The Bengal Hurkaru, of the 13th of February, con tains the following account of an extraordinary funeral in India The road to Barrackpoore on Wednesday presented a spectacle, which, although very common in ibis country, was still strange to those who were not aware of the cause of it. On that evening the shraddh, OT funeral ceremonies of an opulent native, named Bhullonath Banerjee, was performed at Penethi. An rrnmeme crowd of people, comprising Hindus, Nlussul. leans, and native Christians, flocked to the place, for th e Put Po-e of partaking of the donations usually dis• t,ibuted un such occasions. They were generally of the lowest order, and many of thorn had travelled a distance of four or five days, for a gratuity which it is probable did not exceed two or titree annas.

MAIDSTONE, AUGUST 12. • • V. PAM • This was an action for t.vo libels concerning the plain tiff, in his earaeter of Guardian of the Poor of St. Mary ; the Virgin, D.:ver, imputing to him fraud and malver sation in l.is otE;:e. These were also counts for verbal slander, imputing that the plaintiff was a public 'delin quent, and deserved a halter. Mr. MA/MYATT addres,,ed the Jury on behalf of the defendant, and called several witnesses to pIO7C the pvcial pleas of jmtification. The Jury retii ed tvr about half an hour, and found their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Oae Farthing. Two rather interesting cases on the Civil Side were made remainers until the next Assizes, in consequence of the pressure of other basilic ; namely, indictments prefeired by Lord Harborotigh against Lieutenant Graham, and a Seaman in the Preventive Service; the first for an alleged challenge sent to his Lordships by the Lieutenant, and the second for an alleged assault upon his Lordship on a late occasion, when the King'silench refused an application fur aCiimisi.ll I.:formation at she instance of his L9rdship. SHREWSBURY, AUGUST 13. • Samuel Dowe was indicted fur stealing a mare,• the property of Mr. John Wilkes, of Middle Salop, on the morning of the sth'of May last.• The horse was found in the possession bf the prisoner a few hours after the rubbery, and he offered it for sale for considerably less than its value. The Jury found him Guilty. There were two other cai:ital indictments against the prisoner. A pet son gat e . him a good character for honesty, up to the time of the pre.,ent charges. Mt. Justice PARK said, that but for the good charac ter the - prisoner had received, he should have felt it his duty to have tried him on the remaining indictments; and if found guilty, have left him for execution; as it was, he ordered sentence of death to be recorded against him; and lie would leave the country probably for the term of his natural life. • John Felton, aged , years, stood charged, on the oath of Mary Whitehouse, widow, with having felo niously stolen, on the night of the 3d of February, 1822, a silver watch, ten pounds in bank notes, &c. from the person of her husband, Samuel Whitehouse. Several witnesses were heard. Mr. Justice PARK considered that the circumstances were very slight against the prisoner. The Jury re turned a verdict of Not Guilty. Richard Bette' and George Wellings, the %tmer steward, and the latter clerk to the Corporation-for the management of the concerns of the poor of the town.of Shrewsbury, were indicted for embezzling various sums of money, the property of the Corporation. Sixteen witnesses were called on the part of Wellings. They were the most respectable men in the town, and gave him the highest character for integrity up to the ; time-of the present transaction. Mr. Justice PARK summed up the evidence, and the Jnry found them both Guilty, but recommended Wel hags to mercy, on.account of the character he received. Mr. Justice PARK in passing sentence, observed that the prisoners had been guilty of a most heinous offence l in systematically robbing the poor. Character in such a case could not at all be allowed to weigh in their 1 . - favour, because offences of this kind could only be mitted by men of character; no others could be en trusted, and therefore no others cotild betray their trust. He then sentenced them to be transported beyond the seas for the term of 14 years. JONES V. GREEN AND SIX OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendants, the proprietors of a stage coach called the Leek, which runs from Aberystwith to Ludlow, to recover a compensation in damages for an injury he sustained through the unskilfulne.s of the defendants' servant. The damages were laid at 5004, • ;%Ir. Justice LITTLEDALE left the Jury to decide what fair and reasonable damages the unfortunate plaintiff was entitled to for the serious injury he had reCeited: The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 1501. DORCHESTER, AUGUST 13. Mary Baker, aged 23, was indicted for the wilful murder of her female' bastard child, at the parish of Chidcock, in this county.. The Jury acquitted the prisoner of the murder of the child ; but found her guilty of concealing its birth ; and the Learned JUDGH sentenced her to twelve months' im , pi isonment in the House of Correction.—The prisoner appeared to be in a state of extreme dejection during the early part of the trial ; her countertance was pale and death-like, but it became somewhat re-animated when the Learned JUDGE intimated to the Jsiry that there was not sufficient evidence to convict her. While sentence was passing upon her, she knelt down, and clasped her hands toucher with an expressionof in,tense mental suffering. . . . .

