late Venerable Archdeacon Brooks on the morning of Thurs-

by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of the diocese. As had
been previously arranged by the various municipal and other
public bodies, in concurrence with the family of the deceased,

neighbourhood; by the magistrates of the borough and county;
and by representatives of the various charitable institutions
connected with Liverpool; the churchwardens, and members
of the Select Vestry; West Derby Guardians; and a great
assemblage of the influential inhabitants of Liverpool and its
vicinity.

street, Daulby-street, Brownlow-street, Brownlow-hill, to
Mount-pleasant, and by Rodney-street to St. James's Ceme-
tery. All these streets were densely crowded by a vast con-

At a quarter before twelve the mournful procession reached
the cemetery, around the entrance to which barriers had been
constructed to prevent confusion or undue pressure. In the
cemetery the arrangements were such as to produce an effect
at once pleasing and solemn. The children of the Blue Coat
Hospital were ranged on the terrace at the south side of the
Chapel, the boys occupying one side, and the girls the other.
The boys and girls belonging to the Industrial and Work-
house Schools occupied the sides of the principal walk leading
to the vault. All the boys had been supplied with bands of
black crape, which were worn round the left arm, the girls
having black gloves. The terraces were occupied by the chil-
dren of the Orphans' Asylums, boys and girls, and by those of
the St. Peter's Church National Schools and the Welsh Cha-
rity Schools. In all, the children belonging to the various
schools are supposed to have numbered upwards of 1600;
besides these interesting spectators of the solemn scene, the
various walks and terraces were crowded by hundreds who
had secured entrance to the cemetery.
The Bishop of Chester, who had arrived about half-past 11,
met the body at the gate. On reaching the gate the occu-
pants of all the carriages alighted, and in regular order en-
tered the cemetery, although only the mourners, pall-bearers,
the clergy, and a few others, could be accommodated in the
chapel.
The coffin having been placed on a bier near the middle of
the chapel, the Bishop commenced the burial service, which
he read in an impressive manner. At the conclusion of the
