THE [JULE OP GLOUCESTER. So early as five o'clock yesterday morning, the street opposite to Gloucester House was crowded with nuoitiers of the upper classes of people, in ex pedation that the funeral of H , s'ltoyal Highnes, would proceed for Windsor at that hour. On learn ing that the procession would not set out until ten o'clock, the greatest disappointment was manifest ed by every roue. Numbers went away, and return ed atter breakfasting ; but the greater part remained before the house, expecting that the coaches would arrive every instant. At ten o'clock, the hearse, with eight horses, and nine motnning•coaches, with six horses each, drew up along the sure'. The hearse was trim driven into the court yard, and stood before the door ; shortly after, the Duke of Glou cester's state each, and six }oses, drove into the court-yard. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Doke, of York, Clarence, and Kent's coaches then arrived, each having six horses; they drew up at the bottom of the street, after the mourning -coaches. At about half after ten, the coffin was placed in the hearse; a part of the First Regiment of Foot Guards, who attended, presenting arms, the drums, which were mused, beating, and fifes playing slow ly, the grand salute. The hearse, having re ceived the coffin, drew up to the gate, and remain ed there until all the mourning-coaches drew up to the door in succession, and took up the mourners ; they then passed on, and the hearse followed imme diately after His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester's state-coach then drove out of the court-yard ; His Royal Highness's Secretary sat at one side in it, and, opposite to him, 3 black velvet cushion was placed, with the corohet upon it. I is Royal Highness the Duke of York's carriage came next in order, and, after it, their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Clarence and Kent's carriages fol lowed, all empty A party of the gre:t.tdiers match ed, wit a their arms reversed, immediately after, and the remainder of the Guards closed the procession, which set off about eleven o'clock. l'he proces sion was delayed a consid.frable tin e. on account of one of the horses under the hearse growing restive, in Grosvem.r-street, and continuing so obstinate, that they were obliged to take him out of the harness. We have not, for a cons;derable time, seen so great a number of people together; the different windows, and the tops of the houses. were as full es they could hold. A similar scene presented itself all down Park-lane, and. so great a desire had every one to see the procession, that, after seeing it pass them at one coiner, several ran round, as quick as they possibly could, fnr the purpose of getting an tither view of it, at the cr•st. angle.

We are happy to state, that not only the garrison is p-rfetlly healthy, but that there is not the least rumour of the re-appearance of the malady in any part of the Spanish coast. A very circumstantial account of the capture of Jamaica by the Combined Squadron, estra.9ed from an American paper, has been received from Spain!! ! Sir Richard Bickerton arrived yesterday, with four ship s of the line, his own flasa-ship, the Quren, included. Sir Richard, being under the n-cessiry of leaving his station off Catiliagma, for s‘ ant of water, went to Oran; but, unable to get any there, in consequence of the disturbed stare of the count e, was compelled to come here. The Carthagena Squadron, eight sail strong, who never stirred from their harbour, so long as Sir Richard continued in the neighoourhood, came out, as soon as he had withdrawn. This morning, at five o'clock, a division of seven teen Spanish gun-boats, formed in A line at some chi tAn.:e from the gArrison, threw two shells and a few shot among our shipping, which did no injury, and then retired. ANOTMER LITTER. SAME DAT[. Yesterday, Sir Richard Bickerton arrived here from off Carthagena, with the Queen. Tennant, Mine?nue, and Rdfernlike'', to take in wa er and pr visions. Sir Richard had been to Oran to obtain supplies, hut found that place besieged by the Arabs, which prevented his receiving either water or provisions there. Last night the linh-yen arrived with the accounts of the Carthagena squadron having put to sea, on our four line of battle ships quitting the blockade of that port. They consisted of thr e first -rates, one 80 gun ship, and four 74's. Four of them bore down to attack the Beagle, and the other four to attack the flafrvon, which had been left off the port to watch their motions. This morning, at day light, on a thick fog clearing up. 17 of the enemy's gun and mortar-ho its were discovered within gun shot of the New Mole, who began tiring red-hot shot and shells on the men of war lying •)11 Olero, but retired in a few minutes, seemin : ;4 m some confusion, though not a gun %vas fired up la them, either from thc- ;r %rri, .n or squa dron. Or.: shot, and the splinter of a shell, came on shore, but not the smallest mischief was done, either to the garrison or ShIPPIllg, though • shell burst immeJiately over the Hydra. This extraordinary attack, and sudden retreat of the gun-boats, has given rise to a varicty of eon jeetures. AUGUST e. It now appears certain, from every account from Algesiras, that the attack of the gun-boats on the morning of the 27th ult. was concluded by the Spa nish Admiral Don Bruno de Ezesa in person, in fall hopes of being able to burn Sir Richard Bick erton's squadron, by means of red-hot shot ; but, in loading with red-hot shot the second time, an officer and two men were blown to pieces on board of the gun-boats, which struck such a panic into their whole line, that no persuasions of their officer, could induce them to try any further loading with hot shot, which WAS the cans.: of their precipitate retreat. The same accounts aid, that since their return to Algesiras, four men more have lot their lives in praaising the firing with red-hot shot, which has so damper) the spirits of the crews of the gun boats, that it is very doubtful whether they will ever attempt that mode of attack again. Sir Richard Bickerton sailed this morning with his squadron, in pursuit of the Carthagena Beet. We had a very brilliant and crowded horse race yesterday, upon the Sands, on the Neutral Ground, which WAS attended by most of the Offi:ers of the Garrison, and by General Cartanns, the Spanish General, and all his suite, and a number of Spa niards, who seemed much delighted at the novelty of a race in the real Newmarket style—all the Eng lish Officers riding in different coloured satin jackets, and jockey caps. auoust 5.
