PVIVERAL OP THE QUEEN OP DUDE.

The funeral of the Queen of Dade took place
yesterday at Paris, and was conducted with extraordinary
magnificence. The body was embalmed on Monday night,
and for the purposes of the operation, according to the
custom of the religion to which the deceased belonged, it
was found necerary to construct a kind of wooden platform
in the court yard of the hotel where the body of the princess
could undergo the ceremony of thorough ablution. The
features of the deceased were but very little changed. No
incisions ware made for the operation of embalming, as is
usual in Europe ; the people of the suite, who themselves
effected the operation, introduced aromatic substances and
perfumes through the mouth, ears, sad nostrils, and re-
portedly anointed the body with odoriferous oils and essener.
The body was afterwards wrapped round with bands of
fine muslin, and the whole covered with a crimson cloth
embroidered In gold. After this had been done, the cell-
, gloms service commenced. The females, whether relatives of
the deceased or ladies of the palace, and afterwards the
officers and servants, entered successively into the chamber
where the body was laid out, and where two priests recited
the prayers prescribed by the religion in which the prince's
had lived. The females uttered deep grow, and the min
showed every sign of grief. No light was burning in the
room, but a fire was lighted in the court, which was, so-
cording to custom, to be kept burning until after the body
had been removed. The hearse end mourning coaches sr.
rived at the door of the Hotel Witte at ten o'clock yesterday
morning, but were sent away again, in warty:mos of the
fire not having been burning long enough. The funeral pro-
cession was not formed till two o'clock. The Mere, which
was entirely covered with silver tissue, was drawn by six
white homer The chief mourner was the youngest son of
the late Queen, Mime Hemet Lekendal Behadar, who bears
the title of General, and is • brother of the sovereign now
confined in Calcutta. He is • man of about SO years of age,
of good height, and rather corpulent. He wore en his fore-
head a diadem ornamented with rubies, and wee dressed in
rich silk and velvet robes. This high personage arrived from
London on Tuesday, and on presenting himself at the Hotel
Lailitte all the officers and servants in the Queen's suite
prostrated themselves before him. It is worthy of note that
Mims Itahadar, while following the coffin on foot, leant on
the arm of General D'Orgoni. A very great crowd as-
sembled in the Rue Latta to see the procession per.
When the body left the house a number of Indian WOWS
of extraordinary ugliness, but dressed in rich sad
picturesque .oestames, appeared weeping in the balcony ;
they were probably attendants of the late Queen. There
were about a dozen natives, who followed Mirza Behaer ea
mourners on: foot, and there was a line of ten mourning
coaches, all filled. The body was interred in the Mussulmen
owasimry at Pere la Chaise. It appears that tbs deceased did
not belong to the Buddhist religion, but was a Mahookotto.

birth, which none of her attendants were able to state.
