The dining hull, and anti or coffee room, had been previously covered with black cloth on the sides, etiling and floors, said the canopy was tastefully fes..- tamed. At the head &Cali.; coffin was affixed to the cloth a silk hatahmunt, wit e late Queen's Arias. An • :an is t a pall was placed or . coffin, except a mean of the foot , whipls, ivied uncovered for the Mihri4 visa.. On each side of the coffin were placed tour silk eicute.beans with the royal ar-as. Near the keeftekhe coffin, on thetop, was placed a Crown on a *na t ion. The coffin was enclosed with a large square space, for the rovul attendants to be stationed, and not to be - interrupted by the Public, who were to be ad- I milted. On each, side of the coffin were three round pillars, covered with black, of the height of the coffin when on the trcseels. On each of these were placed remarkably large wax candles, in proportionate sized candlesticks. Round the sides of the na n o were '44 wax candles, in white branches. The anti or coffee-room was fitted up in a similar manner. The carriage entrance to the Palace was new gravelled, and a considerable distance roiled the outside of the vets was enclosed with posts anti ropes, awl a narrow path separated by sitnilar means far the departure Af the company. The livery setoißis appeared in mourning. About nine o'clock a guard of honour, the whole in white gaiters,' marchcd to the Palace, the Officers with crape wadi' and sashes, and crape round their hats and clips ; the i top of the colours was covered with crape, and the i drums with black cloth, except those on actual duty ; 1 their arms were piled on the lawn, in the front of the Palace, and the colours loweek(l. Townsend and Sayers the Bow-street Officers, and Perry the Constable, with a party of the I'atrole, were in attendance to keep order, &c. Mr. Mash, of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, who had the arranging every department of the cere monial and procession, was in attendance to direct the opening of the ro.na for the reception of those who were admitted to the soleum scene; und every thing passed off with 'tile most perfect decorum and awful silence. The company began to arrive about 10 o'clock, and were admitted into the temporary enclosure, and ..cased on to the Palace yard, where theme were a number of men distributed in different parts, in black cloaks, black cloth caps, and staves, where the , ickets were shewn to some Gentlemen of the Lord Chamberlain's Office.— On the outside of the Palace dour were six M .rsha;men, in their full uniform, with black silk scarfs and sashes, crape sword knots, crape roe ad the right arts, and black silk hat-bands. At the entrance of the Palace were Mr. Gardner and Mr. S:( ymour, the Grooms of the Bed chamber, in black scarfs and hat bands, to receive the tickets. The compete/ then passed through a short passage to the hall where the remains were deposited, when the wax candles above described were lighted, which gave the whole the meat awful, grand, and majes tic appearance possibly to be conceived. The Dowager Countess of Harcourt, ole of tin Lades I.f the Bed ehamber to the late Queen, appeared as Chief Mourner, in which she we.: relieved by the Countess of Ilcitester, another of the Ladies of the Bedchamber; they wet e losiStVd by Gore and Vincent, Ee l a.

REVIEW' OF LITERATURE. THE PitillikißLETEEß. The Twenty-Fifth Number of the Pamphleteer having nppeareel, we mho)); as useal, lay before our readers a briefanalyei., orits contents :- - The first article ie. a Letter from Mr. Brougham to the late lamented Sir -Samuel Rotuilly, upon the Abuse of Charities ; the merits of which, it having already gone through nine edition. it is needless for us to ilseell upon, though we rejoice to sec it given to the Public in every possible *ape, before the hi:portant subject on which it treats is again submitted to the consideration of Parliament. To this letter may be added, us illustrative of the same subject, a letter to Henry Brougham, Esq. which is the last article in the present number, from a Master of Arts, of Queen's College, Oxford, upon the hest method of restoring Decayed Grammar Schools. This is an original pro duction, now for the fitst time ma le public, though the intiirmstian which it contains was collected before the publication of Mr. Brougham's letter to Sir Samuel Romiliy, is come quenee•of the laudable exertions made by the Author himself, 'toWards restoring the rights of an ancient Grammar School iu the South of England. Among other excellent remarks which are brought for ward, we particularly admire the author's anxiety to do away the attempt which has been made to construe the receipt of parochial relief into an incapacitation from receiving gratuitous education. Must justly does he ul enve, trial it would indeed " be impolitic to deny to a degraded poptilation, the means of rescuing a next generation from the saute lot." , The next subject of importance in this number is a pamphlet on the Animal South America ; by a Mr. Buckeeidge, son of the late American Judge of that