The head of the procession reached the cemetery at a
quarter before twelve o'clock, and at that moment the
view from the gateway down Duke-street was most strik-
ing, In the centre of the street, but not occupying its
entire width, a long dark column of men, plumes, horses,
and carriages, was seen advancing slowly through an
immense crowd ranged in the most perfect order, and
observing the deepest silence on each side of it. The
turret of St. James's church, the wall skirting its yard,
the windows and roofs of all the houses, were almost
groaning under the weight of the spectators seated upon
them. As the hearse advanced, all this vast crowd un-
covered, and the dark appearance of the moving proces.
sion, and the mottled appearance of the bare-headed and
immoveable multitude, which was gazing intently upon
it, formed a very marked contrast to each other. A
small piece of cannon, which had been previously ea,
tioned on St. James's Mount, was fired as a signal to the
town as soon as the procession began to enter the cemetery.
The mutes on horseback took their position one at each
side of the entrance. The gentlemen of the town, instead
of proceeding into the chapel, filed off to the right,
breaking their lines of six into lines of three deep, and
descended without delay into the cemetery. Part of their
path ran through an arched passage or tunnel cut through
the solid rock ; and to a person standing on the neighboxr-
ing heights there was something very romantic and pic-
turesque in the manner in which they alternately appeared
and disappeared from view. They then proceeded to
range themselves on the serpentine walks which skirt the
centre grass-plot, where the vault was dug for Mr. Hue-
kisson's remains. At a distance they appeared to have
grouped themselves in the shape of a diamond, a vacant
«pace being left at the angle nearest the spectator for the
bearers of the coffin to carry it to the grave. Whilst this
arrangement was taking place in the cemetery, the Com-
miuee and the clergy were employed in forming along the
road between the entrance of the cemetery and the door of
the chapel. The different pall-bearers then ranged them-
selves in order to receive the coffin and to take the pall,
and as soon as they had done this, and the mourners had
taken their place in the rear, the Rev. J. Brookes, who
had previously met the coffin, began to read the funeral
serv►ce, awl to move into the chapel. As the pall-bearers
and mourners passed them, the clergy and Committee filed
into the procession, and thus the funeral party entered the
chapel. Immediately afterwards the gates of the cemetery
were closed, and the gentlemen who had followed the
hearse filed off to the gate at the top of Hope-street,
where accommodation had been previously prepared for
them.

The chapel was arranged with the most simple and
beautiful elegance for this melancholy occasion. There is
on each side of it a single row of pews. These were bung
with black cloth, both on the inside and on the out. So,
too, was the reading-desk. It was likewise ornamented
with Mr. Huskisson's escutcheon, splendidly emblazoned.
The coffin having been placed on trestles under the read-
ing-desk, the mourners took-. their seats in the different
pews previously assigned to them The funeral service
then proceeded. When the clergyman came to that few-
tion of it which is usually read by the side of the grave,
the parties left the chapel in nearly the same order in which
they entered it. On quitting the chapel, which is only
visible from a small part of the cemetery, you face the dell
in which it is situate, and look down ripen it front a pre-
cipitous and isolated projection of rocks several yards high.
The cortege, having ranged itself on the brink of this rock,
became an object of intense interest to such spectators as
could command a view of it. After the pauae of a few
moments, it was again put in motion, and winded slowly
down the serpentine tunnel through which the gentlemen
of the town had previously wound in solemn march their
long array. At the same moment the gentlemen who had
followed the hearse obtained admission into the north side
of the cemetery, and thus all its four sides were crowned
with a living mass of anxious spectators.
As the body was proceeding from the chapel to the
grave, the weather, which had been moat unfavourable
during the whole of the morning, suddenly changed, and a
bright gleam of sunshine flung its radiance over the
moving train. In a few minutes it reached the vault.--
As the bearers left the walks and entered upon the turf of
the grass-plots, the gentlemen extended thick line and
filled up the space in the walks which they had previously
left vacant. At that moment the head of every mart in
the irn:nense assemblage collected in and about the come.
tery was uncovered, as if by general consent. There was
a moral sublimity in the spectacle, which all who were
present felt, but which I am afraid is not communicable to
those who were absent. I have seen more than one public
funeral, and I know something of the gorgeous pageantry
so lavishly disp,ayed in the burials of our Monarchs ; but
though I saw the ashes of Grattan and Canning deposited
in one of the most august of Christian temples amid the
vain regrets of men the most distinguished for rank, talent,
and genius, and though the interment of Royalty takes
hold upon the imagination from its necessary connection
with the most sumptuous display of human pomp and great-
ness, I never witnessed any spectacle so impressive as the
appearance of this vast multitude, standing erect under the
open canopy of Heaven, and joining in one spontaneous
tribute of respect to the memory of their late representa-
tive. All eyes were then turned upon the vault, and Mr.
Brookes proceeded to the conclusion of the service for the
dead amid the dev attention of his hearers, and the un-
controllable emotion of some of the mourners. lam in-
formed that General Iluskisson was deeply affected during
the funeral ceremony, anti was not always able to refrain
from tears. At a quarter past one o'clock the melancholy
ceremony was brought to a close, anti another signal gun
was fired to cemmuuicate the tidings to the people in the
town. The mourners then returned to their carriages, but
the gentlemen who had walked in the procession did not
accompany them, but left the cemetery in detached groups
as business or inclination prompted. The vault was then
hoarded over; and as the spectators were not allowed to
have access to it, the cemetery was soon emptied of the
visitors which it had contained. In the course of the af-
ternoon the railings, which had been placed in the streets
leading from the Town hall to the cemetery, were taken
down, the flags on the public buildings were hoisted as
usual, and the external appearance of public calamity were
universally removed.

I have not heard of the occurrence of a single accident
during the day. This ia the beet of all practical proofs of
the excellence of the regulations adopted by the COltituittet
of management. It is said that 00,000 persons beheld
the funeral in one place or another, but I am inclined to
think that this calculation is exaggerated. The subscrip-
tion for the monument advances' rapidly. It is now neatly
2,000/.

SATURDAY 3101041NQ.
The committee of management have just p►rblished an
advertisement, declaring that they cannot give up the
functions delegated to them by their brother townsmen
without expressing their warmest satisfaction at the gene.
rid sympathy expressed, and the decent and orderly con-
duct observed, by all classes durfog the melancholy cere-
monial of yesterday. The inhabitants of Liverpool have
certainly deserved this tribute of applause.

We have heard that his MAJESTY has pre-
un Mince !Aurora) to relinquish 10,000/, a year of
his present income. We trust this may really wove to be
the Case, for if eeonomy is to he enforced by cutting down
the balariex of public individuals, that of his Royal High-
ness should be among the very firm to be curtailed, for
more MOODS than one,— Winator Express.
