60 YuneraL OF HIS MAJESTY GEORGE TILE THIRD. The last last antics were paid on Wednesday to our revcrod King, and we tear we may exclaim with our is liatd, " 1V c shall not hio . upon his • like again c"—this we say only because we reli giously believe that not one in a hundred can be finuttl whose morality was so cittirs. In our account of the obsequies of the lamented Duke of Kent, only a few hours preceding those of our b. loved Monarch; will be found any think; which it may am Is we have omitted in those of our Sovereign the burins were strongly similar, and the regrettetlly early recurrence of them, may plead our excuse for less of prolixity in the description of each. At half-past five o'clock, a strong body of cavalry. composed of deta:liiiiwts front the Ist and td Life Guards and the O to xth the rd Blots. formed two line r . extending from the entrance lower court down Castle Street. and for a coneiderable distance up High Street anal Park Street. The space in the centre of the two lines was kept clear for the convenience of those who had tickets of admission to the lower court. At six o'clock orders were given to admit those who had procured tickets from the Groom of the Stole, and a furious rush imuredietely took place. In the north aisle benches were erected on a gradual ascent to a considerable height. the the accommodation of those who had received tickets, who formed pant of the procession. Oyer the descent to the Royal milieus , . a magnificent canopy of purple `velvet was erected, surinouated by A crown and cushion. Tlw cornice wes formed of a richly gilt Gothic Scroll, from which depended festoons. each charged with a royal escutcheon. — This kind of cautipied temple. or bofdarpria, had a very imposing effect. The ordinary lights of the Chapel being insufficient to render the ceremony distinct, the number of candles was increased ; ' branches were deal to e very Knight's stall, and around the altar, and three large brass chandeliers were suspended hoar the ceiling, each containing an immense number of wax lights.— This had the desired effect, and the effulgence was suffieient to enlighten every part of the building. Additional seats were raised on each side of the altar for the threign ministers, and for those illustrious individuals who attended the funeral. Besides this. tie organ-loft, which contained 94 persons, was prepared for the reception of people of distinction. These were the only places allotaal for spectators ; consequently the numbers admitted to witness the funeral :service were extremely limited. Sown after eight o'clock the .stl regiments d Guards, In white 1 , were starched on that portion of the ildforrn which ..at the Gothic porch, from whence the funeral procession was os issue. without the South door of St. George's chapel. Some difficulty was encountered in marshalling t re hem, and a consider • able delay was the conseq u e nce. They we ultimately formed i two lines, one on each side of the platform. They rested on their arms. Many of them carried flanthatux, but the lights, were nut distributed with any degree of regularity. The noblemen and gentlemen appointed to form a part of the pratessionastrembleci at St. George's Hall at seven o'clock, and man than marshalled in the order of rotation by Sir George ' Naylet. At the same hour his Royal Highness the seat Duke doff York, who appeared ut be deeply allotted, took his at head of the esiffin as chief mourner attended by his supporters, where his Royal Hightiesit remained until nine. At nine o'clock the symphony to the Dead March in Saul reverberated as from a distance through the Castle walls, and shortly afterwards th St. e promotion began to stove from the statotapartments towards George's Chapel. Again. after a short interval, t h e trumpets sounded as from a short distance the same symphony t the minute gum joined their mournful discord ; and the bands of the Coldarasu serrick up the Dead March. This was repat orted several times before the I , : occasion came into the lower yard all 't at lot. it burst upon the public view, and as it passed along the dense line of spectators. created on every sate a most striking and its elfixt. As the coffin arrived near them. every individied vow uncovered. and remained so. as a last mark of respect to die Sovereign whom he had so much loved and respected whilst living. The procession from the grand porch to the south door of St. George's chapel *Sided to thoussnds of spectators a scene of ' funereal grandeur. atone the most solemn and picturesque,— The long train of distinguished personages. bahited in their mournful costumes. relieved only by tie occasional parti coloured magnifiamm of heralds. was rendered quite visible to the beholders by the lights of the torches borne by the soldiery. who lined on each side the temporary way. The evening. was dark, but the torch lights produced the finest imaginable effect. While they displayed the personages engaged in the solemn ceremony, they cast a bright light on the countenances of the eibeerving multitude. and brought to view, with all the magical appearance of castellated scenery, the venerable towers. and battlements, and pinnacles of that great combination of edifices. which mark and recall to us the days and the works of our progenitors. The Procession moved on in the following order : Knight Marshal's Men, two and two, with black Staves. Trumpets and kettle drums, and drums and fi fes of tits Foot Goods. Pony Knights of Windsor.

