FUNERAL OF LORD BYRON.

•
[FURTItEII. PARTICI/LAU.]
The remains of Lord BYttON were yesterday
morning removed from the house of SirEnv,. XNATcoeut.r.,
in Great George-street, Westminster, on their way towards
the place appointed for their final resting-place. At eight
o'clock the undertaker and assistants arrived at .the house,
and commenced the necessary arrangements for the funeral
procession. The crowd assembled in front of Sir Edward's
house, and along the whole line through which the melancholy
cavalcade passed was immense. •- The room hi which the body
lay was still illuminated with wax-lights. The coffin was
covered with e splendid pall of black velvet, trimmed with
white satin, and .decorated with-the arms of the deceased. At
the head of -the coffin wassplacvd, upon a separate supporter,
a large square case, richly, covered and ornamented to corres-
pond with the coffin, containing four earthen urns, of Grecian
workmanship, in which were deposited, at Missolonghi, the
heart, brains, &c. of the deceased. Near the coffin, ou the
ground, was an escutcheon, which was painted on wood in
Greece, and there displayed when the body of Lord Byron lay
in state at Al issolonglu. The crest on this escutcheon is-a stag,
but the real family crest, and which is preserved on the armo-
rial bearings upon the coffin, is a mermaid. Large black
plumes were placed on the coffin, and the coronet, on a crim-
son velvet cushion, stood on the case containing the heart, &c.
The carriages appointed to form the procession assembled in
front of the Session-house, and at a given signal were brought
round to the door. Every thing being in readiness the whole
moved on in the order described in our Paper of Friday last.
After the hearse came five mourning carriages, each drawn
by four horses.
The First Carriage contained, the present Lord Byron, Col.
Leigh, Mr. Hobliouse, and Mr. Hanson.
The Second Carriage—The Hon. Douglas Kinnaird, the
Hon. A. Ellis, Sir F. Burdett, and Mr. Bruce.
The Third—Mr. Thomas Moore, Mr. Thomas Campbell,
Mr. Roger", and Colonel Stanhope.
The 'Fourth —Mr. :Orlando , Deputy from Greece; Mr.•
O'Aleara, Mr, Holmes, and-Di. Francesco Bruno.
The Fifth—The domestics of his Lordship, including Geo.
Barba Fallier Cacciatore, the body guard, who is a Greek of
uncommon personal beauty ; his hair is jet black, and he wears
large mustachios and whiskers, the latter 'coming completely
under his chin. This man, we understand, was much attached
to his Noble plaster, and expresso' the deepest grief for his
loss:, he remained claw: to the body during the whale of the
voyage home: he was dressed this day in a plain suit of black
livery.
After the mourning coaches, followed nearly 100 carriages,
sent as a mark of respect by the friends and admirers of the de-
ceased. Among others, we noticed those of
His Royal Highness the Duke of Susses, the Duke of Bed-
ford, the Magni, of Lansdown, Earl of Carlisle, Earl Grey,

The Procession took the following route :—Parliament-
street, Cockspur-street, Haymarket, Coventry-street, Princes.
street, Gerrard-street, Bean-street, Oxford-road, Tottenham.
court-road, to St. James's Chapel, Hampstead-roads and here
it stopped for a short time to prepare for the more extended
journey. At this spot, too, those Gentlemen who were not to
take part in the_ ceremony at Newstead Abbey, took their de-
parture ; as did those carriages which had followed as a mark
of respect.
By one o'clock the cavalcade, in its reduced state; and de-
prived of the feathered decorations, which were packed up for
the journey, proceeded at a quicker rate, passing through Cam-
den.town, Kentisb.town, and by the great North road to Wel-
wyn, where it was to stop for the night.
This day the journey will be resumed, and continued to
Ingham Ferrers ; to-morrow to Oakham ; and on Thursday to
Nottingham, On Friday the body will be removed from Not-
tingham with renewed state and splendour, to the vault in
winch it is to be placed.
A fine looking honeiit tar was observed to walk near the
hearse, uncovered; throughout the morning ; and on being
asked by a stranger whether he formed any part of the funeral
cortege, he replied that he came there to pay his'respect to the
deceased, with whom he had served for two years and a half in
the Levant, when he made his tour of the Grecian Islands.—•
This poor fellow was kindly offered a place by some of the ser-
vants who were behind carriages, but he said he was strong,
and had rather walk near the license..
