HER LATE MAJESTY.

Prt.OGRESS OF i'fl4-FTJNERAL PROCESSION.

CHELMSFORD, Wednesday Morning, Half-past 10, A.m.
The procession with her late Majesty's remains reached this
place at between three and four o'clock this morning. The
body was deposited in the church with proper formalities. At
twelve o'clock it is expected that it will begin to move towards
Harwich, where they are to arrive in the course of the ensuing
night. At Romford, Mr. Wilde dispatched an express to Mr.
Hobhouse, with instructions for its arriving at half-past seven
in the morning, in order to give time to that gentleman to
communicate with the Earl of Liverpool, and dispatch an ex-
press to Chelmsford before the procession starts. Lord Hood
and Lady A. Hamilton were much agitated when at Romford.
The Blues are ordered to Chelmsford. I passed some of them
on the road, and chattered with two or three on the events of
yesterday. One of them told me that the fell stones and mud
upon them like snow; but, said he, " We were ordered to for-
bear, and no man was willing to violate hid orders." Every
body here speaks highly of the Bing, and indeed all are truly
loyal. A cavalry officer arrived express this morning from
London.

(ANOTHER ACCOUNT.)—The body of the late Queen ar-
rived here this morning, at half-past three o'clock, with the
escort; a few persons were also with the procession. Imme-
diately the corpse was conveyed into the church. Every thing
was perfectly tranquil : the orders, I understand, were, that the
procession should go forward on its journey to Harwich at seven
o'clock, but it was found the horses were so much knocked up
that it would be impossible for the escort to set out before eleven.
The soldiers who are next to take charge of the body, are, how-
ever, now under arms, but it is not expected they will commence
marching before the hour I have stated.

Baix TWOOD, Wednesday Morning, One o'Clock, A.M.
The great numbers that have assembled during the day have
decreased considerably, and have gone to their homes disap-
pointed and fatigued. Vast crowds of persons, male and female,
still fill the street. About 100 persons, with torches, are wait-
ing the arrival of the procession, which is now within sight.—
The greatest respect was paid to the deceased. The inhabitants
escorted the cavalcade on the road to Ingatestone.
IISTGATE ST ONE, Wednesday, Quarter past 3 o'Clock.
The intelligence of the rising of the populace in London has
reached this place, and reports of the most ridiculous nature
are circulated. A horseiian has just arrived, (one of the un-
dertaker's men),_ stating that the procession is approaching this
place. The moon shines brilliantly, and the cavalcade is seen
at a distance. The people behave in a manner highly becoming
and consistent with the solemnity of the occasion. The crowds
manifested not the least disposition to run ; but some of the
farmers' labourers cried, " God bless the Queent" whilst othors
" Hold your noise, it an't-right at a fulattral."
CHELMSFORD, Quarter past Three o'Clock.
Many of the inhabitants are waiting at the outskirts of the
town, in momentary expectation of the Funeral Procession ap-
proaching within sight. One of Messrs. Bailey and Saunders's
-men had just entered the town, and given information of her
Majesty's remains being near at hand. The procession moves
very slowly, the horses in the mourning coaches and hearse are
completely knocked up. The Pages and the out-riders are in a
Most deplorable condition, and appear half drowned and cover-
ed with mud, caused by the rain ; the trampling of the horse
troops, and the splashing of carriage-wheels. The cavalcade
moves towards the church. The greatest order and regularity
are preserved..

FOur o'clock.;--The coffin,containing the body of her Majesty,
has-been removed fiorn the hearse into the church ; it is laid
upon a bier in the aisle, with the velvet pall placed over it. Sir
George Nayler and, Mr. Hood, the herald, carried the crown
and cushion into the church and placed them on the coffin. The
houSehold of the late Queen have been put down at the door of
the Black Boy Tavern, the whole of which was previously
taken for the accommodation of the persons forming the proces-
sion. Aftor a guard had been placed over the remains of her
Majesty, Sir George Nayler, and his assistants; retired to the
Inn, and were glad to seek repose after the extraordinary exer-
tions and dangers of the preceding day.
Five o'clock, A. ah—Orders have been given by Mr. Bailey
for every persOn who intends to go on from Chelmsford with the
Funeral, to be in perfect readiness to start by half-past nine
o'clock.
Six o'Clock—Most of the inhabitants are gone to rests The
town is perfectly tranquil, and only an inconsiderable crowd is
collected near the church, where the soldiers are on guard over
the remains. of the Queen.

ROMFORD, Nine o'Clock.

An express has just arrived at these Barracks, and two
troops.of the Blues are ordered immediately for Chelmsford,
under the command of Colonel Hill, the brother of Lord Hill.
The inhabitants of Romford now are confident that something
extraordinary has taken 'blue at Chelmsford. Lord and Lady
Hood and Lady Anne Hamilton set off from here at six o'clock
in a coach and four with outriders. Mr. and Mrs. Wylde ar-
rived here in a private carriage a considerable time before the
procession, and set off for Chelmsford.

Eleven °o'Clock.—An express has just passed through this
place, and the feais of the good folks here have subsided. " All
is genet at Chelmsford, and. • the cavalcade is to move towards
Colcheiter at ten o'clock," was the intelligence given by the
,person riding. express.
Her Majesty's Coachman received 'several injuries on his
head, from stones and missiles thrown by the crowd, who stop-
ped up the roads to prevent the procession going the route
which had been previously 'determined upon. Many of the
Blues received concussions and other injuries during the affray.
CHELMSFORD, Nine o'Clock.,
• -
Lord and Lady Hood and Lady Hamilton are just arrived.
Messrs. Bailey and Chippenden are making every exertion to
proceed by ten.O'dock ; but such is the condition of the horses,
that it is believed they cannot be ready before twelve o'clock
to Set-off. The streets are beginning. to fill again most ra-
pidly. Some.of the mourners are not risen from their beds, being.
quite worn out ; •it may be some time before the cavalcade pro-
ceeds.

MANSION-HOUSE.—THE QUEEN'S FUNERAL.—
In justice to the proper feeling and peaceable
conduct of the immense multitude of persons of
both sexes that was drawn together from all
quarters into the city on Tuesday, when the
Queen's funeral procession passed through, we
feel it our duty to notice, that not the slightest
accident of any kind occurred, within the know-
ledge of any of the officers, on the whole line
from Temple-bar to Whitechapel—not the small-
-est violence or even insult was offered to the
soldiery ; but, on the contrary, they were alrnost
constantly cheered by the populace with the cries
of " the Blues"—•-" the Blues for ever," the
whole of.the way ; and yesterday morning not a
single
.person was in custody, at this office, or at
the Guildhall Justice-room, for picking pockets,
or any act of riot, tumult, or disorder; committed
.during tlie.time of, or in any manner attributable
,to, the passing of the procession through the city:
