EIGHT FIRES AT NORWICH Haie recently been extinguished b STIALDERS' PATENT PORTABLE FIRE ENGINE. (THE NEW PROPERTY PROTECTOR). These Engines are carried by hand and placed immediately where they can assail the main source of the fire at close quarters, to the greatest advantages ; when they deliver their whole uniform streams of water directly into the flames with unerring certainty and such surprising impetuosity, that the fires are banged out before the common engines can be brought into action. If the engine lever be worked briskly with one hand, and the delivery pipe pointed at a window 10 feet distance with the other hand, it will show bow furiously, steadily, and irre sistibly the little fire destructor combats and conquers the terrific foe. Engines elegant, durable, and complete in Brass 61. 16s. each. N.B. There is not yet in existence a good fire-engine 3pon a large scale. At Alderman Butcher's fire the Patent Parish Pump filled 12 large pails with water per minute, deli "ling at the rate of 50 and the two Engines 30 barrels per hour. But with the former Parish I'ump (which was one of the best brass lift-force pumps of the London made trash) not 15 barrels an hour could have been raised, and probably the flames would have gained the ascendancy.

It is the greatest advancement in ane eseful arts in modern times, and cannot fail to act in the Preservation of life and property from fire and water to an ex tent beyond calculation. ' - SHALDERS' PATENT PUMP. At a Vestry Meeting held at St. Michael's a t Plea, Nor- April 28th, 1842, the Parishioners unanimously con gratulated Mr. Shalders upon having, last May, fitted the Perish up with an efficient, permanent, economical, and in variable Pump (60 feet in length). It was rightly remarked, that although the water delivered by the former Pump was corn. T4 ,_ only cloudy, that delivered by the present one has been uni- Kulnly clear, ana raised with half the labour. (Signed) GEORGE IVES, WM. WOODROW, H. J. STEEL, Churchwardens in 1841, 1842.

Queen .street, May 26. REMARKS OF THE EDITOR OF THE "NORFOLK CHRONICLE," ON VIEWING THE PREMISES AFTER THE FIRE:— " About half-past one o'clock on Wednesday morning the Premises of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank-plain, were discovered LO be on fire by the night watch, who gave the alarm and called Mr. Butcher up. it was at first difficult to discover in the dark what part of the premises was on fire. Mr. Butcher thought that it originated at his neighbour's house, hut going tP to the top of his premises he perceived where it was ; when he • came down and opened the door of his store - room over the •kck part Olds shop, the fire and smoke but st forth so violently that he could scarcely stand on his feet. It appears that the fire had originated in this store-room directly over a paper loft, wit how, it is impossible to tell. Mr. Shalders, from over the b ay, immediately brought two of his engines, by means of which Mr. Butcher attributes his house being saved • and per naps the whole street, for there being a good deal of gun- Ilowder on the premises, had this ignited the consequences Would have been awful. Notwithstanding the natural opts,- tell occasioned by the near prospect of danger fromfire, Mr. Butcher himself removed the gunpowder from the premises, t alk( most of the goods from the wareho us e and shop viers Drought out and deposited for safety in St. Michael's at Plea Church. The engine from the Guildhall was on the spot Within a few minutes of the first alarm being given, but it loas impossible to bring this into play for some -time, as -the water was not turned on ; but in the meanwhile Shalders' engines (Mr. S. working one and his brother the other) were supplied with buckets full of water from the pump near at band. Mr. M. Yarington and his men acted W ith much energy and promptitude. Air. Steel, Mr. Plummer, M▪ r. Shalders, and others of Mr. Butcher's neighbours, were rat zealous in their services. In about an hour and a half all L'lnger was removed. Mr. Butcher is, we understand , insured "I the Norwich Equitable Office. rrhe delay which appears to have occurred in furnishing the Itlgines with water on the above alarming occasion, impera ;!vel demands the immediate attention of the proper authori - ICI. If the New Mills Company's works are the main public leurce of supply, some arrangements should be made for the there sure and speedy turning on the water into the pipes ; or t he city will sooner or later rue the consequences. I tY THE EDITOR OF THE " NORWICH MERCURY." On Wednesday morning, about half-past ono o'clock, a fire :r* discovered in the pause of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank- Plain, by the watchman on duty. Mr. B. immediately rose, ll •nd after examining hi% premises found it had taken place in a t are-room situated over the warehouse. On the alarm being il i Ten, Mr. Shalders attended with his pa tent fountain en g ines, ,-114 after great exertions the fire was extinguished before any eriou s consequences had taken place. There is not the Ihehtest doubt that this fire would have been attended with a treat less had it not been for the fountain pump, and it. was !rt . tirely by that and the exertions of Mr. Shalders that the fire R ae so prnmptly extinguished, it being au hour and ten minutes b efore the engines could be got into play ; and at the time the Ile was discovered the whole store-room was in flames, fur on '"". But c her opening the door he was twice knocked down by the smoke and dames. but fortunately received no injury.

