from the laist'clat's of them cifitild such lan-
' guage have been ve towards their Queen, if they
lhought rer guilty, as had been used by those who
asted of, Inkt disgraced, a higher rank. No ; it was,
as his Lordship might have observed at the Corona-
tion, it was from the well and elegantly dressed
blackguards that her Majesty received the greatest
-sults. These were the circumstances which preyed
upon her Majesty's mind. She saw there was no peace
to be allowed her in this world. Those friends who
still adhered to her, and who took occasion to evince
:their attachment, she saw vilified on every occasion.
Their visits were watched, and then threats were held
over their heads, that every little private circumstance
Which might have been known respecting themselves,
or any of their family, would be laid before tie Pub-
lic. Many, who would have been glad to have paid
their respects to the Queen, were prevented, not
merely on their own account, but pet haps en that of
some relative in the Army, the Navy, or the Church,
whose preferment would thus be obstructed. Her
Majesty felt this in its fhll force, and was unwilling
to receive visits which were to be put chased with such
injury to the parties themselves, or to those connected
with them. It was also a source of mortification to
her Majesty, that on her arrival in this country no
place was fixed tot her residence. She was first in-
debted to the hospitality of a worthy Alderman
(Wood) for a habitation, and afterwards to the kind-
ness of Lady Anne I lamilton for her house; while, at
the same time, the I'ublic were paying for several
unoccupied Palaces—(t/car, hear).—She had then
no attendants but the People ; but now, it seemed,
her body was to be accompanied by a troop of horse,
and a fleet was to convey the remains of her for whose
conveyance to this country not even the smallest vessel
would be allowed—(Hear, hear, hear).—He was
reminded on this occasion of the lines of a Poet, (Pope)
who, if he had lived, might apply some of his lines to
her Maje,ty's case
Left me to see 0, Elected genius bloom,
" Neglected die, and tell it on his tomb.'
And he might have added—
" But still the great have kindness in reserve,
" They help to bury whom they help to st..ll:e.
It was, without doubt, that the cruelty of the treat-
ment received by her Majesty was a main cause of
her dissolution ; and it would have be-a less unkind
•if, instead of the daggers of the mind with which
they daily pierced her Majesty, they had used a
dagger of steel years ago: for in that case she would
have been spared the misery to which they had since
made her life a prey. Their malice at last took
effect upon her Majesty's frame. Her mighty heart
burst; her spit it fled, leaving a load of misery behind.
It was, however, some consolation to reflect that the
Royal sufferer could be no longer the victim of per-
secution. It was not, of course, in the power of the
Court to give retribution For her wrongs, but what
was in their power they ought to do. They ought
to testify to the Public the e teem and veneration in
which her Majesty was held. It was with this view
he should submit his Resolution. The worthy Alder-
man then read the Resolution (for which see 'Woo--
iisentent in the preceding rage).
The motion was seconded by
Dlr. FA VEL I, who, in a short and neat speech,
dwelt forcibly upon the many amiable qualities of
her Majesty, and the violence and rancour if bet
persecutors.
The motion was then put and carried unanimously.
Mr. FAVELL then said, that having carried the first
Resolution, it was impossible they• could suffer her
Majesty's body to pass through the City without tes-
fifylag their most dutiful regard. Ile could not
think the Government would so precipitate the lune-
'ral, or turn it aside from the City, so as to prevent'
the Corporation of London from doing honour to
her Majesty's remains. He hoped they would allow
the funeral to pass through the City ; but even if that
•should not be the case, yet still he thought his Reso-
lution, if carried, would mark the feeling of the
Corporation. He then moved the second Resolution
CJor which see Adveracemeni ).
After a few words from Mr. Deputy PAYNT ER
and Mr. Jure, the IteArlUtioll was put and carried
unanimously.
It was then put and carried unanimously, that the
Sheriffs do forthwith wait on Lord Liverpool, in
order to know the hour at which the Corporrtion
should attend at Temple-bar. After which it was
referred to the Committee which had been appointed
to attend her Majesty to St. Paul's on' the 29th of
November last, to make arrangements for carrying
the ether Resolutions into effect.
The Council then immediately separated.

