Preparations are making for the Funeral of hot- Ma.
jesty, but it is now said that no time is yet fixed for the
interment. Probably that mournfid ceremony will take
place the latter end of next week; but no order, either
with respect to the ceremonial or the period, has yet
been issued.

Mr Mash, of thh Lord' Chamberlain's Office, and
Mr. Bunting, one of the Royal Undertakers. arrived
Kew Palace on Friday evening, to make the necessary
arrangements.
It would be difficult, perhaps, •to pronounce a more
comprehensive eulogium upon die character of`our lute
Qocen, than is contained in the following extract front
au address of congratulation to her Majesty, drawn up
by. the late Bishop of Llandaff, after the King's recovery
in the year 1789: Ills testi►nc ny, at least will not be
suspected of adulation, for his political prejudices led
him rather to calumniate than applaud her conduct at
that period:—

" Sensible of the influence of royal example, we have
always thought that your Nlajesty was entitled to the
thanks of the kingdom for the proofs you have uniformly
given, during a long residence amongst us, of the
cerity of your piety, (Ole awiableuess and purity of your
?manners, as a Queen, as a and as a Mother. But,
if your Majesty could hsve claimed our regard on no
other account, the tenderness and concern you have
shown for a beloved Monarch, during his lute unhappy
situation, would have secured to you the grateful at-
tachment of a loyal people."
ANECDOTE OP HER M iresvv.—On one occasion a
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 Queea direct—
ed the strictest inquiries to be made -haw the character
of the applicant ; and the result proving satisfactory,
her Majesty took the whole of the children from the
mother, and sent them to school, Some time after,
learning that the widow had again 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 eircumstmees.
" NEW, FRIDAY Nreserr.—The Prince Regent re-
mained to dinner,lest nigh, with his illustrious sisters!,
at Cambridge House. The Princesses continue to be
exceedingly affected by the death, of their beloved
parent, and his Royal Highness delayed his departure
till after.midnight.
" This day their Royal' Highnesses have confined
themselves closely to their apartments, and have only
received the Duchessof York, and the Dowager Countess
of Cardigan. Her Royal Highness, the Duchess, _
came from Oatlands in a curricle and pair, which she
drove herself.
"To night betweenelix and seven o'clock, the Prince
Regent again visited the Princesses, and had not left at -
eight.
" Sir F Millman and General Taylor still remain
attendance on their Royal Highnesses..
" It is said the Prince of Hesse Ilmnbourg will be
present at the funeral of her Nlaiesty."
The inquiries continued on Friday very numerous at
Carlton House, the Queens Palace, York House, Glou-
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 expected."
The following is a translation of the inscription which •
is to be placed on her Majesty's coffin :
