About one o'clock the first part of the Procession
reached the Abliey, but- a full half hour elapsed
before the-Body entered.. Dr. VINCENT, the Dean,
the Prebends, Minor Canons, and the Gentlemen of
the,Ohcir Were' ready to receive them and on the
entrance of the corpse they'begun to sing Dr. CROFT'S
funeral service, which they continued to do until the
iody.: was placed in .the centre of the Choir,. where.
the regular service was read.

The six COnduetors and forty-seven poor men
divided and ranged theMselves on each side withot
the church door, as did-the rest of the . Procession
within the'church. At the entrance of the abbey
(within the doors) the Deans and Prebendaries, with
the Choir, fell into the Procession immediately after
the. Great Banner, and before the Heralds who bore
tile trophies; the Choir singing till the Body arrived
at the grave in the North Transept ; and those per-
sons who had no.particular stations allotted, to them
near the grave ranged themselves on each side, un--
der the dire&ion of the • Officers of Arms, as the
Procession passed the :Body of the
.Church, and up
the,Ndth Aisle.

The funeral service was- read by the Dean, in a
very impressive manner, which lasted about 23 mi-
nutes, when the Body was lowered into the geave.
The anthem, burial service, &c. were the same as
those which took place at Lord NELSON'S funeral at
St.. Paul's.

During Divine. Service the. Bannerolls were held
over the body ; and at the grave, the Banners and
Trophies-were arranged round the body. As soon as
the Burial Service was ended, Sir I. HEARD, Garter
Principal -King of Arms, advanced near the, grave,
:on the right hand of the Earl of CHATHAM, aief
Monrner, and with a clear and solemn accent, pro-
claitned the style of the dece4sed as follows

'Thus it bath pleased Almighty Gon to take
out of this transitory life unto his Divine Mercy, the,
late Right Hon. WILLIAM PITT, one of His Ma-
jesty' 'Most Htinourables Privy Council, First Lord

'rommissioner ofv-the- Treltit. Ohatlctaor and-
Under `Treasurer, of the E-tcheguer; Admiral
_and ,
Lord ;if the Cinque Poits, and.Governorof
' Dovereastle, one of the RepresentatiVes in Paella,.
meat for the Unr.'ersity of Cambridge.;. and High
Steward -fig that-Cifivet'sify.; alie of the Lords of
Trade and Plantations, a Commissioner for the Af-
fairs of India 5 and the charaaer to whose meniory)
is inscribed—Non -Sibi Sed-: Patrice Virit:"—On.
which the Comptroller, Treasurer; and Steward,'oe‘
the deceaed, breaking their states, gave the pieces
to Garter, who threw them into the grave:
The interment thus ended,-the Standard, Banners,
Bannerolls, and Trophies, were deposited on the
table behind.the Chief Mourner 5- and the Procession,
arranged 'by the Officers of Arms, returned, to the
Painted Chamber in 'the same order. ,

Several Gentlemen of the Chapel Royal assisted
those of the Abbey in singing .the Service.
The venerable 131sHor of LONDON was unable,
from his advanced life, and some degree of in-
disposition, to accompany, the Procession, but was
previously conveyed to the Abbey, that he might
testify his. regard to the deceased, by joining in the
Ceremony. The ARCHBISHOPS of CANTERBURY
and YORK, and the BISHOP of ST: DAVID'S, were
also present. The Earl of CHATHAM dißlayed a
deep-rooted sorrow. • Lord CASTLEREAGH seemed
to be partictilarly affected. Mr. WILBERFORCE shed
tears through the.whole Ceremony. Mr. DENT,
the Member of Parliament, though so infirm ;as to..
requite crutches,. walked in the Procession. All
ranks and degrees indeed joined in a mournful Sym-,
pathy for the loss of a man who was an honour' to
the human race. Never, we believe, did .a simi-
lar event excite so affeCting and deep an interest.
The whole of the funeral ceremony produced an
awful feeling in the mind that will most probably
be remembered through life by every spe6tator, with
the emotions of Melancholy, attended with the feel-
ing 4 calculated to refine the affeetiona. Thus have
passed away the mortal remains of this, matchless
Orator, this genuine Patriot, this wise and good man.
For the happiness and security of the Empire, we'
cannot but hope that, if we have lost the aid of his
Cbuncils; we shall not wholly lose the Benefit of his
example, and'that,all future iS,linistersill endeavour
to imitate his lolty.exaniple. of di444l.qtedness, his
inflexible spirit of honour,, his persevering zeal in the
discharge of his public duties, and his'rerVehi affec-
tion for his country, which .only terr,4a ted with
his latest breath, . .
