Om, tet g , k 4 14 • SUM LONDON, FRIDAY, OCT. 27, 1865. To-day will long be memorable as witnessing the " last scene of all, that ends this strange eventful history," in the career of one who will hold an honoured place in the history of his country. The feelings that will pervade those who attend the grand ceremonial of to-day will be of a mixed character. They will partake alike of triumph and regret, of joy and sorrow, of proud memories and sad reflections. The funeral array that will make splendid the passage to the grave, and the long train of honoured mourners that will follow the Premier to his last hcme, are significant proofs of the esteem in which he was held by all ranks and classes, by all shades of politicians, and by men of divers employments and distinct interests. A moral may thus be drawn by those who study the pageant, and by those who dwell upon its purport from a dis tance, that not alone in this great metropolis will the obsequies of Lord PALMERSTON be the theme of attention and the centre of thought. His name will be the one uppermost in men's minds, and he will thus be vividly associated with the stirring scenes and active ways of a world that shall hence forth know him no more. He has, however, left an impress of his steps on the way he trod so long, and his countrymen cannot easily or readily forget him. To-day, for the last time, he seems almost to linger among us as a living presence, as the sad cortege proceeds on its way to deposit its honoured burden in the precincts of that time-honoured edifice where rests so many of the and close to where th e mos t ex great and glorious, citing and eventful hours of his life were spent, whose grave now awaits him with all the pomp an d circumstance of woe. No attribute is wanting t o make the funeral of to-day appropriate and fitting, and it is with such satisfaction as can possibly attend the sad affair that we reflect upon the honour and homage that are paid to the memory of the de parted. The young Prince appears to render a last tribute of respect to him who served in the Cabi nets of Sovereigns, and swayed the councils of Europe long before his august mother began her 'glorious reign, and who has yet survived to be her most successful statesman and her most popular minister. The colleagues who leant so much on h i s wisdom, and always turned to him as a resource in difficulties and danger, perform the last office that friends can render, and bear the pall that covers all that is mortal of their departed chief. Ikrany public bodies are represented in the funereal train, and the dignitaries of the land muster in strong force to witness the scene. in this grand display there is a deep meaning, for it is no mere form that tak es place to-day, and no empty show, but a general fe e ling of regret fills the assemblage, and a universal sentiment of respect pervades all within and without the walls of the Abbey-, and at a time like this the mo st volatile may pause to reflect, and the most ignorant seek to be informed as to the chief features which make this day so re markable, and this funeral an occasion for national mourning. Lord PALMERSTON was a thorough Englishman, devoted to his country, and faithful t o her interests. Throughout a long career in its working capacities, far beyond the limits of human energies and exertions, he was found firm at his post and true to his calling. The appreciation of the great body of the people of England has always been through his life his most earnest support, and his most cheering assurance of success, and the sorrow and sympathy of that people who will follow him to-day as he is borne to his honoured resting place. Foreign States have already been able to comprehend in some measure the feelings that made Lord PALMERSTON so popular among us, and now they will find, though he has been called to the land where all things are forgotten, we are not willing to forget his devotion to all interests, his zeal to exert himself for the general welfare, and the genial spirit -which influenced and animated his career. Rising statesmen may derive a useful lesson from the event of to-day, and discover that it is not always the most remarkable men, the most shining, and the most gifted, who do the most for their fellow-men, or who are the most notable in their day and generation. It is not for splendid gifts of oratory, or wonderful feats of statesmanship, that Lord PALMERSTON was famed in his life, or is lamented in his death. It was more in direct acts than positive works that he did amongst us, and yet who can deny that he filled a position all , may well have aspired to, and has left vacant a place that none living can fill among his renowned contemporaries. Perhaps the chief secret of Lord PALMERSTON'S great success was that he did not aim at doing too much, and he studied general results more than he followed out particular purposes. In fact, he never gave one the impression that he was monopolising power to himself, and in this he formed a striking contrast to Sir ROBERT PEEL, whose weight in the