land.- Oa the otheti unpopular is the Government now, that its resources are certainly cramped. They can place no dependence on their servants. In short things are drawing to 4 crisis." In our Paper of yesterday, we mentioned the case Of PETER MCREGoR and JOHN Ross, who were convicted at the Liverpool Sessions, of having unlaw fully opened graves and carried away various dead bodies ; they were sentenced to pay a fine of 25/. to the KING, and to be imprisoned twelve months in the House of Correction. Far be it from us to stand up for that class of per sons called resurrection-men, but there doubtless is a strange inconsistency frequently to be observed amongst mankind. The crime of murder scarcely excites more abhorrence than that of raising dead bodies, and yet' every sensible person will admit that it is ab solutely necessary for medical men to dissect dead bodies in order to acquire a real knowledge of their profession for the benefit of the living. But how are subjects to be obtained ? It is ridiculous to talk of the 1.) c: 4 -lies of criminals given for dissection in cases of murder. The whole number throughout the King dom would not, we suspect, be sufficient for one course of lectures on anatomy. And yet all men feel a na tural and justifiable horror at the•idea of having a ruf fian disturb the sacred remains of some dear and la mented friend, however indifferent they may be about their own, fate on that score. W e are inclined to think that much of the abhorrence felt towards dissecting-room s arises from the shameful Practic e which is said to prevail in some_of them of treating the mortal remains of fellow -creatures with a le • vity and indignity quite uncalled fOr, and quite un- Aecessary for the purposes of . dissectionz' We really think that some legislative enactment might go far to remedy this evil and its Consequences.- Public lecturers on Anatomy might . be called on to giv e a solemn assurance that they would at all times collect the remains of subjects =for the purpose of in terring them decently, instead of employing them in feeding wolves or eagles, which. are sometimes to he seen in the neighbourhood of the Theatres of _Anatomy. Something really ought to he done, and we trust that Parliament will not consider the matter below their notice. We Certainly should feel very awkward if allmedical nl_e.n were to m a k e common cause of it throughout the Kingdoin, and refuse to visit any sick person, till some measures were taken for enabling them to obtain subjects without running the.risk, as they. do at pre sent, of being torn in. pieces by some ,infuriated mob If there: is no necessity for the trade of the resurrection n ntn, then sentence him to death if caught wantonly vio lating the mansions of the dead; but if a person feels con l'inced that surgeons must have bodies to dissect, and if he can. point out no better means of providing them, let him satisfy himself with protecting the remains of 114 !awn relations and friends—and not Intsr himself about others. It may sound very fine to cry out against resurrection men, b u t it i s not man l y in those W ho know that the evil mi!st exist, to encourage even tile ami a bl e prejudices of persons who are l ess a bl e t o Judge of suc h matters. -the present condition of our , streets reflects little credit upon . the attention of the Parish Authorities, Who are bound by a late Act of Parliament to see them cleaned every morning before nine o'clock.

Yesterday afternoon an account was broughtWfarosrn Egmond that A &masted ship had approached the t ue Morning, about a league and a half C o ast,to at liix ill of that place; the ship fired signals of distress, the north , Certainly Batavia, to have troops on board, and yesterday evenin g r it e ' a nd seemed l i i n own'that this was the Wassenar, Captain Spengler c _ 4t4 via, with the battalion of Volunteers, commanded b y M ajor ` I X Van Spengler. His Excellency the Governor of No rth ttioellend,:writes last night to Egmond, to take such measures a s cireureeteues required. Yesterday, already, hie Excelleuey ordered the North Holland steam bOat, to save as many of the persons on board as possible. Nothing can yet be positively affirmed respecting the state in which the ship.is. Twenty-eight persons bad come on board yes terday evening. Part of them had been in the barge to carry a rope on shore, but it seems that the rope broke on board the Wassencer. All attempts to get the safety boat through the breakers having failed, preparations were making at Egmond to approach the ship, if possible at day-break with fishing boats. A large ship was yesterday seen off Egruond, in good condi tion, steering towards the Texel, supposed to be the Waterloo. HAARLEM, JAN. 19. The following are the particulars of the loss of the Wassencer : —After having suffered great