The great funeral of the great duke was mecum phsh duds day, in all the solemn splendour for which the nation had prepared itself, and fortunately (so far as we yet how) amid circumstances uninterruptedly favourable. T4e weather was nearly ell that could be desired ; for, I thouen iiteissant rain had Seen pouring down all night and far into the morning. • gratifying change took place to ward. six o'clock ; • gradual clearing up continued to gieht ; and from half-pas eight the sun began to shine out with a cat traces rate in I. November days of London, and in fart during the passage of the mournful pageant from th.' Horse Ouards to the Cathedral there was an em phatic fine day ! " Net or tine, the people had deeermined to see the funeral ; and the) did sue it, and, thank' to good arrangement, saw it well. All mot London was up and stirring, to crowd itself iota the single line of street which nine from Constitution hill to Ludgate-hill, by five o'clock in the morning ; and from hoe to eirht (two of these hours being intense dark, drinaling night), the metropolis was as busy, bustling, and Stirling as in full daylicht. Carriages whirled ceaselessly from every quarter and from every suburb, towards St. ; as I the wonderful number of hackney and private vehicles pat in motion this morning in the capital may be best connvehendod by coneideration of the fact that about t. n thousand people were pat down at Bt. Paul's itself, and that a coasiderable proportion of those who had bred windows and seats along the line rode, and did not walk to their places. A. to the podeatrians—the people—who were there, at all hazards to life and limb, sertaiuly enjoying • show, but certainly also preemie Ia the punting tharacti re of unaffected mounters for • satiatel loss, sod who were at least entitled to participation in the grand ceremony, if only on the ground that they were pa tiently giving up a day, and i's profits, eat of the week-- they were out and in their unassorted plates as soon as the polioe; and it would, indeed, appear m if %Massada had bun in tie streets all night, resolute on not being toe late. By eight, Piccadilly, St. James's.street, Pall-mall, the B'eaud, Et .et-street, and Ludgate hill, were lined, cia each side of the well kept hairier,, with compact mimes of hu.nan being., men and women; but the crowd, enormous Si it woo, was still hardly what it had been 'spotted and calculated upon.and it is at :east certain that tiers was sem of the crushing, endangering life, which had been outirovisly predicted. Undoubtedly, there was none of that confusion which, without the most complete and CIII let provision would attend the congregation of such multitudes ; and for the excellent order tont was kept we ass indotred largely, no doubt, to the tact and foresight of the pular.; but also as largely to the good bemoan and vim, spirit of the people themselves. The harriers heist things atraiitht; sad the result was that ties sompants of the exp. 1.1.1T8 seats and window4bad little or ma minus tune, ao ter as the men seeing week over the lembise mil lions whit crowded the footways smith* plasm. la sketching the pageant and the taafdsam of the day, we will take the marvellous passim& la *Ms and give the scenes is detail. THE FORMATION OF THE FROM THE HORSE OUARDL The preesse..es; was formed emir e•s — ssesece - d at the parade glean , ' of the Horse Guards. litre the body of the iliac tri eas detested bad been conveyed from the Chelsea Heisestal late the previous night ; and here, late ales that night, and tinished at the Het moment, the (prime, funeral ear had been brought. Hera the troops, horse and feet, in all the pump of military obsequies, were searched and formed. Here all the pewee who took part in the funeral as mourners hurried, fleet taking their seats in th- meaning coaches. And the parade ground was con sequently a centre of great interert, and beats and standing 701), et the windows, on the plattorm, and on the roof of the lione-guards, were almost as much objects of competi• tion as toe eaten tickets to St. Paul's. Several thousand pereone witervree from this and the neighbouring goe,ensnent buildings the formation and wart of the pew...ion—as it were the listens:tees of the stage; and as the view commanded the whole of the park round by the Turk column, to the Buckingham Palace, not only were the small rehearsals sashed at leisure, but tho well contrived array was enjoyed as a whole, in all its thoroegh grandeur. The Programme (which we append) states the elements of which the procession was composed; and we need not des-r3be the slow elahorasien of order out of the confusion which of wine prevailed, a .4aadren after rqu elren—reganent after reeiment—yetne op, as carriages crowdt d on carriages, and as mourner atter mourner rev h, d the ground. It outlIc• to my that the Duke of & C.mbridge, who (with the Prince of se Weimar, Lord W. semi, te, Lord el. Paget, and Lieutenant-Colonel Tyr- Wee a. aid.. de-camps commanded the troops, kept gene tint- ; 'het the marshals and heralds made few mistakes ; and that t to superintendents of police, who were headed by Sir Itiehard Mayne, were laudable energetic. I e first nnler to mirth "to the Ride Brig de, who (in d pendent of the advanced guard of a m sadres of Life Guards, led the ere twine, was given punctually at eight, the ap point-el nour, and at a quarter to ten the last squadron of w s lose d the procession, had cleared the parade gr med. Considering Vie length of the procession this must be r. karst"! at a great success. The firing ot seventeen ote of artillery was the signal for the start.

