Mr. JOHN CA LYRIST begged permission to add.
that Sir George Nagler wit. in the boat with the of-

Colonel GOSSETT took en himself the chief blame

IwireCh wes shallow, anti the crane iii front of the
jetty offerer) the greatest convenience for embark-
ing the coffin. The 'text point for consideration
was, as to the pennies who were to do it. It would
have hem li•signed to officere, but that they were
supposed to be lees capable than the men who
generally worked the crane. Capt. IVhite offered
accommodation in the boars to all the attendants,
sold es there was abundance of room in the bo.t
where the coffin was lanced, it WWI surprising that
none of them had not g 4 into it. Hr had gone
forward to meet the funeral on the entrance into
Harwich, and expressed his hopes to Sir George
Nayler that no time would he lost, as the tide
would 11041111 ebb. Sir George Nagler thought it
nriedvisable to force on the procession in such a
state of fatigue ; but there was on preventing it.
At first it had been determined that the coffin should
remain on shore all night; the church was so
much out of repair as to be unfit to receive it.—
I The room at the Town 11.11 was then selected.
but abandoned on uccount of some difficulties of
approach. At last hie dining-room was chosen.
and he gave his honour that the windows were
taken out with a vie* to receiving the coffin. It
'wee afterwards made known that the commands of
'government to embark the corpse instantly on er-
nes, had been forwarded.
Mr. Htsillitiffinitted.that int'conduct could have
beers better than that of Criptein White and the
seemere'under him. Ile admitted tbe excellence of
the arrengemesits-on the jetty—the gooduess of the
tackle and machinery, and the conduct of these
who were employed to lower the coffin into the
`boot; the crime and cushion weft lowered down
after. Lord Hood, out his arrival. inquired what
accommodathAt of boots there was for himself and
the attendants. Captain White replied, that he
bad Ito instructions—but that he would take on
himself to uffurd all possible convenience to the at.

of the arrangements, that several geirtlrmerr of her
Majesty's household were *bout to retorts. As to
the Hounurable Gentleman who spoke last, he
was reedy to admit thAt had the Honourable
Member joined the procession sooner, much of the
indecent disorder end confusion might have been
'seed. He was surprised, however, that measurer
were not taken to secure proper acoeuseiodation at
doe port. He was trot aware of any eilutplarnt made
of the occoMmodarione on board the ship. At
Brunswick the people had sliewn their respect for
her Majesty, elmoat in defiunce of the constituted
authorities. Every mark of respect in their power
to exhibit wassliewn to her !mails,. He expatiated
ion the indecent haste arid went of ceremony (Ibsen,-

he understood the mouser right. it wow memory
to pass a corpse through the most public high road '
for interment, Then, again, the uncerialuty of
the route; why was that ? It had !NI to most di,.
agreeable consequences, which might have been
spared. Had the people of the east cud known
where they could have fallen in with the funeral,
they would not have crowded towards the west,
to the danger of the public peace. He con-
sidered it a mockery of respect to have placed
a large military force in attendance ou the re.
mains' of one who had been refused the lightest
symbol of her proper dignity while living. He
uulatged on the dangers of this course., He
hoped Ministers had coucurred with Sir It. Baker,
who hood saved the metropolis perhaps. by taking
the conduct of the procession out of the hands of
the military, and had 'hewn a proper knowledge of
the dutiesofa Magistrate, conscientiously wishing to
keep the peace unbroken. Nothing but his resolu-
tion and prudence in altering the course of the lone-
rat could save the metropolis from terrible disorder.
That measure had filled every face with sstisfaction.
The couptry 'urea whet reward lie had received
from Ministers, whom he had offended by 'hewing
his superiority in temper and discretion. He rapers
bated on that which he considered the most dins
graceful scene of all—the military called to aid the
civil power, breaking the peace which they were
hound to preserve. The troops had acted
their own impulse. He complained not mere'
of the officers, but as well of the men. In t ,
few yesrs he had been in the field, he had of•
ways understood that men placed in array ewe
der officers were bound not to act without ore
den from their officers. Here they attacked the'
people with swords and carbines of their own,
will. They were not a diseiplined corps—they
were a riotous rabble on horseback. breaking the
peace with deadly instruments. They had been
found guilty of murder and manslaughter. He
admitted that the soldiers might have been placed
in a disagreeable situation—(Loud cheers)—but
in how many disagreeable situations might they
not be placed, and be prevented, if necessary,
from acting. even though shot at or abused ever
so much ? This was their condition, which the
rules of discipline required them to sustain. ,
