The vault is now open, and naturally attracts great

attention. The machinery by which the coffin is to be
lowered to the vault, is, ye believe, completed, as well
as that by which it is to be lifted from the funeral-car to
a small hearse at the door of the Cathedral. When
placed on this, it will be propelled along the nave until
it rests over the vault, into which, at the proper moment,
both coffin and hearse will be lowered together. Messrs.
Cubitt have also receixed directions for the construction
of machinery to place the coffin on the car, before start-
ing from the Horse Guards, so that the interposition of
human hands may be seeded as little as possible, or not
at all. For this purpose, also, a tent will be erected in
St. James's-park, under which it will rest until it re-
ceives the coffin, and takes its place in the procession.
The height of the car is 30 feet, by 10 feet in width, and
51 feet long. It runs on six wheels. It is now com-
pleted, and, on Friday last, loaded with immense blocks
of granite ; it made an experimental trip along the route,
which was perfectl/successful. Several partial experi-
ments have been tried with the lighting of the Cathedral;
but, we believe, one will be made this evening on a
grand scale, by which some idea will be attained of the
effect to be produced.
The Lord Mayor has issued an address to his fellow-
citizens, desiring that, on the day of the funeral, all busi-
ness, but such as is absolutely indispensable, may be
suspended.
Temple-bar is to be hung with black, and prepara-
tions are now being wade for that purpose. No person
will,be allowed to pass along the road-way of Fleet-
street and Ludgate-hill after nine o'clock ; and barri-
cades will be erected along the sides to confine the cir-
culation to the footpaths. 'This part of the route will
also be kept 'by 1,00) of the household troops. The
railing in front of St. Paul's, has been pulled down, and
a wider space will thus be aforded for the reception of
thelfuneral cortege.
It is understood thit the whole of the troops which
are to be present at the funeral, will have arrived in
London by this evening. One soldier from each regi-
ment will be placed in the Cathedral.

THE LYlnt IN STATE OF THE LATE
HOSPI
DUKE
TAL-{THIS pA Y.) OF WELLINGTON AT CHELSEA

This morning, despite of the rain which fell in heavy
showers, ant of the timidity which might naturally
have been expected to arise from the fatal accidents of
Saturday, t numerous crowd was assembled at the en-
trance to tle Hall, waiting for admission. Happily, to-
day we ha"e not to recount any such events as those
which tool place on Saturday. The police authorities
have now he whole management in their own hands,
and, as is always the case under such circumstances,
the public have nothing to fear. Under the present ar-
rangemett, there are two routes of access to the hall ;
one by tie Queen's-road from the east, and another down
the averue which leads from the King's-road to the cen-
tre entrance to the Hospital on the north. On each side
of these routes barriers have been erected at the distance
of 20 yards from each other ; space capable of contain-
ing aoout 100 people, but. into which only 50 at a time
are tdmitted.

As the barriers in front empty into the Hospital, they
are filled by those behind, and so on through the entire
route. A clear space is kept immediately in front of the
eitrance, and a detachment from the Avenue and one
f•om the Queen's Road are admitted alternately. In-
dead of 150 men, which the department which had
assumed the management of the arrangements considered
would be sufficient for the service on Saturday, there is
at present at least a force of 900 men on the ground.
Each barrier is manned by half-a-dozen policemen, who
have easy access into the middle of the small crowd
which is under their control at any moment, so that none
of those disgraceful scenes which took place on Saturday
can be expected to recur. The utmost order and regu-
larity prevail ; and we make no doubt that any person
placing himself at the outside of the crowd at the east
end of Queen's-road, would find himself in about half-
an-hour
