The. procession from the grand porch to the
iFouth door of St. George's Chapel afforded to
!thousands
of spectators a scene of funereal gran7
deur,*at once the most solemn and picturesque.

I I ,ra c s, was rendered quite v,isible to the beholders
shy the lights of the torches home by the soldiery,
who lined on each side the temporary way. The
levening was, dark, but the torch-lights produced
the finest imaginable effect. While they digplrtyed
'he personages engaged in the solemn ceremony.
they cast a bright light on the countenances of
observing multitude, and brought to view,
!IWith all the magical appearailee of!' castellateo
,cenery, the venerable towers and battlements.
!and pinnacles of 'that. great- combination of edi-
ficesi, which mark and recall to us the days and

lt,was about nine o'clock Qvhen the .first part
of the Procession entered the South Aisle, and
the whole had •not taken their seats within th
Chapel until ten o'clock. The Anthem of " Hear
!my Prayer," was sung by Alasters Marshall, and
IDeering in a superior style ; and the celebrated
Funeral Anthem by Handel, upon the death of
Qn<•en Caroline, was song by Messrs. Knyvett,
:.;4.ale, Vaughan, and Masters Mat shall and Peering..
Sir Isaac Heard then proclaimed the style and titlef.
of his Majesty, and the Royal Body was lowered
into the vault about halt atter ten o'clock.—Th...
ctreormial terminated about eleven o'clock, and as
the Royal Pokes were departing with the other
Members. of the Procession, a " Solemn Voltin•

between the hours of seven and nine, collected'
lan immense crowd long before that time, who re-,
rained ri,stening to those solemn tones beard only
o the death of Princes, till they had ceased to
strike. The streets leading from ' the cathe
t.lral were thronged in every direction as the crowd,
separated. At 9 o'clock, the hour fixed for en-i
Itoming the remains of the Sovereign at Windsor,l
minute-guns began to fire in the Park, in thel
Tower,.from the shipping in theriver, and froml
several of the wharfs on its banks, and continued
!for more than an hour. Thus closed this day of
!general mourning and suspension from private,
thoughts and affairs, during which all Landon
seemed animated by one soul, and fixed upon one,

led by the tank, and the different London Haulers, for payiug

all bills on Tuesday that became duc3 yesterday, at the clear-
log-house: so that, with the exception' of the Post- office,
'where the airivai of letters rendered the attendance of a fei,

In the evening the various principal churches in the Metro=
:polls were crowded to an overflow, especially those which lay
the main streets. The fine and capacious church of
I..:lentent's Danes was not only thronged to the very outer
Floor of the vestibule, but at least as many individuals sought
in vain fur admission after the church was full; as it actually
'uotained. The venerable fabric ooSaint Dunstan's in tilt
Nest had its gloomy interior,' which rendered it stir
:ttore sombre and appropriate to the melancholy occa-

Ilion, Ming with draperies of sable, in the fronts of tin
,:pews, the galleries, the reading desk, pulpit, and organ gal-

irltizoned on a'hateliment of commensurate size; and in d
iptare compartment, in front of the pulpit, the letters G. R.
were richly embroidered under the Imperial Crown of the
j-tealro

714 grand point of attraction for the evening was'
he precincts of the Cathetfral Chutet,of St. Paul, where
assembled before seven o'clock, the greater part of
.I‘,ltinti were of the better sort of people, and all apparelledin
`deep mourning, to hear the great hell Wit the solemn knells
'of a departed and sainted Monarch.
~.The greatest order, regularity?- and decorum prevailed
to g the sable crowd's who perambi-ilated the Streets till a'
late' hour.

I; During the whole of the time that the. mortal remains of
idle hest of Princes ,were consigning in funeral solernnity.t,
kthe silent tomb (from nine to ten o'clock), tuinute.salvoq
,were disci,,rgged from the Park and Tower guns, which coin;
Ibining with the shit darli'itess of the night,*inexpreSi4
hciizlitened the sail tOlcintiity of the'scene.

st upon a review of the whole of the churches, it was a niOsif
,:zrateful -sight to witness yesterday nearly 000,000 persons,
offering up their orisons in calm resignation tothe will of
that Power who has been pleased to call to hitrOdf, after 6;
!long and glorious reign, the best of Sovereigns. -

The remains of the late -Sir VICKPRY
