THE [JULE OP GLOUCESTER.
So early as five o'clock yesterday morning, the
street opposite to Gloucester House was crowded
with nuoitiers of the upper classes of people, in ex-
pedation that the funeral of H,s'ltoyal Highnes,
would proceed for Windsor at that hour. On learn-
ing that the procession would not set out until ten
o'clock, the greatest disappointment was manifest-
ed by every roue. Numbers went away, and return-
ed atter breakfasting ; but the greater part remained
before the house, expecting that the coaches would
arrive every instant. At ten o'clock, the hearse,
with eight horses, and nine motnning•coaches, with
six horses each, drew up along the sure'. The
hearse was trim driven into the court yard, and stood
before the door ; shortly after, the Duke of Glou-
cester's state each, and six }oses, drove into the
court-yard. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince
of Wales, the Doke, of York, Clarence, and
Kent's coaches then arrived, each having six
horses; they drew up at the bottom of the
street, after the mourning-coaches. At about
half after ten, the coffin was placed in the hearse;
a part of the First Regiment of Foot Guards,
who attended, presenting arms, the drums, which
were mused, beating, and fifes playing slow-
ly, the grand salute. The hearse, having re-
ceived the coffin, drew up to the gate, and remain-
ed there until all the mourning-coaches drew up to
the door in succession, and took up the mourners ;
they then passed on, and the hearse followed imme-
diately after His Royal Highness the Duke of
Gloucester's state-coach then drove out of the
court-yard ; His Royal Highness's Secretary sat at
one side in it, and, opposite to him, 3 black velvet
cushion was placed, with the corohet upon it. I is
Royal Highness the Duke of York's carriage came
next in order, and, after it, their Royal Highnesses
the Dukes of Clarence and Kent's carriages fol-
lowed, all empty A party of the gre:t.tdiers match-
ed, wit a their arms reversed, immediately after, and
the remainder of the Guards closed the procession,
which set off about eleven o'clock. l'he proces-
sion was delayed a consid.frable tin e. on account of
one of the horses under the hearse growing restive,
in Grosvem.r-street, and continuing so obstinate,
that they were obliged to take him out of the
harness.

We have not, for a cons;derable time, seen so
great a number of people together; the different
windows, and the tops of the houses. were as full es
they could hold. A similar scene presented itself
all down Park-lane, and. so great a desire had every
one to see the procession, that, after seeing it pass
them at one coiner, several ran round, as quick as
they possibly could, fnr the purpose of getting an-
tither view of it, at the cr•st. angle. A party of
.fight Horte ssrrounded tae hearse.
The Procession moved down Park-lane, and along
Knightsbridge, Hammersmith. &c. the usual road
to Windsor. Up is its ap;..roach to the latter town
