The arrangements for the Funeral of the late Duke
of KENT are determined upon. They are to be as

were sent off on Tuesday, by Messrs. BAILEY and
SANDERS, who are to conduct the Funeral, under the
direction of the Loan Citasizzacoix, on their way
to Sidmonth. The hearse to convey the body left'
town this day, and is to travel night and day. The
whole' are so arranged as to reach Sidmouth nest
Saturday. On Sunday the remains of the late Duke
are to lay in private state. On Monday morning they
will leave Sidmouth in the following order :--The
body of his Royal Highness having. been embalmed,
the first mourning coach mil contain the urn, &c. as
usual on such occasions, followed by the hearse con-
taining the Royal remains, and surrottnded by a mi-
litary escort, after which will follow two mourning
coaches containing the Attendants of his late Royal
Highness, and the late Royal Duke's own carriage
will close the precession. They will reach Wind.or
on the following Saturday, when the funeral is to
take place. As it is contrary to the Royal dignity
and etiquette that the Royal corpse should be depo-

that on each night's stoppage of the cavalcade, the
Royal remains shall be removed, for the night, to
the Church nearest to the town or village at which
it may rest.

the Castle at Windsor, one of them being constantly

of whom will be in continued attendance on the body
till the funeral.

ANECDOTE OF THE ACCESSION OF MS PRESENT
MAJESTY—This ceremony, in Carlton Palace, was
not at all so solemn as our cotemporaries affect to
make it. Lord SIDMOUTN, by constraint of duty,
amongst others, summoned the Duke of Sussex, as
a Member of the Privy Council. But his Royal
Highness, instead of being shewn into the aparn eat
where the Princes-were assembled, was packed into
the same room with the common herd of Courtiers,
and stood alone, and unnoticed, at one of the win.
dows, by himself, while the Declaration of Fealty
was agreed to. When this was done, the folding-
doors of the presence chamber were thrown oxen,
and exhibited his MAJESTY on the throne, ar d the
Prinies, with the Archbishop of CANTERBURY and
Lord ELDON, at the Council table. After the oaths
had been administered to the Princes severally, and
they went to. kiss hands, the reception of the Duke of
was marked with the most ex-
pressive lbooykths.e KING'
