T-HE QUEEN'S FUNERAL. eUXHATM I 4I, Auo. 19. The squadron bearing the Royal Remains has just appeared before this port. • A .salute of twenty-one guns has been fired by the ships in the harbour, and answered, by the ..arriving yes, sels ; but the batteries have remained silent. The Glasgow frigate, which has conveyed - the body from - England, - draws too much -Water - to get up to Stade ; she resigns her charge, there-2 fore, here .to the Wye (Capt. FISHER), which, from her . lighter tonnage, will be enabled to up= proach - nearer to the landing place.,,-Mr..and Mrs. Wilde leave the Glasgow, and g 6 forward. towards Brunswick by land. - Mr. Wilde refuses to sanction the:procession 'by his uttendanee . : he proposes of course, hOwever, in fulfilment of his duty as executor, to 4e present at the inter, rnent, and precedes "the train . in order to make such arrOngementS for that ceremony as the brief space alliiWed for preparation :may admit.' :The' passage f \ of the squadron- froin Harwich to this - place has -been untisuilly rapid ; but it was not until two hours after the coffin had been shipped, tat Lorit and Lady Hood, Lady 4.nn Ilamil- Ann, and 'the other mourners, reached the Glas gow. The Royal Remains are just now trans ! . ferred by the boat of the* Glasgow from that vessel too-the Wye Lord and Lady Hood, Dr. and Mrs. Lushington, and the other mourners who came out by the Glasgow, are also gone on board the:Wye, -which proceeds immediately up the -fiver. STADE, 3loNn_ty EVENING-, Aim. 20. Her Majesty's remains have just now. been lauded here. After a. short delay, the Citizens of the town, with the Priests and Magistrates„at their head, came dawn in a_ body to meet the procession. The coffin was then taken up, and carried to the church, which was lighted and partially hung with black ; a solemn anthem was sung, accompanied by the organ ; and the crowd which filled and surrounded the building retir ing in deep and solemn silence, left the Royal corpse in the charge of those appointed to watch over it. BUXTEHUDE, Av o. 21. Leaving Stade at an early hour this morning, the procession arrived in the course of the after- - noon at Buxtehude. Great part of the main road was in so bad a condition, that the carriages were obliged to proceed through • foreSts and across commons, at the imminent and constant risk of being overthrown. About a quarter of a mile without the town, the Citizens and Magis trates met'the . funeral, and attended it barehead ed to the church, where, it was deposited for the night. SOLTAU, Auo. 22. The procession was met on its coming into Soltau by the Citizens and Authorities of the place, in the same manner as at Buxtehude; and twenty young girls, habited in white, strewed rowers before the hearse. — The Lancers, who had accompanied the funeial from Stade, were relieved-at this place by a detachment of hussars.

Halting in the middle of the day at the town of Bergen, the mourners 'entered a 'house for the purpose of re posing - theixiselVes... The waited of th e place, Colonel roenieti; Waited upon them. Some of the 'most respectable inhabitants of the place requested, as a favour to the multitude, that the hearSe might be opened for a moment : their desire was complied with. At Bergen the Hus sars who accompanied ,the funeral wererelieved by a guard of Cuirassiers ; and the entrance of the cavalcade into Celle was Marked by demon strations of ate . highest .regard and attention. The authOities - came .oat to meet the proces sion. The bells were 'tolled ; the streets . were lined with soldiers - ; gi r ls a g ai n strewed flowers before the hearse ;• and the Cailin..being carried into the great - church of . the city , .wai placed (by a singular Coincidence). - upon the tomb of the unfortunate sister_ of George 111, Matilda, Queen of -Denmark.-- 0FF.4.1f,A ma. 24. About noon this day the procession, on its way to Brunswick; was *met at Offau by the. Count Aldeuslaben, Grand Chamberlain of the Court. That officer Intimated to Lord Hood and Dr. Lushington; that he wished_ to make arrange ments for the interment,;:---which was to take place upon the 'guile evening: Lord - lloodand Dr. Lushington "resisted proposal which ap peared to . them inconsistent With' therespect due to the . ithistrions placed under :their . charge. *TheYi 'wished that the. body should at least lie' in 'State thitin4 - the ensuing day. The Grand %bath:11010d, evidently ivished to . show all possible' feilie4 to the memory of the Queen, and who "spoke of her with the . deepest regret and - atfection; declared, that under the. arrangements; made.