HER LATE MAJESTY.

The respectful tribute paid by the Citizens of Lon-
don to the memory of their QUEEN was more general
vster.lay than it was immediately upon her decease.
Et Fleet-street, the Strand, Piccadilly, Pall-mall, and
the intersecting streets, we did not see a single shop
the windows of which were not partially closed :
many were shut up altogether; and at the cast end
of the town the expression was equally decided.
Many persons already appear in black ; certainly no
Court Order will be necessary to make the mourning
universal. These open demonstrations of regret have
their value, because they broadly contradict those
who have insulted and libelled the QUEEN, and who
would (if they could) misrepresent the state of public
opinion : for the rest, it is not pomp of oatward,
show, " not customary suits of solemn black," that
can denote the feelings of the British peoplo truly.
Carlton Palace was close shut up. The Public
Theatres were closed on Wednesday night, but they
were open yesterday evening, and will be closed
again only on the night of the funeral. The arrange.
meats respecting that last solemn ceremony cannot
be finally fixed until an answer shall have been re-
cs:ived to the dispatches sent to his MAJESTY. All

the ships in the River have had their ti tgs half-mast
high, since Wednesday morning, with the exception
of the Government tender, lying off the Tower; but
yesterday this vessel also lowered its flag.
It was stated in some of the I.34i)ers, the other day,
that her MAJESTY sat up in a chair for some time
on the day preceding that on which she .died. We
learn that on this occasion she pointed out a particu-
lar tireA which she wished to wear. She was ac-
cordingly attired as she requested, and placed by her
female attendants in her sofa-chair. Shortly after,
the Physicians came into the room, and manifested
by signs son:c surprise and disapprobation towards
the attendants in consequence. Her MAJESTY, ill
as she was, immediately perceived this, and said,
llood-lturnouredly, 14 Gentlemen, they have but
obeyed the ordels of a Queen. And suppose their
doing so should shorten my mortality a few hours—
of what consequence is it? Can it be material whe-

diet my worldly sufferings end this day or to-mor-
row?"—There have been many conjectures as to the
jrnmediate cause of her Alsatsrv's illness. We have
every reason to believe, from a multitude of inqui-
ries we have made, that, independent of the general
state of suspense and agitation in which her Mt-
Jens' may naturally be supposed to have passed her
time since her last arrival in England, the circum-
stances attendant on her visit to the scene of the
Coronation, ob the morning of the 19th July,
may have materially contributed to bring on that
crisis which terminated in her dissolution. On that
eventful day her MAJESTY, very thinly attired,
and almost with the first dawn of morning, set out
in an open carriage from Brandenburgh-House on
her way to Westminster, with feelings more easily
imagined than described. The reception she there
met with has been already fully and faithfully de-
tailed in this Journal. But it was evident to her per-
sonal attendants, that notwithstanding all that had
passed, she had still calculated upon being received
as became her high station, and that she suffered the
deei rest disappointment in consequence. Thencefor-
ward her Maar,s-ry became more than ordinarily
thoughtful and melancholy: her state of mind at
times approached even to despondency, and she was
frequently indisposed slightly.
lii a few days afterwards she signified her inten-*
tioa of visiting Drury-Lane Theatre again, and her
attendants looked forward to the appointed day with
pleasure, in the hope that the amusement might tend
to dispel her melancholy. Some hours before the
time, harrever, her MAJESTY was attacked by exces-
sive sickness at the stomach. Her Ladies, who for
many days had been anxiously contemplating her
declining health, became alarmed, and strenuously
prayed her to relinquish her intention of visiting the
Theatre. lier MAJESTY, with a manifestly forced
cheerfulness, replied—.. Why should I not go ? I
shall be well crirectly. My going has been an-
nounced in the bills and papers of the day: it may
be that some persons will go there also because of
it, and I never will di.appoint even a single indivi-
dual whilst I have the power to avoid so doing."—
She then ordered a quantity of warm water, of
which she drank copiously, which had its usual effect;
and she then went to the Theatre as she had appointed.
But her indisposition increased even whilst she was
there; and went on accumulating till it terminated
in her death. The malady, however, was not, we
have good authority for believing, of recent origin.'
This unfortunate Princess had been more than once
attacked by the same disease, and about two years
ago, when she resided at. Pesaro, it assumed so alarm-
ing an appearance, that the Physicians, during a
period of three days, were in momentary expectation
that the result would prove fatal.
The following anecdote illustrates her Nlaaarry's
kind disposition, and the complacency with which she
regarded the termination of her lifer-4g The QUEEN
mid the domestics that attended her on Sunday last,
that she Ss ished Mr. Busch to come to measure her
for her coffin; she asked again if he was come ; the
servants made excuses: she told them he must make
the shell of cedar-wood. Mr. BUSCH had done a little
woe k for her in cedar-wood (a bcokcase), at Con-

