I the mortal remains of the late Commsnder-in-

excited than ordinary interest. The arrange

seen parading, and hour afterwards the Infantry
which were to perform part OF the ceremony, we've
proceeding to headquart rs, and at halfpast thee
p. n. all were assembled, and the procession was

ltnppearrd most strange tn see Mussulman
| taking part in Christian ceremony, OF what was,
al all events the commencement of one, although
others than the actual companions in arms Of the
deceased will attend the last rites. The process
sion was closed by general officers, and their STATS,
and an officer from each regiment IN the Grimen.
In consequence of the army being under arm S al
the time of the ceremony, the number Of Specta-
tors was small ard confined TO the few civilians
from BalRkleVH, and others connected with the
shipping. Three infantry bands were brigaded,
and played the ''Dead March in Saul" as the pro-
ceSSIOn marched of, and bands were stationed at
intervals along the line during the entire route
The Royal SappeTS and Miners were the first body
OF men who lined the road; next came the Guards,
and then all the regiments Of our amy III success
sion, until we reached the French head quarters.
At this point the greater number of our cavalry
we've assembled, aud the bands Of the 10th HuS-
SnrS and 18th Lancers were bTigaded. A battery

approached, and this compliment was repeated at
many points afterwards. The road was nov Occu-
pied by French troops with their ine bands, at
intervals, in the same manner as by our own al
the c"mmencement--he only difference observable
being that the French stood with their arms pre-
Sented instead Of reversed, as is the custom with
US, and their music was Of different character.
Near the French headquarters also drawn
up fine body Of SaTiin an LanceTS. II was ap-
preaching sunset when we arrived at X, catch
Bay, and this was Certainly the most picturesque
/ part Of tie scene. The breeze rendering the at
mospheTe comparatively cool. The dust caused
by the tramp OF so many horses had been eTydiSa
/ gEeeable, but on approaching the bay We found
so thlckly studded with shipping, with yards cross
! ed, that it looked like London dock, and The
whole scene seemed as if changed by magic, and
that the remains OF the departed great already
received in his native country. The ROYAL Ma
zines, who lined the approach 10 the pier Of em-
haTkailon, wearing their white UndTeSS Jackets,
/ presented most soldieTIike and neat appearance,
and clntrasIed vivldIy with our own dusty uni

nobleSt specimens OF the British tar, III the clean
| est dresses, with their heads uncnveIed.-The
naval authorities here received the body of the
hero Of Alma and lnkerman from his brothers in
aims, and after watching in silence or rather tu-
ring the salute Of another 10 guns, thundered hy
a battery boat, and conveyed to man ot-waI, over
which 1t had TO be passed. 10 order that it might be
again lowered into the small Caraloc, when the
mourners separated, and thoughtfuIly returned 10
their camps in front.-The orders of the day pub