FUNERAL OF H.R.H. THE DUKE OF ORLEANS. The melancholy ceremonial attendant on the removal of the earthly remains of the late lamented Prince from the palace at Neuilly to the metropolitan cathedral of Notre Dame having been fixed for Saturday, Paris may be said to have poured fourth its entire population upon the line of route marked out for the mournful proces sion. Every shop was closed—all business ceased for the day—and, in fine, no mark of respect was omitted which could exhibit the deep sentiment of regret enter tained for the fate of the illustrious dead. It was not, however, the capital alone which supplied the countless masses congregated on this sad occasion, for from many miles n , unds crowds had been thr4nging towards Neuilly and the Champs Elysees from the first dawn of the morning, hundreds of whom must have spent most part of the night in walking. Hence the concourse of spec- tators was-far more numerous than even .at the late in terment of the Emperor Napoleon, though the funeral solemnities on the present occasion were necessarily of a less imposing character. There every thing was upon the scale of magnificence and pomp befitting the sepul ture of the hero and the conqueror, of whom it has been truly said, " thrones were but his footstools." The pageant on Saturday, though splendid and imposing, derived its chief interest from the melancholy feeling attached to the fate of the yowler Prince so cruel)). snatched away in the morn of manhood from a nation of which he was the hope—from an illustrious family of which he was the id o l and the pride. It was this senti ment which drew the thousands and tens of thousands to look upon, and do h onour t o , th e bi er o f hi m over whose untimely death even the storms of political -strife had berth be abed,'*hd --to chose" worth and tirtne every holm does homage Welton , proceed to describe the solemni ties of the day : As early as six in thelnorning the interior of Paris began to be in full motion ; drums were beating 'to muster, National Guards were hurrying in every direc tion, and crowds were seen streaming towards - the Champs Elysees and the road to Neuilly ; and later,' at' intervals, large bodies of the clergy, and of the students of the Polytechnic. St. Cyr, and Staff Schools. Nearly . at the same time, the funeral car, with a long train of mourning coaches, was seen moving with slow and solemn pace towards the palace, where, on its arrival, it was stationed in the grand avenue. Gradually the National Guards and troops arrived, and severally took up their appointed posts, the troops forming masses and lines in front of the bridge, and along the old Neuilly road, the National Guards being posted round the palace. At half-past nine all the Aides-de-Camp and orderly officers of the King, the late lamented Duke, and the other Princes, assembled in the Court . in which the chapel stands, and, in a f ew mi nu t es afterwards, the Marshals, the Ministers. the Chancellor, the President of the Chamber of' Deputies, and the grand Deputation from both bodies of the Legislature, arrived. These were speedily followed by • the Archbishop of Paris, accompanied by the Ores of Neuilly, St.-Itoch, and St. Germain l'Auxerrois, and followed by his clergy. The Canons of the Chapter of St. Denis, charged with the performance•of the services over the coffin; received the Prelate at the entrance of the chapel, where Isis Ma jesty, the Queen, and all the Princes and Princesses of the afflicted family, were on their knees before the altar. Soon afterwards the Queen and Princesses toek their final leave of' the beloved remains, and retired. The agony of the Royal sufferers at this terrib!e moment is described as inexpressibly affecting. The King, with his usual admirable fortitude, remained with his sons, to aid and assist in the last sad duty that affection can pay, by superintending the removal of the body (on which the Archbishop bestowed benediction) from the chapel into the car, when his Majesty and the Princes also retired.

