to be hciught forward, it woald be desirable to base it full

email not be hoped fat e lien a dissolite was expected so
*min. Therefore had the Ministers advised the Message. Ns
to the budilebil to be done, lie d,d not understand that any
noire grants wnu'd be required for the ;white set vice. The
Mutiny Act was to be continued till Hite V.), NS the dissolu•
lion might take place
liniment might he it!-ettibled by the 'Alt or '2sth of Apt il. It
might not he teady to proceed salt pllhlic business so curly,
but it could he assembled by that time. He concluded
with moving an address, which was a repetition of the
Message.
Mr. TI ERN KT observed that he believed this ill he the
We instant e since the Revolution, where the 'loyal Ale,sage,
after the Accession to the Throne, omitted to open the views
of the king, especially regarding the hereditary revenues of
the Crown. It was impossible to believe that there was
not something at the bottom of all this which none could
understand. Why was notion; said about the civil Ist ?
Was there not some reason which it was not deemed prudent
to avow As the civil list was sett led in 1616, why was not
a 11.11 brought in about the civil I,st ? Terre was a plenty
pf lime, because the list had been so recently settled ; and
why it was Dot thought WI he was quite at a Liao to compre-
qend. Hat now it seemed that May, the latter cod of the
season, contrary to all former notions, nos deemed the
convenient period to C0a411141 heavy busioess. Theta a as,
however, to be no grant of money.
ANCELLOR of the ISXCIIEQUER,saiii lie pro-
posed to apply for grants to meet the civil list expeuditure
to April 5.
Mr. rtLRNEY continued, By that period, the new
Parliament Mould not be assembled ; and therefore from
April 5, there ninthd br an grains to maintain the dignity
tif the Crown. Why was this unprecedented cruise to be
pursued, except it was apprehended that the civil list
cession would call forth something which tin nun autici-
;laird, and which the inimstels did trot choose to meet with
this Parliament. He should protest against the course as
most unprecedented, and why the busimssasually expected
was now to he evaded he timid not imagine.
Lord CAS I' li ERE Mill replied. The Jtight lion. Gen-
tleman bad in great part answered biotin:R.o' it carte true that
the (ISt! List was settled so recently. As to the hereditary
revenues of the Crown. he felt persuaded that Parliament
would not Mose those lib, al ewances to the Crown
which had never been refused. Hut did it follow, became
the civil list was settled in 1814, that stick arrangement
would suit the present period I If it were to twielergo dis-
CilVsifill, would that time be the best for it whew apposaching
elections might divide the attention of Huth Members. It
was the principle of those opposite that the grants to the
Crown should be so liberal us to secure the Parliament from
debt ; and on such footing' it was desirable to place the
civil list.
The CHANCELLOR of' the EXCIIFQUER explained
the Acts regarding the Civil List, aud added, that no part
was strictly applicable to the service of the Civil List but
the hereditary Revenue of the Crown. That amounted to
or 6011,0001. and no more, and that was by no means suffi-
cient to meet the expenditure of the Civil List. If debt
were to be avoided, the List mast be placed nit a different
footing; and therefore an extended examination and deli-
berate consideration were necessary. Instead of new
grants being required, he had pleasure in stating, that by
fresh arrangements t onvellerable strirtrip might he, and he
auticipated would be erected. On Monday next, the
earliest day, he should propose Grants for Ilse service of
the Civil List, tiN April S. Besides a Bill to continue
the Mutiny Act, there would be Bills to continue those
Acts.whieh would otherwise expire before the new Parlia-
ment could be assembled.
Mr. HUM E said, that by the 54th of die late King,
there Was was an Mlow once " to the Princess of Willis,
stow our Queen t'' sad be wished to learn whether suck
Act was to lie continued ?
Lord CAS TLEREAGH replied, that pains would be
taken that no Menus enience should be felt iu the quarter
to a hick 111111114011 had been made.
Mr. BROUGHAM observed, that the House was
placed in a most extraordinary situation by the precise
<and specific Message from the king. He meant to make
tio allusion to what bad been inesitioned by 141111011. Mt m-
iter
_(Mr. Home) who just spoke. Tim Message made
the Haase party to the propriety of dissolving Parliamerit,
a subject that ought to be kept to the Crown peculiarly
and this course was host inamostinitional. Alter, how-
ever, having been told that the country was in a t
alarming state, that plots were hatching under their feet,
and that it was necessary to bridle the people a tilt severe
laws, it was gratifying to thud, that now there was no
cause fur alarm, sauce, by the dissolution of .Parliament,
one of the recent severe laws expired (the Seditious
fleeting** Act, we believe). But it was easily to be un-
derstood why a new Parliament am; to be prel'ereed to
a death-bed Patetismo'', to adjust theCivil.List.
Mr. CANNING declared, that the Ministers had no
designs other than those which had •been avowed; and
that if the contrary cute found, die Hon. mid 'Learned
Gentleman would not fail to remind them of it. As to
the interference of Vailiamesit, so apprehended, it
seemed to be forgotten that the Home fold heretofore
even prayed -the flamed* to dissitiveil'arliament. Never
had a Royal demise taken place, tinder cii emn •
stances, theretare fiterr•was .no pencedeut ' • but as the
Mon. and•Learnedtlentlessan lied been the first to enter
Ake field, to ,amino his adversaries to combat, it was ra-
ther hard for itituto•complain of precipitate,' of dissolu-
tion--(A laugh).
Mr. BROUGHAM 'replied, In explanation, that
-order to hiring in the story of the advertisement, miste-
preseniatien laud been resorted to. So far Irina tom
Oniony of precipitancy, be bad rejoiced that dissolution
was to approach so suon.--(l4ear.) lint lie had cum.
plained that the Ileum was called uu to approve of the
Crown's reiolution to dissolve the Parliament.
Mr. hIACDONALD having adverted to the Nord pro-
ceeding of calling on the House to discuss the propriety
of the dissolution, declared that the canse of such disso-
lotion was the disinclination of Ministers to meet parti-
cular questions with the present Parliament.
. The sootier's aas put and agreed to.
CORRUPT BOROUGHS.
Lord J. RUSsiELL moved lei leave to bring in a Hill
to prevent the issuing of any 11 fits for Grampolitid, Pen-
. rye, Canieltord, and Barnstaple.

