after the situation in which her late Majesty had been
Oared—after the part which the Corporation of Lon
dean had Wren in vindication of her honour—it would'
be inipmseale to he silent on the present melancholy

Slat his feelings on the occation were outrun by those
of the tout, and that those feelings would afford an
excuse for his deficiencies. The worthy Altlertn:in
n proceeded in a very touching manner, and to an
Cktent which our limit% will not permit us to follow to
pint out those amiable traits ofcharac ter by which her
Majesty had gained their respect, and those melancholy
sufferings and persecutions by which she had excited
Heir sympathy; and in conclusion observed that it
was without doubt, that the cruelty of the treatment
received by her Majesty, was a main tune of her dis-
solution: and it would have been less unkind if, in-
stead 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
Vared the misery to which they had since made her
life a prey. Their malice at last took effect upon her
Majesty's frame. Iler mighty heart burst ; her spirit
led, leaviug a load of misery behind. It was, how-
ever, some consolation to reflect that the Royal sufferer

not, of course, in the power of the Court to give;

" s held. It was with this view he should submit his
resolution. The Worthy Alderman then read the reso-
lution (for which see advertisement.)
The motion was seconded by
Mr: F trim., who in a short and neat speech, which
our limits will not allow Its to insert, dwelt forcibly upon
the many amiable qnalitles of her Majesty, and the
violence and rancour of her persrcutots.
The motion was then put, and carried unanimously.
Mr. F.leace then said, that having carried the first
resolution, it was impossible they could suffer her Ma-
jesty's body to pass through the city without testi
fling their most dutiful regard. He could not think
the tiov• Fitment would so precipitate the funeral, or
turn it aside from the city so as to prevent the Cor-
poration of London from doing honour to her Majesty's
remains. He hoped they would allow the funeral to
pees through the city; hut cells if that should not be
the ease, yet still he thought his resolution, if carried,'
would mark the feeling of the Corporation. He then
*sieved the second resolution (for which see advertise-
•ment as before.)
After a few words from Mr. Deputy PAYNTRR and
Mr. Jeer, the resolution was put aid carried unani-
monsly.
r it was then put and carried unanimously, th it the
Sheriffs do forthwith wait on Lord Liverpool, in order
to know the briar at Which the Corporation should at-
tend 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 arrangement's for carrying the other resolu,
done into effect.

The Sheriffs, immediately after the Court was over,
proceeded. with the Remenilarancer, to the office of
the Secretary of State, wirete they bad an interview
with My. flobhonse.
Sheriff WAITUMA it; as the High Sheriff, stated that
they attended in conformity with the reeolutions of the
Court of Common.. Council, held that day, and ex-
pressed the anxiety with which the citizens and public
in general expected to have an opportunity of paying
their best respects to the Royal remains, and the dig-
appointment which would be occasioned if they should
be sent slay other road than through the city.
btr. Manaus& said, it was usual to convey the
corpse of any of the Royal Family under a military
escort, which could not pass through tho zisr without
first communicating with the Lord bltyor.
Sheriff Warrustax said, certainly a communication
should by made to the Lord Mayor, if it were peen.'
part Cm a military escort to attend the corpse : and
ssat coineassieation might easily be made.
dr. ,liosnocas then said. he would represent what
bad been stated to Lord Liverpool, and that en early
enures should be given to the communication.
The Sheriffs then rimmed. leaving the Ream.

what precise measure would be adopted; but it would
doubtless be the object of the Meeting to hand down tO
posterity some token of the high respect which they all
entertained for the departed Queen. lie had rot the
ability to convey to his hearers a faithful, or All adegoate
description of the eventful life of her Majt..r. ; but lie
would take upon himself to declare his firm be:icf, that
since her residence in this hamlet her conduct had
been such as to endear her to every heart, and to
give the lie to all the numerous calonini,A that had
been heaped upon her. Even her greatest eeemy
must admit this, and no man who bad bad the fe-
licity of witnessing her kind, her generous, her
affable conduct to all who came under her notice since
she came to reside among them, could withhold the tri-
bute of his admiration. lie then took a review of the
life of her late Majesty, and spoke of her magnanimous
conduct on various trying occasions, with a degree of
warmth and feeling that called forth lepeated cheers
from his auditory. lie declared lie should feel far more
pleasure in having it to say, that be had been the friend
of the Queen in the time of her adversity, than if the
King were to confer upon him the highest gift that it
was in the power of Majesty to bestow.—(clear, hear.)—
it was the duty of the inhabitants of this hamlet towel
such a atonement to the memory of her Majeldy ad
would convey to posterity the high opinion they enter-
tained of her exalted virtues. Their successors would,
he was sure, view it with pride and satisfaction, and
would say exultingly to the gazing passengers—" My
Father,"—or, "31y lirandfather," was one of those
who contributed to the erection of this monument.—

worthy Gentleman proposed the following Resolutions,
which were carried unanimously:—" That this Meet-
ing deeply sympathise in the general feeling. of regret
for the loss of our initeh illustrious and much-injured
Queen.—That a subscription be immediately entered
into for the purpose of erecting some lasting testimonial
of the respect and affection of the people mfor her Mo.
• sty.—That the inhabitants of this hamlet end thel

neighbouring parishes he respectfully requested to c 0.,:
operate in the undertaking; and—That a Comniittest
be appointed to carry into effect the foregoing Reso-
lutions."
A liberal subscription was immediately entered into.

The grounds on which the Executors of her Ma•
jesty's Will have resisted the precipitate removal of
the body of their Royal naihtsess are—l. " that that
short interval since her death was not sufficient for
completing those solemn arrangements ilia belong o
right to a royal funeral, and that the rapid pare at
which it is proposed to travel is unusual, unnecessary,
And therefore an unjustifiable indecorum ; and se-
condly, that no time has ► e'n allowed to communicate
with the Hanoverian authorities on the subject of the
proper means of conveying the holy from Stark to
Brunswick, a distance of nearly 120 miles of sandy
and almost impassable road ; so that it is not impos-
sible that the journey tray be delayed several days for
want of horses or other facilities. Urged by those
powerful reasons, Dr. LestuNc.rox and Mr. WILDE
yesterday afternoon sent a written remonstrance to
Lord Livaaroot., requiring a further delay, and
stating distinctly the grounds of their reyue•t, To
this letter Lord LIVERPOOL. it is understood, sent a
long and somewhat indistinct answer; the purport of
which was, that he saw no sufficient cause for fur-
ther delay, and th.tt the request could not be granted
without public imcourcnience : at the same time be,
observes, that the procession might be longer than
two days on its journey to Harwich but with this pe.
remptory proviso—that the embarkation mutt totte,
place on Thursday.

awl what the public inconvenience is that would.*
produced by delay, we have no occasion to specify.
The motives for the haste are more indecorous titbit
even its effects upon the ceremonies; and so impressed
were Dr. Lushington and Mr. Wilde, with the impro•
priety of the precipitation, that at a late boar last
night,it is stated, they forwarded a second letter to
Lord Liverpool, in which they are understood to have
stated, that, deprived as they are of the means of con-
ducting her Majesty's funeral in a way becoming bet
exalted rank, and consisting with their own sense of
duty. they refuse to act ; that if the body is removed
on Tuesday morning, it is the sole set and deed of the
Government, which they, the executors, have no power
to prevent ; and that it will be dose contrary to their
willies and against their consent. What the result of
the woad letter was, we have not learned, but up to
a very late late hoar last night no answer was re-
turned.

At eight o'clock last Night a numerous and most
respectable meeting of the Committee, that bad for-
merly coadacted the procession of the Qom to St.