(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) I.`"' Ile 'Pr°Seell " 11 1 %." C ' Mr. tin rey and Hill, Q.C., and Mr. Mellor. carried her in his arms out •of the kitchen, and through a wide passage, or hall, into the breakfast parlour, where he succeeded in committing the offence with which he was charged. He kept one ha_n_d on her throat and the other on her shoulder during the greater part of the time. The shutters of the window in the - breakfast parlour had not been opened, and it was consequently quite dark; she, however, saw what the defendant did. She did not cry out or make any noise, as she felt quite overcome in the kitchen; and the defendant kept his hand on her throat in the breakfast parlour; but she re covered herself considerably in the latter place. De fendant's wife was sleeping in a room immediately over the kitchen, and a young lady, a visitor, in a room di rectly above the breakfast-parlour. After defendant had committed the offence, he went up and shaved himself. She took some hot water up to the young ladies soon after, but did not complain to anybody until the evening of the following day, which was Sunday, when she told Thomas Farmer, a postman, who went to Market Bos worth, eight miles off; where her father resided, of what had happened, and desired him to tell her father to fetch her away. She was much distressed in mind, and the postman observing it, invited her to a gin-shop, where she had a glasS of something to drink. Her brother came to see her the next morning ; she told him that the defendant had ill-used her. She did not say what he had done, and the following morning he came with his wife and a cart to fetch her away. On Saturday, eight days after the offence had been committed, she made a complaint to the Magistrates, and the defendant was ap prehended on the following Tuesday. The father of the prosecutrix, her brother, his wife, and Farmer, the postman, were then called to support the case for the prosecution. They prevaricated very greatly. Mr. HILL, in an argumentative, eloquent, and effective speech. addressed the Jury for the defendant. The Learned Counsel analysed the evidence in support of the prosecution, and contended that it was altogether a most wicked fabrication, the charge having been trumped up for the sole purpose of extorting money from his re spectable client. The defendant was at the mercy of the vile wretch who had laid the charge against him, and whom he should show to have been a character of William Pennington, William Wilde, John Hodhinson, and Peter Pennington were indicted for a burglary in the house of Jacob Scoles, at Chadderton, and stealing therein a sum of about 301. in gold and silver. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Brandt. The prisoners, William Pennington, Peter Pennington, and John llodkinson, Isere defended by Mr. Wilkins. Wil liam Wilde pleaded guilty. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor that on the 31st of March last he retired to bed about nine Admission 2;. 6d.—Children Is. o'clock, leaving his sister up. She also went. to bed about eleven o'clock, having seen tkatthe 'house was properly secured. She slept with her child in the same room with the prosecutor, and they were both awakened about one o'clock by hearing.a noise at the bed-room door. , They got up, and, looking through an aperture, saw four men with their faces blackened, who were endeavouring to force an entrance.. The doer was fastened with a piece of stick over the latch; and for some time resisted their efforts. The prosecutor seized a pitchfork which was in the room, and endeavoured to break open the window, for the pur pose of making his escape, but before he could succeed in this object, the door gave way, and he was brought to the ground by a blow over the head. The robbers then held him down on the floor, and threatened him with violence if he did not tell where he had hid his inioney. lie at last told them to look upon the chimney piece, upon which one of them went thither, and took away a bag containing twenty sovereigns; three half sovereigns, and a number of half-crowns. The robbers then decamped, after having tied the hands and feet of himself and his sister with some rope-band, a material used by silk-weavers, in which trade the prisoners are employed. William Pennington was first apprehended. Mr. Scott, clerk to the Magistrates, came in while he was in the lock-up, and during the conversation which ensued, the prisoner burst into tears, and said he would tell all. He said, " Our Peter, Bill Flesh (Wilde), Cricket (Hodkinson), and myself, all met together on the Thursday about ono o'clock at our house. We made it up to go and rob that house. We met again at night. Marcroft came and brought a crowbar, and an old pair of trousers. Marcroft should have gone, but failed in heart. We then blackened one another's faces with blackball, soot, and grease. We went to the house. Bill Flesh pushed the window out. I went up stairs first myself, and the door was opened. I got in and got hold of Jacob Scoles, and prevented him getting out of the window. He thrust the pike through my shoe into my foot. It was very ill swelled. Bill Flesh took the money off the cor nice. When I was coming back, they sent me forward. I waited a long time for them in Pollitt's-field, but they never came near me. I went back, and found them at my house. We divided the