The SHERIFFS, immediately after the Court was
over, proceeded, with the Rx.xtemmtascEn, to the
Office of the Secretary of State, where they had an
interview with Mr. Hontiousz.
Sheriff WAITHMAN, as the High Sheriff, statei
that they attended in conformity with the Resolutions,
of the Court of Common Council, held that day, and I
expressed the anxiety with which the Citizens and
Public in general expected to have au opportunity of
paying their best respects to the Royal retrains, and
the disappointment which would be occasioned if
they should be sent by any other road than through
the City,

Yesterd ty morning, soon after ten o'clock, the Un-
dertaker's people,under the direction of Mr.Ttromas,
of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, had prepared the
Marble Hall, at Brandenburgh House, for the recep-
tion of the Royal corpse, in order to its lying in state.
The preparations were of the ordinary kind. The
Marble Hall is at the back .of the house, on the
ground floor, adjoining the apartment in which her
MAJESTY died. The walls and floor of this Hall
were covered with black cloth, that on the walls ar-
ranged in festoons, and the pillars which support the
ceiling were also covered with the same material ;
but, unlike the other preparations of the same kind,
of which we have seen so many lately, the ceiling

was not covered at all. In the centre of the room,
immediately facing the entrance, a plain, square
canopy of black cloth was erected, and underneath
stood the trestles intended to support the coffin.—
The entrance hall and vestibule were entirely co-
vered with black.

The workmen having so far completed the arrange-
ments, repaired to the adjoining apartment to remove
the Royal coffin, and place it beneath the canopy ;
but the door was found to be locked ; nor could the

key be found anywhere. Application was made suc-
cessively -to all the members of the Household, but
nobody knew anything of it. Mere than three quar-
ters of an hour were spent in useless inquiry after it;
and at length Mr. TriostAs directed the workmen to
open the door by taking off the lock. This was
speedily accomplished, and the Royal coffin was
' placed in the situation prepared for it.
Whilst these things were cluing, the crowd at the
Lodge was every moment accumulating : but a strong
party of the Bow-street Patrol had command of the
gates, and admitted only such persons as they thought
proper. This caused much dissatisfaction and tur-
moil throughout the day ; and the murmurs were
loud and incessant—both at the Lodge gates, and at
the Stable-yard, both of which were surrounded by
many hundreds of people, chiefly females, very re•
spectably attired in deep mourning ; who toiled and
struggled hour after hour with infinite perseverance.
This scene continued till after three o'clock, when
they were somewhat pacified b; its.being announced
that they would be indiscriminately admitted after
six o'clock.

It was not till that hour that the ceremony of
lying in fill state" commenced; that is, the can-
dles were net all lighted, nor did the attendants wear
their scarfs. During this time, however, many of the
neighbouring Gentry were admitted in small parties;
and on no former occasion of the kind did we ever
witness such a manifestation of mental affliction. The
.Ladies, for the most part, wept audibly—many
threw themselves upon their knees before the coffin,
and clasped their hands convulsively. In the course
of the morning was observed among the company
the lion. Mrs. DANIEK, who approached the Royal
coffin and fervently kissed it. She was accompanied
by Lady ANNE HAMILTON, and appeared so absorbed
in grief, that her Ladyship had some difficulty in
withdrawing her from the melancholy scene.
At length six o'clock arrived and full state com-
menced, but there was a very considerable deficiency
of the usual ceremonies on these occasions.
A pall of black velvet lined with white sarsnet was
thrown over the coffin, turned back so as to shew its
foot, and a very indifferent imitation of the Royal
Crown was placed on a golden fringed purple velvet
cushion at is head ; but the pall was unadorned with
a single e%cutcheon. Three candles burned on either
side the coffin; immediately over it appeared an em-!
blazonment of the Royal Arms in a lozenge-shaded
cloth of silver, six smaller escutcheons with the arms
of Britain and Brunswick quartered were displayed
near it, and the walls were gloomily enlightened with
a few silver sconces. The only persons officially in
attendance on the part of Government, were three
Grooms of the Great Chamber, Messrs. Nos?, GAR.-
ueNen, and SEYMOUR, and two of the undertaker's
men. There were no noble mourners, no Pursuivants
in their tabards, no Yeomen of the Guard, nor airy of
the usual accompaniments to denote the high rank of
the illustrious deceased.
The gates at the Lodge were now thrown open,
and many hundred persons rushed tumultuously
down the avenue, but an order was given almost im-
mediately that no more should be admitted. There
was no thoroughfare through the room of sive, and
those who first obtained admittance found it so ex-
tremely difficult to get out again, that much confu-
sion appeared likely to ensue, and therefore the order
to close the gates again was issued.
In the course of the after noon, several pieces of
cannon, the property of private individuals, were
Planted on the opposite side of the River, for the put..

pose of firing minute guns daring the removal of the
. . . _ .

body through the grounds of the house.

TEN O'CLOCK, LAST NIGHT.
No satisfactory intelligence as to the route of the
funeral is yet obtained. Dr. LusHINOTON and Mr
WILDE have sent a written remonstrance to Lbrd
LIVERPOOL against the removal of the body to-mor-
row. To this letter Lord LIVERPOOL has sent a long
and somewhat indistinct answer; the purport of
which is, that he sees no sufficient cause for further
delay, and that the request cannot be granted without
public inconvenience; at the same time he observes,
that the Procession may be longer than two• days on
its journey to Harwich ; but with this peremptory
proviso—that the embarkation must take place on
Thursday. So impressed, however, were Dr. LUSH-
tworox and Mr.WiLDE with the impropriety of hur.

