Very Bev. Gerald Welloslay, Dina of Weor' the °bora

Bt. George's Chapel, being sung by Marne. Adams, Mar-
riott, Mitchell, H. Baraby, Taey, Dyson, Briip, float,
Bridgewater, Branson's, and the choristers of the ca-
thedral.

The first anthem, t chorale, was as follows :
I shall sot in the arose remain,
Mar Thou death's beads haat severed ;
By hope with Thee to rise again,
From fear ef death delivered.
I'll mine to Thee whae'er Thou art,
Tire with Thee, from Thee oe'er pat;
Therefore to die is
And in to ?mai autstriftni7o.,
M longing arms extending;
Bo fall asleep in plumber deep
BlLTaber that knows no online,
Till Jesus anal, God's only Son.
Opens the mites of bills--leads on
To Ileaven to life eternal.
After a prayer tl.e 23rd, 112th, and 146th Psalms were
read by the Lean of Windsor' the choir responding.
The Kemal anthem after the Psalms was as follows :
UN body is buried in pour,
But hi. name Utah memory —Am^n.
The service was closed with an appropriate prayer.
Dean Stanley was present at the service.

The new tomb, in which the remains of the late Prince
hare at last found a resting place, was hewn from a solid
block of dark grey Scotch granite. When the sarco-
phagus was calved the hollow within was made large
enough to receive two coffins. In this the Prince's corpse
Las just been deposited, the coffin occupying just one
half the hollow, the other being, it is said, reserved for
the sorrowing widow of the Prince whose royal wish is to
be beside her late husband when called from this earth.
Upon the ponderous lid, which fits closely to the lower
put of the sarcophagus, and upon the half exactly over
the coffin, Ike the recumbent figure of the deceased Prince
wrapped in royal robes and with his bead supported
by • cushion. This fine work of art was executed in
white marble by Baron Marochetti. Four large bronec
angels with clasped hands and outstretched wings relieve
the otherwise simple aspect of the sarcophagus, and upon
the side of the tomb, nearest the Prince's coffin, in carved
and gilt letters, is this inscription :
Francis Albert Agustas Charts Emmannol, Doke. of Baxeey
and Prince of Base °Aunt and (halm, Prince Conanet;
Ifs and roe of Ernest 1., reigning Duke of Base Coburg and
uoths. Bore at Roseaau, sear Coburg, Arwg es, 18111. Married
Feb. 10, to Victor* Quern of °rat Britain end ',viand.
Died at Windsor, Dee. 14, 1861.
Her Majesty the Queen, and the Princes and Princesses,
before leaving the mausoleum, piously laid wreaths of fin-
mortelles against the sarcophagus. The mausoleum is now
nearly complete, with the exception of some of the decora-
tions. The walls and floor are of coloured marbles,
Egyptian, Sienna, &c. Baa reliefs of scriptural subjects
and -a painting of the " Resurrection" adorn the walls,
and funeral urns the passage round the octagon, while for
lighting gilt chandeliers depend from the roof.
After her Majesty and the venous members of the
royal family had retired, by command of the Queen the
domestics of the royal household and their families and
the Castle tradesmen were permitted to show their respect
to the memory of the Prince by visiting the mausoleum,
which remained open for that purpose from 12 till 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. The general public were, however,
excluded.

ItiritovEl) GOVERNMENT FOR LONDON.—The
active promoters of the movement to establish one or
more municipalities in London are watching with much
anxiety the prospect which a change of government
offers to them. The recent speeches of the Lord
Chancellor and the Lord Chief Baron, on receiving the
Lord Mayor, were considered remarkable indications of
• coming change. Mr. Gladstone,. in 184 said, "he did
not abandon the hope that we might see • larger and
much more effective application of the valuable principle
of municipal self-government to the metropolis than any
that had hitherto been made." Mr. H. A. Bruce, the
Home BtZt7 " as strongly pledged; and the fact
that be • the memorial to the late Home Secretary
in favour of an improvedfonn of government for London,
is much relied on. Mr. Ayrton's active efforts
in the same cause are well known. Although
he differed from Mr. Mill in details, he was
equally earnest in proposing a change. Mr. Lewd
was an earnest oolleague of Mr. Mill's in introducing
the bilk In addition, Mr. Cardwell in the lad two
remions was brought prommentlgel ri
man of the Metropolis Gas Commi with the =enj contact, ea chair-

wants of London. Mr. Lowe and . Goechen are both
relied on as friends of the cause. Mr. Grant Duff, Mr.
Stansfeld, and Mr. Lefevre are looked to to co-operate in
an real effort at improvement. Mr. Charles Buxton,
, concert with Mr. Thomas Hughes,M.P.,
Mr. M.P.
Walter Morrison,and Mr. George Tomlins,
