to take his Royal Highness's commands upon
subject of.the Funeral of the QuEEN.

The Dean of WINDliOlt and Sir OVUM NAYLgIi
attended with Mr. Olean at the Lord Chamberlain's
Office yesterday. Carlton House is closely shut up
Nn the present melancholy occasion. The inquiries
condolence of distinguished persons yesterday
vary numerous.

Inquiries of a similar nature were also made after
Duchess of GLoticssren and the Princess AD-
NiIBTA, at the Queen's Palace, and at the Duke of
CAMBRIDGE'S house, on Kew Green, where their
I-Eghnesses removed on 'Wednesday night
from Kew Palace. The answers given to the kind
luiQrs were—" Their Royal Highnesses were as
as could be expected."

The Queen's Palace was closed onWednesday and
yesterday by FRANCZ and BANTING, by order of
Colonel STBPIIENSOI4 ; every 'window that had net
shutters was closed with thick canvass.

Last night, about half-past eight o'clock, a hearse

four arrived at Kcw Palace, followed by a
Tmourning coach ar.d four, in which were Mr. 114 N-

the Royal Undertaker, and his Assistants, with

leaden Coffin in which the remains of her MA.
JESTI' arc to be deposited. It is lined with wood;
• inside, consisting of a bed, pillow, sheet, and
linings of plain white satin, with a full fluted
iming all round of the same; the whole solemnly
magnificently fitted up. The most profound
silence prevailed on the occasion.

" In pursuance of the commands of his Royal. Highness the.
Panrcs Runs, acting in the name and en the behalf of his
Mansrr, these are to give public notice, that upon the present
melancholy occasion of the death of her late Mauve's. of
blessed memory, all persons do put themselves into deep

" MOW HOrldia MoLaltstl.Howaaq

Deputy Eatl ManhaL
" N. B. Orders respecting the Mourning foe the Army and
Navy will be unr.ounced in the 0.2-tie of Saturday mt."

While these solemn preparations are going forward
the public feeling exhibits itself in all quarters with
the tnost sincere and becoming respect. The shop-
windows throughout Loudon and Westminster, with
a very few exceptions, are half closed, and the ships
of all nations have their colours only half-mast high ;
and, in many instances, respectful families are already
in mourning.
A soon as tte death of her 3TAJT.srx was known at
the several nut-ports all the vessels hoisted their co-
lours half-mast, and the Royal Flags were only
hoisted half-way up the flag-staff. •At Brighton the
Church bells tolled their mournful peals, and the
Theatre and all the. Libraries were closed,

The determined and rigid perseverance which her
late Mazzsry ever manifested, in excluding from
her public interviews all persons of her own sex,
however high' in rank, or imposing by connexions, if
their private characters were in any degree suspicious,
was a more brilliant jewel inlthe diadem of her moral
fame than any which embellished her temporal
crown ; and whatever effect could have been pro-
duced amongst the inferior ranks, by the greatest ex- i
ample in discountenancing levity and itnmorulity of
conduct in the higher, must have been realiled to'
the fullest possible extent, by the immaculate evi-
dence of her own actions, and her vigilant resolution
to shut out from her presence every individual whose
habits and mannersweTe improper, qr even equivo—
cal: in fact, if ever real honour and glory were.made
to shed the lirstre of their radiance round the throne
of a great nation, that of Cheat Britain was ever en.]
circled by the halo diffused by the mild and benig-
nant virtues of the lamented PersOrage who partici-
pated in it for the unexampled period of more thr.r.
half a century. S'le was ever

assate as the icicle
That's eurcll*l by the frost (rota purest snow,
And imp en Dian 's Temple!

Her mind was as incorruptible as her dignity and
prudence were evident to the most scrutinizing eye;
and her demear.unr, though ever commanding, was
founded on discretion, and, cor.sequently, free from
every shadow of pride or affectation:v This conduct
alone produced, in former years, an uAirersal respect
and attachment from all classes.

We would particularly point out to public atten-
tion an anecdote of the QttEN, which forcibly illus-
trates the lofty ptinciples of moral virtue that always
influenced her conduct with regard to the character
of the Ladies who formed her Court. An application
was made to her MAJESTY to receive a titled female,
whose name was not free from taint. The request
was immediately retlised. " What shall I say to my
friend?" asked the intercessor. " Tell her," replied
the QCEEN, " that you did not dare to ask the!" an
answer worthy of a Roman matron, and conveying.
at the same time, a keen reproof to the Lady who
had dared to make such a solicitation.

