XVIII.: The pillars and Gothic etches of the Church of St. Denis had disappeared under the funeral ornaments, and in their place an ancient basilic was represented of the lonic order, with gilded moulding* in the aisle and ex terior part of thechoir. igures of angels serving for candelabra, arsre placed on the tops of the.columns, and a large mourning band, extended from one to the other, crowned the pillars, and supplied the place of a high attic The architecture of the 'upper 'gallery of theperiphery of the church, which had been left uncovered in case of fire, was gold, and from it rose a large arch,hung with black, ornamented with pars de lie, in gold. 4iielleries had been constructed, according to custom, in the recess of the pillars. The supports of these galleries, and dra peries around them, were of velvet with silver fringe,' and or siamented•with flaws de lit, . with cyphers and coats of arms, embroidered in vellum, in lace, in gold,jsilver,:and silk. Above the altar, on which were -a multitude of wax candles, there war a large burning cross on black cloth 411 chandeliers, each with three rows of lights, were suspended from the roof of the church, which was further - illmmn ,red by candelabra placed on the column by two rows of lights, one above the entableture, the other above the attic, .and by the lights of tile bier. The number of candles was estimated at HAIL-- The catafhlco, placed In the middle of the nave, was a hand some piece of architecture of the Corinthian order, similar to the mausoleums which were raised b the architects of the Mk trotury to Francis I. and Henry IT' This mausoleum, very rioilly gilt and surmounted by a dome supporting a figure of religion, surrounded by eight figures of adoring angels, was occupied t y 4 gilt sarcophagus, partly covered by the pall, and bx the Royal canopy hi cloth of gold. Twelve chandelier% of gold suspended from the covering of the mausoleum, and '2l candelabra of gold and lapis lazuli, placed on • the steps of th, basement, illuminated the bier.

The road was covered with carriages. At ten' o'clock the Municipal Body, with the Pre fect of the Seine at their head, Members of the Courts and the Tribunals, arrived successively at the Royal Basilic. They mere escorted by the Gendarmerie of the Department of the Seine. These Bodies were conducted to their respective places. A great number . of - the..serrants and affectionate subjects of the King filled the galleries, °nee* excepted ; the benches had been reserved in the lower part of the nave for the Deputations of the Corporations of the Charcoal-men, of the Porters, and of the Danes de la fiche.

With his Royal High ness, the Duke of Orleans, entered, accompanied by a numerous • • suite, at theohead of which were the Duke dearemoille; the '• _Duke de Chevreuse, and the Duke de Brissac, appointed by 'the King to talc; at the proper time and place, in the Royal Sepulchre,. the Crown, the Sceptre and the symbol of justice, tifftich•till thenvere to remain , before the bier. The Dauphin and the Duke of Orleans took their places on the seat reserved for them, and the three'Peers i just named took 'their seats be side them. Madame la ()suptine appeared - at the same time in one part of the gallery-in the sanctuary, to which she was ac customed to go with her pious grief. The other part of this gallery wits occupied by the Duchess of Orleans, 11Iademoiselle •of Orleans, and by the two young Princes and two Princesses 11lthe Orleans family. The duty wasperformed by the Grand A moner of, France.—Aft er th e service for the occasion, the shoo or Itertnopolis pronounced the -funeral oration Of the late King ;,hut discourse lasted more than an boor, and pro duced a uswt profound tiensation. mass seas concluded by a Dc Prieurulir and a' Libera, which were chaunted, doping 'the - singing of Odell, five Bishops nominated by the King, • merformed the absolution* ro un d the body, prescribed by the itual. Afterwards they . repaired to th e mo u th of' the vault mi 'i n to which the coffin was nnedietely lowered by twelve of the •Gardes-du-corps.' The officiating Prelate threw a small glm. . . 4 4 of earth on, the.coliin, and come holy- water, pronouncing ate requiescat in pace. • ' Then the King at Arms approaching the mouth of the vault; 4tnd having taken otFhiccoat data% .his-esei . , *mica caduceus, ,and thrown them on the tomb, crying with. a loud voice, ".ticrid o do at Arms of France, no and - do yOurday.". Real& at Arms, thus called, came, and also threw their coats, of mail, their caps, and their staves on the tomb. Then the King at Arms called the Major-General - of the Royal Guards, and the Captains of the Guards, saying, " Duke de Ragusa, Major-General of the Royal Guards, bring the Ensign of the Guards ; Duke de Montemar. Duke de-Luxemboutg, Duke de Gramniont, Duke de Mouthy, Duke de Havre, bring the. standards of the companies under your charge." The flags and ensigns were successively deposited in the tomb, as well as the, battle-axe, the shield, the gloves, and the spurs of the late King. The balance, the sceptre, and the crown were also csmed into the tomb by the dignitaries appointed to take charge of them, on being summoned by the King at Arms ; , the Sword of state borne by the Duke de Polignac, and the Banner of France, borne by the Prince Talleyrand, were not deposited in the tomb, hut only presented. The Duke., d'Uzes put the end of his staff, as Grand Master, into the. vault, saying, ".The King is dead!" This was repeated three times by the King at Arms, who added, after the last time, " Let us pray •for:the.repose of his soul." Immediately, the whole of the Clergy and their assistants kneeled spon taneously, and. repeated a short prayer. The Duke d'Uzes, withdrawing . his staff, cried, ". Long live the -King I" and the King at Arms, after repeating the same three times, add ed, "Long live King Charles X. of this name by the Grace of God, King tif France and Navarre, Most Christian, 'Most August, Most Powerful, our very honoured Lord and good Master , to whom* God - grant a very long and a very happy , lift. Let every bpd'/ cry Long live the King." One of the Heivilds placed in gallery , of the organ, turning towards the nave, cried "'Long live -the' King." The persons present had only waited for this signal to make „the roof ring with their acclamations, which were repeated several times mingled with the sounds of the drums, and the firing of cannon and muskets, which were fired out of the church. It was now femr o'clock. The Princes retired to the interior of the Abbey, whence 'they soon set out for - Paris, and the multitude retired by the great gates, which,. were riot less ornament i ed than the interior of the church. The front of the Church represented three gates of imagined architecture, in perfect 'harmony with the towers, and was of great height. It was covered' with black ornamented jleure de lie in gold ; a portico,. consisting of twelve columns, also in the Gothic style, to which was attached a black suite of hangingi; surmounted with a stripe, filled with escutcheons, and orna mented with pure dk lis in silver, had the douhla advantage of concealing the defortnities of the porch, and rendering the access to.the cluirch doors more easy to those persons who were appointed togo in. All these magnificent and immense la bours, conceived and executed -in such a-short time, do infinite honour to,the Intendant of the Ceremonies . to whom alone the direction of them was codfitled,• and to 1 31 M. Leeuintre and Hittorf, the architects, according to whose designs, and under whose directions,, these- works vereexecuted. The effect of the interior of the church cannot.be imagined but by those who saw It; and particularly by the splendour-of the gilding, and the profusion of lights, skilfully tempered -by the serious character of the decorations, and a majestic sort-of simplicity, which, in the midst of so much luxury,: did not exclude a melancholy impression, and left room for the reigning characteristics of a funeral pomp. The Mass,' composed by M. Cherubini, the Su perintendent of the music, was, in every respect -worthy of the high reputation of this great Composer.

IFrotrs Me ?Notts. ] It will balr_ratifying t - O - thii promoters of Oti. ental literature, and the friends of the natives of Ilindostan, to be informed that the Governmentin Bengal have issued regila tions, which, if strictly enforced, must prove a greater stimultta to every Englishman proceeding to India to learn the native languages. Attempts have been made at different times In England by some Proprietors of• East India Stock, to induce the Court of Directors to eatabliSh a rule that all their military ser vants before going to India should be instructed in the ['Mos tante or colloquial langitage of India, which would mike them useful on their arrival' there, and render their services of much more value to the , Company and the public than they ever can be in the state of 'ignorance of • the native languages in which officers do go nut to the Company's service, and have generally remained even after many year? service in India. It is usual for. an public establishments and houses of business to give a preference to, and to select those ser vants best qualified for the duties of their office; and if, for example, a correspondence is to be carried on with France or Germany, a knowledge of French and German is considered a requisite qualification ; or if agents are to be sent out to Spain or Portugal to perform important duties there, such. men will be selected as can speak and read the Spanish and Portuguese languages: bit it is lamentable to think that the East India .Company . have long . acted and still act on prin ciples contrary to thos e :-of every other company or set of men in the world, and. wei regret to say that the Board of Con troul, whose duty it ie to superintend the welfare of India, and attend to the . prOt)ei performanCe of those important duties by properly qualified. servants of the Company, per mit such conduct. The East India Company have, per haps, 150,000 natives of.,lndia in arms commanded by Eng lish officers, in the proportion, as has lately been stated, of only from five ;to nine of "'English officers to a batta lion of 1,000 natives in the fiend.; and as all routine of duty in these battalions,' and also in the field, is carried on by these English officers, the efficiency of these native