BIGAMY AiSAiiMEININGEN. A Mr. Frederick, who for several years resided in Devises, has been convicted at Saxe Meiningen of bigamy, and sentenced to be imprisoned for life, and to compulsory labour. The latter part of the sentence has, through the intercession of the friends his last wife, been remitted; but it is presumed former part will be scrupulously carried into The conduct of Mr. Frederick has been .ed by no common turpitude. One of the sales whom he married, by„kkilLailptuntt e fit alluerit in her early life, was precipitateu ny ins knavery into a state of utter destitution. This lady was married in 1815 to a Polish gentleman of con- , siderable wealth, who died in 1822, leaving her to 'the protection of her father and only surviving re lative, a French Nobleman, who, after many sad re verses of fortune, died at Versailles in 1828. On his death she found herself possessed of little else than her private wardrobe and marriage omit besides a tew paintings ; and having ob tained by the sale of some of these paintings a small sum of money, she was retiring into Poland to place herself in a convent. In passing , through Germany she was induced by one of the intimate friends of her late father to remain a short '• time at the Court of Meiningen, where she became acquainted with Mr. Frederick, who represented himself as an English Lieutenant-Colonel, of large property ; and us he possessed polished manners, he received much attention from the Court. Here, by assiduities, falsehoods, fictitious marriage-settle- merits, and ether forgeries, be prevailed on this lady to marry him at Salzungen, on the 14th of August last. Soon after marriage, be obtained her money, sold her wardrobe and jewels to a Jew at Cassel, for about 3001., which he lost a few days afterwards at a gaming table at Pyrmont; and at last, having plundered her of all her little property, he left her, friendless and pennyless, at Hamburg. Mr. Henry Canning, the British Consul there, having examined and verified these circumstances, and relieved her immediate necessities, wrote letters to England in her behalf. As her hus band had attempted to make it believed`that he had drowned himself in the Elbe, and as he had pretended to have property at Devizes, which, at his death, was to belong to his wife, slit was recommended to make inquiry there in person. This she did, and discovered that lie had no re sources from which she could derive present or fu , Lure support. Mr. Frederick, whose right name we . understand is Augustus Frederick Von Duchen haulm, was born in Hanover, and came to England at the commencement of the French revolution, Ile had been an officer In the French Guards, but not choosing to join the democrats, he procured an in ' troduotion to the English Court, and his Majesty George 111. took great notice of him, He was for a short time attached to the 15th Light Dragoons, and while that regiment was quartered at Salisbury lie became acquainted with the only daughter of the , late Rev. Mr. Tricky, a Minor Canon of Salisbury Cathedral, whom he married; but within nyearor two after his marriage lie was compelled to leave England, chiefly, it is supposed, from losses at the gaming table. He served in the Spanish army, during the Peninsular war, under General. Castariez; and on his return to England he obtained a commission as Captain in the 25th Light Dragoons, which he afterwards sold. Ile then lived with his wife in Devizes, until a year previous to her death, which took place in 1829. It is said that lie has altogether married six wives ; his first he ran away with tnto Scotland ; hissecond was Miss Tricky ; a nd, during her life, he married One of his own relatives; but a separation soon took place, on account o f hisbad conduct. He awaited the death of Mrs. Frederick (Miss Tricky) before ire took his fourth, who was a Miss Richards, daughter of a British merchant at Hamburg ; hut, to make amerida, he very shortly afterwards (Mills • "Il la tit t l tu s!,i e ll i a a hve) married the lady whose in s ic b le s i tu , in l tht il t l ibe hove t ;, anti, instead of drown. • tented to her, has since sasialueilniTt e sd it t : 11 repro-its Ctatifritt, ' litnover.

