llotn•ithstanding the d radial state of the weather,
the roads to Ilammersmith were seen covered with
groups of people, proceeding, in mournful silence, as
clay-light broke, and rendered them risible to the eye.
The melancholy dejection which marked the demeanour
of all, was deepened in its effect by the lowering aspect
of the heavens, and the torrents of rain which coati-

need to pour, without intermission, during the whole
of the morning. Ar the hoer fixed for the departure
of the awful cavalcade arrived. the wbule of Hammer-

utmost anxiety, cuesiderat►le uneasiness was excited
by a rumoured doubt as to the Hoe of road which it
would take. Sutne, and particularly those enanected
with the Committee, confidently asserted that it would
take the route of Kensington, while others, with no
less apparent authority, asserted that the road to
