is, that a reconciliation would lake place

we can hardly think this possible. While

FUNERAL PROCESSION OF Till
QUEEN.
The procession moved through crowds
of people, in a solemn manner, as far as
Kensington, it thus appeared that it was
the intention of the conductors, in pursu
ante of the orders of the Government, to
turn the procession to the left, through
the Gravel pits to the Oxford-road. whence
they might proceed by Tybuvn- turnpike
and the i-'dgt ware -road to the end ofllie
New road; but an unexpected übstace
was louoQ to this arrangement. Two wag -
Irons were drawn across the street winch
ud to the Gravel-pits, one of them load
ed. Tin other was a military waggon.—
On the representation of some persons, in
the suite, the military wagon was speedi
ly removed; but this was no sooner done,
than another waggon, which was on the
other side of the Main-street, was thrust
into the gap. .... .
It was ha.f after nine o'clock when tin
cavalcade reached Kensington church,
and would have turned up Glutrdt street,
but for this impediment —an impediment
Which half a dozen constables might with
case ha\e removed. A fellow was seen
to conduct Ins cart with a large load of
dnng most deliberately, and ahoot it down
in the middle of die street. A single con
•table might have taken thia fellow’s horse
by die head, and led i* out of the waj,
while another had arrested the off. ndcr,
•jid taken Inin before a Justice Why the
magistrates of Kensington had rot the-r
constables in attendance we know not It
woo'd have prevented much trot, an I os
♦pp.ured in the sequel, the lues of man v
lives. . .
From ha'f past nine, however till a quar
ter past eUvcn, the funeral remained s‘a
tionary. tin. hearse having stopped direct
ly in front of Cobbett’s noose, widen was
most grotesquely covered with black from
top to bottom.
Ins stated that during this period an
express was sent to the Ear* of Liverpool
fur orders, as if those who bad the & rec
tieti i f lire procession had never laidU.eir
acce n t in meeting ary opposition, and
were utterly at a loss what to do in an e
xnerg-.rwy which they ban never contem
platev. Meanwhile the mob (evidently
unde. - some superior direction) were not
idle. but. proceeded to break up the Gra
vel pin road, at some distance, in the di
rection which the procession was to take.
At this linn, too, the Lx-SheriffParkins
was met galloping w th two other horse
men through the Parle towards town.
Most unfortunately the attempt to pass
down Church.street was abandoned, and
the procession moved towards London.
bs was instantly choired by the
ir.obi sa a victory , and a loud cry was set
up u “ Cuy City •’* \ strong detach- \

No reds,” “ No butchers,” Ac. Ac. The
isldicrs, however, both Blue* and Red-.
bore the whole with most exemplary pa
Hence and steadiness, and seemed only
intent on the quiet and humane discharge
of their duty.
In the confusion, part of the carriages
•vent through Tyburn turnpike, the rest
proceeded rapidly down Cumberland
street, and the whole wore re-united in
Hie New Ro»d, along which they pro
ceeded without opposition, till they had
nearly reached Tottenham-courl-yard,
when they again found their direct pro
gress impeded by a strong barricade of
hackney-coaches and carts overtunredaud
lashed together.
It seems very astonishing that these
repealed barricadoeshad not been antici
pated by sending forward small detach
ments of cavalry to clear the way. How
ever, thia precaution was not adopted,
and a large mob collecting at the place of
stoppage with their former cry, “ City!
City!” Sir Robert Baker, who had all
along proceeded on horseback, with the
civil and military power, seemed to con
sider that enough had oeen done in re
sisting the determination of the populace,
and the point was therefore conceded.—
Accordingly the procession turned down
Toltenham-court-yard, and passed thro’
Broad-street, Drury-lane, and the Strand,
at length entered the city at Temple-bar,
the mob shouting, and crying out, “ Vic
tory ! Victory!”