money on our hearth-stone. We got two sovereigns and a half each, and 30s. of silver." On the conclusion of the case for the prosecution, his LORDSHIP said he thought there was no case against the prisoner Peter Pennington. The Jury found both the prisoners guilty. Sentence deferred. Every thing be now ready, the guns at the bridge gave the mournful signal and the procession began its march towards the gates of the park. All the attendants were on foot, and moved with a slow step across the space which is between the chapel and the grand entrance. At the head was the smaller car, in which was deposited the urn containing the heart of the illustrious deceased, which was in the charge of two priests. This convey ance was a large carriage, drawn by six horses, and covered with the trappings of mourning. The upper panels were of glass, and the edge of the roof and four corners were surrounded by a border of chased silver, and it was surmounted by the royal coronet of the late Prince. This car was followed by Generals Marbot and Baudrand, who were Aides-de-Camp of the Duke, by the Count de Grave, and by Colonel the Duke d'El chiugen, officers of the King and the late Prince Royal. The grand funeral car, which was truly magnificent, was drawn by . eight horses covered, with fune ral housings, richly embossed with silver, which descended on each side to the ground, and, each wearing large plumes of black feathers. The coffin, when placed on the funeral car, was covered with a velvet pall, having a cross in its centre of silver tissue, and deeply fringed with silver. The car itself was richly carved and chased. On the top were four winged angels and a Royal coronet of gold, supported by groups of the national colours, veiled with black crape. At each of the four corners was an ancient helmet, with long floating plumes. From below the platform on which theody was placed rich draperies with armorial bearings datscended to the ground, and at different other parts were emblazoned the arms of the deceased. The cords of the pall were held by. Marshal Soult, the Chan cellor of France, M. Latfitte, the Senior Member of the Chamber of Deputies, the Ministers of Justice and of I Foreign Affairs, and Marshals .Molitor, Gerard, and Valee. Immediately after the car walked three officers of the late Prince Royal, bearing his insignia, namely the coronet, borne by the Count de Montguyon ; the sword, by M. De Chabaud-Latour ; and the Grand Cross and Ribbon of the Order of the Legion of Honour. Immediately afterwards followed, on foot, the Duke de Nemours, the Prince de Joinville, the Duke d'Au male, and the Duke de Montpensier, wearing long mourning-cloaks over their uniforms. They all bore evident marks of the affliction in which they were ab sorbed. After the Princes came the grand Deputations of the two Chambers, one headed by the Duke de Broglie, Baron Seguier, and the Count de Portalis, Vice- President ; the other, by M. Clement and General Levdet, the Questors, att e nd e d by th e P rov i s i ona l Secre taries. • A company of Grenadiers of the National Guard, which formed the guard of honour to the chapel dur:ng the morning, closed the march to the K . ate. .ilere the Princes entered the funeral carriage prepared for them, and the Marshals who were to escort the car nr.uated their chargers, and the remains of the lamented Prince Royal left the palace for ever. After the procession had started, and the head of the cortege had arrived at some distance, a considerable delay was observed to take place, the cause of which was unknown. It was, however, subsequently understood to be that, at the moment the cherished remains of one so beloved was about to be removed from their sight for ever, the agony of the bereaved wife, and the unhappy mother, too violent for control, led the Queen and the Duchess of Orleans to supplicate a brief moment's delay —alas! how unavailing. The sorrows of such a moment, even if they were not too sacred for publicity, what pen could venture to describe? SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Where constitutional rights are in volved, consideration of the persons will be merged in the desire to vindicate their integrity. The ques tion is, not whether M‘Douall be a noisy demagogue, prepared to perpetrate injustice upon others, for the purpose of obtaining an opportunity of declaiming upon the People's Charter to those who would not listen to him for a moment except upon compul sion—the p • • --issue is not what APD oua ll i s , or what t e principles he desires to promulgate are —the real question is, whether a p eacea bl e assem bly (we use the word in its legal acceptation) is under the protection of law, or whether it is liable to interruption and dispersion at the pleasure of a police constable—whether the mental calibre of an ignorant policeman is to be the circle within which the constitu tional right of Englishmen to meet for the purpose of discussing public grievances is to be exercised—and his notions of the proprieties of speech on such occa sions to be the rule by which the phraseology of the speakers is to be constructed—these are the practical bearings of the question. Let not the magnitude of the controversy be lessened because a M'Douall is the in dividual in whose person the important question is raised, or Chartist assemblies the meetings against which the police are trying the extent to which they