eagerness as to whether he knew any thing of the matter ; and each succeeding person interrogated gave a different answer from the preceding one. At about a quarter past eight, it was announced that the procession was moving along the road at the other extremity of the Park, and instantly the whole crowd streamed off with all the speed in their power to the Oxford street gate. Here they found the same uncer tainty prevailed as at Hyde Park-corner ; and, after having waited for half an hour, another re port was circulated that the procession was going along Knightsbridge. Immediately the whole Park was covered with a moving cloud of um .=:brellas; the people having made their way over all parts of the wall along the Edgeware-road, and directing their course back again to Hyde- Park-corner. Still the route remained unascer :anted. But the greater number appeared ;o conclude, from the stationary appear ance of some of the Frktidly Societies' flags, which, with emblems of mourning attached to them, were waiting the arrival of the proces iton, that it would certainly pass that way. How evn, once more (in consequence of the arrival horseman with the intelligence,) it • was -441 - clerstood that the procession was about to pass e other. way ; and again the immense multitude roiled back the whole length of Hyde-park to the Edv;eware-road, and again disappointment :;lotle awaited them. The angry feeling excited against the authors of this Suspense became con .sitlerabiy enhanced by a suggestion, that the different horsemen who had given the false in telligence at various times, were persons expressly employed-to deceive the people with unfounded - reports, and thereby call off their attention from the direction in which the procession was to move. At this period the whole length of the Edgeware road was thronged to excess as far as we could see ; and vast numbers made their way to the Paddington-road, under the impression that that -was the destined route. A long line of carriages also blocked up each of the various roads through which there was any chance of the procession passing. It now approached to 11 o'clock, when at length the arrival of one or two horsemen from Hammersmith,who informed the anxious inquirers that surrounded them, that the most probable course for the procession to adopt was by Knights. bridge, induced the crowd to traverse Hyde ' ark a fourth time, and take their final stand in ;ha neighbourhood of Hyde-park-corner; where, during anothor hour of suspense and anxiety, ihey remained until the approach of the proces ion was at length announced in reality. BaUTE FROM HAMMEP.SMITH TO HYDE-PARK CORNER. The procession moved on, at a slow pace, through the immense crowds that lined each side of the road. When it arrived as far as Kensing ton Church, an obstacle of a most formidable and decisive nature, as regarded the disposition of the assembled multitude to effect a change in the route planned by the Government, presented itself... Here it was perceived that two waggons were drawn across the street which led to the Gravel-pits, one of them loaded. The other was a military waggon. An attempt had been made, it appeared, to loosen the pavement, so as effec tually to prevent the passage of any cavalcade ; and we have been informed, that a chain was thrown across the High-street, Kensington, which was not removed until after much labour. On the representation of some persons in the suite, the military waggon was speedily removed ; but this was no sooner done, than another waggon, which was on the other side of the main street, was thrust by the people into the gap. The people seemed determined to resist any attempt to remove these waggons, and continually cried, " Through the city ! through the city !" There was no attempt at this time to re move the waggons by force. The soldiers sat Quietly on their horses in the places which had Lean assigned to them in the train. A-messenger was now sent from Kensington to Lord Liverpool. Meantime the barrier was in creased by the constant accumulation of carts from behind. We heard also that there was a trench dug in the upper part of the Gravelpit read. The conductor of the procession would not take upon himself the responsibility of mov ing in any other direction than that laid down in the written directions. The whole cavalcade therefore halted, until new instructions could be obtained. The'procession reached Kensington at half-past nine, and it was not till after eleven that it moved on again, in consequence of a mes sage, it was said, from the Earl of Liverpool.