WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The town was this morning besieged with visiters from
all parts of the country. Park-street presented one dense
masse, of

cn,
carts,i
sostagen coaches,
appeared
(to have been put in requisition to con-
ypassengers
to the lying in state. The road from Lon-
don was crowded along the whole line, the inns at Wind-
sor were filled to excess, and no charge was deemed too
extravagant for the smallest portion of accommodation.
Before ten o'clock this morning an immense crowd I,a I
collected at all the barriers in the lower ward of the Castle,
through which the public were to be admitted to the lying
in state, but the permission to pass was Cow, and hum
sired, remained excluded at the closing of the doors at four
o'clock; the entrance was along the terrace, and up a tem-
pry staircase. The admission for those who had private
tickets was up the grand staircase; here was no crowd indeed, the visiters thus specially privileged were few
throughout the day.
The body was removed from his late Majesty's private apartment by ten of Mr. Banting's men at eleven o'clock
last night, and placed under the canopy in the state room, ;but the fittings were not entirely finished before nine o'clock this morning.

The public first entered the King's gy ird chamber, an!!
palmed through the presence chamber into the state apart_
ment ; these chambers were entirely hung with b'ack clot!,
and illuminated by small silver lamps, the grand stairca..e
having glass bell lamps, and wax taper*.
The state apartment was fitted up with a solemn gran-
deur suitable to the occasion. At the centre, and on the
right of the spectators, the canopy was raised: it was covered with purple cloth ; beneath was the coffin, on the funeral
car, which was covered with a rich purple velvet pall, edged',
with silver, the ornaments at the foot of the coffin being only
exposed. On the lid were placed the Imperial C:own
Great Britain, and the Royal Crown of Hanover. At thei
head of the corpse sat a Lord of his late Majesty's Bedchamber,
between two Grooms of the Bedchamber. Loris Howe and
'Strathaven officiated in the forenoon of yesterday as the
. •

former, Sir W. Houston and the Hon. Mr.
the latter. There were other Lords and Grooms

Grooms acted is supporters to the Nobleman WI
head. On each side of the body stood two
Ushers of his late Majesty, with their wands,
the Officers of Arms in their heraldic costume.
likewise stationed at each side six of the band
Pensioners, and eight of the Yeomen of the
Gentlemen Pensioners supported the great banners
• Union, of St. George, of Scotland, Ireland,
Brunswick, and over the coffin was suspended
embroidered royal standard. The royal arms
ficently emblazoned in a lozenge-shaped frame
coffin, and the insigniaof the Star, the Crown,
ter, were multiplied in various parts of the hangh
considerable taste, and a flood of light was poured '
splendid objects, from rows of silver gilt lamps
arranged upon the walls. The light was properly
in all the anti-rooms and avenues, so that its fun
was preserved for the state apartment, and even t,
distribution of it was so managed as merely to ilk
the principal parts, and leave the rest in gloom.
richness of the purple canopy, of the pall, and th-
masses of bright and flaming hues from the golden
of the royal standard, the crowns, and heralds'
imparted a death-like and spectral paleness to the
the household mourners, which had an sine,'
resting effect. They stood perfectly motionless,
statues upon a sepulchre, while the people moved
a very slow pace, the murmur of breathing
heard in any of the avenues of the state
Nothing could exceed the regularity and di
reigned throughout the whole ceremony, al:
the immense multitude who poured into the
the conductors of the funeral arrangements.
There was a long line of carriages in Cast.
in the avenue leading to King George the Fe
and the throng kept pressing forward up to the
meat. Hundreds were unable to obtain 1
the state apartments, although every reasonable
was afforded by the officers of the public

GENERAL ELECTION.

inviting him to become a candidate for the re)
