TEE LATE MRS. FRY.

The remains of Mrs. Elizabeth Fry were interred on Mon-
day in the Friends' burying-ground at Barking, in this
county. The funeral was conducted in a strictly unosten-
tatious style, in conformity with the recognised custom of
the Society of Friends. The body did not arrive at the late
residence of the deceased lady, at Upton, from Ramsgate,
till seven o'clock on the morning of the interment. About a
quarter before eleven o'clock the funeral cortege proceeded en
route to Barking, under the superintendence of Mr. Smee, of
Finsbury-pavement, in the following order :—The hearse,
containing the body, drawn by two horses, and preceded by
four men walking, who officiated as undertakers, followed by
the carriages belonging to the respective members of the de-
ceased's family, their personal friends and acquaintances, be-
sides others belonging to several distinguished individuals,
resident in that and the immediate neighbourhood, number-
ing in the whole thirty-nine. The cortege, which extended
more than half a mile in length, moved at a very slow pace,
and, added to the thousands who had assembled to pay their
last tribute of respect to departed worth, gave a solemnity to
the proceedings which can be better conceived than de-
scribed. Among ithe mourners we observed, in addition to
the sons and daughters of Mrs. Fry, Messrs. Samuel Gur-
ney, sen. and jun., Mr. J. Masterman, M.P., Sir E. Buxton,
Sir J, H. Pelly, Mr. John Joseph Gurney, a great number of
the members of the Society of Friends, and other. persons of
distinction. Between fifty and sixty carriages from various
parts were observed at Barking, waiting the arrival of tha
body, which reacheAl there about one o'clock. After the ne-
cessary preliminaries had been arranged, the body was re-
moved from the hearse and consigned to its last resting-
place, and the death-like silence that prevailed for several
minutes was broken by appropriate addresses from two female
Friends, and one from Mr. John Joseph Gurney. The de-
livery of the addresses occupied more than two hours, and
they were listened to with the most intense interest, but
from the concourse of persons assembled many were pre-
vented from hearing. We may observe, no funeral ever
created so great a sensation in that neighbourhood. From
an early hour in the morning carriages of various descrip-
tions might be seen proceeding to Upton, in addition to hun-
dreds of pedestrians of all classes and both sexes, anxious to
witness the funeral obsequies of one whose life was marked
lijf every virtue which could tend to render her name illus-
trious, not only to the present, but succeeding *enerations.
We cannot close without offering our humble tribute of re-
spect to the memory of one so eminent for her philanthropy
and benevolence as Mrs. Elizabeth Fry. By her death so-

could procure without money and without price. Surely a