— At the end of the lane in front of the church several skirmishes took place between the police officere and the people, in which many severe blows were exchanged on both sides. The procession next moved on to the gate into Hyde-park, near Kensington ; and an attempt was made to pass with the procession into the Park, but this failed ; for the people, apprehen sive that the hearse would thus be turned out of the direct road into the New-road, and would not pass through the city, shut the gates, anctehe conductors consented to pass on through Kensing ton-Fore and Knightsbridge. When the pro cession reached Hyde-park-corner we. found a troop of the Life Guards drawn up ; at whose appearance much dissatisfaction was expressed by .the people. indeed, from the moment at which the procession moved from Brandenburgh-house, the greatest dissatisfaction was displayed by the people at the appearance of the soldiery. As the procession passed by the Broadway, Hammer smith, a thousand voices exclaimed, " Why are the soldiers - here ?" and the hissings and hootings accompanied and followed them along the road. The soldiery bore those attacks with great patience. At this period an immense mul titude assembled—a multitude which, even on the finest day, and under circumstances of a more joyous nature, we never saw exceeded. The general cry amongst the people was, that the royal corpse should be carried through the city. l' any persons who were determined that her Majesty's corpse should pass through the streets of London carried ine their hands copies of the official declaration, which told to the public that the remains of the Queen should be convey ed from Hammersmith in a private manner.— As the processsiou approached Park-lane, groans, hisses, and execrations, were levelled at the sol diers. The Life Guards, who had before signalized themselves in the same neighbourhood, were not quite 30 gentle as they had previously been, and They struck, with the flat of their swords, some of those persons who reproached them. They attempted to force a passage down Park-lane, but the dense mass of people, and the coaches, carts, and cars, which in a very few minutes were thrown across the road, ren dered their efforts wholly abortive. Here there was a delay for a few minutes, until at length the Officer of the guard having consulted with some persons near him, the procession was or dered to turn, and it entered the Park at the corner gate, and proceeded towards Cumberland gate, the entrance at the Oxford-street end. The Life Guards were drawn up, six on each side of the gate. Two of them then passed the procession, and rode a-head of the horsemen.— The appearance of this fresh supply of military force occasioned the most boisterous uproar. The scene at this moment was most awful. An im mense multitude covered the Park. Some of the Life Guards rode to and fro, which seemed to excite much displeasure among the crowd, %%filch was testified by hissings and hootings. HYDE-PARK, AND ATTACK AT CUMBERLAND GATE. • At about 12 o'clock the procession entered the Park, and during its passage through it a scene of confusion ensued. Vast numbers of persons on foot and on horseback passed with great speed along Park-lane, and in all directions towards Cumberland-gate at the end of Oxford-street.— Their object wa3 suspected by the Guards to be to reach that gate before them, with the view' of meeting the procession and again forcing it to turn back. To prevent this, the Guards galloped through the Park at full speed, in order to gain Cumberland-gate before them. Simultaneously with this movement of the Guards and the multitude attendant on the royal funeral, the processi , m itself moved at a N ery quick pace through the Park. Suddenly, however, it halted, and it was understood that the people had closed the gates. It became necessary, we understand, in consequence of the peremptory orders issued to the Guards to force a way for the procession, to disperse the multitude at Cumberland-gate,' and clear a passage. The people were equally bent on turning the procession, and forcing it into the route of the city. Here a con test arose, and here, e deeply grieve to say, blood was shed. Some stones acrd mud were thrown at the military, and the soldiers fired their pistols at the crowd. Screams of terror were heard in every direction, and numbers were seen flying across the Park in dismay. Some accounts state the numbers of am killed at four, and of the wounded at ten or twelve. One of the sufferers is ichd . Honey, a carpenter, residing at N 0.3, Row street, Soho. lie was shot at the corner of Great Cumberland-street, and the body was carried to the General ToWnshend, in , Oxford-street. Others were carried to St. George's Hospital. CUMEERLAND-GATE TO TOTTENHAM-COURT ROAD. The procession no , WcrOSsed the end of Ox ford-street ; and leaving Tyburn 7 turnpike on the left, passed down the Edgeware-road towards Paddington. Ahnost immediately upon the ces sation of the firing, the latter'part of the proces sion, which during the continuance of the unfor tunate affray between the Military and the peo ple had :remained in the Park, proceeded rapidly forward, and joined the rest of the funeral train in the Edzeware-road. Upon leaving the Park, several mourning coaches, followed by a consi derable number of horsemen, broke .out of the line of the procession, and proceeding down Cum berland-street, turned off to the right, and did not again take any share in the solemn ceremony in which they had previously borne a part.