we could see, of either et the other Royal Dotes;
but the funeral pomp concluded with about a dozen
coaches, belonging, we believe, to the Nobility and
Gentry connected with the Household ; assd the rear
consisted of a large body of Life Guards intermixed
with Lancers. The grandest effect in the Procession
was the appearance of the military when the torches
were lighted : the illumination extended nearly a
tbi!e, and the rich glow of their scarlet uniforms, to.
gether with their splendid helmets and caparisoned
horses, gleaming along the lines, formed a picture
that would at once have excited the transport and
biffled the skill of the finest artists; but it will be
seen from this account that even with the large ac.
cession acquired at FrOgmore, the Procession was
neither so numerous nor so splendid as bed been es-
peeled. The form of Procession was as follows:
The Carriage of his Royal Highness the Princeof Saxe-Coburg,
with Six Greys.—Empty,
The Carriage of his Royal Highnevs the Prince Regent,
with Six !Jas.—Empty.
•
The Carriage of his Royal Higtin• ss the Duke of York,
with Six tirevs.—Elopty.

The Procession arriffiret St. George'e Chapel
nearly en hour sooner than had been expected; and
Rome inconvenience resulted from Ibis unusual excel,
of punctuality. We understood that several persons,
whose business it was ro form part of the Chapel Pro-
Cession, arrived too late to gain admittance. The
Chancellor of the Eseliequer and Lord Bathurst were
excluded • some of the higher officers of the Clue's',
Household gained admittance With great difhculty ;
101 l it was asserted, though we cannot vouch for the
*fact, that the Duke of Northumberland, appointed
to be one of the pall-bearers, could not enter to per.
'form his allotted function,. Either from this cir.
cumstance, or the limited number invited, the Chapel
had certainly a meagre and empty appearance. There
'seas also a went of policy in the paucity of admission-
tickets issued for the ante•chapel; for a procession
without spectators is, of all things, the most omit,-
•teresting ; and yet this was the case yesterday.—
,That grand and ample space which would have con-
:gained several hundreds of spectators, bad •orily a
few soldiers, whose torches scarcely illuminated the
place. and only served to show the dreary solitude
otter 'attach they were scantily scattered.
We now proceed to describe the ceremonial as it
.took place within the walls of St. George's Chapel.
