Saturday last, the funeral of this nobleman, which was im. e from its simplicity. It consisted of a foot procession, like the ! Al of a private individual. The coffin partook of the same chaste aaractet, having neither crest nor coronet on it ; nothing but a simple record of the name and title, the period of birth, and that of the death of its occupier. It was borne from Cobham-hall to the parish church, a distance of more than a mile, on the shoulders of his agricultural la bourers, at his own desire, as expressed by him a few years ago, pre. ceded by his principal household servants, several of Jae clergy of the vicinity, and his medical attendants, and followed first by his oearest relatives, among whom we noticed his daughter (the Lady Elizabeth Bligh), and his daughter-in-law (now Countess of Darnley). The next in procession, many in number, and of great respectability, were the Noble Earl's tenantry, who were followed by several Magistrates and other gentlemen of the neighbourhood; the procession dosed with the menial servants of the deceased. On Tuesday last, the Comer London and Bognor coach was apset at Arundel by the breaking of the pole, by which accident one man a (servant of the Earl of Arran) was and several other passen gers were very seriously injured. A meeting of the inhabitants of the close borough of Stockbridge, for the purpose of petitioning the legislature against the proposed re form bill, took place on Saturday last. A string of resolutions, re ceived that morning by the coach from London, was proposed and adopted by the meeting, and a petition founded on them agreed to— not, however, without considerable opposition, the non-contents insist ing that more time ought to be given to procure a fuller meeting, and more ample expression of the opinion of the inhabitants'. Mzenantcs' INSTITUTION.—A very interesting conversation on ' chemistry took place here on Monday evening, much to the satisfaction ' of a numerous and respectable company. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Samuel Clarke took the principal part in it, and the latter exhibited a series of ingenious and useful experiments. A very nutritious cake was pro duced, made for the occasion from a recipe some time since recom. mended in the "' Monthly Gazette of Health," in consequence of • prospect of a scarcity of corn, which appeared to suit the tastes of the company, as it very soon disappeared, and many spoke highly in its favour. We subjoin a list of the ingralients, with the method of making it, viz. —Treacle, one pound; flour, three pounds and a half; turmeric powder, two drachms ; caraway seeds, bruised, three ounces; carbonate of soda, six drachms. First mix the powders well with the flour; add the other articles with three pounds and a half of steamed or boiled potatoes, well blended with five drachms and a half of muriatic add, diluted with half a pint of water—form a proper consistence with milk—knead it three minutes, and form it into a cake—put it within the heat of the fire, covered with a wet cloth, for an hour, then put it in the oven.

The opponents of the people under the cognomen of the " Ohl Cause" men, met on Monday last, at the Hotel in this city, and its their " last ditch" uttered a monody to their expiring cause. The meeting would not allow their proceedings to be repotted. Wise enough this. Since their meeting, another hole and corner petition, we understand from placards on our city walls, has been attempted. EAST DEVON MILITIA.—TiIe Ist or East Devon Regiment of Militia have now been trained a few days more than out week only, in the Barracks near this city ; ii consists of a fine body of young men ; about five hundred are clothed and appointed; they move well tther, march in line, wheel, form column and square, and, above me their , good conduct and cheerfulness, deserves the highest praise. DasTeueritra Flan AT TetnemouTn.—On Tuesday evening, about half-past nine o'clock, the New Inn, in the parish of West Tsagoinouth, was discovered to be on file, and in consequence of a strong wind from the S.E. and S.E. by E. it burnt with that rapidity that raven other houses were destroyed with it, by the devouring flames. —A house and cottage, the property of a Mr. Floyd, were ulso cone sumed ; and the general belief is, that incendiarism was the cause thereof. A meeting in favour of Parliamentary Reform, was held at Brixham on Friday last, Captain Cumby. R.N. in the chair. The meeting was addressed by R. W. Wolston, Esq. Mr. Thomas Lakentan, N.