Cabinet was considerable, but also at times oppressive. Lord PALMERSTON never inter fered in a conspicuous manner with any of his col leagues, but if they got into trouble they were sure to find a ready aid in him, and he was known never to desert a friend. The last time he addressed the House of Commons on a leading question was in the debate that occurred concerning the doings of Lord WESTBURY. Although unsuccessful in his efforts, the noble lord strove to shield his colleague with all the energy and all the dexterity which characterised his palmier days, and Englishmen will not be sorry to have such a characteristic recol lection for the closing scenes of his parliamentary career. The character of the late Premier was almost totally devoid of selfishness, and this quality rendered him universally a favourite. Sometimes men of the greatest genius and the most talented capacities are too much wrapped up in themselves, and too dictatorial in their manner to be popular among their contemporaries, and are quite out of the run of ordinary minds, and therefore those who would make themselves most useful in their voca tion, and most regretted at their departure from this fleeting stage of mortality, need not think that it is an indispensable necessity for popularity to possess particular abilities. Lord PALMERSTON was be yond doubt a great statesman, and enjoyed many advantages through his facile mode of dealing with complicated matters ; but it is no exaggeration to state that his claim to popular support, and his large share of public favour, did not rest on his skill and his attainments, but chiefly depended upon his public spirit and his personal qualities. It was this rare combination of political eminence with social attractions that made him welcome everywhere, that insured him a cordial reception from the palace to the cottage, from the senate to the marts of industry and the halls of learning, that broke through the trammels of con ventional distinctions, and put down the barriers of political reserve and prejudice. It was thus that with a particular regret we see this great Minister gathered to his rest, for all will miss the genial qualities and gracious manner that served to adorn and soften the rugged road and harsh aspects of official and Parliamentary life. As was said by a distinguished man of a departed worthy of last century, "An awful knell has informed us• that the ashes of our revered statesman are pass ing through ourstreets to that sepulchral house where our kings, our heroes, our statesmen, and our poets will be honoured by an association with his mortal remains, and in the hush that such a solemnity casts upon material things, the fiercest strife of political aspirants are forgotten, and men only re member that the vanity and vexation of earth are over for the departed, and that he has entered on another and a better existence." It has been said by a poet, who was great in his descriptions, that " even in our ashes live their wonted fires ;" and surely Lord PALMEItSTON could have desired no better tribute to • his memory than the general mourning that was witnessed throughout the land when he died, and the spontaneous desire that has been expressed that he should lie down to rest among our noblest and our mightiest, where distant foot steps echo through the corridors of time, and where lives are written in the histories of natims. Our great Minister may well be left in such fitting com pany, and it softens the regret of his departure from among us to know that in the days to come, when all who now witness this pageant have passed away, the future generations of his countrymen may point out his grave to those who come from afar to see the honoured fane where England deposits her most famous sons, leaving their fame in the safe keeping of their survivors. The addresses delivered at the Conservative ban quet held on Wednesday in North Warwickshire were naturally chiefly occupied with the great topic of the day, the death of Lord PALMERSTON, and no more remarkable tribute could be paid to the talents and achievements of the lamented statesman than the cordial unanimity with which men of the most opposite opinions unite in the expression of admira tion and sorrow.. It must be deeply gratifying to the immediate friends of Lord PALMERSTON to re ceive such ev id ence th a t th e g r eat popularity which he enjoyed during his lifetime was not a mere evanescent sentiment, created by his ready tact, his happy adaptation to the public temper of the hour, but was based upo n a deeper and more abiding feel ing, a perfect confidence in his paramount devotion to the interests of his country. Mr. NEWDEGATE observed that some of the foreign journals, in pass ing judgment on his conspicuous career, have denies that Lord PALMERSTON was a great man, but the hon. gentleman might have noticed that the almost unanimous declaration of the Continental p ress i s that he was before all things an Englishman, that he sought above any other advantage the welfare and greatness of his country. The general