Yesterday Sir John Millais was laid to rest in the crypt of St. Paul's by the side of his old friend and_ predecessor in the presidency of the Royal Academy. Alli along the route of the procession from Sir John's house at lace Gate to Burlington House, and thence to St. Paul's, there were throngs of people, and thousands had gathered about the western entrance to the Cathedral. The procession and the funeral service were in every respect similar to those at the burial of Sir Frederic Leighton a few months ago; amd the vast congregation was similarly representative of English art and letters and learning. The magnificent mosaics of Mr. W. B. Richmond which were only unveiled a few weeks ago have added vionderflly to the beauty and impressiveness of Wren's noble building, and the service was deeply moving, though the church itself was hardly altered from its ordinary aspect, save for a mourning frontal on the altar and the coffin on violet-draped trestles.
