FUNERAL OF KING VICTOR EMMANUEL. The funeral convoy of the late King of Italy left the Quirinal at ten o'clock on the 17th. The route followed was by the Quattre Fontane, Piazza Bar berini, Via Tritone, Due Macelli, Piazza Spagna, Via Babuino, Piazza del: Pepolo, and the Corso, to the Piazza Sciarra, Via Lata, Collegio Romano, Pie di Marmo, Piazza Minerva, Via Minerva, and the Pantheon. The sky was overcast and the weather damp and chilly, but there was no rain. Many people who came by the late train on the previous night found no lodg- ings and had to await morning in the streets. At early dawn masses of the population were pouring down from all the streets towards the centre, and ranging themselves along the line of the procession. The people were admirably behaved, their look and bearing betokening great earnestness. There were about 160,000 strangers, and 30,000 troops of all arms lined., the whole route of the procession.

The Iron Crown of Italy from Monza Cathedral was borne on a velvet cushion. The King's war-horse was in mourning trappings. Municipalities, deputations, Trades Unions, Cavalry, and an immense mass of people constituted the procession, which lasted nearly two hours. The city was all hung with mourning flags and draperies. The Pantheon was ornamented with stately elegance inside and out. In the centre, under the skylights roofed with glass and iron, was the grand scaffold, with twenty-four candelabra and burning tapers on four great altars, and four colossal lions made from as many cannon trophies, presented by the Due Roche- foucault to the Pope.

King I Humbert then swore fidelity to the Consti- tution, and had barely finished the last words or tne oath when the cheering was renewed. He afterwards signed three records of the act, which will be prqserved in the State archives. Each member of both Houses in turn took the oath, and then his Majes y made a short speech, in which he said he had been taught by his father that the surest safeguard against eyery danger was the religious observance of free institutions. That was the creed of his House, and it would be his strength. He coveted no higher ofhisfather" haVe ifc"8aid of him' "He was worthj