(a - Pon ivhieh he was bound to act,) the . interment was to take place without any previous.cerernonial: in the -way -of "lying in' state : he farther qatedoltat it had been.the in variable • custom-in the family. of the : Dukes of Brunswick. to.: .bury at -midnight. Dr. Lushington :still.. refused • •to on the ground that :.the. mourners attending-Ahe• funeral, many . of .:whom • were , ladiesf could not prepare ..thethselves - so. eaely' •fcir the ce remony : it. would be impossible that they should" enter Brunswick with the procession, and pro ceed at once to..the place of interment. Count Aldenslaben.stated,-that un immense-COncourse•of persons, who. were collected in Brunswick to wit ness the funeral, would. be disappointed-if -it: did not take.place- on that night , :: and - -that, - by regulation, laid tiown, the:.bddy, if not buried that night, could not be permitted to enter the walls of the city.. It..wa.s then agreed that ,Lord Hood, with :Dr. 7Lushington,' -Lady ,Ifoodi Lady • A. Hamilton, Mrs. Lushingtnn r and the remainder of the mourners,: should at once go forward• to Brunswick ; that the funeral procession should follow so as to arrive at.ten- at itight:at the -gates. of the city ; and that, at that time, the person ages attending. and officiating .should go--but, to meet it. This arrangement was decided upon.— The mourners ,went :forpfara.;,and the tearse.;:: with the ..tno,urning. coaches, contintiinviti4low, and soletnn course, arrived about ten o'clock a the outer barrier. BRUNSWICK, - 10 o'clock; Friday Ni ht, Aug. 24. At this hour. Lord and Lady Hood, Lady Ann Hamilton Dr. and rs ush , rgton atd Mr. and Mrs. Wilde,. and the other mornery• who had prefiously arrived -at Brims wick, were infornied that the hearse with the mortal remains of the Queen had arrived at the outer barrier, about a.n3ile distant from the inner barrier, or catranceeinto the town. They imme diately ordered their carriages, and proceeded to the place pro vided for their reception, which was a large room on the ground floor of an inn.. • In:the middle of the' road opposite the door of the - inn stood-the hearse, guarded by an escort of the Black Regt. of Brunswiekers, at the head of whom the late Duke, the brother • of the Queen, fell gallantly fighting at the battle of Waterloo. It was now eleven o'clock, and Sir G. Nayler was preparing to marshal the procession, wh e n th e Gr a nd Chamberlain and the Commandant cf the town presented themselves, and desired a few minutes' conversation with Sir George' and Mr Calvert. before the procession should begin to move. They stated _that • they had an urgent request to make on behalf of the people of Brunswick : it was, that a deputation of respectable citizens might be permitted to - draw the funeral ear. The horses were removed from the hearse, and the coffin was deposited in a magnificent open car, while about a hundred Briinsiviekers, well dressed, and haVing all the appearance of the respectable Classes of society, placed themselves in front in the most regu lar and tranquil order. The various mourners now ascended their carriages,, and an order was given for the procession to • more. - The whole w a y w as liried with a dense mass of people, not, merely from Brunswick, but from the neighbouring towns and pillages; some families had followed the funeral . cortege from Celle, and otheri even from Harnburgh, ~ T he front lines of 'this immense - assemblage .caeried torches; and -from 'the - double rows of. willows OTi. eawh side of the road were suspended lamps of various cologis, .green, red, and _yellow. The procession llien moved slowly towards the town, and as the clock struck twelve reached the inner, barrier. Here the. mourners descended from the carriages, and the whole cortege now proceeded on foot. Frona the entrance. of the town to the cathedral church the distance is about a mile, and the slow pace - at which the procession moved, together with the various streets through which it passed, gave the whole population an opp . orninity of witnessing the grand spectacle withottf much inconvenience, and with 'scarcely any danger. - .To the people, • however, was due the praise of the good order that prevailed. -Th e only arrangement made by the authorities —so great and so just was their confidence in the good sition of the people—was - an escort of about 20 constables. The Brunswick cavalry, that, -to the amount of about 200, accompanied the procession, marched sloWly by the sides, - as state attendants, but took no part in directing the movements 'of - the immense multitude about thern, and guided their well managed chargers through a Countless crowd; in narrow streets, without alarmina- much less hurting, a single' individual. One admirable arrangement here struck us as contributing equally to the decorum and the safety of the scene ; and this was the total absence of women from the crowd. Outside