FUNERAL OP !Si LA rz LOAD PRIMATE OP

thiiiiiii):

(Abridged from the Northern Whip.)
Yesterday (Wednesday), the mortal remainK of
his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Armagh, Primate of All
Ireland, were deposited in the crypt of the cathedral, Ar-
ray* an edifice that owes mach to his fostering care and
nr..ety. On entering the palatial city yesterday morniag
asy to see that aomething of an extraordinary nature
was in progress. Dinning@ of every description, moo
that of the hotels, was suspended, and the inhabitants
the streets, ors_ ood at the doorways and windows,
watching the crowds of strangers and illustrious personage,
pour into the city by train, by carriage, and by car. At
the corners of the streets were groups of country people
who had come into the city at an early hour for
the purpose of witnessing the procesrion, and in that ram
of the city near the cathedral and the entrance gates of
the palace it wee almost impossible to make one's way, net
was the dense mass of people of all classes. Tba !traumas
of the principal hotels of the city were taxed to the utmost.
It is impossible to give even a remote guess of the
number of strangers present. Besides the regular trans
from Monaghan, Dublin, and Belfast. all of which wen
heavily laden with passengers of the upper sod =die
cheese—the greater proportion, of course, being clergymen
of the established church—there were coal trains from
the North and the South ; and not for several generation',
has there been such a vast concourse of the no-
Criltrciergy, gentry, and middle classes assembled at one
time in the ancient city.
Shortly after one o'clock the procession began to form,
and by half-put one the long and melancholy corm :fie moved
from the trout of the palace down the carriage way to the
principal outlet from the demesne.
The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland was chief mourner.
The great banner was borne by the son of the Marquise(
Waterford, the youthful Earl of Tyrone. It was decorated
with the arms of the see of Armagh, impeller the quar-
tered coat of the late Lord Primate Bereeford and De La
Poer.
The hearse was drawn by six horses draped in black. It
was a chaste acid simple constructioo, of medireval design.
Following the chief monreare were the carriages of. the
nobility and gentry, ea follows :—The late Primate's carnage,
Fade( Godard, Lord Li:waist, Lewd Clermont, Sir James IL
Strong% Bart.; Lady Rowanore, Hun. Mrs. Caulfeild, Max-
well Close, IL P.; Colonel Cross, Lc.
Amongst the nobility and official personages we soloed
Lord Bellew, Lieutenant of the county Louth ; Colonel
Caulfeild, Lieutenant of the county Armagh ; Jonathan
Richardsoo, Esq., M.P. ; Peter Quinn, Eaq., M.P. ; the
Bight Hon. Judge Keating, E. Blackburn, Eeq., memos-
iog his father, the Lord Chief Justice of Appal ;'u
Thomas Staples, Bad., Q.C., kw.
The Dean of Armsgb read the Burial Service, and the
clergy and others present joined heartily in the responeeu.
The service having been brought to a conclusion.
Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster King-of-Arms, proclaimed
the style and title of the deceased as follows :—"Thus ha
it pleased Almighty God to take out of this transitory life,
aeoording to His divine mercy, the Most Reverend Father
in God has Grace Lord John George De La Pow Beresfoed,
Lord Archbiabop of Armagh, and Lord Bishop of Cl her,
Primate and Metropolitan of All Ireland, Lord High
Almoner to her liady, and one of her Majesty's Hod
Hon. Privy Council en Ireland, Prelate of the Most 1110-
itiolla Order of Saint Patrick, and Chancellor of the
versity of Dublin."
The procession then re-formed, sod passed out of the
nave as it had entered, promeding to the crypt at the ears
end of tht cathedral, where the body was deposited by
the side of
the great and good Primate Robinson. and the
sad and sombre proceedings came to an end about half-past
3 o'clock.
His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant and suite returned to
Dahlia last night ; and, most of the strangers having de-
parted soon after the termination of the gorgeous ceremoey,
the city was left to its usual repose.