damage, especially the falling of the main -mast, and in vain endeavoured to come to an anchor, all the cables hdving broken, the ship seems to have drifted at the mercy of the waves, and struck on the third bank north of Eg mond. The first shock was so violent that the hold was in an instant filled with water, and a number of persons, supposed to he about 60 or 70, were drowned. When they approached the coast, and were in sight of the light houses, they fired guns as signals of distress, and took measures to carry a rope on shore. They believe that a hogshead to which a rope was fastened did get en shore, but fell into wrong bands. Lieut. Kuntz made a fruitless attempt to get On shore with some men, and it is feared he perished ; some other persons got on shore in the barge and a couple of boats, but without being able to fix a rope from the ship to the shore. The safety boat could not get through the breakers,' but saved some men who had fallen overheard from the barge. During the whole of Tuesday, the people on board hoped in vain that one of the fishing-boati of which there were numbers at Egmond, would come out, and it was not till Tuesday night that an attempt was made by Mr. Krapp Nellingman, receiver of taxes, with a pink belonging to M. Medebrink, and with his per mission, he had the good fortune to reach the wreck, and to save as many persons as his vessel would hold. The Governor of North Holland has taken every practicable means to maintain order, and to relieve those who are saved; awd who are iu the most deplorable condition. Several vesseFs =were sent as soon as possible from the Texel, which, in the course of Wednesday, brought off the remainder of the people.' The wea ther being favourable, . the wreck has kept together longer than .was expected ; so that boats got to it yesterday, and succeeded, as we bear, in saving some goods. Prince Frederick has given orders to supply the troops with clothing, and the Minister of the Marine has ordered all the Mea sures which' the occasion demands. It is hoped that the number of those who have lost their lives does not-much exceed a hundred ; that Lieutenant Mintz is the has perished, and that-all the officers of the. otrno - loy t P i 'as s Fo alv n : fi ffi dti cer n w got to y affirmed on chore.

The speech _delivered by the Bishop. of `Tutu, in the name of the Infanta Regent of PORTUGAL Oil Consequence of the sudden illness of her ROYAL HIGHNESS), on the opening of the General Cortes, will be found in another column. It is not the speech which we should have expected from so spirited a PRINCESS 011 the present crisis of public affairs. In stead of candidly referring to the state of rebellion in which the greater part of her kingdom was at that mo ment plunged, and to the measures she had adopted. for its suppression ; instead of dwelling at length on the promptitude with which Great Britain had fulfilled the stipulations of existing treaties—or boldly stating her intentions to re-organize the army under Yield Marshal Lord BERESFORD ; instead of energetically calling on the Cortes to unite with her in vigorous measures for• the complete annihilation of the .rebel forces in "her kingdom ; this . 'mini and.latbured biro duction, betrays an evident fear to speak out plainly on any of these pressing topics, and a desire rather to al lude darkly to public opinion than to assume with con fidence that it is on the side of the Constitution, of which her ROYAL HIGHNESS is at the head. It en deavours to tall the Cortes to a sense of their duty ; by reference to the conduct of their ancestors, in days long gone by, rather than by expressing a reliance upon their support from principles now in operation, or from at tachment to the existing order of things; and it directs their attention to objects fitted for any other than thepre sent extraordinary occasion. In fact, it seems to us, on the whole to be a speech more suitable for a period of profound peace and quiet ; than for such an epoch in the history of Portugal as that which existed at the moment when it was delivered—a moment which, we should have supposed, would have lighted up the energies of even the Portuguese, when insurrection was stalking .over the kingdom—when a British fleet rode under the walls of Lisbon, and a British army was in the very act of landing, for the protection of her liberal institutions. If language calculated to excite enthusiasm, might ever be used in a Royal Speech, the INFANTA REGENT might with propriety have adopted it on this occasion. The Cortes and the Nation might have caught the flame, and one generous ardour might have animated all the States of the King dom. Heavy and laboured, however, as it is, this Speech can do little to stir up the feelings of the people, or to rouse the native lethargy of the persons to whom it is addressed.

