Sighs, tears, and ejac- ulatinos, re-ponded from one side oi' the -quare to the other. Peace to her manes! was *he language of alHicfion. tlie valley of the shallow of death, and fear no evil—the sta> and stall* of Isra¬ el was " ith her. The procession entered by the gate ou the south ai>Ie, through which it proce* ded and movod up the nave into fhe Chapel. The oislo on each side ttaa UukI by a detachment of Foot (luard?, three deep. Upwards of 400 of the Foot Guards lined tlie paths leftdiog t.- the porch of the Chapel, ill single files, and every fourth man held a Ham beau. There were 830 used on this occasion. General Boltou had the command of the infantry. At nine o'clock precisely the gates were thrown open, and the procession moved on in Uie following order :—A Guard oi Ho¬ nor, con>UtIug of 50 men of the Horse Guards took their stations in the opeu canseuay opposite the portico ; nine <M the trumpeters followed in state li¬ veries. The Fages of the Koyal house¬ hold and the establishments of their MajeMieH, the Irince Repeat, and I riucr LeopoLcl, walked to the Chapel door most of them holding a flambeau. The hvar-e wa-- drawn by eight of the Kind's black horses, escorted by a de- raciiment of the loth Royai liussars. The next carriage with six horses, was the Princess Augte-tu's c6n raining Prince Leopold, the Dnkes of Vork and Cia/ence, as mourners. The se¬ cond was the. private carriage of his Se¬ rene Highness, closed up. The third, fourth, and fifth were the carriages ot the Pr lice Regent ; (he sj\th and sev¬ enth were th«-b, oftheDukeof York ; the eighth was that of the Duke of Sussex: the ninth was the Duke of Cumberland's : and the tenth the D"ke of Gloucester's. Each of them were drawn by six horses, the coach- rih n in full state liveries, with hat- bajids. Another detachment of 50 of ?..< Horse Guards closed the proces- '•i e. With the exception of the Jirst carriage, viih his Serene Hi^h:.ess, IPriiin Lipoid and the Dukes of York |.'»ed Chip rice, the rest moved in the pi c • ion with the windows closed.

The, Koyal Dukes conducted themselves, with becoming seriousness, but as might be expected, were less abandon, rd to their sorrow than the illustrion* and wretched widower. £ The melancholy business wa- over before 11 o'clock, but the chapel aid. rue avenues were not completely clea¬ red till 12 o'clock. At that hour tbfr whole town of Windsor was full ofbuft- tie and confusion. The carriage watf were all blocked up with Vehicles oft* very description, and the footpath* were impassable for the multitude of spectators. In a minor, but at the •ame time in a very ^reat degree, thi* confusion prevailed all the wnv to Low don : the road was covered with post* chaises, and a change ot" horse* v>aa w where to be obtained. * • •» _r- From the Commercial Advefti$or*j January 1*2.