troops, for every purptiire in peace or war, must be more •or lets per fect according at the English officers can understand what the natives have to represent, or what the Officers have to make known to them; It might therefore be expected that the Com: pany would require their English officers to have some know ledge of the language of 'the natives they are to -command and govern. No such thing; for when it was proposed in the Court of Proprietors', thaterery one of the three hundred or four hundred cadets, sent out 'annually to India to become officers of the native corps, should be obliged to qualify themselves for such duties, by 'canting the flindustanee language before lenv ing England, the Cowt of Directors opposed the proposition, and ever have, conttary io the welfare of. India, continued to send out youths ignorant .of the native language, and conse quently unfit for the dutili that devolve on them on their land ing in In/Ilea-Jr we had France to govern by an army of Frenchmen, commanded and officered by English, it would be supposed next to madpesa to send over such of our countrymen ae could neither read, speak, or understand French, to be officers in that army. We should conclude, and with justice, that the utility of the officers would be much lessened by their ignorance of French ; and every mouth would be loud in complaining of the Government who acted so absurd and chievous a part. We -should expect that the mistakes and errors, arising from. such ignorance would greatly injure the public service. Such, however, is the conduct of the East India Directors as regards India; they have persevered in their re fusal to enact regulations proper for the qualifications of .the cadets as respects languagis, and the greatest, and often 1r reparable evils arises to the officers themselves, and to the public interests in India , fro m such proceedings. It is true (and so far they ought to receive credit), that the Court of Di rectors do require all the medical men to acquire a know ledge of Hindostanee before they can take up their appoint ments-for India: But the-very fact that they require medical men to do so is a very heavy charge against them, fbr not or dering their military servants to do the same. We believe that Dr. Gilchrist, who has had the charge of that department, has acquitted himself . very hoiu3urably and efficiently ; and by his exertions much has been 'deem to teach cadets and others pro-1 seeding to India, respecting 'whom the Court of Directors ap pear so culpably indifferent. The interests of India require, nay, the interest of Officers requires, and common sense points out, that the system should be changed, and that no per son should be allowed to go out in the Company's service as military Officers; who are-not qualified to converse with the na tives on their arrival in that country. What has given origin to these observations' . is the receipt from Bengal of an ab stract of the orders lately published there respecting the qualifications required of officers for certain regimental and staff' offices : such regulations do credit to the Government in India, although very late in taking place, and reflect disgrace on the ruling *powers in England, for having so long refused the proposition so often made to them—t• That every one of their servants sent to India should at least be acquainted with tile colloquial language of that country."—lt may perhaps give A spur to the industry of those who are going out as cadets -to India to learn, that interpreters are to be attached to the King's regiments in India ; and that the Commander-in-Chief take's a very great interest in every thing that relates to the acquirement of the Hindostanee and Persian. It may be pro Per to state, that four or five years ago, Dr. Gilchrist, with that-enthusiasm which has marked his ca reer as-a philologist,:- and /rendered his long labours so useful to the Indian publi4, offered . to the Duke of York to teach the colloquial language free or. expenco, to one or all the officers of every King's regiment 4fittg. to India ; but we believe lie was never 'favoured 'wills L, a . e . An war to that liberal and va luable offer.." The gentletnenlift India are beginning to see the neces sity of doing something iS l itverds what Dr. Gilchrist proposed to do, as necessary for the efficiency and comfort of the King's troops, and the natives of India.

SUPPLY OF WATER. Mr. FavEta. reported a serious grievance that occurred in the Ward of Aldgate, by want of water at a fire, which last week destroyed two houses. This had been represented to him by the beadle. When he contracted with the New River Company, on the destruction of the Old London Bridge Water-works, the answer of the Chairman of the New River Company, whether they could supply London with water, was, that he could not only supply it, but deluge it with water. Ile moved a resolution, that the matter be referred to the Bridge House Committee. It was his duty to make the complaint, and the Court would dispose of it as it pleased. Mr. S. DIXON said, this wen not a solitary instance of want Air. I 1 petition motion of water at fires, and he wished %the motion, therefore, to be was m as l it presentedei made more general.

