COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL, GuiumaLt.

Yesterday a Court Was held under she direction
4f the Lord Moyor—Aldermet, Woitliman and
Venable, present—to consider of the best means of
'testifying the respect entertained by the Corpo.of
for the virtues of the late Queen, and their regret
at her decease.
the Loan MAYOR arrived at twelve o'clock—
the caar•hinzio. footmen, and household all in deep
mourning. His Lordship took the Chair at a
iquarter past twelve o'clock. (The sword was borne
o a black scabbard.) Having directed the requi-
sition for calling. the meeting to be read. he said
that notices had been 'prepared for convening it on
Tuesday (this day), but circumstances which bad
uninspired elsewhere had induced him to alter the
'line, as be judged it better to issue a hasty sum-
intros, than to stiffer the Common Council to be
,defeated in the object of the requisition.
The requisition was signed by 28 Members.
Mr. Sheriff WAITHMAS said, that he should feel
it to be difficult, under any circumstances, to re-
commend to them the performance of that which .

_ ijesty. But her life MUM so fruitful
of events—the number of persecutions, with the cir-
„coinstances belonging to them, was so great and
extensive, that he could toot venture to take up so
'much of their time as would he wanted to parti-
cularize them. He could not help recurring, in
the first place, to the pleasing, flattering prospects
which awaited her on her first arrival in Lonrho,.
The Corporation went up with Addresses of Con-
"gratulation to George the Third and his Queen,
.111(1 to his present Majeety, then Prince of Wales,
int that which, was deemed so happy and fortunate
-.to event. It was most sfilicting to consider what
had followed. That beautiful and. amiable Prin-
cess little could have excreted the emote-
qitences which flowed from the union. She
was almost instantly separated from her husband,
and secluded from, Cont. Site was subse-
quently denied the society of her daughter, and
became the object of the most cruel persecutions.
On that occasion, as on several which had occurred
since, the Corporation stood forward to express
their regret for her suffering, and their unabated
attnchment to tier. A great domestic affliction
visited her on the death of her beloved daughter,
a death which probably would not have taken place
had that daughter been allowed to receive the atien-
lion and consolation which she might have derived
from the prerehce of her mother. Her Majesty
was obliged to seek an asylum in foreign climes ;•
.but did she there find safety ? No ; she was beset
by spies, and her privacy was molested and watched
by the 'ryes of wretches hired to betray her. After
the death of. her slaughter and the late King,. her
persecutions increased, and attained their highest
pitch of fury. Then it was that she displayed a
presence of mind and a fortitude in sustaining
"calamity, which hail made her the admiration
of the world. She braved the dangers of
the seas. and flung herself for protection into
;the arms of the British people, though she

%vitt be observed that while Lord LIVZSPOOL
loyi ft is pot inteoded that the Royal Corpse should
pats through the City, his Lordship does not drop
hint of the course which he intends it shall take.
The announcement of a military escort would

Imply that it is to go by land. This intimation is
the only reason for presuming that it may not be
intended to send the Royal Corpse down the river, to
which course the situation of Brandenburgh House
on the bank• of the Thames affords every facility.
Presuming, however, that the funeral will move by
lead, two courses present themselves—one by
Knightsbridge, by Hyde Park-conter, up Park-
lane, and across to the City-road ; the other more
circuitous and more distant from the City, by
ittnsingtoo Gravel Pita The latter line, it is
tiepposed, has been adopted. The friends of the
Qv us, we understand, are prepared for either
Agee. They are to rendezvous iu Hyde Park at
itiven o'clock in the morning, in number not less
than 2,000 horsemen ; hatbauds and scarves to
that amount were distributed yesterday. The
Committee sitting at 'the Freemasons' Tavern
yesterday preferred a request to Lord Ltezaroot
that he would be Onsed to allow the Royal Corpse
to be conveyed through the City, but. up to a late
hour last night no answer had been returned. The
answer returned to the application made by the
Sheriffs of London sufficiently expresses the inten-
tions of the Ministers.

