The hearse, which was entirely co- 
veredwith the richest black Genoa vel- 
yet, was ornamented with black silk 
fringe and tassels. Around its base 
the velvet was enveloped in a variety 
of folds, in the style of the Roman 
draperies, Above appeared the 
magnificent plume of feathers. The 
platform was elevated by a flight of 
three steps, on the top of which 
was placed the coffin, covered with 
_ black velvet, with six richly chased 
_ and gilt handles, three on each side, 
The inscription plates contained 
only simply the name of the de- 
ceased, and his age ; the other orna-

four: It was performed by the rev,

sion it was stated, that bands were 
to be introduced in various parts : 
that was not the case; and the so- 
lemn effect of the whole was in that 
respect much injured ; in place of 
falling in at proper intervals, and 
relieving each other, the bands of 
the three regiments of guawds fell in 
side-ways, one at the palace-gate at 
St. James’s, one next Carlton-house, 
the other next the Horse-Guards, 
but did not at all join ; this spoiled 
very much the effect of the scene. 
All the king’s household trumpeters 
were there, dressed in black, with 
cloaks, haberdines, and scarfs, and 
played the ** Dead March in Saul,” 
&c. with great effect and impression. 
The crowd was great; butsuch was the 
judicious arrangement made by the 
police magistrates on the one hand, 
by stationing their officers in the 
various divisions, so as to embrace 
every avenuc, and the dispositions 
of the horse and foot-guards, with 
the volunteers, under the command 
of major-generals Ainslie and Cal- 
vert, that not the most trifling disor- 
der occurred. ‘The body was: re- 
moved on Thursday night from the 
private chamber to the saloon, 
which was previously lined with 
black cloth. The coflin was placed 
on tressels, with six wax candles, 
three on each side. Banner-rolls, 
and other of the usual insignia, were 
placed around in the usual form. 
The apartment was illuminated dur- 
ing the night. ‘The body is depo- 
sited in a grave of considerable 
depth, which is immediately adjoin-

and within eighteen inches of the 
grave of the late illustrious W. Pitt.
