WINDSOR, MONDAY.

Every shop is closed, and every blind down.
Contrary to expectation but few persons have ar-
rived from London. Much disappointment
felt at the entire exclusion of the public
from the line of procession. A special train
arrived from London at 11.30 with ninny of the
principal mourners. The battery of Arni,troug
gum is in the Park.

At 12 o'clock the booming of a gun announced
that the procession had started, and the troops
reversed their arms; the carriages arrived i
the order indicated by the programme, the'
sombre character contrasting with the, seedy
uniforms of the military. The mourners entere
