On the arrival of the body at the Cathedral. it was met st the principal entrance by the Dean, Clergy, &c. and the Gentlemen Volunteers then formed three deep on each side. Between these ranks the body was borne to the choir, and, after the burial service was performed. it was interred with great solemnity iii the vault which had been prepared far its reception. The whole of this solemn ceremony did not conclude until after two o'clock. The streets through► which the procession had to peas were nut much thronged, owing, perhaps, to the doubt of the precise line which the funeral was intended to take; but at Charing-cross, where there was a certainty of its being met, whatever might have been its presions direction, the crowd was very numerous, and reversl carriages, fillet! with fashion. able company, were staiiw►ed tu see the processio► pass. The trumpets of the corps, and muffled drum, occasio►wlly sounded the Dead Mardi in the pro• peas of the funeral. The Abbey was crowded at an early hoar by per sons of respectability. The grave was dug on Friday, adjoining the vault of General and near the graves of General Wade and General Hargrave, in the centre of the middle ai►le, about ten yards from the as trance to the choir. Throughout the interesting scene the most per fect order was nisintsiiird. The following is a short sketch of the history of the corps of which Colonel lierries was the Com mander : —The Light I lone l'oluoteerk were the first who asked and (attained regular commissions from his Majesty. They were formed un the appearance of invasion in *779 ; did duty in the metropolis and its environs during the memorable riots in 1780 ; and received fur their servicemen that occasion the thanks of his Majesty, and of the Lord Mayor, and Ma. gistrates of the City of Loudon. They were soon after that presented with a Royal etaudard by his Majesty's command ; and with another by the Lord Mayor of Loudon, voted them by the Court of egilllllloll Council. These, at the peace in 1783, they obtained permission to lodge in the Tower of London, with an inscription. espressive of their readiness to resume them again whenever their Kill and country should require their further ser vices. Accordingly. early inn the year 179 e, PAO. liameut having resolved that the utmost exertions were necessary for increasing the military force of the kingdom, the corps was again embodied, under the seine regulations and the adult sUpule tiots of service in every respect; and they shortly after weut to the Tower and resumed their stneidards in tisilitary parade. They were inspected by the King in the autumn of that year, alai were regularly reviewed by his Majesty for noisy years after. They cannot be celled out but by order of one ul his Ma jesty's Minister', officially cuenuaunicated to the Commanding Officer; then to do duty in the metropolis. ur within the disunite of ten miles. in case of iosurrection or appearance of invasion ; but without airy local limitation of service ill case of actual ironic/0, or of attendsug his Majesty's per son. They have, however, constantly voters- Leered their services upon every occasion of riots which were likely to end its reinstitute to the rein jug 'government. and hove. on more occasions thou one, done the ditty of regular troop.. The stand ing regulations of the corps *hews its interior sir nurgeosents, and how every part of it is conducted when not on duty ; and the stauding orders. which are in farce when it is called out into actual ser vice, have been feinted from those of the best re gular regiments io his Majesty's service. and ed.ipt. ed as well r possible to the formation of the corps, andcircunisnaces under which it acts. Not being aubleel to be called out, except by one of his Ml* rely's blinisten (genteelly the Secretary of State far *a Home Departmeui), Mr subject to the order of any Magistrate. unless put under him by the Secretary of State oe the executive power, they are arte expected to assemble on common riots; but when they are regularly called out. they are named.- ately put under the order of theCommainier.isi-Chief, mud are coniPletely military till again dismissed. On the octasiou of their being on duty iu April 1 8 10, they were brigaded with the 10th and ISth hussars, and took their regular four of duty, 'recording to their strength. Their stables in Gray's Inn-lane (heed.quarters) were made one of the 'military ka ftans, and the Colonel had there (besides his own re giment) three troops of the 10th light dragoons, and two companies of infantry. Their stables, both in Gray's Inn-lane, and Worship-street, resemble rein. lav cavalry barracks more than any thing else; and being in the vicinity of the City, without being unde► its jurisdiction, are well calculated to afford avant. once in case of serious disturbances in the metro. polio. Their premises in Gray's-Inn-lane are the property of the corps, and they 'rave lately