SCA On the 11 th instant the remains of Sir Satnuel Ilotni:ly and his Lady were interred in the finally vault, at Knill, near Presteign. The mourners were his and Nephew, with hi: Brothers-in-Law—Mr. NVilittaker and Mr. Davis. The bearers were, Lord Linsilown. Mr. Brougham, Sir Harford Jones; Mr. FranUand Lewis, Mr. Richard Price, Mr Whishaw, and Mr. Allen.—The Rev. John Grubb, Vicar of Wig more. performed the funeral ceremony in a most im pressive manner. Lord Castlereagh did not attend the Concert at Aix la-Chapelle, on Saturday, the 7th inst. ; nor the party •of the celebrated Nladame lat tim t on the following night. His Lordship's absence was attributed to the melancho ly event of Sir S. Romilly's death, the account of which :had been received but a very short tithe before. It has been erroneously stated. that the tinnily of the late much lamented Sir S. Remaly consisted of one son and five daughters. He has left one daughter and six sons; the eldest is a student at Trinity College, Cam bridge, and three were at Durham-house Academy, 'Chelsea, but are at present with Lord Holland, at Kensington. The Morning Herald has made • another match for 'Westminster :—" Lord John Russel, (it now says) who is lately returned from the Continent, intends . to be one of the Candidates in the ensuing election for Westmin ster. lie is supported by the Whig and Burdett inte rest. It is not yet decided whether Mr. Douglas Kin naird will again start for Westminster. The town of Portsmouth was on Tuesday thrown into the utmost consternation in consequence of Godwin and -Co.'s Bank having stopped payment. - Such was the confidence of the inhabitants in that firm, that there is scarcely an individual in any sort of business there that dies not hold some of their notes. _ _ All the Masters of vessels at the port of Bristol, on Friday se'itnight hoisted their colours half-mast high, in. memory of the death of the late Princess Charlotte of Wales. - A great disturbance took place in the Tower about 4 o'clock last Snnday afternoon, in consequence of' the appearance of one of those gentlemen called "Dandies" among the company who assembled on the promenade to hear the miiitary band. The " Dandy," whose checks were highly painted, was pushed from side to side, and, at last, was so roughly handled, that he was :obliged to seek protection front the soldiers. The same parson appeared on the public walk, in the Tower, yesterday week, when the people threatened to pull off his stays, &c. His re-appearance yesterday increased their disgust and indignatiou. • He was received with hisses from both sexes, and would have be e n driv en from the walk, had he not sought shelter in the guard. room. Several hundred persons were present. The Times says—We have heard, but we should be sorry to pledge ourselves for the fact, that Mr. O'Meara, who lately officiated as medical attendant on Burnet parte, has' been removed from his Britannic Majesty's service. The einannstances from which this alleged removal has arisen arc described to us to be of a nature which will 'not admit of their being' concealed. it is Said that the Doctor has charged the Governor with a proposal to him to poison the prisoner. .1 considerable degree of uneasiness was excited during the last week, in consequence of certain indica tions of a )rebellious and refractory spirit among the boys at Eton College. For several days they kept the town in a state of uproar, and in their own immediate qaarters did some serious mischief, as well as offered tees grossest indignities to Dr. Keate, the head of the college. At first it was apprehended that all subordi nation was at cud, and that it would be impossible for the business of the institution to proceed : by the firm and decisive conduct of Dr. - Keate, however, aided by tl:c other masters, and by making a proper example of some of the- ringleaders, peace was restored, and on Saturday the whole of the school had returned to a p-oper sense of their duty.

The door being forced open, he was found weltering in his blood, and on the window seat 4ty a paper containing the tidlewing address, which appears to have been written after he had retired to the room in which he committed the fatal act : • . .

THE NA TTON'AT. REGISTER. Yesterday morning, about five o'clock, as a boat was conveying a man from Billinsg,ate to Cotton's Wharf, with a basket of fish, it ran . across a ship's hawser. which upset it, and the poor fish-man, named Gun, of Rotherhithe, was unfortunately drowned. He has left a wife and two children. The chimney-sweepers of Leeds have carried the process of adulteration to its utmost extent.

NOV. 15 The merchants of Cadiz, perhaps despairing of pro. tection ftont the Spanish Government, have set ou foot measures of self-defence against the South American privateers who infest the coasts of the Peninsula. They have accordingly built four vessels at Bayonne, which they design to equip as cruisers, in the hope of check. ing, if they cannot chastise, the audacity of the incur. gent privateers. At the Commission of Oyer and Ternainer in Dub. lin, on Saturday, the 31st ult. the Court, after wait.. ing a considerable time, sent to inquire if the County Grand Jury had found any of their bills. The Sheriff, on his return, intbrmed their Lordships that the Jury had gone away an hour before, and had taken the bins of indictment with them. The Court ordered their names to be called over, and fined each of them 101. • The slave trade of the Spanish ports in the West Indies is carried on with scandalous perseverance and success.
