Almost immediately before the coffin. a most imen,ing

by
different noblemen. The Union limner was carried by Lord
Grenville. I•tt. George's Banner by Lord Iloward of Effingham.
thegrantl Royal Banner by Lord Hill. the Banner of St-inland
by Lord Clinton, the banner of Ireland by (we believe) Lord
litadfOrt. and the Banners of I lanover and Brunswick by two
noblemen wlmite persons we could not distinguish. As soon as
the coffin ;Treated round the corner of the tusk, the singers of
'the diffinent choirs. who were followed by the Deem of Windsor,
struck up the solemn service of " I know that my Redeemer
liveth." This beautiful anthem lasted till the corpse was carried
into the chapel and placed on the tressels. Immediately after the

Highness bad the appearance of deep awl unaffieted sorrow.

Duke of 18mm:stet, and Prince Leopold. The tine manly aspect,

by the fullest choir we ever heard, of the principal voices et' the
Chapel Royal. of St. James's and St. George's; Mr. Kay vet
presided a: the organ. and displayed at once the profound, t
scierre and the finest taste; nothing could exceed the tit ecision,
the delicacy. the maj•esty tit his execution. And be was worthily
assisted, Messrs. Vaughan, W. Knyvett, .1, B. Sale, and Mar •
shall, sang with a solemn sweetness that divestol the mind of al/
sublunary thoughts. and tilled it with pious musings. After
Kent's anthem of " Bear my payer," the choir perfurivird
that sublime piece. " I heard a voice learn Heaven." At the
