THE CITY.

As soon as the cavalcade passed the gates of
Temple-bar, the Lord Mayor in his private car-
riage placed himself at its he-d, and in this order
it proceeded up Fleet-street. All the shops in
the streets through which the procession moved
in the city were closely shut up, and all the win-
dows of the houses in the same line were crowded
with individuals dressed generally in deep
mourning, who appeared to take the deepest in-
terest in the solemn scene which was passing
before them. The route observed through the
city was along Fleet-street and Ludgate-hill,
round St. Paul's Church-yard, through Cheap,.
side, past the Ev-change, into Leadenhall-street,
and from thence to Whitechapel Church. The
numbers of the people assembled in these streets
exceeded all calculation. The roofs of houses,
and every point which could command a view of
the procession, were poisessed by anxious mul-
titudes.
As the procession moved along the city, the
Oxford Blues, who then formed the principal
escort, were cordially greeted by the populace
on either side of the street, who shook them by
the hands, slapped them on the thighs, and patted
their horses, exclaiming " Success to the Blues,"
" The Blues fOr ever," " True Blues," and
using other expressions of approbation. Such as
could not come nearer to them, applauded them
by clapping of hands. Those who had waited
on her Majesty with addresses, were not negli-
gent on this occasion. • -After bearing a heavy
rain from four o'clock in the morning till twelve

at noon, they joined the funeral procession. We
observed amongst thosetteople7th# carpenters, the
brass-founders, morocco !gather-dressers, coopers,
&c. They marched in ranks, with banners and em-
blems of their profession. They carried banners.
One large banner, white with black letters, had the
following inscription :=--44 Power of Public Opi-
nion ;" another had—" United we stand;" another
—" Spanish Leather-dressers; Justice will tri-
umph ;" another—" Friends of Humanity."—
The sailors Ns ho had assembled at Whitechapel,
and a number of societies in various parts, moved
towards Hammersmith, on learning that the corpse
of her Majesty was to be conveyed by the out-
skirts of the metropolis towards Harwich. The

streets were, during the day, crowded. At the
boundary of the city, in Whitechapel, the Lord
Mayor and Mr. Sheriff Waithman left the pro-
cession : it was then 5 -o'clock; and the fatigue
and exhaustion of both-man and horse were such
as to make it impossible to go much further with-

out rest.
ROUTE FROM WHITECHAPEL TO ROMFORD.
From Whitechapel the procession moved on to
Mile-end, in the same order in which it had pass-
ed through the city, with this difference, that
before it reached to the former place it was joined
by a large additional body of sailors, who formed
in small parties of sit abreast, intervening be-
tween the hearse and the carriages in front. The

procession at this place (Milo-end) advanced at
a much more rapid rate than it had been enabled

to do before. the groups of mariners whichhad
just joined it, however, kept pace with it, and
continued to move on in very regular order until
it reached Bow.

The procession entered Bow a short time past
five o'clock. The crowds which lined the roads
and filled the houses on its approach to this place
were very great.,___No,t,o4i-.el444tio.n—on
even a single individual' could obtain a sight of
the approaching procession remained unoccupied,
The streets were thronged, the houses and win-
dows were filled, and not a place was left empty
at its approach.

We mentioned before that a large body of
mariners joined the procession at Mile-end. They
continued with it (though even at this place the
rapidity of its movements was considerably great-
er than what would be called very quick walk-
ing) until it reached nearly to Bow : at this place

,the cavalry (and of course the hearse and its at-
tendant cart'iages),advanced at such a quick rate
as defied the exertions of an ordinary pedestrian.
—This rapid pace was continued for the greater
part of the way between Mile-end and Bow ;
and though at the latter place, in consequence of
the great crowds which preceded it, its speed was
relaxed, yet still it was greater than that with
which an ordinary pedestrian could keep pace.—
In justice we Must add, that the haste which we
have here been forced to notice; did not con-
tinue throughout the procession- to Romford.—
The procession continued in nearly the same
order from Bow to Stratford, in both of which
places its entrance was announced by the tolling 1
of the church bells. In Stratford tl;re was the
same concourse of spectators. At this4atter place,

