The Late Premier.

The spot selected in Westminster Abbey as the
last resting-place of the late Premier is in the North
transept, where lie buried Castlereagh, Wilberforce,
the Cannings, Chares James Fox, the Earl of Chat-
ham and his brilliant son, and a host of worthies
whose names have adorned this country's history.
The grave is close to the hideous monument of Lord
Chatham at the great north door, entering from St.
Margaret's-churchyard, and on one side of the
grave lies the body of Fox, and on the other those
of the two William Pitts.

Yesterday, the Rev. Lord John Thynne, the sub-
dean, and the Rev. Canon Nepean, were engaged
during nine hours in arranging for the ceremony of
Friday. A place has been assigned for the members
of both Houses of Parliament, for whom it will be
exclusively kept, and not even friends of members
will be admitted. There will be tickets of admittance
for official representatives and for less privileged per-
sons, but the number of these will be strictly limited,
and the applications for them have been overwhelm-
ingly large already, even in the short notice which
has been given of the funeral taking place at the
Abbey. The mayors of large towns have telegraphed
to know whether their corporations can be represented
at the funeral, and the answer returned is that all who
come in their carriages can, on giving previous
notice, fall into the procession, which will be mar-
shalled in Piccadilly at 11 o'clock on Friday morn-
ing to move at noon. The city authorities will be
represented, as will be many of the large towns.
Arrangements have been made for the represen-
tation of her Majesty, the Duke of Cambridge, the
Ministers of State, and certain noblemen and gen-
tlemen to follow from Cambridge-house with the
relatives of the deceased lord, and the following is
a list of those so invited :

Her Majesty, represented by Viscount Bury, his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Earl Rus-
sell, the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, Sir George Grey, Earl de Grey and Ripon,
the Duke of Somerset, the Lord Chancellor, Earl
Granville, the Duke of Argyll, the Earl of Claren-
don, Lord Stanley of Alderley, Sir Charles Wood,
the Right Hon. Edward Cardwell; the Right Hon-
T. Milner Gibson, Earl Cowper, Lord Westbury,
the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, Lord Sydney, the Right Hon. the Speaker,
the Rev. Henry Sulivan (the nephew of the deceased
lord), the Hon. William Cowper, M.P., Lord Ash-
ley, the Hon. Evelyn Ashley, the Hon. Lionel Ash-
ley, the Hon. Cecil Ashley, the Right Hon. Law-
rence Sulivan, Lord Sudeley, Sir George Bowles,
Admiral Sir William Bowles, Sir George Shee, Lord
Jocelyn, Hon. Frederick Jocelyn, Hon. Henri

Brand, M.P., Mr. Charles Barrington, Mr. Hippis-
ley, Mr. Lawrence Hippisley, Mr. William Hippis"
ley, and the Rev. A. G. Baker.

Prussian Despatch to the Free Town of

Frankfort.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)

FRANKFORT, 0.M., Oct. 25.
The following is the text of the note addressed 131
Count Bismarck to the Prussian Envoy in the fre°
town of Frankfort : •

BERLIN, Oct. 6.
Your official reports have afforded a clear insight
into the discussion of the German Diets held in
Frankfort on the Ist inst.
We up to the last moment entertained hopes that
the Senate, conscious of its engagements towards
the two great German allied powers, and remera:
bering the remonstrances made on previous and
similar occasions by Austria and Prussia, would
prevent the meeting of those delegates. We regret '
that we have been disappointed, and that we ar°
again convinced that the Senate is willing for Frank"
fort to become the source of all senseless schemes'
We can no longer tolerate such indulgence to revo-
lutionary tenderness. We cannot permit that the
seat of the Federal Diet should be made the
principal scene of efforts for underminial
the authority of the two first German Powers, alit* I,
that from that town should issue publications Or;
passing all others in coarsensss. The history °'
this meeting of German delegates proves that the
more enlightened portion of the population has
sympathy for such attacks. But the indulgeac°
shown _by the Senate of Frankfort is none the less
deserving of blame. We agree with the Austria:
Government that the recurrence of such a publl
scandal, even in the form of a discussion leading to
no result, cannot be permitted. The Austrian re
presentative in Frankfort has also been instructed
-
t)
to address remonstrances to the Senate to the safla—,
effect. I request you to act in common with t'oof •
Austrian envoy, and not to allow the chief mayor
er
Frankfort to enterthin any doubt that in this matte
we are acting in perfect unison with the Austri''rD
Government. I hope that the Senate of Franki°o
will not act in such a manner as to compel the t'to
German Great Powers to intervene, in order co
prevent the further consequences of an indulglo
which has already been carried too far. I aut"rtbe
you to communicate the present despatch ° or
chief Mayor of Frankfort, and to leave him a e°
if desired.
