LORD NELSORS FUNERAL,

Mourn You for him ; let Mtn be regarded
As the most noble Cork tha: ever Herald
Did follow to his urn.

The idea of this grand National t olemnity has so
long engrossed the public mind, that long before
day-light yesterday morning the whole Metropolis

Might be fairly said to have bccn in motion. Car-

riages were seen driving in all dire&ions, With the
families of persons of the first distinEtion, going to
the most eligible situations to see the last honours
paid by the State to the manes of the greatest. NaVal
Officer our Country has produced.—Groupes of
men, women, and children, in a more humble situa-
tion of life, went. to places where there was a more
friendly or less costly accommodation to be found ;
and even the poorest classes of the people felt then-
`selves so much interested in the scene, that they
flocked together from every quarter endeavouring to
get a place where they might have good standing-
room in the street, and hoping that they might have
even, a glance of the Procession as it passed. Al-
Most all the Volunteers within the Bills of Morta-
lity, and several Regiments of, the Line, were also
on the alert. before daylight. .
A Pavior in Milibank, of the name of JOHNSON,
had contra&ed to clean the streets, and gravel them
all over, in the space ofitwenty-four hours ; a vast
Number of labourers were set to work on Wednes-
day night, and the business was so extremely well
conducted, that the whole of the Herculean task
was completely accomplished before nine o'clock in
the morning. In the mean time the carriages of
Such personS as were to join in the Procession were
Marshalled in Hyde Park, and drawn up in the order
already described.
At half past ten the Procession began to move
fronithe front of the Admiralty in a dire& line
tbwards St. Paul's., All the streets were completely
lined tw_o deep on both sides of the way, close up
to the Cathedral; They were supposed, however,
to form two distill& lines, as the Corps belonging
to Westminster and to Middlesex, within the Bills,
drew up in different positions, ac...-ording to the or-
ders from the War-office ;on the outside of Temple
ar, as .it is termed, the St. James's being on the
right, and the , Royal Westminster on the left,—
Their centre was at.l'emple _Bar, and was composed
of the Custom-house,,Whitechapel, and some other
Corps, whose partiollar district - did not fall im-
mediately within the line by, which the proee”ion
was to be condtialed. The City Line, had the East
London Militia for its right, the :West-London for
its left, the other, Corps following as close as they
could possibly stand, the East India Regiments
Ling the first of Volunteers, up to St.
The business of the day was so extremely Well
'arranged, that every Corps ,!yas able, without dif-
ficulty, to station itself at the point allotted to
it, and left no vacancy on its right or left. The
musters were in general particularly strong, as it Was
felt that the duty of the day was meant to' be an

expression of regret at the loss of a most valiant
brother in arms ; the Royal York MaryyAe-bone
Volunteers were computed to have mustered near
one thousand men.; the Bloomsbury was also re-'
marked for its numerous attendance on the occasion.
his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX was at the
head of his fine regiment the 'Loyal North Britons,
stationed near Bedford-street, in the Strand. The
Duke- of YORK rode with his Staff from the Admi-
ralty to- Temple-bar. In—shoit there was not a
*)gle Corps that did not- appear to feel itself in-
terested in the solemn scene that wa4lo pass before
Meru. Almost all the tops of houses, and every
Window from the Admiralty to St. Paul's, were
crowded with spelators, and behind the Volunteers
the people pressed ,in such numbers, that it was
next to an impossibility to obtain -a passage from one
spot to another ;1 every where near the great streets
through which the Procession. had to pass, the
crowd was so immense that it was past all calcula-
tl°n, and a person might readily suppose that the
country for a great many miles round had crowded
into London.

Pcitir fine Regiments of Infantry, the 2 1 st, 3 t st,
79th, and 92d, (the former two called Buffs, and the
latter two being Highland Regiments), preceded the
teneral order -of the Procession.- The 10th (or
Prince of Wales's), the 14th, and the 17th Begi,
Illents of Light Dragoons followed them. The
-itifantry marched in the most solemn and steady
zbanner.

On one of their Standards was ,inscribed the
4 "Ord EGYPT, to commemorate the gallant exploits
the Regiment had achieved on those Shores ;
411otiler of the Colours bore honourable testimony
°I the service it had been in, by the many shot-
l•
'ci,es that were to be seen, through it. .The Prince's
Regiment and the Grey's are known to be a; fine
Regiments as nay under the Crown ; and h was
tll'served that the Military was as grand a sight as
441 part of the regular Procession. The order of
ti't Civil State has been already mist accurately
