One of the most imposing ceremonies ever
witnessed in this city occurred at the obsequies
of the four foreigners recently massacred by the
brigands. The Englishmen Herbert, Secretary
of Legation, Viner, and Lloyd were Inferred
from the Protestant Chapel, and Count Albert
de Boyl, Secretary of the Italian Legation, from
the Roman Catholic Cathedral. The remains
were accompanied to the grave by their Majes-
ties the King and Queen; the chief aides-de-
camp of the court; the venerable Archbishop of
the Greek Church and his deacons; the members
of the Greek government; the diplomatic corps;
the officers of the army and navy, and all the
prominent persons of the capital, including
many ladies. About eight thousand persons
were collected between the church and the
burial place.
The King, in long military cloak and helmet
cap with feathers, walked Immediately behind
the collins, which were borne upon the shoul-
ders of marines, and covered with the national
flags. A large body of the National Guard, with
the band playing dirges, preceded the procession
to the place of interment. Yesterday the de-
capitated heads of seven brigands, killed by the
soldiers during the late encounter. we're dis
