rrounded by scenery no
where surpassed for romantic beauty. On the bodies being
removed from the hearse and deposited in the vault, the guard
of honor presented arms, whilst the artillery, (which had been
taken from the enemy during the last war,) posted on the
heights, fired a salute of nineteen guns. The troops then
marched in ordinary time round the monument, and immediately
separated to their respective parades.

"All those who were inclined to visit the interior of the
vault were then permitted to enter in small parties. The
remains of the brave M'Donell lie to the left of those of the
general. On the general's coffin, which is otherwise quite
plain and covered with black cloth, are two oval plates of
silver, each six inches by four, one above the other. On the
first is the following inscription:

"Here lie the earthly remains of a brave
and virtuous hero,
MAJOR-GENERAL SIR ISAAC BROCK:,
Commander of the British Forces,
and President administering
the Government of Upper Canada,
who fell, when gloriously engaging the enemies
of his country,
at the head of the Flank Companies
of the 49th Regiment,
in the town of Queenstown,
on the morning of the 13th of October, 1812,
Aged 42 years."

And on the second plate the following additional inscription is
engraved:

The remains of the late
MAJOR-GENERAL SIR ISAAC BROCK, K.B.

on the 13th of October, 1824.

Upon a similar plate, on the lid of the aide-de-camp's coffin, was
engraved:

The remains of
LIEUT.-COL. JOHN M'DONELL,
Provincial Aide-de-Camp to the late
MAJOR-GENERAL BROCK,
who died on the 14th of October, 1812,
of wounds received in action the day before,
Aged 25 years.

"Several printed papers, having the following extract from the
government dispatches of the day, were handed about:

[See dispatch from Earl Bathurst to Sir George Prevost, page

of several hundreds, copies of the inscription to be placed on
the tablet, over the entrance of the monument, were
distributed amongst the assembled multitudes, and which is as
