IiER LAIR MAJESTY. [Frump Morrutv's Flampihire Telegraph"] Friday morning the royal standard on board the Commander-in-Chief's and at the Ob servatory of the Dock-yard, Portsmouth, which on account of the demise or the Queen had been flying half-mast high eight dirt, were struck, and the en. signs, jacks, and pendants on board all the ships were restored to the usual elevation at the mast. head. It will he seen by the following letter, re ceived from an officer at Harwich, that the Glurgoto, with the escorting 'quadrat', were ready to sail on Thursday evening- for Cuxhaven. There were very few houses in these towns of which the of cupaiita dill not matilleg some token of regret at her alajes- I's 'heath. ladeed, the circumstances of her Ma jesty.' case —so so gly marked in their character, and so deeply affixtitig in their nature—and th en her detnar, so uulooked for, must, on the slightest ruflecttost, produce feelings of awe and sympathy. %When we recollect that the august deceased was the daughter of one hero, and the sister of another—. the mother of a Princess, who (while spared) formed the delight, the pride, and the hope of the British iiation—that she was the marked object of our late venerable Monarch's tender sympathy and affec tionate solicitude ; and the illustrious consort, for six-and-twenty years, of u Sovereign who ratik• first among the Kings of Euruoe, it would betoken a de ficiency of good feeling nut to regard the event with m ournful iiiteocat and regret. Deeply impressive, also, us such a visitation would have been at any period, the point of time at which it has occurred adds greatly to Its soleino interest ; and i ncreases that serious feeling, which is usually produc,d on the thinking mend by the unexpected (bath of any object that has won Its esteem or engsged its atten tion. The gorgeous ceremonies, the chivalrous fes tivities, and the high carousals of a coronation, but of yesterday, stall warmed the imagination of, the public; the sounds of national rejoicing were itill . v , bralitig in our ear ; and our Monarch, •surrouuded by "every circutustauce of pump," Was on, the seas, pursuing his way to receive the s lr e ctinnate gratulation' of our sister country, and to %PAW'S the' hplenclid testimonials of her loyalty and patriotism;—at this precise moment of elation and triumph, the Angel of Death lays his cu!d hand on the Queen, and hurries to the grave the skah of his victims from the Royal Family of FAsgland, in the space of little more than three Amt. years! Softly; en occetvence of such strange sod rectilitir &alums is full of moral' teaching ! Bit the event ipeak's as loudly to individual a. to pu bl ic f ee ling ; aami the vicissitudes of her late Ma jesty's life. out less than the circumstances attend ing her death, 's bring borne to metes bosoms" au atfeeting lesson of the delusive nature of juvenile h 0 pe; . ,,,0 the instability of human felicity. The fulleeijoiciathe kites alluded to : " HARWICNI F AUGUST 15. fur 'sevens 'tett Oho, when bring, was deuied a solitary yacht to con. Pay her from Calais to the dorninions of her hos. /sand.

" WEDNESGAY, AUGUST 16: 44 Our streets now form a most feelitig and Gyms. pathisi lig sight ; numbers are hourly arriving from • all parts of &viand, the streets are almost imps*. sable, every face is.dressed in mourning, and all is melancholy and madams. The bcdy left town yes. Imlay morning, stopped st Rumford last night, and is expected to arrive here about eight this even. Mg. The following is the rider of sailing oat of Harwich harbour, as related by Capt. DoeLa : The Glasgow drawing too much water to approach the harbour; the Pioneer is to haul to as close to the shore as may be con sidered safe, the body to be pot on board by a bout sent round for the occasion, mintite gain to helired by all the ships, and the garrison at Lan guard Fort, until the squadron shall be three miles from the shore : Pioneer, Lieut. Oldrey, Corn. Wander, with the body on board, leading, the Royal standard half-mast high, with a guard of honour on hoard if royal marines, from Portsmouth ; Wye, Capt. Fisher; Taos, Capt. K. White ; Gannet, Capt. Style; Rosario, Capt. Marryat ; Brisk, Cspt. Stewart. " Wednesday Evening, Seven o'Clock. rr Ever Majesty's corpse is close at hand, the shops have been shut up to-day, and the church bell has tolled. It is calculated that 30,030 per sons are assembled here, and that half a million have escorted her body from Chelmsford, and the progress from London. " Tlinrsday Morning. " The report of the remains of her late Majesty's approach last evening was erroneous, the procession got no further than Colchester, where it remained during the night. " Thursday, Noon. " The corpse of the Queen of Englund is em barked on board the Pioneer. Lord and Lady Hood, Lady A. Hamilton, Dr. Luishington, Mr. Wilde, Mr. Austin, &c. accompanied it mi board. The day is suited to the occasion—lowering and hazy. The procession travelled at the rate of about three miles an hour. The ships proceeded out of the harbour as before described ; Captain Askew e of the royal mariiies, commands the guard of hov nour. The sight was irpprentvely 'interesting. A line breeze from the weal gave tl►a squadron an opportunity to proceed out in very regular order; Captain Doyle, the senior officer, accompanied the body. Thus has the remains of her Majesty left Englaud for Cuxhaven, to be carried to the dons'. nions of her noble family—to return to that shore, which, since she first left, ' few have been her days of happiness'." The Hyperion frigate, Captain LILLICRA P. is ordered to proceed from Sheerness to Plymouth, to embark General Lord CHARLES SOMERSET, who is on his return to the government of the Cape of 4 Good Hope.