At Devonshire assizes, besides the ordinary cases of larcenies, bur. glades, and highway robberies ; actions of debt,tec. were the following a John Hooper, 46, an exciseman at Barnstaple, was charged with en tering the house of E. 11. Brook, a brother exciseman at Barnstaple, and stealing various monies to the amount of 891. The prosecutor and his wife, it appeared, had gone out out about seven in the evening, of the 23u Sept. last, to witness the humours of Barnstaple fair, bolting heir bat.k door, and locking the front one ; that on return, they ob- ..~. . - >, • a ere cel a light in the upstairs room, and that the fore-door was locked, and a key' inside, they having locked it and taken the k e y w ith them when they left home. Prosecutors went round to back door and knocked. and shortly after, the bolt was withdrawn softly and a man rushed out; the female pursued him, crying atop thief, and never lost sight of him till he was taken, and then to her utter astonish ment she found it to be her neighbour and friend Mr. Hooper. Mr. Cockburn appeared for the prosecution. Hem, Attorney, Mr. Stevens and Mr. Crowder, for the defence, Furlong, Attorney. The sorer in his defence, dwelt- on the improbability of a man in his of life being p Why of such an offence, and stated that passing and hearing the cry of stop thief, he had joined in the pursuit, and in the dark bad been mistaken for the thief, who had escaped. Several very respectable wit. messes gave the prisoner a good character, but the jury, after a abort deliberation, found him guilty, and death was recorded against him. SEDUCTIOI.—Capron v. Belmont. gent—Mr. /rent Wilde stated the case on the part of the plainti ff . The plain kept a small inn at Bampton ; he was the father of several children, the person named in the record being his only daughter. The defendant was an attorney residing at the same place. The action was brought to recover compensation fot the loss of the service of the plaintiffs daughter, in consequence of her having been debauched by the defendant, and hav ing had a child. The plaintiff had only one daughter, and the defend. ant, being un attorney, he presumed him to have had an education su perior to the paintifE The defendant bad begun his career as an attor ney some years a.m. It was the fi rst instance he had ever known,* ease wherein a defend ant,' a member of the profession, was in court to face the witness box in which he was obliged to put the object of his lust. The plaintiff's daughter was not seventeen years of age; before her prospects had opcoed into light, the defendant had contrived to blast them for ever. The defendant was 211 years old. He made offers of marriage; the family thought she was too young, and disapproved of it. He, however, continued his addresses. The defendant had one morning asked the young woman, if be went down the town, to call at his lodgings, as he had something to send to her father. She accord ingly called. He continued to detain her, and it ended in an illicit in tercourse. He afterwards contrived to amuse her with declarations of marriage; took a house, about which he consulted her; at last, she found he was about to be married to another. She eventually gave pre mature birth to a child. The defendant, not satisfied with the injury he had inflicted on the family, had persecuted the father by going to his house, and when told to go out, had said that it was an inn, and he had a right to be there.—Mary Ann Capron was put into the box, and by her testimony substantiated what had been stated by Mr. Sergeant Wild; with the addition that the defendant had endeavoured to induce her to take something to destroy the child; alto that when addressing her on the subject of marriage, he had stated his profession to be worth 5001 a year. —The Jury, after a fcw minutes' consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 2001.

They immediately got into their carriages and left the town. Mr. Campbell, who had previously quitted the circuit, and gone to London expressly to give the ministers his vote, was loudly applauded, and succeeeded in quieting the people, and preventing the burning of two effigies, by an excellent speech on reform and the abuse of power by peers. Subscriptions towards the relief of that portion of the Irish pea. sentry, who are suffering under the honors of famine, are received by the clergy of Cheltenham, and at the Bank. It appears from the correspondence of the British and Foreign School Society, that of 629 prisoners committed fur rioting in the counties of Hants, Berk*, and Sussex, only 287 could read, only 76 could write, and 268 were totally destitute of those slight rudiments of education. On Wednesday evening the Judges of Amin arrived in Gloucester, escorted with the usual ceremonies by the High Sheriff, Sr Thomas Crawley, Boevey, Bart. and the Commission was opened in due form.