may push the powers they seem disposed to exercise. The parties are mere circumstances. The constitu tional riiht of publicly assembling for any purpose within the limits prescribed by law, is threatened with invasion. The doctrines laid down by the Home Secretary of State in his speech of last night, and in that he delivered a few nights since on the Staf fordshire case, seem to justify the apprehension of encroachments upon public liberty, similar to those which characterised the Administration of Castle reagh, and were embodied in the infamous " Six Acts." While Sir James Graham holds forth implied encouragement to the impertinent and unconsti tutional interference of police constables with public meetings, such as he embodied in the speeches we have alluded to, there is no security from interruption on any occasion on which a body of Englishmen may assemble to petition Parliament, or for any other pur pose, however lawful. the worst description. Mr. Hill went on to quote from Lord Hale as to the collateral proofs which should be re quired of the commission of the crime, neither of which had been adduced in this case. The woman had not • made any alarm, although there Were persons imme diately within hearing—she had not complained, al though there were females in the house ; and a lapse of a week had occurred before an application had been made to a Magistrate. There were no marks of violence found upon her, notwithstanding her having described the struggle as of a most fearful character. W o uld she not, if her story were true, immediately have com municated the fact ? A woman felt, under such ap . palling circumstances, that all o ther women were her friends ; that the whole sax was outraged, and she would cry out from instinct, from reason, from every motive that can influence the human mind. Her having been silent was a damning fact in the cry out ü b t u i t v l e te au sl s i c s oul i c i l e pr w o a y s e esnoomu,gulich agitated.entitlebesidetollm \r him to their verdict. She had s t ate d , forsoot h , t h a t s h e did not heard of a woman so a g it ate d as to lose the useof e h ve e r r tongue, a weapon given her by Providence for her own protection, and sometimes for the annoyance of every body else.—(Laughter.) The whole story was a base lie—he could use no milder term—a lie perpetrated upon the Gospels of God—a foul, a w i c k e d perjury ! In the breakfast room she said she could not make a noise, be cause the defendant grasped her throat violently for more than five minutes. Did this prevent her crying out in the kitchen, or in the passage ? But where were the effects of this violent struggle, this death-like grasp ing of the throat ? Who ever heat(' of such a com bination of violence, with such delicate tenderness— holding her throat with a grasp of iron, which appeared to have the effect of a grasp of velvet ? There was not a mark upon liza. person. She had taken hot water up stairs to the ladies immediately after. She had waited in this very breakfast-parlour upon the defendant and his family that very morning, and continued in the house for three clays after, without making a complaint to one of its inmates. She told her tale of Woe first to Mr. Farmer, the postman, and they then aljourned to a gin-shop for cc.n solatioo. The Learned Counsel, after some further re• marks upon the testimony of the prosecutrix and her witnesses, proceeded to detail the evidence he should present to the Jury ; and concluded by saying, that he asked not for a mitigation of punishment, but for a total acquittal. Dain, an architect, and Mr. Poole, a builder, were then called to prove that from experiments which they had made, the m ost trifling noise in the kitchen or break fast-parlour of the dvfinidant's house could be heard in the rooms over them. STANDARD.—In the House of Lords, last night, the Regulation of Mines Bill (Lord Ashley's Bill) was read a third time, and passed. The Marqui s of Londonderry is entitled to the praise of having ren dered the measure complete by a boast, that, ay it stood, coalowners would not be under any ne cessity of admitting the Government inspectors into their mines, or releasing them from these subterraneous prisons when admitted. Lord Wharn cliffe supplied the omission promptly by pro posing, as an 'additional clause to that providing for the appointment of inspectors—" And be it enacted, that the owner and occupier furnish such means as are necessary to enable such persons to visit and insect mines, collieries, buildings, a n d ma chinery.' There can be no doubt that the House of Commons will adopt this and the other amendments of the House of Lords, so that the beneficent measure may be now regarded as safe. So far Lord Ashley has reason to congratulate himself, and the human race have reason to be grate ful to his Lordship for the ground secured ; but the factories remain, and the ground secured by the Mining Bill is a great step towards the abolition of the white slave-trade everywhere. " Nunn in luctantes dracone s: " now for the millowners, Lord Ashley ! Now for the complete fulfil ment of your glorious commission ! The sup port of the country has enabled you to triumph over the tyranny and cruelties of the mine, and you will have the same support in the warfare with the tyranny and cruelties of the mill. But Lord Ashley wants no prompting—he will do his duty; and we can promise him