tribute is, in fact, similar to the spirit of Lord RUSSELL'S famous declaration, that his colleague was the Minis ter not of any foreign Power, but of England espe cially and exclusively. Mr. NEWDEGATE said justly, in referring to the statement that Lord PALMER STON was not a great man, that a man who could pass through such an ordeal as tried Lori PAL MERSTON and end the most popular Premier of his day, must have have been a great man. For 51 out of the 57 years that he took part in public life he held office, and he died leading an Administra tion whose views and opinions were, for the most part, discordant from his own. Yet, as Mr. NEW DEGATE truly- obser ve d, in remarking upon the somewhat anomalous position of affairs, iu which THE SUB, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENMG, OCTOBER 27, 180. he and. his colleague avowedly supported the head of a Radical party, Lord PALMERSTON could be a member of any Cabinet without losing caste. He mentioned his own relations with Lord PALMER STON as a proof that the great statesman was always ready to encourage rising talent. When he first entered the House Lord PALMERSTON took no notice of him, but when after many years he ap pealed to Lord PALMERSTON for assistance in pro curing some official information necessary for the completion of a report on the Tariffs of all nations, which he was then engaged upon, Lord PALMER STON'S manner changed, and thinking, said Mr. NEWDEGATE, " that I had won my spurs," and ever after he showed him kindly consideration. For many years after Lord PALMERSTON'S own entry into the House, he was, said Mr. NEWDEGATE, no speaker. He worked his way up in silence, having always been distinguished for his close attention to business and for the great amount of work which he got through. The long peace which succeeded the passing of the Reform Bill was, Mr. NEWDEGATE considered, principally due to Lord PALMERSTON'S foreign policy, cultivating a close affiance with France, while maintaining the old prestige of the country. Mr. NEWDEGATE'S words on this subject are worth notice in these days of timorous and vacillating councils, when Englishmen are not ashamed to de clare that they are afraid to offend continental nations, and reckon up the millions of their popula tions in a manner that assures us that the days of Poitiers and Agincourt are indeed over. " Depend upon this," said the speaker, " those are, no peace ful councillors who would allow the prestige of England among foreign nations to decline—who would degrade her to the position of being a fol lower of any other Power, or of any other State, in the councils of nations. We are too influential in England, we are too wealthy, we have been too great a nation to take such a position with safety ; and I honour the memory of a man who was the embodiment of a policy sustained with prestige, and who, by sustaining it, maintained the pease of Eng land and all the world through a longer series of years than any Minister before ever held the seals of the Foreign-office." Mr. BROMLEY, Mr. NEWDEGATE'S colleague, spoke in much the same terms, and an incident which he mentioned as having occurred to himself illustrated very forcibly what had been said by the previous speaker about Lord PALMERSTON'S prestige. While travelling in a remote part of the Continent he had great difficulty in getting admittance to a frontier town. In vain he presented his passport, duly signed by Lord ABERDEEN. The absence of his servant and one or two other trifles made Ur offi cials hesitate. Fortunately for Mr. BROMLEY he remembered having in his pocket an old passport bearing the -magic name of PALMERSTON. He showed it to the refractory official, who at once said, " Oh, PALMERSTON ! that's enough." Mr. BROMLEY, quoting the well-known lines on the dotage of MARLBOROUGH and SWIFT, observed that it was a matter of congratulation to all persons that the late Premier died in the full possession of all his vigorous faculties ; and while it is a melan choly thing to see the wisdom and experience so valuable to the country go down to the silence of the grave, yet it is a satisfaction to reflect that the faithful public servant died in harness, and has left a name no less honoured than renowned. Comparatively little was said on general subjects at the Warwickshire meeting, though Mr. NEWDE GATE, in proposing the health of " The Electors," touched upon the two difficult subjects of the fran chise and the game laws. As might, perhaps, have been expected, Mr. NEWDEGATE supports the prin ciple of the game laws, but considers that all diffi culties may be avoided by special and definite agreements being made between landlord and tenant. But so long as the landlords retain their present power over the land and the leases, there will, we suspect, be always fresh troubles springing up under the game law system. As for the fran chise, Mr. NEWDEGATE is again on the unpopular ' side, but his arguments against the:unmanageable nature of large constituencies would apply to the present arrangements, and do not