street, fottenhatixtoCia-road, down which the leader
of the Procession attempted to pass, was in an in-
'vent Mocked with carriages of all descriptions,
which seemed to rush to a common centre as if by
instinct. The Procet-ion was thus compelled to move
on in a sttaight line towards St. Giles's, every street
which leads out of Tottenham Court-road towards the
direction of the New-road, being rendered inaccessible
by the instantaneous blockade of the multitude.
TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD TO THE CITY. •
' At the bottom of Oxford-street, those who acted
in opposition to the misfits of the people, intended to
turn the Procession back into some of the bye streets
by means of a Regiment of foot soldiers ; but the mi-
litary were too late, either by passive obstruction or
by firing. The Procession now moved onwards till it
reached the top of Drury-lane-; and here the block-
ading system was again resorted to. A large eight-
horse ,Aaggon, just then coming up, was drawn across
the road, and upon this the People placed themselves
as if to prevent its removai. Indeed the-. People,
grown bold with success, seemed to feel ihie they
would, and ought to have everything their own way.
No further resistance was made by the Magistrates,
and the cortege proceeded down Drury-lane, through
Newcastle-street (Wych-street having been al so
' blocked up), into the Strand. lleie, however, an
' obstruction of a more formidable nature presented
itself—an obstruction both placed and calculated to.

-wished. Nay, so anxious and so determined were

born, they effectually blocked up the avenue of
Queen-street, and forced the Proce-sion to descend
into' the. Strand. It may here be proper to remark,
that the Oxford Blues, who wete on duty at the time
the Lite Guards fired on the people, did not partici-
pate in the outrage. They were, of ci.urse, during
the whole day, favourites of the people, and were
repeatedly cheered. Though the Pa.)lic were dis-
pleased to see nny military force in the Procession.
the mild conduct of these soldiers and their Officers
seealed to attract that approbation which is always
given to men who behave with moderaion and pro-
p iety, in whatever situation they may he placed.
Varions hut most unsuccessful efforts were made
to precipitate the funeral through High Holborn,
and thecce northerly, by one of the many obscure
streets with which that neighbour hard abounds. But
these efforts were futile; that people ho, with soli-
citous care, watched over her MaJesTv's interests
when living, protected her rea.ains front insult when
the motile spirit had fled. Every base attempt having
been effectually baffled. :he funeral proceeded quietly

semi-circular line across the street from the New
Church, to prevent the • rple from passing. Upon

five o'clock ; and the fatigue and exhaustion oT both
men and horses were such as to make it impossible to
go much further without rest.
• WHITECHAPEL.
The Procession passed through Whitechapel about
five o'clOck. A greater enthusiasm and 'devotion
were manifested here, if possible, than in the preced-
ing part of the route—the streets were lined with per-
sons, who seemed to have waited long for an oppor-
tunity of bestowing their benedictions on the object
of ;he Procession as it passed; and numberless fe-
males in deep mourning, many of whom wept as the
Procession passed by, filled the windows. A more
general feeling Of sympathy certainly never displayed
itself, and, at least amongst the women, it seemed as
intense as it was sincere.
STRATFORD.
A Deputation of the principal Inhabitants of Strat-
ford, dressed in deep mourning, and-carrying a flag,
met the Procession about two miles at this side of
the town. Their presence added not a little to the
general effect of the whole. As the Procession ap-
proached the town the bell of the little Church was
heard tolling a solemn knell, and a flag was hoisted
,from the steeple half-staff high. On entering the,
town the usual demonstrations of respect were dis-
played ; but it was quite clear, as in the preceding
part of the route, that the feelings by which the fe-
' male part of the spectators were actuated were those
Which " passeth shew ;" very many of them wept
aloud ; and the exclamation of " Poor dear Lady !"
burst from them as it were instinctively. The wo-
men, at least, ever considered the QUEEN as the most,
persecuted of her sex ; and &feeling of this sort,
sanctified by her removal froth this world to one
where she is " above praise and beyond reproach,"
has ripened into an idea that she fell at length a mar-
tyr to mortifications and neglect. Looking upon her
death in this light, their devotion to her cause is
warmer than could be, under other circumstances,
conceived ; ansfsurely never was wish for the eternal
peace of a departed spirit expressed with more sin-
cerity or intensity than in the route through which
her Ma'am's remains were this day conveyed. .
The Procession, which had gone at a brisk trot
after leaving Whitechapel, stopped for a short time,
beyond Stratford, to give some rest to the horses.
And here again the devotion of the people was
strongly displayed, for the coffin being made accessi-
ble to them, it was curious to Observe with what
anxiety they pressed forward to touch it, and those
who were lucky enough to succeed, seemed to pique
thenfrelves upon having attained a good of which their
neighbours in general were not fortunate enough to
be participators.
ROMFORD.
The Procession then passed tlwough the little vil-
lage of Ilford, where the same feeling was still strongly
manifested, and about half-past seven.reached Rum-
ford. The appearance of the town in its approach
was very picturesque. A fine flat country borders
the road from Ilford to Rumford ; but the monotony
of the landscape, which takes in pasture land exclu-
sively, as far as the eye can reach, is here and there
relieved by a precipitous hillock, or rising upland,
which, if it does not bestow variety, at least gives a
character of boldness to the scene. These rising
grounds were literally alive with people, though the

entertained by our contemporaries on the subject of
our present remarks. We beg particularly to direct
their attention to the quotations which we have
made from those Papers generally most favourable
to Ministers, as containing very warm and honest
reproofs from quarters whence they were doubtless
least expected :
FROM THE MORNING CRRONICLR.

