Francis- . street, fottenhatixtoCia-road, down which the leader of the Procession attempted to pass, was in an in 'vent Mocked with carriages of all descriptions, which seemed to rush to a common centre as if by instinct. The Procet-ion was thus compelled to move on in a sttaight line towards St. Giles's, every street which leads out of Tottenham Court-road towards the direction of the New-road, being rendered inaccessible by the instantaneous blockade of the multitude. TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD TO THE CITY. • ' At the bottom of Oxford-street, those who acted in opposition to the misfits of the people, intended to turn the Procession back into some of the bye streets by means of a Regiment of foot soldiers ; but the mi litary were too late, either by passive obstruction or by firing. The Procession now moved onwards till it reached the top of Drury-lane-; and here the block ading system was again resorted to. A large eight horse , Aaggon, just then coming up, was drawn across the road, and upon this the People placed themselves as if to prevent its removai. Indeed the-. People, grown bold with success, seemed to feel ihie they would, and ought to have everything their own way. No further resistance was made by the Magistrates, and the cortege proceeded down Drury-lane, through Newcastle-street (Wych-street having been al so ' blocked up), into the Strand. lleie, however, an ' obstruction of a more formidable nature presented itself—an obstruction both placed and calculated to . revent the party from going westward, had they so -wished. Nay, so anxious and so determined were '-the people not to be defeated, that it having occurred to them that another attempt might be made to re gain the irregular path, by turning out of Drury-lane into treat Queen-street, and thus returning to Hol. born, they effectually blocked up the avenue of Queen-street, and forced the Proce-sion to descend into' the . Strand. It may here be proper to remark, that the Oxford Blues, who wete on duty at the time the Lite Guards fired on the people, did not partici pate in the outrage. They were, of ci.urse, during the whole day, favourites of the people, and were repeatedly cheered. Though the Pa.)lic were dis pleased to see nny military force in the Procession. the mild conduct of these soldiers and their Officers seealed to attract that approbation which is always given to men who behave with moderaion and pro p iety, in whatever situation they may he placed. Varions hut most unsuccessful eff o rts were made to precipitate the funeral through High Holborn, and thecce northerly, by one of the many obscure streets with which that neighbour hard abounds. But these efforts were futile; that people ho, with soli citous care, watched over her MaJesTv's interests when living, protected her rea.ains front insult when the motile spirit had fled. Every base attempt having been effectually baffled. :he funeral proceeded quietly tewar ds Temple-bar. When the cavalcade an at the bottom of New castle-street, a body of infantry was drawn up in a semi-circular line across the street from the New Church, to prevent the • rple from passing. Upon . five o'clock ; and the fatigue and exhaustion oT both men and horses were such as to make it impossible to go much further without rest. • WHITECHAPEL. The Procession passed through Whitechapel about five o'clOck. A greater enthusiasm and 'devotion were manifested here, if possible, than in the preced ing part of the route—the streets were lined with per sons, who seemed to have waited long for an oppor tunity of bestowing their benedictions on the object of ;he Procession as it passed; and numberless fe males in deep mourning, many of whom wept as the Procession passed by, filled the windows. A more general feeling Of sympathy certainly never displayed itself, and, at least amongst the women, it seemed as intense as it was sincere. STRATFORD. A Deputation of the principal Inhabitants of Strat ford, dressed in deep mourning, and-carrying a flag, met the Procession about two miles at this side of the town. Their presence added not a little to the general effect of the whole. As the Procession ap proached the town the bell of the little Church was heard tolling a solemn knell, and a flag was hoisted ,from the steeple half-staff high. On entering the, town the usual demonstrations of respect were dis played ; but it was quite clear, as in the preceding part of the route, that the feelings by which the fe ' male part of the spectators were actuated were those Which " passeth shew ;" very many of them wept aloud ; and the exclamation of " Poor dear Lady !" burst from them as it were instinctively. The wo men, at least, ever considered the QUEEN as the most, persecuted of her sex ; and &feeling of this sort, sanctified by her removal froth this world to one where she is " above praise and beyond reproach," has ripened into an idea that she fell at length a mar tyr to mortifications and neglect. Looking upon her death in this light, their devotion to her cause is warmer than could be, under other circumstances, conceived ; ansfsurely never was wish for the eternal peace of a departed spirit expressed with more sin cerity or intensity than in the route through which her Ma'am's remains were this day conveyed. . The Procession, which had gone at a brisk trot after leaving Whitechapel, stopped for a short time, beyond Stratford, to give some rest to the horses. And here again the devotion of the people was strongly displayed, for the coffin being made accessi ble to them, it was curious to Observe with what anxiety they pressed forward to touch it, and those who were lucky enough to succeed, seemed to pique thenfrelves upon having attained a good of which their neighbours in general were not fortunate enough to be participators. ROMFORD. The Procession then passed tlwough the little vil lage of Ilford, where the same feeling was still strongly manifested, and about half-past seven.reached Rum ford. The appearance of the town in its approach was very picturesque. A fine flat country borders the road from Ilford to Rumford ; but the monotony of the landscape, which takes in pasture land exclu sively, as far as the eye can reach, is here and there relieved by a precipitous hillock, or rising upland, which, if it does not bestow variety, at least gives a character of boldness to the scene.

