along the road towards the village of Queenstown.  On reaching the commencement of this lane, the procession resumed its formation, all horses, carriages, &c., keeping in the rear; and when the head of the column approached the monument, it inclined to the right, to allow the body to proceed direct to the entrance.  The guard of honor then halted and formed in parade order; the 2d and 3d Lincoln regiments following the procession in like manner as the 1st and 4th.

“The time occupied in moving from the fort to Queenstown, a distance of nearly seven miles, was about three hours, including stoppages.  Being arrived opposite the spot where the lamented hero received his mortal wound, the whole procession halted, and remained for a few minutes in solemn pause.  It then ascended the heights, and to the spectator who had his station on the summit near the monument, nothing could be finer than the effect of the lengthened column winding slowly up the steep ascent in regular order, surrounded 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.”

    J.B.  GLEGG, A.D.C.

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

The remains of the late MAJOR-GENERAL SIR ISAAC BROCK, K.B. removed from Fort George to this vault, 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.