At about half• past four deteelmeents of the different regiments which were to attend as IllegleSMllleli from the army numbed in and made their way awards the Horse•Ourrds. Shortly after• mods the Bile Brigade, the Scots Greys, followed ,idly by Ike KM Fug, the Ith Dragoon Cu rI. (Carabi 1101111100M__ . 1101111111. and the Mow thumb; (Mae), passed dims.

Immediately after, arger of the late Duke, led by two grooms, and two of his Oreoe's private tentage', pawed along, and were isismed by vernal of the royel carriages, containing as we undemestal, several foreign princes to her Majesty, and which whirled rapidly Inc. At a few minutes before eight, minute gene, to the number of 17, were her d at the Wel lington Barracks. Standing at the angle of Buckingham Palace, and without looking down the Mall or St. James'', park, no one would hat e bei It aware that the procession was in motion, but about a quarter past eight, the dreary, mea sured tread of trained nun was heard, and a detachment of Life Guards wheeled emend into the large open space which forms the beginning of Constitution-hill, and imme diately the dark mae.es of the Rifle Brigade came into view ' their sombre a ppearance rendering them meet ap propriate Isarbiugers of a funeral procewiun. Until thin corps reached Buckingham-palace we heard no music, but at thet moment their band opened the first plaintive notes of the dead march, which they played in a subdued tune, which epeeared to us in excellent taut,', but which was not gel.. r.il4 adopted by the other beads, for with the exeeptien perhaps of the 33rd sod the Artillery they all seemed to be too loud, and in one instance the son inn sir in question was made to sound almost lively. The Marines and 33rd suc ceeded, and to the niece Landuntrs' eyes, who are accus tomed to the uniform appearance of tho Foot Guards, the white uniforms and den ping plumes of the bands, and the greater lightness of their equipment+, mast lease formed an agreeable variety. The Infantry column was eased by the 3 battalions of the Foot Guards At the moment that the he.tti of the procession reached Buckingham palace, her Majesty, accompanied by the royal children, and, as we were informed, the youthful Belgian princes, appeared in the balcony, and remained until the pageant had pawed. The held batteries of the Royal Artillery, headed by the band of the regiment, having swept by in lemming array. were immediately blICCPCdeti by the gay and glittering talks or the 17th Lancers. Up to that moment the muruing had been gloomy and over cast, threatening rain; but just then the seem broke out with unusual splendour for • mere Novemlier day, adding consul. 'ably to the picturesqueness of the pro c ....i.in, and no doubt adding conssiderably to the 'rase tion of the assembled spectators. The rest of the cavalry followed,each arm of that titmice being represented, namely, Bassani, Light Drageen.., Dragoons, Dragoon Guards, and Life Guards, the Scots Greys (2nd Dragoons), attracting particular attention, and that pert of the military display was closed by two troupe of Horse Artillery. The carriage paths of the procession, in the order pubiished in the pr.. , someeded, and were joined by Prince Albert. at 11= Ilims.palecat ' as who took his allotted place the train oreompanied by three of the royal cerii les, drawn by Nis heroes. Immediately errs r this the Duke of Cambridge tteetrapidly along the line, ordering the processiou to i was soot ascertained that there was something wrong about the ear; and, as at that time there was so appertain of it along the whole length of the mad, some approlserisa was expressed that it had broken down. The let canisge in the rank at that moment was one in which NM Lett Hardinge, herd Gough, and two other General Meets. Lord liazdinge got out and went into the Court yard of Buckingham Pc Lem. Go his return, while waiting at the carriage -door, Lord Cardigan galloped up and told him that the car, had stack fast f r a short time, and that the hones were somewhat restive, but that it was thee weeviug on; the noble Lord then went into the Palace for • siert tines.

