The Courier says, as early as o'clock
this morning, groups ofIndiyiduals belong

With the exception Of the two mutes nj
the door, and the closed shutters, there

mournful business Of the day The peo-
Pile, Notwithstanding, continued 10 flock to
the spot, IN front of the lamented Premer's
late residence. The utmost silence pre-.
vailed, the multitude seeming 10 satisfy the
deep interest by which they were moved,
by merely gazing upon the house otmourn-
ing. Al IL o'clock the crowd had become
so dense as to extend nearly to the end of
the street, and II became necessary To make
II clearing. This was effected by party
of constablcs, of Westminster, who were
on horseback, at the head Of large body.
1t was remarked, that scarcely one Of the
many conalables and officers in attendance,
was out of mourning. The crowd thus re
moved, were allowed to occupy the open
space below Downing street, a clear pas.
sage being kept open for tho approach OF
The he0rse and mourning coaches, and
such carriages as were admitted to come
up the street to the house. Shortly'alter
IL o'clock, the hearsc, drawn 10y six horses,
! and followed by nine mourning coaches
with four, drew up along side the gardens

reached to Whitehall place. No carria-
ges were allowed to follow in the process
sion, excepting those ofthc noblcmcn and
gentlemen who were admitted as mourn
ars to seats in the mourning coaches, and
OF such carriages us were allowed, two on

or carriages set down at the back entrance
in st. Jamcs's Park, and then went round
and took their stand Mt Whitehall, begin
ming from the end Of Downing street, a.
long beyond the Horse Guards to the Ad-
miralty. All carriages, except those Of the
mourncrs, were rejected and il is stated,
that had this rule not been rigidly enfOrc-
ed, the melancholy corteGe would have cX-
tended from the residence of the deceased
Minister TO Temple Bar. Notwithstand-
ing the anxious wish of The friends and re.
latives to have the obscquies conducted in
the most private aud transformations man.
ncr, it was found impossible to limit the
number OF mourners to thirty nine so nu-
merous were applications and so fervent
and sincere, the demands of private friend
ship, TO pay the last earthly homage TO the
remains Of the illustrious departed.
Every arrangement was made TO obviate
any impeachment that could be torseen, from
the crowding of the anxious multitude IN
the bricispace which the procession had to
travel--all persons admitted to the interior
of the abbey, were set down in Deans yard
and conducted through the cloisters to
their places. Deans yard was completely
filled with carriages, mostly Of individuals
of distinguished rank.
No one was permitted to draw up Mt the
grand entrance, which was reserved for
the admission of the coffin and the funeral
exclusively.
From Downing street to Tothill street.
including Parliament street, part of
Bridge street, and the entire space sur
rounding the Abbey and the burial place,
every window and door was filled, and the
parapcts of all the houses within view ex-
hibted lines Of anxious gazcrs bending
with seeming interest upon the scene be-
low.--To those who witnessed the scene
il will be recognized us the unexaggerated
truth that an air of sincere gricfand afilic-
ton was impressed upor every counte
nance, and gave a decided character to the
whole group.
In Oowning-strcet, many fingered about