the:iarriers, where the space- was very extensive, women as well as men Were seer. in all parts of the assemblage but in the, streets of Brunswick not a woman. was to be seen. The men alone were in the streets, the women were at the windows: of tie houses ; and there was not a house in any street through which the procession passed which had not every window crowded.with spectators of the female 'sex,' all dressed in black, and all expressing by their anxious attention the-deep interest whiah they took in - the solemn ceremony passing before them. In this manner the procession moved on to the Church, the glare of - a thousand torches making every part of it visible to every one of the multi tude. At the door of the church a short scene of confusion took' place, but ~o injury ensued. When th e h earse reac h e d t h e church door; the multitude, with a very natural desire to see as much as they could of the funeral rites, endeavoured to enter the church; but as there was no room for them, • it was necessary to put them baCk. Remonstrance, however, was fruitless, for the pressure from behind- - had now become so great, that it prevented the first line- from stepping back : in this di lemma, and in order to afford a passage into the church for the mourners, the Cavalry were ordered to clear the way ; this they did with equal dexterity, promptitude and • care : at the same instant three bodies of them moved , - forward as from three sides of a triangle to a. point; and 'completely cut off. the multitude from the door. This movement was effected with so much care, that not a single person received the slight est hurt and in a minute a clear space was left for the mour ners to enter the church. Here at the porch "the Minister and the Municipality stood ready to receive the body: the coffin was -- lifteel from the car, and carried by 16 sergeants of the Brunswick cavalry, while 16 majors here the pall. The appearance of th e church was solemn and imposing. Though abuilding of no strik ing beauty when seen by day light, its lofty columns and long aisles hung with black, had by night an appearance of melancho ly grandeur, especially as, to increase the sombre effect, the illumination was but scanty. Owing to positive orders we have before alluded to, no service, not even a funeral chant, was to be _performed in the church ; as the Queen had died - abroad, it was to .be considered that these rites had been already performed, and that the ceremony at. 'Brunswick was merely depo siting • the body of the deceased in the family vault—As the corpSe passed along • the aisle into the -place of sepul ture, a hundred young ladies'-of - the first- families in 'Bruns wick, dressed in white, stood on each side and scattered flowers before it: In a few seconds the coffin and the mourners had all arrived in :the family vault of the ilhistrious house of BrUnsWick. The entire space is very large; - and already con tains 67 coffins of different branches of that ancient family. A portion, about 7 yards souare, was s e p ara t e d fro - m- the'rest by hangings of. black cloth, and was illuminated with wax li g ht s . In the middle of this section stood a platform, raised about two feet from the ground e on one side stood the coffin of the gal lant rather of the Queen, at the foot was the coffin of her gal lant brother, 'both heroes slain in battle when fighting against the tyranny of Buonaparte. When the mourners were all - arranged in the•fornb, the Min ister, whose name was J. W. G. W o lf, preaCher of the Cathed ral Church, a mild-and sensiblealuoking man, about 60 years of age, stood at the head of the-coffin, and, in a voice tremu lous with emotion, uttered-a prayer in the German language, of which the following is a translation :a- TUE PRAYER. '" Transient is our life.,' perishatle all fortune and glory of the earth ! Thus, All.wise GoD, thou bast ordained it ! But in - death ; are terminated all the hardships, troubles, and sufferings that attend the life of man in thiS state of imperfec tion. Not in this world, where we are strangers, where we live in a constant struggle with adversities and our own infirmities, no, only in that to come, for which thou hast created our mortal spirit, do we find the desired felicity; and purer, untroub led, unperishable joys. Penetrated, even in the inmost recesses of our hearts, by this solemn and consoling truth, we elevate with pious deVotion our hearts to thee, the Infinite One ! in this sacred place, and at the coffin of a Deceased; whoth the All-wise will once destined for a terrestrial throne, and now, after a rare change :of destiny, hest called into the land of eternal peace. With hearts deeply affected do we view the burying-Place of thil de- Scendint of beloved and princely family.

