THE LATE KING OF DENMARK.

The Flensburg Gazette of Dec. 1 says---,. The
mournful ceremony of the removal of the body Of
the late King took place yesterday, and was fa-
voured by mild and calm weather. Between five
and six o'clock the funeral cortege, extending nearly
half a mile in length, and accompanied by mani
hundred carriages and a vast crowd of people,
reached this city. The body of the deceased
Monarch, after it had been removed from the six-
horse funeral car, was borne hither fromFruerlund
by the country people. At the head and end
of the procession marched detachments of the Foot
Guards. The corpse was preceded by the officers
of the staff of the General-in-Command and other
officials on horseback. Immediately following the
body came the Minister for the Duchy of Schleswig►
the President of the Court a Appeal, and a nume-
rous body of officials, including the High President
of Flensburg. On the arrival of the procession et
the town the church bells were all tolled and the
principal streets illuminated. The procession was
afterwards met by the whole of the clergy, the
magistracy, and the legal functionaries. Farther
on the cortege was met by the deputations sent
by other towns, the city officials, the foreign
consuls, and all the corporate bodies, with
about . 500 torchbearers with flags and em-
blems. The body /was borne through. the town
by bearers, in three relays of 30 each. As the pro-
cession reached the different bodies and deputations,
these latter, with their torchbearers, fell into the
ra❑ks. As soon as the body was placed on board
the steamer Sleswig, in a chapel richly decorated
and built on a raised platform on the deck, minute
guns were fired from the iron clad ship in harbour.
A great number of tar barrels set on fire on the
eastern side of the port cast a mournful glare over
the whole roadstead. The steamer bearing the body
of the deceased Monarch, accompanied by the iron
clad, soon after left the port on their way to Copen-
hagen."
