THE LATE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. FROM AN ODE BY THE POET LAUREATE. Mourn, for to us he seems the last: Our sorrows draw but on the Golden Past. 0, Friends! our chief State oracle is mute : Mourn for the man of long-enduring blood, The statesman-warrior, moderate, resolute, Whole in himself, a common good. Mourn for the man of largest influence, Yet freest from ambition's crime, Our greatest, yet with least pretence, Great in council and great in war, Foremost captain of his time, Rich in saving common sense, And, as the greatest only are, In his simplb ity sublime ! 0, good gray head, which all men knew, 0, voice from which their omens all men drew, 0. iron nerve, to true occasion true; O fall'n at length that tower of strength, Which stood four-square to all the winds that blew Such was he whom we deplore: The long self-sacrifice is o'er : The great world-victor's victor will be seen no more, Lo 1 the leader in these glorious wars Now to glorious burial slowly borne. Follow'd by the brave of other lands, He. on whom from both be? open hands Lavish Honour showered all her stars, And affluent Fortune emptied all her horn Yea, let all good things await Him who cares not to be great, But as he saves or serves the State. Not once or twice in our ugh island-story The path of duty was the way to glory. He that walks it only thirsting For the right, and learns to deaden Love of self, before his journey closes. He shall find the stubborn thistle bursting Into glossy purples, which outredden All voluptuous garden roses. Not once cr twice in our rough island-story The path of duty was the way to glory, He, that ever following her commands On with toil of heart, and knees and hands, Through the long gorge to the tar light, has won His path upward, and prevailed. Shall find the toppling crags of Duty scaled, Are close upon the shini To which our God Him He has not failed ; he 1 oon and sun ailed ; So let the men whose hearths he saved from shame, Thro' many and many an age At civic revel, and pomp, and game, And when the long-illumined cities flame, Their ever-loyal iron-leader's fame, 'With honour, honour, honour, honour to him Eternal honour to his name.

Wellington and Waterloo martine By Alphonse de La- London : Vizetelly and Clarke. A reprint from the well-known " History and Restoration of Monarchy in France," by M. La martine, bearing the impress of his genius, in the vivacity and splendour of the style, and dramatic form of the narrative. It is well to read what even a Frenchman has to say about that glorious victory. Let us hear WATERLOO WAS LOST! " Such was the battle of Waterloo, lost, not by the army, which was never more indefatigable, more devoted, and more brave, but by the commission of four faults : the tardiness of Ney, on the evening of the 16th, in occu pying Quartre-Bras : the indecision of Grouchy, in not marching towards the cannon of the battle, and neglecting Wavres ; the too great distance left by Napoleon between the army and his right wing, commanded by Grouchy ; finally, and above all, the loss of seven hours of daylight by Napoleon, on tne morning of the 18th, in front of Wellington.—fatal hours, which gave time to the Prus sians to arrive on the field of battle, and to the French army a second enemy upon its flanks, before it had van quished the first. Of these four errors, two must be ascribed to Napoleon's generals and two to himself—none to the troops. Neither his genius nor his resolution are recognised in separating himself from one-third of his army, by an immense and unknown space on his right, without even verbal communication with this wing; nor when he hesitated till eleven o'clock in the forenoon before he advanced to storm Mount St. Jean, and to deprive Wellington of the hope of being joined by the Prussians, already in sight on the horizon, but still three hours' march from the field of battle. He left Ney, half a victor upon the reverse of Mount St. Jean, to wait for three hours the mass of the army and the Imperial Guard, instead of profiting by the breach opened by the marshal in the English army, to hurl upon it his centre and his reserve, and to sweep Wellington, scarcely resisting, from the field, before Blucher should be in a position to prevent the defeat of the English. Finally, his decisive impulse amidst the fire of battle could not be recognised in his ten hours' immobility on the plateau of Rossomme, and in his passive inertness behind the hillock of Mont St. Jean. whilst his army was totally sacrificing itself by mounting to the breach opened by Ney, and waiting for nothing but the presence and example of its Emperor to rise above itself and superior to destiny. One of these faults alone was sufficient to ruin an ordinary army; bat all combined destroyed that of France. dd, in order to he just, that Wellington and 'nailed, by their intrepidity, the first generals .once.