Tying the ceremonies, that they have just forwarded
a second letter to Lord LIVERPOOL, in which they
are understood to have stated, that, deprived as they
are of the means of conducting her MAJESTY'S fune-
ral in a way becoming her exalted rank, and con-
sistent with their own sense of duty, they refuse to
act : that if the body is removed on Tuesday morn-
ing, it is the sole act and deed of the Gove;nment,
which they, the Executors, have no power to prevent;
and that it will be done contrary to their wishes, and

against their consent. We suppose that the Govern-
ment will, notwithstanding, exercise their power.

THIS MORNING..
This morning being appointed for removing the
mortal remains of her MAJESTY, the people of the

Metropolis, who had sympathized so warmly with
hor sorrows, and advocated her cause so ardently,
were anxious to pay the last sad tribute of respect to

departed greatness.
The secrecy which had been observed by those
who had the direction of the Procession, as to the
route it was intended to take, left the Public in a
state of the most distressing uncertainty ; and rumour
with its thousand tongues suggested every different
road that could possibly be taken. So early as five
o'clock, crowds were seen hastening to the different
points where it was supposed to pass, and hurrying
from one place to another in the most painful anxiety.
Each person seemed like " a man that has lost his
way, and no one to inquire it of."
Among the reports of the morning, some were sin-
gular enough. It was said that the Executers would
not suffer the body to be removed today; that Al-
derman WOOD had a second time been refused per-
mission to attend the Procession ; that as soon as it
had passed the outskirts of the Metropolis, the QUEEN'S
Coachman would be displaced from the State carriage,
and another coachman supersede him, who would
hurry the Procession more rapidly than it was other-
wise expected to move ; and, as if none of these ru-
mours were improbable enough, some determined to
outherod Herod" in fiction, and circulated the re.
pert, that the removal could not take place to-day,
as Mr. BROUGHAM and Mr. DENMAN had arrested
the body for law expenses! It is scarcely necessary
to contradict ail these rumours, as they could not
have obtained a moment's credit, except at a time
when public feeling was so absorbed in grief as not
to leave time for a moment's reflection.
At a quarter past five o'clock this morning the
Hearse, drawn by eight black horses, passed through
Hyde Park Turnpike on its way to Brandenburg!:
House. On each side were emblazoned the Royal
Arms, and at the end a Royal Coronet surmounted
the letters C. R. Fifteen mourning coaches, each
drawn by six horses, followed at short intervals.
A great number of horsemen, forming part of the
intended voluntary escort, assembled in Piccadilly
and in Hyde Park, whilst others, principally those of
the Committee, rode on to endeavour to ascertain the
direct route, in order to communicate it as early as
possible, not only to the main body of horse, but also
to the different bodies of foot, who had assembled
with flags and banners in various parts of the Metro-
polis to join the Procession.
The Gentlemen on horseback were all in mourn-
ing, with black hat-bands, and, generally, crape
scarfs. The Gentlemen of the Committee had short
white staves, like batons, mounted with crape.
The crowd, which had last night assembled at
Hammersmith and near Ileanclenburgh-House, only
partially dispersed, many remaining the whole of the
night, anxious to get a glance at the mansion where
the object of their loyal affection remained for the
last few hours, as the gates opened to admit the egress
or ingress of those in immediate attendance.
Mr. BAILEY, of Mount-street, Grosvenor-square,
whom his MAJESTY'S Government has appointed
Conductor of her MAJESTY'S Funeral Procession, ar-
rived with the hearse and mourning-coaches between
five and six o'clock, at Brandenburgh House. Sir
GEORGE SAYLER, as Clarenceux King of Arms, ar-
rived by six o'clock, attended by Mr. HooD, the
Herald : they were ushered into the State Apart-
ment, and a scene of a very extraordinary nature
took place soon afterwards, which we shall faithfully
detail in its proper place.
A little after six o'clock Dr.LvsittucTox arrived.
Mr. WILDE, Mr. BROUGHAM, Alderman Wool), Mr.
HOBIIOVSE, Sir ROBERT WILSON, Mr. THOMAS
(acting for Mr. MANI, of the Lord Chamberlain's
Office), Dr. HOLLAND, Lieutenants FLYNN and How-
NAM, Count VASSALI, &c. were piesent in the State
Apartment.
At six o'clock precisely, a squadron of the Oxford
Blues, under the command of Captain Bouvcan, ar-

rived (mm their Barracks, Regent's Park, which they
left at a quarter before five, at Brandenburgh-House,
iiird rode up the avenue from the Lodge, and formed
into a line in front of the house. The crowd expressed
considerable displeasure on the entrance of the sol.

diers ; but they acted with great forbearance, and
took no notice of it. The gates of Brandenbuigh.

