The Royal Funeral
By six o'clock on Saturday morning, though it continued quite dark, there was the greatest activity in Piccadily, as well as in the neighbourhood of St.James's Palace. Parties were seen coming from all directions, proceeding towards Hyde Park-corner, to get on towards the Western Road, thus to have a view of the concluding honours paid to the late illustrious and revered
Duke of York. At the same hour, at the end of Pall Mall, and along St.James's-street, incredible numbers of persons had assembled; and all the houses in St.James's-street were filled with lights, and all the houses had temporary arrangements for the extra accommodation of company. The different balconies, to guard against accident from pressure, were supported by timbers from the pavement, and many of them were covered in front with black cloth. By half-past six o'clock the Guard of Lancers, to whom was allotted the duty of preserving regularity, marched into the area in front of St.James's; they were then divided into parties, and portions of them ranged up St.James's-street and in Piccadily, to preserve order. Few persons, except those going to the Palace, were allowed to assemble much nearer to the Palace entrance than the pavements of St.James's-street, Pall-Mall, and the wall of Marlborough House.
At half-past seven, the first coach which was to form part of the procession arrived - it was the private carriage of the late
Duke of York, drawn by six dark grey horses, with postillions, coachman, and three footmen behind it, in the new Court livery. Soon afterwards the hearse arrived, drawn by eight black horses. Large velvet banners drooped from the side of each horse, the centres consisting of richly emblazoned escutcheons illustrative of the late Duke's titles and honours.
A few minutes before eight o'clock, the hearse having been drawn into the further corner of the flag-yard within the Palace, the coffin was lowered, and conveyed into it with remarkable promptitude; the troops then presented arms in the reverse way, and the flag in the centre of the court was lowered. After this, for a few moments, all was literally "as still as death;" all the windows of the Palace were shut; and the hearse door being soon closed, the signal was given that all was ready. Most parts of the procession were previously formed in St.James's Park; so that the troops, coaches, &c., fell into the stations arranged for them, previously to or following the hearse.
The procession a few minutes before eight o'clock began to move on. The Lancers continued ranged on either side of the street, and moved on with the procession, thus keeping the whole of the road clear.
The
Duke of York's carriage, the only one that had passed into the yard connected with the procession, except the hearse, made a halt on approaching the gateway: and several military officers in the area,
Sir H.Vivian (Commander),
Colonel Lygon,
Lord Uxbridge, &c., who had drawn up in a line, presented arms in reversed order as the carriage approached. In this carriage were the Ducal Coronet, and the Baton of the late Commander-in-Chief, carried by officers of the Herald's College. The hearse followed, and as they proceeded along, all the troops presented arms in the reversed order, the Lancers lowered their lances and banners. An immense number of attendants dressed in black walked on either side of the hearse and of the horses. Eight horsemen in deep black, with funeral truncheons; two heralds on horseback, and a troop of about fifty Life Guards, who had passed out of the Park, with swords reversed, under the right arms, followed.
The first of the Royal Carriages, attending to form part of the funeral procession , next joined the line, having come out of the Park; it was his Majesty's town carriage, drawn by six horses, and behind it four footmen. On each side of the King's carriage, several mourners with funeral truncheons walked; and mourners walked on either side of the horses, some of them keeping hold of the horses heads. The
Duke of Clarence's carriage followed, succeeded by those of the
Duke of Sussex, the
Princess Sophia, the
Duke of Gloucester, and the
Duchess of Kent. They were drawn by six horses each, and behind each were three footmen. The carriage of
Prince Leopold of Saxe Cobourg followed, drawn by six bay horses, and behind it four footmen. On either side of these several coaches, walked mourners with funeral truncheons. Twenty mourners on horseback came next, with large silk scarfs, and bearing funeral wands. They were followed by another company of the Life Guards, whose officers had black ornaments. The troops carried the swords under the right arms. Some officers and trumpeters succeeded - they being flanked by a small party of Lancers, who closed the funeral procession.
The windows, balconies, and temporary scaffoldings in front of the houses in St.James's-street, and Pall-mall, were crowded with ladies dressed in the deepest and most elegant mourning.
No other carriages but those of the royal family were allowed to form any part of the funeral procession. This materially limited its extent, while it more distinctly preserved the simply military character, which is understood to have been the expressed wish of his Majesty; and the absence of all musical performance, while the procession was on the road, preserved the stillness of the scene. All the shops in the neighbourhood were, of course, shut up, and continued so during the day.
At 25 minutes past eight o'clock the rear of the procession entered Piccadilly, which street was lined at both sides by the 17th Lancers. The anxiety of the public to get a view of the procession was intense: there was scarcely a lamp-post, or any other station in Piccadilly, however perilous, from which a view of the procession could be had, that had not an occupant. The rear of the procession passed St.George's Hospital, Hyde-Park Corner, at nine o'clock. As far as Brentford, carriages, hackney coaches, waggons, and carts of every description occupied the road on either side. The shop windows were everywhere closed and the fronts of many houses displayed festoons of black cloth.