— The populace in Oxford-road, and at Tyburn gate appeared to be in the highest degree ex asperated against the military, whom they loaded with the bitterest execrations. Some cried out " They have shot a man, and killed him ;" others wished to draw the attention of the horsemen in the funeral train to the blood of the unfortunate sufferers in the conflict which stained the ground in several places. The rain, which had latterly somewhat abated, again poured in torrents as the procession advanced on the Edgeware-road.— The number of pedestrian followers con filmed undiminished. As the procession moved along tl.e New-road, the crowd became more dense and compact. Large groups of individuals in carriages, on horseback, and on foot, were collected at the ends of all the streets running south from the New-road. At the top of Port land-place, and in the Regent's-park, the assem blage was immense. STOPPAGE AT THE TOP OF TOTTENHAM. COURT-ROAD. It was about half-past one when the head of the procession had advanced to the end of the New Paddington-road, and was about to dross the top of Tottenham-court-road, for the pur pose of continuinz the route to the . City road.- 'ifere, however, a suziden and insur mountable obstacle presented itself : the people, now made a second and more successful at tempt ,to effect the object of having the Queen carried through the metropolis. In an instant they put in practice the only effectual means of obtaining their object ; every waggon, cart, coach, and vehicle, of whatever description, was seized, and formed into part of a dense deep mass, extending the whole width of the road, and almost a hundred yards in depth. Through such a compact body it was impossible to force ar►y passage except by artillery. The leader of the procession looked at the impenetrable mass, and turned down into Tottenham-court-road. Francis - street, Tottenham - court-road, down which the leader of the procession attempted to pass, was in an instant blocked up with carriages of all descriptions. The procession was thus compelled to move on in a straight line towards St. (ides's, every street which leads out of Tot tenham-court-road towards the direction of the New-road, being rendered inaccessible by the instantaneous btocka•de of the multitude. TOTTENHANI-COURT-ROAD TO THE CITY. At the bottom of Oxford-street, it was in tended to turn the procession back into some of the by-streets by means of a regiment of foot soldiers, but the military were too late. The procession now moved onwards till it reached the top of Drury-lane; and here the main passage down Holborn being completely blocked up, it was compelled to take the direction towards the Strand. Nay, so anxious and so determined were the people not to be defeated, that it having oc curred to them that another attempt mi 4 ht be made to regain the irregular path, by turning out of Drury-lane into Great Queen -street, and thus returning to Holborn, they_ effectually blocked up the avenue of Queen -street, and forced the procession to descend into the Strand.— The Oxford Blues were, during the whole day, favourites of the people, and were repeatedly cheered. Though the public were displeased to see any military force in the pro cession, the mild conduct of these soldiers and their officers seemed to attract their approbation. Various but most unsuccessful efforts wore made to precipitate the funeral through iligh Holborn, and thenCe northerly, by one of the many streets with which the - neighbourhood abounds. Every attempt having failed, the fu neral proceeded quietly towards Temple-bar. When the cavalcade arrived at the bottom of Newcastle -street, a body of infantry was drawn in a semi-circular line across the street from the New Church to prevent the populace from pass ing. Upon reaching Temple-bar, the procession halted for a short time; and that part of the body of Life Guatils , wbicti had hitherto accom panied the cavalcade, here separated from it and returned to the west end of the town. The Or ford Blues were much applauded by the people at this spot. THE CITY. As soon as the cavalcade passed the gates of Temple-bar, the Lord Mayor in his private car riage placed himself at its he-d, and in this order it proceeded up Fleet-street. All the shops in the streets through which the procession moved in the city were closely shut up, and all the win dows of the houses in the same line were crowded with individuals dressed generally in deep mourning, who appeared