WINDSOR, WF,DNESIDAY NIGHT, 12 O'CLOCK

When the -bodies of the Ptincess,Charlotte and
key Royal' Infant cane into Windsor last
the Ffilirral. Piocession was pre.seded by I(}( `of!
the Eloise Guards (Blue), and the Infant and thel

Urn were-im-nediately conveyed, to' St. George's
Chapel, and t sere received by .the Hon. and Rev.
iDr. Hobart, the Dean, the Rev. Mr, Northey, and
he Rev. Dr, Cookson. The Dean stood with his
hack to the West, in the Ulia'pel, the Rev.
Mr. Northey and the Rev. Dr. Cookson on'
each side of him. The most pi ufound sirence'
was observed, by all ; eight Yeomen • of the;
Guard standing round. The body and the urn'
were then gradually lowered by a windlass in•
to the Royal Cemetery ; two of the yeeimen
descending to receive them. They were deposited
temporarily on a shelf, previous to being placed
on the coffin of the Princess. No service took;
place, but an awful stillness was preservid•. This;
was the whole of the ceremony. The procession
came in last night without flanibeatx, or any other)
lights, at a slow and half-foot pace. The Mili-1
tary were obliged occasionally to halt, to Isecom-
emlate the movement of the funeral. It was a
fine night, and the moon had shone brightly all
the way from Claremont till the procession reachedi
the town of Windsor ; but here in a remarkable
manner the sky became overcast; the moon was lost
in clouds, and darkness ensued—a sudden change,
which visibly affected thousands of spectators,
wllO 1 ~ ved with the utmost decorum, and after-
wards retiree( to their respective homes, filled with!
,orrow. The town yesterday had been extremely
full ; but this morning there was a great acces-
sion of numbers 'from all parts, Loping to see the
ceremony of lying in state. The unabated grief
of Prince Leopold was the thief cause,of disap-
pointment in this object. His Serene Highness
had exl,ressed his i•ntention to sit up all night with/
the corpse of the Princess, or at'least to Visit it. He
did so duringthe night, and again at 8 o'clock this
morning. Some few persons attached to the house-
bold were afterwards permitted to enter the awful
Chamber. The Parish Church was exceedingly,
thronged, this morning to bear Divine Service,.
and a Sermon to be Breached by the Rev. Isaac
Gossett. ' The learned Preacher took his text'
from the seventh chapter of the Revelations, Terse'
17, ~ And God shall wipe away all tears from their .
eyes." The discourse was truly eloquent and im-,'
pressive. The 39th Psalm was chanted by way cot:
anthem by the choristers. At noon fresh nUmbers.
arrived, aniong whom were many of the Nobility,
who were accomsnodated with apartments in the
Queen's Lodge. The shops were all shut up
docely,„ and the streets were filled with people-
wikose mournful countenances depicted theirgrief.
At 8 in the evening, the funeral procession of the
Princess Set _ out from the Lower Lodge: to' the

chapel. There were no torch lights, nor beating
[of drum.. Prince Leopold', attended by Barons
Illardenbrock and Dr. Stockman, followed 'the
'hearse in a mourning coach and six. Then camel
two carriages of his Serene Highness. Five{
mourning coaches empty concluded the procession.l
The Chapel, at seven o'clock, presented a most
imposing appearance : the lower division of thei

‘v,as lined with tralitary, bearing flam-
beaux; the recesses of the aisles behind the mili-
tary. were filled with strangers from all parts of
he king{l,—). About 60. persons were admitted
special tickets into the organ-loft.
At nine o'clock exactly there was a sli;.;ht huz,

%is if some moement was hug-int-dog at the bottom
,
!uf the south aisle : this was _followed -by a com-
!plete and awfursilenee : the procession then be-