that he will have the support of the country. It is some satisfaction to see, by what fell from Sir James Graham last night, that the Mi nisters are at length wavering upon the question of a Short-time Bill. Doubtless the experience of the present year has taught them, as it has taught the country, that manufactures may sometimes go ton fast, and that a trade fluctuating between unnatural exertion at one time, and complete inaction at another, is not the trade most conducive to the happiness of the people, or ultimately to the wealth of the community, though it is just the trade into which greedy gamblers are most disposed to plunge. Now a Short-time Bill would be one of the best imaginable means to temper and equalise the operations of com merce, because it would render difficult, if not im possible, those paroxysms of exertion which are sure to lay the foundation of such periods of lassitude as that which now afflicts (or rather has lately afflicted, for industry is again arousing itself) the manufac turing population. Mr. John Bucknald, a surgeon, at Market Bosworth, who had been twenty-eight years in practice there, said that he was sent for to examine the prosecutrix on the 17th of April, eight days after the offence was alleged to have been committed. He found injuries on her person which he was confident she must have inflicted herself immediately before, for the purpOse of deceiving him ; they had entirely disappeared the next day, which would not have been the case had they been of long duration. He did not know the prosecutrix, but he thought it right to caution her as to the statements she made to him. She at first told him that she had been a virtuous woman up to the 9th of April, but afterwards admitted that she had lived with a man called.Jatnes Mantle, at Abberley, in Worcestershire, where she had lived with her grand father. ! The procession moved forward and presented a most imposing spectacle. The National Guard never since its institution assembled in greater numbers, or in finer order. All were in full uniform, with their knapsacks. Two battalions from the 4th and 7th legions, and the whole of the 13th legion, represented the great body of the National Guard, in the line of the procession, and were headed by the Count de Montalivet • all the other legions formed the line on th e r i g h t of the procession, extending the entire distance from the gate of. the palace at Neuilly to the cathedral of Notre Dame, having at least 42,000 men under arms, presenting'a scene in every way worthy the sad solemnity of the day. .As the car passed each company the drums rolled, the colours were lowered, and officers and men presented arms. The left line was composed, from Neuilly to the Rond-point in the Champs Elysees, by troops of the line brought, from the enviro ns of Paris, and from this point to the cathedral, of those composing the garrison of the capital. General Jacqueminot, who, under the orders of Mar shal Gerard, had the direction and arrangement of the troops, rode, with an immense sta . ,. at the head of the first section of the procession. The truly martial•bear ing of the mounted Gendarmerie, rivalling in appear ance the Horse Grenadiers of the old guard, followed by a fine squadron of the Municipal Guard, and the second battalion of the Orleans Chasseurs, whose dark green 1 uniform gave them the appearance of being in mourn. ing, attracted general attention. The second section opened with the first series of mourning coaches, preceded by 200 priests on' foot in two files, one on the right, and the other on the left side of the road, led by the Cure of Neuilly, before whom borne the cross. In the centre were the Cures of'Saint loch and Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, the two loyal parishes, and the Canons of Saint-Denis wearing the camail and cross of gold. The chanting of the prayers for the dead by the priests produced a profund impres. sion upon the multitude around. :The car with the heart of the deceased which followed was preceded by the Archbishop and his chapter. in mourning-coaches. That of the prelate had the armorial bearings of the lamented Prince on the door panels, and was draivn by four horses :n rich funereal caparisons. In a carriage behind ivvre - arried the insignia of the prelate. The car was attemlid by Aides-de-Camp of the Duke riding by its sides, aid followed:by the persons of his household on foot, all in deep mourning.

Her grandfather worked as a labourer with his father. A person named Stainforth was called to prove that he had lived with the prosecutrix.

Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there fore have no difficulty in discovering the animus which directs the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is dolly suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the progress of xis New Plate since its introduction. C. W., unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the result will establish its pre-eminence. 41 and 42, BARBICAN, and at 16, NORTON FOLGATE. THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER. CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c. &c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeoded in purifying our material so that acids do not stied it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at our warehouies. It is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's Pattern.

Gardner and Bazley, cotton spinners, Water-street, has been " picqueted" by a large body of unemployed operative cotton-spinners, about 200 in number, who parade up and down Water-street, in front of the mill, from about live or half-past five in the morning, when the hands are going to work, and re main till nine, staying over the breakfast hour, and till the workpeople are again in the mill. The piquet then departs till about twelve o'clock at noon, when they again visit the neighbourhood of the mill, and parade backwards and forwards till about half-past one or two o'clock, by which time all the hands have resumed work after the dinner hour. The picquet then march away, but return to the place about six o'clock; and remain opposite the entrance to the mill till all the hands have left, which is generally about half-past six o'clock ; but on Thurs day evening, the picquets kept their post till about eight o'clock, parading up and down. They do not appear to have used or threatened violence towards 'any of the ,hands ; nor have we heard of any attempts to induce the spinners in the mill to leave their employment. Indeed, from what we have beard, that would not seem to be the object of the picquet. It seems that since a turn-out, which occurred in 1829, through the interference of the Spinners' Union, Messrs. Gardner and Bazley, have de clined to employ any spinner who is a member of the Union ; and the object of the picquet would seem to be to ',compel or induce the hands in the employ of the firm at this mill—about four hundred, we believe — to join the Union, and, of course, to help to main tain all the Unionists who are unemployed. There is not the slightest difference between Messrs. Gardner and Bazley and their hands ; they con tinue working as usual, subject only to the daily visits and inspection of the picquets. Though, as we have stated, the latter do not of any direct violence or threats to the hands, and only use that sort of intimida tion which must naturally affect many individuals of timid disposition, from the presence of a great number of men, collected together for a common object, yet the assemblage of two hundred men in a public thoroughfare for two hours together, of course excites a good deal of curiosity and inquiry, and at times a considerable crowd is collected. With a view of protecting the hands from any actual violence, five or six of the borough police hare been stationed in Water-street, where they remain all d my, not interfering with the " picquets," but watching their proceedings.—Manchester Guardian. GREAT RAILWAY TRAIN FROM LIVERPO3I. TO LONDON.—It having been announced by placar,ls and otherwise that there would be a railway trip from Li verpool to London and back for 285., to start on Mon day the Ist of August, and return on the following Thursday ; tickets to the number of 1,000 were issued and immediately bought up ; and , the trains consisting of 30 carriages drawn by one engine, and 22 drawn by another, started at six o'clock on Monday morning from the Edge Hill station for their destination. The Antwerp Company's steam-ship Bruges, Captain Main, landed her passengers yesterday morning at St Katharine's-wharf, Tower, within twelve hours after leaving Ostend. Sir Patrick Bellew, Bart. ; Sir Edward Smithe, Bart ; M r . H arr i son, Commissioner of Excise, &c., arrived by her.

These were escorted by two files, formed of four compa nies of veteran non-commissioned officers, extending over a considerable space. Itnmediately behind the car were the officers bearing the insignia or the : Prince, on horseback. Next came the carriage Of the Princes, es corted on each side by General Count Colbert., Captain Hernoux of the navy, Commandant Baron Jamin, Com mandant Thierry of the artillery. Commandant Borel de Bretizel, and Captain Reille, Aides-de-Camp and or derly officers of their Royal Highnesses. Tins carriage was • peculiarly striking,. from its sombre - appearance, being entirely covered with black cloth, without any ar morial bearings or relief of - any kind, the servants in the deepest mourning, and the six horses by which it was drawn almost coneNtled by the black cloth, housings/ and plumes with which they were covered. No one could behold this carriage without participating in the grief of those whom it contained. • The Princes' coach was succeededed by the non-com• missioned officers, all members of the Legion of Hen Our, selected as bearers of the body from the car into the cathedral. They separated the coach of the Princes from four others, in the first of which was the Chan cellor of France, and the provisional President of the Elo2tive Chamber; in the second and third th - e King's Ministers; and in the fourth Marshals the Duke de Reggio and Count Sebastiani. The deputations of the Chambers of Peers and Deputies came next in fourteen mourning coaches and pair. A fifteenth carriage was appropriated to the secretaires des comtnandements of the Royal Princes. All the officers of the King's House hold rude between the coaches of the Marshals and those of the deputations of the two Chambers. To these officers were added the orderly officers and equerries .of the King and Princes, and the chevaliers d'honneur of the Queen and Princesses. After these came a long train of persons on foot, both civil and military. Among them was a deputation from the Ist regiment of Hussars, : merly commanded by the Duke of Orleans, brought up from Nancy by a telegraphic order. It was composed of its Colonel, the Count do Gouy, a chef d'Escadros, Captain, lieutenant, sub-lieutenant, three of the oldest quartermasters, and a certain number of brigadiers and privates. . - The procession closed with an immense body of the . National Guards and troops, as indicated in the pro gramme already given. In this order the solemn pro cession moved slowly along its melancholy way, through crowds of the people assembled at every spot whence a view of it could be obtained, every head being uncovered , 1 as the car with its illustrious