Edited by Mrs. Catherine Ponsonby. Edinburgh : Wbite & Co. Another number, not inferior to its predecessors in variety of matter, or subjects judiciously handled. With a decidedly religious tone and a high standard of the requirements of a family magazine, elevating it above that which is frivolous or merely amusing, the Christian Family Advocate recommends itself to the religious community, and is worthy of libe ral patronage. Our satisfaction was great to see a continuation of the article on the Twenty-third Psalm, which breathes holy thought, not deep, but sweet; soothing to the believer, comforting to the sufferer, a bed-side article which the afflicted disci ple will much relish. The article on " Spain" will be read with much interest. The Scottish Educational and Literary Journal. Edinburgh : James Hogg. The second number of a new magazine, in which, we presume, the proceedings of the Scottish Insti tute will be reported, its position strengthened, and its usefulness promoted. There is no lack of mat ter in the number before us, and the reader will find profit in its perusal. Hogg's Instructor. Edinburgh : James Hogg. An excellent number of one of the ablest of our serials, the value of which is much increased by a fine portrait of Faraday. The Englishman's Magazine. Nos. 3 and 4 London : Thomas Bosworth. We expressed ourselves freely and warmly in favour of this new magazine when it first appeared. Since then our opinion has been further confirmed, and our contemporaries have spoken out in a simi lar strain. There is a healthy earnestness about it, and vigorous talent, which show that nothing has been left undone to make it worthy of that patron age which, we trust, will be liberally extended t. it. We suspect the writer of " Manchester and Cam bridge" has fallen into error in assigning certain political articles in Blackwood's Magazine to Sir Archibald Alison. We have reason to believe that Professor Aytoun, and not the Sheriff, is the author. Into this mistake —for mistake we do consider it— many appear to have been led ; and the hereditary honours which her Majesty's Ministers recently bestowed upon this distinguished historian, were thereby laid to his political support, not to his literary merits.

AN OPENING IN LIFE.—In lowa this means sheathing a piece of table cutlery into the left ventricle of your next door neighbour. AN IRISHMAN complained of his phvsican that he kept so stuffing him with drugs, that " he was sick for a week after he was quite well!" A PERSON thus speaks of his musical attainments—" 1 know two tunes—the one is Auld Lang Syne, the other isn't ; I always sing the latter." " How ARE YOU THIS MORNING ?" " Not at all my self." " Then I congratulate you ; for be whoever else you will, you will be a gainer by the bargain." A GENIUS has invented a capital way to prevent the smell of cooking in a house. It is to have nothing for breakfast, and warm it over for dinner and supper. MR.

UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.—A conscientious Quaker pro poses in the Daily News that, in justice to Mrs. Stowe, every reader of " Uncle Tom" should subscribe to one common fund for the authoress the sum of one " penny." Of course all the pirating booksellers—for their sins—will join in this act of penny-tence SPECIALLY HAZARDOUS.—Judge Beeler put. a notice over his factory gate at Lowell, " No cigars or Irishmen admitted within these walls :" for, said he, " the one will set a flame agoing among my cottons, and t'other among my girls. I won't have such inflammable and dangerous things about me on no account."—Brother Jonathan. RAILWAY LOGIC.—One of the directors of that admi rably managed railway, the Great Western. being asked if he could defend the constant want of punctuality for which that line is famous, replied, very readily, that as punctuality was but the soul of business, it might, he thought, be fairly reasoned that punctuality was not material. AN AWKWARD PREDICAMENT.—SOMe of the stories told by Mr. St. John in his " Village Life in Egypt" recall the grim story of some French antiquaries. who, having crawled and wriggled their way into the heart of one of the pyramids, and having set about to return, were stopped by the stoutest of their number, who crawled first sticking fast in the pessage. He could neither advance nor retreat, nor could they help him, and they finally de cided that the only means of saving the lives of the rest of the party was to cut the unfortunate man into quarters. And this they bad resolved to do; but the horrible idea, when imparted, acted so violently upon the poor fat man that he made a desperate effort and got through ! SOMETHING UN IQUE !—At a roup of furniture, which took place in the " Lang Toun" the other week, among the onlookers were a few Irish labourers; and, upon a trunk being put up for sale, one of the said labourers said to his neighbour, " Pat, I think you should buy that trunk ;" when Pat replied with some degree of astonish ment, " An' what should Ido with it?" To which his adviser smartly replied. " Put your clothes in it sure ;" upon which Pat gazed at him with a look of surprise, as much as to say, I'm sure you might know better, and then with that laconic eloquence which is peculiar to a son of the Emerald Isle, and which at once communicated the information that it was his practice to carry his entire wardrobe about with him, exclaimed—" An' go naked 1" PADDY'S EXPEDIENT FOR REDUCING A FINE.