Immediately after the deputation had withdrawn,
the worthy Alderman, accompanies:l by hiison, the
Rev. J. P. Wood, left Brunswick for Hanover. It
is their intention to proceed to England by the routs
of Holland and France.
It was in contemplation, by the inliildtants of Brims.
wick, that these addresses should be presented by a far
mote numerous deputation, and hi a style of much
ureater itrignitieence. lint, from the decided part taken
by rite Court, prudence was opposed to this iodination,

The opinion of the I3runswickers, and indeed the • .-
opinion of the inhabitants of every part of Germany, is
exactly iti uni6Oil with the popular feeling its England. •
Thy say, that the reception given to the remaiiis of
Q•leCil Caroline is a national disgrace; years will not
wipe away the Mill. They lament exceedingly that
their young prince has not assumed the reins of govero-
went : it would not then, exclaim they, base been so.
It is saal, that it was not the intention of Government
to order die hells to toll, liOr the places of public amuse-
intuit to Ise closed. Popular indsg,nation was, however,
so InUaly and so strongly expressed, that if ortkrs to the
contrary were contemplated, they were not enforced.—
Fite people, with an almost unanimous v,iice, declared
that they would burst open the doors of the churches,
and, at wnatever peril, toll the bells; and an elderly
gentleman, a merchant of considerable opulence in this
town, conceiving that money would be an essential in
etlecting, the public wishes, instantly put down the stint
of too dollars. " I knew," said he, " the illustrious
deceased in her infancy, and I have since venerated her
sorrows ; and nothing that I can do shall be wanting to
give her remains a due reception in her native town."
Oa Saturday au incident of rather a ludicrous nature -
occurred in the iintusdiate ticinity 01 Brunswick. Two
gentlemen (it is rennoured Englishmen attached to the
Court) appeared in public in coloured clothes. The po-
pulace conceiving this to be a premeditated insult to the
memory of the late Queen, surmunded them, anal
with-
out the least ceremony, upset them in the mud; they
then eery cooly told them that they now were its half-
mournit.g, and were requested to go home and put on
black. It is added, that this oleibo4l of col;,: dying had
the desired and that mean Vlll6llOl 11.11'e since
always appeared iti immunise.
It is said that the youtix Princes of Brunswick, who
ate now proseettang their 'intik& in Switzerland, were
exceedingly anxious to anent the funeral obsequies of
their royal aunt, but that their earnest application fur
permission stet with a decided tivaitive.
'l'he royal vault is not yea closed. The coffin, con-
taining the rentrains of her lase Majesty, continues tin
the bier ; nor as-ill it be deposited in a niche until some
other member of the family closes their earthly career.
It apps ifs to he the custom for the 1.14 rit-ce:peal to oc-

removed to make room for those ist his ric.ai •isLer. The
flowers hare been received fr•lti the coffin, but retinue
scattered around the bier and a wreath, suspended by
a white riband, is hung over its head.

land by different routes. o:de's are zia en for horses fOr
