POSTSCRIPT.
SAMIDAY.
The Earl of Derby arrived last night from Baltnoral. Deep concern was felt by the Queen at the intelligence from Widmer, and Lord Derby came to town in compliance with her Majesty's wish.
From Baden Baden comes the new Duke of Wellington. He landed yesterday morning at Dover, from Ostend; and the Duchess, it is expected, will shortly follow.
Whether there will be a public funeral, is not officially known. The Morning Herald says that by his will the Duke left the matter in the hands of the Queen; and the Ministerial print infers that therefore a public funeral is certain. At all events, the body will reach Apsley House tonight or on Monday ; and the decision of Ministers, as the Queen'e advisers, will probably be made today.
Already there is a talk of monuments to the memory of the Duke. As. early as Thursday a proposition was started in Liverpool to erect one in that town, and subscriptions have been actually named.
Orders were issued yesterday from the Horse Guards to all the com- manding-officers of regiments in the United Kingdom, to go into full mourning.
