the melancholy tidings of the demise of the late
beloved Duchess of York.

Mr. Mash, of the Lord Chamberlain's Office,
left town yesterday, about two o'clock, for Oat-
lands, to make arrangements for the Funeral of
her late Royal Highness.
Messrs. Bayley and Sanders are appointed the
Royal Undertakers to conduct the Funeral.—
Yesterday Mr. Bayley, and Mr. Chittendon, his
Assistant, left town for Oatlands, to give direc-
tions respecting the approaching Funeral.
It is understood the Funeral will be as private
as possible. Et was not finally determined last
night whether it was to be at Windsor or Wey-
bridge. At the latter place, it is said, her late
Royal Highness had a vault built about 20 years
since, under her own immediate direction and
superintendance.
' The ceremony, it is said, will take place on
Monday next, previous to which the body will
lie in state, in the mansion at Oatlands, for one,
or perhaps two days ; but the admissions to the
mournful spectacle will be very limited.

mise of the Duchess of York.

The house in IVhite Lion-street, Seven Dials,
which caused so much alarm a short time ago by
giving way, has been surveyed, and also the

were found in so dangerous a state,.that they are
immediately to be taken down. It seems that
they were built early in the reign of WILLIAM