to take the deepest in terest in the solemn scene which was passing before them. The route observed through the city was along Fleet-street and Ludgate-hill, round St. Paul's Church-yard, through Cheap,. side, past the Ev-change, into Leadenhall-street, and from thence to Whitechapel Church. The numbers of the people assembled in these streets exceeded all calculation. The roofs of houses, and every point which could command a view of the procession, were poisessed by anxious mul titudes. As the procession moved along the city, the Oxford Blues, who then formed the principal escort, were cordially greeted by the populace on either side of the street, who shook them by the hands, slapped them on the thighs, and patted their horses, exclaiming " Success to the Blues," " The Blues fOr ever," " True Blues," and using other expressions of approbation. Such as could not come nearer to them, applauded them by clapping of hands. Those who had waited on her Majesty with addresses, were not negli gent on this occasion. • -After bearing a heavy rain from four o'clock in the morning till twelve at noon, they joined the funeral procession. We observed amongst thosetteople 7 th# carpenters, the brass-founders, morocco !gather-dressers, coopers, &c. They marched in ranks, with banners and em blems of their profession. They carried banners. One large banner, white with black letters, had the following inscription :=-- 44 Power of Public Opi nion ;" another had—" United we stand;" another —" Spanish Leather-dressers; Justice will tri umph ;" another—" Friends of Humanity."— The sailors Ns ho had assembled at Whitechapel, and a number of societies in various parts, moved towards Hammersmith, on learning that the corpse of her Majesty was to be conveyed by the out skirts of the metropolis towards Harwich. The streets were, during the day, crowded. At the boundary of the city, in Whitechapel, the Lord Mayor and Mr. Sheriff Waithman left the pro cession : it was then 5 -o'clock; and the fatigue and exhaustion of both-man and horse were such as to make it impossible to go much further with- out rest. ROUTE FROM WHITECHAPEL TO ROMFORD. From Whitechapel the procession moved on to Mile-end, in the same order in which it had pass ed through the city, with this difference, that before it reached to the former place it was joined by a large additional body of sailors, who formed in small parties of sit abreast, intervening be tween the hearse and the carriages in front. The procession at this place (Milo-end) advanced at a much more rapid rate than it had been enabled to do before. the groups of mariners whichhad just joined it, however, kept pace with it, and continued to move on in very regular order until it reached Bow. The procession entered Bow a short time past five o'clock. The crowds which lined the roads and filled the houses on its approach to this place were very great.,___No,t,o4i-.el444tio.n—on even a single individual' could obtain a sight of the approaching procession remained unoccupied, The streets were thronged, the houses and win dows were filled, and not a place was left empty at its approach. We mentioned before that a large body of mariners joined the procession at Mile-end. They continued with it (though even at this place the rapidity of its movements was considerably great er than what would be called very quick walk ing) until it reached nearly to Bow : at this place ,the cavalry (and of course the hearse and its at tendant cart'iages),advanced at such a quick rate as defied the exertions of an ordinary pedestrian. —This rapid pace was continued for the greater part of the way between Mile-end and Bow ; and though at the latter place, in consequence of the great crowds which preceded it, its speed was relaxed, yet still it was greater than that with which an ordinary pedestrian could keep pace.— In justice we Must add, that the haste which we have here been forced to notice; did not con tinue throughout the procession - to Romford.— The procession continued in nearly the same order from Bow to Stratford, in both of which places its entrance was announced by the tolling 1 of the church bells. In Stratford tl;re was the same concourse of spectators. At this4atter place, the bodies of salors which joined - the procession formed in lines, at each side of the road ; and as soon as the precession passed through, they re turned towards town. Many of the horsemen who had accompanied the funeral from Hyde park, also quitted at this place. ';('`lam cavalcade then moved on, occasionally ina very quick trot. to Ilford. Here the funeral was met by la/ge bodiea oi 4 th e i n h a bit an t s , on h orse b ac k, oil fcTot, and in vehicles of every description, which lined the roads at both sides. Among these we noticed a number of private carriages filled with ladies dressed in deep mourning. At a quarter-past