At the entrance of the Chapel, the Royal Body was re ceived by the Dean and Prebendaries, attended by the choir. who fell in immediately betide Blanc Coursier King of Arms boning the Crown of Hanover; and the procession then moved into the choir. where the Royal Body was placed on a plat form. and die Crowns and Cushions laid thereon. The Chief Mourner sat on a chair at the head of the corpse, and the supporters on either side. The Princes of the Blood Royal were seated near the chief mourner. The Lord Chamberlain of his Majesty's Household took his place at the feet ot the corpse ; and we supporters of the pall and of the canopy arranged themselves on each side of the Royal Body. The part of the service before the interment, and the anthem. being performed. the Royal Body was deposited in the vault; and, the service concluded, Sir Isaac Heard. Garter. firo• nouncod near the grave, the styles of His late most waned Ma jeety, of blessed memory. The procession from the entrance to the choir, within the chapel, was Blinked by the Grenadiers of the Foot Guards, every fourth man bearing a flambeau. THE CHAPEL. At half past 7 a detachment of the First or Grenadier Guards were manhed into the middle of the aisle, and took their stand on each side of the railed way, through which the general pro cec'ion was to pass. At eight o'clock their arms and standards were reversed. and every second man was supplied with a large wax taper lighted. A whole hour now elapsed, which was not marked by any incident except the solemn firing of the minute guns. At 9 • clock a mournful flourish of trumpets, but faintly heard in the aisle, announced that the procession had begiin to move. In a few minutes the van entered the aisle, consisting of the Poor Knights, tbllowed by the Pages; and then. by slow degrees, the whole body moved forward in the order described in the cetemomal. It is impossible to conceive a mote striking, a more deeply impressive spectacle. than that which now presented itself. All that is distinguished in rank or station, judges. gene rals. bishops. privy councillors, peers, were seen in silent march accompanying to the tooth the corpse of a mighty monarch. so lately the Montan) of hanouta, hot now a mere memento of the fnigt.ity of all earthly grandeur, In addition to the solemnity induced by this general reflection, every heart seemed to feel personally a particular grief as at the loss of a friend or father. Die united force of these ideas produced toiether such deep reverential sorrow, that we are pers u aded that few persons multi have witnessed the scene of last night without becoming more reasoning and serious. if not wiser and better beings: it was • spectacle to teach even •• heedless reuniting im p olse how to think." Aiming the distinguished persons of tippusitson who had come to pay their homage to the memory of then venerable Soserew., were the Duke of Be-dhoti, Earl Grey, die Earl of Lauderdale; and it was gratifying to see that those who differed in all ;mains of politics, agreed in one thing—that all the respect individuals hove it in their power to bestow s;;ould be paid to him who lied so long adorned and beautified the kingly 'Mice with • mdd wisdom and undeviating worth. As the procession slowly moved along, we were able to observe the several Dukes who had been appointed to bear the dull; and. milers our eyes deceived us, we saw the Dukes of %lellington. Buccleugh. Newimistle, Dorset. Northumberland, :sod Athol. The ca..upy oser rite c.hffin was Wine by Marquisses. among et 1.0411 we per ceive, the Marquises of Statlind, Ducaingliam, is.alCiodunnale• _*" • f Icy. Almost iiiintediamely before the main, a must iurp u effect was produced by the array of national banners, carried ditkrent noblemen. The Union Balmer was carried by 1., Grenville, St. George's Banner by Lord Howard of Effingham. the grand Coyal Banner by I.ord Hill, the Banner of Scotland Clinton. the banner of Ireland by (we believe) Lord Ilearlfort, and the Banner. of Hanover and Brunswick by two noblemen whose persons we could not distinguish. As soon as the coffin appeared round the corner of tire cede, the singers of t h e attE ae nt choirs, who were followed by the Dean of W milsor, struck up the solemn service of " I know that my Redeemer liveth." 