Funeral of George Peabody.

LONDON Nov. l2-The obsequies of
Geo. Peabody took place this afternoon.
A funeral procession formed at the man.
sion of De Curtis Lampson, in Eaton
Square, the residence OF the deceased
1t consisted of bearse and five mourn
ing coaches. Among the mourners were
Gen. G. Grey, Her Majesty's private sec
rotary, representing the Queen; Mr.. Mot.
ley, NJ mister of the United States; Benz
Moran, secretary the American Legation;
Freeman III. Morse, American consul at
London; Russell Sturges and J. S. Nor
gan, Esq. Following the procession

of Wales, Sir Curtis Lampson, Lord
Mayor and Aldermen of London, and Of
Courts of Middleesex and Surrey, Ouch
ess of Somerset, Marquis of Townshend,
Lady Franklin, Miss BIrdett Coulls, and
many others.
The funeral cortege passed slowly thro'
the streets. which were lined with silent
crowds Of spectators, to Westminster
Abbey. The venerable structure WAS
completely filled with people who had
been admitted by tickets, and were all
dressed 10 mourning. The choir was
hung with black, and the sombre aspect
of the interior was only relieved by the
richly decorated robes of the Lord Mayor
and Sheriff. Standing near the sancto-
rum as the body was brought in, was
MIR. Gladstone, Lord Clarendon, the
Dean of St. Paul's, the Rev. Thomas
Benney, a dissenting minister, DIR. Geo.
Edward Day, and Mr.. John Bright. A
flood of sunshine poured thro' the win
dows of the choir at the moment the
procession entered the building.
The coffin, which was placed on n bier
at The end of the choir, was plain and
unornamented, and covered with black
cloth. On the lid was brass playe,
with an inscription giving simply the
name of the deceased and the place and
date of his birth and death. The Lesson
was read by the Archdeacon Of West
minister.
AS soon as the ceremony within the
church was over, the procession formed
again and advanced to spot near the
western entrance, where temporary
grave had been prepared and an excava-
ton two or thee feet deep had been
made, the sides of which were lined with
black drapery. Here the body was de-
posted, and will remain until it is trans
ported to America.
AT the head Of the grave, on the right,
stood the mourners, including the Amer
lean minister, and on the left were Gen.
Grey, Mr.. Gladstone, Lord Clarendon,
the Lord Mayor, the High Sheeiff, and
clergy of Westminster aud St. PauI's.
The solemnity of the occasion was pro
foundly felt by the vast assembly,
Many present she'd tears during the
choral service. which incIuded the sing.
ing cf tie anthem. "IIis body is bur-
led in peace, bat his name Iiveth ever
MORE"
After the c5hin had been lowered into
the grave floral cross was placed upon
it. This act was witnessed in profound
silence, and served to increase the emo
ton which pervadei the congregation.
The people then passed around the coffin
and took last look at tho features of
the deceased.