We beg particularly to direct their attention to the quotations which we have made from those Papers generally most favourable to Ministers, as containing very warm and honest reproofs from quarters whence they were doubtless least expected : FROM THE MORNING CRRONICLR. The events of yesterday furnish a memorable les- 1 son to the British Government. They have so covered it with disgrace, that even its warmest partizans can not, and do not, attempt to speak of the result but in terms of the deepest humiliation. The highest Exe cutive Authority of the country, with all the force, Civil and Military, which it could call to its aid, and with the full determination to carry the point which it had in view, at all hazards of destruction to life, and property, has been baffled, beaten, and set at, nought by the People. _ _ _ After a whole forenoon's sighting, and after slaying and maiming to the number of some ten or twenty individuals, the Government of this great nation saw itself obliged either to yield to the popular voice, or to go on, wading its way through blood and slaughter, to the accomplishment of its purppse. What a pas sage for future history ! What an illustration of the wisdom and vigour which directs the affairs of the British People at the commencement of the reign of GEORGE the FOURTH! The mere fact that the Government should have been so defeated, no matter in prosecution of what object, is disgraceful, and in other times would have brought instant deprivation of office on those concerned in it: but ►•hen we look to the object for which this dis grace was hazarded and incurred, it is impossible to find words sufficiently descriptive of the pitiful attitude in which it presents the British Government. Posterity will be at a loss to believe that the whole of this sanguinary strife between the Crown and the People was about the line of road which the Funeral Procession of a beloved QUEEN should take—whe ther it should go the old way to Romford, or a new and out-of-the-way road, selected by the Prime Mi nister. The People were desirous that the Procession should go the old way, because they would thereby have an ampler opportunity of testifying their respect and veneration for the illustrious deceased ; and they say and are convinced (whether justly or not is a dif ferent question) that Government could have no ob ject in sending the Procession by the other road, but to deprive the People of that opportunity of express-, ing feelings which it would have been dishonourable to them as a magnanimous and Christian People not to entertain. " The proceedings of yesterday will reflect th e d eepest dis grace on Ministers. These men seem as if they were im p ell ed by some irredstible fatality to pursue on all occasions that course of conduct which is 1110• t calculated to irritate and provoke the People, and to bring the Authorities of the Country into con. tempt. What folly—if we can call what was calculated to pr o , duce an effusion of blood by so mild a name—to place them selves, without the smalleit necessity, in collision with the fed. lags of nearly the whole of the immense population of thi; tropolis and its environs! What a contrast, too, betwe en the generous spirit of the People, anJ the paltry means(.;; old ** who endeavoured to prevent ahem from displaying, on this sag occasion, their feelings of regard for their late lamented Qum' •••••• • • • • • Every measure had been taken for ensuring the success of the object which Ministers have net deemed unworthy of so much anxious deliberation ; but all their measures were frustrated by an energy and a determination on the part of the People, on which they had not sufficiently calculated. The Procession, in spite of all their mysterious 5..-crecy, and all their deep-Laid cons. binations, was forced to take that coarse which, in deference to the public feeling, it ought to have been allowed at first to take. The Common Council of the Erg City of the Empire has th s been allowed an opportunity of paying the last respects to her Merssrr; but these honours so the memory of her Moaner have been purchased at en expense which every friend to hu manity must deeply regret." The Government, however, would have its own wai, that is, to go out of the way, without assigning a single reason for so doing, except merely that it was its sovereign will and pleasure ; and in a case where concession to the wishes of the People would have' been prudent, honourable, humane, and (what Lord LIVERPOOL may perhaps prize more) statesmanlike, it was determined to persist, even to fire and sword. The melancholy consequences are before the Public. The attempt has brought upon its authors that comfiture and shame which its folly merited. That the People acted against law, there can be no doubt; that they acted dishonourably to the na tional character, will not, we presume, be the gene-' ral opinion. There are cases when even die law must bend to that which is the foundation of all law, the general sense of what is right. It is not more true that subjects may sometimes oppose the laws unjusti-' fiably, than that those who administer them may exert them unjustifiably; and punishment is not more merited in the one case, than resistance is morally correct in the other. Authority is deserving of obe dience no longer than while it is exercised in har mony with that public opinion to which it owes its being, and must still trust for its preservatioa. We observe that it is recommended by a partizan of Ministers to institute legal proceedings against cer tain individuals, who are pointed at as having taken an active part in the measures so successfully adopted to prevent the procession from following the route directed by Government. If we were to take as a guide for oar anticipations of the future, the wisdom displayed yesterday by his MAJF.STY'S Government, we should think it extremely likely that prosecutions will be instituted. The same folly which gave cause to so many flagrant breaches of the peace may very possibly endeavour to transfer to innocent and praise worthy individuals the punishment so justly due to the criminal authors of such proceedings. But should any such attempt be made, we venture to predict that it will be only'productive of new discomfiture and disgrace—of a still more solemn and explicit declaration of the opinion generally entertained of yesterday's transactions. We do not believe that any Jury of Englishmen, fairly chosen, will be found to : convict a single individual, for anything he may have done to oblige the Procession to take that road which it ought to have taken at first, without render ing such an unpleasant exercise of compulsion ne cessary.

