Unseat made, and the stillness was painful, as it ;,I allowed the toning ofs.the funeral knells and the sullen reverberating echo of the mietute guns to be, .loudly and distinctly audible throughout the chapel.l I . 41 It is strange that, while even the loudest peals of 1 . the organ can scarcely be heard beyond t h e build - A :mg, not a footstep passes, and not as word is spoken loud outside, which cannot be plainly distinguished in almost every part of the chapel. Thus it was Tyesterday that, as 12 o'clock drew near , the quicker; !Altair minute tolling from all the spires of Windsor] 1--eemed to fill the very chapel with their mournful! lbooms, and amid all the crackling sound of the long 'procession approaching over the gravel came nearer ~ ,I, e ry minute. With the first tokens of its approach ;, the head of the funeral procession was formed two deep, passing along down the south aisle and up the centre of the nave to near the choir. The south door was then opened, and Lord George Lennox, hearing the Field Marshal's baton, sword, and hat , of the deceased Prince, followed by Earl Spencer, carrying his crown, entered the aisle. In a minute afterwards the coffin was carried in by ten bearers and laid upon the bier. Here it was entirely hidden Lunder the heavy black velvet pall, adorned at the, hides with large funeral escocheons bearing the arms !%of her Majesty and the late Prince on separate. Shields. Both shields were surrounded by the Gar ter and surmounted with their proper Crowns; first, those of the Queen were on a ground of silver 1 ''' tissue; those of the late Prince on deep black; so :',. that the contrast betweeii these rich armorial bear ings was as startling and marked as that be tween the white border of the pall and its gloomy , centre. When all was arranged the Lord Chamberlain, accompanied by the Vice-Cham berlain, Lord Castlerosse (only four months ago 'the genial host of his late Royal Highness at Killarney), proceeded up the choir to Wolsey's chapel, where the Royal mourners had already assembled, and who at once slowly crossed the chapel and took their stations in the south aisle at: ithe head of the corpse. The Prince of Wales, as ' it, chief mourner, stood in the centre ; on his right was Ithe little Prince Arthur; on his left, the deceased . Prince's elder brother, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, remained at the head of the coffin motionless. The Prince of Wales bore up with great fortitude, and though he, like all the rest, at times gave way to irrepressible bursts of tears, he The cold, bleak, wintry aspect of the day at'i Windsor was mournful and cheerless enough, but oven its empty streets and rows of muffled windows ; had an air almost of light and life compared with the - ippearance of St. George's Chapel. The aspect of this was alone enough to impress with gloomy awes' i It least, if not with grief, evea unconcerned specta [ !ors, if any such could possibly have witnessed the r mournful rite of yesterday. The silence of the graveV itself was in and round the sacred building--a silence . never broken, save by the deep, slow, muffled toiling;', lof the funeral knell, which every minute seemed tcr.' ;sweep down with the wind and rush with stealthyk .-: noise upon the gloom within. There was a dumb, cadaverous air about the Chapel, swathed in itg , ., !ghastly trappings of black and white ; there was a !hushed look about the attendants, a few of whom::: ;,:; I were still busy moving to and fro completing they' last details, and all of whom showed such ev q dences of grief as were painful even to thqi lookers-on at this 'most solemn ceremonial.k F ile huge and most sombre-looking painted glasvt' window of the Ascension of Our Lord, placed by George 111. above the Communion-table, at the east end of the church, let in but little light, barely enough to distinguish forms amid the obscure, black gloom of the choir beneath.,, !Even the rich banners of the Knights of the Garter, ` tall bedizened as they aro with heraldic emblazon- purple and t zure, red and gold, seemed to be: ironed down by the general gloom, and to become fin their stiff lifelessness as a part of the mourning-' iinsignia. The late Prince Consort's banner, guartered with the arms of England and Gotha, is left ;still floating on the right of the pale silver embroi- ' Ithrecl standard of her Majesty, while in the oaken 'stall beneath a silver-gilt escocheen, placed beside, those of many foreign Princes of the House of Bruns- wick, bears his ducal arms, and proclaims in quaint ; old Norman French his style, and titles, and date of installation. - What strange vicissitudes of time: and change these old stalls record and press upon the notice; what disjointed but significant chapters of history are told by each escocheon, when near that of our gracious Sovereign we see the banner of the Emperor Napoleon waving over the stall of !Louis Philippe, occupied before him by Louis XIII lof Bourbon, before him again by the heads of the great House of Montmorenci, who were Constables of France, and before all by the English Knights who were the first Governors of Calais ! The event of yesterday was one which history will record with mourning, but even at such a time it was difficult to repress the reflections these escocheons suggested. Whole families of dynasties, whose styles and titles dare here so gaudily emblazoned, have passed away like a tale that is told, yet with ourselves each cen tury has only knit strongly and more strongly the bond of love and kindly feeling between the Sovereign and the people. Now each affliction that visits her Majesty visits all throughout the land, and yesterday her Royal husband, the com fort of her life and guide of her throne, was laid !to rest amid the grief of millions, who still in the (IRNAMENTS for the Drawing-room, Library, ; sorrow of their hearts look to their Queen and yearn 1 , vv nd Dining-room, consisting of a new and elegant assort- almost in tears to comfort her in this her greatest ment ,f VA SES, Figures, Groups, Candlesticks, Obelisks, Ink- b e reavement—in this the darkest hour of her' stands, heautiful inlaid Tables, Paperweights, &c., in I talian,; Alabas cr, Parian, Marble, Bronze, Derbyshire Spar, widowhood&c.ta, Imported and manufactured by JAMES TENNANT, Mine-r 1 ”alogist to her 11kiesty, 149.

