to be hciught forward, it woald be desirable to base it full attendance, and no undivided attention—advantages that em a i l n ot be hoped fat e lien a dissolite was expected so *min. Therefore had the Ministers advised the Message. Ns to the budilebil to be done, lie d,d not understand that any noire grants wnu'd be required for the ;white set vice. The Mutiny Act was to be continued till Hite V.), NS the dissolu• lion might take place liniment might he it!-ettibled by the 'Alt or '2sth of Apt il. It might not he teady to proceed salt pllhlic business so curly, but it could he assembled by that time. He concluded with moving an address, which was a repetition of the Message. Mr. TI ERN KT observed that he believed this ill he the We instant e since the Revolution, where the 'loyal Ale,sage, after the Accession to the Throne, omitted to open the views of the king, especially regarding the hereditary revenues of the Crown. It was impossible to believe that there was not something at the bottom of all this which none could understand. Why was notion; said about the civil Ist ? Was there not some reason which it was not deemed prudent to avow As the civil list was sett led in 1616, why was not a 11.11 brought in about the civil I , st ? Terre was a plenty pf lime, because the list had been so recently settled ; and why it was Dot thought WI he was quite at a Liao to compre qend. Hat now it seemed that May, the latter cod of the season, contrary to all former notions, nos deemed the convenient period to C0a411141 heavy busioess. Theta a as, however, to be no grant of money. ANCELLOR of the ISXCIIEQUER,saiii lie pro posed to apply for grants to meet the civil list expeuditure to April 5. Mr. rtLRNEY continued, By that period, the new Parliament Mould not be assembled ; and therefore from April 5, there ninthd br an grains to maintain the dignity tif the Crown. Why was this unprecedented cruise to be pursued, except it was apprehended that the civil list cession would call forth something which tin nun autici ;laird, and which the inimstels did trot choose to meet with this Parliament. He should protest against the course as most unprecedented, and why the busimssasually expected was now to he evaded he timid not imagine. Lord CAS I' li ERE Mill replied. The Jtight lion. Gen tleman bad in great part answered biotin:R.o' it carte true that the (ISt! List was settled so recently. As to the hereditary revenues of the Crown. he felt persuaded that Parliament would not Mose those lib , al ewances to the Crown which had never been refused. Hut did it follow, became the civil list was settled in 1814, that stick arrangement would suit the present period I If it were to twielergo dis- CilVsifill, would that time be the best for it whew apposaching elections might divide the attention of Huth Members. It was the principle of those opposite that the grants to the Crown should be so liberal us to secure the Parliament from debt ; and on such footing' it was desirable to place the civil list. The CHANCELLOR of' the EXCIIFQUER explained the Acts regarding the Civil List, aud added, that no part was strictly applicable to the service of the Civil List but the hereditary Revenue of the Crown. That amounted to or 6011,0001. and no more, and that was by no means suffi cient to meet the expenditure of the Civil List. If debt were to be avoided, the List mast be placed nit a different footing; and therefore an extended examination and deli berate consideration were necessary. Instead of new grants being required, he had pleasure in stating, that by fresh arrangements t onvellerable strirtrip might he, and he auticipated would be erected. On Monday next, the earliest day, he should propose Grants for Ilse service of the Civil List, tiN April S. Besides a Bill to continue the Mutiny Act, there would be Bills to continue those Acts.whieh would otherwise expire before the new Parlia ment could be assembled. Mr. HUM E said, that by the 54th of die late King, there Was was an Mlow once " to the Princess of Willis, stow our Queen t'' sad be wished to learn whether suck Act was to lie continued ? Lord CAS TLEREAGH replied, that pains would be taken that no Menus enience should be felt iu the quarter to a hick 111111114011 had been made. Mr. BROUGHAM observed, that the House was placed in a most extraordinary situation by the precise <and specific Message from the king. He meant to make tio allusion to what bad been inesitioned by 141111011. Mt m iter _(Mr. Home) who just spoke. Tim Message made the Haase party to the propriety of dissolving Parliamerit, a subject that ought to be kept to the Crown peculiarly and this course was host inamostinitional. Alter, how ever, having been told that the country was in a t alarming state, that plots were hatching under their feet, and that it was necessary to bridle the people a tilt severe laws, it was gratifying to thud, that now there was no cause fur alarm, sauce, by the dissolution of .Parliament, one of the recent severe laws expired (the Seditious fleeting** Act, we believe). But it was easily to be un derstood why a new Parliament am; to be prel'ereed to a death-bed Patetismo'', to adjust theCivil.List. Mr. CANNING declared, that the Ministers had no designs other than those which had •been avowed; and that if the contrary cute found, die Hon. mid 'Learned Gentleman would not fail to remind them of it. As to the interference of Vailiamesit, so apprehended, it seemed to be forgotten that the Home fold heretofore even prayed -the flamed* to dissitiveil'arliament. Never had a Royal demise taken place, tinder cii emn • stances, theretare fiterr•was .no pencedeut ' • but as the Mon. and•Learnedtlentlessan lied been the first to enter Ake field, to ,amino his adversaries to combat, it was ra ther hard for itituto•complain of precipitate,' of dissolu tion--(A laugh). Mr. BROUGHAM 'replied, In explanation, that -order to hiring in the story of the advertisement, miste preseniatien laud been resorted to. So far Irina tom Oniony of precipitancy, be bad rejoiced that dissolution was to approach so suon.--(l4ear.) lint lie had cum. plained that the Ileum was called uu to approve of the Crown's reiolution to dissolve the Parliament. Mr. hIACDONALD having adverted to the Nord pro ceeding of calling on the House to discuss the propriety of the dissolution, declared that the canse of such disso lotion was the disinclination of Ministers to meet parti cular questions with the present Parliament. .