naught-place, before she left England, and lately she
gave him an order to make a writing-desk of cedar-
wood, an exact copy of one she had bought at the
Litz Duke of KENT'S sale: this was made, and when
finished, sent to her house in South Audley-street ;
and she ordered the one bought at the Duke of KEN is
to he sent to Mr. Alderman.Wooo, because she had
heard that he had given an order to Mr. DENEW, the
au,•tion,:er, to purchase the desk, as he was anxious
to have it as a relic of the Duke of KENT, having
seen him frequently writing at it. This was twelve
months ago, and Mr. Alderman WOOD had never
thought of it, until she sent the desk. But this was
her MAJESTY'S disposition ; she was always planning
'to do so ne kind act. The executors having seen
LOrd LIVERPOOL, and the Government undertaker
being ordered to arrange for the fdneral, they have
e.mplied with bet MAJkSTY'S wish. Mr. Busch was
sen: for, and lie made the shell."

The t o!lo tying circu nmances are strongly illustrative
of her MAJKSTY'S conscious innocence, and the sweet-
ness of her disposition. On Saturday night last, when
ber l'io:essional Advisers were talking with her re
speeting her world 1) atrairs, one of them suggested
the propriety of sending a messenger to Italy to sea
1—

•
up her papers, to prevent their falling into the hands
of her enemies.--, And what if they do 7 exclaimed
her MAJESTY, have no papers that they may not
see: they can find nothing, because there is nothings
nnr ever has been, to impeach my character:—Her
1 Tal adviser said he was perfectly aware of that ; but
lie could not but believe that her enemies might put
there what they did not find. She replied,' that she
had always defied their malice, and she defied it still.

The other anecdote shews how careful she whom
almost all parties and persons had in turn wounded,
was of wounding the feelings of others. To amuse
herself she was generally occupied two or three hours
of a morning in committing to a diary various retie&
tions on the events of the preceding day, and as she
had a great relish for humour, she had (as she herself
as.erted) sometimes indulged herself with recording
any peculiarity of character that forced itylf on her
notice. Her MAJESTY said, that the sole purpose of
this journal was to while away a few hours of time
that sometimes hung rather heavily, and that the
purpose having been answered, it was now proper to',
destroy the book, especially as, though written with'
no such intention, it might cause pain where she
should grieve to produce anything but pleasure. She
therefore ordered MARIETTE BRUNE to burn the
diary, and the gill accordingly burnt it. Those who
knew the tact, the unerring sagacity, with which her
MAJESTY appreciated the character of people almost
at first sight, with the singular point and spirit of her
phraseology, will regret the destruction of this manu-
script as a serious loss, but all will admire the deli-
cacy of mind which dictated its destruction. .
An anxious observer of the state of her MAJESTY'S
mind in the latter melancholy period of her life, has
made the following remarks:

