leading features of the design as it as present stands, but
the detail, have not yet been thistly settled, nod it is pro-
bable that they may undergo considerable alterations and
itnprlvetctuts. As already Matta, the procession will be
formed when the body arrives at A,isley.lioute, and for this
purpose the proximity of the park w4l be turned to account,
that the marshalling may be stfuted in due order aml with-
oat any confusion.
ST. PAUL'S.

Within the Cathedral fur theitst few days W. Cubitt
and Co., of Gray's tan lane, the contractors for the Board
of Works, have bees carry.tig out the most intensive pre-
parations for the funeral. hind down the nave
from the grain western cutr.ince has been kept entirely
clear for the pagans of the ctief,.99, but, on either side of
this, immense platforms of Tillftl watt stretch away to the
sides of th, sacred edifice, and over the entrance and at
the ends of thu transept, wineries are in.course of con-
struction, which will hold a prodigious number of spec-
tators. „tens of black cloth will be required to cover
the amount of woodwork, which has been run up with
a degree of strength and despatch very creditable
to the contractors. Upwards of 300 hands are em-

played day and sight in carrying out the annarmenta,
which pewit^ to be of the must complete and satisfactory
deacriptson. Beneath the lofty dome a space oval iu
form ►ts been reserved for the sous' duties of the in-
terment, and it is intend( d that the et,tho should be lower"!
down it.to the vault benisth by inacbinery, just ea at
Nelson's tui.eral.

Last *riming the fleet general ezperimeat was made in St.
Paul's, before Lord ;John Manners and a party of official
genturnen ef the Board of Woods and Work, of the effect
of the gas arrangements within the edifice. The gas is
thrown downward from near the roof throughout the en-
tire length of the cathedral, springing in one continuous
chain from the cornices on both sides of the centre aisle,
around the basement of the whispering gallery and along
the choir. The appearance is that of • beautifid beading,
giving that dim religious light to the nave and aisles so
aprropriate to the cathedral and the solemnity of a grand
funeral. The experiments were under the direction of Mr.
UoWing, of Messrs. W. Cubitt.a establishment.
It is satisfactory to Lauer that the execution of the ar-
rangements coast end with this important event have been
entrustel to two such long, stablished sod eminent firms as I
th',e of Ranting, in St. Jaines'a.street, and of l)owbi,.gin
and Holland, in Mount street. The former hate bad the
management of state funerals entrusted to them for an
immemorial period, sod they had, therefore, nearly
a prescript:re right to furnish forth the processioa and pre-
pare the cathedral. The latter were the Duke's uphol-
sterer's, and have properly had the lying in state placed in
their hands to conduct.
