exception that sach a numb,:r of distieguished charac-
ters cannot attend it as if it had been what. is called a
public funeral of the Queen of England.; for in that
case her remains would have lain iu state in the painted
chamber. Ths hearse will be drawn by eight of her
late Majesty's black horses, and driven by her state
coachman. This being the funeral of a Queen, no
mourning coaches arc to follow, nor any but Royal
carriages, including the King's, the late Queen's, and
the Prince Regent's, drawn by black horses; none of
the Royal Family will attend till the procession arrives
at Frogmore. The Queen's carriages are to be filled
by Messrs. Beekendurff and other attendants of the late
Queen. Numerous detachments from the Life Guards,
the Royal Horse Guards, with their bands, are to form
part of the procession. It is expected that a party of
the Lancers will lead the processit,e, which will pro-
ceed at a very slow walking pace, till they arrive at
Frogmore, whence the road and streets leading to St.
George's Chapel will be lined with the Foot-guards,
under arms, every sixth man holding a lighted flam-
beau. The procession will be formed at Frogmore, as
it is to enter St. George's Chapel, with the exception
of those who will juin it at Wiudsor Castle. The
Prince Regent will enter us chief mourner, upon which
occasion his Royal Highness is to be supported by two
Dukes, and to have four Marquisses to hold up his
train. The hearse is to be guarded by the King's body
guard, forty of the Yeomen of the Guard, who arc to
,appear in mourning of bl4cL vlothp.,troe exactly the
same es their scarlet unit:nen, with the same embroi-
dered arms and ornaments. They are to carry their
arms in a reversed posiion. The Queen's crown is to
be carried on a cushion covered with black. Her late
Majesty's pall is to be held by six Dukes. The Prince
Regent is to sit at the head of the coffin, the Chamber-
lain at the feet. The Marquisses to hold up the Re.'
gent's train, and the Royal attendants will stand dur-
ing the last awful ceremony.
The staircase of Kew Palace has ben additionally se-
cured by extra supporters placed under it, to guard
against the possibility of an accident in the removal of
the Royal remains down stairs, from the additional
weight of the coffins and the ntimber of men who arc
necessarily employed upon such ocv,isiuns. The Royal
carriages which are to go in the .procession from Kew,
are commandee to be there at I quarter bane nine
o'clock on WedneSday mot-clink to prevent aneecon.
fusion arising. The procession is to Italt for about ah
hour at Longford, and the time of arrival 'at St.
George's Chapt4 is nut to exceed et quarter peitt eight
o'clock. Kew Church, Richmond 'Clmrch, andWiretsor
Church, have all been hung with 'black by' the Itoyal'l
undertakers, I ler late Majesty being considered a Pit-''
rishioner at all those peristes. Preparations are making
