THE siTN, LONDON, Tr

FUNERAL OF THE DUKE OF.
WELLINGTON.

We believe that the following programme of pro-
ceedings at the funeral of the Duke of Wellington
will prove to be in the main correct.
Tile remains of his Grace will remain at Wollner
until four days before the funeral, which will take
place between the 17th and 19th of November.
They will then be removed to Chelsea Hospital,
where the body will lie i❑ state for three days, and
on the evening before the solemnity it will be re-
moved to the Horse Guards.

On the morning of the funeral, the funeral cortrlge
will be formed at the Horse Guards, and will pro.
teed by Charing-cross, the Strand, Fleet-street, and
Ludgate-hill, to St. Paul's.

Six regiments of infantry, eight squadrons of
cavalry, and 17 guns, will take part in the proces-
sion, that being the number of troops to which his
Grace was entitled by his rank in the army.
A body of Marines will also form part of the
corlige, which will be headed by 83 veterans from
Chelsea llospital, who shared in the Duke's cam-
paigns, the number 63 representing the years to
which his Grace had attained.
We have also reason to believe that the Field-
Marshal's baton of the deceased Duke will be borne
on the occasion by the Marquis of Anglesey, his
companion in arms; and that representatives from
those foreign Sovereigns in whose armies his Grace
bore the rank of Field Marshal will assist at the
solemnity, each bearing the baton of the deceased.
With a view of diminishing as much as possible
the delay inseparable from a long file of carriages
it is intended to make the procession as much as
possible a walking one, and to dispense, as far as
consistent with the solemnity of the occasion, with
an unnecessary train of vehicles.
It is also hoped that the good sense and good
taste of the City will, on this occasion, consent to
waive its claim to precedence, and that the Lord
Mayor, after meeting the cort4sre at Temple-bar,
will fall into the procession after the Prince Con-
sort.

Finally, it is not intended to line the streets
through which the procession will pass with military
The guardianship of the thoroughfares will be left
to the police, and to the good feeling of the public,
who will thus have an opportunity of beholding the
mournful spectacle without the interruption of a
line of soldiers, and of testifying their respect for
the mighty dead by their decorous and orderly
demeanour.

Messrs. Cubitt, the eminent builders, have received
instructions to fit up the interior of St. Paul's Cathe-
dral for the accommodation of from 18,000 to 20,000
spectators.