'This beautiful anthem lasted till the corpse was carried into the chapel and plead on the weasels. Immediately after the coffin followed the Duke of York as chief mourner; his Royal Highness had the appearance of deep and unaffected sorrow. Next hint weat the Duke of Clarence, the Duke of Sussex. the Duke of Glouctsacr, and Prince Leopold. The fine manly aspect. of the latter, imbued as it is with seriousness and suffering, made a great imPreasion on the As soon as the pie. cession was completely in the chapel, the Dean of Windsor, assisted on this occasion by the Arcabsehop if Canter. bury. commenced the service. The Psalms were that daunted by the fullest choir we ever heard, of the principal velem of the Chapel Royal, of St. James's and St. George's ; Air. limpet presided at the organ, and displayed at once the pesisitmlest science anti the finest taste; nothing could exceed the psethisek, the delicacy. the majaty of his execution. And he was Wilda, assisted. Messrs. Vaughan, W. Kaput. J. 11. Bale, awl Mar • shall, sang with a solemn sweetness that divested the with eI all sublunary thoughts. and filled it with Rims =Weeps Alter Kent's anthem of " Hear my prayer, the choir peribin k ed that sublime piece. " I heard a voice from Heaven. At the conclusion of the service, and previous to the last collect and blessing. the funeral anthem. comp usud by Haadel for Queen Caroline. was sung bythe full band. One portion, in which the voices of boys alone were employed, was a masterpiece of delici ous, enchanting harmony. When this anthem was finished, the Dean read the prayer which accompanies the lowering of the body into the grave; and it is impossible to describe the thrilling awe of every bosom as. the throwing of the dust resounded from the royal coffin ; this awe was still heightened to those in the chapel, from whose eyes the coffin had slowly and gradually disappeared, without hands, as if it had been mysteriously withdrawn by some soper. natural power. Sir Isaac Heard then read the tides of his late Majesty, but in a voice less firm than wual. This tremulous. 1 nets was, however, the effect of grief rather than of age. The su vice being concluded, Mr. Kayvett played a solemn voluntary. and the procession returned nearly in the same order in which it came. Thousands were afterwards admitted into the chapel. to see the coffin and its splendid paraphernalia. as it lay in the tomb. Tbus ended the most awful and niagnific.ent mremony which any British subject now living ever whim/tied in this conniry ; a ceremony, not merely adorned with all those apt endages of grandeur which belong as a matter of course to all royal funerals. but rendered sublime by the voluntary and heartfelt homage of countless thousand: of affectionate subjects. who had thronged to the last obsequies of their King, not from the idle curiosity of acting a grand exhibition, but to shed a last tear over the grave of a father and friend. TRENCH PAPERS. (OFFICIAL.) " PARIS, Fen. 15.—This day, the Chancellor of France, President of the Chamber of Peers, with the Alembers composing the Bureau, and all the Peers of France present at this day's sitting, and the great Deputation of the Chamber of Deputies, accompanied by a great number of other Members, were admitted to present Addresses to the King.— To which the King replied— " I am deeply affected by the share which the Chamt hers take in my just affliction. 1 see with pleasure tha it is disposed to concur in the accomplishment of mr views in this momentous circumstance. Let it n st be doubted, that a matt in heart, and a King by duty,l shall take the measures necessary to preserve the Sate from the dangers of which this day's crime but too fully apprizes me." It is impossible to insert all the additional particu lars furnished by these Papers. The following are the most important " It was hall-lass eleven o'clock, the Opera was near its close, the Duke de Berry had just handed his Duchess into the carriage, and was turning round to re-enter the house. At that moment the assassin rushed forth, pushed M. De Featifremont, Ankle-Camp to his Royal Highness, and grasping the Prince forcibly with his left arm, passed his right user hir Royal Ilighticss's right shoulder, and stabbed him below the right breast, b. tureen t h e seventh and eighth rib, wall a pointed two edged instrument, about be‘ets or eight inches in length. I he WOW was glY1:11 with so 11111C11 force, that the whole of the instrument entered the wound. The Prince tottered, and exclaimed, " 1 am murdered." At that cry the Duchess of Berry and Madame 1)e Redly's) , rushed down fr he carriage. It was that lady who first perceived that :he dagger remained, and who drew it out. The blood i tttt nediately gushed in such abun dance, that bon sheand the Duchess were covered with it.