And now, most 'gracious God, preserve likewise to us graciously the - remaining most :beloved members of our princely family, for our joy. antPfor the welfare of our country, .and attend their days with thy 'richest blessing I Graht our most pious wishes AMEN:" . , • - When.the. prayer was finished, and before the mourners left the tomb, the hundred young ladies were adMitted, and formed a large circle round the platform : they strewed flowers oh the floor ; and then having, prepared: some wreaths; "arranged them in different forms on the.coMa; they then knelt down, uttered a short prayer; and - retired.

EPROM THE DUBLI N CORRESPONDENT , AEG. 29.1, • GRAND DINNER TO HIS MAJESTY BY THE • UNIVERSITY. Yesterday, as had been previously announced, hiS MAJ ESTY honoured the University. presence at dinner ; and' we - May safelyOnitti, that no. Monarch. was ever . entertained. Thy any clasi or description of his subjects with greater splendour and elegance. All the preparations, which, we take.upon us to affirin,:Were arranged only by the Members of the .University who Were selected for that purpose, were conducted upon a.scale of magnificence suitable to the oc casion ; and the embellishments bestowed npon the building displayed their truly classic taste, and the faithful ingenuity and talents of their Architect.. 'Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, yet, the effect of those preparations which were exposed to its influence was hardly diminished, and fully satisfied the expectations of:all who bad a share in them. His Majesty, at about five minutes before six, entered by the great gate, and, passing through the front square. between the porticos of the Theatre and the Chapel, was received by the Provost and Senior Fellows, at the entrance of an Octagonal Vestibule; erected for the occasion, and which was surmounted by the Royal Crown. The entire of the Vestibule, and of the covered Galleries connected with it, were beautifully disposed —one of them leading to the entrance to the -Library, which was used as a Receptionaoom, :end •the other to the Dining Room. • The King, on entering the Library, was evi dently struck with its chaste and simple -gran deur ; and having stopped to enjoy its effect for a moment, he made various inquiries, as to its extent, number of volumes, and other matters, and entered into a gracious and free conversation with the Members of the University immediately near him. This noble room, which is two hun dred and eleven feet in length, forty in breadth', and sixty in height, has--been tong the object of admiration to every man of taste and.knowledge in. architecture ; but its effect was considerably enhinced by the different embellishments which had been bestowed- upon it for the occasion.— The Busts were arranged with judgment--,the floor was covered with crimson carpeting, and the Classic" construction :of the Throne erected at- the end of the Library, which was judiciously connected with the architectural lines, attracted particular admiration. Dr.-Barrett, the Vice-Pro vost, and, who has been • forty years Librarian, Addressed the King, on his entrance, in a Latin Speech, to which his Majesty was graci ously pleased to pay a marked attention, as well as ta . the venerable Scholar who delivered it.— When dinner was announced, the King, with a captivating politeness, bowed to the- Ladies,-who occupied the extensive gaillerieS of the Library, exclusively—no Gentleman having been allowed admission ; and, when when we add this exqui site decoration to what has- been already men tioned, - and fancy the floor of this noble . Chamber filled with Nobility and Gentry, in all the cos tumes of the Church, the: LaW, the University, and the profession of Arms, with the King in the fore-ground, a- more brilliant and interesting titre can -hardly be presented to the imagination. From the Library, his Majesty was conducted by the Provost to the Theatre, along a covered