descited—the eleg:int ProduCiions of - tie arts
upon 'the Coffin have been.also mentioned—and, as
far as words can convey an idea of .the
of solemnity; taste, and inagnificenee in the Fune-,
ra]aT, it has been attempted :to he described:=-
There is,, therefore, no room to say any thing fur;
ther on the-se points. But it must be observed that,
as far as it was in the power of the tradesmen, every
thing that was possible was done towards heighten-
ing the splendid. and dignified appearance of the
spe6tacle ; at the same time, however, it must be
confessed, on the Other band, that, notwithstand
ing the grandeur of the appearance of the spe&acle
If on the whole, it would have looked considerably
more splendid, and have been much more gratifying
to the feeling's of the people, had the greater part
of the state not been buried, as it was, hi coaches.
Notwithstanding the Cavalcade was so long that it
was upwards of four hours .from the time of its' first
motion, until the last coach stopped at the Gate of
St. Paul's, and though there was such an immense
number of people in the streets, we did not hear of
any serious accident having occurred amongst the
crowd. The people appeared to takeSo great a share -
in the solemnity that was before the view, that a
greater degree of decorum was observed than was
ever befOre noticed in a multitude. consisting of so
great a number of people.

The idea of having four Lieutenants Of the' Royal
Navy motrning; one at each corner of the Coffin,
appears to have been abandoned.; the Sailors beL
longing to the riacrry did not appear to move the
car forward as was at first intended also. Perhaps it
was thought that this was rather an overstretch of
fancy, which was -rather too light fdr the solemnity
of the occasion. The Coffin was quite uncovered,
and the great elevation of the pillars of the car waS
so favourable to, the admirers of public spe&acle,
that the Public were most' unanimous in expressing
their high approbation of the taste and splendour of
both.

On the Procession reaching Temple-bar it was
joined by the LORD MAYOR and Corporation, who
fell in immediately after the PRINCE of WALES ;
and on its arrival at St. Paul's, the regular troops who
formed part of it, together with the City Militia,
Light Horse, and Infantry Volunteers, were sta-
tioned to preserve -the necessary order. 'The whole
reached the Cathedral shortly after three o'clock.
The diffirent bands, fifes, &c. relieved each other
in playing the most solemn funeral dirges during the
