His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and Ids Royal Highness the Duke o f Cambridge arrived at the Abbey at hall-past 12 o'clock, and were received by the Very Rev. the Dean, who conducted the Prince of Wales to his stall in the choir. His Royal Highness was attended by his equerries, Lord Alfred Hervey, General Knollys, and Major Grey. The Duke of Cambridge was conducted by the Sub-Dean to his stall, opposite that of the Prince of Wales, and their Royal Highnesses retained their sesta until the removal of the coffin to the grave. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York occupied their , stalls immediately next those of the two Princes. The procession arrived at the Abbey gates punc tually at 1 o'clock, and proceeded slowly up the nave, the choristers chanting to Croft's music the opening sentences of the Burial Service, "I am the resurrection and the life," " I know that my Redeemer liveth," "We have brought nothing into the world ;" but when its head, which consisted of the London and provincial corporations, entered the choir, the members seemed to forget the sa l lemnity of the occasion, for they hurried across the open space beneath the Lantern and disappeared into the Sacrarium with a rapidity which defied all older and precedency. A pause now ensued, which was filled up by the rapidly approaching chant of the choristers and the solemn peal of the organ, a movement such as is always perceptible in large I assemblages, when the principal object of interest approaches, took place, and slowly the coffin was borne onward, preceded by a plume, and having the pall supported by the Cabinet Ministers. From our distant gallery we could recognise Mr. Gladstone, pale as a statue, Earl Russell, Earl Granville, Sir George Grey, Earl de Grey, and the Duke of Somerset, and we could also see that all wore the stars and ribbons of the orders of knighthood to which they belonged. The coffin was placed on its tressels in front of the altar, the pall bearers were accommodated with seats in its immediate vicinity, and the remaining space in front of the altar was filled by the 150 mourners, headed by the Rev. H. &divan, chief mourner, and the Earl of Shaftesbury. The service then commenced with the 90th Psalm ; after which the Sub-Dean, the Rev. Lord John Thynne, read the Lesion, 15th chapter Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians. A very short space of time was thus occupied, and then the choristers, who wore black bands over their surplices, filed off and formed a semicircle in the immediate vicinity of the open grave. The central portions of the church were now quite full, the religions service and the beautiful and well- execu ted church music began to tall upon the congregation, and the ceremonial assumed a really solemn and imposing character. The coffin was raised from its tressels, and while its bearers occupied a moment or two in adjusting their heavy burthen, every one crowded about the coffin to touch the pall or to gaze on the viscount's coronet which rested on the lid. The organ burst forth with Beethoven's funeral march, and the Dean, vritb the two royal princes, one on each band, proceeded slowly towards the grave. In a moment the hitherto deserted north transept was filled with peers, commoners, men noted in literature or arms, the clergy, the choristers, and the mourners. The number of bald heads was a subject of general notice, but all conversation was soon stilled by the sonorous voice of Dean Stanley reading the sublime words of the burial service so as to be distinctly heard in the remotest corners of the avenue. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge stood at the far end of the transept, In a stall which bad been spe cially prepared for their reception, and overlooking the grave. Even et the distance at which we were placed we could observe the serious, all mourn ful, expression of their faces, and could detect the star and ribbon of the Garter which each Prince wore over his deep mourning costume. There were the bearer of the coronet, the pall-bearers, and at the foot of the grave the Rev. Mr. Sulivan, the chief mourner, and the rest of the transept was l l completely filled with the mourners and the more privileged visitors. With respect to the grave itself it must be observed that it is rather a vault sufficient to hold a single body than a grave, being lined with encaustic tiles throughout, and therefore not permitting the throwing in of any earth at the most solemn por tion of the funeral service. This novelty attracted a great deal of notice, and was received with various degrees of approbation. To some it appeared a great improvement, as taking away all the earthy hideousness of burial ; but others thought that the traditional solemnity of the grave suffered when the dread words, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," are not accompanied by the usual symbolic sprinkling of earth on the coffin. We were in formed that on this omission the chief mounier responded to the words by casting several valuable rings into the grave. We state this on good au thority, but from the distance at which we were placed we could not ourselves be witnesses of so unusual a death offering. The sad ceremonial was now drawing rapidly to a conclusion, having gradually intensified in solemnity and in terest from the commencement, and was at last destined to terminate with an incident the striking solemnity and appropriateness of which produced a powerful impression upon the whole of the vast assemblage. The weather had been variable throughout the morning, but sun shine had predominated. Now, however, as the Dean was in solemn tones reading the concluding words of the service that reverberated throughout the cathedral, the scene darkened as if from an eclipse, the storm burst forth over head, said the whole of the grand and imposing tableau was wrapped in gloom. The lovers of coincidences came to the conclusion that a more appropriate finale could not be given to the mortal career of the great statesman than this sudden contribution of the heavens themselves to the solemnities of his funeral. - • ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Lord Palmerston's funeral yesterday seemed to prove the inadequacy of symbolism. Everything that the respect of living mortals could show for mortal remains ; everything that the traditions of Westminster Abbey could inspire ; everything that the undertake?' art could devise, were brought into requisition. Yet in spite of all, the broad feet that a great man has died and has been buried is the only one upon which memory lingers, and it is far from certain that the c eremonial of yesterday has augmented respect or increased .reverence foe the departed statesman. Those who were favoured with tickets for the choir had simply to force their way through an obstructive fringe of old ladies and their escort", who, assembling in the nave, had difficulty in be lieving that their vouchers did not entitle them to the most favourable standing or sitting point. The police were active, civil, and energetic, and after some little parleying, this fringe was broken through, and an entrance to the reserved part o g the Abbey effected. Here a stray verger, or a competent emissary of Messrs. Ranting, did the rest, and the spacious temporary gallery, which reached from the screen to the first arches over Poet's Corner, was open to the visitors favoured with a special ticket. There was ample room. The long range of broad, black steps covered with black cloth were only partly filled, and it was easy to choose a favourable resting-place. This done, the view of the grave and of the people viewing it seemed to be the subjects of contemplation for the nett hour. Those who had friends present con versed in decorous whispers upon the affairs of the day. Those who had not, remarked upon the im propriety of talking on mundane matters upon an occasion such as this ; and so the time went on. We were all hearty, sincere, and reverent in our desire to pay our tribute of respect to the ruling spirit now gone, and we displayed these feelings by selecting good plums in the gallery, and conversing in under tones. Other views, and perfectly sincere ones, were pro bably entertained by many other mourners, but to the writer, the necessary technicalities, the ranging into places, the very perfection of the arrangements , jarred somewhat upon the feelings proper to the grave. Never were the words of Tennyson's noble ode more appropriate : • Here, hi streaming Loodou's mistral roar, Let the mood of those he wrought for, And the feet of them he fought for, Eehe round his bones for evermore. ----- During all this time the peers and members of 1 parliament who bad been accommodated with places in Poets' Corner, were kept rigidly penned in, and with difficulty obtained permission to take a glimpse at the still open grave wlulst'lhe orgin was playing the congregation out with the Dead March in Saul. The whole of the funeral arrangements were per fect, and reflected high credit on Messrs. Banting, to whom they had been entrusted. The vocal portion of the music was performed by Messrs. R. Barnby, T. Baxter, J. Foster, W. Dawson, J. L Brown smith, G. Benson, Montem Smith, O. Bradbury, T. Lawler, W. Machin, H. Whitehouse, T. Fran cis, W. J. Fielding, J. Shoubridge, H. B i ackiand, W.

