we could see, of either et the other Royal Dotes; but the funeral pomp concluded with about a dozen coaches, belonging, we believe, to the Nobility and Gentry connected with the Household ; assd the rear consisted of a large body of Life Guards intermixed with Lancers. The grandest effect in the Procession was the appearance of the military when the torches were lighted : the illumination extended nearly a tbi!e, and the rich glow of their scarlet uniforms, to. gether with their splendid helmets and caparisoned horses, gleaming along the lines, formed a picture that would at once have excited the transport and biffled the skill of the finest artists; but it will be seen from this account that even with the large ac. cession acquired at FrOgmore, the Procession was neither so numerous nor so splendid as bed been es peeled. The form of Procession was as follows: The Carriage of his Royal Highness the Princeof Saxe-Coburg, with Six Greys.—Empty, The Carriage of his Royal Highnevs the Prince Regent, with Six !Jas.—Empty. • The Carriage of his Royal Higtin• ss the Duke of York, with Six tirevs.—Elopty .

The Procession arriffiret St. George'e Chapel nearly en hour sooner than had been expected; and Rome inconvenience resulted from Ibis unusual excel , of punctuality. We understood that several persons, whose business it was ro form part of the Chapel Pro- Cession, arrived too late to gain admittance. The Chancellor of the Eseliequer and Lord Bathurst were excluded • some of the higher o ffi cers of the Clue's' , Household gained admittance With great difhculty ; 101 l it was asserted, though we cannot vouch for the *fact, that the Duke of Northumberland, appointed to be one of the pall-bearers, could not enter to per. 'form his allotted function,. Either from this cir. cumstance, or the limited number invited, the Chapel had certainly a meagre and empty appearance. There 'seas also a went of policy in the paucity of admission tickets issued for the ante•chapel; for a procession without spectators is, of all things, the most omit,- •teresting ; and yet this was the case yesterday. — ,That grand and ample space which would have con :gained several hundreds of spectators, bad •orily a few soldiers, whose torches scarcely illuminated the place. and only served to show the dreary solitude otter 'attach they were scantily scattered. We now proceed to describe the ceremonial as it .took place within the walls of St. George's Chapel. CEREMONIAL WITHIN THE ROYAL CHAPEL. . • Poor Knights of Windsor. Pages of the Royal Fainily. „ .

Heard, Garter, pmtionneed near the Grave. the Styles of her late Majesty. N. B The Knights of the several Orders, who walked its the Procession, wore their repective Collars. The Procession from the entrance to the Choir, within the Cha,•el, was flanked by the Grenadiers of the Foot Civards, every fourth min bearing a flambeau. The number of persons admitted es visitors on this occasion, mud not forming part of the preparation itself, was very small,being limited to fifty-four, who were allowed, by means of tickets, to pass by the eastern door of the chapel, adjoining to the Deanery, and to take their station in the organ-loft, from whe►►ce a tolerable view both of the entrance of the Procession and the solemn concluding ceremony could be obtained. The visitors were admitted soon after six o'clock, at which time the chapel was still so dimly lighted as scarcely to render ob jects visible. Tim scene, however, soon began to assume the apperance of illumination in a slight degree, as tl►e soldiers who were stationed in the ante.rhspel were gradeally supplied with torches. The choir, though lighted in the usual manner, from the effect of the black cloth with which it was cover- ed, stilt remained gloomy and indistinct. At 7 o'clock she bell of the chapel began to toll, as ass intimation I that the Procession had moved from Frogmore,w bite the Alarshala and the persons belonging to the Lord Chemt:erlaits's office began to call over and to form thoits who were to precede the Procession into the choir. This was massaged with great decorum, and so as scarcely to disturb the general silence that reigned throughout the arcades of this noble building. The interval till eight o'clock was thus occupied, when the quick moving of lights and general bustle discovered through the windows announced the arri val of the funeral cavalcade. At this moment the notes of the organ were heard, and the Choir entered, each singer bearing a lighted taper in his hand, and singing the well-known Anthem from Croft's Burial Service. The strength and completeness of this choral band, at least treble the usual number allotted to the Cathedral service, and the select members of the principal Choirs in and near the metropolis,•break ing in upon the silence which before prevailed, pro duced ass effect truly solemn and impressive. The Procession then entered by the south door of the Chapel, nearly in the same order as given in the Cere monial previously arranged for the obsequies of her Majesty. The pall which covered the Royal body was supported on each side by three Dukes ; the Dukes of