five o'clock on Sunday morning, and was got off
again last night's tide, and brought to this place with
considerable damage.
SWANSEA, NOVEMBEB so.

The ship Sarah, OAKS, from Quebec to London,
has been driven up this Channel, and is in so leaky
a state that it will be necessary to discharge the
cargo, previously to proceeding on her voyage to
London.

The erection of the Breakwater at Plymouth has
proceeded rapidly during the late summer; and the
western end is frequently seen above the tide.
The statement that the Is*antra. and AtexAm-
DER, forming one branch of the Arctic Expedition,
had succeeded in determining that there was no
Northern communication between what is called
Baffiti's Bay and the Pacific Ocean. is now contradic-
ted. The Officers of the two ships say that they have
very little doubt ofa passage, and that they certainly
would have discovered it through one of the deep
Sounds on the western side of Baffin's Bay, if the
season had not been so far advanced, and the great
deal of time they lost by going up the Greenland side.
It is now known precisely where to look for the pas-
sage, and all are sanguine of finding it next year.
The French 'Journals record, that between the 16th
and 24th ult. six packets arrived at Calais from Dover
with 74 passengers, and that sixteen packets quitted
Calais with 225 passengers; also ninety one trans-
ports, having on board 112 Officers, 2,334 soldiers,
191 women, 297 children, 1,916 horses, artillery,
and baggage.

HER LATE MAJES l'Y.

This being the day appointed for the interment of
the mortal remains of her late Most Excellent MA-
Jitsrv, in the Royal Vault at Windsor, the persons
who formed the procession on the solemn occasion,
assembled at Kew, at eight o'clock in the morning.
The procession began to move at ten o'clock, and
proceeded to Frogmore in the route and order already
stated in this Paper.
We yesterday stated that the remains of the late
Queen CHARLOTTE were removed from her chamber
down stairs into the grand dining-room on the ground
floor, and placed in the state coffin, which arrived at
Kew Palace between seven and eight o'clock in the
evening, from the Manufactory of FRANCE and
BANTING, in London. The arrangements were so
judiciously made, that the screwing down 01 the
state coffin only occupied about two minutes. Prepa-
rations were then commenced for the lying in state,
which occupied several hours.
The dining-hall and anti or coffee-mom had been
previously hung with black cloth, or, more properly,
literally covered; the sides, ceiling, and floors, and
the canopy and the sides, if we may be allowed such
an expression upon such a solemn occasion, elegantly
festooned. Behind, or at the head of the coffin was
affixed to the black cloth attached to the room, a silk
hatchment, with the late Quegs's Royal Arms. An
elegant new pall was placed over the coffin, except a
small portion of the foot, which remained uncovered
for the public view. On each side of the coffin were
placed four silk escutcheons, with the Royal Arms
-on them. Near the head of the coffin, on the top,
was placed a crown, on a cushion. The coffin was
inclosed within a large square space, for the Royal
attendants to be stationed, and not to be interrupted
by the public, who were to be admitted. On each
side of the coffin were three round pillars, covered
with black, of the height of the coffin, when ou the
tinsels. In each of these were placed remarkably
large wax candles, in proportioned sized candlesticks.
Round the sides of the room were forty-four wax
candles, in white branches. The anti or corce-room
was fitted up in a similat manner.

The carriage entrance to the Palace was new gra-
velled, and for a considerable distance round the
outside of the gates were enclosed with posts and
ropes, and a narrow path, separated by lar
means, for the departure of the company. .The foot-
man and others of the livery servants of the late
QUVFN, appeared in mourning yesterday morning.
Abouf nine o'clock a guard of honour, the whole
in white gaiters, marched to the Palace, the Officers
with crape scarfs, sashes,. and. crape round the hats
and ca, s. The top of the colours were covered with
crape, and the drums muffled with black cloth, ex-
cept those on attual duty. Their arms were piled in
the lawn in the fi-c:n: of the Palace, the colours low-
ered. TowNsEND and Sayeas, the Buw-street Offi-
cers, and NKr:, the Constable, with a party of the
yatrole, were in attendance to keep orders, &c.
• Mr. MA sir, of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, upon
'whom the laborious task: of arranging and directing
in every department this national state ceremonial
and processiou has devolved, was in attendance, at
an early hour, in the Palace, to direct the opening of
the rooms for the reception of those who were fa-
voured with tickers to see the Royal remains lying in
state, and which were arranged most judiciously,
'and with the greatest order and regularity, so that
not the least impediment occurred, but every thing
passed off' with the most perfect decorum and awful-
silence during the whole of the day. The company
began to arrive abotit ten o'clock, in different de-
scriptions of carriages, from London and various
parts of the country, as well as perambulators. As
they at rived attire temporary enclosure, they shewed
their tickets to the Bow-street Officers and Consta•
tiles, and passed on to the Palace-yard, where there
were a number of men distributed in different parts
of the yard, in large black cloaks, black cloth caps,
and black staffs, eight feet high. The tickets were
shewn to some Gentlemen of the Lord Chamber-
lain's Office.

On the outside of the Palace door were six Mar-
shalmen, in their full uniform, with black silk scarfs
'and sashes, crape sword-knots, and crape round the
right arm, also with black silk flat-bands. At the
entrance to the Palace were Mr. GARDENER and Mr.
SnYMOUR, the Grooms of the Great Chamber, in
black silk scarfs and hat-bands, to receive the tickets.
The company thin passed through a short passage to
the hall where the remains of her MAJESTY were
lying in State, where the wax-candles above described
were lighted, which, in addition to the well-directed
and stat:onaty situations of the Royal attendants,
gave the whole the most imposing, awfully grand,
and majestic appearance possible to be conceived.
The Dowager Countess of 11m/court?, one of the
Ladies of the Bedchamber to the late geck.N, ap-
peared as chief mourner, in which she was relieved
by the Countess of kotizsrsa, another of the Ladies
of the late QUEEN'S Bedchamber—they were assisted
by Going and VINCENT, Lsqrs. Gentlemen
Ushers to the late QUEEN—also by two Maids of
Honour and two Bedchamber Women. The Ladies
wore black crape veils, and the Gentlemen were in
full Court dresses.

A party of the King's Body Guaids, consisting of
an Exon, a Yeoman Usher, and ten Yeomen of the
Guard, attended upon tho occasion, who had .their.

stately uniforms of black,
velvet caps, and their batc