Such was the ardour of the mulitude which accompanied the funeral, that when the horsemen and carriages were put to a slow trot, at which pace they passed through Kensington and Hammersmith, the pedestrians kept up with them by running. After reaching Turnham Green, a foot pace was adopted, and maintained for the rest of the journey. Shortly after the clock struck twelve, they had reached Hounslow, and by one o'clock, Cranford Bridge. The streets of London appeared absolutely divested throughout the morning, whilst the returning current of its inhabitants through Knightsbridge and Piccadilly continued without intermission to a late hour of the night.
At Cranford Bridge, relays of horses and of the Life Guards were in waiting, and a Field Officer's guard, which was stationed there as the relief, took the posts of the men who had marched from London, and the latter fell into the rear. In this way they proceeded; and about a mile beyond Colnbrook, the soldiers lighted their flambeaux. The procession then advanced towards Datchet. On passing the bridge, the walls of the Great Park were crowded with spectators, and immense numbers of people were congregated on the road. The procession reached Frogmore a little before eight o'clock, where it was joined by the Royal cortege, consisting of six State carriages, and a large number of Royal servants on full mourning, each bearing a flambeau.
Here the Chief Mourner, his Royal Highness the
Duke of Clarence, joined the procession, together with the
Dukes of Sussex and
Gloucester. The procession entered the Court-yard of St.George's Chapel at twenty minutes to nine o'clock, the troops (in double file) all along the line presenting reversed arms. The Heralds had marshalled within the aisles and nave, the official personages connected with his Majesty's Household. The appearance of the Chapel was strikingly impressive. In the south aisle, where the procession entered, a picked body of veteran Grenadiers were stationed; the nave of the Chapel was lined with the dismounted Blues, every third man of whom bore a lighted flambeau. The interior was partially covered with black cloth. At ten minutes before none, the procession arrived at the Chapel door, and advanced into the Chapel, where the body was placed on a car, and the coronet and baton, on cushions, were put on the coffin. The Burial Service was then commenced; the vocal parts were sung by eight of the Chapel Royal choristers, six of the Chapel Royal boys, ten of the Windsor Chapel choristers, and ten of their boys. As the procession moved down the south side, the three opening parts of the Burial Service - "I am the resurrection and the life;" - "I know that my Redeemer liveth;" and "We brought nothing into the world," were chaunted by the choristers till the whole procession entered the choir.
The body having been placed on the platform ascending to the Royal Vault, his Royal Highness the
Duke of Clarence took his seat in a chair at the head of the coffin (the foot being towards the altar); the
Duke of Sussex was seated on his right, and the
Duke of Gloucester on his left. The venerable
Earl Harcourt, who bore the baton of his late Royal Highness, stood at the foot of the coffin opposite the chief mourner. The
Dukes of Wellington,
Northumberland,
Newcastle,
Beaufort,
Dorset, and
Rutland, who were pall bearers, were on the sides of the coffin. The Archbishops and Bishops took their seats in the stalls nearest the east end; - the Bishops present were those of Llandaff, Salisbury, Exeter, and Winchester. The remaining stalls were occupied by his Majesty's Ministers and other distinguished personages. A vast number of Peers, Privy Councillors, and private friends of his late Royal Highness, followed the body into the choir. The Service then commenced; and after the lesson, Kent's beautiful Anthem, "Hear my prayer, O God !"expressly selected by his Majesty, was exquisitely sung. After the service, as the body was being lowered into the vault, Handel's Funeral Anthem, composed on the death of Queen Caroline (Consort to George II.), "When the ear heard him, then it blessed him," was performed in a style of excellence rarely equalled. The principal choisters were.
Messrs. W.Knyvett,
Sale,
Evans,
Hawes,
Neild, and
Salmon, of the Chapel Royal, and
Messrs. Francis,
Miller,
Hobbs, sen. and jun. of the Windsor Choir.
The
Duke of Clarence sustained himself with great firmness. The
Duke of Sussex appeared to feel the loss of his deceased Royal Brother with poignant grief. The
Dukes of Rutland and
Wellington were also observed to be deeply affected. There were present among his Majesty's Ministers and Officers, the Lord Chancellor,
Mr.Canning,
Mr.Peel,
Earl of Westmoreland,
Mr.Wynn, the Right.Hon the Speaker of the House of Commons, and other distinguished characters.
After the usual forms of breaking the Baton, &c., were gone through, the Chief Mourner and the rest of the most distinguished personages slowly retired.
Weymouth, Jan. 26.
