INTERIOR OF THE ABBEY.

Tickets bsd been issued to about riM) persons for admission
to toe burly of the Abbey, at eight u'clock. About that ti.ue
the bearers of the tickets assembled in the-Cloisters, Dean s-
yard ; and about half alter rigid were admitted into the Abbey
through the western Cloister-door. The crowd passed uu to
the mirth end of the transept, where the only preparations fur
the feueral was observed. The platform was elevated about a
foot front the pavement, surratuded by a low rail, which,
together with this platform, was entirely covered with black
cloth. Towards the south end of the platform. and in aunt id
the statue of tue Lad of Mendield, was the grave, lined with
brick, and with two ropes to lower the coffin. In no other part
of the Abbey were there any railings or any other preparations
to keep oil the crowd (nor, on 'emend of the small number
and decency of the persons 'omitted, were they at all neces
sary.) The only persons at this time in the Autrey having the
appearance of 'Alicia characters wire the Alinsusen or the
Abbey Church in their purple gowns and badges, and an ollicer
in scarf and full tantrums, appointed to keep the western gate.
Several cf the ollicers of the Queeu-square Police-ollice were
also iu attendance. Shortly after Weir admissiou, We spec-
titters were also obliged to withdraw from the transept, and We
gam which communicates from the north aisle to that pot tit
the church was then shut, arid kept close till the procession
began to move towards the grave. For Mots than ball an hoer
afterwards the.spectators, with the exception of a few who
bad gained athuissiou to the organ loft, were *trolling 'n groups,
which seemed but finely scattered over the large area of the
nave arid aisles, conversing uu the merits and fate of the man,
the lust scene of whose career they were assembled to witness.
Souls after nine o'clock the facer marshalled the crowd, winch
thrilled two lines even with the pillars which divide the nave
from the aisles ; aunt the number of persons who had heeu
ad-
twilted were just sediment to folio these lines without indecent
enmities or incouvenieuce. Tee gentlemen of the Foreign
Office then entered lion the Jerusalem Chamber, a room on the
sooth side of the Ablvoy, near the western. extremity, and
formed themselves two arid two—two third,' up the nave on the
right hand side as they tittered. The Foreign Monsters ac-
credited at this Court then ranged themselves. They were all
in scarfs and deep mourning, and with the exception if Mr.
Rush, whe was unadorned by any such supposed tu•trk of ho-
nour, they were decorated with shins and insignia of their va.
rious orders. The other persons who were to form the pro
cas.ion were now collected in and about the door of the
J tern Chamber. About half-past 1111 W, the hearse hav-
ing arrived at the western end, the doors were thrown
open, arid Dr. Ireland, the Deus of Westwioster, adrauced

to meet the body. About this time a loud shout, uppa-
rently of exultation anti execration, was heard MU the elver I
without, which visibly ulfeeted many of the train and spectate re,
to whom thin interruption seemed to be unespeeted. Some
persons within seemed to take this as an ill-judged mark of
respect. One of the Peers in the ►rain said to lila neighbour,
•• If this be a cumpliunnt, it is a very ill-judged ova." illy
most of the persons present, however, the character of the shout
could not be mintaken, and mans ante friends of the deceased
were evidently surprised and hurt. The singing boys Rud cho-
risters then tre:l,ati to sing the comment:emelt' et the burial sec

nisters were, however, the persons on whom the eyes of the
beholders were chiefly lined. The Huhu' of NVeltington and
the Lord Chancellor seemed the hunt moved in counttnance,
andwalked firm and eleadily. Th• Call of Liverpool appeared
to be much moved; his eve was full of tears, and his whole
person was more bent than usual. Mr. Robinson and Mr.
Vansittart were also mach affected. Lord Sitlmoutli had the
solemn gravity of countenance which that nobleman %stars upon
every occasion. There was certainly is the procession an ap-
pearance of sorrow not very usual in formal funerals; and it
was cnisinly ditlicolt for the spectators to suppress some emo-
tions of grief when they saw the colleagues of the deceased as
ambled round the hotly of a man who, in the course of nature,
