We do not find that the remains of the Marquis
pf Londonderry were removed from North Cray oh
Sunday night to his late reaidence in St. James's-
'Square, as stated yesterday, preparatory to their
interment this morning in Westminster Abbey.
Droops of people were assembled in front of the
house last night, expecting their arrival, but it had
not taken place at a late hour. Although all idea
of • public funeral has been very properly dis-
claimed, under the melancholy circumstances of
the case, it will be very far from being a pri-
vate one. All the Ministers in town are ex•
pected to attend. The Lord Chancellor yesterday
gave notice that he would not sit in Court until
eleven o'clock this morning. All the Foreign
Ministers are invited. The Danish Ambassador
arrived in town yesterday from Ramsgate in the
Royal Soetreiga steam-boat for this purpose. His
Excellency had only reached that place on Sun-
day, when lie found a summons requesting his at.
tendance. All the clerks in tl►e Foreign Office,
over which his Lordship presided, will pay this
last sad mark of respect to his memory. The
preparations in Westminster Abbey were corn- '
pleted last night. They consist of a platform
raised above the pavement by the joists on which it
rests. It ►s about eighteen yards in length and teu
wide, and fills up the space between the monu-
ments of Lord Chatham and the Earl of Mansfield
on the one side, at►d those of the Dukes of New-
castle and Sir Peter Warren on the other. These
every one acquainted with the interior of the Abbey
know, are ranged on each side of the avenue lead-
ing from the north door. It is in the centre, and
immediately opposite the corner of the monument
to the memory of Sir Peter Warren, that his Lord-
ship's last resting place has beer► prepared. His
coffin will lie on the right of Mr. Pitt, and close to
it. The grave is about seven feet deep, and is
bricked round.

Every precaution will be taken to guard against
the inconvenient pressure of the crowd, both with-
out and within the Abbey. The platform which
we have described at the no►th door, is enclosed by
a strong rail, which embraces • space sufficiently
ample to accommodate all who take a part in the
ceremonial. Admission can only be obtained by
tickets, which are not to be purchased.
The following will be the form of procession ;
Attendants oa horseback, with scarves and hatbands.

The Pall-bearers in two Carriage', drawn by Six Horses
eaeh. These are to consist, if possible, of eight Cabinet
Ministers.
A rich Plume of Feathers, borne by a man on horseback,
attended b supporters.

mast on horseback, with proper attendants.

ing Coaches, each drawn by Six Horses, and fruit Twenty
to Thirty of hi■ most intimate Friends.
The principal Domestics of the deceased in Mourning

To be followed by the canines of the nobility
and gentry, of which a great number are expected
to attend.

The Foreign Ministers and others desirous or
being present at the ceremony in the Abbey, will
assemble at ]u early hour in the Jerusalem Chamber.

The procession, it is expected, will move precisely
at nine o'clock.

IN OPEN COURT.—A BED OF ROSES.
Mr. HART applied to his Lordship to heir
motion on to-morrow.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" 1 have no disincli-
nation to hear it or any other motion, hut my nsiod
has been so harassed for the last ten months, that
1 am afraid I would be doing injustice instead
of justice to the suitors of the Court if I trete to
hear motions now, my mind sot being prepared for
it. My predecessors never sat so long, in the long
intention, as I have done, therefore I will not hear
motions without the bankrupt petitions are gone
through at an early hour to-morrow, for utter that
day I will not sit until the seal before next Term.
Besides, I have a great regard for the Bar ; 1 recol.
lect when I was there myself I did not like to be

mission of bankruptcy in this vase ender the late
Act of Pailiainent, which allowed bankrupts to
apply by petition to the Greet Seal to supersede
commissions against them, their estates having
paid 40s. in the pound. The bankrupt's estate ni
this case had paid debts in full to the amount of
719.0001., and there were only two outstauding
debts to the assiossot of 14,0001., that soul was in
the hoods of the aseignees of the bankrupt, and was
only prevented front being paid ou account that the
two creditors who it was due in, could nut be found.
His Learned Friend, Mr. Shadwrll, appeared for
the assigaiew and cousented to the prayer of the
petition.
Mr. SHADWELL said he was instructed to con-
sent to the superseding of the commission, at the
same time that it was to be understood that any
sales that had taken place under the commission
were not to be disturbed. He was instructed by
the essigness to say in the most public manner, that
the conduct of Mr. Boyde had been moat meri-
torious, as it was by his industry and perseverance
that the estate had not only paid the enormous de-
mand monist it in full, but there was a surplus of
rioo.octol.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" It is with pleasure
I grunt the prayer of the petition. This is setrein

Mr. HEALD—" All I can say is, that I have not