nl 1413 LAT y: ROYAL niciumuct
THE DUKE OF KENT ANI) STRATIIER%,
At the Royal Chapel of St. George, at IV indgor, on Saturday
Evening, the 12ili of February, I .r2O.

The procession arrived at Cumberland (amigo, on
Friday evening, about half-past six o'clock. '1 he
body was then removed from the hear e, and de-
deposited in the drawing-room, wl.ich Lid been
prepared for the solemnity of lying in qate.
The coach, containing the urn, moved on towards
St. George's Chapel, escorted by a detaankla of
the Royal llorse Guards bearing torches. It ar-
rived at the chapel about ten o'clock. The um,
which was of a square form, covered with crimson
velvet, was then carried to the royal vault by four
Yeoman of the Guards. The Dean of Windsor,
the Provost of Etun, the Rev. C. Digby, and Mr.
Mash, assisted at this solemnity.
At twelve o'clock on Saturday morning, the pub-
lic were admitted at Cumberland Lodge to sec the
remains of his late Royal Highness lying in state.
They enterod at the Great Hall, from which they
proceeded to the Drawing-room, a spacious apart-
ment, hung with black draperies, and lighted with
wax tapers, fixed in saver sconces on the walls.—
Under a canopy covered with escutcheons was
placed the body. Over the coffin, which was co•
vered with crimson velvet, was a all, adorned witn
escutcheons, On each side the body were burning
four large wax lights, in massive silver candlesticks.
At the head of the coffin sat two gentlemen of his
late Royal Highness's household, The effect of
the whole scene was most impressive,
At seven o'clock on Saturday evening, the hells of
George's Chapel and the Parish Church began to
toll. At half-past seven, a detachment of the Royal
Horse Guards lined the streets from the gate of the
castle to the entrance of the Long Walk, in open
order; every fourth man bearing a torch.
At half.past seven o'clock the procession set out
from Cumberland Lodge. It consisted of the hearse,
two mourning coaches, and five carriages of the
Royal Family, accompanied by mutes on horse-
' back, and a detachment of the Royal Horse
Guards, bearing torches. As the glare of light
illuminated the leaf-less trees on the neartx ap-
proach of the procession, the outline of this meg-
magnificent avenue became distinct ; and when the
slow tread of the horses came upon the ear, amidst
the surrounding stillness, the effect was in the
highest degree impressive. On reaching the ter-
initiation of' the Long Walk, in Park Street, that.
part of the procession which was to be on foot joined
the carria;.,vs; and the whole moved through the
streets to St. George's Chapel.
At the south entrance of St. George's Chapel, the
Dean and Canons, attended by the Choir, received
the body, and part of the procession having been
previously formed, the whole moved on.
About seven o'clock a detachment of the Battalion
of Guards, stationed at Windsor, marched into the
the Chapel. Then thrum] a single line on each side
the nave, every fourth man bearing a flambeau.
About 200 persons had been admitted,'' as spectators,
into the north aisle, by tickets, issued by the Lord
Chamberlain, the Earl -Marshal, and the Dean and
Canons of Windsor.

