A Magnificent public juneral followed his remains to St. Paul's, where they were interred on the 18th of November in the same year. The preparations for this ceremomal were commenced almost im- mediately after mis decease, engaging the attention of Varlament, the Crown and the multitude. Mr. Disraeli delivered a brilliant Oration in eulogy of mis character in the House ef Commons; but much amusement, even in the moment of national sorrow, was caused by the almost immediate discovery of tne fact that its most brilliant points, to the extent of fifty lines of the press report, were stolen bodily, word for ‘Word, from an oration which had been delivered by M. Thiers, now President of the French repubiic, ever the remains of Marshal Gouvion St. Cyr, and were translated and republished in the London Morning Chronicle of July 1, 1848. ‘THE FUNERAL, ‘The lying in state naving been terminated, most imvense excitement prevailed in London with respect to tne funeral.

Victoria Opening the Koyal Exchange. In 1844 Queen Victoria went in state to open the new Royal Exchange; but since then, with one ex- ception, that of a ball given by the corporation, she has never entered the city of London im what is known as full state.

In the butldiag were bied the Duke of Wellington, Lord Jono Rut Sir James Graham and Sir Robert Peel and several olner promiaent guests.

Early State Visits to St. Paul's. Going back as far as the end of the fourteenth centary we find Henry IV, went to St. Paul’s in 1399 and offered prayer on his accession to the throne, as did also Henry VI. on his accession, ‘The accession of Henry VII, may be sata to have terminated the Wars of the Roses, although the reign of Henry was from time to time disturoed by the pretensions of Yorkist impostors, The last of these was Lambert Simnel, who was put forward as the right(ul heir to the crown. His followers were defeated at the battle of Strode, and Simnel, who Was taken prisoner, made a scullion in the King’s kitchen, For this victory Henry went on two suc- cessive days in solemn procession to St, Paui’s. On the first day, we are told, a ‘le Deum” was sung, and on the second a sermon preached at St. Paul’s cross, On Sunday, May 21, 1514, Henry VIII. went thither in marvellous state to receive the sword and cap sent to him by the Pope, On that occasion the Whole immeatate neighborhood was crowded with Spectators, estimated at 30,000, QUEEN BLIZABETH—THE SPANISH ARMADA.

Tae people had previovsly listened to a sermon at the cross in relation to the event. The 24th November was a grand occasion, On that day Queen Elizapetn went in great splendor to the cathedral, seated in a Kind of triumphal chariot, with four pillars supporting & canopy and an im- perial crown. Two others supported a hon anda dragon in front of the carriage, with the arms of England. This vehicle was drawn by two white horses, The Queen was received at the cathedral door by the Bishop of London, the dean and fifty otner clergymen, habited in superb copes. At the eutrance Her Majesty kneeled and pronounced # prayer. She then proceeded to her seat under a canopy in the choir, when the Litany was chanted, Alter that the Queen went to a closet prepared for Uhe occasion in the Lorth wall of the churen, and, “shame to our effeminacy,” says the narrator, here she remained exposed to the wintry blasts of November during the space of ume the Bishop of Salisbury occupied in delivering the sermon,’ Queen Elizabeth, on another occasion, January, 1571, entered the city in state to open the Exchange. By the sound of trumpets her neraid named it the Royal Excaange. ‘Lis buildiug Was twice destroyed by fire, and the splendid structure now existing Was opened by Queen Victoria in ls4t NATIONAL THANKSGIVINGS IN THE REIGN OF QUEEN ANNE. There were frequent State processions and public thankagivings in St, Panl’s during the reign of Queen Anne. Year alter year she went in solemn procession to the cathedral to commemorate some advanlage gaived ou land or sea, The 12th of No- vember, i702, when sie proceeded in state, accom- panied by the House of Cominons aud great oficers of State, to return thanks for Mariborough’s suc- cesses in the Low Countries and for the destruction ot che Spanish fleet in the port of Vigo by the Duke of urmond and Sir George Rooke, was an august ceremony of the kind, ‘The Council declared the cathedral for that day to be the Queen’s chapel royal; the seats were to be disposed of and all the arrangements to be madé by the Lord Chamber- lain, ‘The muitary afd civic escort was grand and imposing. The Queen’s throue, as in the then House of Loras, was about three leet higher than the floor of tne ghoir, covered with a Persian carpet and surmounted by @ canopy fifteen feet high. ‘Yhere was, according tothe proclamation, an #m chair on the throne with a gold stool before 1t, aad @ aesk for the book covered with crimson velvet, richly embroidered and trimmed with gold, wieh a cushion of the same. Some distance venind were stools for the Countess Of Marlborough, the Groom of the Stole, the Countess of Sunderland, the Lady stood the Vice Chamberiain, with other oficers of State. The Queen was met by the peers and mem- bers of the Minisiry and conducted along the nave to her throne. She kneit at the fold stool, and after a short “ejac- ulation” rose and seated hersell. The “fe Deum” was sung witi vocal ana instra- Mental accompaniment, ‘The sermon was preaciea by Sir Jonathan Trelawney, Bishop of Lxeier, from Joshua vii, %, “But as ior you, no man hath veen abie to stand before you this day.” ‘The Queen led the way back. The Tower gans, those on the river and those in St. James’ Park were fired three times; once as the Queen lett St. James’ Patace, the second time when the ‘fe Deum’ was chanted, and, lastly, when Her Majesty returned to the royal residence.

The Kimg had respect for the feelings of the Pope, and, moved by this excellent senument, endeav- ored to avold affixing to the affair any show of triumph over the Ponti. He was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the Roman people.’ The ancient city was decorated with flags ana household banners. The streets were kept by sol- diers of the national guard. Patriotic ladies and brave men Were out in thousands; but the episcopal Tepresentatives of the vast hierarchy of the Roman Catnolic Church kept within doors. The King acknowledged the leaity of nis subjects gracefuily, but ina rather hurried manner, He passed rapidly to the Quirinal Palace.

CHARACTER OF GEORGE 111 Buckle, in ie “History ol Civillzavion in Eng- lana,’’ describes the cnaracier of George IIL, about whose temporary recovery all this ceremony took Place, He staves he was aespotic and superstitious, Every iiberai sentiment, everytuing approacuing to | relorm—nay,even the mere mentioa of inquiry—was | an apomination in tne eyes Of George 1l.—a nar- row and ignorant prince.

When the funeral train which left the New Haven Railroad depot at a quarter past twelve o'clock yes- teraay, bearing the remains of Le Grand Lockwood, stopped, as Is the custom, betore crossing the bri¢ge at Harlem, a young lady, who had been waiting ‘near the “bridge, was seen step. ping on board.
