The aquatic part of the Funeral Procession of Lord Viscount llclson took place yesterday. At seven ►clock in the rooming, the f? a ver Fencibles were in notion. At eight, the gun-boats were collened at he Tower Wharf. All was hurry old confusion far tbout an hour, when every thing b?ing prepared, he different boats took in their re,petlive crews,' rod, with flags lowered .trood out a s l .l-irt listance from the shore. They there lay -to, wait until the b.tr. of the several Companies, ig ...... ages rhich lay at the wharf, should he ready to sail. It vas a considerable time before the Gentlemen be onAing to the different Corporations, w h o were to tmbark on board the barges, arrived. The river littered with the rich assemblage of colours which ere di played; there w.ts, however, a degree of elancholy in beholding them. The crilauts were rhoisted only half-staff high ; a hunch of black rape was of to the top of ninny of the flag .taffs. The Lord '.loon barge, belonging to a Fire Insurance Company, di•played, at lier stern, a black crape sag, while at her bow, the portrait of the de ceased Hero drew the attention of every person pre sent. Mary of the Barge-Masters had on black silk scarves, 4 , 41 all the officers of the River Fencibles woe crape round their arms. The Bands belong ing to the different Companies at length arrived. Some of them were dres<ed in long mourning cloaks, and all had their drums muffled. They played God sae the If lob in a slow and solemn style, as they came to the witer , ide. At ten o'clock, the company not having arrived to till the different barges, the River Ire &des were obliged to proceed towards Green wrieb, leaving them to make the best of their way by themselves. The barges Men, without attending to any Particular order, rowed down the river, singly, as soon as they had taken in their company. At ten o'clock, the Lord Mayor, in a coach and sic, with four servants behind, and attended by the City Officers, arid many of the Aldermen, in their respeaive carriages, proceede I from the Mansion Hole., over Lo-don Bridge, to Greenwich. About seven o'clock, the Heralds and Naval Gig ' cers who were to assist at the Pracession, assembled at the Admiralty, cud from thence proceeded is carriages to Greenwich. About twelve o'clock. all the persons who were to assist in the ceremony, were assembled at the Go vernor's House. The body was then carried from the Saloon through the Great Hall, out at the Easters portal, round the Royal Charlotte Ward, to the North gate, and placed on hoard the State Barge--Abs Coffin was covered with a velvet pall adorned with esencheons.

The way from the Painted Hall to the water's edge, was kept by the Royal Greenwich Vollmteers, and a party of the River Fencibles, armed with boarding pikes. During this procession, the band, mused drums, and trumpets, played The Dead March in Sail; Initiate guns were fired from one of the barges belonging to the River Fenetbles, ani in various parts of the town, and the Church bells tolled a solemn knell. All the ships in the ri ver, displayed their flags, half4nast. 'high.—Ex ally at one o'clock the procession began to move up the river, in the same order as set lords in our Paper of Tuesday last ; the minute guns continuing t o fire, the bells to toll, and the several bands, trumpets, &c. on board the barges, to play solemn reossic. When the whole of the procession had em barked, the Greenwich Volonteers and River Fen cibles, were drawn up in frost of the !Utter, a 1,5 .0 the quays, in the pti-c . pa: ::ot.:t \* ard c: the Ct':- lege, where they remained, at sheet::dereti arms, t.!li the whole were Cu: of s;;;ht.

The barge of the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralPy ; then Tae Lord Mayor, is the City State Barge, and the other barges in the or der mentioned in a fir mer paper. As the processing moved from Greenwich, mi nute grins were fired. rhe crowds of strangers assembled there began to disperse for town, and the gallant old veterans of the I lospital, with sorrow ful countenances, hid the remains of their darling Hero farewell. All the vessels on the river were drawn up close on shore, leaving a fol. and clear passage for the procession. The decks, masts, and 1 rigging, were crowded with people 1 •,, shores 1 , were lined with multitudes of sFcetater ; Iry ..s open ing to the River was filled with people, every eminence commanding a view of it, was completely covered. The steeples of churches, and the roofs of Ironies, in the vicinity of the river, were numerously inhabited. More than 200 people viewed the Procession from Illlt.

Many a beautiful leg was displayed in this extr AO:dinary march, across a bridge or boats, and manF a youth felt happy in assisting the fair iu this i perilous journey. The impression made upon the spedators by the passing scene, was not the least 1 interesting or insttudive part of its Hied. The starting tear, the involuntary exclamation, prov ed the general regret and sorrow for the loss of the deluged Hero, more strongly than the most Folished eloquence. .. Bless his gal lant soul" —•• Oh that he were still alive and well," were ejaculated from a thousand lips. Every gcountenance was marked with sorrow ; every gigesture betrayed emotion.

The number of , s eftators of this part of the Proc .ssion was im- L nse. The tops of all the buildings from Char liilg-cross to the Treasury, including the 'lonic Guards and the Admiralty, were covered with men and women, many of them elegantly drssed. •The seats and edifices prepared for this day, were all filled at half price.

At eleven o'clock, the workmen began to spread the gravel upon Parliament -street, the Straad, Fleet street, and Ludgate Hill, and all carriages were I prevented, after 1 0 o'clock, from passing that way.