Northumberland, Dorset, and St. Albans, on one side ; of Newcastle, Montrose, and Beaufort on the other. The Royal Body was followed by the Prince,Regent, as chief mourner, supported by the Marquisses of Buckingham and Winchester, and at tended by the blaiquises of Bath, Salisbury, Head fort, Cornwallis, and Camden, as train-bearers : nest followed, as assistants to the chief-mourner, Earl Delawarr, Vicounts Lake and Bulkeley, Lords Boston, Amherst, Arden, Graves, Longford, Beres ford, Rivers, Grenville, St. Helens, Henley, end Hill. As these severally entered the Chapel, the van of the Procession moved forwards into the choir, the Windsor Knights, Pages, Ushers, and other Officers ranging themselves around and On the steps of the altar. Ilse members of the A......A Royal Family, of whom we perceived to be pre sent the Dokei of York and Susses, and those Noeletnen on whom the Order of the Garter had been conferred, stationed themselves in their respec tive stalls: the great dignitaries of the church, of whom were present the Archbishops of York and Canterbury, with the Bishops of London and Salis bury, occupied their respective places within the choir. The Royal Body having been carried to the steps of the altar, was placed on the platform pre pared to receive it ; the pall was removed, and the crown and cushion placed on the coffin. The Prince Regent, as chief mourner, being seated its a chair at the head of the corpse, surrounded by his supporters and train-bearers, standing, the funeral service com menced in the wmal manner, as performed at cathe drals, and at the demise of great and Illustrious Persons. Immediately on the entrance of the body into the' Chapel, the Choir commenced the impressive Burial Service, computed conjointly by Croft and Purcell. Th. 2d verse, " I know that my Redeemer limas," was played with exquisite tenderness.—Messrs. hnyvett, Sale, Welth, and Dawes, were the pal vocal performers. Nest's celebrated Anthem of 61 0 Lord, /tear my prayer," was then rung by the express seltsctiou of the Plince Regent, by two boys from the Chapel Rot at, and two from St. Genrge's Chapel, Windsor. lbe titre lesson of the Burial Service was read by the Hoe. Mr. Hobart, the Doan of Windsor.—Up to a late hoer of theday, various surmises were edge' in the town, and it was said that either the Arch bishop of Canterbury or the Bishop of London would read she service by the express command of the Prince Regent, to mask his Royal Highness's feelinget the manner in which the Dean and Chapter were represented (whether truly or not it is for those on the spot to say) to have arranged the accommo dation fur the persons assisting in the ceremonial on the last melancholy occasion. The Dean of Windsor, however, performed the service on the present oc casion in a most impressive manner. Doting the performance of that pert of the service which says, " 31an that is born of woman," the platform was gradually lowered by imperceptible ma. chinery, at 25 minutes past numb o'clock, and the car sad the coffin which it upheld descended below the surface of the pavement. At the moment of its disappearance the Dean read the simple prayer " For as much that it hath pleased Almighty God." The third pert of the service, •• 1 heard a voice from heaven," was then sung by the choristers, and the tenrtiudet of the office of interment read by the Doa is. After the service was concluded, Garter King at Arms reed the style and titles of the latt , Queen. Throughout the sad ceremony, all eyes were fi xe d on his Roy a l Highness the Prince Regent, who, as Chief Mourner, took his seat at the bead of the coffin. He seemed absorbed in grief. Ilis Royal Highness was long known to have been the favourite son of his august mother, and this was that occasion when filial piety would have shown ell the traits of its genuine affections. Besides, perhip., the natural and suitable grief of his Royal High. ness for the loss he had now endured, was aug mented by the poignant remembrance which the cc. ileac*, excited of the last sad offices of which this Chapel was the arena. His Royal highness withdrew from the sad scene, accompanied by the Dukes of York and Sussex, the Dukes of Montrose, Beaufort, and Newcastle, at tweuty.five minutes before ten o'clock. The sudden death of Colonel Disbrowe, her Ma. jesty's Vice-Chamberlain, in some degree deranged the order of the Procession, but an Officer of the Royal Household supplied his place. The crowd and pressure throughout the evening, was great beyond example in the streets; anti the pickpockets, notwithstanding the activity of the Loudon Police, in toll force from the different Public Offices, made an ample harvest by attempts to excite commotion and disturbance in every quarter where respectable groopes had obtained a footing. — It is due to the principal inhabitants of Windsor to state, that they afforded, at a great eapence and in convenience to themselves, all possible accommoda tion to their friends who came from a distance to see the Procession—balconies were every where not only occupied, but with a considerate attention to the safety of those who, impelled by ardent