At twelve o'clock 013 Sunday the State Room at
IBrandenburgli House was completed for the recep-
tion of the Royal Body. and soon afterwards it was
removed from the room in which it has lain since
the decease, and was placed on the bier or platform
under the canopy. The room has been completely
darkened, the windows having been closed op with

doodles, was sunk by the Turkish batteries. We
believe that war was never so generally desired
throughout Europe as that one should new break
out between Rini. and Turkey. This feeliog it
equivalent to a wish.for the utter demolition of the
Ottoman power in Europe ; for, estimating the mi-
litary force of Russi■ in comparison with that of
Turkey, the superior discipline of the Russian
army,-aud the enthusiasm with which the troops
■re said to be• inspired for the contest, there are
' few who do not anticipate in the event of a war
the complete victory of the Rossises. The Olio-
luau army is said to be rapidly increasing in the
proviuces north of the Danube; but what can the
unwieldy mass of a Turkish rabble, without disci-
pline or military skill, effect aguiust a veteran
army inu►ed to military operations, flushed with
the consciousness of recent achievements, and led

by officers who have been practised in the great
School of European tactics ?
The latest intelligence from-Constantinople is of
the 20th of June. A letter from' flirt city, dated
the 10th, was received yesterday in town. It stated
that a special' embassy, at the head of which was
to be a Russian Prince, woo then expected at
Constantinople. The powers of Baton STROGO.
11011 F are said to have ceased, and his departure for
St. Petersburgh was daily looked for. The later
accounts, however, of the 20th, are silent upon the
former of these points, but it was said that the
Russian Ambassador was at Bujukdere, observed,
and even guarded.

We have received Lisbon Papers to the 28th

the import duties to be paid on woollen cloths, and

this Decree is to revoke a former resolution, by

and to restore them to their previous amount.

[FURTHER PARTICULARS.]

( From the Dublin Patriot.)
Du 131.114, AUM7ST 9.

We shall not now indulge in any elaborate dr.
scription of the agitated slate of the public feeling
during the whole of yesterday, in consequence of
the non-arrival of Monday's mail. We shall mere-
ly observe, that the incertitude in which the cir-
cumstance left the whole Irish community regard-
ing the state of the Queen, toed the petiod of the
arrival of his Majesty, our honoured Sovereign,
among us—whose visit, it was feared, might, in the
event of the Queen's demise, be abandoned alto-
gether, produced a degree of fever in the public
mind, surpassing any thing, we think, in the power
of language to describe.
The mail, however, arrived in town this ot • g
with the gratifying intelligence that .1 the Queen is
better," and that a favourable termination to her
disorder, which had reached its crisis, may now be
hoped. We subjoin the numerous concurrent au-
thorities for this pleasing new. ; and we are rejoiced
to state, that nothing is now likely to occur to in-
terfere with the immediate arrival of the King.
We have now the pleasure of announcing, upon
authority not accessible to most of our contempo-
raries, that at the departure of the mail yesterilly,
from Holyhead, it was known to he the intention
of the Sovereign to sail at eleven o'clock the. fore-
noon fur Dublin, in order that his Majesty should
reach Duuleary harbour to-night, and laud to-
morrow morning. This arrangement was peoposed
with the view of giving a full day to the business
of his Majesty's reception, and in order that the
hour of the procession from Dunleary to Dublin
should be early, and the time, therefore, the more
cotoreuieut to the citizen., and suitable to the
occasion. It is apprehended, however, that from
the present stormy state of the weather, and the
untavourableness of the wind, which now blows
from the west, that the Commanders of the royal
squadron will not venture out of harbour to-day.
But, in any case, we eau confidently announce
that sufficient notice will be given to the public,
regarding the exact lime of his Majesty's arrival.
We linty expect en official notice this evening.