The procession arrived at Cumberland (amigo, on Friday evening, about half-past six o'clock. '1 he body was then removed from the hear e, and de deposited in the drawing-room, wl.ich Lid been prepared for the solemnity of lying in qate. The coach, containing the urn, moved on towards St. George's Chapel, escorted by a detaankla of the Royal llorse Guards bearing torches. It ar rived at the chapel about ten o'clock. The um, which was of a square form, covered with crimson velvet, was then carried to the royal vault by four Yeoman of the Guards. The Dean of Windsor, the Provost of Etun, the Rev. C. Digby, and Mr. Mash, assisted at this solemnity. At twelve o'clock on Saturday morning, the pub lic were admitted at Cumberland Lodge to sec the remains of his late Royal Highness lying in state. They enterod at the Great Hall, from which they proceeded to the Drawing-room, a s p acious apart ment, hung with black draperies, and lighted with wax tapers, fixed in saver sconces on the walls.— Under a canopy covered with escutcheons was placed the body. Over the coffin, which was co• vered with crimson velvet, was a all, adorned witn escutcheons, On each side the body were burning four large wax lights, in massive silver candlesticks. At the head of the coffin sat two gentlemen of his late Royal Highness's household, The effect of the whole scene was most impressive, At seven o'clock on Saturday evening, the hells of George's Chapel and the Parish Church began to toll. At half-past seven, a detachment of the Royal Horse Guards lined the streets from the gate of the castle to the entrance of the Long Walk, in open order; every fourth man bearing a torch. At half.past seven o'clock the procession set out from Cumberland Lodge. It consisted of the hearse, two m ourning coaches, and five carriages of the Royal Family, accompanied by mutes on horse ' back, and a detachment of the Royal Horse Guards, bearing torches. As the glare of light illuminated the leaf-less trees on the neartx ap proach of the procession, the outline of this meg magnificent avenue became distinct ; and when the slow tread of the horses came upon the ear, amidst the surrounding stillness, the effect was in the highest degree impressive. On reaching the ter initiation of' the Long Walk, in Park Street, that. part of the procession which was to be on foot joined the carria;.,vs; and the whole moved through the streets to St. George's Chapel. At the south entrance of St. George's Chapel, the Dean and Canons, attended by the Choir, received the body, and part of the procession having been previously formed, the whole moved on. About seven o'clock a detachment of the Battalion of Guards, stationed at Windsor, marched into the the Chapel. Then thrum] a single line on each side the nave, every fourth man bearing a flambeau. About 200 persons had been admitted , '' as spectators, into the north aisle, by tickets, issued by the Lord Chamberlain, the Earl -Marshal, and the Dean and Canons of Windsor. At the entrance in the Chapel the Dean of Wind sor commenced the reading of the sublime Funeral Service, " I am the Resurrection and the Life." It is a point of propriety, that, during the period of a Monareh lying unentonthed, the Organ service shall not be performed in any Cathedral, or Colle giate Chapel. The mournful and unprecedented circumstance, that on this occasion the funeral rites which demanded this observance were those of a Son of the Sovereign, thus removed at the same time on a happier state, rendered the simple and affecting office of the dead peculiarly solemn. The body was conveyed into the choir by the same machinery as that adopted at the Funeral of her late Majesty. The Dean then read the Servire tirom under the Sovereign's Stall. At the proper moment, the plat form placed over the entrance of the Royal Vault gradually descended without any perceptible aid ; the chief mourner mite on a chair at the head of the corpse; his supporters on either side ; the supporters of the pall sate in their places near the body, and the bearers of the canopy on either side. From the great sine of the coffin, there was sonic difficulty in lowering it into the vault, the opening being scarcely large e nough fine its admission. At the conclusion of the Office of Burial, the ve nerable Sir Isaac Heard proclaimed the style of his late Royal Highness, in u most distinct and impres sive manner. Throughout the awful ceremony, all eves were turned upon their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York, Clarence, Suscex, and Prince Leopold, whose feelings it is almost impossible to describe. Ills !toy al Highness the Duke of Sussex, so long the inti mate companion and resident under the sante roof at Kensington-palace with his lamented brother, ia vain rallied his firmness to support him under this trying affliction. Th'ir congenial frelings, the ro. ciproeity of their active and benevolent pursuits, rushed upon his mind ; the sulltu rupture of their earthly connexion, under circumstances peculiarly calculated to awaken the most poignant grief, called forth all those sensations which only the good can feel, and His Royal Highness gat• vent to his fixlings in unrestrained and overwhelm. ing anguish. The griel'of Prince Leopold teas ma nifested in a calmer but not less expressive manner. [Es Royal lightness appeared sunk in abstract con templation. Ile now mourned fur the husband of his sister—when last in this chapel he wept over Cie bier of his wife, the beloved and lamented daughter of England. The Dukes of York and Clarence seemtd also to feel the bitter separation to which they were doomed front the object of their fraternal affection. Tie !loyal mourners and their attendants imme diately withdrew from the chapel, and were followed by the number of persons ad►uitted W wituess the cuentony.