14 She has fallen the victim of the most cruel and
unrelenting persecution : she must have been more
than woman, more than mortal, not to have felt her
wrongs ; she was a heroine, and suppressed them; all
but those who hare an interest to say otherwise, must
believe and affirm that she literally died of grief; for
the disease which brought her to the grave was occa-
sioned by the suppression of sorrow. Apparently she
was ever thegayest of the company, the life of the house
she made so happy, by her kindness and affability.
—She would not that even her friends, her dearest
friends, should know how much she suffered but it
is difficult always to deceive the anxious eye of affec-
tion and devoted friendship; and those who were
most with her, and knew her best, saw with pain that
her spirits were all forced—that her gaiety was not
that of :he heart—that she suffered most deeply, and
felt all her wrongs with the most bitter anguish, the
more heart-rending that she would not admit the
sympathy of friendship, for she would never own her
grief ; yet, sometimes, when to a casual observer she
appeared to be fully engaged at any amusement she
WAS fond of—when she seemed the most free from
care or thought, those who watched her every look
with the anxious eye of devoted attachment and fide-
lity, have seen the tear of silent agony steal down her
cheek when she thought no one was near who could
observe that the QUEEN of ENGLAND wept at the
cruelty of her malignant enemies. Few things during
the last year of her trials and sufferings gave her so
much pain as the circumstance of her refusal to ac-
cept of the grant from Parliament. She had originally
determined in her own mind to accept it, as the first
gracious act of the Sovereign towards her; but she was
otherwise advised, and she yielded to that advice.—
But the severest blow to her feelings was the neces-
sity
which forced her for once to submit to retract
what she had said: firm as she was of purpose and
always decisive, to yield to her enemies inflicted a
wound she never recovered : and what gave more
anguish still, was the thought that her enemies would
in triumph exclaim " She had yielded." And for
what? For money ; which she cared not for; and
which, at last, she only accepted to enable her to pay
her debts; for, at the moment she agreed to accept
the money from Parliament, she had not £lO in the
house to detray the common expenses of the day,
and nothing at her banker's. She expected that, on
her agreeing to take the grant, Government would
have given her a house and some outfit for her esta-
blishment, when she would have paid all her debts,
and would have been quite satisfied as to pecuniary
affairs, for she never valued money for her own per-
sonal gratification. Instead of this, they deducted
upwards of £4,000, which they had paid for a car-
riage and house-rent:'

It is expected that the Committee who managed
the Procession to St. Paul's Cathedral, will make
some arrangement with the various Parishes of
the Metropolis for some mode of testifying their
last respect to their QUEEN. It is supposed that
a voluntary Procession, more honourable than mil-
lions of hired mourners, will accompany the•corpse
some considerable portion of the way to Harwich.—
The Corporation of London will no doubt form part
of this solemn cortege. It is calculated that the Pro-
cession will be three days going to Harwich ; and it
is proposed that an escort of Cavalry shall go with
the hearse to the place of embarkation, when a Guard
of Honour will be sent on board the ship to accom-
pany the body to its final destination. The Executors
will attend the closing scene.

A considerable change took place yesterday in
the appearance of the Royal corpse. On Wednesday
nothing could exceed the calm dignity of her MA-
JESTY'S face, and we have reason to believe that an
eminent Artist was employed to take a cast of the
features. Yesterday that gradual decomposition took
place, which, considering the violence of her MA'
JESTY'S disorder, it was wonderful had not taken
place sooner, and it would not have been possible to
do justice to her fine expressive countenance. Lady
HOOD and Lady ANNE HAMILTON alternately remain
beside the Royal corpse—thus shewing themselves
as attentive to their dead as they were to their
living Mistress.

Yesterday morning the body of her MAJESTY was
enveloped in a cere-cloth, by Mr. TuomPSON, her MA-
JESTY'S Apothecary, and his assistants, in the pre-
sence of Dr. HOLLAND; and between eight and nine
o'clock in the evening it was placed in a shell of cedar-
wood. Lord and Lady Hoot), and Lady ANNE
IlAstitToN, were ple3eitt when the body was put
into the shell.

