THE LATE PREMIER•

The interior of the Abbey is now in the hands of
a host of workmen, who by working day and night
have made great progress in the alterations neces-
sary for the mournful ceremony of to-morrow.
Poet's Corner and the whole of the south transept
have been boarded over for the peers and members
of the House of Commons, and the statuary has been
encased in timber to preserve it from accident. The
door of the "Corner" will, according to the present
arrangements, be altogether closed, and the noble-
men and gentlemen who are to occupy this place will
have to pass through the Abbey, some from the
south door, and some—those only who have received
invitations—from the Jerusalem Chamber staircase.
It was yesterday announced that his Royal High-
ness the Prince of Wales and suite will attend the
funeral. His Royal Highness will not follow from
Cambridge-house, but will attend at the Abbey,
where he will be received by the Very Rev. the Dean
of Westminster and conducted to the Royal stall.
As has been before stated in The Sun, the funeral
procession will start from Cambridge-house pre-
cisely at noon, and will arrive at the Abbey in time
for the service to commence punctually at 1 o'clock.
The route will be taken through Piccadilly to St.
James's-street, down Pall-mall and Parliament-
street. The corporation and other bodies will head

Abbey these deputations will be escorted into the
Sacrarium, and the body and the mourners will enter

the Abbey by the great west door, and will pass
down the nave, the body being deposited in front of
the Sacrarium. The pall-bearers will be ten Cabinet
Ministers—viz., the Lord Chancellor, Earl Russell,

the Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, the Chan-

hour by persons, apparently of the highest respecta-
bility, anxious to obtain tickets. These formed into
a long line, and ,each .waited his or her turn to apply,
and the tickets were not by any means given indis-
criminately. The whole number for disposal were
very quickly out of hand, even with these restrictions.

deared himself to his countrymen by those qualities
of heart and mind which constitute a brave and loyal
man, a firm and stedfast friend, a true and staunch
hearted patriot. That a copy of this resolution
under the corporate common seal of the borough
and the band of the Mayor be forwarded to Lady
Palmerston with a respectful expression of sympathy
with her in her heavy bereavement."
The Mayor moved the resolution, and Councillor
Price (a Conservative) seconded it. The Mayor
announced his intention of requesting the inhabitants
to close their places of business from 12 to 2 o'clock
on Friday next, during which time the funeral will
take place.

EDINBURGH.
At the meeting of the Town-Council, held on
Tuesday, the Lord Provost made reference to the
death of Lord Palmerston. He said—Since we last
met in this chamber it has pleased Providence to
permit the hand of death to close the earthly career
of one whose long life has been devoted to the ser-
vice of his country, whose great abilities and untiring
energies of mind and body have been since youth
employed in the councils of the nation, and who,
for many years called upon to guide the helm of a
mighty empire, has piloted it safely and honourably
through calm and through storm, well worthy of
the great trust committed to him, and well able to
give an account of the responsible stewardship
which death has at last compelled ilim to resign.
WheS the melancholy news reached us that Lord
Palmerston was no more, I am sure it was nowhere
more keenly felt than in Edinburgh that Britain
had lost one of its chief supporters (hear, hear),
that he had gone who, of all our great men, was
so eminently able to retain the confidence of men
and parties of much diversity of political opinion,
and by a temper of remarkable forbearance, by a
loftiness and generosity of sentiment, as well as by
his shrewd and able judgment, to preserve that co-
hesion among factions which has gained for himself
an undying reputation, and has been a bulwark of
strength around the nation. We have, indeed, cause
to mourn his loss in common with the whole country
on public grounds, but in Edinburgh we have addi-
tional reason to lament his death, for we were justly
proud of the share we had in the education of one
destined for a life of such distinction and public
usefulness, We were glad, on a late occasion, to
welcome him back to scenes which he assured me
recalled some of the happiest associations of his
youth, and to enrol him as one of our citizens—
(applause)—one whose rare but truly merited lot it
has been to receive in life that deepened and wide-
spread respect which will live in the hearts of mul-
titudes and in the pages of history long after the
tears of his friends and relatives have mingled with
the earth of his honoured tomb. I now beg to
move : " That the Corporation record in its minutes
an expression of its sense of the great loss sustained
by the country in the death of Lord Palmerston,
and its sincere sympathy with her ladyship in the
severe trial with which she has been visited."

Bailie CASSELS seconded the motion, which was
unanimously carried ; and the Lord Provost was
appointed as a deputation to represent the city in
attending the funeral of the deceased statesman.