At a late hour on Wednesday night a party of Artillery, with 12 nine-pounders arrived in the Long-walk, from Woolwich, and bivouacked under the trees of that noble avenue. At four o'clock this morning they commenced firing, and continued to fire every minute during the day. At the same time the bells in St. George's Chapel and in Wind sor Church began to tall, and thus gave notice to the inhabitants of Windsor and its temporary visitors that the preparations were all but completed for cur rying their lute Monarch to the tomb of his an cestors. At seven o'clock a couple of mounted sentinels, belonging to the Blues, were stationed at each side of George the Fourth's gateway, more for the sake of show than of any real use. About nine o'clock u crowd began to assemble, for the purpose of obtain ing admission into the apartments where the corpse of his late Majesty was lying in state; ,and from that time till the hour of closing the apartments, the road) leading from the High-street of Windsor to the Castle was filled with a dark moving mass of per sons, either going to or returning from it. About one o'clock the crowd had become so dense, that it was deemed advisable to place a company of the Coldstream Guards loosely across the road, in order to prevent the occurrence of accidents from the se verity of the pressure. Owing to this arrangement the severity passed off without injury to life or limb, and though several young ladies, and some young gentlemen quite as effeminate, complained loudly of the terrible crushing which they underwent, we have not heard that the mischief occasioned by it extended further than to the bonnets of the one sex, and to the coat-tails of the other. This part of the ceremonial was undoubtedly much better arranged on the present occasion than it was on the funeral of George 111., for then the crush was really dreadful. The screams of the women, who, having once got into the crowd, could not extricate themselves from it, gave convincing proof of the agony they endured. Numbers fainted, and were obliged to be carried into the town for medical as sistance. As far as our observation extended, no thing of this sort occurred to-day. At three o'clock the Castle gates were closed, to the great disap pointment of many persons who had come from the country to gratify their curiosity, but who foiled in their object, owing to the late hour of their arrival. It is almost unnecessary to add, that the conduct of those who obtained admission was as solemn and decorous as the melancholy spectacle which they had cSrne to witness required. There was not, however, any display of that intense interest which formed so striking a feature in the conduct of the people at the funeral exequies of George 111. During all this time fresh arrivals were taking place every minute. The town was in a complete turmoil, and the High-street was filled with car riages of every description. Accommodation was diLicplitutt n ik ; and hence it happened, tjaw c ) instances parties volt, Lail nut been Nulno xocure sitting-roem in the inns, were seen regaling themselves as well as they could in the vehicles which had brought them to Windsor. The horses were as badly off as their musters, for the stables were all occupied, and thus they were obliged to stand in the street and devour in their .harness the scanty provender which their drivers could find for them. About two o'clock Sir Hussey Vivian, to whom the command of the troops in the town is entrusted left the Castle, and went along with Colonel Mac denald to Frogmore to meet his Majesty. At half pest two his Majesty and his Royal Consort, who had been escorted from Bushy-park by a troop of Lancers, arrived at Frogmore. It is said that they tend to dine there with the members of the Royal Family previously to the funeral ; and that alter dinner they will proceed from Frogmore to the Ca , tle, to tuke their places in the funeral procession. Various military parties, who are to take a part in the ceremonial, still keep arriving, to the no small dissatisfaction of the different innkeepers, who have to find quarters almost cost free for the officers. We have heard that some of the younger of these gen- tiernen have given themselves very extraordinary airs upon the occasion. Not content with such rooms aq any man might think himself fortunate hi procuring during this bustle, they took possession of all the best rooms at one of the leading inns tvithout any regard to the convenience of those who had previously occupied them. Such conduct no- turally excited the indignation of the landlord, who complained of it to the Colonel in command of the I regiment. The Colonel, who had not himself ob tained a billet, immediately requested the landlord to show him the attics of his house, and having seen one of them, flung his sword on the bed which t contained, saying that it was quite as good a .00m as he wanted, and intimated to the landlord hat if his (the Colonel's) mid= was communi cated to the young gentlemen, it might be of some use in persuading them to follow his example. The landlord acted upon the hint, and in a very short time the rooms which these intruders bud seized were restored to their former owners. Though the town is full of visitors, the