rttßTlltill PARTICULARS.

At an early hour yesterday morning, the Abbey bell
hegint.tng to to'), announced the approach of the hour
when the remains of the lamented PRIM111!R were to he
consigned to the silent tomb; and moil the moment the
corpse was deposited in the grave, that solemn tere•
mony, with some short intermissions, was continued.
Son e hours before the time appointed for the mournful
procession to leave Downing-street, vast numbers of
respectably dressed individuals, most of whom were in
moaning, began to congregate in the streets in that
vicinity. Although up to II o'clock no outward pre-'
parations were manifested, not even the customary ob-
servance of placing mutes at the door; about that hour
some of the mourning coaches were driven down White-
hall, for the purpose of proceeding to the residences of
those distinguished individuals who were selected to
follow the lamemed Minister t'. his grave, and convey.
ing them to Downing-street. Shortly after 11 o'clo.k,
two mutes, dressed in theusual manner, with scarfs, sash,
and wands, were stationed at the door of the Foreign
Office; and others of the undertaker's men were now
rapidly passing to and fro, busily engaged in making
the necessary arrangements for the solemn pageantry.
About 12 o'clock the first mourning coach drove•up to
the door; and after that period the distinguished cha•
ratters whn were to join in the mournful procession at
inlet vals arrived. The crow i now began sensibly to
increase, and it regoiied the active assistance of the po-
lice to elf -cc a pas,age for the carriages. At a few
minutes before one, the hearse, drawn by six fine black
horses, drove np to the door, and within a few minutes
of that hour, every thing being arranged, the c, flit,,
borne by eight of t'•e ()alert rker's men, was brought
out of the house. and deposited in it ; Da% ning•street

at the Abbey. Tire crowd was now immense ;so much
so. that notwithstanding the heavy fall of rain. which
had driven vast numbers to take seine in the adjoining
houses the whole line of road was almost impassable.

At twenty minuses before two o'clock the funeral
per-cession arrived at the great western gate rif the
Abbey. The marshals, mutes, and pursurvants entered
first, with a large plateau of black plumes. After they
had advanced a few paces up the aisle, the Rev. Dr.
Ireland, Dean of Westminster, and the Rev. Mr. Ben-
tinck, who had been for sonic time waiting by the side
of the great gateway, near the monument of Mr. Pat,
met the coffin, and as they preceded it into the Abbey,
read the commencement of the burial service. As
they advanced up the aisle, the mourners, whose names
we have already mentioned, followed in the following
order. First, Mr. C. Canning, the son of the deceased,
as chief mourner, supported on the right hand by his
Royal Highness tl.e Duke of Clarence, and on the left
by his Ka) al ll•ghness the Dukerit S asses, and his uncle,
the Duke of Portland. Nest, the Marquis r f Clanricarde,

the Duke of Devonshire, and Lord Leveson Gower; the
Lord Chancellor, Lord Goderich, and the Marquis of

and Mr. Backhonse. As they advanced up the aisle,
the Members of the Corps Diplomatique, among whom
were the Prince Esterhazy, the Prince de Lievesi, Count
Munster, and the Marquis of Palniella, fell into their
rear; and alter them came those distinguished person.
ages of our own country, who, though not of the family,
were anxious to evince their respect for the memory of
the departed Senator. T:sey had previously assembled
in the Jerusalt m Chamber, from which they proceeded
to the interior of the Abbey, on learning the approach
of the funeral to it. They :singed the mselves along the
left side of the north aisle, and as the procession passed
them, gradually filed off into its ranks. The foßiwing

who were present on this melancholy occasion:

The members of the corps diplotnaligne were the next
who left this :nautoleum of greatness, and were fol-
lowed at leisure by the various N9blemen and Gentle-
men who had walked in the procession. We never
SAO' mote unfeigned sorrow than that which was
eahi-
bired in the countenances of the actors in this mournful
scene ; and the consequence was, that a corresponding
feeling was excited in the breasts of those who
were only spectators. The place in which they were
assembled, holding in its precincts the sacred ashes of
departed sages, heroes, patriots, and Kings, was of it-
self calculated to inspire sensations of melancholy regret,
and to pioiuce a conviction of the frail and uncertain
tenure on which all earthly grandeur and distinction
is enj eyed ; and those sensations were aggravated in
intenseness, and that conviction was brought more home
to the perceptions of men on the present oecasion, by
the reflection that the enlightened individual whom they
saw committed to the grave full of honours if not of
years, had raised himself by his owts talents from a
comparatively humble condition, to the highest shun-
, tion to which a subject's ambition can aspire under
a regular Government; and that, after he had un-
expectedly gained that proud eminence, he was
shortly and suddenly called away from it, almost be-
fore lie could be said to have had time to explore the
whole of the extensive prospect lying at his feet. He
-who contrasts the " cold obstruction" in which Mr.
Canning now lies, with the magnificent hopes which
flourished in his view a few short weeks ago—only as it
would seem to be the more nnpiteously
readily acknowledge not merely the justice of the pa-
thetic exclamations in which Cicero vented his grief for
the loss of Lucius Crassus, but also the extraordinary
coincidence which existed between the closing fates of
the Roman and British pail iot. " How fallacious are our
hopes ;—how uncertain our fortunes 1 how full of vanity
our noblest strugglel—which in mid career often break
down and pee ish,and are forgotten, before we even gain •
sight of the distant goal which we are labouring to reach.
For in that very year in which LCr ',sus first attained the
highest power in the State, after previously discharging
all its minor offices—in that very year were all the pro-
spects and projects of his life overturned and destroyed
by death. That event covered his family with sorrow,
his country with disappointment, and all good men
with distress.* Yes, it is a proud consolation to the
family of Mr. Canning to feel, that in this their hour
of bereivement, they do not lament alone. All that
is distinguished for science, and for learning, and for
liberal sentiment, and for political ability, and for
commercial wealth, and for hereditary rank in this
great empire, sympathizes with their loss ; and the
•ulgar, as they are sometimes superciliously called,
embalm with their tearsc—the tidiest tribute which
they can pay to departed greatness,—the memory of-
him, who did not think himself too highly raised above
their order" to feel for their wants, and to relieve
their grievances. Evert lover of freedom in the old
world and in the new,...-every friend to his species in
every civilized naion ender beaven,—in short, every
man, who has not thank, too deeply of

The baleful dregs
" Of these late ages, inglorious draught

and so " defiled the native honours of the human aottl,''
feels that he has lo,t in Mr. Canning an assoCiate, a
protector, and a powerful benefactor..
•` While Freedom lives, his memory shall be dear.
" Aud reap fresh booours each succeeding year;

Whilst the corpse of Mr. Canning was yesterday
undergoing the melancholy ceremony of entombment.
an incident occurred which made a forcible impression
on the minds of the spectators. When the Procession
entered the porch, grrat difficulty was experienced for a
minute or two in assembling the mournful cavalcade in
the oeder in which it was to proceed into the interior of
the Abbey. The coffin was accordingly placed on tres.
eels, and, singularly enough, without the slightest in-
tention, the place selected was esactly underneath the
monument of Mr. Pitt. This fact was pointed out to
the rest by one of the distinguished individuals present,
and the tear of regret fell fast from the eyes of those
who, by this accidental circumstance, were led to draw
a comparison between the assimilating talents of those
two great Stitt men.
