DUBLIN, ♦UGUIT
FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR if AUCHMUTY,
COMAIXII OFR or INC 1011C14 IN IRCLAXII.

Yesterday the rernains of this mach lamented and distin-
g risked General were :ensured (sub all the honours due 1,.
his high rauk), from the Royal Hospital to the Cathedral of
Chrmis Church, for tutrinseut.

About half-past eleven o'clock the solemn pageant attended
by the great Officers of State, all the authorities civil sod mi-
litary, end a number of carriages of the N.rbility and Gent. y,
moved slowly ■lung the Military road, and the Quay.,
through Parlotineot.street, Cuth-hill, and Castle-stitet, the
military lining the whole of the way, miuute guns firing
during the processitro, and the several bands playing the
Dial March in San/ At one o'clock the funeral cortege
having arrived at the church it entered amidst a salute
Goo the military; the body borne by • detachment
of grenadiers. The wei. mu lulling of the hells, the deep
tailrace, land the awful soweds wf thunder, which at
that moment were heard in terrific clip., ail conspired to
make the ceremony truly insposiug. Had the iuterier of the
bin edifice been hung in black, as is usual upon such
occasions, the effect would have been much increased. This
was nut the else, however, and we also remelted that the
perdue who carried • velvet cushion with the uotignia of the
Orders of Ile deceased, wore nu thstingut•hiug saddens of
mourniug. As sumo as the body (i•clusetl in lead. oak, and
a rich maheg•ey cuffiu, splendidly ornamented with a Cu.
',Hug of erim•un velvet adinsod with muuntior) was
placed on a platform or she middle of the church, the organ
cumwseeeed • solemn dirge, after which the funeral service
was rcsid.ky the Bishop of Kildare Ow seemnit boring been
preached last Sunday at 'Hie Chapel of the Betel Hospital,
where the body lay to state during the week). At the run.
elusion of this inert-wee teremosiy, the body was rem-wed
to the royal vault with the same ceremonies as un its en•
trance.

Tim procession wa■ attended throughout by a great con-
course of spectators. When it had reach] E•trx Bridge,
the rain fell in torrents, and continued until after the
body was placed in the vault. The member of persons
in the church ituatiached to the aluminium was very few,
owing to the dilEentoy of obtaining admittance without
tickets. The mournful spectacle appeared to have created
a twelaucholy isterrst is all who witsenard it.

to captain the memo which induced hint to call unit meet-

as arrogaist and pessumploons, while on the other he had
brew accused of • deliberate, eremite, lord ill•tinted iateutirisi

affected by either of those imputation.. When he reflected on
the magssitude of the county of York, arid of the great influence
which it bad always bad in the affmr• of the kingdom, he felt