"As the last ceniage was drives away and the gads dosed, it seemed but as yesterday," remarks the Poe, "that Cambridge Hoar mounded with those bril liant political and social gatherings of which Lord Pamenton was the life and soul. It was hate that he lived during his long and memorable Premier. ship ; here that, amidst the anxious and pressing cares el State, and while her Majesty. in COnSegainee of the i death of the Prince Consort, sought that retirement from which she hr scarcely yet emerged, he dispensed a priasely hospitality, which was limited to no party, elan, or act here that the doors were readily throws open to depute• tions from all quarters, and upon every subject; depute,. tions who were 'Waled to and talked to in the most bush. ass -like and friendly roamer, sod who, if their wishes could not always be granted, took their departure in pleasant frame el mind." At Cambridge House, while lists were being fitted with the large streaming beads called " weepers,' and *pule. were being draped by the practised hands of wadeetakere men, there was leisure, the Telegraph sem to note all trivial things which somehow beoome innerly significant at such a time. Among them not the Wei I staking wee the large empty inane on the staireme. It was empty, because the portrait of Lord Palmerston had been taken from it and carried away, to undergo same operation at the kends of the picturochassair. and in the interval between its removal for that purpose and its restoration, the form of him whom it deplete primed for ever from mortal sight.

It was matter of talk, pending the time ic which these and other things impressed themselves upon the mad, that the Due de Perim bad telegraphed to lay that his purpose' journeying to London, to want at the melancholy duties honouring the memory of Lord Palmerston, had been frustrated by an accident ; and that Lady Palmerston bad received from the Empress of France an autograph letter full of kiadnau and sympathy.

Yet, despite this fitness, we venture to think, that to some of those present the contrast between the quiet Romsey ohurchyard and the ceremonial of the day came home with a teaching of its own. No objection can be taken to the arrangements of yesterday.
