WINDSOR, MONDAY Noes.
The grief which during the last week has been
`diffused throughout the country from the moment
it beard of the delth of the Prince Consort, seems
to hay. 3 concentrated itself at Windsor. The signs
lof mourning are visible, not only iu those external
symbols which customarily represent sorrow, but
they are to be read iu the countenances as they
exist in the hearts of all. The late Prince was too
well known, his presence was too familiar, and his
character too near the people of the royal town of
Windaornot toimpart to them a tleeper,though not a
sincerer sorrow than has pervaded the whole nation
at the loss it has sustained. On the arrival of the
special train which conveyed those who had the sad
privilege of attending the funeral, mourning car-
riages were ready at the Windsor terminus, and
conveyed them to St. George's Chapel, where the
funeral ceremony was performed, the Dean of
Windsor officiating. Tho Chapel Royal, from floor
to ceiling, was a mass of black, which, combined
with the deep silence of the mourners and the
solemn sadness of the ocostion, filled the mind of
t
, he beholder with a feeling more of awe than of
gloom.