—An Irish weaverjust imported from the sister isle, took to his employer in Kilmarnock, the other day, the first cloth he bad woven since his arrival. His employer detected in the cloth two holes, within half an inch of each other, and told him he must pay a fine of a shilling for cach bole. " And plaze ye," returned Pat, "isit by the number of holes, or by the size of them, that ye put the fine on us ?" so By the number of holes to be sure." " And a big bole and a small one is the same price ?" " Yes, a shilling for every hole, big or little." " Then give me a hould of the piece," replied Paddy. Getting the cloth into his hand, he tore the two small holes into one, and exclaimed, " By the Hill of Howth ! and that saves me one shilling, any how !" ASSYRIAN PAL ►C _ The last novelty determined on by the directors of the new Crystal Palace is one that will interes It was originally intended that ..veh Court should consist simply of casts of the ~as wonderful relics which have been obtained by I.4ayard and Botta. At the suggestion of Mr. Fergusson, however, the directors have determined on reproducing an Assyrian palace, on the theory propounded by that gentle. man, and set forth in our paces some time ago. The restoration determined on is that of the palace-court at Khorsabad, which forms the frontispiece of Mr. Fcrgus son's book, " The Palaces of Nineveh and Persepolis Re stored." It will perhaps be 120 feet long and 40 feet high, with the upper chambers formed on the thickness of the wall, and the projecting cornice profusly chromatized. The bulls, to be modelled for the purpose, will be larger than those in the British Museum. It cannot fail to form a very striking feature in the Exhibition.—The Builder. MARRYING FOR BEAUX YEUx.—Can any one, who has passed through the world and watched the nature of men and women there, doubt what bad befallen her ? I have seen, to be sure, some people carry down with them into old aee the actual bloom of their youthful love, and I know that Mr. Thomas Parr lived to be a hundred and sixty years old, But, for all that, threescore and ten is the age of men, and few get beyond it ; and 'tis certain that a man who marries for mere beaux yeux, as my lord did, considers his part of the contract ended when the wo man ceases to fulfil hers, and his love does not survive her beauty. I know 'tis often otherwise, I say ; and can think (as most men in their own experience may) of many a house, where, lighted in early years, the sainted lamp of love bath never been extinguished ; but so, there is Mr. Parr, and so there is the great giant at the fair that is eight feet high—exceptions to men—and that poor lamp whereof I speak that lights at first the nuptial chamber is extinguished by a hundred winds and draughts down the chimney, or sputters out for want of feeding. And then —and then it is Chloe, in the dark, stark awake, and Strephon snoring unheeding ; or vice versa, 'tis poor St►ephon that has married a heartless jilt and awoke out of that absurd vision of conjugal felicity, which was to last for ever, and is over like any other dream. One and other has made his bed, and so must lie in it, until that final day, when life ends, and they sleep separate.—Thackeray's Esmond. our readers the Nin vari T PUBLIC TESTING OF MILNER'S PATENT FIRE RESISTING SAFES.—The triumph of science was completely shown by the result of the trials of Milner's Safes that took place in Messrs. Ransomes and Sims' Old Foundry premises, in this town, on Wednesday last, at eleven o'clock, to witness which a large and influential body of gentlemen were present including Samuel R. Cowell, Esq., Mayor, C. Burton, Esq., P. B. Long, Esq., William Bullar, Esq., John May, Esq., J. D. Harmer, Esq., T. B. Ross, Esq., C. Burton, Fsq., T. D. Burroughes, Esq., William Rodwell, Esq., W.

Jeffries, .F. Burgess, H. B. Hagreen, E. Batley. &c. Two large fires were made in furnaces of bricks, with flues all through, in one of which was placed a common iron safe, filled with loose papers, and one of Milner's fire-resisting safes, also tilled with books, papers, a silver watch, gold, silver, and steel chains, with the half of a £lOO note. The whole were inspected by the great body of gentlemen present, and locked down by Mr. S. H. Cowell, the Mayor. Fifteen minutes after being so placed the cast-iron box burst. from the great heat conveyed to each, while the patentee's chest firmly stood the trial for 2i hours. When it was opened everything was taken out in such a perfect and uninjured state as to surprise and astonish all present. In a second furnace of similar construction was deposited Milner's Doable Banker's Safe. After being filled by Mr. D. Wenden, the representative of T. Milner and Son, assisted by S. H. Cowell, Esq., and \V. D. Sims, Esq., with the following articles, namely,—the half of a ,elOO note, several copies of various publications, including a beautiful illustrated edition of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," a casket of jewellery, with gold and silver watch belonging to Mr. Read, jeweller, of this town, a gold watch belonging to Mr. Uorling, a silver watch belonging to Mr. D. Wenden, a silver watch belonging to Mr. Baker, and others, the property of gen tlemen present, with which was also a box containing several metals, to try the heat within, consisting of bitu men, iron, lead, zinc, by a scientific gentleman present. This safe was allowed to remain five hours, during which time every . exertion was made to increase the heat, the fire being superintended by four of Messrs. Ransomes' men, and 1# tons of coal, 50 cwt. of firewood, 4 large and 3 small hogsheads, several faggots, &c., were consumed. At the time of opening the safe the most intense anxiety prevailed, the company, in cluding a great number of ladies from the town and neighbour hood, being very great.