the bodies of salors which joined-the procession
formed in lines, at each side of the road ; and as
soon as the precession passed through, they re-
turned towards town. Many of the horsemen
who had accompanied the funeral from Hyde-
park, also quitted at this place. ';('`lam cavalcade
then moved on, occasionally ina very quick trot.
to Ilford. Here the funeral was met by la/ge
bodiea oi4the inhabitants, on horseback, oil fcTot,
and in vehicles of every description, which lined
the roads at both sides. Among these we noticed
a number of private carriages filled with ladies
dressed in deep mourning.
At a quarter-past six o'clock the funeral en-
tered Ilford, the-streets of which were thronged
with spectators. At the doors and windows of
every house we noticed groups of individuals.
At Ilford the greater part of the Knight Mar-
shal's men left the procession. The cavalcade
then moved on towards Itomford, but at rather a
slower pace than it had kept since it left Mile-
end. At about a mile at this side of the town it
was met by a deputation of the inhabitants, at-
tired in deep mourning, each individual bearing
a black wand, .covered at the top with crape.
Preceded by this body it entered Romford at a '
quarter to eight o'clock. The inhabitants had
been
_expecting it for several hours before; and
the most strange stories were prevalent as to the
cause of its delay. The White Hart-inn, where
it was determined that her Majesty's suite
should stop and dint-, was hung with mourning.
A large canopy covered with black cloth, hand-
some!), festooned, was raised over the gateway
under which the persons composing the proces-
sion had to pass. As soon as the mourners had
alighted from their carriages, the hearse with the
Royal remains was drawn up about a hundred
yards further into, the town. The Horse Guards
(blue), which had attended it from London, were
here relieved by a party of the 4th Light Dra-
goons. Of these,a small guard of honour was placed
round the heata;e; the remainder of the troop parad-
ed up and down the street in its vicinity. It was
expected by some that the stay of the procession at
Rornford would not exceed half an hour, and by
others it was thought that it, would remain there
for the night. Indeed, from the fatigue which
all the individuals who formed the procession
had undergone, it was impossible that they could
proceed without some considerable time being
allowed for refreshment and repose. We under-
stand that the principal persons of her Majes-
ty's suite objected to going farther that night,
and that some considerable time was occupied
in the discussion between them and the indi-
viduals who had the direction of the funeral on

this subject. It was at length determined that the
body should be conveyed on to Chelmsford, and
that the principal persons of the suite should re-
main to rest at Romforcl until as early hour in the
morning, at which time they were to set off to
overtake the procession before it reached Colches-
ter. Aid. -vVood, Dr. Lushing tOTI, and Mr. Wilde
intended to accompany the body to Chelmsford
last night. At a little before 11 o'clock the
guard of honour in attendance on the Royal
corpse began to move, and very soon the hearse
was dra,7n up to its former station in the proces-
sion. It was at this time preceded by the depu-
tation which had ushered it into the town, each
member bearing a lighted torch. The procession
was also accompanied for a short distance by the
principal, inhabitants of the town.

Darin? the few short stoppages which the fu-
neral made o❑ the road, a great number of people
pressed round the hearse, anxious to be allowed
to touch the coffin. The wish of many of them
was complied with, and they laid their hands on
the end of the coffin with the utmost reverence,
and departed apparently highly- gratified. It
was not expected that the procession would reach
Chelmsford before half-past two or three o'clock
this morning.

THE METROPOLIS.
The general appearance of the metropolis on
this day of mourning was little less striking than
on that tun the remains of the late King were
consigned to the tomb. The churches were opened
for the performance of divine service, and the
natural di,sposition to mourn the severe loss the
nation had sustained was strengthened by every
species of solemn observance, as well as the com-
plete exclusion of worldly thoughts and affairs.
Yesterday, although the expression of feeling was
wholly spontaneous, we noticed very few shops
indeed, within the precincts of the city and the
surrounding parishes, which were.
_not . closed in
part. Great numbers of them were wholly so,
and the instances were far from being rare, where-
in the owners had closed the doors as well as the
shutters of their shops. We noticed with pe-
culiar feelings of satisfaction, that of the mem-
bers of the Society of Friends, who have ever
sheivn, as a body, a warm attachment to the cause
of injured Majesty, there was scarcely an indi-
vidual who did not adopt this latter course. • The
tolling of bells in the different churches, in 'most
instances muffled, was, as far as our observation
went universal. On the batiks of the river in.
different places, but particularly near IN estmin-
stet Bridge, minute-guns were firing in the early
part of the day. All the ships in the River had
their flags half-Mast high, and the same tri-
bute of respect was paid at the Tower, and other
districts distant from the line of the procession,
while its route remained undetermined.' At a
quarter before three. the Lord Mayor., who had
just before received a note from Mr. Sheriff Waith-
man, which was brought by a horseman at full
speed from the line of the procession, issued a
written notice at the Mansion-house,- that the
funeral procession of her Majesty would pass
through the city. We observed with some re-
gret that those instances of disrespect to her
Majesty's memory which occurred in the city
were chiefly among that class of the community
whom we expect to• govern their actions by a
sense of decorum and propriety, whatever poli-
tical feeling. they may entertain.

