dett CQutts and many others.
The funeral cortege passed slowly through the
streets, which were lined with crowds Of silent
spectators, to Westminster Abbey. The venerable
structure had been completely filed with people,
who had been admitted by tickets, and were all
dressed In mourning The choir was hung with
black and the sombre aspect OF the interior was
only relieved blythe robes OF the Lord Mayor and
Sheriff. Standing near the sacrarium, as the
body was brought in, were Mr.. Gladstone, Lord
Clarendon, the Dean OF st. Paul's, Rev. Thomas
Binney, a dissenting minister; DR.. Day and John
Bright.
A food Of sunshine poured through The win
dows ct the moment the procession entered the
building. The CONN, which was placed on
bier at the end Of the choir, was plain and unor-
namented, covered with black. On the lid was a
breastplate with an inscription Civ ng simply the
name Of deceased, place and date Of birth, and
death. The Lesson was read by tn, Archdeacon
OF Westminster AS soon as the cere uony within
the church was over, the procession formed again
and advanced to spot near the western en-
trance, where temporary grave had been pre-
pared, and an excavation two to three feet deep
made, the sides Of which were lined with black
drapery.
Here the body was deposited, and will remain
until taken to America. Lord John Thinne read
1.-The remainder Of the burial service at the head OF
the grave. On the right stood the mourners in
Guiding the United States Minister, and on the
left were General Grey, Mr.. Gladstone, Lord
Clarendon, the Lord Mayor, High Sheriffs, and
the clergy Of Westminster and St. Pauls.
After the CONN had been lowered into the
grave, floral cross was placed on 1t. This act
was witnessed in profound silence, and served to
increase the emotion which pervaded the con-
gregation. The people then passed around the
coffin, and took last look at the features OF the
dead.