The gloom, which threatened in tl►e morning, had cleared off, as punctual to the moment appointed, the word of command was shcuted from co!umn to column, and the hand of the 2(1 Battalion of the Rifle Brigade struck up the " Dead March in Saul," and with silent, solemn precision the Brigade filed off, with arms reversed, in slow step. Scarcely had the roll of the muffled drums died away, than the band of the Ist Battalion of Royal Marines took up the strain, and the Marines fell in, and continued the procession at an equal pace. They were followed by another band, that of the 33d Regiment; but when the two united bands of the Scots Fusiliers and Coldstream Guards joined in the " Dead March," it was remarkable what a different effect they produced to the other bands, and how their precision and tone gave double power to this fine specimen of classic music. The Horse Guards (Blue), the Life Guards, the Bth Hussars, and the 6th Dragoons constituted a cavalry brigade, of which any nation might well be proud. The Speaker's State carriage, which made its rare appearance upon the scene, became an object of some interest and inquiry ; and when it was pronounced, by an unquestionable authority, that it was an old carriage of Oliver Cromwell's, it was stared at, and remarked upon with unsparing criticism, to which the long to )wing wig of t aker served but to supply further fuel. But the cynosure of all eyes was the gigantic car, and as it formed by far the most mag nificent and interesting feature of the procession, some account of its general design and most prominent details will not be out of place. The whole lower part is of bronze, supported on six wheels, and elaborated with an amount of skill and artistic feeling which deserve unqua lified praise. Above this metallic framework rises a rich pediment of gilding, in the panels of which the following list of victories is inscribed :—Ahmednuggur, Assaye, Argaum, Gavilghur, Roleia. Vimiera, Douro and Oporto, Talavera, Busaco, Torres Vedras, Fuentes d'Onor, Ciu dad Rodrigo, Badajos, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pampeluna, Pyrenees, St. Sebastian, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes, Tou louse, Quatre Bras, Waterloo. On the sides of this pediment were arranged lofty trophies of arms, including spears, muskets, bayonets, swords, and flags, and sur- mounted by the Ducal coronets and batons. A similar trophy stood in front, rising behind the arms of the deceased, cast in bronze, and surmounted by his heraldic badges and honours, including the tabard magnificently wrought and embroidered. Over the bier and its bearers, the gilded handles of which protruded from beneath, was arranged the sumptuous velvet pall, powdered with silver embroidery, bordered with laurels in silver, and showing the legend round it, " Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord," and terminated by a magnificent fringe of silver two feet deep. The coffin, with the Duke's hat and sword resting on it, surmounted the bier, and from four great halberts rising at each corner was suspended a magnificent canopy, with pendent cords and tassels of the richest and most costly description. To this gigantic vehicle, 27 feet long, 10 feet broad, 17 feet high, and weighing from 10 to 11 tons, 12 of the largest and finest black horses that could be procured were harnessed three abreast. They were completely covered with velvet housings, having the arms of the deceased splendidly embroidered on them, and with heads surmounted by nodding plumes they looked quite elephantine. Such was the funeral car as it fell into the line of procession sur rounded by a swarm of undertakers' men, and having on each side five colonels on horseback, bearing the bannerols of the Wellesley family. On its way towards the east end of the Mall many members of parliament and peers who had assembled at that point uncovered as it passed. When it had arrived opposite the Duke of York's column, the road, being in a soft and imperfect state, the wheels on one side became imbedded in mud, and it was found requisite to call in the assistance of a large body of police before they could be extricated. In consequence of this little accident fears were entertained that the pro gress of the ponderous vehicle might at other points be seriously interrupted. Such, however, was not the case, and though stoppages constantly took place they were all caused by the rapid pace of the horses as compared with the progress of the rest of the procession. Some time before the procession was formed, her Ma jesty, accompanied by her illustrious Consort, the Royal children, and the two Belgian princes, appeared in the centre balcony of St. James's Palace, and watched, with the deepest interest, the movements taking place on the Parade-ground, of which the Royal party must have had an excellent, though somewhat di: and solemn march of the procession also have been seen to the greatest a'avantage, as the leafless trees offered but slight obstruction to the eye. As the several regiments, headed by their bands, reached the end of the Mall, they saluted their Sovereign in due form. 1 His Royal Highness Prince Albert joined the