The interior of the Chapel itself differed Tittle from the aspect of solemn gloom and statel3 !mourning it always wears on these most mournful 'occasions. A raised platform had been constructed down the centre nave, leading from the south en e . ance to the choir, with balustrades dividing it f. TOM the north and south aisles. All this, of course. !was carpeted and draped with black, so that the .1 change, though slight in fact, being one of colour. !completely altered the aspect of the fine old build ing. The basement seemed black everywhere— A 'black over nave and aisles and side walls, am', , deeper and more dense than all seemed the black within the dimly-lighted choir, where the empty oaken stalls and vacant canopies of the Knights of the Garter gave a still more desolate aspect to the scene. The steps leading to the Communion table. the Communion table itself, even the walls at the back, were hung with solemn black, and thus the groined arches and fine white fluted columns of the building had, by contrast, a bleak, shrunk, ghastly look; while over all beneath, so absorbing was the dark hue that it was difficult at times to distinguish the forms of the attendants as, clad in deep mourn ing, they crowded the floor, like shadows flitting noiselessly to and fro. So complete was this muffled obscurity of the basement that all the steps leading to the stalls would have been quite undistinguisb able but that the outline of each stair was marked Bong its edge with a thin line of white, which, if possible, gave a still more cadaverous and skeleton; aspect to the whole interior. Only one thin nar row strip of white broke the darkness of the centre of the floor, stretching from the west end of the nave to the front of the Communion table. This was laid to guide the assistants, who, when covered completely by the pall, would have to move the heavy bier up the centre of the Chapel to the platform, where it was to be lowered to the passage leading to the Royal vault. This thin line ended at a broad square aper- Lure in the floor, the external entrance to the Royal tombhouse below; though the mouth of this gloomy chasm, with its cloth-lined walls, was so little dis tinguishable amid the general blackness that, had not its edge been marked with white bands, it might have been dangerously overlooked by those engaged in the choir beneath. But in all this there was no: much that differed from other Royal funerals. The north and south aisles were carpeted with black and along the raised dais in the centre of the nave at either side were rows of seats for the servants of the Royal Household and the bailiffs and others con nected with the management of the late Prince's farms. There was also a gently-sloping incline, leading from the:southern door up to the dais, fen the passage of the bier; but, except in these parti culars, the arrangements were precisely the same as those made for the funeral of the late Duchess of Kent.

The Duke of Saxe•Coburg, who was devotedly attached to the deceased Prince, to whom he bears a strong resemblance, was deeply moved and wept incessantly throughout the ceremony. The Crown Prince of Prussia, too, was equally affected. Poor tittle Prince Arthur's grief was enough to move the sternest. He, of course, made no attempt to check or hide his feelings.

At the same time Lord George Lennox, Lord of the Bedchamber, laid the baton of the late Prince as Field Marshal, crossed with the sword) and surmounted with the Field Marshal's hat andl plume, on the foot of the coffin, above the insignia ,of the Garter. All these memorials were fastened' Ito the heavy black velvet cushions on which they were laid. Thus left alone in the midst of,! Ithe wide expanse of black, the melancholy 1 , gorgeousness of the crimson coffin stood out the; lone conspicuous centre in startling contrast, almost,' the only solitary object in all the Chapel which was not covered with black and draped in solemn( mourning. As this last ceremonial ended the at tendants retired from the grave, and there was a silent pause, during which, as the wind mourned hoarsely against the casements, the quick sharp rattle of the troops outside reversing arms was; plainly audible.: Then came the muffled toll; of the bell, the boom of the minute guns, and the; coffin slowly and at first almost imperceptibly began to sink into the grave. There was more than mourning at this most solemn time. The Princes hid their faces and sobbed deeply. All, not in the Royal train, bat in the chapel, allowed their tears to flow almost un checked, and some, such as the Crown Prince of Prussia and the personal attendants of his late' Royal Highness, among the pall-bearers seemed not less deeply moved for a time than the Royal orphans themselves. Still, the coffin continued to . sink. It is but a few short months ago since4he !ate Prince stood at the head of the same sombre opening and wept as the remains of the Duchess of Kent were in the same manner lowered slowly to the Royal mausoleum. The ceremony then was gloomy and mournful enough, though, after all, it was but the burial of a member of the Royal family • long retired from 'public life, full of years and 'donours, and one who had already passed the term :allotted to mankind. But here, with the Prince Consort, the husband of our Queen, a young man in the pride of life and usefulness, of health and strength and manly beauty, the loss seemed more than could even then be realised; and it was diffi cult—it seemed almost impossible to believe that the coffin then so slowly creeping down the wide black groove held all that was mortal of Prince Albert. It was a solemn , period, and a most trying one for the mourners) If stifled sirrhe were audible f land handles as bright, as on the day when they' were first laid there many years ago.