The events of yesterday furnish a memorable les-1
son to the British Government. They have so covered
it with disgrace, that even its warmest partizans can-
not, and do not, attempt to speak of the result but in
terms of the deepest humiliation. The highest Exe-
cutive Authority of the country, with all the force,
Civil and Military, which it could call to its aid, and
with the full determination to carry the point which
it had in view, at all hazards of destruction to life,
and property, has been baffled, beaten, and set at,
nought by the People. _ _ _

After a whole forenoon's sighting, and after slaying
and maiming to the number of some ten or twenty
individuals, the Government of this great nation saw
itself obliged either to yield to the popular voice, or to
go on, wading its way through blood and slaughter,
to the accomplishment of its purppse. What a pas-
sage for future history ! What an illustration of the
wisdom and vigour which directs the affairs of the
British People at the commencement of the reign of
GEORGE the FOURTH!

The mere fact that the Government should have been
so defeated, no matter in prosecution of what object,
is disgraceful, and in other times would have brought
instant deprivation of office on those concerned in it:
but ►•hen we look to the object for which this dis-
grace was hazarded and incurred, it is impossible
to find words sufficiently descriptive of the pitiful
attitude in which it presents the British Government.
Posterity will be at a loss to believe that the whole
of this sanguinary strife between the Crown and the
People was about the line of road which the Funeral
Procession of a beloved QUEEN should take—whe-
ther it should go the old way to Romford, or a new
and out-of-the-way road, selected by the Prime Mi-
nister. The People were desirous that the Procession
should go the old way, because they would thereby
have an ampler opportunity of testifying their respect
and veneration for the illustrious deceased ; and they
say and are convinced (whether justly or not is a dif-
ferent question) that Government could have no ob-
ject in sending the Procession by the other road, but
to deprive the People of that opportunity of express-,
ing feelings which it would have been dishonourable
to them as a magnanimous and Christian People
not to entertain.

" The proceedings of yesterday will reflect the deepest dis-
grace on Ministers. These men seem as if they were impelled
by some irredstible fatality to pursue on all occasions that course
of conduct which is 1110• t calculated to irritate and provoke the
People, and to bring the Authorities of the Country into con.
tempt. What folly—if we can call what was calculated to pro,
duce an effusion of blood by so mild a name—to place them-
selves, without the smalleit necessity, in collision with the fed.
lags of nearly the whole of the immense population of thi;
tropolis and its environs! What a contrast, too, between
the
generous spirit of the People, anJ the paltry means(.;; old**
who endeavoured to prevent ahem from displaying, on this sag
occasion, their feelings of regard for their late lamented Qum'
•••••• • • • • •
Every measure had been taken for ensuring the success of the
object which Ministers have net deemed unworthy of so much
anxious deliberation ; but all their measures were frustrated by
an energy and a determination on the part of the People, on
which they had not sufficiently calculated. The Procession, in
spite of all their mysterious 5..-crecy, and all their deep-Laid cons.
binations, was forced to take that coarse which, in deference to
the public feeling, it ought to have been allowed at first to take.
The Common Council of the Erg City of the Empire has th s
been allowed an opportunity of paying the last respects to her
Merssrr; but these honours so the memory of her Moaner
have been purchased at en expense which every friend to hu-
manity must deeply regret."

The Government, however, would have its own wai,
that is, to go out of the way, without assigning a
single reason for so doing, except merely that it was
its sovereign will and pleasure ; and in a case where
concession to the wishes of the People would have'
been prudent, honourable, humane, and (what Lord
LIVERPOOL may perhaps prize more) statesmanlike,
it was determined to persist, even to fire and sword.
The melancholy consequences are before the Public.
The attempt has brought upon its authors that
comfiture and shame which its folly merited.
That the People acted against law, there can be
no doubt; that they acted dishonourably to the na-
tional character, will not, we presume, be the gene-'
ral opinion. There are cases when even die law must
bend to that which is the foundation of all law, the
general sense of what is right. It is not more true
that subjects may sometimes oppose the laws unjusti-'
fiably, than that those who administer them may
exert them unjustifiably; and punishment is not more
merited in the one case, than resistance is morally
correct in the other. Authority is deserving of obe-
dience no longer than while it is exercised in har-
mony with that public opinion to which it owes its
being, and must still trust for its preservatioa.
We observe that it is recommended by a partizan
of Ministers to institute legal proceedings against cer-
tain individuals, who are pointed at as having taken an
active part in the measures so successfully adopted
to prevent the procession from following the route
directed by Government. If we were to take as a
guide for oar anticipations of the future, the wisdom
displayed yesterday by his MAJF.STY'S Government,
we should think it extremely likely that prosecutions
will be instituted. The same folly which gave cause
to so many flagrant breaches of the peace may very
possibly endeavour to transfer to innocent and praise-
worthy individuals the punishment so justly due to
the criminal authors of such proceedings. But should
any such attempt be made, we venture to predict
that it will be only'productive of new discomfiture
and disgrace—of a still more solemn and explicit
declaration of the opinion generally entertained of
yesterday's transactions. We do not believe that any
Jury of Englishmen, fairly chosen, will be found to:
convict a single individual, for anything he may
have done to oblige the Procession to take that road
which it ought to have taken at first, without render-
ing such an unpleasant exercise of compulsion ne-
cessary.

of the Prints of this morning, will thew our