six o'clock the funeral en tered Ilford, the - streets of which were thronged with spectators. At the doors and windows of every house we noticed groups of individuals. At Ilford the greater part of the Knight Mar shal's men left the procession. The cavalcade then moved on towards Itomford, but at rather a slower pace than it had kept since it left Mile end. At about a mile at this side of the town it was met by a deputation of the inhabitants, at tired in deep mourning, each individual bearing a black wand, .covered at the top with crape. Preceded by this body it entered Romford at a ' quarter to eight o'clock. The inhabitants had been _expecting it for several hours before; and the most strange stories were prevalent as to the cause of its delay. The White Hart-inn, where it was determined that her Majesty's suite should stop and dint-, was hung with mourning. A large canopy covered with black cloth, hand some!), festooned, was raised over the gateway under which the persons composing the proces sion had to pass. As soon as the mourners had alighted from their carriages, the hearse with the Royal remains was drawn up about a hundred yards further into, the town. The Horse Guards (blue), which had attended it from London, were here relieved by a party of the 4th Light Dra goons. Of these,a small guard of honour was placed round the heata;e; the remainder of the troop parad ed up and down the street in its vicinity. It was expected by some that the stay of the procession at Rornford would not exceed half an hour, and by others it was thought that it, would remain there for the night. Indeed, from the fatigue which all the individuals who formed the procession had undergone, it was impossible that they could proceed without some considerable time being allowed for refreshment and repose. We under stand that the principal persons of her Majes ty's suite objected to going farther that night, and that some considerable time was occupied in the discussion between them and the indi viduals who had the direction of the funeral on this subject. It was at length determined that the body should be conveyed on to Chelmsford, and that the principal persons of the suite should re main to rest at Romforcl until as early hour in the morning, at which time they were to set off to overtake the procession before it reached Colches ter. Aid. - vVood, Dr. Lushing tOTI, and Mr. Wilde intended to accompany the body to Chelmsford last night. At a little before 11 o'clock the guard of honour in attendance on the Royal corpse began to move, and very soon the hearse was dra , 7n up to its former station in the proces sion. It was at this time preceded by the depu tation which had ushered it into the town, each member bearing a lighted torch. The procession was also accompanied for a short distance by the principal, inhabitants of the town. Darin? the few short stoppages which the fu neral made o❑ the road, a great number of people pressed round the hearse, anxious to be allowed to touch the coffin. The wish of many of them was complied with, and they laid their hands on the end of the coffin with the utmost reverence, and departed apparently highly- gratified. It was not expected that the procession would reach Chelmsford before half-past two or three o'clock this morning. THE METROPOLIS. The general appearance of the metropolis on this day of mourning was little less striking than on that tun the remains of the late King were consigned to the tomb. The churches were opened for the performance of divine service, and the natural di,sposition to mourn the severe loss the nation had sustained was strengthened by every species of solemn observance, as well as the com plete exclusion of worldly thoughts and affairs. Yesterday, although the expression of feeling was wholly spontaneous, we noticed very few shops indeed, within the precincts of the city and the surrounding parishes, which were. _not . closed in part. Great numbers of them were wholly so, and the instances were far from being rare, where in the owners had closed the doors as well as the shutters of their shops. We noticed with pe culiar feelings of satisfaction, that of the mem bers of the Society of Friends, who have ever sheivn, as a body, a warm attachment to the cause of injured Majesty, there was scarcely an indi vidual who did not adopt this latter course. • The tolling of bells in the different churches, in 'most instances muffled, was, as far as our observation went universal. On the batiks of the river in. different places, but particularly near IN estmin stet Bridge, minute-guns were firing in the early part of the day. All the ships in the River had their flags half-Mast high, and the same tri bute of respect was paid at the Tower, and other districts distant from the line of the procession, while its route remained undetermined.' At a quarter before three. the Lord Mayor . , who had just before received a note from Mr. Sheriff Waith man, which was brought by a horseman at full speed from the line of the procession, issued a written notice at the Mansion-house,- that the funeral procession of her Majesty would pass through the city. We observed with some re gret that those instances of disrespect to her Majesty's memory which occurred in the city were chiefly among that class of the community whom we expect to• govern their actions by a sense of decorum and propriety, whatever poli tical feeling. they may entertain. -ago-- ATTACK ON THE MILITARY.