(THIS EVENING.)

WHITEHALL, DFC. 10, 1849.

The Queen has been pleased to command that the
following directions, given by her late Majesty Queen
Adelaide for her funeral should be made public.
Her Majesty has desired that these directions, which
are worthy of the exalted piety and unfeigned humility
of the late Queen, should be, as far as possible, carried
into effect, and for this purpose has been pleased to
sanction a departure from the ceremonial usually observed
in the funerals of the Kings and Queens of the realm.
(Copy.)
" I die in all humility, knowing well that we are all
alike before the Throne of God, and I request therefore
that my mortal remains be conveyed to the grave with-
out any pomp or state. They are lo be moved to St.
George's Chapel, Windsor, where I request to have as
private and quiet a funeral as possible.
" I particularly desire not to be laid out in state, and
the funeral to take place by daylight, no procession, the
coffin to be carried by sailors to the chapel.
" All those of my friends and relations, to a limited
number, who may wish to attend, may do so. My net-
phew Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, Lords Howe and
Denbigh, the lion. Win. Ashley, Mr. Wood, Sir Andrew
Barnard, and Sir D. Davies, with my dressers, and those
of my ladies who may wish to attend.
" I die in peace, and wish to be carried to the tomb in
peace, and tree from the vanities and the pomp of this
world.

" I request not to be dissected, nor embalmed; and
desire to give as little trouble as possible.

"ADELAIDE R.
