The guard of honour of the Grenadier Guards,
of which his late Royal Highness was colonel,
mounted at the entrance to the state apartments
shortly after eleven o'clock, •nd the carriages of
which the funeral procession was to be formed,
were assembled close at hand. At ten mingles to
twelve o'clock, the minute guns commend liring
in the Park, the coffin was brought out, and
the procession formed according to the order
et the printed programme.
The procession thus formed proceeded at a
slow end solemn pace to 8.. George's Chapel,
the only incident that had not been previously set
down being that some wreaths of flowers were
brought out of the state apartments and carried
along with the procession, in order that they
might be laid upon the coffin when the latter had
been deposited in its final resting-place.

11 Those who bad had the honour to receive the
Queen's enenniands to attend the ceremony, but
who did not take part in the prooession, were ad-
mitted to St. George's Chapel by Wolsey's Chapel
at half-past eleven, and were at once conducted to
seats in the choir. At 12 o'clock the royal family
and other royal personages assembled in the
chapter-room of St. George's Chapel, from which
they were conducted to their phone in the proces-
sion by the Lord Chamberlain, waisted by the
Vice-Chamberlain.

In the chapel itself the arran,gementa were precisely
thew= seatthe haneralof the lateDuchem of Kent.
The centre of the nave was filled throughout its
entire length by a raised platform covered with
black cloth, along which the solemn procession was
to come on its w►y to the choir. In the choir the
floor was covered with black cloth, ezoept a thin
white line running along the centre, and termi-
nated by an oblong space, also bounded with• white
line which marked the aperture down which
were so soon to descend the remains of the
illustrious dead. There was something awfully
suggestive is that ghastly white line run-
ning along the black flooring, and in that
equally ghastly white parallelogram within
whose dread inclosure the dead royalty of England
sinks solemnly from mortal gaze. As we looked
upon that white line we could not help recalling
the period, so very recent, when the Prince Consort
himself stood at its had ea chief mourner at the
funeral of her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Kent. It was but a few months aince—and then
his Royal Highnees stood in the full bloom of his
health and manhood, but looking with sad and
serious earnestness down into the chasm. Who
that was then present could have thought that the
mourner was so soon to descend into the chasm him-
self, and to take his place beside the aged Princess,
over wham obsequies he was then presiding ! The
thought must have occurred to many in that
chapel yesterday, who were habitual attendants
at royal funerals.
At ten minutes past twelve the funeral proces-
sion entered the nave.

The platform along which the procession came
was bounded on each side by a rail, beyond
which were grouped, in deep mourning, the
servants of the royal household. By this time all
the persons of distinction who had received invita-
tions had been conducted to their places in the
chapel, including the whole of the Cabinet Ministers
except Lord Palmerston, whose attendance was
prevented by indisposition. The procession might
have been more imposing if all who assisted in it
had been duly impressed with the solemnity of the
oricesion, but we regretted to observe that the line
was sometimes allowed to be broken and to become
irregular, and that persons who ought to have
set an example of solemn decorum occasionally
turned and chatted carelessly to each other as they
came along. The Queen's pages came first, and after
them hie late Royal Highness's yiigers, iu their
characteristic uniform. The grief of one of these
poor fellows was one of the most touching episodes in
the whole ceremonial. A great stalwart man, he
sobbed as if his heart were breeling ; and, when
the seems musk of the choir burst forth, seemed

The serene was read with much impressive-
new by the Dean of Windsor, but we noticed that
the reverend gentleman's voice often faltered in the
delivery of thaw preasges which refaced most di-
, reetly to the deceased. As the coffin was borne
slowly up the aisle both it and the bearers were
I completely covered by the pall, withits embroidered
hatolunests and white border, and the effect was
most angular, the whole looking like some great
riimal making slowly tar the claim round
white ma many of the mast diellogninedlemsnages
in the land wore just then congregated. When the
coffin was placed on the platform over the
vault the pall was removed, and the crown and
marshal's hat, which had been temporarily taken
away, were restored to their places on the crimson
velvet coffin. The remainder of the bens/ service
was then proceeded with, the choral portion being
magnificently rendered by the choir, especially
Luther's Hymn, in which Mr. Tolley's peculiarly
rick tenor voice was heard to great advantage.
Previous to the lowering of the coffin into the vault
there was one moment daring which the interior
of the chapel presented a most impressive and
striking picture. The general tone was of
the most sombre hue, the black floor'
cloth being scarcely relieved by the sable
habiliments of the distinguished visitor who
stood up in the stalls on either aide. The Cabinet
Ministers included Earl Russell, Lord Granville,
Mr. Gladstone, the Duke of Newcastle, Sir C.
Wood, Sir George Lewis, and Sir George Grey ;
and amongst the peers we noticed the Earl of Car,
Dentin, the Duke of Buccleuch, the Duke of Wel-
lington, the Marquis of Exeter, and Lord Portman.
At the upper end of the chapel stood the Dean
and his assisting clergyman, and about the coffin
I stood the great Officers of State and Garter King-
at-Arms, ready to throw the insignia of the Order
on the lid as it descended. A mellow light streamed
down through the great stained glass window, and
threw out the crimson colour of the coffin and the
bright uniform of the one military officer, General
Seymour, who stood near the grave. When
the hat and baton of the Field-Marshal, and the
crown of the Prince were placed upon the coffin, the
latter was slowly lowered ; then the Garter King-
at-Arms recited the titles and quality of the de-
ceased, and throwing the Garter down upon the
lid, the machinery was put in motion, and the whole
rapidly disappeared from view. It was noticed
that after the first moment or two the descent of
the coffin was much more rapid than at the Duchess
of Kent's funeral.

A few more words will complete our amount
of this sad and solemn ceremonial. When the
coffin had descended and the aperture had closed
over it, the chief mourner and the visitors
left the chapel, the general company followed noise-
lessly by different doors, and in a few momenta the
sole occupants of the royal chapel were the illus-
trious dead.

While the royal family and other royal ,per-
sonages were conducted out of the chapel, and
the others composing the procession retired,
the " Dead March" in Saul was played. A guard
of honour of the Grenadier Guards (of which re-
giment his late Royal Highness was colonel) were
mounted during the ceremony at the mambos of
St. George's Chapel. A troop of the Royal Horse
Artillery was stationed in Windsor-park, and fled
minute guns during the progress of the procession
and the ceremony.
