Thome* Driadell, the miser, who died a few days ago in Clerk nwell workhouse, was buried in the ground helongiug to St. James's parish, on Tdursday last,. in t r presence of a vast concourse of persons, who were anxious to see his re ntable conaigneil to tbe earth. The funeral was cdtiducted in a very-respectable manner, and the corium was followed by four couple ; and Mary Ann 'Thompson, • little girl about 13 years . of age, a amoral dite4liter of the deceased, t• wham he be- . qaeselsoilthe whole of his hoarded wealth, attended as chief sisurner.

The floor did notoppear to have been cleaned fur years ; and in one stretched ion a few old rega, and ca weird will, a picot of filthy bl whet. This, with an old deal table, two bottomless Ghana, , and a small (teal box, wade up the entire of the furniture. The box appeared. to be tilled with old filthy weasels, and that to gixlier with !Made'', who was speechless, were Jimmied to the workhouse Mr. Scott buiaaneiy ordered every comfort to be administered to him, and medical aid was promptly ren dered, but he only lingered till nest day, when he expired.— After his dissolution, the contents of the deal box were ex plored by 31r. Scott and other gentlemen belongnig to the pa rish, when, amongst a heap of filthy rags, they found three %deer watches, each wrapped in a piece of rag; tut f .rther search they discovered fifteen sovereigns, an old stocking half tilled wills silver, crowns, half crones. shilling. and siapencee, and some of them quite black from age ; and a bundle of old papers tied round with a piece of string, which on being opened wined out to contain Navy lire per Cent. Bonds toa very large amount, and other sureties, together with his will, appointing Dlr. Wood, his former touter, as sole executor and guardian to his natantl daughter, the little girl above-tnentioud, and leaving her the whole of his „property, amounting to 1,7001. — When the doeumentB were found, some deities armless to their validity, the deorased baring led such a wretched life, hut en inquiry they were found to be genuine.

Whilst attending to her, Mr. Watts an• 4041 a piece, end felt confident that she had seeretecTit. 'He endeavoured to look int* -• smell basket she had is her hand, Met zooid not effect his wish. However, his suspicious were so well confirmed by her manner, .tbat took the desperate resolotion of detaining • woman of lady-like appearance. Her basket wee searched, and the lace (vales about 51.) wee found in it. Thee publicly detected, Mr. \Vette Lad no alternative diot:that of prosecution. She was carried before the enuisirsten, who, in consideration of her family, ad , mitted her to bail. Lest Thursday she surrendered lieraelfaul was put to the bur, where she pleaded guilty. Sir.

A desire to appear above her real situa tion in life, by dressing finely, had evidenty induced her to steel the lace. To steel so light an article as valuable lace, was • crime easily seeomplistied ; and he knew that many drapers in Manchester yearly suffered to a considerable amount by depredations ut this kind. The Court certainly took into consideration the youth of the prisoner, but still were obliged to keep is view the duty owing to the public its Nadeau therefore was, that " she be imprisoned, and kept to bard imbue, in the House of Correction, for the spade of six months." —The prisoner, who appeared to be far advanced in a state of e i oaney, and weptioussautly whilst she wan at the bar, then retired. ANTON CR net:cr.—At; invtstigation of a case of the most wanton cruelty took place at an inquest which was tersatioaird, 41ter three adjournments, at Bridge water last week. The subject of it was a poor boy, W. Bartlett, about 10 years 01 ape, who was apprenticed to a fellow named (lout, a sweep, in that town.

By these and situate acts of oartiortly was this unforiu laste lad persecuted. till human 118WIC could 00 linger support life, and on the 2001 lust. he expired in expres sible pain.