Along this passage we have de scribed the bier of the late Prince was wheeled till the foot of the coffin was at the gates of the Royal ivault. There it remains, though it was not left tc the gloom of its dark and narrow home till some dear memorials of love and fond regret from the :bereaved Queen and children, whom he has so un timely left, were sorrowfully deposited by kindred hands upon the coffin. Yesterday a Queen's mes-. senger brought from Osborne to Windsor three little wreaths and a bouquet. The wreaths were simple chaplets of moss and violets, wreathed by the three elder Princesses—the bouquet of violets, with a white camellia in the centre, was sent _by the widowed Queens 'Between the heraldic insignia t these last tributes from his widow and orphan daughters were laid upon the coffin —mementoes of domestic love and worth above all heraldry that ever was emblazoned.

The' silence within the Chapel was intense—every movement among those present could be distinctly heard; the wind moaning round the building sounded with a hoarse rush, which now and then was almost noise, and the muffled knells from all the; spires of Windsor seemed booming above the Royal grave itself.

Longworth Yelverton, said c ais first objection was to a great part of the evidence ! taken by the comm i ss i oner a t Manchester—na.inely, ithe evidenc e o ff ere d b y t h e d e f en d er w ith regar d t o is Lon s g ia e w ort had h 'S be !llienoth er was by of the ancestry a n d prev i ous lif e o f th e pursuer.. An !immense deal of p roo f h a d b een o ff ere d at Mrimehes t !plebeian extracti on , an d that before the pursuer heard t met o prove Major that :Miss Yelverton Dr. Alsop. All eviden ce o f th i s kind, however, courted was perfectly irrelevant to the question at issue, for a person of the humblest rank was as much en- Titled to justice as the highest. The question was whether those persons were married, and it would 'just be as competent for the pursuer to call evidence hat Major Yelverton was a man of immoral con- Juct, as to prove that the pursuer was not of pure Jloo d. Even if the defender had proved that the !pursuer had deceived him on the question of her lineage, that would constitute no ground in :aw f or nullity of marriage. There was also an attempt o n lthe part of the woman Alsop, who was actuated by jealousy, to show that the pursuer was not legit], :nate, that her parents were not married; but what course was the pursuer to adopt ? Was she to be called upon to lead counter proof to show that her parents were married, which he must do if this were Held to be relevant evidence. Lord Ardmillan said the pursuer was entitled to justice, legitimate or illegitimate ; but as she had chosen to make statements on the record, and had called her relative, the Countess de Prinnsay, as a witness to speak to her own parentage, the defender must also be allowed to lead evidence in the same matter. Mr. Fraser— She called a lady of quality to prove her identity ; but, even supposing that an irregu larity had been committed in taking that evidence, was the irregularity to go on after the objection was taken P He granted that the defender was entitled to meet whatever line of evidence was opened by the pursuer, yet when the objection was made to this proof, taken at enormous length, being nearly half the defender's proof, and consisting of an attack on the lineage of the pursuer, and at tempting to show that her father and mother were not married, that her mother's three brothers were engaged in trade, and that her grandmother kept a shop, surely the court was bound to give effect to the objection. Equally irrelevant was this attempt to show that the pursuer's conduct in former days had been somewhat light, and that before she met Major Yelverton she was in love with Dr. Alsop. All this was to set up a collateral issue which was no part of the res gestee of the case. The whole object of this proof was to throw dirt on the plarsuer,and all applied to a period before her intimacy with the defender had commenced. Now, it would be a great cost and waste of time to get up proof in answer; and in making his objection to this proof the only reply was, not that it was relevant, but that the pursuer began it. Lord Ardmillan—l do not place any weight on this proof; for the humblest person of the worst lineage was entitled to justice; but if the one side of this proof was relevant, so was the other. • Mr. Fraser proceeded to refer to his other objec dons. He objected to the evidence of Mr. Tippets, the London solicitor for Mrs. Forbes Yelverton, on the ground that he was an agent in the cause. Mr. Millar, for the defence, repudiated the im putation of attempting to throw dirt at the pursuer. All the defender had done was to strip the case of any little meretricious effect the pursuer had had endeavoured to throw around it. They had 'imply brought out what they believed to be the facts of the case, leaving it to his Lordship to deter mine its competency, and value of the evidence. He did not