All along the route, and even along Pall•mall and the Strand, the utmost order and decorum prevailed; sad as far as was apparent the crowd was as comfortably d i sposed of as was posohle, and at no point did we washout. any confusion or disorder. PICCADILLY, ST. JAMES'S-STRERs MALL. As nearly all the houses along this part of the route a. forabbed with balconies ; these were extensively used for dee onamoodation of visitors. Every window was filled, and the Yoh of many houses were crowded with adventurous upset:item At Devonshire-house • portion of the court-yard, was covered with seats, which were densely crowded. In the etnets °peeing into Piccadilly, as well es in the main Use, the windows were filled with spectators.

Is It. Ininee'restreirt, the fit. James • Club and the Conservative Club gosh seams related • large number of visitors. In front of St. James's Palace a troop of then Dampen Guuds was stationed. The entrance to Mulbegmelobsene was covered with a spacious gallery, which was setup eel by WO or 1./0 persons. The draperies of the Oxford and Cat bride clubhouse were of • very tasteful description, those in front of the second balcony being elegantly fee. mooed, and cahibitiag, in four places the letter W " on • white ground. • The Reform Club had one very lame and spacious gallery, which was chiefly occupied by lathes. The upper windows were filled with members of the dab and their friends. At the Atheneum there Wen three tiers of galleries, draped with black. A troop of the 4th e s ragoons was stationed in Waterloo-place. The spacious balconies around her Majesty's Theatre afforded accommodation to • large number of visitors. The head of the precession entered rst. James's-street precisely at • quarter after nine. The Car reached the same point at half past ten; and the troop" which closed the proonsion, at • quarter before eleven. Throughout the whole of this part of the route the grand was kept hg the police ; but their duties wt re comparatively light, as owing to the rpaciens nature of' the thoroughfare and the great t stunt over which the procession moved, there was nothing like inconvenient crowding until after the procession had passed, when the attempt. of the , crowd, to move in di ff erent directions, and the efforts of the ' notice to prevent them following the procession created a temporary stoppage of the circulation. As far as we could learn nothing in the shape of an accident occurred in this i art of the route. ARRIVAL AT ST. PAUL'S. TRH COMING DIVISION. TO TUT =ITO& 01 TOT DAILY NSW,. Sta.—The late parliament was dissolved partly because the mioisten admitted that they were in a minority in it, but principally, sa they said, in order that the country might decide whether it gave the preference to the principle of protection or the principle of free trade as the foundation of its commercial policy. The new parliament has assembled, and the Speech from the Throne he. alluded to this subject In the following terms: It gives me pleasure to be enabled by the blessing of Providence to congratulate you on the generally improved condition of the country, and especially of the industriou. cruses. If you should be of opinion that recent legislation contributing, with other causes, to this happy result, has at the same time inflicted unavoidable injury on attain impotent interests, I recommend you dispassionately to consider how fa• it may be practicable equitably to miti gat• that injury and to enable the industry of the country to meet successfully that unrestricted competition to which parliament, in its wisdom, has decided that it should be suljected." • • This passage, the only reference to the eubject contained in the Speech, was considered by the supporters of the free trade principle to be so ambiguous and hypothetical that they decided that, though no amendment should bo moved to the echo of the ambiguity and the hypothesis, the first opportunity should be taken to invite parliament to accom plish the principal object fur which it had been elected, and so early called together, by declaring to which of the rival principles of protection or free trade it was prepared to adhere. The Chancellor of the Exchequer objected to that course, and suggested that he should be allowed to propose certain practical measures, from which the principle on which they were founded would be apparent, previously to any declaration by parliament of the principle on which any measures should be founded to obtain its concurrence ; and he accompanied hi. suggestion by declaring that the passage in the speech wu meant to convey an adoption of the free trade principle. In the Ho= of Lords, at the some time, the Prime Mi ni►ter declare I, with regard to the policy of free trade, that "after the opinion pronounced by the country, he was pre pared to bow to its decision, and while desirous as far as possible to mitigate the injury inflicted by that policy, to adopt it and to carry it out frankly and loyally." It is under such circumstances that it has been suggested by some—and publicly