'ln addition to the numerous charities to which her
late MAJESTY subscribed, none was more conspi-
cugus (though not generally known) than the Insti.
tution formal at Bailbrook Lodge, contiguous to
Bath. The Qum; was the immediate Patroneis otl
this establishment, and not only contributed very
largely towards its- support, but displayed great
anxiety concerning i:s future welfare. The Inbtitu.
don at Bailbrook House is formed after the German
viiiieitrcs and other Protestant EstablishMents on
Continent. It offers a desirable residence to
Ladies of respectable character, whose birth places
them in the rank of Gentlewomen ; and the plan is
ao arranged as lb suit the circumstances of those
whose income is very moderate ;...itt the sane
time it offers accommodation to othem. who, by

residing in the establishment, contribute largely'
towards its support ; but this circumstance occa-
sions no apparent inequality among the inmates,
for all are, in fact, equally independent of pecuniary
obligation either to the Public, or to each other.--1
The Imlay live together as one family ; but none are
admitted who are averse to a retired life, or who are
unwilling to lend their aid in promoting works of
charity and benevolence. It is principally intended
for the reception of the widows and daughters of
Clergyrne.n. and of Officers in the Army and Navy.
It is entirely under the auspices of Ladies of the
highest rank, and a-fund of several thousands has

been already secured, and placed out at interest. Her
Meanie:, when last at Bath), paid great attention to
the above Institution, minutely inspected every part
ofßailbrook House, and expressed herself very anxi-
ously, that there were not more Establishments for-
med of that kind in England,

Her MAJESTY has made a Will. It appears that she
was not possessed of I:3000 of money at her demise,
and that she possessed no funds: She has bequeathed
her diamonds to be divided equally among the Pat tr-
CPSSES her Daughters, with some distinctions ; and is
said to have given a handsome bequest to Lady
HARCOURT, who has been always admitted to the ho-
nour of her intimate confidence, and smaller legacies
to, others, who have been longest in bee Matarry's
service. All the under servants will have pensions
from the public, according to their ranks, which will
amount to a considerable sum. It appears from the
accounts of the Civil List for the last year, that the
pensions to the servants of Queen Canotiss and the
Princess Dowager of WALES were then 0430, though
few of them 'are now alive.

We are enabled to-day to subjoin a statement of
much importance to the commercial and agricultural
interests of the country, being a Table of the Ave-
rage Prices of English Grain fo: the six weeks im-
mediately preceding the 15th instant, from which it
appears-that Wheat, Rye, Barley, Oats, Beans, Peas,
and Floor, may be imported for Home Consumption
till the 16th of Februery, 1819, when a new average
will be tAken, unless prices, during the next imme-
diate six weeks, shall again tall below the average
impor,t rate, in which case, all, importation from the
ports between the Ey-der and the Bidassoa, will be
forthwith interdicted. The followii.g arc the rates at

We have received Bombay Papers to the ISth of
May, in which we fine!, .a variety of interesting de-
tails respecting the Keel: Maitary Operations
firma.,

h The Fortress of Mandelah, the narrative of the
capture of which have given at length in a pre-
ceding .part of our Paper; was carried by assault, in
:t most gallant style, aftci having been cannonaded,
ar.d bomliarded, for one whole day, without inter-
..

The attack on Chandah appears to have been high-
honourable to the troops employed on the occa-
sion, and to have been a Service of difficulty and
Clanger. The garrison 'of Chandah consisted of up-
wardsof 3,000 men, and was defended by 52 bastions,
kith as many guns, some of the largest calibre. The
two columns of the storming party were commanded
by Colonel H. Scott, and led on by him and Colonel
Popham. They advanced with as much steadiness
and order as if on parade, to within 20 paces, when a
simultaneous dash, made in the most intrepid man-
ner, by both columns, carried them to the summit of
the breach. They then separated to the right and
left to oppose the enemy, 800 of whom flanked the
breach, and fought with such resolution that several
of our ofFcers were opposed' hand to hand ; and, at
' this rune, Captains Charleswortri and Watson received
*Tier, sabre wounds. After a close and warm con-
test; the enemy gave way in all directions. Many
threw themselves from the walls, and were killed in
the fall or cut up by the horse. The breach was
capital, and of such easy ascent, that a horse-artillery
.-run 'Wit run up, and by great labour brought into
the interior of the city. Tte heat iathe batteries was
excessive ; the thermometer in the open air at noon
being 145. degrees; and several Europeans died in
[--
consequence of the exposure. A considerable stea-
-1 •
sure has been discovered in this place, which will
yield a rich booty to the attackiug force. The fall of
Chandah took place on the 28th of May. Ach ices
had been received from Sir John Malcolm's camp at
Keyree (about 20 miles north of Asseerghur),: dated
June 3 ; at which time Bajee Row was close to Sir
John's camp on his way to Benares. The conditions
on which Bajee Row had given himself up, are said

to bo--: safe conduct to Benares, and a residence
there, under the protection of the British Government,
with an annual income of ten lacs of rupees; Bajee
Row reaoucing all claims to sovereignty.
_ _

Another gallant affair took klace on the 10th of
June, in the capture of the Foil of Pritchilghur, by

Lieutenant-Colonel Cunningham, which was carried.
by a sort of couple-mats: in the course of a few
minutes after the attack commenced, which was not
till the garrison had been repeatedly summoned to sur-
render, the place was in the possession of the British.

The last grand military operation detailed in these
papers is the fall of the important fortress of-Mulia-
gaiim, which occuraed in the Nth June. This event