On Saturday last , being the day appointed for the funeral of his Royal Highness the
Duke of York, all the shops in this town were closed, and the Church bell tolled til near midnight. In the Church of Wyke Regis divine service was performed on the mournful occasion; the prayers with appropriate psalms and lessons were read by the
Rev.J.Dupre, D.D., and the sermon preached by the
Rev.J.Horsford, A.B. The Church was filled with the largest congregation ever known; and such was the impression produced by this excellent sermon, that numerous applications have been made for the publication of it.
On the following day (Sunday) the worshipful the Mayor (
James Willis Weston, Esq), the Aldermen, and Corporation, walked in procession to Melcombe Regis Church, where an appropriate sermon was delivered by the
Rev.Willoughby Brassey, from Hebrews 9v, 27c. The scarlet robes of the chief magistrate, and principal bailiff, were covered with black scarfs; they were preceded by the town serjeants and peace officers bearing their maces and staves covered with black crape, each officer having been presented by the Mayor with gloves to correspond . The pulpit and reading desk, communion table, and organ, the Corporation pew, and the galleries, were dressed in black cloth, all which, together with the congregation in deep mourning, produced a most solemn effect. Divine service was performed in the evening by the
Rev.H.Poole, who also preached a most excellent sermon on the occasion.
We were pleased at remarking, that in the Chapels of the Dissenters the same proofs of respect and sorrow were shewn, and in the evening impressive sermons were delivered by their respective Ministers on the deplored event.
The inhabitants of the island of Portsea are preparing an address of condolence to our most gracious Sovereign.

Westbury has not been less marked for its tributes of respect and loyalty, on the lamented death of his Royal Highness the
Duke of York, than any other of the neighbouring towns. The Church has been hung with black cloth; on the day of the funeral most of the shops were partially closed; the bell tolled from 6 in the morning till 11 at night, when a muffled peal struck out, and continued ringing till 12, producing a very solemn effect. And on Sunday the 21st instant, appropriate references were made, from the pulpit, to the important public services, and distinguished private virtues, of the illustrious deceased personage, which were listened to with deep sympathy.

Bridport, Jan 18.- Our new little theatre was last night crowded to excess by all the beauty and fashion of the town and neighbourhood, to witness that admired and chaste actor,
Mr.Herbert Lee, of provincial celebrity, in the arduous character of Glos'ter, in Shakespeare's tragedy of Richard the Third. The performance of Kean would we think find a powerful competitor in

A case of assault, of a very aggravated description, was heard on Thursday last before our Mayor and Magistrates at the Council House.
James Hickson, currier, of this city (a prisoner for debt in Fisherton gaol) was brought up on a charge of having assaulted and dangerously wounded
Mr.James Tewksbury (a Sheriff's officer), and his servant
Wm.Zillwood. It appeared that on Tuesday the 26th of December last, about ten o'clock in the morning,
Mr.Tewksbury and
Zillwood went to
Hickson's house in New-street, and served him with a writ of arrest; but in order to give him an opportunity to settle the business, and thereby avoid going to prison,
Mr.Tewksbury left him for two hours in charge of
Zillwood. On his return, however, nothing had been done to satisfy the debt for which he was arrested, and
Hickson (who is a very powerful man) appeared determined to resist being taken to prison.
Zillwood, on receiving a hint from his master, stepped out to procure assistance, and in his absence
Hickson struck
Mr.Tewkesbury with a fire shovel, and a violent scuffle ensued between them;
Zillwood soon returned with assistance, when
Hickson immediately attacked him, and at this instant it was perceived by the by-standers that
Mr.Tewkesbury's face was cut and bleeding;
Zillwood was, after a short struggle, overpowered and thrown down by
Hickson, who had given him several severe cuts with a knife in the face and on the side of the head. At this instant, a young man named
Matthews tripped
Hickson up, and knelt upon him whilst the knife was taken from his hand. He then surrendered, and was removed to Fisherton gaol. The knife with which
Hickson inflicted the wounds, and which he drew unperceived on
Mr.Tewkesbury, was produced before the Magistrates; it was a pocket clasp knife, the blade about three inches long.
Hickson was committed to take his trial for assault at the ensuing assizes for the county.

The prosecutor stated that the defendant was his next door neighbour, and, in the course of business, contracted a debt with him for which he frequently applied, but to no purpose. On December 24 he entered the bakehouse, where the defendant accosted him with "d--n your eyes, will you take any gin ?" and immediately forced him into the oven, which was then in its proper heat for baking. Witness made all the resistance he could, but was actually placed half way into the oven, and his body was burnt in a dreadful manner. His cap was burnt completely from his head, and his shirt sleeves were burnt to a cinder. The prosecutors servant corroborated his statement. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Court sentenced him to pay a fine of £25 to the King, and to enter into his own recognizance in the sum of £50, and two sureties in the sum of £25 each, to keep the peace towards all his Majesty's subjects, especially the prosecutor, for two years.