At the entrance in the Chapel the Dean of Wind-
sor commenced the reading of the sublime Funeral
Service, " I am the Resurrection and the Life." It
is a point of propriety, that, during the period of a
Monareh lying unentonthed, the Organ service
shall not be performed in any Cathedral, or Colle-
giate Chapel. The mournful and unprecedented
circumstance, that on this occasion the funeral rites
which demanded this observance were those of a
Son of the Sovereign, thus removed at the same time
on a happier state, rendered the simple and affecting
office of the dead peculiarly solemn. The body was
conveyed into the choir by the same machinery as
that adopted at the Funeral of her late Majesty.
The Dean then read the Servire tirom under the
Sovereign's Stall. At the proper moment, the plat-
form placed over the entrance of the Royal Vault
gradually descended without any perceptible aid ;
the chief mourner mite on a chair at the head of the
corpse; his supporters on either side ; the supporters
of the pall sate in their places near the body, and
the bearers of the canopy on either side.
From the great sine of the coffin, there was sonic
difficulty in lowering it into the vault, the opening
being scarcely large enough fine its admission.
At the conclusion of the Office of Burial, the ve-
nerable Sir Isaac Heard proclaimed the style of his
late Royal Highness, in u most distinct and impres-
sive manner.
Throughout the awful ceremony, all eves were
turned upon their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of
York, Clarence, Suscex, and Prince Leopold, whose
feelings it is almost impossible to describe. Ills !toy-

al Highness the Duke of Sussex, so long the inti-
mate companion and resident under the sante roof
at Kensington-palace with his lamented brother, ia
vain rallied his firmness to support him under this
trying affliction. Th'ir congenial frelings, the ro.
ciproeity of their active and benevolent pursuits,
rushed upon his mind ; the sulltu rupture
of their earthly connexion, under circumstances
peculiarly calculated to awaken the most poignant
grief, called forth all those sensations which only
the good can feel, and His Royal Highness gat•
vent to his fixlings in unrestrained and overwhelm.
ing anguish. The griel'of Prince Leopold teas ma-
nifested in a calmer but not less expressive manner.
[Es Royal lightness appeared sunk in abstract con-
templation. Ile now mourned fur the husband of
his sister—when last in this chapel he wept over Cie
bier of his wife, the beloved and lamented daughter
of England. The Dukes of York and Clarence
seemtd also to feel the bitter separation to which
they were doomed front the object of their fraternal
affection.

Tie !loyal mourners and their attendants imme-
diately withdrew from the chapel, and were followed
by the number of persons ad►uitted W wituess the
cuentony.