procession from the Palace. and it was immediately afterwards that the stoppage, alluded to in the preceding paragraph, oc- curred. Passir proached Grosvenor-gate, the nun the park greatly increased, and nearly a filled with spectators. At the gate itself t and the eye naturally turned, in the first place, towards Apsley-house, which was completely closed, and had a strange, tenantless, deserted look, in the midst of the vast multitudes assembled all round it. The top of Crone -nor-place was filled, as far as a sight of the procession could be obtained, with a vast Ka of 14.upgan faces, Iv- up Constitution-hill, as the ca alt was made - turned and anxiously gazing at the pageant which swept along. Every window was filled, the housetops also swarmed with people, and the portico and roof of St. George's Hospital especially were crowded with human beings. Another striking point of view was formed by the arches leading into Hyde-park, the architecture of which acquired a new expression from the manner in which the people had grouped themselves within, above, and around it. At the great houses along the west end of Piccadilly the windows and balconies were completely oc cupied by the families who inhabit them and their friends, while the pavement on each side of the way was filled to the kerbstone with people. The long screen in front of Devonshire House was fitted up with spacious galle ries, which were all crowded. The Coventry Club ap peared for the day to be in possession of the ladies, who occupied its handsomely draperied balconies. And now, as the procession approached the head of St. James's street, and passed across the entrances of streets diverging on both hands from the route which it was taking, a new feature of the most rerrearksble kind began to develope it self. The entrances to those side streets were completely built up with living masses of men and women, forming, to all appearances, a mound or rampart of heads, which were all duly and respectfully uncovered as the stately fu neral car swept by. The windows, too, as far as the eye could reach, had people thrust from them eagerly gazing, and the housetops. of course, had their adventurous crowds of occupants. It almost seemed as if the whole world had assembled to witness the ceremonial, for the people were everywhere—built into the walls, swarming in the streets, and clustered like hives on every projection acd parapet. When St. James's-street was reached, the double view first, eastwards, along Piccadilly, and then down towards the Palace, was singularly impressive. There must have been 30,000 people within range of sight at this point, and the orderly and respectful behaviour of even the humblest among them, crowded and hemmed in as they were, cannot be too highly praised. The entire breadth of Piccadilly was closed in with an embankment of men and women, numbers of waggons, carts, coaches, and omnibuses having been placed in the roadway to give their occupants a more commanding view. The procession first entered Trafalgar-square at twenty seven minutes to ten o'clock (where a pause of a quarter of an hour ensued) and the last of it passed Nelson's column at twenty minutes past eleven. Just above the hum of human voices arose the solemn strains of the " Dead March in Saul," played by the band of the 2nd Battalion of the Rifle Brigade—on they came with the slow and measured tread of mourners, instead of with the impetuous and resistless force of And burning with high hope." On they came, battalion after battalion of that infantry which legions could not break—on rolled the guns of the Artillery, which have often belched forth their fatal mes sengers of death—on they came, the careless Lancer and the Light Hassar, with snowy plumes that dazzle in the sun—followed by the bold and dashing dragoon ; and be tween battalion and battalion, and squadron and squadron, were the hands pouring forth their sad lament. As Her Majesty's State band played the " Dead March in Saul," in its unequalled style, the effect was truly electrical on the assembled masses. Then came a long array of coaches resplendent in blazonry and gold, offering a strange con trast to the simple mourning coach ; then there were pennons and banners, and all that could add to the gor geousness of the funeral pageant ; and ere these had faded from the sight, a cry arose, " Hats off, hats off!" and the excited multitude surged and heaved like some great sea, which the fierce winds awake from slumber. From Charing-cross a new phase in the character of the funeral pageant and its reception became apparent. The demonstrations of respect became parochial, and the churches formed the great centres for spectators. S. Martin's-in-the-Fields, St. Mary-le-Strand, St. Clement Danes, and St. Dunstan's, had larger congregations than had probably ever visited them before, as thousands of people filled the spacious balconies that surrounded them. At ten o'clock, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor arrived at the end of Fetter-lane, in his state carriage, carrying the city sword, followed by Sheriffs Carter and Croll in two carriages. They were followed he the Aldermen and Recorder of London in