burden passed, many show ' ing Imequivocal signs of grief. On the arrival of the procession at the Parris Notre Dame, the crowd by which it was accompanied was much struck with the magnificent appearance of the 'ex ,terior of the cathedral. Funeral decorations adorn the open space in front, as well as the exterior and interior . of the building. A range of massive square pillars, at equal distance, run from the church, seven at each side, the lines being terminated by two masts, 120 feet high, forming the open space into a quadrilateral entrance. The pillars are decorated on the top with large copes of black, embroidered with silver, and surmounted with bronze vases destined to burn incense. The two masts are ornamented above with silk streamers of white and black stripes alternately, enriched with the Prince's coat of arms. On each tower of the. edifice is erected a staff, fifty feet in height, bearing the abatial banner in black crape, sprinkled over with silver stars. 'rho deco ration of the portal rises to 100 feet above the ground, and mounts to the lower part of the colonnade of small pillars. On the top is placed an embroidered frieze of silver arches, and points in the gothic style ; beldw, there are three vast divisions, all ornamented with silver crosses at the angles, and the two extreme ones bearing at their centres two cypress crowns, with the inscriptions " Antwerp," " Algiers," whigt that in the centre, which covers the large • gothic rose of the pediment of Notre Dame, is decorated with the initials of the Prince, ornamented with a wreath of silver cy[resses and sur mounted by the ducal crown. At the height of the King's colonnade, on the cathedral, a border runs along covered.with stars, also surmounted with ducal crowns, and terminated by a deep silver fringe. At the three entrances of the church, t h e count erforts are 'covered with hangings of black drapery, bordered with mag,rtifi . - cent silver lace. Four shields occupy the 'place gene rally occupied by the curtain hooks, and support the tassels of the hangings. •• The body, on entering the church, was received by the Archbishop of Paris at the head of his clergy, the choristers chanting the be profundis. The Princes en tered the cathedral after the clergy. The coffin, carried by' the tWenty-four decorated sub-officers appointed. to that duty, and who formed part of the procession for that purpose, was placed on the catafalque, and covered with the large black pall. At the moment the body en tered the church, a salute of twenty-one guns . was fired, and the great bell of Notre Dame was tolled. The urn, which contained the heart of his Royal Highness, eras carried into the choir of the cathedral by General Mar hot. The Princes having placed themselves in a row-op posite the catafalque, vespers were recit e d by t h e Bi s h op, and chanted by the clergy of the metropolis. The cere mony lasted an hour. The inside of the cathedral presented a sad but mag nificent appearance. The immense body of the nave from the vault to above the galleries is entirely covered with black, decorated with a frieze of Byzantine orna ments in silver embroidery. The galleries are all hung. with black cloth, with which the ogives are also covered. Sepulchral lamps of silver give light to the galleries, and the inside aisles of the church arranged in steps I hung with black, and lighted up in she same way as the galleries, are enriched with a futn&ome frieze of silver embroidery. The transepts are arianged so as to form on the right and left; two extensive amphitheatres, in which the mem'rers of the Chambers of Peers and De pities are to sit. The upper part of the choir is deco rated like the nave ; the galleries of this part of the ()rimy!' are ornamented with borders of black cloth, sprinkled with stars, Greek cros as, and cyphers. A mosaic dazzling with embroidery, a frieze'•of the same description, and ninety silver ;lamps, orna ment the high altar in front of the crass. Banners are suspended in the spaces between the .columns, and herr the names of Oran, Coleah, •Blidah, Bouffarick. Douera, liihah, Bibans, where the Prince fought at the head of the army in Africa. In the centre of the church, in the part called the cross, rises a con tinued pedestal 58 feet on each side, on which are plaCed fourteen csiiatides of silver, supporting with thei r colos sal dimension; the raised platform on which is placed the coffin. An immense canopy, 106 feet high, orembroi dered velvet, lined with ermine, descends from the top of the vaulted ceiling on the sides oe the catafalque. The curtains are tied up to the pillars of the cross' by tri coloured flags. An enormous black flag hangs over the raisNl floor of the catafalque, and bears the single word Mascara. A flight of 25 steps, decorated with Candela bras and urns for incense, ascends to the entrance of the catafalque, and 300 tapers burn round the body. Fifty banners are suspended from the vaulted roof, bearing the cipher of F. P. 0. The globe of light is dazzling, for more than 200 lamps and lustres, 150 candelabras, 300 large church candles 1,800 tapers or lamps in th e c h o i r, carry the number oClights to about 6,000. We are happy in being able to kt •that notwith standing the iusmenve masses brought together on 'the cccasion, we have not heard of a single accident or un toward event c a l cu l a t e d t o di s t ur b t h e feeling inspired by the sadly solemn spectacle. On arriving at tie Arc de Triomphe tl e pros .scion divided on each side, the funeral cars alone pa sin; under the 'proud vault. On reaching the Tuileries a sad contrast was offered' to the scene through which the procession had 'previously passed ; the gardens were closed and deserted, every window of the palace was shut, and nothing indicative of life was to be observed throughput the resi • deuce. At the Louvre and the Palace of the Institut?. the same death -like stillness prevailed.—Galignaai. HARROGATE: OPENING OF. TILL NEW PUMP-ROOM,OVER TIIE SUL I'll tTlt WELL.
