The late Duke of Cumberland was on the day of his decease, according to royal etiquette, consigned to the care of the King's surgeon. The usual ceremony of embalming, &c. has since been performed, when the royal corpse was committed to its destined mansion, bedecked in the high style of royalty. Every limb, and every finger, respectively, lies bound in lawn, and covered with white satin-the body and the face, in like manner, bound round with the same materials. The neck, wrists, knees, and feet, are elegantly ornamented with purple bows. The coffin lined with white satin, richly ornamented, was immediately closed up for interment.