by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that it would be unfair, and by others that it would he im politic to ask the Roue of Commons to declare by resolution un the 23rd of this month what is the principle it will adopt as the foundation of its commercial policy. The suggest= of unfairness say, "We have adopted free trade in the Queen's t peech, and you interpose an obstacle to prevent our propounding the measures we recommend con. quent upon that adoption." Our answer is, "The Remo Secretary says that the passage in the Queen's speech adopted nothing; but was intentionally teamed with ambiguity to secure unanimity and prevent an amend art." "The Prime Minister" say the suggeston of un. flamers, "has in his speech adopted free trade, and, with the reservation only of a desire to mitigate its injuries, has promised frankly and loyally to carry it out." Our answer is, " We are somewhat startled by the reservation, but independently of it, we remember that this same Prime Minister more than frankly and loyally promised to carry out protection—that as he has betrayed the cause which he thought right, he may possibly betray the cause which he thinks a nog." " They are bound by their speeches," say the objectors. "It is then for the first time," we an• ewer ; " bat granted it be so, we, the trustee' of free trade, pefer the security of the collective votes of the House of Commons to the individual speeches of ministers, how great aoever their reputation for zealous sincerity or chivalraus honour." " Your object," they reply, "is not the security of free trade, but to unite the opposition in a factious party attack, for the purpose of turning out the ministers, and taking their places." We answer, "If ministen have, u you nay, sincerely ad +pied free trade, thee need be no difference and ne division, but they will in that cue second the resolution which will be proposed to them, and afterwards bring forward their om ens, which will be considered practically on their own merits." &much for the objection of unfairness or faction as de noted by Mr. Villiers's proposed resolution. The objection of bad policy does not seem to us more difficult to deal with. We think all experience proves that the maxim that" honesty is the best policy" holds good in political nets a it does in the transactions of private life ; and if it is admitted that the course to be taken by Mr. Villiers, with the assent and approbation of every considerate man, to whatever section of the opposition belonging, who took part in the debate of Thursday, is direct, intelligible, and brought forward with singleness of purpose to accomplish the principal object fur which it is admitted that parliament has been elected and now called together—and we think that in our answer to the suggestions of unfairness we have proved that it is so—then we maintain that that course is the must politic, as well as the fairest that can be taken. It has been said that ministers will meet the resolution by moving the previous question. Be it so. The country will then know who they are who, whether Whigs, Radicals, Pulite', or Derbyites, professed themselves to be free traders at their elections, and refused to vote an affirmation of the principle of free trade when it was proposed to them on the pretence that the time for this affirmation was an. suitable. It hu been added that it would be almost equally mischievous if the free-traders were suc cessful, for that then the ministers would resign, and that the country would be left without a government to take their places. These are the staple arguments at all times used against the direct policy of speaking out. At this time they are singularly misplaced. It may be true that the free trade opposition is not so united on other political questions as to ensure the tom bioed employment of the best materials it contains for the formation of a new administration, but it may safely be as serted, that wore the awful calamity of a resignation of the present ministry prematurely to occur, the free trade oppo sition contains within its ranks materials for at least three administrations, equal in experience, sod superior in ability and respectability of character, to the present. 7, AND PALL- resting along the Strand, Fleet-street, and Ludgate bill, the head of the procession un i ted at St. Paul's shortly before twelve o'clock. The ceremony of loweriag the co ffi n into the tomb took place at three o'c lock. The scene was one of unusual grandeur and Impreasivenees. Prince Albert was among the distinguished mournen present. THE TOWER OF LONDON. This morning, at an early hour, the bell of the ancient church iu the Tower of London was tolling, tad the Union Jack was placed half mast high on the flag-staff on the summit of the battlements. The gates of the garrison were closed, and the enrolled pensioners were on duty, with their gluts revers, d. The whole of the shops were closed in the Tower Libe •ty, and the eastern parts of the metropolis. Minn e guns were also fired from the Tower after the arrival of the body at the cathedral.

