iiiNEHAI. OF THE
t;ETt iMNQUIS OF LomoosbEkiiY.

+jeste►dsy marling being appointed for the in-
ieeMent of the late Marquis of Londonderry, as
early as seven o'clock persons were assembled in
St. )insees.oquere, opposite his Lordship 'a house ;
tint as the general Morelli seemed to be that the
funeral procession would not start from thence till
tea o'clock, the crowd wee not so great as might
hive been expected, though vast 'manliers came at
a later hour. The body arrived at St. James's-
square front North Cray about half an hour after
one o'clock last morning. The coffin, which had
ruviously arrived, was covered with crimson velvet,
;1:1,1 on it a brass plate, contaiinsig his Lordshilt'.
sgt, titles, and the date of his death. The body,
alien taken from the shell in which it arrived, was
plaed in the coffin and lay in state. It was put upon
four trevsels in • chandler hung with black r, Ivet
with three wax tapers burning on each side. Soon
after 7 o'clock the preparations for 'timing the body
in the hearse commenced, and at twenty minutes
brfore el'ght o'clock the hearse arrived at the door.
The carriages of the Foreign Ministers, sod the
Noblemen and Gentlemen who were to follow iu time
mourning train, were stationed in Jennyn-strert.
The coffin containing the body was then placed in
the hearse, the sides of which were covered with
e,cutcheons, ■ad the procession moved on its the
taliowitig °Met* the most recoiled silence behig
Observed by the crowding spectaturs:—.

First came a large party of constables on foot to cleat the
way: neat full...cal the High Constable of Westuniuster, on
horseback, iu a scarf and hat-baud. After tame sweaty
spoiiated atteadarts un the foment. Three asoorning car.
elates followed, each drawn by six hones, in which were the
pall.biarers, oansisting of the following Cabinet Mi-
nisters a—The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellingtom
the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Westmorland, the
End of Harrnwby, Lord Mar)borotigh, the Hon. C. W.
Wyo., the Hon. F. • Rubinson, and flit Chant. nor of the
Exchequer. An attendee' on horseback hose a *Outdid
plume of black feathers. Next followed the Coronet of the
late Marquis, borne by a man un horseback, II inked by Iwo
snowiest. also on horseback. The Hearse (draws by six bones)
deviated wish the escutcheons of the deceased. Next fel.
lowed ten mourning coaches; in the first of which, desists by
six louses, was the chief mourner; Viscous.. Castlereagh (lase
the Hun. Frederick Stewas I), supported by the Msequis °I
Caindro, and the Hon. Henry Sttwast. Mr. Planta, the
gentlenian of the Foreign Office and wune of the principal
person: of the late Marsusi.'e domestic establishment were
is the nine misuroing coaches which followed. Fifty.
three carriages of the Foreign Mushier., and Noblemen
and Gentlemen followed, amours which we observed those
of the French, Austrian, Danish, and Swedish Ministers;
the Lord Mayor, ke. The procession moved at fifteen
initiates to nine o'clock down the west side of St. James's-
square, along George.street, and into Pall-stall, opposite
the Awe of Ordnance; along Pall-mall by Carlton Palace,
*ad Ituough Corkerporhireet to Clearing•cross. There were
by this time • great number of persons shambled in the
wrote, and the windows of lie adjoining houses were
crowded with spectators, bat hitherto out a sound was beard
iscoasiment with the sedans sod solemnity of the occasiou.

The cavalcade moved slowly along, and without
reperienei,og any interruption till it readied the
great western door of the 'Abbey, where every
thing was in readiness for the performance of the
last sisournfisJ rites. 'Else assemblage of persons in the
immediate vicinity of the Abbey was so dente, that
the spire unoccupied was merely sufficient to
ullow the procession to move forward. Whilst the
coffin was being removed from the hearse into
the Mabry a twitaiderable number of persons Le-
longing N the lower cla►ses indulged in the expres-
sion of feelings by no no means consonant with the
melancholy scene of which they were spectators.
This, we believe, was the only instance of the kind
which occurred is the course of the morning.
