank, and consisting with their own sense of duty. they refuse to act ; that if the body is removed on Tuesday morning, it is the sole set and deed of the Government, which they, the executors, have no power to prevent ; and that it will be dose contrary to their willies and against their consent. What the result of the woad letter was, we have not learned, but up to a very late late hoar last night no answer was re turned. At eight o'clock last Night a numerous and most respectable meeting of the Committee, that bad for merly coadacted the procession of the Qom to St. Peal's, was edevened at the Preemasun'a levees. der the pirpoes of adopting the most espedient and tape• ditious mesas of attending the Royal remains some part of the way to the gra. e of i:s assesters.

By order of die Committee, Freemasonh"favern, Aug. 13. (Signed) T. BESPON, Hon. Sec. The Committee at Freemasons' favern have re ceived assurances from the undermentioned Gentlemen, of their intention to attend the funeral procession of her late Majesty, this morning, on horseback or in carriages, viz. :—Sir O.

At rather a late hour yesterday evening, the follow notice was placarded in the city : Toone, Mayor. Mansion-House, Ante. 13, 1”.1. The Lord Mayor informs his fellow-citizens, that the removal of the remains of her late Majesty, Queen Caro-, line, will take place on to-morrow, Tuesday, t h e 14th instant. The Lord Mayor, therefore requests, as a mark of af fection and respect for her memory, the propriety of staining from all business which can be aroided.on By order of the Lord Mayor.

A recommendation of a similar kind from the totn• ' Woe at the Freemasoua"favern was afterwards ad• l eased to the inliabitauts of Westminster. ■IIMH WATS* AT WVDOM-IRIDGR TO-lORROW.

M. llotn•ithstanding the d radial state of the weather, the roads to Ilammersmith were seen covered with groups of people, proceeding, in mournful silence, as clay-light broke, and rendered them risible to the eye. The melancholy dejection which marked the demeanour of all, was deepened in its effect by the lowering aspect of the heavens, and the torrents of rain which coati- need to pour, without intermission, during the whole of the morning.