—;FURTHER PAR TICULARS.) The number of persons who have suffered in consequence of the attack on the military, near Cumberland- . gate, is not yet accurately known; but as far as we have been able to learn, it is fortunately much less than, under such dream- . stances, might have been expected. The only. individual actually killed on the spot was Richard _Honey, a carpenter. Another. Geo. Francis, bricklayer, is supposed to be mortally woundo,d. He was carried to St. George's Hospital. Some others have been carried to Middlesex Hospitals but their wounds are said to be , slight. The un fortunate man Honey was among the spectator.; at Cumberland-gate. 'ne soldiers were assa.;led with stones and brickbats. The attack and tiring, it appears, took place at the moment ttie, people were endeavouring to turn the direction of the funeral down Oxfore,-street. The body of Honey lies at the General Towll-4 shend public-house, in Oxford-street, where go" inquest will be held this afternoon. It is said lie was shot by an officer. The ball entered the left breast, near the heart. Mr. sheriff Waithrnan, who was with the procession rA the time the firing took pace, wns at much pairs on his return to investigate the circumstances ; and we understand he has collected a consider able body of evidence, which will be brought forward this day before the coroner. He 14 5 :t night communicated the names of several persons. to the summoning officer to be subpoenaed as Wit', nesses. About twenty yards of the wall and palif,ad - O, of the Park, adjoining Cumberland-gate, were, pulled down by the people within the Park jo their endeavours to get out. [FEITIIF.P. PARTICULARS:a The Cavalcade proceeded on towards the Fit* Gates, at Kensington ; here the people had tape' measures to prevent any passage. On:the arrival of the soldiers, however, a struggle took plaoe" . . The Horse Guards advanced and forced the gat e ' open, but were driven back by the people, and the gate again shut. The struggle assumed now rather an alarming appearance. Three tirnes . the gate was forced open by the military, shut again by th e peopl e . M an y bl ows an d sabre slaps, not cuts, for the military behaved great forbearance, were given and received. A t. last, one very active and determined man ' who seemed to take the lead of th e mob, c alled eat/ " You must cut us down first, before we allow yo, to pass." The military gave up the contest, an,° the procession went on towards Hyde Park-eorti f ,i and was suffered to proc e ed al ong Pic ca dilly it arrived at Park-lane ; Mr. Bailey eave tiers to pass up this lane into Oxford-stree t e It was found impracticable to execute thiaorderj as the same means of obst r ucti on were re sort! to here as at Kensington—carts, dung waggo° s ! &c. being drawn across the entrance of Par'' lane. The head of the procession was then htlf'. ried on down the line of Piccadilly, and had P.

Upon thi; the mob gave a loud and deep shout, 0 ' mud and missiles flew at the soldiery. fr ° , a -rl2 all directions, A. party of Dragoons v e . t immediately sent round to Park-lan e , with s tr " t i orders to remove the carts; in which service, ti regret to say, many of them, as well as the 1 0 ! were badly wounded, the former with stoge"• and the latter with the swords of the so ldiery' s ; One Dragoon had his eye dreadfully cut with huge stone ; and he would no doubt .ha"st killed the • man with his sabre, were it n ° 7 for the humane interference of Sir R.

The line of waggons, however, was so v et ' compact, that it was found impossible to r a d : move them, and this circumstance being corn° nicated to the Magistrates, whose strict ortie, were, that it should pass no other than the bott ‘ , 6° prescribed by the officers of his Majesty's u . :. vernment, it was, after considerable stopW / agreed to open Hyde Park-gate, and orders wax° given to -admit the whole cavalcade, anti tc' e Y . elude the rabble, which was at length effec te e after considerable resistance and pelting,-on th part of the latter. at The crowd grew m ore d ense e v e ry th° rne ,, e around Cumberland gate, and in every av erl :4 wading towards that quarter, and a deteriP la disposition became manifest to maintain t he v ir object by forcible resistance.
