House, St. James's, at half past seven o'clock on Thursday evening, escorted by a detachment of the Ninth Lancers, in the following order. The carriages of the Datchess of Kent, the Princess Sophia, the Dutchess of Gloucester. and the Queen Dowager. Then came the hearse, drawn by eight horses, decorated with escutcheons of her late Royal High- ness's arms. Next a mourning-coach, drawn by six horses, in which were Ladv Mary Pelham and Miss Wynward ; a mourning-coach, drawn by 'four horses, in which were two gentlemen of the Lord Cham- berlain's department ; a mourning-coach, drawn by four horses, in which were the pasres and the dressers of her late Royal Highness. Sir William Martins, of the Lord Chamberlain's department, and the Reverend J. R, Woad, Chat lain to the Queen Dowager, attended at Clarence House during the inoernful ceremony. At a quarter to slain o'clock, the procession moved along the carriage- mall of Sr. James's Park, past Buckingham Palace, and up Constitution Hill, followed by an immense number of persons. On reaching the top of Constitution Hill, at Hyde Park Corner, it did not pass under the triumphal areb. but out of the side-gate on the east side of the arch- way. The road was nearly impassable; the whole length on the Hyde Park side being filled with vehicles of every description, four or five deep. At Knightsbridge, most of' the shops were closed, and every demonstration of respect was exhibited by the inhabitants. At Ken- sington, the Royal carriages filed off from the procession, and turned up the avenue to Kensington Palace; the hearse and mourning. coaches, with the attendants and escort of Lancers, proceeding along the High Street, until opposite the church, when a slight halt took ;lace ; after which they proceeded on their route to Frogmore at a quicker pace. At Hantineramith, Turnham Green, Brentford, and in fact all along the road, the sides were lined with people ; but the greatest order was every e. here preserved by the Police. The procession was expected to reach Frogmen: beo.veen eleven and twelve o'clock.

The be ly lay in state yesterday, at Frog.more, from eleven till four o'cloek.

The following is the official programme of the funeral ceremonies-

The chief mourner will sit at the head of the corpse ; the supporters on each side; and the supporters of the pall near the body; the Lord Chamberlain at the feet of the corpse."

The funeral procession left Frogmore between seven and eigin o'clock yesterday evening, by torchlight ; and arrived at St. Georges Chapel at a quarter before nine. The procession was attended by a considerable number of persons. The weather was favourable ; and the night being dark, the effect of the flambeaux flashing on the uniforms and glittering arms of the soldiers was singularly picturesque.

At the entrance to St. Georee's Chapel, the Dean, the Honourable H. L. Hobart, D.D., and Prebendaries, attended by the Choir, received the body ; and the procession, having previously been formed, moved down the south aisle and up the nave, into the choir, in the order pre- scribed in the official programme.

As the procession moved, the service commenced by the Choir singing, " I am the resurrection and the life." "When the Frocession had entered the choir, the doors communicating with the nave were closed, and only a very few persons were admitted who hal special tickets from the Lord Chamberlain. The service was read by the Dean of Windsor. The Knights of the Garter who were present occupied their several stalls.

The sentences sung of the burial-service were the composition of Dr, Croft and II. Purcell. Dr. Elvey presided at the organ. When the time came for lowering the coffin, it was let down into the entrance to the passage to the Royal vault. The pall was taken off and the coronet and cushion were: replaced on the coffin. The service was then con- cluded ; and the Garter King of Arms proclaimed the style and Mies of the deceased Princess.

The Chief Mourner was the Dutchess of Bedford ; her train was borne by Lady Wheatley. The supporters of time Chief' Mourner were the Countess of Charlemont and the Countess of Sandwich. The ladies and gentlemen invited to join the procession were—Marchioness Corn- wallis, Lady Agnes Buller, Lady Charles Somerset, Lady Caroline Legge, Lady Charlotte Dundss ; Lord Hill, Lord Bloomfield, Lord Cat- teret, Baron Munchausen, Sir Brook Taylor, Sir Henry Wheatley, Sir William Fremantle, Sir Henry Campbell, Sir Frederick Watson, Sir Joseph Wheatley, Dean of' Hereford, Reverend J. R. Wood, Lieu- tenant Frederick Stephenson, Colenel Aryse, Sir Charles Thornton, and Colonel Wynyard. The Duke of Sussex was prevented front attending the funeral by illness,

In consequence of the dimensions of the outer coffin in which the* mains of' the Princess have been placed, it has been foulid necessary to increase the depth of the recess in the Royal vault for the reception of the coffin ; which is two feet No: incites in height, two fiiet eleven inches wide across the shoulders, and seven feet in length. The catacombs in the Royal vault are only two feet three inches in height—one. inch too low to admit the coffin. This was not discovered 1111111 1Vechienlaa morning ; and stone-masons were engaged during the (las iii reducing the height of then stone slab it port which the coffin is to be placed, Oi to admit it within the recess.
