ETV: LATE MAJ.E3TY.

Yesterday notices were issued from the Loin
CHAMBERLAIN'S Office to-all the principal and
minor theatres in and about the metropolis, order-
ing them to be closed from all performances this
evening, this being the day appointed for the re
moval of the remains of the QUEEN. .The solemn
procession will begin to-move this morning at
seven o'clock from Branderburgh llouse,
inersmith. The procession will resemble very
much that of Queen CHARLOTTE from Kew till it
reached within a short distance of Windsor. It
will be preceded 14 the eight marshalmen onhorse-
back, in their full uniform, with black scarves. and
hatbands. The route eastward of the metropolis
was not exactly known, but it is supposed it will
proceed by the environs, through Islington, Scc.
The Corpse will be escorted by a detachment of
the Royal Horse Guards from Hammersmith to
Rumfod, where they will be relieved by a squa-
dron of the 4th Light Dragoons, and proceed
from there to Chelmsford, where the solemn
procession will rest during the night, and the
Corpse be deposited in the church. To-morrow
mornilig early the solenin procession will again
begin to.move on its way to Harwich, escorted
by another squadron of the 4th Light Dragoons,
Who will proceed to Colchester, where they will
be relieved by another escort, who will proceed
with the Royal Corpse to Harwich, where it will
be received with a guard of honour, under whose
Care it will remain till it is embarked-on board
the frigate to convey it to Brunswick.7--(Court

H kMmmutsmlTll, Monday, 4 o'clock, p. m.—
About noon to-day a numerous body of the inha-
bitants of 'Hammersmith met in the vestry-Tobin
of the hamlet : Mr. Gomme (Churchwarden) was
in the chair ; and the meeting (upon the motion
of Meists. Bowling and Sawyer) came to the fol-
lowing resolutions :-
1. " That this meeting deeply sympathizes in the general
feeling of regret for the loss of our most illustrious and much
injured Queen Caroline.
2. "'That a subscription be entered into for the- purpose of
erecting some lasting testimonial of the respect and affection of
the people of Hammersmith for her Majesty ; and that the in-
habitants of the neighbouring parishes be requested to co-operate
in the undertaking."
A Committee was nominated for carrying the
purpose of the• meeting into effect.
THE QUEEN'S COFFIN.—Its rich crimson • covering and
massy gilded ornaments are concealed, except immediately at
the feet, by a pall of black velvet, bordered with white tarcenet.
Near to the head, supported ty a purple cushion, Stands the
crown ; on either side tall massy candlesticks, sustaining tapers
of proportionate bulk,. are ranged in rows ; and, ',beyond all, a
broad achievement, picturing the arms and insigma.of Royalty,
glitters in tincelled mimicry of splendour.,

FURTHER. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN LADY
1100 D AND THE EARI. OF LIVERPOOL.

VISCOUNTESS HOOD TO THE EARL Or IAVERPOOL.

MY Loan—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your
Lordship's letter, and-though certainly not according with my
wishes, yet please. to accept my thanks for the promptness of
your reply. But, my Lord, there is a material part of my let-
ter which you have not answered, (my question)—Why is a
guard of honour appointed to attend her Maje Sty's fimeral ?
I can venture to pronounce, if there are no soldiers, there will
not be any disposition to tumult; therefore, I do most earnestly
pray your Lordship to give up the idea of her Majesty's re-
mains having any other guard than that of the people. They
were to her Majesty, during her life, her roost welcome attend-
ants ; and surely if your Lordship is so tenacious in strictly ad-
hering to her NI ajesty's request in her will, you cannot fail be-
ing equally so in complying with what I am sure would be her
'Majesty's wish, were she living to speak, as it was eve; her
earnest desire to have no soldiers, but to be attended and guard-
ed solely by the hearts of her people. In their IOVe she ever con-
fided ; and surely, my Lord, you will not; at this awful mo—
m.ent of her interment, act so decidedly contrary to her inch-
nation.
• I omitted to mention in my laSt letter to your Lordship, that
the person sent by Government for providing the mourning, for
her Majesty's servants did not arrive at Brandenb\trgh-house
till yesterday noon, consequently neither Lady Ann Hamilton,
myself, nor Lord Hood, and several other Gentlemen, could
think it requisite to be in such haste to order their mourning ;
and until Dr. Lushington and Mr. Wilde arrived at Branden-
burgh-house late yesterday evening, we could not.,form an idea
of the funeral being fixed for.so early a day.
must again repeat,: that on .no occasion whatever has the
Government ever ordered the troops to attend Her Majesty; I
trust, therefore, your Lordship will not think of such a measure
upon this occasion of Her Majesty's funeral ; and I also con-
clude, from your Lordship not replying to that part of my let-
ter respecting her Majesty's removal, at the procession will
be ordered to move in the direct and nearest road, through the
City of London, as 1 am informed that the Lord Mayor and
the Corporation of London intend meeting the funeral proces-
sionUt TemPle-ltar ; and surely your Lordship will not offer
an insult to so ancient and respectable a body, who have ever
shewn their attachment to the Royal Family. I flatter myself
your Lordship will forive my thus troubling you, and impute
it to my zeal and attachment to my much loved and departed
Quehn ; and I beg to subscribe myself
Your Lordship's humble Servant,
JANE HOOD.
