Troops closed the Procession.

The atmosphere was very clouded and overcast when the
procession began to move, and a few minutes afterwards
there were strong indications of rain. Indeed, as the
Rifles passed Carlton House, a very smart shower came on,
and until the head of the procession got clear of the Park,
it seemed more than probable that the weather of the
morning was to be renewed. No sooner, however, had it
passed Apsley House, than the heavy and ominous clouds
which had previously prevailed rolled off, and the sun
burst forth with m ore than his autumnal splendour.
Nevertheless there was a keen wind blowing, and though
the lower apartments of the houses along the route may
have been inconveniently crowded, the roofs and out-
posts were delightfully cool. The procession moved at
a slow pace along the Birdcage-walk, which was lined
on either side by detachments of the Life Guards. The
Green-park was thronged with spectators, and it was ob-
served that even the windows of Buckingham Palace were
thickly crowded. Apsley House, of course, wore a mourn-
ful aspect, the iron shutters being closed, and the open win-
dows covered with white blinds. The houses also beyond
the late Duke's princely mansion were devoid of spectators,
and the balustrades we re lined with mourning furniture.
No interruption whatever took place to the progress of the
procession ; and, it is gratifying to state, that while the
assembled multitude appeared perfectly alive to the diffi-
cult duties of the police, the force itself exhibited a praise-
worthy disposition to render every facility to enable
the public to witness the mournful pageant. In return
for this assistance, the public fell into the rules and
regulations of the police without murmur or objection,
and the duties of the officers stationed at many of the bar-
riers and crossings were, comparatively speaking, light and
easy. It is needless almost to add, that, as the Car passed
along the route, the people showed their respect for the
venerable deceased by standing uncovered. The bands of
the different regiments played alternately a variety of sacred
music, and it may be declared, without fear of contradic-
tion, that a more solemn or a more imposing spectacle was
never before seen in this or any other metropolis.
When the procession reached Charing-cross, a compact
body of Chelsea pensioners, most of whom wore a couple of
medals on his breast, joined in the procession, and certainly
they formed an interesting portion of the ceremonial, being
ever and anon much cheered by the populace. The veterans
who had served under the late Duke also attracted great
attention, and it was observed throughout the entire route
that nothing could have surpassed the bearing and beha-
viour of the numerous troops who made up the bulk of the
pageant.
Arrived at Temple-bar, the procession was received by
the Lord Mayor of London, attended by the Recorder

and a 'deputation from the Aldermen, by the Sheriffs, and
by a deputation from the Common Council ; and he,
bearing the city sword, having taken up his position
behind the carriage of Prince Albert and that of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, the carriages containing the
deputation from the Common Council fell into the pro-
cession immediately behind the delegation from Oxford,
while the six carriages of the Sheriffs and Aldermen took
up a position before the carriage of the High Sheriff of the
Countylof Southampton, and that containing the Compa-
nions of the Bath, in the places indicated in the preceding
part of this ceremonial. Six battalions of infantry
formed two deep on each side of the street from Temple-
bar to Ludgate-hill, while a similar number of the flank
companies of the Grenadier Guards were stationed in St.
Paul's Churchyard to receive the body with arms presented
and reversed. When the body arrived within the railings
of St. Paul's Cathedral, the marshalmen and conductors

arranged themselves on each side at the foot of the steps,
and superintended the removal of the coffin into the inte-
rior of the Cathedral. The troops that moved in proces-
sion, and also those on duty to assist the civil authorities,
were commanded by Major-General His Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge, K.G.
So far then for the success of the procession, which maybe
said to have extended from Hyde-park corner to Temple-bar.
We heard of no interruption to the movement of the troops.
On arriving close to the triumphal arch, the Car was de-
tained for about ten minutes. This, however, was only
for the better arrangement of the procession, and
not, as was supposed at the time, to take up the
members of the Duke's family.
The only casualty that occurred was that of a young man
who, it was reported, had fallen from Drumond's bank,
Charing-cross. The case was taken to Charing-cross Hos
pital, and at once attended to on its arrival by the house•
surgeon, Mr. J. Tucker, who discovered that he had sus.
tained a severe fracture of the skull. Remedies were at
once applied, but without avail, for the poor fellow con.
tinned to !sink, and died within half an hour of his
admission.

Another accident, which alarmed a great many people,
but fortunately did no mischief excepting a few bruises
from the rushing of the mob, took, place at Mr. Spooner's,
the corner of Southampton-street, when, owing to
some of the inmates holding on the rope of the
blind, the latter gave way with a dreadful crash.
A few minutes before the procession reached Charing.
cross, a curious incident took place. A Post-office van
was standing at the corner of Trafalgar-square, near
Morley's Hotel, waiting to convey letters to St. Martin's
le Grand, when a number of men jumped on the
top of it, and nearly upset it, and had not 1, num-
ber of the P division of police, under the direction
of Mr. Inspector Shaw, rendered assistance, there must
have been a great sacrifice of life. Fortunately, the van
was righted, but her Majesty's servants could not by any
possibility get out until after the procession passed.
In conclusion, it may be mentioned that the car will be
deposited in Marlborough-house, under the direction of the
Academy of Arts and Sciences, of which H.R.H. Prince
Albert is the President, until arrangements are made for
its final depository at Chelsea Hospital.