only sign of mourning which is visible is their dress. There is no affectation of grief in the countenance—no sound of lamentation in the street. An itinerant ►mendicant has been endeavouring to excite the con►- passion of charitable individuals, by reminding them that since they are as liable to death as their late, Sovereign, they ought to be as charitable as he was to the poor, in order that they may have a treasure stored up for them in Heaven, when they go hence and are no more seen. The fellow did ciliate in supposing that the sympathy created by' this mention of the late King's name would operate advantageously in his own favour. Many people forgot his impudence in their admiration of his Inge nu►ly, and rewarded him accordingly. Being nearly blind, he amused the populace by protesting that he should never look upon the like of his late Majesty again. . At six o'clock a body of cavalry began to line the streets leading to the Castle, keeping a space cleat for the convenience of those who had tickets of ad- mission to the funeral. Shortly afterwards the dif-' ferent regiment of Foot Guards took their position upon the platform in the lower court, according to 'the arrangement which we printed yesterday. At the same time the individuals who had tickets for the north aisle and the lower court began to arrive in great numbers. The Eton boys—who, by the by, were indulged to-day with a holvday—marched in a sort of procession from their 'College to the Castle , a "omPalliett by their tutors and masters, and seemed utmost numerous enough to take the . . ..”._ . 'place by storm. They are to be stationed at the lback of the soldiers in the chapel, where they•willl be able to see every thing without incommoding the, spectators. THE PROCESSION FROM THE STATE CHAM BER TO THE CHAPEL From five o'clock the crowd, which throughout the day was immense in every part - of the town, began to diminish, and the numbers who remained to witness the funeral procession were much less than could have been expected. From the applica tions made to the departments which had authority to issue tickets for the " lower court," it was ex pected that more would be issued than the space in that part of the Castle could conveniently hold ; but this was not the case. At half-past seven o'clock the numbers who had obtained admission were not sufficient to fill one-fourth of the space from which strangers might have an opportunity of witnessing the procession as it moved along. Before seven o'clock, a battalion of the Foot Guards was marched into the lower court, and placed in close file along the sides within the platform on the outside. Strangers were al lowed to stand close to the platform. There were no horsemen standing on the outside, as was the case at the funeral of George 111., and (we believe) at the funeral of the Duke of York. There were a few of the Horse Guards Blue placed at distant intervals outside the line oc cupied by the spectators, but they did not in any way incommode those who came to witness the procession. From half-past seven o'clock until the movement of the procession, the attention of the public was excited by occasional groups of the mi- , litary officers on duty, and of others who were to, form part of the procession, passing and repassine, along the platform. At nearly eight o'clock the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London, Chester, Lincoln, and Winchester, Sirß. Peel, and the Earl of Radnor, passed up the plat form, on their way to the state apartments.. ,Sir R. Peel wore the Windsor uniform. At half-past eight the trumpets and kettle-drums announced that the preparations for the movement of the procession had commenced. A band of trumpets and drums were placed at that part of the platform which entered the lower court. They played the " Dead March in Saul," and continued playing until the procession advanced to where they were stationed. It was now past twilight, and flambeaux were given to every fifth soldier at each side along the line, the effect of which, when lighted, was very imposing. From the moment the trumpets and drums began, the utmost silence prevailed amongst the spectators. Every voice was hushed, and nothing was heard but the music, and the tread of some officer who occasionally passed along the platform. At the moment when the procession began to move two rockets were let off as a signal to the artillery in the Long-walk, which then commenced firing minute guns, and con tinued until another rocket announced that the ce remony was concluded in St. George's Chapel, and that the mortal remains of his late Majesty were consigned to the tomb of his ancestors. It was im. possible to conceive any thing more imposing than the appearance of the procession as it entered that part of the platform which was situated in the !owe, court. The slow and solemn music, the silence of the spectators, the sombre appearance of the troops leaning on their reversed muskets, and the stillness and serenity of the evening, all contributed to make the spectacle interesting. Overal THE NORTH AISLE. About half-past nine the procession began to show itself in the interior of the Chapel. It was more numerous than usual, more pompous, more gawdy, and yet the