when orders were issued to her Majesty's upholsterers, Messrs, Banting and Son, of St. James-street, Piccadilly, for the necessary arrangements for her Royal Highness's funeral. In accordance with the desire of the late Duchess, the funeral proceedings will be conducted in a comparatively private manner, with the exception of the presence of a detachment of the Life Guards to escort the funeral cortege to the| terminus of the Great Western, Paddington. Nothing beyond the ordinary display observable at the funeral of a private individual will take place. .

Orders were also received on Thursday morning at Windsor for the opening of the royal mousoleum in St. George's | Chapel. e remains of the illustrious.deceased will be, placed by the side of her royal husband.

The bells of the numerous churches in the metropolis tolled during the day, and at the royal churches the bells rang) mufiled peals. The tradesmen at the west end had their shops | partially closed out of respect to the memory of her late | Royal Highness, whose private virtues and many charities endeared her to persons in every rank of life.

DEATH OF MR. JOHN M‘GREGOR, THE ORIGINAL GOVERNOK OF THE BRITISH BANK. —

Mr. John McGregor died at Boulogne, on Thursday se’nnight. He had been for some months past declining in health— oppressed by pecuniary difficulties, and painfully involved in the fall of the Royal British Bank, of which he had been the orginal “ governor.” He had resigned that office three years previous to its recent bankruptcy, but the late disclosures as to the avis:nanagement of the insuiution, and his own considerable aad unsecured debt to the unfortunate shareholders overwhelmed a shattered body and wounded spirit. A bilious fever and a paralytic «fection. we believe, terminated his physical and mental suiferings. Our Consul, Mr. Hamilton, afforded Mr. McGregor every necessary domestic and medical attention, and for the previous week his brother watched over his deathbed. Mr. Johan McGregor was a Scotchinan by birth, parentage, and education. He was born at Stornoway, Rosshire, 1797. We believe that at an early age, enjoying only an ordinary school teaching, he was placed in a mercantile establishment in the Canadas, where he continued several years. During that period, and afterwards when in business on his own account, he visited, and became intimately acquainted with, the colomes of North America on the Atlantic and within the Gulf of St. Lawrence. He was afterwards in business in Liverpool. His mercantile

speculations were there unfortunate, and, indeed, rarely at any | period of his life successful. He figst became known as an_

author by the publication, in 1832, of two octavo volumes, entitled British America. On his enforced retirement from business, his object in life seems to have been some employment m the public service. Accordingly, during Lord Me/bourne’s Ministry, we find him engaged on commercial missions to Germany, Paris, »nd Naples. In 1840 he obtained a permanent piace in the Board of Trade, and became one of the two joint eecretaiies of that impdriant public department. Thus instailed in Whitehall, he lost no time tn agitating for Free Trade. We believe that, with the late James Deacon Hume and George

Richardson Porter, he chiefly induced Mr. Joseph Hame to force upon the House of Commons the appointment of the celebrated Select Committee on the liu.post Duties of the United Kingdom; the report of which, after ouly ten days’ sitting, sealed the fate of our superanuated tariff. ‘Ihe **power to send for persons, papers, and records,” ransacked the Board of Trade and let loose the tongues of the joint secretaries. Mr. McGregor was the first witness summoned. His examination exclusively occupied the entire first two days, and portions-of the third and

fourth days. Vanity was one of the passions which Join |

McGregor, from en unfortunate nature and habit, could not sontro! ; and the abuse of it was, in truth, his worldly ruin. fi made hun often the Jaughing-stock even of his intimate friends, and in later years he perambulated the Clubs, unconscious of the general ridicule of his vaingloriousness. ‘I'bis inordinate sel -valuation involved him in the firm persuasion that from his secondary office in the Board of ‘Trade he should at once vault to a seat in Lord John Russell's new Cabinet He intimated this certain conviction to al! his friends and acquaintances, In thee dream he resigned his office of £1,500 per annum, and having pre-arranged his plans, he became a candidate for the city of Glasgow in July, 1847, opposing the old Liberal mem- bers, Mr. Oswald and Mr. John Dennistoun. Unforiunately for himself, he headed the poll. We need not enlarge on the utter failure of his absurd aspirations, or on the bore and jest of his occasiona! exhibitions in the House of Commons. He did not appear te discover his failure, much less to feel its humiliation; nor, to do him justice, dd he relex in his statistical and intellectual pursaite. In 1848 he had produced two huge crown octavo volumes, historical and statistical, on The Progress of America from the Discovery by Columbus to the Year 1846, comprising 3000 pages. ‘nis work was no sooner off his anvil than he published four large volumes of similar size, entitled Commercial Statistics. ‘Vhese volumes, in bu!k upwards of 4 000 pages, all rapidly appeared between the years 1848 and 1850. In 1852 he published two octavo voinmes, entitled The History of the British Empire from the Accession of James I. Nor were these voluminous works at all the largest product of his active mind. Earlier in life, in the Canadas, he had prepared roports on North American emigration, on the Newfoundland fisneriez, and on similar Transatlantic subjects ; and we have to add to his home productions 22 Reports on Foreign Tariffs and Trade, presented to Parliament by Royal command. ‘Te be added to this summary of his labours are numerous pamphlets on subjects of the day, and an extent of private, political, and statistical correspondence at home and abroad alinost incredible. On the subject of the Royal British Bank, which he established, Mr. McGregor would take nocounsel, or if he promised to abide by any friendly advice, he was sure to relapse to his own opinion of his entire self-sufficiency. The end is but too wel! known. Such is the melancholy history of a man of high intellectual powers, energy and industry, who might have secured for himself wealth, honour, and old age.

. Mecaawic’s Ivstirvre.—On the 28th ult., Silas Barnard, Esq., con- . tinued his subject on ‘‘ Ventilation.” He briefly recapitulate? the leading views contained in his former lectare, and then admirably dilated upon some of the more minute details of his scientific subject, and lucidly explained the component parts of the atmosphere. He then gave some excellent practical directions in the construction of public edifices, and of private buildings, and showed how essential it was for health and comfort that they should be properly ventilated.

He illustrated bis subject by some successful experiments, and evidently evinced that he was thoroughly acquainted with the principles of the etherial science. Mr. Barnard is a self-taught man, and is a workman that needeth not to be ashamed.

William Monk, Esquire, delivered his promised lecture on ‘ The Water we Drink,”’ on Tuesday last, and acquitted himself very well.

I desire that the people may, through their Representatives, exercise the fullest possible control over every department of the Public Service, and that the Government should not for one moment be entrusted to those who do not possess the confidence of the people, as expressed a their Representatives ; and also that the Accounts of every Department should be laid annually before them, that they—the People’s Trustees—may be enabled to jadge whether the Publie Service has been so carried on as best to serve the public interests.

T hold that no Representative of the People should allowed to accept an office of emolument—the Provincial Secretary and Law Officers of the Crown excepted.