The procession now made its way, in
moat miserable plight, from the rain and
dirt along Fleet-street, A’t. Paul’s Church
yard, Cheapside, Leadenhall.street, Aid
gate, and Whitechapel. Its arrangement
had by this time become much confused t
but an accurate < bserver has furnished us
with the following detail of its numbers —
At the head were 75 horsemen of the
” Escort Committee” party, then came a
trumpeter, 11 Horse Guards (our inform
ant does not distinguish whether red or
blue), 7 horsemen, 5 horse guards, 4 ,
mutes on horseback, 12 Horse Guards, 2
mourning coaches, 16 mutes on horseback,
8 attendants in scarlet with scarves, and
23 horsemen
About six o’clock we observed among
the many carriages, vehicles of vajious
sorts, and pedestrians, who were return
ing to London, the carriage of Aide, man
Wood.
On the arrival of the Cavalcade I! ford at
(where the bells lolled and the flags were
hoisted half mas! highh, as at all other
places through which the procession pass
ed) at half past six o’clock the number of
persons on horseback accompanying the
precession decreased very much, and was
not augmented by any deputation from
Ilford.—From Ilford to .Romford nothing
occurred worthy of remark, except the
continual desertion of curricles, gigs, Ac.
which had accompanied the procession
from London
he procession after leaving Ilford,
proceeded at a quick pace towards Rom
ford, where it arrived at half past seven
o’clock.
About half a mile from Romford, the
Uavaicade was met b about fifty respec.
table persons, dressed in decent mourning
who preceded it until its arrival at the
While Hurt Inn, where her Majesty’s suit,
and various other Gentlemen, had ordered
dinner.
On our arrival at Romford, we found
not only the exaggerations of w hat had
taken place in London, but the impossi
bility of procuring a bed at any prict.—
For instance, we shall enly state, that im
mediately on our arrival, we were assailed
with inquiries respecting the truth of the
report that 20 were killed and 17 w ounded
in the attempt to bring the corpse of her
Majesty through Oxford-street.
ItaatU «£ t\\£ Q,\iec,u
« i
From the London Traveller, of August 8.
The following particulars of her Majes
ty’s illness have transpired since her death,
and their accuracy; we believe, may be re
lied upon. They serve at once to cxnibit
the state of her mind, and the excellence
of her character: —
When, at the beginning of last week,
her majesty’s illness first assumed a seri
ous character, Dr. Holland requested her
I .emission to semi for another physician,
observing, that whatever might be ins own
mdiv.dua skill and attention, yet the pub
lic would necessarily expect, in the case
of a Queen, that every possible aid should
hi had recourse to. Her majesty answer,
d with a smile to the following effect
•• My dear Doctor, do what you please;
if it will be any relief to your own mind
to call in assistance, do so: .but do not do
i; for my sake ; I have no wish to live, 1
would rather die.” Indeed, from the first
moment that her majesty was assured of
the very serious nature of her indisposi
tion, she clung to the assurance with joy
and gratitude, and listened w ith a reluc
tant ear to the hopes of recovery which
her Physicians and friends held out to her
from time to time. “Why do you wish
me to live ?” she exclaimed on one occa
sion, in the early part of her illness; —
“ life to me cun be nothing but a series
oi sorrows and persecutions; I shall he
much happier in another world than this.”
|t was observed that she desponded too
much ; that public opinion was in her fa
vor, and would make her amends for all
her sufferings. Her majesty asked “what
public opinion had none tor her ?” Il
was answered, that it had defeated mat
late dreadful attempt to ruin her—the Bill
of Pains a.id Penalties. Her reply was
prompt and firm—“ What am 1 the belter
for the failure of that Bill ? If it had pass
ed, 1 should have been degraded; and
what is my situation now ? 1 have, in
deed, the empty title of Queen, but a n 1
Queen of England ? Have I the privileg
es, th. power, the dignities of a Queen of
Eng.and ? No, no; lam a private person
—1 am not a Queen of England.'’
