half a mile in length, and accompanied by 03e91
hundred carriages and a vast crowd of people'
reached this city. The body of the deceased
Monarch, after it had been removed from the sir,
horse funeral car, was borne hither fromFraerlueu
by the country people. At the head and Oa
of the procession marched detachments of the F°("1
Guards. The corpse was preceded by the offlaet°
of the staff of the General-in-Command and otber
officials on horseback. Immediately following the
body came the Minister for the Duchy of Schleswig'
the President of the Court of Appeal, and a flume•
rous body of officials, including the High Preside''
of Flensburg. On the arrival of the procession 61,
the town the church bells were all tolled and the
principal streets illuminated. The procession 05

magistracy, and the legal functionaries. Farther

by other towns, the city officials, the foreign
consuls, and all the corporate bodies, With
about 500 torchbearers with flags and on'

ranks. 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 Copor
