The great number of.persons that have expressed.
their. intention of attending' at the Funeral of Lord
NELSON, has rendered the accommodation at St.
Paul's, though Upon a' larger scale -than ever yet Was
known, too inadequate to contain them.; a very. large
addition- is nOW making-, and the ,exertion of the
workmen'exCeed any thing of the kind ever known;
the whole is in an astonishing state of forwardness,
and the imMenSe number -of:seats; none of which are
open.to the Mlle, except those in 'the West Gal-
lery, await the'aprOpriation'of the Secretary of State;

. On Tuesday; when -'searth was made" in' the
Herald's College -into the -Records of. Sir PHILIP
SlDX,EN'spublic Funeral; for precedents to ornament
the open hearse or car that is to convey Lord NEL-
sofi's Body; and other purposes, it- was discovered
that the LORD MAYOR' of London; uponthat.occa-
sion, went last :in the -procession, on account, it is
supposed, that he is considered the 'Officer whom the
KING.IOOkS to for proper regulations to 'be -adopted;
when he commands -any public 'ceremony to take
place in the City, and, by his being last in the pro-
cession, 'he' was 'supposed to be seeing that every
thing, was properly regulated. Lord HAW-KESBORY
sent to the LORD MAYOR upon the present occasion,
.:informing him of His4Majesty's commands. In con-
sequence ofthe discovery of the precedent, we un-
derstand the LORD MAYOR'S situation in the proces-
sion is again unsettled., . .
The open hearse, or, car, on which the remains of
Lord.NELsoN, is conveyed by water and' land, is to
be extremely. elegant.. It, is to resemble the Vii.story
as much as possible. .The'Wetd
,Ifielary -is to be ion
the stern' Trafalgar on the sides; and Nile in the
front of tlJe:canopy... The coffin is to 'appear as if
upon deck, with his Lordship's -coronet and cnshiotf
upon it... .Four Lieutenants belonging to the Vif/ory
are to sit at the sides of the coffin, as.. mburners.
Yesterday. the machine, .or
.-moying scaffold, for
cleansing the dust from the-upper parts of St. Paul's,
was covered with black baize, Whichhas been placed
tinder thedome for the purpose of letting down-the
'corpse of Lord NELSON. The Dean and Chapter,
it is said, are:.very averse to this auk Ward Machine
remaining, but the-InspeEtor of the Works, it is
st.aed, insists that it shall-remain. . Some suppose
that the question -will be referredto the Archbishop
of CANTEItiIURY., the Bishop of LONDON, and the
LORD MAYOR for the tithe being, who are the Trus-
tees for the. Cathedral:--The College of Heralds are
with the. Dean and Chapter.'