FATAL BOXlNG.—WcJnesday, two private soldiers, at Dublin, John Constantine, of the 19th, and Jame, Kenny, of the 2 2 2 d regiment, having had some dispute, proceeded to settle their differences by a trial of their pugilistic powers, in the course of which Kenny received. a blow that deprived him immediately of life. No time was lost in taking the unfortunate mall to Mercer's Hospital, where every means was resorted. to-for re covery. A Coroner's Inquest was afterwards - field ott the body, at which it was stated, by some medical men, that the deceased was subject to fi,s, the effect of water on the brain, produced by excessive drinking, and the Jury returned their verdict, stating that " James Kenny came to his death during a conflict with John Constan tine, but whether it proceeded froth a blow, or was in consequence of a fit, they could not decide." Constan t tine remained a prisoner at the Head Police-office, after the verdict. The cause of the dilute is said to have bees a sum of fifteenpeuce.• COURT OF CTIANCRRif.-THIS DRY.

Since the conviction of Patrick Minnane, James llinnaite, and John Green, on Friday se'nnight, for the murder of Major Hare; and Murtotigh Fiinn, James Flinn, and Charles Dawley, on the day following, for the murder of John Harmon, the unfortunate men, having become fully sensible of the enormity of their guilt, employed the ;boa time they had to survive in frequent acts of piety and devotion.- —So early as nine o'clock on the morning of Monday, the day of the exe 'cutidn, crokds had begun to collect in front of the jail, and continued increasing in quick succession up to the hour of one o'clock, when they composed a dense and imposing mass of at least 10,000 persons! amongst them might be noticed numerous relatives atid ft iends of the .prisoners, moving about, and uttering lamentations in all the misery of grief. A small detachment of infan try and a guard of cavalry kept a clear circle in front of the jail, within which none were permitted to enter. After every arrangement was completed, the two Miunanes, who ale bi others, and Green, were first led out from their cells, one after the other, d r e sse d i n w hi te flannels,and supported at each side by a priest ; they looked remarkably well, and were engaged in fervent prayer. When they had ascended the terrace, they knelt for a short time at the foot of the scaffold, and then mounted the platform with a slew but firm step. After they had concluded prayer, it was intimated to the Sheriff, that one of the prisoners had expressed a wish to say'a few words in his presence, and Patrick Minnane turned round to address the people, who were all atten tion.os soon as they learned his purpose. He did net ex hihit in his countenance or manner the slightest terror of death, and he delivered himself with great energy in a 'firm and steady voice. He called them his friends—he said they had earnestly implored the mete} of Con, :Old the intercession of "the VIRGIN MARy; that they also entreated their prayers and intercession in their favour. IThe only means of quieting and pacifying the country was the advice and instruction of the Catholic Clergy— and, said he, " it is not informations, nor indictments, nor prosecutions, that will do it, nor any such things." He requested them to abstain from taking oaths, di inking, and swearing, and to attend to the advice of their Clergy, and that GOD would bless them. When had ceased, he turned about, and kissecihis - two companions; the Clergymen took their leave, • and the signal being given; the culprits were instantly launched into eter nity:.. The unfortunate men appeared to die without much pain, and after hanging for half an hour, their bo dies were taken down, and placed in a yard of the jail. .4119ut three o'clock, the other victims of the low, the two Flinns and Dawley, were led forth in a similar man ner ; itiey appeared deeply engaged in devout prayer, and were attended to the scaffold by their own Parish Priest, the Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald, whose presence they had particulatly requested, along ss ith the others.— Daniel Flinn spoke a vet y few words in Irish to the sur rounding multitude; with the exception of his brother, who made no declaration, they admitted their guilt. —After short preparation in prayer, they embraced each other, and the fatal drop fell. One of the Flinn* appeared to stiffer fur a long time in dreadful agony, and his body was frightfully convulsed. They were taken down after the usual time, and the crowd began to disperse. The six bodies were subsequently moved on a car over to the COunty Hospital, fur dissection, amidst the loud cries of their relatives and friends, and a guard was placed within the gates. It is a consolation to the country to.know, th.it all the .biave per sons were really guilty of the murders for which they siiifi-red, and thai they met their fate with a becoming sense of their guilt. It is fervently .te be hoped, that the awful spectacle will make the wished for impression upon others of the same character in the country. • Patrick' Minnane was married on Saturday night 411 the jail, to a, woman b,y, whom he had had two,children. Patrick Bennett, sentenced on Saturday, to be executed on Mon day for the murder of Gorman, is respited to the 4th of September. A respite for a week, for Harris and Davis, under sentence' of. death for 'the robbery of Earl Cowper's Steward,'"wai forwarded on Friday evening to Hertford Jail, from the Home Department. • The sentence of death on Daniel Flphinstone, for killing his mOther-in.law, at Edinburgh, alas been corn muted. to transportation for life.

