The remains of her majesty were conveyed to Harwich, whence, in compliance with her own especial request, they were taken to Brunswick, for interment. The proces sion set out from Brandenburghhouse early on the morning of the 14th August, in the following order : { PROCESSION. Twelve horse soldiers (blues) two and two. Mourning coach and six, containing the servants of 2nd carriage. Mourning coach and six, containing Mr. Wilde's 3rd carriage.

It was an imperial crown which was carried upon the cushion. Two of her majesty's state servants behind the carriages. Squadron of horse, two and two, attended by their commanding officer.

The committees of Hammersmith and London, two and two. We shall not take upon ourselves the record of the disgraceful outrages by which the course of the cavalcade was so frequently impeded, before it left the vicinity of London. Suffice it to mention that, at Cumberland-gate the route of the procession was interrupted by the populace, who were extremely exasperated at the instructions issued by government for it to pass down the Edgwareroad and through Islington, instead of through the city, where vast crowds had assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to her majesty's memory. At the bottom of Oxford-street, the soldiers accompanying the funeral, were attacked by the mob in the most ferocious manner. Several were unhorsed by brickbats and missiles of every description, which were constantly showered upon shem; many were severely wounded, and, after bearing with exemplary patience and fortitude these repeated assaults, (the riot-act having been read), the order was given to fire. The first discharge of carbines was over the heads of the people; but this not having the desired effect, it was found necessary to fire amongst the crowd; when one man was killed, and another mortally wounded. Barricades had been thrown across the road in such a manner as to render the transit of the procession, by its destined route, impossible. The authorities conducting it, therefore, abandoned their original intention, and made a detour into the strand, the strand, whence they proceeded through the city and Whitechapel to Rumford, and finally to Harwich, where they arrived at half past eleven o'clock on the Thursday. majesty on her ascending the man of war that brought her to England.* ་ On the evening of the 24th, her majesty's remains reached Brunswick, and (as it had been previously arranged) were immediately carried to the place of interment. The horses were then removed from the hearse, and the coffin was deposited in a magnificent open car, while about a hundred Brunswickers, well dressed, and having all the appearance of the respectable classes of society, placed themselves in front in the most regular and tranquil order. The whole way from the outer to the inner barrier, a space of little less than a mile in length, and about the breadth of Blackfriar's-road, was lined with a dense mass of people, not merely from Brunswick, but from the neighbouring towns and villages: some families had followed the funeral cortége from Celle, and others even from Hamburgh. The front lines of this immense assemblage carried torches; and from the double rows of willows on each side of the road, were suspended lamps of various colours, green, red, and yellow. In the distance were seen the illuminated houses of Brunswick, adding by the fantastic variety of their architecture to the picturesque beauty of the scene, and by their undecayed antiquity, reminding man of the nothingness of his existence, in comparison even with the durability of the commonest works of his own hands. slowly towards the town, and as The procession moved the clock struck twelve reached the inner barrier. Here the mourners descended from the carriages, and the whole cortége proceeded on foot, with the exception of sir George Nayler, who kept his state in the first carriage. From the entrance of the town to the cathedral church the distance is about a mile, and the slow pace at which the procession moved, together with the various streets through which it passed, gave the whole population an opportunity of witnessing the grand spectacle without much inconvenience, and with scarcely any danger. To the people, however, was due the praise of the good order that prevailed. The only arrangement made by the authorities-so great and so just was their confidence in the good disposition of the people-was an escort of about twenty constables. The Brunswick cavalry, that, to the amount of about 200, accompanied the procession, marched slowly by the sides, as state attendants, but took no part in directing the movements of the immense multitude about them, and guided their well-managed chargers through a countless crowd, in narrow streets, without alarming The following was the arrangement for the different frigates which were to carry her late majesty's household to Cuxhaven :-Glasgow frigate, 50 guns, captain Doyle, having on board the royal corpse, lord and lady Hood, lady Hamilton, Mr. Austin, Dr. and Mrs. Lushington, Mr. and Mrs. Wilde.--Wye, 28 guns, captain Fisher, his wife and family.-Tyne, 28 guns, captain White, Chevalier Vassali, captain Hesse, and Mr. Wilson. Garnet, 18 guns, rev. Mr. Wood on board.-Rosario, 10 guns, captain Simpson, lieutenant Hownam.-Alderman Wood sailed in one of the regular packets for Cuxhaven, alarming, much less hurting, a single individual. Outside the barriers, where the space was very extensive, women as well as men were seen in all parts of the assemblage; but in the streets of Brunswick not a woman was to be seen. The men alone were in the streets, the women were at the windows of the houses; and there was not a house in any street through which the procession passed which had not every window crowded with spectators of the female sex, all dressed in black, and all expressing, by their anxious attention, the deep interest which they took in the solemn ceremony passing before them. In this manner the procession moved on to the church, the glare of a thousand torches making every part of it visible to the multitude. At the church door the minister and municipality received the body: the coffin was lifted from the car, and carried by sixteen serjeants of the Brunswick cavalry, while sixteen majors bore the pall. The appearance of the church was solemn and imposing. Though a building of no striking beauty when seen by day-light, its lofty columns and long aisles hung with black, had by night an appearance of melancholy grandeur. Owing to orders, no service, not even a funeral chaunt, was to be performed. As the queen had died abroad, it was to be considered that these rites had been already performed, and that the ceremony at Brunswick was merely depositing the body of the deceased in the family vault; a ceremony which was always performed without funeral service, as in the case of the duke of Brunswick, the father of the late queen. As the corpse passed along the aisle into the place of sepulture, a hundred young ladies of the first families in Brunswick, dressed in white, stood on each side, and scattered flowers before it. In a few seconds the coffin and the mourners had all arrived in the family vault of the illustrious house of Brunswick. The entire space is very large, and already contains fifty-seven coffins of different branches of that ancient family. A portion, about seven yard's square, was separated from the rest by hangings of black cloth, and was illuminated with wax lights. In the middle of this section stood a platform, raised about two feet from the ground: on one side stood the coffin of the gallant father of the queen, at the foot was the coffin of her gallant brother; both heroes slain in battle when fighting against the tyranny of Buonaparte; and here, in this appropriate spot, were deposited the remains of Caroline of Brunswick. When the mourners were all arranged in the vault, the minister of the cathedral church stood at the head of the coffin, and uttered a prayer in the German language. The funeral was over about two o'clock, September. The honourable Mrs. Ryder, lady of the right honourable Richard Ryder, brother to the earl of Harrowby. AtClapham, alderman Rothwell.