Her MAJESTY, before her dissolution, gave direc-
tions that the shell should be made by a cabinet-
maker who had, since her MAJESTY'S arrival in Eng-
land, been a very zealous friend, and who had manu-

•
factired seberal attic/es of caMiet-work for her
MAJESTY very recently,
The exterior coffin is making, not it Messrs:rttANcE
and BA NTING'S, as erroneously states, but at Messrs.
BAILEY and SA UNDEES% in Mount-street upholsterers
to his present MAJESTY. Messrs. TRANCE and BANt•
INQ were the upholsterers of the late KING. The
coffin, we understand, is to be of garter-blue velvet,
with silver-gilt decorations, in the usual style of•
Royal coffins. All the other prepara ion, for the in-
terment—such as the order of the ceremony, the
style of mourning, and even the place of ,epiilchre,
we believe, wait the orders of his MAJEirv, in an-
swer to the dispatches which have been seat after the
Court by the Cabinet Council holden on Wcdues-
day last.
_ _

Mr. WILDE, and Mr. Fox, of Doctors' Commons,
were the only arrivals at Brandenhurgh House yes-
terday,
and they remained till late in
.the evening.
Several persons have called at Branienburgh
House, and expressed a wish to see the remains of
her MAJESTY; but, in compliance with her MA-
JESTY S wish, " not to be made a sliew of," it was
thought proper to refuse the applicants their request.
At Fulham, when the death of the QUEEN was first
known, the Churchwardens gave directions that the
bell should immediately be tolled. This the Re-
verend Rector opposed, but the right vested in these
Gentlemen by virtue of their office could not be dis-
puted, and, by their order, the bell immediately com-
menced tolling.
In consequence of the lamented death of the Queex,
the Master and NVardens of the Stationers Company,
have given directions that-the intended dinner at the
Hall, on Thursday, the 16th instant, shall be post-'I
poned to some future day.
Yesterday, being the annual Inauguration-day of,
investing the Master of the Drapers' Company for I
the ensuing year, the grand ceremony usually ob-
served upon that occasion was dispensed with, on
account of the death of her MAJESTY. A large party
of the Gentlemen of the Company, amongst whom
was the LORD MAxon, partook of an elegant dinner
at their Hall.

The death of her MAJESTY will produce a consi-
derable change in the situation at the Bar of Messrs.
BROUGHAM and DENMAN, her Attorney and Solici-
tor-General.

The military band which generally plays whilst the
Regiments mounting the KING'S guard in St. James's
Park relieve each other, has not played since her
MAJESTY'S decease. The same mournful silence is
observed in marching to or from their
_barracks in
Portman-street, Portman-square.
THE QUEEN'S WILL.—We mentioned yesterday
that the QUEEN is reported to have left the greater
part of her property, which could not be consider-
able, to Mr. WILLIAM AUSTIN She is said to have
left her carriages and horses to Dr. LUSHINGTON.--
These is also a request that Goverpme2t would pay
£lOOO due on Cambridge House, and £5OO to Lord
HOOD. There are some minor bequests to her
domestics.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF HER LATE MAJESTY,

QUEEN CAROLINE.