their official robes. And lastly, came a deputation consisting of four earrinees. The names of the aldermen in attendance were Sir James Duke, Sir Chapman Marshall, and Messrs. Lawrence, Carden, Wilson, Sidney, Finnis, Moon, Wire, &c. At twenty-five minutes to eleven o'clock, the head of the procession made its appearance at Temple-bar, and in about an hour afterwards the superb car entered Fleet street, and the procession wended majestically towards THE LYING IN STATE We gave last week a full report of the proceedings at the Lying in State in the Great Hall of Chelsea Hospital, and of the melancholy accidents which occurred through the pressure of the crowd on Saturday. On Monday the police arrangements were more efficient, and 79,699 per sons obtained admission between nine and nine o'clock. On Tuesday the Hall was again visited by immense crowds • but, through the excellent police arrangements, no acci dent occurred, although 58,448 persons obtained admission between nine and five o'clock. On Wednesday the most intense excitement prevailed throughout the metropolis. The streets were blocked up with conveyances to an unprecedented extent, and the pavements so crowded with foot passengers, that it was with the greatest difficulty people could get from point to point. In the midst of• the general crush workmen were engaged in the most multitudinous variety of occupations —erecting scaffolding, fitting in seats, sawing wood, ad justing hangings—in short, doing everything that could possibly be desired for the occasion, and, not only during the day but throughout the night, was the din of prepara tion protracted. The lying in state terminated at five o'clock, having been visited during the day by 65,073 persons. In the evening the present Duke of Wellington, ac companied by many friends of the family, passed some time uninterrupted in the hall. The household were also admitted to take a last farewell of their illustrious mas ter's remains. At a late hour the coffin was removed to the Horse Guards, the largest apartment of which had been prepared for its reception. THE FUNERAL. The imposing ceremony of conveying the body of the illustrious ARTHUR, DUKE OF WELLINGTON, from the Horse Guards to St. Paul's Cathedral, for interment, took place on Thursday, with a pomp of pageantry for which we know no parallel. So intense was the public excitement to see the procession, that many thousands came from all parts of the kingdom, and during the whole of Wednesday there were continuous arrivals. So early as mid-day St. Paul's, Fleet-street, the Strand, and, in fact, every street along the whole route by which the funeral cortege was intended to pass, was crowded with persons anxious to examine and select for themselves the spot where they thought they could best obtain a view of the solemn procession ; and although the rain began to fall at nine, still many persons perambulated the streets, engag ing seats and marking favourable sites. The rain conti nued to fall during the whole night, and from midnight until about four in the morning there was almost a hurri cane of rain and wind. Notwithstanding this repelling state of the weather, many persons remained in the streets all night; and from two o'clock in the morning there were fresh arrivals from all points, taking up their places for the day. Throughout the whole route every available space was fitted up from basement to top with seats and galleries, for the accommodation of spectators; and as early as four o'clock in the morning the greater number of them were occupied. At that hour vehicles of every description began to arrive loaded with visitors, and the leading streets in the metropolis and the main roads in the suburbs were all covered with omnibuses, cabs, broughams, and carriages of all sorts, and in each lane and alley, in every road and street in and about the metropo lis there was a continuous stream of human beings to be seen wending their way to one orother of the great points of attraction. Even at that early hour St. Paul's Church yard was crowded, and on each side of Ludgate-hill, Fleet -street, and the Strand, there were rows of persons, two deep, closely pressed together. Before daybreak on Thursday, the troops appointed to take part in the fnneral began to muster in St. James's park, in the Mall, and on the parade ground behind the Horse Guards. The coaches also, which were to join in the procession, were assembled there, and within a spa cious tent workmen of all kinds, who had toiled inces santly the whole night through, were busily engaged in completing the decorations of the funeral car. Day broke heavily, the mind being loaded with moisture, the sky threatening-looking, and the streets giving the most une quivocal tokens of a night of heavy rain. As the clock in the turret chimed half-yast six, the gates were dune open, and, ie. an instant afterwards, the whole of the spacious area between the Horse Guards and the Park was peopled, as by enchantment, with soldiers in every variety of regi mental costume. The troops employed upon this solemn occasion were under the command of M.