general impression was, that it was more tumultuous than magnificent—more pretending than interesting. When the Royal Body appeared, not a single mark of sympathy was exhibited, but an in. tense curiosity was expressed to see the present King as mourner. This curiosity was all but dis appointed, for his Majesty not having the ostentatious presence of some of the branches of the Royal Family, was not easily discerned, and was besides almost hidden by a numerous retinue of supporters. Minima est pure ipso Monarchasui. The Duke of Cumberland vine (vise 04-vieibie as any person- count Mei, nor was the grave presence of Prince Leopold ~ l iffictilt to be discovered. The Duke of Wellington, being small in person, was not perceptible to the anxious eye of the spectators, but they had an oppor tunity of expiating on the portly appearance of the Duke of Buckingham. We cannot dismiss this por tion of the solemnity without stating, in the most emphatic terms, that nothing could be worse ma rived than this branch of the ceremonial, as far as regarded the spectators—no small part of any publie l pageantry. It seemed as if the servants of the ' household, the friends of the carpenters and, up-' holsterers, the petty tradesmen of the town, had been admitted to the exclusion of all those who,' from public character or official situation, ought to have been allowed a free access to the funeral of the Sovereign. We never saw so motley, so rude, so ill managed u body of persons. They who first entered, not only seized the best places, but prevented otheis from taking any. As far, therefore, us regards the North Aisle, there was nothing to attract the atter:- don of the discerning spectator, but the noble ap pearance of the Life Guardsmen, who lined the two sides of the avenue, from the door of the aisle to the entrance of the choir. Without them, and the beautiful music, the procession would have been not merely a tedious but a paltry pageant. With them, it excited some attention, but not sufficient to repay the time lost previous to its arrival, and ex pended during its passage. THE CHOIR. About ten o'clock the funeral procession entered the choir; the sound of the trumpets and muffled kettle drums had been previously heard, ,and the notes of the solemn service of the funeral ; "nothing (could be finer than the performance of the " Dead IVlarch in Saul," by the band of the Household Troops. . _ _ The choir, under the direction of Sir 'George Smart, took' a part in the service as the coffin en tered ; the Dean, Sub-Dean, and Canons of Saint George's Chapel were at the south door to receive the procession. - The choristers of the Chapel Royal took their station at the entrance with wax ,tapers, and Sir George Smart commenced the vocal part of the burial service, aided by Messrs. Knyvett, Vaughan, Sale, Salmon, Hawes, 'Welsh, Gould ,ng., and Clark. The music was from Handel, Purcell, and Croft. It commenced with the tiublime passage—. I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live : and whosoever lived: and believeth in me, shall never die. —John xi. 25, 26. " I know that my Redeemer lived:, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. And though Mier my skin, worms destroy this body; yet in my flesh shall I see God : whom 1 shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.—Job xix, 21, 26, 27. " We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can earry,nothing out. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the same of the Lord."- 1 I Tim. vi. 7—Job!. 21. At this part of the service the procession had ad vanced through the great door of the organ-loft, and the heralds had marshalled it upon the floor of the choir. The King was immediately behind tbo coffin, robed in a magnificent purple velvet cloak, decorated with a large star: 'he walked to the edge of the aperture which led to the tomb, where a chair, covered with black v e l vet , was provided fur his Majesty's use. There was some bustle by the Heralds in ushering the members of the procession to their several stalls. The Dean and Canons ad -1 vanced within the rails of the chancel, filing off right and left before the communion table, which was covered with massive plate. The Dukes of Devonshire, Buckingham, St. Alban's, Beaufort, &e. took their seats in the stalls in the body of the choir- The Earl Marshal stood near his Majesty, and the Duke of Wellington, who was in his Field- Marshal's uniform, remained behind his chair duringl the service. Upon purple velvet stools at each side, of the Royal vault, sat as mourn ers w i th his Ma-I, 4 jolty, their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Cumber-1 land, Sussex, Gloucester, and Prince Leopold. '1 heir mourning cloaks were richly embroidered, and Prince Leopold wore a General's uniform. A dense mass of noblemen and gentlemen filled the body of the choir, and there was a gloom and duskiness fiom the smoke of the tapers and flam beaus of the military and choristers which was ill calculated to give picturesque effect to such a ce remonial. The arrangement was as follows, but the line of the order was occasionally much broken Trumpets and Kettle Drums, and Drums and Fifes of the Foot Guards. Drums and Fifes of the Royal Household.