Lame, and Secretary to the Commission recently ap pointed by the America* Government, to South Ame rica. The writer is a warns advocate Ile the 'emanci pation of the Patriots, and whin it is considered what great advantages the com • Mere° of England mw derive than their fixing 'heir imitogalasue taaasuretiosis, we plc:inane much less eloquence and three of reasoning than he has displayed would suffice to bring the bulk of our readers ever to hinepinians. Connected in a great measure with the same subject, possessing equal claim on mar sympathy and respect, are the " Political Remarks ' of de Vastey, Pre minor to the Prince Royal of Hayti, " on some French V.'erks and Newspapers, concerning that Kingdom," which have been translated exclusively fur the Pamph leteer, and will be fuund calculated to awaken a lively interest for the people whose cause they advocate with equal energy of feel %rand strength of argument. " Roman Cathelie Principles in reference to God and the King, by the Bev. Jolts Kiri," is another article in this number, well descrvittg of commendation, us cal culated to do away the ithjust reproaches which are more disgraceful to the panics who leek,: theca, than to those against whoni their are levelled. It is a re publication from the original edition of I 680, and is one of the numerous instances of judicious selection by which the work b,:fore us is distinguished. tiate, of the wise and salutary regulations which he hors made in the Parish of Eletching, immediately under his own eye. Not only his time, but his money also, bi , s been expended in tilt , real scrvice of the pour—not in mere idl e altus_;i►ing, but in solid works for their ael vantage, and we think no one will rise from the peru sal of itis " Ohs?rvations," without feeling that as a politician and a benefactor he is equally entitled to the gratitude of all ranks of people. Another veteran in the cause of Public Good, is the Right Hon. Sir John Sinclair, wha has giveu in this 11111111)er a Collection of Papers on different subjects, viz. `• flints regarding the Policy of establishing a Colony on a great scale at the Cape of Good Hope, and the advantages to be derived therefrom." " Hints regard ing the renewal of the Charter of the East India Com uany." A Letter "To the Committee of Merchants interested in the Warehousing or Bonding System," and another " l'o the Proprie:ors of the I'uhlic Funds in general, and of a llank Stock in particular." The only article that remains to be mentioned in this number is Mr. Cooke's " Thoughts on the Expediency of Repealing tile Usury Laws ;" a subject which has of late greatly engaged the attention of the public, and to which it is inttch to be hoped the consideration of the Legidature will be seriously turned, as it is one of the greatest important:et° our commercial interests--it is well handled by Mr. Cooke, who takes the same view of it which has bee'n given by Mr. Bentham, and some other of our hest writers on Matters of Political Eco nomy. The Barbadoes papers inform us, that some strong legislative provisions have been made throughout our islands, against the practice of that species of negro witchcraft which is fiiiniliarly termed " putting Obi • upon its victims." The superstition in question is fraught with the most serious evils ; it is the oommon link of every foul conspiracy, and has been made the instrument of the moot atrocious and dreadful crian•s. The penalty of death has, therethre, brim enaitpil ' against those who profess and practise theOboth system, us the only means of checking its enormities, until the slow progress of education and religion shall .su persede, in the yet untaught minds of the uegroes, the now salutary terrors of' legal punishment. The advises in these Papers from Ceylon are to the 28th of June. Though tranquillity laud not been re. stored at that period, the In::urgents ere stated to have met with several checks. Gelwral Brownrigg had so fi►r recovered from an illness of four months' continua tion, as to be able to go out in his palanquin. Captain Fruti.r and four privates were drowned in the river, near Candy, on the 11th of Jnom Accounts are said to have reach►d Calcutta from China, of a partial fitiftire of the tea corn. A Washington Paper, of the ‘6lll of October, says —" •l'he Convention of the State of Illinois, in form ing their Constitution, have declared that no person shall be imprisoned for debt, unless upon the refusal to deliver up his estate for the benefit of his creditors, in such mauner c►s shall be prescribed by law, or in cases where there is strong presumption clfraud; Thus the youngest sister of the tinnily has attempted what others . hare. recoil, r 1 from, in respect to their relations of deb. tor and creditor; as the next youngest (Mississippi) has done in regard to usury. If these experiments su ceed, it is to be boptll that the nations of the Contisle.. ration will not be too proud to tUllow the examples thus set." To this article succeeds nue of ii very different com plexion, entitled, ' Modern 'headier., and Present state of .‘e:lteitte.