-General His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G. ; Colonel the Earl of Cardigan and Colonel Lord de Ros performed the duties of the Adjutant and Quarter Master General's departments, under his Royal Highness; and Lieut.-Col. Lord W. Paulet, unattached, Lieut.-Col. Lord G. Paget, 4th Light Dragoons, Lieut.-Col. Tyrwhitt, Scots Fusileer Guards, and Captain his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, acted as his Royal Higness's aides-de camp. The military force consisted of 17 pieces of Artil lery, eight squadrons of Cavalry, and six battalions of Infantry. The Brigade of Guards was under the command of M.-General Shaw, and consisted of the Ist Battalions of the Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, and Scots Fusileer Guards, respectively. M.-General Fane com manded the 33d Regiment, the Ist Battalion Royal Ma rines, and the 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade. Nine guns of the Field Batteries and eight guns of the Horse Artillery, under the command of Colonel Whinyates, R.A., were drawn up between the Duke of York's monument and the Carlton stables. On each side of the centre mall were drawn up the three squadrons of Household Cavalry, un der the command of M.-General Hon. H. F. Cavendish ; and in the same order and locality were stationed the Ca valry, consisting of one squadron each from the 6th Dra goon Guards, 2d Dragoons, Bth Hussars, 13th Light Dra goons, and 17th Lancers, all under the command of M. General Jackson. At a quarter before eight o'clock 17 minute guns were fired from the park batteries. In ten minutes afterwards the curtains of the tent were drawn aside by some invisible agency, revealing to the mournful gaze of the assembied soldiers, the coffin and funeral-car of their great commander. Then followed a scene which was all that the imagination can picture of tender, im pressive, and sublime. The troops drawn up in columns in front of the coffin instantly presented arms and reversed arms—the guns boomed their farewell shot—the bells pealed their funeral dirge, and the bands defiled, one after the other, playing alternately " The Dead March in Saul," and that yet more exquisite composition, " Before Jeho vah's awful throne.' It was a sight never to be forgot ten. Had it not been that the occasion suggested more solemn thoughts, one might have taken pleasure in notic ing the picturesque effect of the combination of colours, sounds, and objects—the churches and other public edifices towering, with a shadowy grandeur, which the melancholy tintings of a November sky rendered still more impressive, over a sea of human heads—the very roofs of the houses black with a lugubrious mass of mourning dresses and craped hats—the glaring gold uniforms of the heralds and trumpeters—the variegated costumes of the foreign offi cers—the scarlet liveries of Her Majesty's household— the glittering of steel, the nodding of crests, the waving of feathers—the measured tramp of war-horses—the roll of muffled drums, and the dismal clangour of a thousand bells. But who, with a heart to feel and a mind to think, could for one moment contemplate the end of all that was once powerful, affluent, and ereat, aid refuse to bestow a thought upon that mysterious ordinance of Providence whereby it. is decreed that there shall be one common re ceptacle for the children of Adam, where the monarch's sceptre lies side by side with the shepherd's crook, and peers and peasants meet on terms of equality. Who was he who on Thursday exchanged the society of countless multitudes for the silent solitude of the grave ? Who was he who, while living myriads thronged around his hearse, lay in his gorgeous coffin cold and unconscious as a statue, and with no more faculty of speech or thought than if in his lifetime he bad been some base-born peasant —some hewer of wood or drawer of water ? Was it not he who, during an almost immemorial existence, lived " in the front of good opinion ?"—he on whom, to quote the me lodious language of Tennyson— " from both her open hands Lavish Honor showered all her stars, And affluent Fortune emptied all her horn the same whose victorious sword swept like a meteor from Assaye to Waterloo—the same whose indomitable will subjugated every difficulty, and dashed through every oh stacle, "as fierce Penobscot dashes through the pines ?" —that iron warrior who closed in a deadly grapple with the world's conqueror, and hushed into ignoble silence that voice which rang like thunder through the world, adjudging with a word the fate of empires and the fall of kings ! And there he lay, throbless and inanimate, with " honour's voice" resounding in the air, yet powerless to " provoke his silent clay ;" with the syren notes of flat tery floating around him, yet with no magic to soothe " the dull cold ear of death." Such is human glory—such the doom of man—even in his best estate ! THE PROCESSION. The following was the order of the funeral procession, which we have slightly condensed, owing to the great pressure upon our space : INFANTRY.—Six Battalions with their bands, viz. :—the 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade; Ist Battalion Royal Marines; Her Majesty's 33d Regiment; Scots Fusileer, Coldstream, and Grenadier Guards.