ATTACK ON THE MILITARY.—;FURTHER PAR-
TICULARS.)
The number of persons who have suffered in
consequence of the attack on the military, near
Cumberland-.gate, is not yet accurately known;
but as far as we have been able to learn, it is
fortunately much less than, under such dream-.
stances, might have been expected. The only.

individual actually killed on the spot was Richard
_Honey, a carpenter. Another. Geo. Francis,
bricklayer, is supposed to be mortally woundo,d.
He was carried to St. George's Hospital. Some
others have been carried to Middlesex Hospitals
but their wounds are said to be,slight. The un-
fortunate man Honey was among the spectator.;
at Cumberland-gate. 'ne soldiers were assa.;led
with stones and brickbats. The attack and-
tiring, it appears, took place at the moment ttie,
people were endeavouring to turn the direction
of the funeral down Oxfore,-street.

The body of Honey lies at the General Towll-4
shend public-house, in Oxford-street, where go"
inquest will be held this afternoon. It is said
lie was shot by an officer. The ball entered
the left breast, near the heart. Mr. sheriff
Waithrnan, who was with the procession rA the-
time the firing took pace, wns at much pairs
on his return to investigate the circumstances ;
and we understand he has collected a consider-
able body of evidence, which will be brought
forward this day before the coroner. He 145:t
night communicated the names of several persons.
to the summoning officer to be subpoenaed as Wit',
nesses.

About twenty yards of the wall and palif,ad-O,
of the Park, adjoining Cumberland-gate, were,
pulled down by the people within the Park jo
their endeavours to get out.

[FEITIIF.P. PARTICULARS:a
The Cavalcade proceeded on towards the Fit*
Gates, at Kensington ; here the people had tape'
measures to prevent any passage. On:the arrival
of the soldiers, however, a struggle took plaoe"..
The Horse Guards advanced and forced the gate'
open, but were driven back by the people, and the
gate again shut. The struggle assumed now-
rather an alarming appearance. Three tirnes.
the gate was forced open by the military,
shut again by the people. Many blows and sabre
slaps, not cuts, for the military behaved
great forbearance, were given and received. At.
last, one very active and determined man' who
seemed to take the lead of the mob, called eat/
" You must cut us down first, before we allow yo,
to pass." The military gave up the contest, an,°

lane. The head of the procession was then htlf'.
ried on down the line of Piccadilly, and had P.(/-
ceeded nearly as far as Lord Coventry's hoWel•
when it was met by a fresh reinforcement °
horse soldiers, by whom its further progress 113
that route vas stopped. The conduct of the cot
during this stoppage, towards the military, 114,.
of the most insulting and abusive nature. Aft e,;
some hesitation, the leaders of the processit
and the military commanders being apparently
occupied in deliberating on the course
be taken, the whole made a retrograde (11°v',
meat towards Hyde Park Corner. Upon thi;
the mob gave a loud and deep shout, 0'
mud and missiles flew at the soldiery. fr°,a-rl2
all directions, A. party of Dragoons ve.t
immediately sent round to Park-lane, with str"ti
orders to remove the carts; in which service, ti
regret to say, many of them, as well as the 10!
were badly wounded, the former with stoge"•
and the latter with the swords of the soldiery's
;
One Dragoon had his eye dreadfully cut with
huge stone ; and he would no doubt .ha"st
killed the • man with his sabre, were it n°7
for the humane interference of Sir R. Bak.e..
The line of waggons, however, was so vet'
compact, that it was found impossible to rad:
move them, and this circumstance being corn°
nicated to the Magistrates, whose strict ortie,
were, that it should pass no other than the bott‘,6°
prescribed by the officers of his Majesty's u.:.
vernment, it was, after considerable stopW/
agreed to open Hyde Park-gate, and orders wax°
given to -admit the whole cavalcade, anti tc' eY.
