FUNERAL OF THE LATE LADY

FLORA HASTINGS.

The remlins of this much-lamented lady were removed
at an early hour this morning from Buckingham Palace on
board of the Royal William steam-ship, lying at the St.
Katharine Docks, for the purpose of being conveyed to the
last resting-place of her Ladyship's maternal ancestors in
Scotland.

The Post says that the following particulars connected
with the death and funeral of this lamented lady are
authentic. The steam-vessel which conveys the remains is
expected to arrive at Leith on Friday. On the following
day (Saturday) the body will be conveyed in privacy from
Edinburgh to Loudoun Castle, a distance of sixty miles.
On Sunday it will lay in state at the Castle ; and tho in-
terment will take place on Monday. A confidential officer
of the Duchess of Kent's household, by the command of her
Royal Highness, will attend the body from the moment of its
departure from Buckingham Palace to that of its being depo-
posited in the tomb. The funeral on Monday will be at-
tended by the numerous friends, tenants, and retainers of
the families of Hastings and Loudoun in Ayrshire. The
world already know that the Marquis of Hastings and the
whole of his Noble Family are impressed with the deepest
sense of gratitude to her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Kent for the unremitted and affectionate attention she
has paid to their feelings through the whole progress of
this agonizing occurrence. It gives us unfeigned satis-
faction to add that from the period at which the death of
Lady Flora was distinctly foreseen, her Majesty has en-
deavoured, and endeavoured with suecess, to excite a
similar feeling in their minds, by evincing the utmost
anxiety that all possible attention should be paid by every
inmate of the Palace to the bereaved and afflicted family,
and that their wishes in every particular should be com-
plied with.