SHAFTESBURY /UNCTION RIOT.—At Dorset Assize, last week, not less than six-and-thirty persons were prosecuted for alleged tumultu ous proceedings at Shaftesbury, on the 2d of September last, at the chairing of the successful candidate. It appeared by the evidence, that on that occasion a great multitude assembled together, who threw stones at Mt. Swyer, the Mayor, and other persons of the borough, who were taking measures for die preservation of die peace. In the progress of the tumult, the Mayor was knocked down, and his friends were pelted with stones, and otherwise roughly treated. A large proportion of the defend ants were found guilty, and sentenced to short periods of imprisonment, &c. in the last case connected with this taildr, than. of The King v. Rutter and eight others, it was arranged that all the defendants should enter into recognizance' to keep the peace for twelve months, with the exception of Mr. Rutter, who refused to accede to the arrange ment, thinking that such a proceeding might hereafter be brought for ward as a proof of his having actually committed the offence. He felt also that it would be a false confession, and would lower him in the es timation of his friends, who were many and respectable, and especially those who belonged to the same religious society as himself: and the consequence would be, that he could no longer be considered a member of the society of Friends. It was ultimately agreed, that the C.i5C of Mr. Rutter should individually be made a remanct, fur the next assize. Mr. Justice Park expressed his regret that so much of the time of the Court had been occupied in these eases : he could have wished that the prosecutor had made a selection of the worst offenders, rather than per petuate the excitement which has existed in the Borough, by bringing I forward so many. On Monday last, as a coach loaded inside and out with persons, wbo had been attentlitig at Hereford Assizes as witnesses in the Leclilade bridge cause, was on its return from Gloucester to Cirencester, whilst descending a bill, about three miles from the latter place, the pole ' broke, and the vehicle was completely turned over. There were seven. teen or eighteen passengers, 'IA the consequences were truly dreadful. One man was so shockingly hurt that he espited shortly afterwards, and two others were so much injured that they now lie at Cirencester in a hopeless state. Only two of the passengers escaped unhurt, one of whom was an old man upwards of ninety years of age. Requisitions are in progress of signature, calling upon the Hon. Henry Moreiou to come forward for this county, as the colleague of Sir B. W. Guise. A supplementary indication by which the public may judge of the state of opinion in this place upon the question of parliamentary re form, has been afforded by the corporation numerously assembled in council on Wednesday last. A petition was proposed and read, con demning the bill now before the House of Coimnons, but admitting, however, the great necessity that exists for reform. When the divi. eion took place, thirty members voted for and thirty against the petition being adopted, upon which our worthy chief magistrate, with that dig nity anti independence which has distinguished his mayoralty, rose from his seat and walked to the ministerial side of the Chamber, and thus decided the doubtful alternative in favour of the liberal party, amidst the greatest applause. GLOUCESTER ASO BERKELEY Caveat.—A general meeting of the proprietors of this undertaking was held in Gloucester on Tuesday and Wednesday last, George Talbot, Esq. in the chair, the r esu l t o f which must be highly gratifying to all who take an interest in the pros perity of this navigation. After considerable discussion, a plan was unanimously agreed to, by which the various and conflicting interests in the concern are equalized and consolidated. MA.IIIIIED.—A. M.

The Second Annual Meeting of the Worcester Literary and Seim. tific Institution was held on Friday evening, at the Rooms iu New. street. The issues of books to the members during the year, amounted to about 1600, and not a hook has been lost or materially injured. Mr. W. Rill was elected president ; and Dr. Corbel was elected one of the Vier Presidents. One of those accidents which we have so frequently to relate, result. ing from the incautious handling of fire arms, occurred at Bistsmorton, in this county, on the cvtning of Friday last. The unfortunate victim on this occasion was a girl named Maria Clissett, about 19 years of age. 1 7 11. V- . - . TWIP Rev. C. P. 'Coffin, of East DOwn.

About ten o'clock in the night of Friday last, as a coach which tra vels between Birmingham and Manchester war within a short distance of Walsall, the horses took fright, and, in turning a corner at the entrance of the town, the wheel was brought in contact with an iron ctreby which the coach was hurled over with a frightful crash. were many passengers at the time, several of whom met l with considerable injury; but the most severe sufferer was Mr. Wilkes, a clerk at the Birmingham establishment of Messes. Kendall, of the Foregate-street, in this city, and son of Mb Wilkes, in Britannia-square. Mr. Wilkes was sitting with ewe of the Mr. Kendall? and the guard, at the hind part of the coach, and sustained so serious a concussion of the brain, that he now lies at Walsall in a state of extreme danger; Mr. Kendall was thrown amongst the horses, and miraculously escaped unhurt, but the guard had his arm broken in two places, and its feared be will have to un dergo amputation. The coachman was slightly bruised only, and the inside passengers experienced no mischief. The coach, we understand, was nearly shattered to pieces from the violence with which it was up. set, and one of the horses bad a leg broken, and was obliged to be mediately shot. The members of the Worcester Political Union met on Monday last, when an address to Col. Davies, and G. R. Robinson, Esq. the mem bers fee the city, wu agreed to, conveying the approval of the Union of their having voted foe the second reading of the Reform Bill, and en. quiring whether they would support the measure in all its details. A resolution was likewise passed in commendation of the general parlia mentary conduct of the two honourable members, and signifying the dc. termination of the Union to support them wheuera an election for the city might take place. The number of engines now on the Manchester railroad is sixteen. The journeys with goods are invariably performed in an hour and a half. The facilities afforded to commerce by the railways are strikingly ap parent from the fact that the entire cargo of an American, or other vessel, laden with cotton, may arrive at Manchester within an hundred minutes after being discharged. At Bury St. Edmund's, on Tuesday, an old decrepit man, aged 77, was tried ter slaying one of his companions, in the workhouse at Monk's Soham, with a bill-book. He was convicted, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. It appeared that these two creatures disputed eery fiercely on the antiquity of their families; the prisoner insisting that his was more ancient than that of the deceased, whilst the latter, in his turn, maintained the superior antiquity of his line of an emia ! Strange as it may appear, this was the origin of their dis agreement, which terminated in the loss of life. Tuesday, Henry Wilkins, convicted at the late Wilts Assize of hav ing set fire to a cottage at Shoddesden in the parish of Ludgershall, was executed at Fiaherton . Fur seve ral days after his trial, be perse vered in his declaration of innocence ; be was at length induced to con fess that his sentence was just, and that be was a guilty man. A publican named Pilch, who keeps the Halbert Inn, at Ipswich, was convicted of receiving, ' knowing them to be stolen, twenty combs of malt and a pocket of as. The prisoner was sentenced to seven yews transportation. Richard Koocku lds anti Josiah Davison were convicted of anon, on the premises of Mr. Ducker, of Swanton Abbey. Sen tence of death was passed on them. Margaret Mackesey was found guilty at Limerick, on Wednesday, of the murder of her mother-in-law. She *mkt' pregnancy; but ad mitted she was not " quick with child." The Judge said that preg nancy alone without quickening" was not sufficient to delay the execu. Lion, and she suffered death on Friday according to her sentence.

