FROM THE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL.

His MAJESTY'S arrival was strictly and entirely a
private one. Had it been intended to partake at all
of the character of a public entry, it would have
taken place at Dunlearv, where there were not fewer
than 200,000 persons assembled yesterday, in the ex-
pectation of something like a public arrival taking
place. His MAJESTY, however, bad determined
against anything of that kind, in consequence of the
late melancholy occurrence at Hammersmith. Among
the persons who received the Kitstc at Ilowth, yes-
terday, and escorted him to the Lodge, were the Sold-
CITOR-GENERAL and Mr. Justice MOORE.
It is understood to be his MAJESTY'S intention to
remain some days at the Lodge in the Park, in the
most complete privacy. The Patriot states that his
NIAJEsTy will not receive any visits from personages
not of his immediate Household or of the Govern-
ment, until notice shall be officially given to the
Public.

We understand, from authority, that all Addresses
from Counties, Cities, and Corporate Towns, will be
received at his MAJESTY'S Levee, as is customary in
England.

NEW DUNLEARY.
/mom THE DUBLIN JOURNAL.

Yesterday (Sunday), thousands of genteel people
crowded Dunleary pier, which, since the preparations
made for his MAJESTY'S landing has become a place
of fashionable resort. The harbour was full of ves-
sels and craft of all descriptions, and the whole scene
was particularly animated. About two o'clock a
Lancer was dispatched to Dublin, and he went off at 1,
full gallop. 'lhe Admiral's ship and gun-brigs were
observed to unfurl their topsails, and Sir WILLIAM
CURTIs'S yacht went to sea with all her canvas set.
It was now conjectured that the Royal fleet had been
seen from the high grounds, and a small cutter, on
board of which we were, stood out in the direction of
N.E. with the view of meeting the squadron.
A sloop of war passed us for Dunleary, whence, in
a short time, we perceived the Admiral with six ves-
sels of war and several pleasure yachts, coming out
after us with all sail. Several steam vessels came in
for Dunleary and Howth, on board of one of them
we have since learned, his MAJESTY came privately
to Howth harbour.

At four o'clock we had a distinct view of the Royal
squadron. His Majesty's yacht, with the flag at the
main, leading—a small cutter followed close at her
stern. Two frigates were at some distance, and se-
veral other armed vessels, with a number of private
yachts in company. The wind now falling away,
we found ourselves between the two fleets, at the
mouth of the beautiful Bay of Dublin—fifty sail of
various craft around us. The batteries and towers on
the coast announced the approach of our beloved
MONARCH, by discharging their artillery, which pro-
duced a fine effect ; and the scene altogether, em-
bracing a prospect from Lambay to Dalky, was beau-
tifully picturesque beyond description.

PROGRESS OF THE QUEEN'S FUNERAL

PROCESSION.

CHELMSFORD, WEDNESDAY, Nuts O'CLOCK.

The Church was lighted up, and apparently crowded
with mourners, when the remains of her MAJESTY ar-
rived. The Clergymen appeared in their gowns. The
coffin was deposited behind the pulpit, and immedi-
ately before the altar. All decent preparations had
been made for the solemn and melancholy occasion.
The pulpit was hung with black, and had the Royal
arms emblazoned in front, as upon the hearse. The
square space in which the coffin was deposited was
likewise hung with black, and had on each side six
lamps, with reflectors behind them. Three large wax
lights, in silver watered candlesticks, were placed at
each side, and rose as high as the top of the Royal
coffin. The body and galleries of the Church were
filled with persons, most of them in deep mourning,
taking a melancholy interest in the fate and suffer•
ings of departed Royalty ; the emblems of mortality
everywhere multiplied around, and consecrated by
solemn services of religion, which commenced as
soon as the Royal remains were introduced, formed
a striking and impressive scene. A funeral anthem
was played, while the mourners who formed the
Procession stood round the body. As soon as it was
finished, an order was given to clear the Church, and
a guard of Blues took their station beside the coffin,
N here they remained for the night. So deep was the
interest of the mourning population in the object be-
fore them, that the order for clearing the Church was
executed with difficulty, and only after repeated ex-
hortations from the Clergyman not to make his
Church a scene of riot, or render it necessary to call
in the constables. _

The shops of this town are all shut, and every re-
spectable person seen in the streets is in mourning.
It was resolved, when the Procession reached Chelms-
ford at four, that it shuuld again start at nine, but
whether from a feeling of mercy to the horses which
are to convey it all the way to Harwich, and which