Ot de I Military themselees, we shall say nothing : they are, is itch eases, the mere instruments of the will of others. But what shall be said of the Government which could (we will not uy order, but which could) allow Englishmen to be sabred and shot, because they were anxious to stew a greater respect to the memory of the Quest( than Ministers held consistent with their own bitter hatred of the illustrious deceased " had the Procession been suffered in the first instance to take the regular route, and to pass by the inain road through Hyde Park-corner., and so directly on to the City, not a mur mur would have been heard, not a blow struck, tnuch less a valuable life sacrificed.

It is difficult to imagine anything more in discord with the gene ral habits and feelings of civilized men—indeed, more painfully revoking, than to behold the march of a dead body to its grave marked in the tempestuous accompaniment of popular shouts, rude strife, violence, and bloodshed. Bat how much more de plorable is such a scene when the contending parties are the Government of a great kingdom on the one side, and the popu lace of its capital on the other—ovhilet the object of unseemly disgraceful contention is the corpse of a Queen! Such was the scene of yesterday. From the time the cava l ca d e accom panying the Queen's remains left Brandenburgh House until it reacted Temple-bar, this march of death was one continue battle between the troops who escorted the corpse and the po pulace, who hovered round, or followed it—the roomer av o idi ng the line leading to the City of London, and the latser keeping them to this line by force and contrivance—oome paying the forfeit of their lives for their lamentable victory. " ft will be observed by the copious accounts which we give, that almost every attempt of the directors of the cavalcade to skin the city was defeated, by their Ending the roads or streets torn up by the mob, or blocked with carts, trees, and every other means—or by the multitude which sometimes opposed it self as a rampart. We have as yet no account that may be rzlied lon of the number who suffered ; but it is supposed that several have been wounded, and at least one killed. And why this scene of humiliation and bloodshed?—Merely to prevent the corpse from passing through the City of London—to prevent one of those exhibitions which would have passed away and been forgotten with the following morning ! What a figure does the Government makeinthis affair ? The diplomatic correspondence between a Lady in Waiting and a Prime 'Minister was ludicrous enough, if we may apple that word where the business of death is the matter in debate—the affair was still worse when we find the wisdom of the Cabinet manoeuvring with the ppulace, by mysteriously concealing the route traced for the cavalcade. But words cannot describe the abject and pitiable situation of those who committed themseists in a petty conflict, and exposed themselves in the eyes of England and Europe, by failing to enforce their own intentions. 14 We are very sorry that Lord Lnmaroom should have been (If he really is) the person to compromise the dignity of Govern. ment in this unhappy business. It is true, the commands d his MAJIIITY may have been technically received; but can it be doubted that the exercise of a discretion on the spot, when the Sovereign was at a distance, did not come within his Lordship's power and responsibility? men in.power never learn that popular vapour derives strength only from compression, and is utterly imbecile when left to evaporate unconstrained? But do we blame Lord ',vitamin, for not enforcing, as he might have doze, the execution of the orders of Government? Far from it r the forbearance was humane; but we blame him, or who ever ordered this business, for having got into a situation from which it was impossible to escape without carnage or derision." PROM THE NEW TIMES. " It is impossible that any reflecting man can peruse the ac count of the. fatal proceedings of yesterday without the most painful emotions. Disguise it as we will, it was the triumph of mob law over the constituted authorities of the kingdom. DeplY responsible to their country are those men who, by in fl ammatory speeches, and paragraphs in new s p a p ers , excited the poi:elate to resist what ought to them, and to every subject in the realm, to have been sacred, the lawful command of a lawful and propel' authority. We say nothing of the indecency of disturbing the obsequies of the dead by tumult and bloodshed : we speak of a more serious and alarming evil, the open defiance of law ; and the avowed will of the mob controulirg and overpowering tNe authority of the State. It Is dreadful to hear, as we did heat last night in the streets, not one but twenty of the rabbit tolling of the exploit of the day as a Victory !—A victory? Over what? Over Law and Order, over all the bulwarks of Liberty, and all the safeguards of Lift. If the Law be not immediately art! strongly resorted to—if the guilty promoters of seditious :melt be not forthwith proceeded against and brought to justice, we must say that the Govornmen t of the country will be henceforth held at the tenure of tn. re popular caprice.