curiosity, are generally heedless of the risk they run, propped by strong timber posts, to render the occurrence of any accident through the weight of the crowd im possible. The Civil Authorities of Windsor were extremely active, and a number of special constables were sworn is for the occasion. Our Readers will recol lect the inconvenience and confusion excited during the funeral of the Princess Charlotte by the unne cessary employment of the military, without the coot rout and immediate superintendence of the Civil Power. We rejoice to state, that on the present occasion, so far as we could observe, the conduct of the military in general, and the Foot Guards particular, whose duty it was more immediately to line the Procession, was quite exemplary. The whole body of troops, including cavalry and infantry, did not exceed 3,000 men. They were. billeted in Windsor end all the adjacent villages ( A party were ordered to find quarters at Eton, bet)t seems that by a special exemption the precincts-e 1 this celebrated school are exempt from bearing a burden of this description, and the publicans naturally availed themselves of a privilege which the Provost, it is said, informed them they wereentitled to enjoy and enforces. We are informed that 30 years have els pled since fiord. tempt was made to billet soldiers within the preclucte of Eton College, and that then the Provost afforded shelter for the soldiers in the hall, while he dispatch ed an express to the War-Office, which had the Im mediate effect of admitting the exemption by with drawing the troops. The same consequence followed on the present occasion, for though we understood the billets were actually issued, yet the mere intim.. tioo of the objection sufficed to silence the enforce ment of the order. The difficulty of protidieg quar ters for the military was very great. Soon after eleven o'clock the military bep I to Ale off from their local stations in the streets of Wiodsor 4 and take their respective quarters for the night. The horse Wrote remained on duty in different position between Frogatore, Windsor, and Kew, until six o'clock this morning. -~ - The Royal Cemetery into which the corpse of the Queen was conieyed, was constructed frees the de. sign of the late Mr. Wyatt. It was begun in 1810: An excavation wee formed in the dry rock of chilki of the whole length and width of the building called Wthey's Tomb House, within whose walls it iit en closed to the depth of 15 feet from the surface. In this the sepulchre is cobitrected. The direensiosts of the tomb are 70 feet in lengthi 28 in width, and 14 in depth. The receptacles for bodies on the elites of the tomb are formed by massive Gothic columns of an octa gon shape, supporting a range of tour shelves; mit of which, in the space between the columns, is formed to contain two bodies, the whole range of each side affording space for thirty.tWo coffins. At the east end are five niches tok the reception of es many cuf.. fitts. In the middle twelve low tombs ere erected for Sovereigns. The sepulchre it thug calcalidej to re ceive eighty-one bodies. The columns are of Bee Bath stone, and the shelves of York Shire stone. A subterraneoss passage is formed from the vault, tine der the choir of the Chapel, where the coffin it lowered, and it is then privately placed in the vault. This is the fourth interment in this vault. The first was that of the late Princess Amelia who.ws4 removed here efter a tempordry burial •, the tecoadi that of the late Duchess of Bruoswict • the third; tbat of the late lamented Prime's* Clelrlottele and the fourth, that of her late Majesty. It is impossible to dismiss this sub ilthout noticing the limited attendeuce horns paid oy Cie Peerage on this occa-100, as well se by other persons who occupy • distinguished reek its the State : neither was their, we believe, auy female of rank who honoured the ceremony with her presence. Of his Majesty's Ministers. the teen wing . were present:—Lords Liverpool, Selmoutb ; the Lord Privy Seal, the Lord President, the lion. C. Poithursti G. Cannel, and W. W. Paw Upon the whole, though something seemed *ante ing to fill the full measure of pane expectation, yet there was no disorder, no tumult, such as is usual when large crowds or. collected. The length, how ever, of the journey, by breaking the immense mole titude into parts, had prevented that confusion which must have arisen,, had the whole mess been collected on one spot. As it was, the number assembled si t Windsor was far less Outs on the occ.i,ieit of the Ls.; octal et the Princess Chet lose ; but the *WO(' num ber scattered ou the road must 114*e been fully at I great. The appearance of the Metropolis was unarly simi lar to that of a Sunday. All the public offices were closed, all shops were shut. As fat et we have learned, the day was observed with equal respeci its I the country. The (loyal standard was hoisted ha -1 mast high, on board the ffielb of war in commisslue at the several ont-potts ; end each ship was to tire 30 minute guns. The same ceremonies were observed i at all the garrisons throughout the United Kingdom. 14AVAt INTELLIGENCH.
