io.•cting of the inhabitants of Chelsea, Knightsbridge,
and their environs. was held at the Flask tea gardens,
Five-fields, Chelsea, on Thursday, to take into consi-
&ration the enormous rates of the Chelsea Water-
works Company, and the best means of obtaining re-
dress for the present grievance, and security against
suture oppression there ; and also for the purpose of
noiting the Committee of Chelsea with that of Knights-
bridge, ihr the furtherance of the objects of the in•
habitants. Sir Henry Wilson was in the chair. !everal
appropriate resolutions were entered into, expressive of
dt:termination to cheek the evil complained of. It
appeared that the rate had been nearly doubled, with-
cot any satisfactory reason being assiened ; and that
all -remonstrances had been tact by threats to cut twfl'
the supply of water—threats which had in several in-
stances been put into execution. .

TIIE LATE QUEEN.-Mr. Mash, of the Lord Chant-
lwriain's office, has made such judicious arrangeineats,
a4l given such explicit directions to the heads anti
others of the different departments of those who are to
form the procession, as described in the ceremonial of
the funeral of her late Majesty, that the greatest
Finetualitv anti regularity will, it is expected, be ob-
servcd. The mournful cavalcade is directed to begin to

thence to Longford, where it will halt to refresh the

valry. •

Some doubts having arisen RS to the right of Her
:ap.,ty to dispose of Bucki lnun-bcracc bt gill, we
hive referred Litely to the Act of Parliament upon the
s.,bject, ( b Geo. 111. c_ 33,) anti find that Buckingham-
-1,-use was originally purchased by the King, out of
1-. is own private purse: that Smnerset-house was set-
t!ed upon er Majesty, in case bhe should survive
the King ; anti that upon her removing from thence,
Buckingham-horse was settl.4l upon her in like manner,
anti was therefore called the Queen's Palace. The
King, fitr his concurrence in this arran4ement, received
qO,OOOl. This it appears that the (Queen's Palace is
still the property the King, anti would only have
become the Q,,een's in the event of his Majesty having
died Wore her. If she had survived the King, it was
provided by the same Aci, that at her death, the Palace
should remain vested in the Trustees for twelve months,
and then revert to the Crown. The hince Regent in
remuving his court to Illue',.ingliam-house, dates so in his
rigia, as representative of tae SJver,i2;u.
