THE QUEEA'S FUNERAL.

The following is the Court Circular :
" Yesterday morsiing Messrs. FRANCE sod
RANTING'S •ssistants commenced hanging the lar4e
dining parlour, Of hull, in Kew Palace, with black,
in which the remains of her late MAJESTY is to lie
in state, and erecting a grand canopy in the re-
cess we diturribeil yesterday, under which the
coffin is to b placed, for the purpose of ly;11;
in state, but which is to be extremely limited,
by tickets, and they are only to extend to those
of the Royal Households, and that is only to
be allowed the slay previous to the funeral of I)"
late MAJESTY, which is expected to take place oil
Tuesday or NVeduesilay, provided every thing or
such an extensive nature for so solemn owl 1.!,•,,„,t
irs, occasion can be completed ; and it i. expectiA
every thing will be in readiness. All the State
sersance and grandeur will lie used on the solemn
occasion, under the circumstances that midi a
number of distinguished characters 1:3I1110t attend it
as if it had been fully a public funeral of the Que,„
of ENGLAND ; in that case her ri mains would fwve
laid in state in the Pninted Cliafillp-r in the park,.
ment House. The hearse is to be drawn lir eight
of her MAJESTY'S black horses, and driven by her
state coachinsti.

" This being the funeral of a Qui:EN no mnurii.
ing coaches are to follow, but they are all to lie
Royal carriages, including the R. G's, the late
QUEEN'S, sod the PRINCE REGENT'S, drawn by
black horses, but none of the Royal Family are to
be in them till they arrive at Frogniose. The
QUEEN'S carriages are to be filled by Mrs.rot-
ENDORFF and tither otteleilants of the late QuxEN.
" Several detachments front the Life Gouda
nod the Royal Hor,e Guards, with their numerous
bands of trumpets, kettle-drums, side-druno, fifes,
&c. are to form part of the' procession. It I. ex.
peered a party of the Lancers will lead the pm.
reS•1011. It is to proceed at a very slow pace till
they arrive at Frogmnie, flow which place the road
and streets lending to Sr. George's Chai.el will lie
lined with the Foot Guard., under arms, every sixth
man holdin a lighted.fisinbeau.
" The procession will be formed at Frogmore as
it is to enter St. George's Chapel, with the excels-
tion of those in Windsor Castle. The PAWL Its.
GENT will enter as chief-muursier, upon which ut.%.
vision 114 Royal Highness is to havelour Marquises
to hold up his train.
The hearse is to be g,torded by the I{rwo's
hotly guard (forty of theyeonten of the guard), who,
upon ibis novel and liirlui.cltely occasion are to
appear in mourning or black cloth, made exactly
tiller the rittern of -their scarlet uniform, with si-
milar embroidered arms and ornaments. They tare
to carry their antllN in a 0 versed position.

" The QtJEEN's Crown is to be carried mi li
Cll4lllOll Covered with black. Her Idle MAJESTY'.
pall is to he held by six Duke.. The PRINCE
REGENT is to sit at the heat' of the coffin, the
Clinmberlsin at the feet. The Nlircpiises who hold
up the REOENT's train, and the 11.13.1 attebilmits,
will stand during the last awful ceremony to the re-
mains of the beloved QUEEN."

As a proof of the uncommon fortitude of the
Royal Sufferer. we need only mrittitni what has
been related by the PIIINCE REGENT. In eon-
vrif.dtioli with a Gentleman. his Royal Highnesi
said. During the whole period of her NIAJESTY'tI
indisnwition, site never suffered a murmur to escape
her."

It hits been stated in some of the Papers, that
the Royal Drawing Rooms are for the future
to be held by the Duchess of YORK. We have
AUTHORITY to assure the Public, not only that no
such arrangement has been formed, but that the
subject has not vet, even in the slightest degree.
tome tinder consideration.
THE KING'S JEWELS.—The supposition that his
ItIAJEsTY has concealed those valuables arose f
the recollection of a similar circuntstairce. Pre-
viously to his MAJESTY'S lamented iudisposition, a
gold ewer and basin, enriched with gems mid ex-
quisite workmanship, were missing. The KING
was greatly disconcerted, and suspected them to have
been stolen by a favourite domestic. Many mouths
afterwards these precious articles were discovered.
concealed behind a quantity of books in the KING's
own study. His MAJESTY had totally forgotten
(as lie said himself to the QUEEN) hiving placed
them there.
