WINDSOR, SUNDAY NIGHT.

The performance of divine service in the choir of St.
Georges,' Cjiapel was this day resumed, and with unusual
pomp. The whole of the decorations of the church for
the ceremony of the late King's funeral remained for dia-
pity, the Dean and Canons not having used on this ociet-
sion any of that despatch in removing them which formed,
after a former ceremony, a ground of accusation against
them. It is said that the King expressed a wish that no
precipitation should be used in dismantling the chapel.—
The splendid canopy remains in its position over the pas.
sage to the vault, and looks to far greater advantage in
broad day-light than it did on the night of the funeral.—
The large coronet which surmounts it harmonizes with the
bright colours of the printed window, and the gilt banners
and ornaments of the Knights, which are nu the same line
of vision. The coffin was deposited in the vault -arter
midnight on Thursday, and both of the coronets
were laid upon it, and the iron gate was then locked, arid
the two keys delivered to the proper officers who have
charge of them.
The two large slabs of Portland stone were then replaced
upon the mouth of the vault, as well as the marble pave.
ment which covers them. This last disposition of the
coffin and the vault was executed by Mr. Tebbutt and his
as-istants in a quick and complete manner.
A splendid hatchment with the Royal arms, decorated
the black cloth of the pulpit, and there was a full attend-
ance of the choristers to perform the service in the organ
gallery.
The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Long, one of
the Canons of St. George's Chapel, and brother of Lord
Farnborough. It was, as such sermons usually are, and in
such a place must be, a warm panegyric upon the deceased
monarch, whose reign the Reverend Gentleman emphatically
described as being marked by all the elements of greatne►s
and human glory. In the time of the late illustrious
Prince, he described that it bad pleased Divine Provi-
dence to scourge the world with an usurper, who had
overthrown thrones and altars, and deluged nations with
blood; but under the wise and beneficent councils
of the Sovereign who was so lately entombed in that
chapel, that usurper had been laid prostrate, and thestates
of the world restored to contentment and peace,—the
honour and dignity of Great Britain maintained,—her ge-
nerosity and justice exhibited—and the renown of her arms
rendered as conspicuous as were the milder virtues which
enabled her to establish upon a secure basis the tranquillity
of nations. He said he did not mean to describe all the
bright events which were associated with the sway of the
late monarch,—his constant desire to promote the happi-
ness of his people,—all the institutions for the diffusion of
education and religion, which he had so splendidly but
unostentatiously patronized,—his only intention was, at this
moment, to touch generally upen those which were most pro-
minent, and which were so sensibly felt by a mourning people
in the full tide of their woe. Standing in that place, and
so near the tomb and death-bed of the illustrious Prince
whose loss they had all deplored, he said he could not help
mentioning one trait in the characterof that Monarch which
must embalm him in the memory eta Christian people. lie
knew it as a fact, having heard it from the lips of thosewho
had soothed the last moments of their late lamented King,
that his Majesty was sensibly alive to all the duties of re-
ligion,—that 1w partook with heartfelt sincerity of its
consolation; and expressed his pious resignation to the will
of the God of Heaven. Ile was particularly desirous of
evincing all the charities which distinguish a devout Chris-
tian, and his Majesty had repeatedly front his death-bed
exchanged forgiveness with the world, and manifested the
most edifying desire to forgive and he forgiven, wherever
in the vicissitudes of life he supposed he had received from
others, or given cause himself for the existence of any
passing feeling of anger.. He concluded by calling on his
congregation to offer up their prayers at the throne of
Grace, for the eternal welfare of the soul of a Sovereign,
to whose virtues they were so deeply indebted for the tran-
quillity and happiness which they now enjoyed. This
sermon, unlike the service of the Dean at the funeral, was
delivered with becoming solemnity.
The King, when receiving the Dean and Canons on
Friday, particularly noticed Dr. Kent, the head-master of
Eton College, and also one of the Windsor Canons, and at
parting said, "I expect, Dr. Keat, that the Eton boys
will have front me one week's holyilays." It is remark-
able that even on the day of his late Majesty's funeral,
they were not indulged with nn exemption from scholastic
duties. His Majesty probably remembered the hearty
cheer with which they dispersed the silence of the Windsor
folks, when the King was proclaimed upon the bounds of
Eton, and repaid this interesting portion of his juvenile
subjects with a mark of attention suited to their sense of
enjoyments. They are to have the King's week of holy-
days, in addition to is simil it week of relaxation which
they obtain at this season of the year.
The stud of his late Majesty was on Saturday removed
to Busby and Hampton; among them was the beautiful
set of ponies for his phaeton, which it was erroneously said
the late King hail given to Lord Mountcharles. These
horses, most of which are very beautiful, are on Tuesday
to be inspected by his present Majesty, who will retain fur
his own use such as lie approves, and the rest will be
brought to the hammer at Tattersall's
The establishment at the Lodge will not be maintained.
While going through the Castle on Friday, the King con-
versed with a number of the servants, inquiring particu-
larly as to the nature of the duration, and length of their
services : likewise what portion of it had been spent with
his father as well as with his brother.
Ie is said that some of the persons so interrogated thought
his Majesty a little too inquisitive; and further, that lie
let fall some expressions which were not construed as very
favourable to the continuan:e of a somewhat expensive
French cookery department.
The King went on Friday very minutelyinto the'whole
system of the Royal establishment at Windsor, gave some
orders for its future government, and said lie would return
with the Queen about the 7th of August, to take up his
residence at she Castle, where be intended to remain until
October. He will have art installation in St. George's-
hall, as soon as it is entirely finished, and give a series of
grand enter taininents in the newly decorated state apart-
ments. He examined the plans fir the further works to
be executed by Sir Jeffery Wyatville, and there is no doubt
that the public will have henceforth convenient admission
to the noble terrace, from which they were nerrr wholly
excluded until the late reign, since the time of its kende.
tion by Queen Elizabeth.

All the black cloth has been stripped from the platform,
which will be taken down forthwith, and a survey made
to remunerate Mr.Tehhott for the cost of its erection. The
bier upon which the coffin was borne to the tomb now
stands in the south aisle of S. George's chapel ; it is a
strong timber frame work, upon small rollers, with merely
a few ropes at the sides and ends for the supporters.
There was a very thronged attendance this day at St.
George's Chapel, and the practice of shutting the iron gate
of the choir, after the first lesson, was this day incon-
siderately enforced, a►;ainst the position and convenience of
the crowd of ladies and gentlemen who stood undor the
arch of the organ gallery.

CHESIIIRE.—The note of preparation for a con-

of Mr. E. D. Davenport, who offers himself if the
freeholders should be dissatisfied with the other
leandidates. We have reason to think that no others
will show themselves. Mr. Legh, we understand,
never had an intention of offering himself on this
occasion. Lard Gray had such an intention, as we
stated last week; but most probably bib Lordship's
views have been altered by recent events.— Van-

returned a ministerial candidate since 18(4, previous
to which year they bud always had the retina of both

a majority of 24 out of more than 3,700 voters; am
in 1820, Birch and Denmun, by a majority of but
33. At the last contest, the ministerial candidate