Her MAJESTY was the second daughter and fifth
child of the late CHARLES WILLIAM FERDINAND,
Duke of BRUNSWICK WOLFENBUTTLE, by the Prin-
cess AUGUSTA, daughter of his Royal Highness the,
late FREDERICK LEWIS, Prince of WALES' and sister
of our late revered and most gracious Sovereign,
King GEORGE 111. The Princess was considered by
the Court and the P6ople of England as a most de-
sirable match for his Royal Highness the Prince of
WALES. The marriage of their Royal Highnesses,
after a short negotiation, took place on the Bth of
April, 1795, in the presence of the Royal Family,
and of the principal Nobility in the kingdom. No-
thing could be more magnificent than the celebra-
tion of these nuptials, nor more touching than the
joy which all classes of the people testified on the
occasion. Addresses were poured in from every
part of the country, to congratulate the Royal
couple on their union; and when, in a few months
afterwards, it was understood that the Princess was
in a way to give an heir to the Throne, the happiness
of the People was at its height. Within a very few
months, however, after the Royal nuptials, domestic
differences arose, of what nature We cannot distinctly
state. These unhappy differences, from whatever cause
they sprung, terminated in a separation within three,
months after the birth of the late lamented Princess
CHARLOTTE, which happened on the 7th of January,
1796. The Princess of WALes became the inhabitant
of a separate establishment on Blackheath. During
her residence here, her Royal Highness formed an
acquaintance with SirJoHN and Lady DOUGLAS, who
were her constant associates. After a lapse of some
time, her Royal Highness was informed of circum-
stances which induced her to decline the connection,
which laid the foundation of what is known by the
name of the "Delicate Investigation." But though
the Princess was cleared of the charge imputed to her-
by two successive commissions of the Cabinet Council,
and subsequently by- her Sovereign and Uncle, her
domestic disquietude was not removed ; she-was still
an exile from Court, her intercourse with her daugh-
ter restricted, and her actions as closely watched as
ever. She adopted the resolution of seeking comfort
abroad, and accordingly, in the year 1814., the Prin-
cess quitted England, very much against the advice
of her confidential friends, Mr. WHITBREAD and
Mr. BROUGHAM.

The circumstances attending her residence on the
Continent ale too recent in the recollections of Eng-
lishmen to require enumeration. The same observa-
tions apply to the interval from her MAJESTY'S re-
turn to England, in June last, to the commencement
of the malady which terminated in her dissolution.
Her MAJESTY was born May 17, 1768, and died on
the 7th of the present month, at the age of 53 years,
two months, and 21 days.

DatntY-LANE.—This Theatre, which had been
closed in pursuance to orders from the Lord Cham-
berlain's Otlice, waslast night re-openeJ. The pc'.
formances were, The Coronation, preceded by die
Liar, and followed by Giovanni in Loudon.
HAYMARKET.—This Theatre re-opened last night
with Sylvester Duaaertooad, :Lase and Fall, and For-
tune's I,ulic, and was well attended.

ENGLISH OPERA Hotisz.—The new comic Piece
of Two Wives was pet formed for the second time
last night, with (if possible) increased eclat.

FURTHER INTEKES77.Va PARTICUG4I''

`This morning an interview took plate at the Ho.
Department o.fice, between Sir Geottoc NaTiett.
the Heralds' College, and Mr. limmotisr., the UP •
Secretary of State, for the purpose of making snr
necessary prepa•ations, and for issuing orders for
gulating the procession, on the removal of her M
itsTv's body from town to Harwich.
Mr.-Thomas, of the Lord Charnberlain's Ofrit o
and Mr. Ilamtv, of the house of Bailey and Saul
dcrs, his Ai AJ F:4resCabinet-rna kers and Upholstere
subsequently had an interview with Mr. Hosuousr,
and it was determined to proceed with the funela
pcparation only as far as would be requisite, ut•••
his AIA.Jr ;TV should decide whether her MAJESTY'S
I elnilin3 should be it:ttried either at Windsor (

To-morrow is the day at present fixed for the re.
moval of the body from l3randenburgh House, at„
her /sl4.rEsTv's Household Only, will be allowed ti
form part of the funeral procession; but it depeit.:s
entirely upon the arrival of an express with dis-
patches from Ireland, whether the removal will take
place to-nu:110W or not. Her NIAJEsTv's coffin (the
interior one) is lined with white satin, the bottom is
covered with a satin mattress, and a pillow of the
same at the head.