I will keep my mouth as it were with a bridle : while the ungodly la in my sight. " 3. I held my tongue and spake nothing : I kept, silence, yea, even from good Torch; but it was pain 4 sna grief to me. " 4. My heart was hot within me, and while I was thus musing the fire kindled : and at the last I spake with my tongue ; 5. Lord, let me know my end, and the number of my day. : that I may be certified how long I have to live. " 6. Behold, thou halt made my days as it were a span long and mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee, and verily every man living is altogether vanity. " 7. For man walketh in a vain shadow, and dis quieteth himself in vain he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them. "8. And now, Lord, what is my hope: truly my hope is even in thee. " 9. Deliver me from all mine offences: and make me not a rebuke unto the foolish. " 10. I became dumb, and opened not my month: fo: it was thy doing. " 11. Take thy plague away from me: lam even con sumed by the means of thy heavy hand. " 12: When thou witit rebukes dost chasten man for sin, thou makest his beauty to consume away, like as it were a moth fretting a garment : every man therefore is but vanity. " 13. Hear my prayer, 0 Lord, and with thine carol consider my culling : hold not thy peace at my tears. " 14. For I am a stranger with thee: and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. " 15. 0 spare me a little, that I may recover my strength : before I go hence, and be no more seen." PSALM XC. " 1. Lord, thou bast been our refuge: from one gene ration to another. "2. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made : thou art God from everlasting, and world without end. " 3. Thou turnest man to destruction : again thou gayest, Come again ye children of men. " 4. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yes terday : Peeing that is past as a watch in the night. " 5. As soon as thou scatterest them, they are even as a sleep : and fade away suddenly like the grass. " 6. In the morning it is green, and groweth up : but in the evening it is cut down, dried up, and withered. " 7. For we consume away in thy displeasure : and are afraid at thy wrathful indignation. "8. Thou Last set our misdeeds before thee: and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. " 9. For when thou art angry, all our days are gone : we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told. " 10. The days of our age are threes Core years and ten ; and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years : yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow ; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone. " 11. But who regardeth the power of thy wrath : for even thereafter as a man feareth, so is thy displeasure. " 12. So teach us to number our days ; that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. " 18. Turn thee again, 0 Lord, at the last : and be gracious unto thy servants. " 14. 0 satisfy us with thy mercy, and that soon : so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life. " 15. Comfort us again now after the time that thou, Last plagued us : and for the years wherein we have suffered adversity. " 16. Show thy servants thy work : and their children thy glory. " 17. And the glorious majesty of the Lord our God be upon us: prosper thou the work of our hands upon us,' 0 prosper thou our handy-work." After the Psalms, the Dean read the lesson, and the choir performed the first anthem by Kent, us ,follows PSALM LV. " Hear my prayer, 0 God, and hide not thyself from my petition. " Take heed unto me and hear me: how I mourn in my prayer, and am vexed. "My heart is disquieted within me and the fear of death is fallen upon me. " Then I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove: then would I flee away, and be at rest." And then, immediately before the collect, " 0 merciful God I" the second anthem by Handel. " When the ear heard him, then it blessed him; and when the eye saw him, it gave witness of him. " He delivered the poor that cried, the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. Kindness, meekness, and comfort were in his tongue. If there was any virtue, and if there was any praise, he thought on those things. " His body is buried in peace. " But lila name liveth evermore." Then the " Dead March in Saul." The Dean of Windsor read thehrst part of the service from the altar, and the cort:Wsion from the right side of the vault. This solemn and impressive ritual derived no advalitho'Carif the Dean's style of reading. The performance of the Psalms and anthem lasted nearly two hours, and when the fine anthem of " His body is buried in peace," was chanted, his Majesty rose from his seat and retired by the door under the Queen's closet. After his Majesty had retired, and at the conclusion of the service, Sir George Nayler proclaimed the titles of his Majesty, and broke his wand of office into the grave. A solemn voluntary was then played by the organist : as it was concluded, before the procession left the chapel, it was followed by the" Dead March in Saul," which was continued until the procession had again returned into the open air. His Majesty recognized and conversed familiarly with the persons who were around him; and ex pressed his thanks to the Earl Marshal, and the principal official conductors of the ceremony, as he retired from the choir.