It will be recollected that on Friday
last the symptoms of her majesty’s disor
der had become very alarming, and the
physicians had scarcely any hope of her
recovery. She received the announcement
of her danger with admirable calmness
and composure; and shortly afterwards
proceeded to make her W ill 1 here was
an air of cheerfulness about her after she
had signed it; which induced one of her
professional advisers, (we understand Mr.
; Brougham) to express a hope, that she
' felt herself easier and better. Her ma
jesty answered—Ob, no, my dear Mr.
: Brougham, I know I shad die, and I do not
'|*t all regret it.” Mr. Brougham said, that
i bG wasoi a different opinion, and expect*
ed ter majesty to. recover, fcut added, that
the step she had just taken was perfectly
proper in case of accident. Her majesty
persisted in saying that she knew she was
dying. In the course of the' evening site
took occasion to say—“l do not know
whether I shall suffer bodily pain in dy
ng, but I can assure you that I shall quit
this-world without regret; 1 have no great
eason to be attached to life.*’
On Saturday and Sunday, in spite of
some favorable symptoms which inspired
the physicians with hope, she still ex
pressed her firm conviction that she should
die. She seemed to feel pleasure in talk
ing on the subject, and rejoiced in antici
pating her release from trouble—her es
cape from the malice of her enemies.—
She said, that in this world, whether in
England or abroad, the rancour of her per
secutors would always beset her; and it
was only in another world she could look 1
for peace and justice. She expressed the
deepest regret that she was so little able
to reward those faithful servants who had
stood by her in her difficulties; but ho
ped that government would not let them
want. She declared herself warmly grate
ful ; and hoped her gratitude would be
made known, to that generous portion of
the people of England, whose support of
her hud been most steady when most war.
ted, and who had never been frightened
from her cause either by the power or
the calumny of her oppressors. “En
gland,” said her Majesty, “ has certainly
been to me a land of sorrow and persecu
tion ; but 1 know how to love those faith
ful English who have always sympathised
with my sorrow, and have done all in their
power to defeat the malice of my persecu
tors.” It was on this occasion that she
observed that her enemies had been for
years plotting and conspiring to destroy
her:—“At last,” said she, “they have
destroyed me, but 1 forgive them. I die
in peace with all mankind.” Shortly af
ter, she sent for Mariette Brune, to whom
she declared her perfect forgiveness of
her sister’s (Dumont’s) cruel falsehoods.
who had an opportunity of seeing her
majesty were struck with the glorious
trait in her character, that though h?r
heart was evidently broken with the recol
lection of the deep injuries she had re
ceived, and though an indelibly strong
image of the injustice of her enemies was
always present to her mind, yet she never
used a harsh or angry expression against
any individual: she freely forgave the m
all—spoke of them in terms of pity, and \
even made allowances for thetr conduct ’
on the score of weakness and the frailty j
of human nature.
On Monday night, it will be remember
ed, that the physicians seemed to consi
der her majesty out of all danger; the
was informed of their opinion, but insis
ted that they were mistaken, adding she
felt she w as dying, and thought she should
die before 9 o’clock the next evening. It
is not improbable that her majesty then
felt the symptoms of incipient mortifica
tion. She sent for Mr. Wilde, who was in
attendance, and added a codicil to her
will; we believe it related to the place
of her interment. Her first wish was to
be buried in the same grave with her be
loved daughter, “ but,” added she, “ 1
can have little hope that the government
will grant this wish; I desire, therefore,
to be buried in the same vault with my
father and brother, at Brunswick.” When
her majesty had signed this codicil, slit
began to converse at considerable length
with Mr Wilde
The physicians fearing that conversatio;
might disturb her, wished to withdraw
Mr Wilde from the room, and that
tie man, from the same motive, was anxious
to go, but her majesty begged him tosta.,.
