FUNERAL OF TIIE LATE KING.

prcparations for exhibiting the remains of the late King " in state," were completed yesterday morning ; the workmen having been employed all Thursday night. At about half-past nine, carriages ar- rived at Windsor from all quarters ; and the streets leading to the gate of the Castle at which the public were to be admitted were much crowded. Soon after ten o'clock, the gates of the Castle were opened, and the public admitted to see the lying in state. They passed along the different avenues to the Waterloo Chamber ; where the coffin con- taining the Royal remains was placed upon a platform or elevation at one end of the apartment. It was guarded by Lord Lilford, Lord Templemore, and Lord Byron, three of his late .Majesty's Lords of the Bedchamber, Colonel Armstrong and Sir James Reynett, two of his late Majesty's Grooms of the Bedchamber, by the Officers at Arms, the Gentlemen Ushers, six of the Honourable band of Gentlemen-at- Arms, and eight of the Yeomen of the Guard. The coffin was covered with a splendid crimson pall, on which were emblazoned the escocheons of the Royal arms, with the Imperial crown of the United Kingdom, and the Royal crown of Hanover, under a purple cloth canopy. Under this canopy were also suspended the Royal standard, the Union banner, and the banners of St. George, Scotland, Ireland, Hanover, and Brunswick. They were supported by the Gentlemen- at- Arms, and were suspended on each side of the Royal body. The public having passed through the room where the mortal remains of the late Sovereign were deposited, passed out of the Waterloo Chamber by another door and through another part of the Castle, and retired by the St. George's Gate. As each portion of the company retired, its place was immediately supplied by fresh visiters. The utmost decorum prevailed, notwithstanding admission was afforded indiscriminately to all who presented themselves to claim it. The Castle was closed against visiters at four o'clock yesterday; to-day there will be no ad- mission after three.

At nine o'clock to-night, the funeral ceremonies will commence. The procession having been previously formed in St. George's Hall, will move through the State apartments, and down the great staircase, and thence to St. George's Chapel, in the following order— Trumpets am, Kettle Drums, and Drums and Fifes of the Foot Guards.