gallery, decorated. with much elegance and which led to a second octagonal vestibule, by which the King entered the dining-room, imme diately close to his Throne, in- front of which was placed the Royal Table. It is difficult to con-. ceiie the splendid effect of the. Theatre, on first entering it. This noble room was fitted up with that classical purity of taste which piesided over all the arrangements and decorations belonging to this interesting and magnificent festival. The Throne, of crimson velvet, was placed in the centre, of the circular space which terminates the robin: A platfortn, elevated two feet, filled the semicircle, and the Royal table was adapted to the curvature of the place._ In the centre of the room, on one side, was erected a 'splendid Bacchanalian Altar, .of . chaste and classic design, upon which stood five bronze .Fi gures, supporting lights—the summit -was crowned with a marble vase, filled with flowers, and the whole backed with a drapery : of crimson velvet, of considerable 'rich -ness,suspended from a.wreath of flowers. The room was spendidly lighted, and the coup d'reil,. .on entering the room, inconceivably grand. The gallery at.the end of the room as occupied by Ladies of distinction, and its effect from the other end, where the Throne stood, was pecu liarly beautiful.. The Choir occupied the -two first. rows in this gallery, and, immediately on the King's entrance, an Ode, written for the oc: casion, by a young Gentleman of the College, Morrisson, was _performed, accompanied by the organ. .: •, :Mg Majesty. entered the...Theatre, where, as our readers already -know, the dinner was laid• precisely at- half past'siic-o'clock, being preCeded by the Provost, who announced the corning of -the King to the company.—:His Maje Sty took his place, and the usual Coll'ege Grace •being said by-Dr. Lloyd, one of the Senior Fellows,- his Majesty bowing to those immediately in his front, and then to those at either side, sat down; the company, in their turn, made their Obeisances to the King, and- took their seats. At his Ma jesty's table, on his right, were the Provost; the Lord- Chief Justice of the King's Bench, (Vice- Chancellor of the College) the Lord Primate,- the- Marquis- of lleadfort, the - Lord (Thancellor, and the• Archbishop of Tuatir; on- his left, his -ExCellency 'the Lord Lieutenant, the-Archbishop , of - Ditblin, -the -Duke of-Mantrose, Lord: Vis - - coUnt Sidniouth,'-and • the' Lord Mayor. His' Majesty -was attended, at dinner, by two Noble -men,'bearink wands, and by -six of -his Majesty's - own. Servants, attired. in = magnificent liveries of blue- and -.gold.

After ;linnet; the Choir sung, with gt . eal effect, the usual thanksgiving of " Non Notrii; &c. The ProVost then rose, and, in the midst of the profound attention of . the guests and the spec tators, give, iii an emphatic manner, the fotlow ing todst-: „ _ llg MAJ,FiTY.TIIE RING." (4. Loud and repeated cheers followed the toast, both within and from without the walls of The Hall. - -The company immediately stood up, and, in sparkling bumpers,. drank to the health of their beloved and gracious Monarch, with all the usual concomitants "of loyalty arid veneration.— The grand national anthem of " God =save the King`" was sung by the Choir, with the addition of two Stanzas, that had been recently composed as appropriate to the occasion of his Majesty's visit to Ireland. • The Lord Lieutenant now rose, and said, that he had been commanded to. give, on the part of his Majesty, • The Provost,: Fellow:, and Scholars of Trinity College. His Majesty stood while he drank this toast, previously hoWing to the Provost and the Fel lows immediately in hiS view. Considerable applause followed ; and the Glee, " Strike the Harp," was sung, by the Choir. . • . The next, toast was . given.by the. Provost, who said, that,' by his 'Majesty's permission, he should propose . The Duke of York and the Army. . Drank with great applause.