pur chased snore ground there, and are now laying out above 6,0001. for additional accommodation, haw. ing been obliged to give up stabling for sitar one hundred horse*, which they held on lease. The Light Horse Volunteers had the honour of being reviewed by the King, when they had in the field 750 men, including officers, beside • strong reserve of supernumeraries, which served as a guard to the two :pieces of royal horse artillery. ;Inch were attached to them ; but appearances of in vasion having ceased for many years, and the in. terns, tranquillity of the country having been scarcely ever disturbed during the same period, the strength has been annually diminishing by the usual casualties of deaths, changes of residence, Ice. while there have been few inducements for gentle men to join them. Instead, therefore, of nine troops of 80, they now consist of only seven troops of 60 ; and they want about 160 to be complete to 410. Tiery have, however, made a point of always keeping up the skeleton of the regiment ; •iz, the staff, thecommisaioned and ison-conimissioned of. fivers, riding-nuniters, rough-riders,farriers. trumpet. era, and every possible conveniency for drilling re cruits as fast as they may eiiitr. It is also out of their standing regulations to teach gratis, on an order (min the Commanding Officer, ruling. the use of the broadsword, the manual exercis►. mid every military duty, to the sons of Light Horse Volun teers, to young gentlemen intended fur the army, to officers of yeomanry cavalry, mud to cmud►dMtes fur admission into the corps. TRIAL FOR SEDITION. The trial of Boggs,ley, Drummond, end John son, for unlawfully assembling to disturb the public pewee, and endeavouring to stir up the people to hatred and contempt of the Government, and for conspiring together to disturb the public peace, ticc. came ou at Chester, on Thursday morning, in the Shire.luill, about ten minutes past ten o'clock. The indictment was tried before a Special Jury, composed of the following getitlemeo William Sellrr, Earl. George Whiney, E.g. Henry Heiken'', E.q. Julio Marshall, Esq. George Platt, James Hill, James Wylde, E.q. Joshua Breeksbaw, E.q. Juba S.drwlek, Esq. George Lakin, Esq. TALn. IGeorge Shaw, Thomas Poyuton. There was only one challenge (Fosslei) and that was on the part of the Crown. The case was opened by Mr. PARK ; and the ATTORNLY-GMN ERA L billowed in a long and lumi nous spesch, iu which he stated the charges against the Pri•ourrs with great combine and luberality. St ven witnesses were examined on behalf of the proaerutint:, namely, Mr. Wm. Boulter, Mr. John Livesq, John Horatio Lloyd, Mr. Rataskirk, Mr. James Coppack, Mr. Ralph Fogg. and Mr. Thomas Italmmoso. From the evidence it appeared that the harangues of these mob orators were made to about 5,000 people, at a place called Satisfy B►ow, near Stock port. They were mounted on a stage eight or nine feet high. A man named Harrison was the chairman; he declared (in his opening speech) the people of England as bring run down at the point of cavalry swords and Castlereagh Isayo uets; he invited the mob to petition for a redress of their grievance", and if not successful in that way, to claim their rights by force. Bagguley then stepped forward. He reprobated the apathy of the people, eulogized Toni Paine, •cud abused the Ministers. He said a National Cwiertnia' should he formed, modelled from that of France! that the whole country should proceed with peti tions to London; that the delegates should nut wait foe the tedious forms of the House of Cour mous, but go directly to the Speaker's Chair, and insist on their demised. being granted; they were not attended to, the Courentiuu visa then to act, and the exi.ting Goverowesit he destroyed ! Johnson said the men ut Derby had beets murdered, and that Guveriiinrin had %Titters to the Clergymen of that county, who had pick ed • Jury to convict them. He added, '• 0 ! that 1 had a ►word large enough to strike off the herds of all tyrants," and gave the urines of Lords Sidman!' and Castlereagh. and Mr. Can whom he termed " rascals." Ile observed be was fearless of consequences, and begged be might be particularly understood, fur lie would say it fearlessly, that whenever an opportu nity offered, he would blow nut their bruins, and he would as soon du so as get his d ra wer and a bottle of wine with it! He then recommended the weavers slot to go to wink et the old wager, and told tlwni if they were not rankled in their demands, to her,, their looms ! Sooner than re tuns to work, he said lie would rob and plunder, aye, even murder ; and put • pistol to the head if he died on the gallows! The Prisouere all *vied iu coricert, ■nd it case out in evidence, that they were the principal plau tiers of the celebrated Blanket expedition. Mr. addressed the Jury on their be half iu a manly and truly eloquent speech, which iu its delivery occupied about two hours and a half.