The numerous proposals for antalga. I: motions in other quarters render it probable that a select s committee may be appointed at an clamp period of the see chin to consider the general principles on which this impor- 1 , taut question should be dealt with by parliament, and it et., appears not unreasonable to expect that such a committee K. might arrive at conclusions similar to those of Lord Si. Dalhousie's reports. Should this be the ease, we may 1 1 44 7 nape to no a rational system of railway legislation established, by which railway companies, within car- oi rain defined districts, where unity of management and ye harmonious working appear on public grounds to be de- 10 bitable, will be allowed to amalgamate, on submitting to such equitable restraints and conditions as may be deemed 40 necessary for securing public interests. In the event of L l ' such a policy being established, no union would appear as more natural or more beneficial than that of the London 88 . and South Western, and the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway Companies, as both companies may be comb- 10 doted in the same position of having each completed its general system, end being henceforth occupied exclusively with the SO cultivation of the resources of its own districts. Their future ill prosperity must depend on the same "purees of prudent eco- 10 nomy in management, combined with the development of *t• traffic by increasing public accommodation. In the latter view it is highly important that the terminal accommoda- 1 •11 tion in London, which has been acquired at such a vast expense by each company, should be rude freely available tel for the traffic of eitter. The rapid increase of the sub- NI urban traffic, as well as that of Brighton, Southampton, and other places on the two lines, combined with the crowded ul state of the principal bridges mid thoroughfares, renders it highly desirable that reciprocal access should be afforded 84 - both to a City and a West-end terminus; and it is obvious s e that a union of interests, by which the London•bridge, the Waterloo, and the Vauxhall stations were made equally IL available fur passenger traffic, and the Nine Elms, the SS Bricklayers' Arms, and the Deptford stations for goods u treffie, would not only give great additional security to the property of both companies, but would also afford great at public accommodation, and lead to a large development of traffic, otherwise unattakuble. Some economy might also 8 0 !, be expected to result from a consolidation of manage ment, but the principal advantage to which the directors 14 look forward is that of developing traffic, by affording er the public superior facilities, and, so far from considering amalgamation u a means of enabling them to raise 100 fare., reduce trains, or other wise seek a short-sighted profit s et the epics' of the public, they are fully satisfied that a . their interests, if right y understood, are identical with those of the community, and that no measure can be per- I ,e eminently beneficial to Vie property of railway companies which is not also beneficial to th se who have occasion to . 1 ; 4 . use their lines. These could. rations have been forcibly ' impressed on the directors by the necessity which has so arisen of dealing with the various suburban lines pro jt cted to connect the Brighton and South Western Rail is - ways. The prospect of an enormous traffic to the New ". Crystal Palace, and the d• mend of the local districts for accommodation, make it probable that some of these lines would before long receive the sanction of parliament ; and it is difli ult to see, in that event, how the traffic c o uld be St. worked over portions of different mamas without provok ing *Albion' of interest and occasioning confusion. Is On the other hand, a complete union of iuterests would wears the attainment of these objects in the most e ffi cient • mod oosesosiosi manner, and woo d relieve the proprietors if soli dos public for the future from all risk of those evils 6 bays been occasioned in other districts by reckless nuleepetition, end by the useless outlay of capital. The u .be,. is a short outline of the principal reasons which have led the directors of both companies to the unanimous con ' elusion that an amalgamation might, under conceivable air trismetaaces, become desirable. They wish it to be under- Used that they are as yet by no means committed to the Adak, or even to the principle of such a measure, until the poliey of parliament has been more distinctly ascertained ; but they think it sufficiently probable that the idea of amalgamation may be seriously entertained, to make it advisable to insert the necessary notices for a bill to 11 - empower the proprietors to tot in the matter it they see fit, without the long delay that must ensue if the applies- e tion were deterred until the session of 15.54.—8 y order of 04 the Board of Directors, FREDSIIICL BLIOIrr, Secretary.