“ 1 thank my Physicians,’ she said, “ to,
their kind intentions, they mean notin'.g
but what is right, but they do not untie;
stand my characters they think that ;
agitates me to talk of death, they are mis
taken—to me, who have little pleasure in
the past, and no prospect of future tran
quillity in this life, it is a pleasure to cou
template my approaching death, and why
may 1 not speak what 1 feel ?” All these
observations were made with such sweet
ness of manner, and such calmness of tone,
as to make an impression never to be ef
faced from the minds of those who were
present. The mgiit between Monday ami
Tuesday who passed without sleep, owing,
it is believed, to that restless anxiety
which usually accompanies the process of
mortification.
On Tuesday afternoon about one, she
again conversed on her usual topics. Al
luding to the few friends who remained
constant to her to the last, and for whom
she expressed the most grateful regard,
sbe look occasion to observe, that her ad
versaries had put in practice two modes
of separating worthy people from her so
ciety; one was to deter them from visi
ting her by propagating the most atroci
ous calumnies against her and them ; the
second was, when they saw tier surroun
ded by persons of honor, to endeavor by
anonymous tetters, and all means in their
power to poison her mind against them, in
order to induce her to break with them,
a Against lh.. first mode of attack,” said
her majesty, “i could have no help . the
second plan 1 soon detected, and therefore
defeated.” She then alluded to the prac
tice of opening the body after death, and
said that she saw no occasion for the ope
ration in her case, and wished it not to be
done She then begged that she might
not be made a show of after death.—
“ There has been,” she observed smiling
ly, “quite enough of that in my lifetime;
besides, there are persons who kept aloof
from me when alive, who may have no ob
jection to see me when dead, and there is
no good reason for satisfying their curiosi
ty.” She then again adverted with great
regret to her inability to bestow adequate
compensation on her servants, or remem
brances on her friends ; but said, their
services and kindness were deeply written
on her heart. Mr. Wilde then left her tor
some time.
It is understood that Dr. Lushington ami
Mr. Wilde attended Lord Liverpool on
Wednesday morning for the purpose of
show ing the Will, and taking instructions
as to the funeral of her majesty All that
has transpirea is, that his Lordship said
he should give oiders to prepare a squa
dron to convey her majesty’s body to
Brunswick, according to the request in
ker Will. .
The Queen has, by her will, left the
principal part of her property to her pro
tege, William Austin, and directs that her
body shall not he opened.

I Bank of Missouri. —K is confirmed, not
only that the Bank of Missouri has slop
ped payment, but that it litis done so un
der circumstances which forbid the possi
oiiity of its ever opening its dhors again.
Having heretofore been induced, by the
annual reports made by the D:rcction of
this Bank, to speak of it in favourable con
trast with other Banks, we feel it to be
our duty to say, that the Expose of its Om.
dltion, on closing its doors, is most Unfa
vorablc, either to the more recent manage
mentf* * it, or to the cotrectness of the
statetWTnt wtiich it has formerly publish
ed. In a preceding column will be found
the report of a committee appointed to
examine the state of this inst itution ; from
winch it appears that the capital actually
paid in (of the nominal capital 0f£210,-
000) was only g 25,665, on which sum
Dills and notes were discounted, and now
remain due, to the amount of £242,728!
The amout of notes in circulation and of
individual deposites is about £127,000,
and it is sufficiently evident, that all the
means of the bank will be insufficiently
to pay tiiis amount. So that, upon every
rational calculation, the Ur (ted States’ Je
posite o* £152,407 will be totally Lst !
( he Bank of Missouri was selected as the
satesl bank in that country for the United
Slates deposits, because it appeared ou
paper to be in flourishing and sound con
dition. It requires explanation, how ils
condition has been changed, or why it was
misrepresented.
One most extraordinary fact disclosed is,
that the present directors of the Baukaie
directly and indirectly indebted \o the
Bank £285,869, being £75.869 more
.tuan the amount of its nominal capital,—
Nothing, we apprehend, in sil the mad

equalled this. *
