The preparations at Chelsea for the reception of the remains
of the Great Duke are to be completed by the 10th instant ; when the body will be brought up from Walmer by special train, and escorted from the station by cavalry. On the 11th, the veterans at Chelsea will be admitted to look upon the bier of the hero ; and the reports of the press will have the same privilege. The lying in state will commence, therefore, next Friday—for those who have tickets ; the public will be admitted on the Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday following. From Chelsea, on the 17th, the body will be carried to the Horse Guards, and thence next day to St. Paul's.
