While this coach stopped up the road at the

Wilde, who was in the state apartment, that he
wished to nee Mr. Batley I this Gentleman- int-
enediately went to Mr. Wilde, acrd on his entering
the apartment. Mr. Wilde presented him with •
..written protest against the removal of her Majerty's

languages declaring the conduct pursued by his
ilajesty's Ministers to he most disgraceful, as well
us illegal. He declared that the body was taken by
force against the will of the Executors, sod called
upon Mr. Bailey to give him sonic information as
to where he intended to take the procession, by
what route, and where was its destination P
Mr. Bailey complained that every impediment

The preparations being at length completed, the

mute, it appears, commenced by Sir George
Nailer removing the Brown and other emblems cf
royalty, which, with the assistance of Metonyms
and Mr. Austin, were placed in the coach in
which Sir George was to travel. The coffin
was theta placed in the hearse. The emotion was
deep and intense oolong the company as this
part of the ceremony woe carrying into effect.
Nothing after that appeared to retain any notice
from the assembly. The procession began to move
from' the bonse at about right o'clock. By a
quarter item, eight the heed of it had ap-
mooched the church. The anxiety of the mul-
titudes was et the highest. The rain began to fall
more heavily titan ever. A line of umbrellas
formed a close covering on either ride of the road,
the limits of which were from tio single point of
view detiueable. The procession moved through the
town, the line of road being still undetermined, as
far as the peblte were concerned. The stillness
and silence which prevailed among riving masses of
such extent were as awful as the ocessitio of them.
The procesetou was headed by the undertakers.
Au escort of cevelry followed, next came six
mourning coaches and Sill. Sir George Playler
came next in her late Majesty's state carriage,
with the regalia piecvti • before him. The
hearse, with high black plumes, was drawn
next by eight bays. The wren of Brunswick and
England were quartered on the sides: the iuitials
C. It. were emblazoned on the end. Fifteen
mourning coaches and six each succeeded, con-
tenting the persous of her Majesty's household, mid
risme of her immediate friends. In one of these

we observed Aldermen lVood seated with. us stated
above, Count Vassaii. The funeral apparel worn
by the female attendants prevented the recognition
of their quality. Their eyes were suffused with
tears. The same deep tokens of grief were silently
steeling clown the cheeks of many hundred females
collected in the upper rooms of the houses, and on
elevated spots about the roads. A long line of
imitate couches succeeded meat, a few were unoccu-
pied ; Mr. J. Macdonald and Sir G. Noel were seen
in two of them; Sheriff IVaithinon was in his
state carriage ; Mr. Whitbread used his coach,
drawn by four horses with very rich furniture*.
The horsemen succeeded. Rack of them, dressed in
black, wore a hatband and • scarf of crape—the
bridles were mounted with three rosettes of crape.
They were headed by Sir R. Wilson, Mr. Hume,
Mr. Hobhousei slid other Gentlemen of politi-
cal distinction: The Hammersmith Committee
came last. There were tiz black coaches and four
in their processiotl. A long string of one-horse
chaises formed the rear. There were besides those
before-mentioned a great ntatiber of coaches which
had been engaged by private parties, end fell in at
the close, without other reference to the arrange-
ments of the prucessiou. It was 41 minutes past
tight ere the last (*schwas in motion. They moved

ineutioned linos, at that essly hour, and iu the
midst of the cositiuurd 'shower, formed a stream of
populatiou which iu density equalled auy that
has been witnessed iu the same places at any

diately hastened iu *heals towards the Imo indicated,

Nearly at the uwne time some horsemen who en-
tered Piccadilly at Hyde Park-corner, proclaimed
as they rode along that the funeral ails moving by
Kensington Grovel Pits towards Bayswater, whicb
again set the crowd in motion iu an opposite direc-
tion. Many remained wholly untufluenced by the
reports on either side, relying upon what they con.
ceived the better information which they had pre..
view% obtained. The most immovable, however,
occrsiotrally betrayed some wisgiviugs, and some
tramrieot doubts of having been misled, sod as they
noted the doubt, the anxiety, the restless incertitude
of thei► fellow., whose apprehensions of losing the
sight, kept them constautly in minims, curses 6• not