- The coffin was only lowered about two feet below 'the aperture of the subterraneous passage; the 4plendid pall was removed, as the body was lowered, and the state coffin exposed to view. A number of persons crowded around the vault when the cere mony was concluded : among them were the Dukes of St. Alban's and Athol; the Marquisses of Clan ricarde, Salisbury, Hertford, and Conyngham ; the Speaker of the House of Commons, &c. The Duke of Wellington left the choir immediately after !he King, and joined his Majesty in the aisle of Ed ward IV.'s tomb. His Grace conducteti the King to his carriage in the lower ward, by the gate lead-, lug from the cloisters, and his Majesty drove off,i escorted by a party of Lancers—some persons said to Frogmore, others to Bushy Park. The Queen was not present, nor was the Duchess of Cumberland ; the closets intended for their reception were filled by gentlemen of the household. As soon as the ceremony was over, the people of Windsor were generally admitted through the choir. The coffin was afterwards deposited upon the stone table of the mausoleum. It was a singular incident, as connected with this mournful ceremony, that the works in the choir were hardly finished when the procession itself was ac tually in motion from the grand staircase of the state apartment. The carpenters had barely finished the canopy over the vault, and the shavings were un• ' ass ept from the floor, when the minute Funs of the park announced the funeral to be in motion. As the' King departed from St. George's Chapel, a rocket was discharged from the parapet, which was the signal for the cessation of the din of the minute guns in the Long Walk. Patrols of military thronged the Dutchet-road during the night, and the road to town was filled by vehicles of all descrip tions, on their return from Windsor. THE APPEARANCE OF LONDON. Though the chief scene of interest was 'Windsor, on account of the august and solemn ceremony which we have above described, yet the appear ance of this great capital was of a kind to excite and arrest attention. The Lord Mayor had culled upon the citizens by public notice, to show respect, to the day of his late Majesty's funeral, and the call ; wits not only readily and generally, but zealously and almost universally complied with. Every shop and plac e o f public lousiness w as c l osed, and in a great number of instances the shutters even of the private dwellings were up. The streets, however, were pretty closely thronged with passengers during the day, the consequence in part of the cessation of all ordinary business, and in part of the anxiety to witness some part of the ceremony at Windsor, to wards which numbers were seen hastening in the early part of the day. The continued tolling of the bells, especially in those quarters of the city which are thickly studded with churches, had an extremely solemn and mournful effect. The intervals of the tolling were, as regularly as possible, one minut, each during the day, There has not been any gt neral performance of public worship at the cit churches, but it is presumed that the solemn occasion will be adverted in the discourses delivered by all tl the metropolis, as well as throughoi nerally. In the evening the streets were than during the day. This was to the firing of the cannon at the Tot Park. Till a late hour last night, 01 morning, Fleet-street, the Strand, great thoreughfares of the town, thronged. We cannot, however, crowds either any solemn expressiol much decorum of behaviour. The the police was probably required in than one. Sixty minute-guns were fired a, places :—At Gravesend, from six uni at Purfieet, from seven to eight; at lei& to nine • at the Tower of Lc), to ten; at S t.

JAMES'S, CLERKENW: The service commenced here at six church was, as usual upon such mel lion', hung with black. ' After the conclusion of the service, addressed the very numerous and r gregation assembled, taking his text Psalm :—" Put not your trust in Prim son of man, in whom there is no help. goeth forth,—he returneth to his earth(' very day his thoughts perish."