Whatever may have been the enthusiasm and excite. ment at other parts of the route, the pulse of public feel ing certainly beat strongest throughout the day in the vicinity of St. Paul's Cathedral. The neces pleteness of the preparations occasioned Ary com a delay of some lalf-hour in the opening cf the doors to admit that por tion of the 17,000 spectators who were expected to be present at the earliest moment. By half-past eight, therefore, there had congregated about the entrance overeager crowd, to whom, when the doors were opene no slight confusion was created by the fact of the T e being so many kinds of tickets and authorities for issuing them. fficulties } ,retiminary a,._ :laving been satisfactorily adjusted, the public were ent:bled to take` their places, and gradually there was formed in the body of the Cathe dral a coup d' cell, which, in grandeur, variety of colour, lively motion, and picturesque massing, combined to form a spectacle whose grandeur and whose sentiment have never been equalled in any ceremonial exhibited in this country. A faint twinkling circlet of gas jets ran flicker ing round by the base of the great dome. In a line with the base, and stretching from capital to capital of the pilasters, the same simple but most effective decoration was called into use, and lighted the base of the semi circular roof with a line of bright fire. Sweeping round t' - - -*.and `‘..r . : floor t( the ,ne area, a grand circle of seats rose from the ._ furthest available height in the rear, spreading far into the transept in receding rows, and coming abruptly to a space of not more than four or five rows deep, where the broad pillars at the end of the nave cut off its further extension. The floor of the nave was covered with black cloth, and at each side was a long bench, extending from the entrance to the circular area under the dome, behind which rose a wooden partition, decorated by escocheons and naval officers, placed tier above ti a view of the procession to the area entrance and the sides of the transept were galleries which were very speedily filled. The seats at each side of the organ were also crowded, and the wide expanse of benches reserved for peeresses and their friends, which spread from the organ-loft almost to the floor of the area, ;r, so as to command Over the w were occupied by ladies, most of them in deep mournjng. In the centre of the area beneath the dome was placed a frame about 8 feet high, by the same length, and by a breadth of 5 feet, covered with black cloth, and some seats or hassocks were arranged around it, of the same colour with white borders. Directly in the centre of the south semi-circumference of the area was fixed the seat of the Lord Chancellor. Behind his Lordship's seat were the places reserved for the House of Lords. To their right, were the places reserved for the generals and other high officers. Opposite to the Lord Chancellor's chair was placed that of the Speaker of the House of Commons, and behind it were the seats for members of that body. On the left of the Commons sat the corps diplomatique. On the right of the Commons were the corporation of the city of London and the other corporations which had sent representatives. On the right of the corporations was the deputation from the University of Cambridge, while directly opposite to them came the deputation from the University of Oxford. It was in- tended at first that the four rows in front on each side of the nave should be occupied by military and naval officers, but the struggle to get in was so great, that the lines of red end blue were broken in upon and diversified by black and white. THE CATHEDRAL YARD. irriage at every part of the metropolis up to the hour of nine, when the Cathedral-yard had become a busy scene. Orderly officers were continually riding in with messages and in structions ; but it was not until 20 minutes to eleven that the first announcement of the approach of the procession reached the eager ears of the assembled multitudes. The word to fall in was given ; the muffled sounds of drums rolling an accompaniment to the " Dead March" was borne upon the wind. Soon was seen that agitation of spectators from afar, which announces the coming of some long expected procession ; and then might be seen coming up the hill a heavy column of troops, and the bright sun glancing upon their helmets, betokened the advance of a vanguard of horse soldiers. On reaching the outer en trance they filed off to the left, and made way for the advance of the band of the Ist Grenadier Guards, who came up through the churchyard to the western entrance. They were followed by the regiment, and separated to the right and left outside the railing, and halted with t'ueir arms reversed. Through the opening thus made, there came up unex pected, with that briskness and vivacity which seems pe culiar to their entrance as a body to all public places, the 500 members of the House of Commons, who, having met in their palace at 10 o'clock, as pre-arranged, had come down to Paul's wharf by water in Citizen steam-boats, and had thus contrived to be just in time to be too late to take their places so as to receive the opening part of the pro cession in due and proper form. The military halted to make way for them, and they speedily bustled up the steps and down the nave into due decorum. The Grenadiers then, still with arms reversed, marched off with arms reversed, and the band of the Artillery next appeared, followed by nine guns of the field battery—in themselves a grand spectacle. The band of the 17th Lancers, the 13th Light Dragoons, the Bth Hussars, and the Scots Greys, each followed by squadrons of their regiments, successively crested the hill, and tiled off to the right. It was impossible, in looking upon the latter regiment, as they came into sight, not to think of, under such circum stances, the reluctant admiration which their gallantry had rung from even Napoleon himself when he saw them advancing in fatal charge upon his infantry at Waterloo. Deputations of public bodies immediately followed, in cluding the East India Company, the Corporation of the T • FT - the I • •t.. - •t Deputy-Lieutenant a Trinity House, .Jtentenant anu Dover Castle, the Captains of Deal, Walmer, Sandgate, and Sandown, the Board of Ordnance, the Common Council and the University of Oxford. Next followed the Guidon, carried for Sir Howard Douglas by Lord Arthur Cunningham ; and a brilliancy unusual in a funeral cor tege was imparted to the scene by the carriages of the sheriffs. the banner of Wellesley, the Duke of Northum the speaker all gildings, paintings, and plate glass, fol lowed by the splendid equipages of royalty, containing his Royal Highness Prince Albert and suite. The funeral car was now seen to the greatest advantage as it ascended the hill, and the effect of the lone sweeping line taken by the twelve magnificent horses, with this gorgeous catafalque, as they drew up to the entrance, is one which those who have seen can never forget. His Royal Highness Prince trance to meet the last remains of his n friend. ,t hono INTERIOR OF THE CATHEDRAL Ane Foreign Ministers and members of the nristoc began to arrive about half-past nine o'clock.
