DEPARIURE OF LORD RAGLAN'S REMAINS.

Before Sbdastafol, July 3. -The commencement of the ceremony of paying the last honours to the mortal remains of the late Com-mander-in-Chief took place in the evening, and, of coime, excited more than ordinary interest The arrangements were descriled in the General Order. As early as 12 o'clock batteries of artillery were to be seen parading, and an hour afterwards the infantry, which were to ptrform pait of the ceremony, were proceeding to head-quarters, and at half-past three, p.m., all were assembled, and the .procession was completed. The mass of uniforms of every description — Fiench, Sardinians, Turks, and our own— was very brilliant. At 4. p.m., the coffin was brought out of .the hoiue, and a salute nf 19 Rims fired as the procession moved forward. A iquadron of Lancers led the way, followed ly Rome French Gendarmerie; then a battery of French Artillery, followed by a largo body of 1 000 or 1,500 French Cuirassiers ; then our own Horse Artiileiy immediately preceded the carriage which carried the coffin, and was suppotted by the i Hied commanders— Gerurals Pelis-sier and La Marmora, Omar Pacha, and General Simpson, ft appeared most strange to see Mussulmen taking part in a Christian ceremony, or what was, at all events, the commencement of one, although others than the actual companions in arms of the deceased will attend the hbt rites. The procession was closed by general officers and their staff's, and an efficer from fach regiment in the Crimea. In consequence of the crray being under arms at the time of the ceremony, the number of spectators was small, and confined to the few civilians from Balaclava and- others connected with the shipping. Three infantry bands were brigaded, and played the "Dead March in Saul" as the procession marched off, and bands were stationed at intervals along the line during the entire route. The Royd Sappers and Miners were the first body of men who lined tbe road; next came the Guards, and then all the regiments of our army in succession, until we reached the Fiench head-quarters. At this point the greater number of our cavalry were assembled, and the bands of the 10th Hussars and 12th Lancers were brigaded. A bailery of the French Artillery tired a salute as the cortege approached, and thia compliment was repeated at many points afterwards. The road was now occupied by French troops with their fine hands, at interval?, in the same manner ai by our own at tbe commencement— the only difference observable being that the French stood with their arms preeented instead of reversed, as is the custom with us, and their music was of a different character. Near the French headquarters was aUo drawn up a fine body of Sardinian Lancers. It was approaching Bumet when we arrived at Kazotch Bay, and lhi» was certainly the most picturecque part of the scene. The weather throughout had been most delightful, a nice breeze rendering the atmosphere comparatively cool. The dust caused by the tramp of so many horses had been very disagreeable; but on approaching the hay we found it so thickly studded with shipping, with yards crowed, that it looked like a London dock, and the whole tcrne teemed as if changed by magic, and that the remains of the departed great wereßlrrndy received in his native country. The Royal Marines, who lined the approach to the pier nf erobtiltalion, wearing their white undress jackets, presented a moat soldier-like and ne&t appearance, and contrasted vividly with our own dusty uniform*. At the pier were drawn up Borne of ihe nollest specimens of the British tar, in the cleanefit thesm, with their heads uncovered. The naval authorities here rrccive-l tho hotly of the hero of Alma and Inkerman from his brothers in arm*, and ofttr watching in silence, or rather during the sslute of another 19 guns, thundered hy a battery of our Horse Artillery, the coffin was lowered into a boat and conveyed to a man-of-war, over which it. had to be passed, m order that it might be cgain lowered into the small Caradoc. when the roonrners separated, and thoughtfully returned to their camps in front.
