MAJESTY,.

Government have given notice, that tomorrow all
the Public Offices will be shut. The Stock Exchange
will also be shut on the melancholy 'occasion.
We mentioned on Saturday, that all the shops in

town and country were expected to be closed on the
day of her MAJEsres funeral: in unison with this
sentiment, the following placard was this morning
posted at the Mansion House, and in various parts
of the Metropolis, viz.

" ATKINS, LORD MAYOR.

" Mauston HOUSE, Nominee O.
" The Lou Movie informs his fellow-citizens that the re-
habs of her late Majesty, Quo* Cmaazozza, are to, be inter-
red so Wednesday. The Lou blaroa, therefore, suggests the
propriety of elpedlyieg to them, as a mark of respect, affection,
tad attendee to the sagest Hawn of Banuswics, by abstaining
front ail nob beams as can be dispensed with, on the day of
lossrosest. (»ined) " Famous Honaz."

Since the issuing Of the Ceremonial, some of the
Gentlemen of the Chapel Royil, St. James's Palace,
have been commanded to attend at the funeral of her
We IlLtiam, at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, to
the funeral service and the funeral Anthem,
vrith the Gentlemen of the Windsor choir. Those
Eided to attend are the Sub-Dean, Messrs.
HEWILS, W 111.30, VAUGHAN, KNYVITT, W.
, J. Sete, Butte, and six of the young
feu under the direction of Mr. Mmes.
Every possible exertion has been made to secure
punctuality and- -regularity in the movements of the
Royal solemn funeral procession ; and that every
thing may be arranged to the greatest nicety, espe-
cially from Frogmore to St. George's Chapel, Wind-
sor, the ground from one place to the other has been
measured, and proves to' be 1,600 yards, and it is
calculated that the procession will be 35 minutes prf -
ceeding from Frogrnore to St. George's Chapel.

The LORD CRAMSEALAIN'S Office was yes:erday,
during the whole of the day, in the greatest state of
bustle, all ranks and degrees applying to Mr. Mersa
for instructions and advice as to their places in the
Mournful Royal procession.
Soon-after seven o'clock in the evening, the State
or outside coffin arrived at Kew Palace, in a hearse
and four black horses, followed by two mourning
coaches, in which were Mr. BANTINO and his assis-

,tants, who removed the State coffin from the hearse
to the great dining-hall, •and placed it in the recess
prepared for the Royal remains lying in state this
day. Mr. MAW, of the Lord chamberlain's office,

was in attendance to direct the proceedings ; and the
corpse of her late MAJCSTY in the leaden coffin was
then removed !born the Royal Chamber down stairs,
and placed in the state coffin under the superinten-
dence °file same Gentleman. The coffin is of the
best Honduras mahogany. Its length is six feet two
end the widest part is two feet four inches.
lite whole is coveted with the best silk Genoa velvet.

The sides, suds, head and feet, are of proportionate
sites, in pond; ornamented with gilt nails, with
one urge row all round, forming a border, and the
panels forined by two rows of small nails on each
side the head and the feet. The angle of each corner
has plates, on which are handsomely engraved the
Qbeen of England's crown, and two branches of
palm, and the letters Q. C. the initials for QUEEN
CHARLOTTE.

The inscription on the plate has already been given;
the engraving of it is very finely executed; it embraces
nearly all the characters of writing, nearly all the
lines are different specimens of the art. The furniture
or handles are handsomely set within, on a pannel
frame, the centres of which are richly embossed.—
The outside scrolls are very rich, and highly bur-
nished. The whole is gilt, and of the very ben
materials, and executed by the best Artists and
Manufacturers.

Yesterday morning the late QutEN's set of black
horses were removed frm the King's-mews, Charing-
cross, to be in readiness for the funeral.
The Life Guards and others of the Military left
London on their way to Windsor, to be in readiness
for the funeral of the late Query.

The PRINCE Rtoatir sends to the funeral five car-
riages, with six horses in each ; the Duke of YORK,
three; the Duke of Sussex, two; the PRINCFSSES,
one each ; Prince LEOPOLD, one, with six beautiful
greys.

The death of her Majesty the Quzel, has been re-
ceived throughout the Kingdom with that decorous
and dignified feeling which becomes the English na-
tion. The press, with a very few exceptions, is una-
famous in rendering justice to her MAJESTY'S domes-
tic virtues—the greatest and the best even for a QUEEN.

“ PLYMOUTH DOCK NOVEMBER es.

-!,g. Ever since the receipt of intelligence of her late
fdiaiarry's demise, the three towns have worn all
that solemn and sombre appearance which is due to
the mlancholy occasion.e The Royal Standard floats
half-Mast high on board the Flag-ship, in the Cita-1
del, on Mount Wise' and the Dock-fird,Tower. The
ensigns and pendants of the' shipping are also dis-
played in a similar Manner : the several Churches and
Chapels are arrayed in-sable, amusements of every
description have ceased, and will continue in this
'state till after the funeral."