OLD BAILEY, dprilt The &salon• commenced this morning, before Lord Tenterden, Mr. Baron Oarrow, the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, and the tßieriirs. Charles Zilches, John Trigg, and Edmond Pena, were indicted for assaulting Robert Robinson on the highway, and stealing from his per. son a watch-chain and seals, his property. The prosecutor stated that be was returning from a public-house in Paddington, where he had been drinking, when be met the prisoners, one of whom be bad known. He received a blow on his hat from one of them; Cto t t i ver after some conversation , went and treated them with something to drink. On his return bole, in com pany with them, in Praed-street be was again struck on the hat, and at the same time he felt a pull at his watch, the chain gave way, the pri soners ran off; and the prosecutor called for the police • he kept one of them in sight until be was taken. A police constable followed the other two into a shed, and took them Into custody. The prosecutor re ceived a sovereign the neat morning to compensate him for his loss, which he delivered up at the police-office. The prisoners rewired a good character, and the Jury acquitted them. The prosecutor applied for his expenses, but his Lordship refused to allow them, and advised him to keep himself sober for 12 months to come, and rat would amply reimburse him for his loss. George Henry Ralph, and George Potter, were indicted for a bur glary at the dwelling-house of Sherwood Cushion, and stealing therein 12 silver spoons and other articles. The prosecutor resides at Bromley, near Bow, in Middlesex. Oa the night of the nth Nov. last, the house was broken and entered, and the property named in the indictment was stolen from the kitchen. On the 17th of Dec. following, the prisoners were appre hended at Woodford-bridge, by Palmer, a Bow-street patrol. On the person of Potter he found a crow-ear and sack, and on Ralph, a pair of shoes and a handkerchief, which were subsequently identi fied by the prosecutor PR his property. The prisoners confessed to an officer at Woiship-street that they had committed the robbery. The Jury found bosh prisoners Guilty, but recommended them to mercy, on the ground that they had not used any personal violence. Mtn, if • Mahon, was indicted for stealing a watch and other articles, value 261. the property of Henry Ward, and John Jones and Catherine Collins were indicted for receiving the same, knowing them to have been stolen. The wife of the prosecutor proved that the prisoner hi'3lahon was in her service in March last, and that the gave her the watch, with direc tions to place it under her. The prisoner absconded with it and other articles. She was met, however, in Tooley.strect on the same night, in company with the other prisoners, and the whole of the property stolen was found upon them. The prisoners said that they brought the articles from Lisson-grove, and were going to take ship at Chatham. The jury tound the prisoners Guilty. Thomas Wan was indicted for a burglary at the house a Mary Cur zon, and stealing therefrom a watch and other property. The prosecotrix lives in Baker-street, Enfield. and towards the latter end of January last her house was broken into and entered, and robbed of property set forth in the indictment. A min who lived in the saute employment with the prisoner proved that he saw a watch in his pos. session about the time the buglitry was committed. The watch had the word Aberdeen' engraven on it.