Liverpool's letter, inclining in favour of the route
by Bayswater, the great body of the crowd settled.
itself along the road from Bayswater to Ty hunt; and
thence along the Edgwar►-road, and the Nrw•roed,
from Paddington, towards the City-toad. A con-
siderable number of carriages stud nioteruiug
mdse., filled with persons iistenuing to join iu
the funeral procession, stationed themselves is
waiting along that liue ; the footways were crowded
with► expectant. anxious to behold the bight, arid
cart*, waggon", and caravans in considerable num-
bers, drew up by the wayside fur the purpose of
affording a better •iew to such as wert• willing to
pay for the accommodation.
The procession moved through crowds of people,
in a soletnu manner, as far as Kensington. It thus
appeared that it was the intention of the conductors,
in pursuance of the orders of the Government, to
turn the procession to the left, through the Gravel-
pits to the Ili:bridge-road, whence they might pro•
reed by Tyburn Turnpike and the Edgware-road
to the end of the New-road ; but an unexpected
obstacle was found to this arrangement. Two
waggons were drawn across the street which led to
the Gravel-pits; one of them kidded, the other
errs a military waggon. On the representation of
some persons in the suite, the military waggon was
speedily removed ; but this was tio sooner done than
another waggon, which war on the other side of the
main street, was thrust by the people into the gap.
The people berated determined to resist any at-
tempt to remove these waegoos, and continually
cried, " Through the City ! through the City !"
There was no attempt at this time to remove the
waggons by force. The soldiers, who all shrug
acted with temper, vat quietly on their horses in
their places which► had been wesigned to theta in the
train.

A messenger was sei.t from Kensington to Lord
Liverpool. Meantime the barrier was increased by
the constant accumulation of curls from behind.
The conductor cf the procession would not take
upon himself the responsibility of moving in any
other direction than that laid don't in the written
instructions. The procession reached Kensington at
half-past nine. It was not till after eleven that it
moved on again, in consequence of a message, it
•as said, from the Earl of Liverpool. This, how-
ever, in the crowd and confusion, it was impossible
to eacertsiu correctly. The procession then moved

on to the gate into Hyde Park, uear Ke,L,ingtoo,
and an attempt was made to pass with the proces-
siou iuto the Park; bet this failed, fur the people.,
appreheueive that the hearse would the. be turner
out of the direct road into the New-road, and wuul,
wet pew through the City, shut the gates, and th.
conductors coti*euted to on through Kensing-
ton Gore Mad Kuightsbridge.
When the procession reached Hyd4OPark-corner,
it met a troop of the Life Guards etta,n up there;
at whose appetuuncer much dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed by the people. The procennoul then went
ou to Parki-laua, but the people were so thick, alit'
so marry obstructions were placed iu the way, that
it was not deemed possible to pass in that direction

Soon after the cavalcade had passed Hyde Perk-
corner and was proceeding down Piccadilly with the
intention of passing through the City. a .trop;
body of military arrived, tad with seise dicult%
succeeded in turning it back into Hyde Park. Tlir
Stanhope and Grosvenor gates were shut, and a
small party of Life Guard* pieced at each, to pre
vent the procession prising owt by them. Thee.
soldirre were severely pelted by the mob with

stoner and gravel from the road, which they bort.'
with exemplary patieuce and forbearance. On thr
arrival of the bead of the cavalcade at Cumberland-

glee, two Life Guards posted .t the Lodge at-
tempted to prevent its passing through the gate,
as is supposed for the purpose of detaining the pro-
cession uutil the obstruetion of the Edgware-road
should he removed, the populace. having in song
degree barricaded it with a fence of posts, rails, and,
other materiels hastily collected. The number of
people in the Park at this period was immense, and

the Tyburn-rood, Edgware-road, Park-lain,
Oxford-street, and Cumberlaud-street, with ever)
*resin leading to that quarter, were densely crowded.
A strong party of Life Guards were drawn acros.
Oxford-street, from the top of Park-lantr, to prevent
the passage of the cavalcade in that direction, and
the Officer commanding it arts exeeedivgly activr
in the distribution of his orders to the men
posted at the several points. Upon him st,
attack was first made by the mob, who assailed
him with brickbats, stone*, mud, and gravel,
which compelled hint to retire for an instant, alit.,
a more furious attack with the same sort of missilesl
was wade upon his party. At this period Sir Reber,
Baker, having iu vain endeseoured to open a pas-
sage through the emir, and to remove the inipeds.l
meats front the entrance to the Edgware-road, read
the Riot Act, and the military preparing to mov.
the populace began to retreat io all directions.
About thirty yards of the iron calling on the parapet
wall of Hyde Park, hetweeu Cumberland-gatt
and Tyburn-turnpike, were torn town, and a way
thus made for the passage of the moltisaihr. Titt
materials of the wall wan immediately eouverted into
ammunition by the reek and a party of the
Life Guards having dismoutted, advanced under
the cover of a double line of 0110uated cavalry tr
force the barricade which bed been thrown up
across the road, end were furistmly attacked hy
them. Orders were then given for the remainder
of the party to charge the mob, which they did,
advancing rapidly upon them, discharging their
carbines and pistols, and flourishing their swords
right and left, striking chiefly with the flat oc
broad sides, but in awl, instances thing the points
end edge. The confusion now wee extreme, the
mob struggling and flying in all directions, arid
shrieks of women and children, mingling with
the howling, and cries end groans of men, some
in strife, some wounded, malty trodden dolvir,
and trampled on, and most pressed and crowded
nearly to death. The cavalcade, followed by the
hearse and some of the mourning coached, having'
succeeded iu passing through Cumberland-gate,'
was proceeding down Oxford-street, when
