There were, however, thousands of peopis who could wot get within the walls, policemen being stationed at the entrance to prevent toe ate crowd; and these, for the most part, remained standing im the atreots in the vicinity, exposed to the broiling rays ofthe nun, Among them, the only and natural topic of conversation was the tragical fate of those at whose odeequies they came to acsiat, and the culpable, nay, perbaps indictadie remisene: of those whose duty it was to bave tar effectual meacurea to prevent the possibility of such an, occurrence ‘The interior of the church was filled with a sympa- thizing congregation of Yadies, many of them dreseed inthe babiliments of woe, and others-in pure white. The galleries were simply draped with mourning, looped up at intervals with white edged rovettos. The reading stend, saoctuary railing, &c, were also draped.