The other feat, that of walking four miles backwards, was accomplished in fifty-eight minutes and a half, and that of six miles forwards in one hour and three minutes. The pedestrian performed his several !asks with perfect ease to himself, and attracted a great concourse of spectators. At an early hour on Wednesday morning, two Gentlemen of Lymingtnn decided a bet, one of whom engaged to run 200 yards with the Captain of a " black diamond" brig on his hack against his antagoni.r 400 yards.

FIG ZITS BETWEEN JIM TLOWTRS THE SMITH, AND JOHNSON THE BLACK, TAIRA RT AND BRISTOL HARRIS, ETC. These fights, the first for 100 sovereigns, took place on Saturday, at Farris:n, six miles from Godstone, in an open ring, and a fine day's play was the result. AU the men had distinguished themselves in combat; and Flowers met defeat only with the Bah tinman.— Capt. Smith, his backer, laid 100 sous. to 80 upon him on stripping. E4glit severe rounds, which lasted 39 minutes, were fought. In the first, Flowers was footed in a rally, by a left-handed telling hit on the osfruraism hieh drew claret, and set him weeping involuntarily. 2. As game a round as ever was seen, decidedly in fayour of the smith, who dealt out blows like the hammer upon the anvil. There were three distinct breaks from rallies, at each of which the Men separated covered with glory: The black was neatly dropped by a flush hit wider the right lug, which stunned hint into a vac.intstate, and brought odds to 2 to 1 against him. 5 and 4 in favour of the Smith, who kept his adversary bleeding under the piping system, but at the end of the fourth round the smith was floored by a heavy facer. 5. Equal fighting in favour of Flowers at last, he having again knocked his adversary down. • 6. The black's left peeper was queered beyond day-light, and he exhibited symptoms of no luck this time, and it turned out so. and 8. These rounds were gaily contested, but the black had lost the use of his best hand knuckles. He, however, had the best of the last round, by giving his adversary a heavy fall. 9. The black's last effort was a Manly, but disadvantageous stand. 10. A settler for the black, who advanced groggy to the ieratch, and was hit down senseless. Flowers won with severe punishment.

At the conclusion Pat came forward and begged leave to call to their recollection the many times he had been in the field, and his conduct when there; and he assured them no exertion - should be:wanting on his.parr, if called to the field to-morrow, to reflect honour to his country, BERNE BAY REGATTA.- One of those agreeable sights which are so interesting to English men, and which likewise serve to keep alive that spirit. of.emblatiOn which is essential to the well-being of society, took place on 'Tues day last, at Herne Bay. The vessel' started to sail twice round two boats, moored about two milts apart, making each nutcb distance of nearly eight miles, the whole of which . was close under the view of the numerous spectators who crowded the terrace, the heights, the houses, and the gaily decked vessels which covered the Bay. The scene altogether was most enchanting. • CORN EXCHANGE, AIARK-LANE, AUGUST 16. There has been a good supply both of Wheat and Flour since this day se'nnight, and the arrival of Wht at this morning was tole rably fair from Essex, Kent, and Strffilk. The unsettled state of the weather, linwever, and general scarcity of 'real fnie samples, in duced the millers to give rather higher prices far such, say ls. •per quarter, but without any improvement in sale of the middling and ordinary, which still sell very heavily. Barley fleets a dull • sale, and is a trifle lower. Beans, on the contrary, are taken off on somewhat better terms. The very prevailing opinion that the poets will open for Foreign Oats on the 15th inst. occasions a complete stagnation in this trade, and scarcely any sales can be tff..eted, as the consumers naturally await the result : we continue to ( l oose them as last week.