He did not wish to enter i nto any complaints against Mr. Lindsay, or the fitness of Alr. Jackson, whom he had appointed to fill the office of the former. The petitioner had maintained an upright character, which was still dear to him, and he prayed to have the vote of censure, passed against him, rescinded, and that his conduct might be inves tigated. - Alr. SAVAGE asked the petitioner whether he had not said that Mr. Lindsay was not, nor never should be, his Deputy ? Answer--I certainly said he was not my Deputy. Mr. SAVAGE asked if he had said, that if the Court inter fered between him and his Deputy, he would move, •in the Court of King's Bench for a mandamus against the city ?—I never did. Mr. Jastrs said, the question was, whether the Bailiff' had the right of appointing his Deputy—not whether he had a right of revocation. The Bailiff appeared before them, feeling deeply the vote of censure, and to explain his conduct ; not to ask them to concur in the appointment of Mr. Jackson, or the dis missal of Mr. Lindsay. He contended that Alr; ackson had acted as Deputy Bailiff with ese knowledge of the members of 'the Court, and therefore Mr. Princep could not have been guilty•of a breach of privilege in his appointment, and should not have been visited with their displeasure, Surely the Court would not think of binding the Bailiff to continue Mr. Lindsay in his office, in whom he had no confidence, or to remain with out a Deputy at all. He hoped they would do justice to the petitioner, and therefore moved that the vote of censure be rescinded, and the eonduct of the Bailiff be referred to the-Com mittee of General Purposes. Mr. Wur.eu rose to second the motion, when The LORD MAYOR said, no motion could be entertained for rescinding a vote already passed, without a notice, according to a standing order. Mr. JAMES trusted they would take the discussion then, ash was a matter of the greatest importance to the Bailiff: Mr. Deputy Ro u Tit presented a petition from Mr. Lindsay, denying the statements in the High Bailiff's petition. An amendment was then moved, that a report from the n read, which 'recommended the Court not Com mittee upon former memorials from those- parties be now read; appointment of another Deputy, as applied for b two y ) the calnle cw'r f te l ia lt P:n i ° l Brt ift gti f ese a tt i le.T the Court agreed with the same, nearly unanimously. RECTOR OP IT. PETER'S COUNIIILT.. The Court then proceeded to the election of a Rector for St. Peter's, Cornhill, in the room of the late Roy. Thos. Roberts. The candidates were—the Rev.

The Macadamizing of the Old Bailey has been proceeding .with ail possible despatch, in ordee not to interfere with the holding of the present Sessions. A SINGULAR CUSTONG-..-A singular custom is observed at conferring the freedom 'of the burgh of Selkirk. Four or five bridles, such as are used by shoemakers, are attached to the seal of the burgess ticket. These the new made burgess must dip iu his wine, in token of respect for the ce Souters of Selkirk." This ceremony is on no account dispensed with. The ancient and re ceived tradition affirms, that the Souters of Sel kirk distinguished themselves in the battle of Flodden, SO in number, and headed by their town-clerk they joined their Monarch on his en trance into England. JAMES ( pleased with the appearance of this gallant troop, knighted the leader, WM. BRYDON,E, upon the field of battle, from which few of the men of Selkirk were des tined to return. They distinguished themselves in the conflict, and were almost all slain. The few survivors, on their return home, found, by the side of Lady-wood Edge, the corpse of a female, virile to one of their fellow-comrades, with a child sucking at her breast. " In memory of this latter event," continues the tradition, " the present arias of the burgh bear a female holding a child in her arms, and seated on a sarcophagus decanted with -a , Scottish lion."----(lnverness Courier.) PORTUGAL. The following is an extract of a fetter dated Lisbon, Oct. 18:—On the 11th of this month, tin, Council of State met to discuss the commu nications made by the Portuguese and Brazilian Commissioners assembled hi London. 4t is said that the acknowledgment of the independoce of Brazil has been decided favourably, notwitlistand ing the peat opposition bf the Prime Minister Pamplona, and of the Archbishop Evora. It is difficult to conceive there can be tiny division of opinion on this subject, at a time when the wel fare of opinion on this subject, at a time when the welfare of Portugal is identified 'with a recon ciliation with Brazil. Had the Very Reverend Archbishop or the Minister of State possessed ships rotting in the Tagus, or manufactories,with out a sail. for their productions, they would en tertain a different opinion, and not thus sacrifice the best interests of the nation. The declining state of the trade of Portugal will, however, be better understood by the following account of the manufactories now existing in Porto gnishing these now at work and those idle :--- ;al, whicia are Description of 31:inufactory.