certainly rebut the asserti* that a far larger class has the right to be represented than now possess it. Even Mr. NEWDEGATE, however, confesses that prior to the Reform Bill the Tory party made grave mistakes, and deserved their subsequent exclusion from power. The mistakes then made are not possible in the present state of political feeling and enlighten ment, but let their descendants take heed lest they repeat under another form the errors and the blunders into which passion or prejudice led their predecessors. Mr. NEWDEGATE gave utterance to a truth which certainly the Tories of the old school would have been slow to admit. "England," he said, " cannot afford to stand alone." If she would be safe she must propagate those great principles cf civil and religious freedom which have been at once the growth and the fruit of her own experience and of her native power." Further, Mr. NEWDEGATE declared that England should be ready to hold out the hand of fellowship to every nation that is struggling for that freedom which she herself possesses, a duty which, of late years, our statesmen have been too apt to overlook. Altogether the Warwickshire addresses, if not sufficiently liberal in domestic policy to meet the wants of the time or the requirements of the people, were srtaightfor ward and manly declarations of opinion, while the tributes of respect and admiration paid to the memory of the great man who is this day laid to his rest, spoke at once to the hearts and the sympathies of their hearers. AN AK. " There ars Giants in these days." A Great Man yesterday paid us the honour of a visit—Monsieur Jean Joseph Brice, the Giant of the Vosges Mountains. There may be doubts en tertained as to the Greatness of other Great Men, --but as to his there can certainly be no mistake whatever Anak is the name this truly Great Man is now known by, and as Anak he will on to-morrow (Saturday) make his public appearance for the first time before Londoners, in St. James's Hall, Piccadilly. Then, of course, the public will be enabled to judge for themselves. But in the meantime having seen his Highness M. Brice, or rather that High and Mighty Personage, the modern Anak, now newly arrived amongst us from the Vosges Mountains, we can speak very positively as to his stupendous dimension. Beside him—Chang is dwarfed by four inches ! For—Anak, standing on the soles of his feet, measures to the crown of his head more than Eight Feet in height—measures fully Eight Feet and one inch! Introduced to us yesterday afternoon by that Master of Mysteries, " The Wizard of the North," known to ordinary mortals by his professional title and patronymic, as Professor Anderson, Anak has fairly astounded us by the magnitude of his proportions. Professor Anderson, although himself owning to the goodly height of six feet, looked, when by Anak's side, of no importance of height whatever. And, while the frame of the Vosges Giant is thus gigantic, his features, and the expression of his features, are agreeable to look upon as those of a good-humoured comely man—upon an immense scale—but per fectly in proportion.

Shortly before the arrival of the funeral proces sion the vergers, choristers, and officers of the Abbey proceeded to the great west door to receive the corps acid accompany it to the choir. The pro cession walked slowly along the nave, the singing boys in black scarfs, the choristers with black silk over their white gowns, and the High Bailiff of Westminster bad his silver staff and insignia of office covered with black crape. In a few minutes afterwards the members of the various corporations were conducted to the places assigned them, and im mediately the notes of the organ broke forth, and the funeral moved up the nave in the following order:— The Precentor. Canons. The Deans Verger. The Very Rev. the Dean of Westminster. The Funeral Feathers. The deceased Nobleman's Coronet, on a crimson velvet cushion. THE COFFIN, covered with a black velvet pall, emblazoned with the arms of the late lord, borne by the fol lowing Cabinet Ministers : —Lord Chancellor, Earl Russell, the Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir George Grey, Sir Charles W ood, the Earl of Clarendon, Earl de Grey, and the Duke of Somerset. Chief Mourner, Relatives and Frionds of the deceased. Immediately upon the entrance of the body within the Abbey, the organ pealed out and the choristers sang the words, " I am the resurrection and the life," which have been so beautifully set by Croft. By the time this was finished the choir was reached, and the coffin was placed under the screen, while a portion of the Burial Service was read and chanted. The Psalm was the 90th—the music by Purcell— " Lord thou bast been our dwelling place in all generations." It was chanted with unusual effect by the choir. Then followed the Lessons from Corinthians, chap. xv., " Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of those that slept." The expressive music of this delicious anthem was sung to perfection, and not a note was lost in the sacred building. The service