say that to enable the pursuer to succeed tf her case were otherwise good, she was called on - o give any account of herself at all, but if she chose - o set forth circumstances which she thought would ;ive strength or effect to her case, then undoubtedly , he must stand the result of inquiry by the defender nto all the circumstances. He sympathised with • he pursuer in thinking it would have been better lot to have called any evidence in this matter, but when the pursuer attempted to make herself out to le a great lady, and to cast a halo round herself by showing her fine feelings and susceptibilities, was ,he to be entitled to say to the defender, " You ;han't inquire whether my statements are true P" It ,vas true that all this evidence did not affect the •vain issue, but the pursuer had chosen to make a collateral issue of her character and status and they must meet her upon that issue. Mr. Millar defended rho admission of Mr. Tippet's evidence on the ;round that he was not an agent in the cause, al though he had been employed as an agent on a mat ter arising out of the same cause. Mr. Fraser, in reply, objected to the evidence as 'to ancestry and character being left on the record In two practical grounds. The first was that it would be extremely expensive and troublesome to meet it, and the second was that it was utterly irre levant to the case. With the former ground the court, of course, had nothing to do, though it weighed very much with the pursuer's counsel; but )11 the second ground the court was bound to pro tect the court from the attempts of parties to encum ber the procedure with a great amount of useless irrelevant matter. Here were a great number of stories and collateral issues which had nothing at sll to do with the present case, and could not affect it one way or another. Here was a story about a Dr. Alsop having at some former period courted Kiss Longworth. Mr. Millar—Miss Longworth courting him. ;Laughter.) Mr. Fraser—Well, he courted her, or she courted him. That had been thrust into the record by the defender, and why were they (the pursuer's counsel) to be forced to meet a piece of scandal of that kind ? Then the question about her legitimacy was thrust in, without ever having been raised by the pursuer, and it also had no bearing on the case, even although it were proved. As to the point about her ancient family, it had only been stated incidentally by the pursuer, and it might or might not be corrected without prejudicing her case one way or another. It might be quite true that her three brothers were engaged in trade, and it might be a very interesting family inquiry whether it could be shown that the Longworths had not been at the battle of Bosworth-field ; but to erush a quantity of gossip and scandal of that kind into the record, and force the pursuer to meet it was exceedingly hard. Lord Ardmillan—That is not the point. Ido not think the evidence of the slightest value in the ease one way or the other. It is vain to suppose that the lady can be either the better for her long lineage or her short lineage in this particular case; but I never heard of a defender being refused leave to follow the pursuer into a line of evidence which the latter had originated. Atter some further debate about the evidence of Mr. Tippets, in which his lordship expressed his opinion that he was clearly an agent, but that the objection had not been taken at the proper time. Lord Ardmillan intimated that he would issue an interlocutor admitting the evidence already given by the defender, leaving it to be met by the pur ,suer, because he could never allow one party to e make testative statem ents, and to withdraw them 4 fter evidence had been prod need against them. A letter from Cannes, of the 19th, says :—" On . the death of General Bowater, Prince Leopold was removed from the Villa Leader to the Hotel Bellevue, in the neigh- Abourhood. Lord Brougham was so greatly affected at learning the death of the Prince Consort , th a t h e wa s fur ue time ill and unable to leave his room. His lordship is flow recovered and in his usual health." [ADVERTISEMENT ]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.- -Erysipelas, Cancer, Ulcers, Hemorrhoids, or Piles, Poils, and Prickly Heat, are treated with unvarying success by this mild yet p:_notrating unguent. The vast consumption of these remedies in India and throughout the East is a better proof of their excellence than the testimony of any individual. They would not be in such demand in all our distant dependencies and colonies if they had not been found so almost universally beneficial. Few internal or external diseases can withstand their joint influence—Whilst the Ointment cools, soothes, and remedies outward complaints, the Pills, by purifying the blood, improving digestion, and stimulating the kidneys, thoroughly throw out from the system those subtle corruptions which engendfsr erysiEelaa and its associates, NEW WORK BY Z ADKIEL ITIIII: VOICE OF THE STARS.-Ist January, L 18(12. price Cd., published quarterly.
