gained admittance with great difficulty.
Thu number of persons admitted as visitors into St.
Ceoege's Chepel, on this occasion, and not forming part
of the preparation itself, was very small, being limited
to fifty.fleer, who were allowed, by means of tickets,*
to pass by the eastern dour of the chapel, adjoining to
the deanery, and to tnke their station in the orgese
loft, from whence a tolerable view both of the entrance
of the procession and the solemn concluding ceremony
could be obtained.
At eight o'clock the notes of the organ were heard,
and the the choir etvered, each singer beering a lighted
teper in his letnil, and sieging the well-known anthem
Irma Croft's burial service. The strength and com-
pleteness of this choral band, at kart treble the usual
number allotted to the cathedral service, and the select
members of the principal choirs in and near the me-
tropolis, • breaking in upon the silence which before
prevailed, produ ed an of truly solemn and impres-
sive. The procession then entered by the south doer
of the chapel, nearly in the same order as given.in the
eetetnunial previously arranged fur the obsequies of her
Majesty.
The Royal body haling been carried to the steps of
the altar, was placed on the platthrm prepared to re-
ceive it ; the pall was eemoved, and the crown and
cushion was placed on the coffin. The Prince Regent,
as chief mourner, being seated in a chair at the head
of the corpe, surrounded by his supporters and train-
bearsrs, standing, the funeral service commenced in the
usual mananer, as performed at cathedrals, and at the
demise of great rd illustrious persone. The first Psalm
having been chanted by the choir, in the seine finished
manner, as the anthem with which the ceremony com-
menced; the service was read by the Dean of Windsor,
ir. that unefiletted and impressive manner which is re-
qeired by this sublime portion of our rubric. At the
end of the first part, the celebreted anthem by Kent,
" Hear my Prayer," was introduced, and executed in
a ,:ery finished manner. The body of her Majesty was
fiten let down into the vault prepared for it, and the
se:sinnity was closed in the manner usual on these oc-
caions, by the venerable Sir %Isaac Heard, who pro-
n elected in a distinct voice, and standing near the grave,
t'e: style and tides of her late Majesty. As the mourners
and attendants en this striking ceremony beeen slowly
to separate and to quit the chapel, the notes of the organ
asin filled the edifice, and produced at once the richest
and most soothing effect. The numerous company
st:eardted without the least disorder or inconvenience ;
end in a few minutes after the obsequies of her late
Majesty had closed, no vestige remained of the solemn
pageantry which had just passed before the eyes of the
44xetutorA.
The whole, ceremony was conducted in a menner that
reflects great credit on all concerned in its manage-
tient ; no confusion or difficulty arose in its progress;
Aer did the different persons who formed the proceeion
appear at all embarrassed, or at a loss to distever the
situations in which they were to be placed.
At the Chapel Royal, St. Junes's, there was no ser.
vice; but at Whitehall Chapel, and most of the
Churches in Westminster, appropriate Sermons were
preached. In very sew Churches in the City was more
than the usual service of the day pinilirmed. In Christ
Church, Netvgateitreet, however, the Vicar, the
Rev. Mr. Crowther, delivered a most impressive and
eeitable disceuree. The Jews paid every respect (as
fiey do on every public occasion) to the solemnity of
the day. lathe Synegogue in Duke's Place, a form of
rite*, preparddiur the occasion, was read ; the place
was hung with superfine black cloth, kti.d orders were
isened that no person should be admitted without some
emblem of mourning. In all the -other Synagogues,
solemn service was likewise performed.
The great bell of the Cathedral of St. Paul's was
te:led at noon andiu the evening.