in the choir having been concluded in the procession, was again formed, and it entered in the North transept in the following order : Choristers. The Canons. The Very Rev. the Dean of Westminster, Having on his right His Royal Highhness the Prince of Wales, THE STREET • DEMONSTRATION. If anything were required to show the popularity of the late Premier it would have been found by the appearance of the streets at the West-end this morning. Longbefore the time appointed for the departure of the funeral procession, the neighbourhood of Cambridge House was thronged by persons repre senting every grade in society, from the lowest to the highest. Carriages with emblazonments " crowded the way," and some vehicles of less prententious cha racter put in their claims for notice. But the earnest and fervid feeling of the people was developed by the crowd that assembled outside Cambridge House, the eager demand for the effigies of the departed Statesman, which were hawked about the vicinity, and the comments relative to his protracted career, which were uttered alike by gentlemen and working-men, Englishmen and foreigners, and which might be simply summed up in the words, " that he was a great States man, and that he was truly an English Mini ster." Most of the houses along the route through which the funeral cortege passed were closed, and in some cases black cloth was suspended from the windows, and in the humbler localities surrounding the palatial edifice where the great Minister's re mains temporarily reposed, " drawn shutters" evinced that the inmates were animated by the general feeling of the community, in deploring the loss of one of the most popular statesmen that ever adorned the annals of English history. The arrangements of the police were efficient, and prevented unnecessary obstruction, but at certain points per viam interruptions occurred, that in some instances were rendered serious by the fact that children and women were crushed and borne away insensible, but we are not aware that there was any fatal accident. When the procession left Cambridge House it proceeded very slowly down Piccadilly, where nearly every alternate house was closed, with the blinds drawn down, or, where they were not, filled from basement to attic with faces, male and female, anxious to witness the procession. St. James's Hotel, Piccadilly, was crowded by visitors, and we inferred from their appearance that a large majority were foreigners. The crowd was very large, and it formed, as it were, a funeral procession, partaking seemingly of an embodiment of public feeling of reverence and respect to the illustrious deceased, for it flowed on to Westminster Abbey. The closed shops and the emblems of mourning displayed in shops and dwelling-hous©s testified to the general feeling of the community in regard to the death of Lord Palmerston. The procession reached St. James's-street at half-past twelve, and here the crowd had increased to a great extent. All the principal houses in the street were closed, and the Reform Club was draped from top to bottom. On the procession reaching Charing-cross the coup d'ail presented was of the most imposing character. Trafalgar-square swarmed with human beings, and the Nelson Monument from base to plinth was covered with spectators, while every window had an undue compliment of faces. Ancient Sculptures on the Walls of Caves in Scotland. LETTER FROM PROFESSOR SIMPSON. (To the Editor of the Medical Times and Gazette.) Sir,—ln the Medical Times and Gazette, for October 14, you quote some interesting observations regarding the dis covery of archaic sculptures of animals found within the Dordogne, &c., in France. Perhaps you will grant me a corner in your journal to say that I discovered lately an ancient series of interesting sculptures of animals upon the walls of some caves in Scotland. During last summer, when seeing a patient with Dr. Dewar, I made a rapid visit with him to one or two of the deep and extensive caves upon;the sea shore at Wemyss, in Fife, with the view of finding out if there were any sculp tured concentric rings upon the walls of these caves, being engaged, as I was at the time, in writing out an essay upon archaic ring and cup sculptures as the earliest form of carving left by the hand of archaic man upon stones and rocks in this country. I saw enough in one of the caves which I visited to induce me to go back some weeks subsequently, accompanied by my friends, Drs. Joseph Robertson, Dun; and Paterson. On the walls of some of the caves which we visited on this occasion we found rude incised sculptures of nume rous animals and symbols exactly similar in type and character to those existing on the ancient sculptured stones of Scotland, and which Mr. Stuart has so well represented in his excellent work upon that subject. Amongst the animals sculptured on the walls of the caves we saw figures of the elephant, horse, deer, dog, hare, birds, serpent, and fish. Among the debris on the floor of some of the caves were long bones, of the ox, sheep, ac., split to extract the