14th. At Hamburgh, in his 79th 
year, Frederick Gotlieb Klopstock, 
counsellor of the Danish embassy at

Zurich in 1749 ; his ‘* Messiah,” at

lished at Hamburgh in 1787. His

o’clock in the morning, a procession 
of 76 coaches, composed of the ses 
nate, the diplomatic body, the 
clergy, the professors and members 
of the two gymnasiums, the men of 
letters, and a number of merchants, 
repaired to the house of the de- 
ceased. The body was drawn by 4 
horses, escorted by a guard of ho- 
nour on horse and foot. After hav- 
ing traversed the principal streets of 
Hamburgh, the procession moyed out 
by the gate of Altona, and was re- 
ceived, in the entrance into that ci- 
ty, by the first president, Stegman, 
accompanied by the officers of go- 
vernment, the professors, the clergy 
of Altona, and the citizens of all 
classes. Three young women, 
dressed in white, and carrying 
crowns and baskets of flowers, pre- 
ceded the retinue, which, being in- 
creased by 50 carriages, arrived at 
the burying-ground of the village of 
Ottenten, the place of interment.— 
All the guards of the two cities paid 
military honours, and the ships in 
the harbour hoisted the mourning- 
flag. ‘The procession having arrived 
at the temple, the poem of the Mes- 
siah was placed on the coffin: at this 
instant a young man stept out of 
the crowd, and placed a crown of 
laurel on the book, which was open, 
and the young women of Altona 
fixed theirs likewise on the coffin. 
At the same moment a sublime strain 
of solemn music was sent up by 
more than a hundred performers.— 
During a moment’s silence, an indi- 
vidual of the retinue advanced to- 
_wards the coffin, took up the poem 
of the Messiah, and read the twelfth 
canto; after which, the coffin was 
deposited in the grave of his first
