proposed to send away Her Majesty's remains. It was at first required that the body should be moved on Monday, but this was represented to be absolutely impossible. After a delay of one day for the removal had been obtained with much difficulty, it was ordered that the procession should be only two days on the road, and that the embarkation should take place on the second day. As the distance of Harwich from Hammersmith is not less than 80 miles, it is evident that the journey could not be performed in two days, except in that precipitate pace which is never adopted even at the funeral of the meanest individual. And what was the meaning of all this haste? The unworthy excuse offered by government was, that it was the Queen's own wish to be removed in three days: as if Her Majesty could have wished that her remains should be hurried away in any manner inconsistent with the decorum even of the most common funeral; as if, in fact, she meant any thing more than that she should be removed with all reasonable speed from the land of those persecutors who she felt would not allow her to sleep in the same grave with her beloved daughter. No: the real reason of all this haste was, that every day previous to the funeral was a day lost to the festivities of Dublin, which His Majesty was about to visit, and the moment the body was embarked was to be considered the completion of her obsequies, and the late Queen would then be as though she had never existed!

Dated seventh day of August, 1821. CAROLINE, R. Witness, HENRY U. THOMSON, Kensington. FUNERAL PREPARATIONS. The preparations for lying in state were continued throughout Sunday, and occasioned some inconvenience to the inmates of BrandenburghHouse. Though on a very limited scale, they were not completed on that day, and, consequently, the numbers that proceeded from all parts of the town to witness that solemn and imposing ceremony, returned disappointed. It may be proper here to remark, that the executors and personal friends of Her Majesty, during her lifetime, having been apprized that Her Majesty's remains would certainly be removed for inter ment on Tuesday, applied to Lord Liverpool, to postpone it till Wednesday or Thursday, on the ground that sufficient time would not be allowed to the mourners for preparation. This application was refused by the noble Lord, as was a subsequent one, that the Royal remains should proceed without the military escort. The first meeting for the purpose of making arrangements to attend Her Majesty's funeral took place at Freemason's, Tavern. Mr. Hume, the member of Parliament wasin the chair. He stated, that when Her late Majesty visited St. Paul's, a committee of gentlemen was formed for making arrangements to facilitate the attendance of the many hundreds of horsemen who joined the procession on that occasion. That committee had never been dissolved, although it was little anticipated that they would have so soon to meet on so different an occasion. They would proceed to consider the measures that should be taken, to enable them to testify to the world the last respect to the remains of Her Majesty which they would have an opportunity of paying. There would be few of those who came forward on the occasion before alluded to, who would not be anxious to testify the same respect to her who was now no more, as when alive; and the ulterior object of the meeting would be to make arrangements for such as chose to assemble at Brandenburgh-House, and to accompany the remains through the city, and as far on the road to K |