Judge WinoairLD delivered a most impressive charge to the Grand Jury. CUTTING AND MAIMING. John Ne:olasul was indicted for maliciously stab bing Joseph David in the breast with a knife ' and also of having wounded him in several purls of the hotly with the game inatrunient, on the 4.l of March. in the parish of Llaugafelach, Glamorgan shirr. The Prisoner was found (;silty—Death. Judge WINGFIELD, in passing sentence on him, addressed him in • most feeling ai.d eloquent speech, which caused tears to fl ow from the Prisoner and the a uditors. At the conc lusion of the Learned Judge's address the Prisoner clasped his hands together, and raising his head, fervently exclaimed. "The Lord of heaven be ble.sed that the man whom I stabbed is not dead." When be was taken from the Far and conducted to his cell hr requested to be allowed a light and • prayer. book, which was complied with, and he prayed nni a l devoutly. It was afterwards discovered that the Prisoner had been wounded in the head, and it had been trepanned. It is supposed that the liquor winch he had drank before Ins attack on the Prose. rotor, had affected his bra.n. This trial presented the singular arcutstgance of two interpreter.. The Prosecutor we, deprived of his hearing at eight years of age, and partially of his speech ; but • fellow-win kinan of his understood him by signs. and he was ra urn to put the questions, sod inter !wet them and their answers truly—and as he and the Prosecutor spoke nothing but Welsh, another interpreter was sworn to translate the questions and answers into English. FELON Y. Thwart, Emirs and Margaret Evens were in dicted for feloniously stealing a deal box, containing 230 guineas, in the parish of Llanrhidisii, the pro perty of David Harry. The Prisoners were found Gailty— Leath. _ _ The Prosecutor load all the appearance of a dis ciple of E hoes. These darling guineas were board ed by him in a box, shout nine inches lung, and wide enough to admit a guinea laying flat, and of sufficient depth to contain the 2.10 guineas. It appeared during the trial that his favourite enjoy ment was the counting of these guineas, by which means the Prisoners came to the knowledge of itscon tents. The side of the box was marked in rude clu• meters denoting the several times he had added to his store and the amount. All the money was recover ed and restored to him in Court. His counteoance on his receiving it, baffled all description. He was old and infirm, but when he received the box he seemed strong and vigorous; he grasped it with both hands, placed it in hit breast, and covered it as well as his ragged garments would admit of ; he then hastened out of Court with his treasure, ap parently frightentd lest he might be again dispos. seised of it. FORCED DANK NOTES. Morris Moroi, was capitally indicted for felo. niott.ly uttering .ix forged notes, purporting to be a. Bank of Englund notes. The Prisoner pleaded Guilty. ant! was sentenced to death, hut before the Learned Judges left the town it was mitigated to transportation for life. SHEEP-STEALING. David Joses;;;;11C1;4;tetlio; stealing veveral sheep. the property of Thomas Lewis and others. The Grand Jury found three bills against the Prisoner. lie was only tried on one, which was de. (relive, as it set forth that the Prisoner had stolen the *heel., and it appeared in evidence that the sheep were killed on the spot, and he ought to have been indicted for steeling neutron. The Prisoner was of cour►e acquitted, but was detained in cus tody by the order of she Court, the Grand Jury tog discharged before the trial came on. CARDIFF GAOL A new system of mainigrineut has been intro. thiccd tutu Ceuta Pfl,oll by Mr. Lebreton, the Governor. Instead of the heavy irons which the Prisoners tried to be loaded with, they are now entirely free from them, and only handcuffed when brought into Court. They ■re kept at proper Is. hour, but not treated with any coetciun, except what is necessary fur their safe custody. Their moral conduct is strictly attended to; so much so that all oath or au improver expression is not to be hear.' within the prison walls. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Lebreimi, alio, we under stood, is an officer in the army, now reduced to There were only seven Prisoners for trial it the Brecon Great Sessions, and they were fur petty offences of nu iutere•t.
