streets from becoming so wet and muddy as, uses

o'clock, the cortege, which had latterly proceeded
very slow pace, entered Windsor, and turning u?
Castle•stteet, proceeded in the direction of its journey a
to the Chapel. In the earlier part of its progress,
procession had excited some disappointment in the
minds of the people, who expected to have found it
mole gorgeous, and attended by a stronger military
aid ; but, from this point, passing across the Castle-
ard, and under the antique arches, to the Chapel-gate,
he whole show—taken in combination with the ancient

teemed a stiiking and an impressive cos, trail. As
he cavalcade entered the Chapel, the deep tones of the
.irgan were heard reverberating without the building

zoffin from the hearse to the bier within the Church.
Poe Burial Service was then read' by the Dean of
Windsor. The pall and ornaments were taken off
mil the coffin was lowered into the vault. The King

aith the roar of the artillery, announced to those within
or without the building, that the ceremony was.
complete. In a short time, the chapel was cleared,
tie soldiers were in their ranks, and departing, "the
carriages were rattling hastily homewards, and the
zrowd of Windsor, with the exception of only a few
araggl rs, had disappeared. Within another hour, the
streets were as silent as on an ordinary occasion : the
ights were all extinguished, and a fall of snow had obli-
terated even the footsteps of the numbers who had
crowded to the town so lat:ly before.
