the onside o•dlici, in Mr. Fit k MCP:S shop, a gre
co. course of people were aorAaed at the eatr,,,
in Pall-Mall, as well as in St. James's-square. T

FAA tics was under the necessity of sending to Bo
street. Mr. Rotten in, the siting Nlagistrate, d
re led the whole of the Officers and twenty of I.

The temporary strußure which had been ereff
between the House of Lords and Westminsi
Abbey, preparatory to the funeral processi •
of the late Duke of Gcoueesran, not bet
entirely taken away on Saturday last, when
WAS determined to remove the remains of H
Royal Highness to Windsor, many were•
opinion, that the workmen would be ag'
ordered to proceed with it, and that so much w
left standing in expedlation of that event.
however, appears to be a very erroneous conclus
as part of the work was allowed to remain. me•
for the purpose of measuring it, and calculating
expence, in doing which, the measurer were,
twelve o'clock yesterday, busily employed. Si"
also thought it a very extraordinary circumstrt
that His MAJESTY should give so many contrary
dors with respea to the place of interment ; but
can assure our readers, that His MAJESTY never?
pressed more than one wish on the subjca, and th
Was, that the inclination of his Royal Brother, wh
eve: it was, should be circumstantially comp"
with. The difference, therefore, in the orders
sued, originated entirely in the anxiety on the P•
of His Royal Highness the present Duke, to 0
conformity with the wishes or his deceased Arai STOW
lamented Father ; and these were rendered difEc:
to ascertain, by the distance of time when his
was mad:, combined with the declarations upon
subjr& which he had since made, in the course
familiar conversation with his Royal relatives al
friends.
So late as seven o'clock on Sunday night. se
ders had been received at Windsor respeiffing d
burial of His Royal Highness.
• Last night, at ten o'clock, the Dake of Gs.°
CR6l'llll'6 outside coffin was taken to Glouree
House, and the other two put into it. An iminef
crowd assembled about the house.