After a lapse of a few minutes, the Provos gave, by command of the King-- His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant. [This toast was enthusiastically cheered, an( was otherwise received with every mark of re spect.] The Lord Lieutenant instantly rose, and bow ed, with great dignity of deportment, first to the King, and next to the company at each side of the room. This toast was succeeded by the glee of " Glorious A pollo.”—Chorus as before. His Excellency the. Lord Lieutenant said, he had again his Majesty's commands to propose a toast—it was— Prosperity to Ireland. When this toast was given, his Majesty imme diately rose, and, with the most impressive man ner, drank his glass, while the company and the spectators acknowledged their gratitude by peals of applause. The Orchestra had intended to sing a b.muti. fill air that was appropriate to that toast, bu they were prevented from doing so for severa minutes by the loud cheering, and by the rap turous acclamations, which the captivating man. ners of the King had called forth from the corn pany and the spectators. Herehis Majesty expressed a wish toretire,and the Duke of Montrose left the company to make the necessary dispositions for his Majesty's departure— His Grace returned- in a few minutes, and an nouncing to his Majesty that all was ready—the "King rose to take leave. The company rose at the same moment, and the Sovereign, after bow ing in the most gracious manner to those imme diately around him, walked down the Hall, ad dressing, with much cordiality, every individual as he passed. II isAlajesty paiticlarly distinguished -the Lord Chancellor:and Mr. C. Plunkett, with the former of whom he conversed for a . short time, and with the latter 'of whom h e sh o ok hands. His Majesty was preceded by the Great Offi cers of State, and attended by those of his imme diate Household, and as he was retiring, the Choir repeated the National Anthem. At this time it rained heavily, still the crowd outside were not to be deterred from this opportunity of beholding their. King, and they huzzaed enthu siastically. His Majesty left the Hall by the door opposite to "that by which his Majesty had entered, leading to the outer sqOare of the Col lege ; his retinue was in readiness to•receive him, and immediately on his Majesty's stepping into his carriage, it drove off, escorted by a troop of dragoons. On the return of the Provost to the Hall, he took the Chair, and gave once again, " His Ma jesty the King," which was drank with four times four, every person standing, and the most enthu siastic demonstrations of applause followed. The Lord Mayor now gave, he said, with the leave of the Chair— Tile Lord Primate and the Church of inland. Drank with applauses. • . The,next toast was proposed by Mi. W.- C.

SIIERIFF WAITHMAN, Silt—ln taking measures for preserving the public peace at the funeral procession of Honey and Francis, you acknowledged Tour opinion of its attendants, of their character and their pur pose. Alore consonantly with your duty, you would have alto gether prohibited, or dispersed in its first..assemblage, a proces , sion which you considered as so dangerous. - A word from their: friend 808 WAITHMAN would have sent them off: his mere • hint Ut the unseasonableness of their array would at least have deferred its illegality. The event has justified your opinion. But, expecting from their " existing irritation", that some " insult might be offered to the Life Guards," you signally failed in your duty,. whell you permitted such a procession to assemble at all. Its crowd' was pot composed of the friends or families of the deceased; but of followers, who would just as numerously have attended td . see them hanged for any other offence than. 3ItTILDER.MO rnl hire's SOLDIERS. Its object was the collection and exhibi tion of seditious force. The • funeral, though not a fiction, was. a pretmcc. Knowing. this, you should have sent Citizens }To ney and Francis to their graves, with the escort of their imme' diate connexions ; such as they would, have had without a po litical funeral, Upon your own showing, you " forepaw" a breach of the peace; not from the Life Guards, .but from the mob. You conceived that the soldiers might—mark the force of the proposition, Mr. Sheriff—might be insulted " IN their Barracks." You did not conceive that the f►rst insult would proceed from THEM, that they would- meddle, or even mingle with the crowd, or leave the precincts of their own walls. But you conceived that the first insult would proceed from THE mon, and that.theLife Guards woul d be assailed by Radical insolence WITHIN TH OSE BA RRAcgo WHICH THEY WCkELI) NOT LEAVE. . - " In consequence of your precautions," the funeral passed the Barracks quietly. The constables, whom you had instal "rD front of the barracks," kept the mob in order. Without t 4 3enit you admit that The mob would not have been orderly. nacithe soldiers withinside been riotously disposed, your outside c° r '' stables could not very easily have restrained them. But THE BRICK, Mr. SherifF—Could.it have fallen so " nt raf ' your horse," yet wound a young girl without your seeing h er o wounded ?
