procession: ' • • •• •
In this order 'the funeral cortege moved along the
•
assigned,
,routealong Lime-street, Ra4elaghjst'reet,
Bold-street, Leece-street, and Rodney-street,. halting at,
the north gate of St. James's cemetery. As theproces-
sion paised up Bold-street and Leece-Street, the bells of
St.' Luke's rang a muffled peal. Throughout the whole
route the sides were threnged with „spectators., Flags
were heisted.half,mast on St. George's Itall,ihe Queerea
Hotel, the Liver Establishment, and other places of ,
business; Mr. Branch, in Hanover-street, having the.
British ensign displayed at half. mast.
On arrival at the cemetery the..corpse was removed
to the chapel, which was filled with siiectators, and the
funeral service was then read by the Rev. Q. T. Pizey,
who having for some time been charged with the educa-,.
tion of the eldest sorrof the deceased, had been selected
to
,perform the last sacred ritei. The corpse was con-
veyed from the chapel along the circuitous and Some-
what picturesque path, to the lower part of the cemetery,
and in a short time the crowd of mourners had assem-:
bled near the family vault, at the north-east end of
the burial-ground, 'while the shelved pathways were
occupied by less interested spectators. It was estimated
that few under ten thousand persons witnessed the
ceremony over the grave.. In a few moments the funeral
rites were concluded; and, after a short time had been
given to the many curious persons who pressed forward
to get a last glimpse of that which contained the mortal
remains of the departed, the grave was filled in.

The coffin was covered with black, and had on a
brass plate, bearing the following inscription

William Harrison,
Died
January 21st, 1660.
Aged 46 Years.
The hearse and mourning toadies were provided by
10. Busby.
The flags of most of the vessels in the doiclo and
harbour were hoisted half mast high during the day ;
and it was pleasing to notice that this demonstration of
sympathy vas, not confined to the British vessels, but
was shared in by those of foreign nations.

The Constitutionnel Announces that, owing to the
favourable result of e?cperiments already made, the inten-
tion is entertained of mounting all the French regiments

LORD LYNDIIURST.—The noble and learned lord has
quite recovered from the slight indisposition he was
labouring under when he returned to town from St.
Leonard's-on-Sea. The venerable lord, now father to
the House of Peers, was present at the debate in the
House of Lords on Tuesday evening, and was most
cordially welcomed by his numerons friends in that
assembly.
BARON POEkte..--It is with much sorrow (says the
Unione) that we announce that the illustrious Baron
Poerio is suffering from a serious malady. His health,
which had suffered so much from his imprisonment in
irons in the Bourbon of Naples, is now threatened with
typhus fever. All his old companions in misfortune
surround his couch, and his house is constantly filled
with his dear friends, who express the most ardent wishes
for his recovery.