marrow, and a few rude imple ments. If archaic man carved figures of animals, as has been found in the caves of the Dordogne, upon bone and ivory at a time when his implem en t s an d we apons were of the rudest kind, and not yet metallic, he probably carved also upon the stone walls of the caves in which he sometimes dwelt. And I write this notice principally with the object of pointing out that the walls of our ancient inhabited caves in England, as those of Kent's Hole, Brixham, &c., all require to bo carefully looked over (with artificial light, if necessary), with the view of discovering any early hu man carvings upon them. Will any of our professional brethren who have opportunity aid in such cave researches. No doubt they will constitute an interesting and fruitful subject for anthropological research.—Yours, &c., Edinburgh, Oct. 24. J. Y. Srmrsox. DROUGHT IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—The Adelaide 7 elegraph gives a sad account of the disastrous drought in the "Far North" of South Australia: ---From Port Augusta to Nucealeena the country is destitute of either vegetable or animal life. The Kanyaka and Edi owie stations aro entirely deserted. Of 12,000 sheep on Mr. Peter Ferguson's station it is expected that not ono will be alive in a month's time. The settlers generally aro abandoning the country. M essrs. Dunckel and Lockit, who bought the Chambers Creek Station some time since with 4,000 head of cattle upon it, have only 2,000 left, and they have not branded_a single calf or sold a head of cattle. They have abandoned the head station, and are living under the utmost privations in a hut constructed on the sand near a well. Hay at llokina is .£2O per ton, and oats 13s. 6d. per bushel. Even the tufts of saltbush aro reduced to mere heaps of powder, and the remains of kangaroos starved to death are scattered about the country.' v...-'" And on his left LATEST INTELLIGENCE His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. Mutes and Pages. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) Feathers. The Coronet. THE COFFIN. The pall borne as before. The organ pealing out the funeral march by Beethoven. The dean and clergy stood at the head, while on the sides or foot of the grave were grouped the large body of mourners. The impres sive language of the Service for the Dead was then proceeded with. The anthem of Purcell's " Man that is born of a Woman" was sung, and the coffin was lowered into the grave ; and the Rev. Dean, with a voice distinct and clear—heard over the suppressed sobbings of the mourners—consigned " Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." Before the last echo had died away in the cloistered pile the organ pealed through the sacred edifice, and the choristers sang Handel's " Funeral Anthem," composed for one of our Georgian Queens, the words being altered to suit the occasion— " His body is buried in peace, - But his name liveth for evermore." To the music of this anthem one might apply, without exaggeration, the description that it is " fit for martyrs to play and angels to hear." Then followed the Benediction, and the mournful procession- passed away from the grave as Dr. Tune played the magnificent Dead March in Saul." An effect too solemn to be described was caused just as the last words of the benediction pasSed from the lips of the Dean. The sun had been shining gloriously during the early part of the ser vice, but at the moment we are mentioning the sky became intensely overcast, and the north transept, with its sorrowing multitude, was filled with a deep gloom that had an effect of magnificent solemnity but rarely if ever witnessed before. It was during this peculiar period . that theßrince of Wales, and the Duke of Cambridge, and the Cabinet Ministers, and friends took their last look and farewell of one whose whole ambition through life had been to serve his sovereign and advance his country's greatness.

This afternoon the greatest Englishman of our I day was solemnly interred in Westminster Abbey. They managed those things, however, we cannot but think, with far greater solemnity in the time of our grand-fathers. For, is it not related that some seventy or eighty years ago, six Princes of the Blood R9yal bore the funeral pall of David Garrick, Play-A ctor, Theatrical Manager, Wit and Dramatist, when the remains of that accom plished mimic were laid in the grave in that same old Abbey at Westminster ? To-day, howbeit, no Princes of the Blood proffered the like tribute of respect and admiration to all that was yet left for the nation still to honour of the foremost Statesman, Administrator, and Parliamentary Tactician of the age of Victoria. Ten Cabinet Ministers, how ever, bearing the Pall of the Lord Viscount Palmerston, Knight of the Garter, and what not, of that venerable and Patriotic English man, who was yet Prime Minister of England while breathing his last, although arrived at the great age of Eighty-one—Ten Cabinet Ministers, we say, bearing his pall, formed a very noble sub stitute for the Six Princes of