Some idea of the length of the procession will be formed when we state that it reached from the steps of the station at Parramatta , far beyond of tho hill on which tho Globe Hotel is situated ( that distance being considerably over half a mile ) and yet in many instances the men wove six abreast . From the station the funeral procession wended' its way slowly and sadly along the road to St . John ' s Church , where some appropriate psalms and the proper lesson were read over the body by the Rev . R . King ; the impressive tones of the clergymanand the solemn sound of the music harmonizing letely with tho

, comp saddened feelings of all present . From the church the funeral proceeded along O'Conuell-street , to tho quiet and picturesquely situated burying ground at Parramatta , which lies a little to the north of the Penrith road . On its way from the church the order of the corUcjc was slightly altered , the Lord Bishop of Sydney and the Rev . R . L . King preceding the hearse , at the sides of which , Mr . Cowper , Mr . Robertson , Mr . Hargrove , Mr . Dalley , Mr . Arnold , and Mr . Jones walked as pall bearers .

The procession having reached the burial ground , the Church of England service was read by the Bishop of Sydney , in his well known deeply affecting tones . At the conclusion of the Church of England service , Dr . AVoolley read the ritual used at the interment of Freemasons , iu the course of which the brethren deposited in the tomb a sprig of acacia , which is recognised by them as an emblem of friendship , as well as the certificates of the different degrees in Masonry to which the deceased had attained .

There all that is mortal o £ the late honourable Robert Campbell was laid down for its last repose , in the presence of the largest and most respectable attendance ever brought together on any similar occasion in this colony , out of Sydney . It was a touching sight to see all classes of the community from the representative of her Majesty to the humblest artizan , and all ages , from the greyheaded old colonist who had known and loved , and honoured the "Campbells of the Wharf" since his earliest youth , to the prattling child who scarcely understood the oft repeated "

explanation as to the sight being in honour of ''' Good Robert Campbell "—itwas a touching sight we say to witness an entire people thus voluntarily paying honour where honour was so well , due ; though , possibly , had the feelings oi the deceased been consulted during his lifetime , a . private interment in tho graveyard at Duntroon would better have accorded with his quiet , unassuming habits . It was right , however , that things should be done as they have been , and few , we are coi ^ vinced , who witnessed it will speedily forget the scene we have been recording .