Officers of Bow-street, attended by a number of Pa-

Hammersmith was thronged with crowds of pence

of all classes, who had arrived from London. Every
vehicle from a coach and four to a cart were in re.

quisition. Every house and shop were shut up.
The church-bells tolled to minute time, and tai.
nute guns were fired from the banks of the Thames
opposite I3randenburgh House. It rained all the
morning without cessation. The London Committee
were wet to the skin by the time they arrived at
Hammersmith. The Hammersmith 'Committee were
on horseback, and attired the same as the other.
The London Committee was headed by Mr. Hume
and Mr. Hotertouse, and the Hammersmith by Mr.
Gomme, the Churchwarden, and Mr. BOWLING. The
carriages were admitted into the avenue leading from
the Lodge to the House, by Perry, the Officer. At
half-past seven o'clock orders were issued by Mr.
BAILEY for every person to be in readiness to depart
with the Procession, and he went into the State-
room to give directions to the Loan CHAMBERLAIN'S
Officers to deliver up the body to the persons in
waiting, who would carry it to the hearse. The
persons whose names are above mentioned, except
Mr. WILDE, were in the State-room at this period.
They stood in the following situations

Mr. Boon, the Herald, holding in his band the direceons
from his Alarms's Government, authorising him to remove
the body.

On each side of the entrance of the State apartment stood
the Officers of the Lord Chamberlain (Grooms of the Great
Chamber), Messrs. NOST, GARDNER, and Szvxona, in plain
dresses of black, not their State attire.

On each side of the body were arranged, Mr. Daticonam, Sit.
RODER"' WILSON, Mr. HORDOUS, Mr. THOMAS, Dr. HOLLAND,
Mr. BaurY, Mr. Comma= (the Assistant Conductor), Alder-
man WOOD, Ray. Mr. WOOD (her )aassTr's Chaplain), Count
Vassaim, &C. dtc. &C.

On the body of her MAJESTY being demanded of
the Executors, pr. LUSHINGTON spoke to the follow-
ing effect Sir George Nayler and Mr. Bailey,
you know what has already taken place. upon the
subject of her late Majesty's interment : you know
what has been the expressed wish of her Majesty's
Executors upon the necessity of delay, for the pur-
pose of making preparations for so long a journey,
and also upon the disgraceful conduct that has been
persisted in by his Majesty's Government (in direct
opposition to the known will of her late Majesty),
in forcing into the funeral procession a great body
of soldiers. I enter my solemn protest against the
removal of her Majesty's body, in right of the legal
power which is vested in me by her late Majesty, as
Executor. Proper arrangements for the funeral,,
and the long journey and voyage by sea, have not
.been made—there has not been time for it ; and I
command that the body be not removed till the an
rangements suitable to the rank and dignity of the
deceased are made."
Mr. BAILEY.—" I have orders from Government
to remove the body, which is now in the custody of
the Lord Chamberlain. I must do my duty. The
body must be removed."
Dr. LUSHINGTON.--" Touch the body at your
peril ! You have no power to act contrary to the
will of her Majesty's Executors, and, they do their
duty by protesting against such an usurpation."
Mr. BAILEY.—" You do not mean to use violence,
and prevent by force the removal of the body, I trust,
Dr. Lushington ?"
Dr,Lusts swrost.—" I shall use no violence myself."
Mr. BAILEY.—" Nor recognize it in others ?"
Dr. LUSHINGTON." i shall neither assist in nor
recommend violence, nor shall I join the Procession
in my official character of Executor, but merely go
as a private individual, to chew my respect for her
Majesty."
Mr. BAILEY.—" Very well, Sir. I shall discharge
my duty firmly, and, I trust, properly."
After the above conversation had passed, the Pro-
cession began to leave the House.
The whole road from Kensington-to Brandenburgh
House was now crowded with spectators, notwith-
standing a severe rain, which continued without in-
termission from six o'clock. The wetness of the
morning, when Nature seemed to sympathize with
the public feeling on the mournful occasion, was con-
trasted with the singular fine weather which had been
observed to have favoured every public Procession to
congratulate her MAJESTY on her triumph.
All the shops and houses were shut; and every
person, both in Hammersmith and Kensington, who
appeared at their doors and windows, were in mourn-
ing; even the inmates of the little cottages near Bran-
denburgh House had made an effort to pay this bum-
ble but genuine respect to her late MAJESTY. A
house at Kensington attracted much attention, from