I ler MAJESTY, prior to her dissolution, expressed
a wish to be buried in a night-dress of her own, and
not in a shroud ; her wish was complied with, and
yesterday Mr. BAILEY and his assistants, in the pre-
sence of Lord HOOD, Lady Hoon, Lady HAMILTON,
Mr.Wvi.ne, Alderman WOOD, &c. removed the body
from' the board on which it was laid out, into the
coffin, it having been previously attired in the grave
clothes, viz. a long white linen night-gown, with a
frill round the neck, and a plain cap on the head.
The body being within the lea Jen coffin, several
men went down last night to solder it up; but her
MAJESTY'S executors and their friends determined'
that it should not be closed up till the arrival of in-
telligence from his MAJESTY. This morning work-
men went to Brandenburgh House, from Messrs.
BAILEY and SAUNDERS, to darken the room which
Contains the QUERN'S body.
The windows and walls are covering with black
cloth, and the apartment will have a very impressive
funereal aspect. Wax lights will be burnt night and
day, and some of her MaJesvy's friends will sit by
the corpse continually till it is removed.
TILE QUEEN'S COFFIN.—The outside coffin is
nearly completed, except the plate, which will not
be engraved till orders are received from Govern.
ment, with the form of the inscription to be placed
thereon ; it is made of fine mahogany, covered with
crimson velvet, with gold furniture, and gold nails,
ornamentally placed in the form of diamonds on
the sides, and the lid and ends come pending.—
The cedar coffin was made by Mr. JARVIS, of Pic-
cadilly, for Mr. Buscit, the person who had made
some cabinet work for her MAJESTY. Her MA-.
„testes coffin is very superb, and is precisely of the
same size, form, and material, as that of her late
MAJESTY.

THE WlLL.—.This afternoon her MAJESTY'S Will
is to be opened, in the presence of a Gentleman, on
the part of his MAJEsTy's Government, appointed
by the earl of LIVERPOOL, and her MAJESTY'S House-
hold. The seal has not yet been broken open since it
was closed, some time before her MAJESTY'S death.

The Duke and Duchess of CLA RENCE, the reign-
ing Duke of S.txc MEININGEN, and the Princess
SOPHIA, speat Wednesday evening with the Duchess
of KENT, at her residence at the King's Palace, at
Kensington.
Tuesday, the town of Kingston presented a scene
of the most lively interest, being filled by Nobility
and Gentry, who proceeded thither to partake of a
Grand Festival in honour of his MAJESTY'S Corona-
don, given by C. N. PALMER, Esq. of Norburton
House, Kingston. The Earl of LIVERPOOL and fa-
mily, the Duchess of 13ucct.Eucu, Lady KENNEDY,
Sir B. BLoomFlELo's family, MASSY DAWSON, Esq.
M.P. with a most numerous throng of the Nobility
and Gentry, were present. Some temporary build-
ings were made in the Park and pleasure-grounds,
similar to Bazaars, charged with a variety of fancy
articles and ornaments, which were offered for sale
by some elegant and fashionable young Ladies. The
proceeds were applied in aid of a Charity School in
the neighbourhood. The Band belonging to the 14th
Light Dragoons, with two others, attended; a most
sumptuous dinner was provided for the company,
who were invited by Mr. PALMER ; prior to which
the Charity Children, amounting to 260 girls and
300 boys, were led into the Park, and walked round
it in the presence of the company, whilst the Bands
played slow music, and afterwards partook of some
tefreshment. In the course of the night sky-rockets,
.serpents, globes, and every description of fireworks,
were let off in the Park. Mr. ALLAANDRE, the ce-
lebrated Ventriloquist, was engaged, and amused
the company in the Park wkb his powers in yen-
triloquisno—Mr. ALEXANDRE, we understand, left
town ye,terday for Cheltenham, w hence he proceeds
to Dublin, to gratify the Lis!) with the exhibition of
his unrivalled powers.

Saturday, at Carregnova, near T,lanymnech,' in
North Wales, Mr. WA rkixs, a farmer, in getting
over a stile, struck his le agaiw. a nail, which pierced
an artery ; and before assbtaaLe could be procured
he bled to death.
