HER L:ITE

Preparations ari. making for the Funeral of her Ma-
jesty, but it is now said that no time is yet
interment. Probably that mournful ceremony will ta;;e
place the latter end of next week ; lint no order, either
with respect to the ceremonial or the period, has yet
been issued.

Mr Mash, of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, and
Mr. Binning, one of the Royal Undertakers, arrived at •
Kew Palace on Friday evening, to make the necessary
arrangements.

It —would b& difficult, perhaps, to pronounce a more
comprehensive etiliqzium upon the character of our late
Queen, than is contained in the following extract from
an address of congratulation to her Nlajnay, drawn up
by the late Bishop of I.hoidafr, after the King's recovery
in the year 1789. His testinkny, at least will not be
suspected of adulation, for his political prjoclices lea
him rather to calumniate than applaud her conduct at
that period :

" tiensible of the influence of royal example, we have
alwayethought that your Nlajesty was entitled to the
thanks of the kingdom for the proofs you have unithrmly
given, during a long residence amongst us, of the sin.
eerily of your piety, ofthe amiableness and !wily 91. your
manners, as a (jams, as a rf';fi,„ and as a Mother. But,
if your Majesty could have claimed our regard on no
other account, the tenderness and concern you have
shown for a beloved Monarch, during his late unhappy
situation, would have secured to you the grateful at-
tachment of a loyal people."
ANECDOTE or RED MAJESTY.—On one occasion 9,
female presented a petition to the Queen ; she was a
stranger. The memorial stated she was the widow of
an officer, left with twelve children. The Queen direct-
ed the strictest inquiries to be made into the character
atilt! applicant ; end the result proving satisilictory,
her Majesty took the whole of the children from the
mother, and sent them to school. Some time after,
learning that the widow had aeuin become a wife, her
Majesty sent back all the children. It is necessary to
add, this object of Royal bounty had married a person
in opulent eireumst trees.
" Kew, lint oty NTOUT.The Prince Regent re-
mained to dinner, last night,. with his illustrious sisters,
at 'Cambridge House. The Princesses continue to be

came from Outlands ,in a curriele and pair, which she
drove heenelf.

"To night between six and seven o'clock,•the Prince.

eight.
Sir F. Millman and General Taylor still remain in,
attendance on their Royal Highnesses.
It is said the Prince of Hesse Hombourg will be.
present at the funeral of her Majesty."
The inquiries continued on Friday very numerous at
Carlti •: House, the Quee,i's Palace, 1 ork House, G10u...
cester House, and Cambridge House, Kew Green. The •
answers for all the branches of the Royal Family were,,
" They were ass well as could be espeeted."