the Blood who bore the pall of David Garrick. Among the concourse of illustrious personages, moreover, who were to-day assembled together under the ancient roof-beams of Westminster Abbey to pay their last tribute of re spect to the great name of Palmerston, was con spicuously observable the Heir Apparent - to the Crown of these Realms, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Other members of the Royal Family were also present-,very noticeable among them being his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief. There, too, were all the great dignitaries of the State. The new Premier, late Chief Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Lord High Chan cellor. The Archbishop of Canterbury—adminis trators—Lords temporal and spiritual—most of the leading members of both Houses, and besides these leaders of men in our generation, a vast concourse gathered together within the Abbey walls from the ranks of the general multitude. Nevertheless, al though there were no doubt immense numbers present to take pan, if only spectators, in to-day's proceedings, those Proceedings were hardly worthy (beyond the simple fact of those numbers) of a great national ceremonial. In point of fact, the only Public Funeral worthy of the name as a National Demonstration, within the range of our own remembrance, was that which conducted the remains of the great Duke of Wellington to the scene of his sublime sepulture in St. Paul's Cathedral. In no way comparable to that, of course, was the Funeral ceremony of this afternoon ; it was by comparison a Public Funeral, as it were, in undress. No Earl Marshal of England or Deputy Earl Marshal presided over the conduct of the day's proceedings. No Garter King at Arms stood beside the open grave, and after reciting the names, styles, and titles of the deceased notability, broke his wand of office in token of the close of the great man's career, and cast the fragments of it afterwards upon the coffin below. Along the path of the Procession from Cambridge-house, Piccadilly, to the Western Porch of the old Abbey, at Westminster, there were (for such honour as the fact we are here an nouncing may be deemed to confer) almost as many people as lined the roadways and footpaths to wel come Garibaldi on his arrival in London. Within the sacred edifice, however, were far greater num bers than were assembled together there a few years since to witness the solemn interment of the remains of Lord Normanby. Within the Abbey the general arrangements were as follows :—The nave was appropriated to the oc cupation of those who have been successful appli cants for tickets. 'They represented the public, and necessarily their number was liMited to about 1,500. The choir was set apart exclusively for the mourners and relatives of the deceased, the members of Lord Palmerston's Cabinet, the dean and canons, the minor canons, and the choristers. - In the south transept, familiarly known as Poets' Corner, there was a lofty gallery erected, rising to the string course of the triforium. This gallery was devoted to the use of the invited peers and com moners who had received special invitations, and who assembled in the Jerusalem Chamber. The sacrarium in front of the altar was set apart for the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and such other repre sentatives of provincial corporations present on the occasion. The ~ eagle," or lecturn, from which the lessons are commonly read, was removed, and upon that spot, when the body was borne into the choir it was rested during the performance of the earlier portion of the burial service. As the south , transept is familiarly known as Poets' Corner, so the north bears its title, the " Statesmen's Transept." Such indeed it is, for there rests all that was mortal of Canning, Pitt, Fox, Castlereagh, Wilberforce, and the " Great Earl"—Chatham. It will be remem bered that beneath the western arches of this tran sept there is a succession of colossal marble monu ments. The one nearest to the door, opening into St. Margaret's Churchyard, is Lord Chatham's. Next to it, and nearer to the choir, is an immense marble construction representing the Sea God and Britannia mourning their heroes, whose names are engraved upon shields suspended upon a trophy. The inscription upon the pediment of this monu mental structure tells that the Ring and Parliament erected it to commemorate the valour of three offi cers, Captain W. Bayne, Captain W. Blair, and Lord Robert Manners, who served under Sir G. Brydges• Rodney. Close to the foot of this monu ment the vault was constructed which received the remains of our late Prime Minister—the grave beyond it, and more in the centre of the transept, being that of Charles James Fox. On the opposite side is Canning's. In the centre, again, beyond Fox's, and nearer the choir, are the graves of Pitt and Castlereagh. The procession commenced to form at Cambridge House shortly before 12 o'clock, and moved off in the following order : Two hundred of the London Irish Volunteers. Sixty of the Romsey Volunteors.