— Lq London Terminus, Nov. 16,1852. IA -- i SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE AMEND- lse MEET OF THE LAW. 11 Yesterday, pursuant to adjournment from the previous day, the Society re-essembled, preparatory to 31 2 1 I attending the Premier on the subject for which the Con- 2 femme hid been convened. The meeting was fully fit. attended, and is the absence of the President, the Earl of to li•RetoWBT took the oheir. sa Mr. ROLLAND (Liverpool), after a lengthy epTsh, moved if as a resolution the adoption of the following : That it is the opinion of this meeting that the first and moat impel.- t o tent objects to be sought for in the course of mercantile law reform, should be the institution of local tribunals, with le full legal and equitable jurisdiction for the adjudieatien et ell mercantile disputes, and in general accordance with the a. conclusions contained in the Report on Mercantile Law itt form, and the establishment of tribunals of commerce M adopted and published by the Liverpool Chamber at Cos. Wet. _ . Me. MEATH seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr. Mitchell, of Edinburgh, by Mr. Lyne, and Mr. C. Wehater. Mr. Lawn Lave also supported the proposition, and read a letter which he bad received from Mr. James Ken nedy, of Belfast, expressive of his sympathy with the objects of the institution, and of his regret that ho was unable to he present. Mr. Asnwsut opposed the proposition, relying on bis ex perience that so far as cotton purchases were concerned, they rested upon oira roes transactions, and bad seldom been the cause of litigation. • After a discussion in which Mr. Lowndcs, of Liverpool, Mr. Rand, of Bradford, and several other gentlemen took Part, The noble CH•IIIMAK suggested that a resolution should be framed and adopted which would meet with the appro ' hatien of the conference. Ile thought it most desirable to adhere to the specific objects fur which they were assess ' bled, and with that view he would suggest the fullowine se the resolution now to be adopt. d. The resolution woe lathes' terms That it is expedient to make provision for the speedy despatch of suits arising out of commercial trainee ' tiona, and that the important subject of local courts with compulsory powers, and a lull legal and equitable juriadie ti,,n, is worthy of the consideration of the Law Amendment Society," Mr. lIOLLAND acquiesced in the proposition made from the choir, and on its proposal to the meeting it received an u•tsnituous adoption. A veto of thanks to the Earl of liarroveby preceded the visit of the deputation to the Earl of Derby. Though our ' ingress was forbidden by the janitor who holds the keys opening to official presence, we learn that the objects of the e•oof. nun and the resolutions which hod been adopted were pr. st•nted to the l'retnier, and th,it the noble lord pro• mi•e.l to give the subject Isis m lions and deliberate ciesider ition. At the 'lmo time he would not undertake to pleilee his colleagues as to the course which they might deem it advisatils to take. The deputation than withdrew. I i': It 5 1 ..

The government broker made another investment in Consols, on account of the Sinking Fund. The greater part of the day's business was in Consols, and tho specula tive transactions were marked by more con fidence than for some days past. The list of actual prices is as follows tr—viz., Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 100: 1,4, 3,1 ; ditto for account, 1001, 4, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 9./ . 4 1.

There was no rally in Exchequer Bills,'which re main quoted at their depressed range of 70e. to 735. prem., both for the March and Juue issues. India Bonds were sold at 81s. prem. Business in the foreign house was on a quiet scale. Sardinian Bonds reached 1001, and Dutch, Mexican, and Turkish were very firm. A ire eLing of the par ties interested in the Turkish Loan has been called by Messrs. C. Devaux and Co., the contractors, for Friday next, at the London Tavern.

The lino which the company mole especially propose to undertake is to commence, it appears, at Yanka ria, in the Gulf of Cambay, and pass through Baroda t. itutlam and Agra. It is stated that the Paris and Strasbourg Railway Company are about to continue the line from Eper nay to the Belgian frontier by way of Rheims, Mezieres, Sedan, and Civet. In this case it is un derstood the Namur and Liege Railway Company will prolong their line from Namur to Civet, by way of Dwain. By the accounts from Sydney it appears that the influence on the market expected to be exercised by the novel circumstances of the colony, was in full operation. Almost every deseription of merchandise was selling rapidly, and at excellent prices, and immediate shipments were strongly urged; especially of slop clothing, beer, wines, brandies, hardware, crockery, watches, musical instruments, oilman's stores, and boots and shoes. The imports into Syd ney from England up to the beginning of August had been small, and the market was almost cleared for shipments to Melbourne. The prices of stocks at Amsterdam on Tuesday are thus reported by telegraphic express:—Butch Four per Cents., 93); ditto Two.and-a-lialf per Cents., 63 13-16 ; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 24; ; Mexican New, 23 3-16 ; Portuguese New, 371; Austrian Five per Cent.
