reAriumt,e, NIB TB DUKE of KENT.

•
On Monthly the procestkit from Sidniouth to Windsor
commenced. attended by in immense concourse of spec-
woes from the sarriouuding country.
Upon the arrival of the procession at /triflport, the re-
mains of his Royal Highness were placed in the church
there under a military guard, during the night uf
Mooriay.
On the following morning, at ten o'clock, the Prue"-
sista moved -in the sante order, halting on 'faraday, the
titlhat Blandford ;on Wednesday. the 9th, at Salisbury ;
and oa Thursday, the 10th. at Basingstoke; the Satan '
arrangement being observed, for placing the remains of I
his late Royal Highness each night as at liridport.
In every town through which the cavalcade passed,'
the utmost respect was evinced by the inhabitants; the
shops were closed—the church bells tolled, and every
suitable attention was paid which the solemn occasion
respired.
Oa•fridav the procession moved on in the same order
to Comberhind Lode, which is situated in the Great
Park,-ott the south side of Windsor, and arrived there
at six o'clock in the evening.
At tight o'clock the cavalcade armed, and immedi-
ately advanced to the south dour. the urn was the,
conveyed to the platform leading to the vault, and Is
the presence of the Henn (the Rev. Mr. Digbv), of Mr.
Mast, Colonel Stevenson, and the Officers of the Chapel.
was lowered to the cemetery, where it was din the aichein which the coffin was afterwards;ra7et.4
At %eel's o'clock at noon, un Saturday, the public
were admitted at Cumberland Lodge to see the remains
of hie late Royal Highness lying iu State.
At seven o'clock in the evening. the bells of St.
George's chapel and the parish church began .o toll.
A detachment of the Royal Horse Guards lined the
streets from the gate of the Castle to the entrance of the
Long Walk, in open order, ercry fourth man bearing a
flambeau.

At seven o'clock the several departments of the pro-
cessian. as it was to wove from t uttiberland Lodge, as-
sembled on the lawn in front of that edifice, where theyl
were marshalled in proper order, under the direction of
Mr. Thomas, of the Lord Chamberlain's Office. Messrs.
Halley and Saunders, and their assistants, to whose :call
and activity much praise Is due. Et ery thing being in
readiness, the procession proceeded.
As it approached the town, the cowe Jail of the ca-
valcade proceeding down the Long %talk, which forms
a noble ateuue. planted at each side, for a distance°,
two wiles, with stately and venerable clue', was ex-
tremely imposing from the cud of Park-street. The
blase of the torches illuminated the atmosphere in the
distance, as they were borne on the descent of the hill;
then the dark relief of the trees cast a suitable gloom
on the mournful spectacle ; and the occasional disap-
pearance of the objects from the undulating form of this
part of the park. and their again emerging into full
view, presented one of the grandest prospects we ever
witnessed. An immense concourse of people filled the'
whole line of the procession, and on its entrance to
Windsor, at nine o'clock, the crowds were immense.
A respectful silence every where reigned ; all persons
seemed atatious to par a piper tribute to the memory of
a Prince who hail etie.eared himself to all ranks of so-
ciety. The windows of all the houses in Yank-street,
1
Castle-street, and linked every place from which a
gliseptie of the passing scene could by possibility be
ad, were tilled with respectable persons of both sexes,l
clad in deep mourning. The Castle-yard was equally
thr.eged. Within St. tieorge's Chapel a consider-
els*. .cube of persons had obtained admission No
theterth aisle and organ-loft, from *hewer. they could
command a full view of the last sad offices which
chose& this affecting ceremonial. These visitors were
admitted by tickets from the Lord Chamberlain before
seven o'rlock, at which time the chapel was so dimly
lighted as severely to snake Gbjerts visible. The place
became gradually illumined by the light of flambeaux
disteibutell among the military, who lined a platform.
rreefi.ti from the entrance of the south door down the
sill, and up the nave to the choir, over which the pro-
c . toes.: its way. The whole of the choir, the altar.
and the knights' stalls, were lined with black cloth ; and,
notwithstanding a number of ad,litional lights, the tort-
ensemble Lad a sombre sad gloomy appearance, rendered
still more impressive from the absence of the usual Sa-
cred music. There was no anthem. The organ was
silent, and in fact every thing was conducted with the
utmost privacy of which the occasion would admit, con-
sistent with the rank of the illustrious deceased.
At eight o'clock their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of
York, Russet. Clarence, and Olosacester, together with
his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, proceeded to the
house of the Dean, where they put on their mourning
robes: from ensure tber went into the chapter, where
the procession within the sacred walls was arranged.
I. pon the arrival of the preemies at the Chapel, the
drums and trumpets of the royal household, the Knight
Marshal's men, and the servants and grooms of the
Royal Family, filed off without the door.
At •the south entrance of St. Oeorge's Chapel. the
Dean and Cations. attended by the Choir, rev red the'
body; and part of the procession having fern previously
formed, the whole moved on in the following order:—