Yesterday a Commission, 'under a Writ de • Lunatico Laqui ri,ndo,• was opened before CoMmitisioners, Moire. Whittnarsh, Finnermere, and Wellfit, -to inquire whether James King, Esq.; of Plaistow, in Essex, be of sound mind, or a lunatic, &c. Mr. SCARLITT, •Mr. Ot away, and . Mr. WAKEFIELD, were Counsel for the Petitioner, and Mr. DE MAN and Mr. BARKER appeared for the Lunatic. ME. SCARLETT, in his opening address, detailed several acts, and called several witnesses, all of whose evidence went far to prove that James King was a lunatic, and had been so since the death of his father, which took plabe somewhere about 1823. After several witnesses had been examined to this effect, the Court adjourned. THIS DAY. The Commission appointed to enquire into the state of mind of Mr. James King, resumed their enquiry, this day, at Gray's Inn Coffee-house, several witnesses were examined ; their testimony was in general of the same tendency. We subjoin the most im portant. Thomas Greening, examined by Mr. SCARLFTT—I am a farmer, residing in Gloucestershire. I know James Smith very well; he held 3 little tenements with an acre and half of land of me, at 14/. a year. I knew Smith's daughter before she came to London. She was in service with a farmer in Gloucester. - I saw her in 1815, in a puhlic-house in Gloucester, with her two sisters; her father, and all the family were very poor. I cannot say that Mr. King knew how they lived before he married Miss Smith, but after he had married Miss Smith, he reported that the family was highly respectable ; I re collect meeting Mr. King, in company with Mr. John Lord Smith, in Gloucestershire, where be proposed to sell him a colt, though King never saw Mr. Smith before, he quarrelled with him ; after a few minutes conversation he told Smith lie was a liar ; Mrs. Smith reconciled them ; I never saw him before that day, and I thought him a very odd man ; he used to ask the Caine question several times over ; he was very boisterous, and I did not know what to think of him : before his marriage he used to be talking of a new building which he proposed to erect, he purchased a great variety of cattle very dear, he had no place to keep them; but he bought a rick of hay, fed them for a time, awl sold them again to a butcher, and pur chased a great quantity of the meat and gave it away; he at one time killed six sheep and gave them away ; at an other time, he bought 40 cocks and hens, and gave them away also, and he came once to my garden, pulled the weeds, and kept them separately, in order, as he said, to feed his pigs with. At another time he cut away all the hedge of the garden, except the briars, which be preserved, because he was fond of blackberries. He bought two oxen for 40 guineas each, anti a sow with pigs, and sent fa London for linseed and treacle to boil potatoes to feed them. Ile sold these all again for very little. I recollect one day, as we were going up to the farm, Mr. Smith called Ann Reeves, (a little girl of ten years of age) his hunstman, then said Mr. King, I shall buy her a.hunting jacket; and accordingly he bought a scarlet jacket for her, and took her out to hunt. Cross-examined by Air. Dentnari:--Mr. King-was very muck at tached to Miss Smith before he married hie; she was verybsndsome, but she was not so fond , of 'him as be was of her. persuaded Mary Ann Smith to come here as a witness, but I did not tell her that she should haven pound a day while she should be in London; the paper now produced is the amount which 'Mr. Smith settled with me, he complained that there was an overcharge of 21. 18s. 1 do not recollect why I signed it twice, or whether it was before or after the word overcharge was written on the back of it, but I did not charge him more than I would charge any other man. John Thomas, a tailor, from Gloucester, examined by Mr. BICKF.RSTETti-I made a red hunting-jacket for a little girl, by the orders of Mr. King; he said he should get it made on the same day that he ordered it, as he was going to see the Duke of Wellington, and his Majesty ; so that he wished to take his favourite little girl with him, dressed in the jacket. I made it with in the time required; he did not call for it, and I too k it to his house you going, i a use; lemettke it back, ri mebeforel wenticall fo in, and it ndsaid " d-- n you, where are myself., I also ; Mr. King ordered a hunting jacket for himself, awl found fault with every thing' I brought him, without looking at it at I saw him dri v i n g in a low cart drawn by a mule, he was s itti ng in a chair in the cart, for what purpose I know not, he some times had a d o g an d played with it. John Hasla n d s e xamined by Mr. GUality—l am a cloth mercer, I recollect Mr. King coming to my s h op i n Gloucester, in 1823, a n d or d er a suit of clothes for Smith, his father-in-law, he ordered ab ou t 40/. worth for that family ; . Li, manner was in coherent, and lie spoke at random ; I heard hi re speak of his hunt ing on H o u ns l ow -h ea th, and speak of h av i ng made• acquaint ances of Noblemen ; neither of those two -last witnesses was examined. • , OLNEY.—Great alterations are going on in this place, so celebrated as the favourite residence of the poet Cowper. The mansion of the Throckmortons has passed into strange hands, and the spot in which the melancholy bard spent many of his least clouded hours, will speedily be deprived of great part of those interesting relics, which have so long rendered it consecrated ground,—Maccles,field Herald. FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS. The Lord Chancellor, accompanied by Sir Charles Wetherell, left town soon after four o❑ Saturday afternoon, to at•. tend the late Duke of York's funeral. - It is remarked as extraordinary that the house of a Noble Marquis in Piccadilly displayed not the slightest token of respect on the day of the Royal funeral, even though the mourn ful procession passed that way. Many of the streets at the west end of the town ex hibited no tokens of respect on the day of the Duke of York's funeral. In Wimpole-street, for instance, scarcely one shutter was closed. If every person, upon the present occasion, were to wear a crape hat-band, at a very small expense, a marked token of respect would be paid to the memory of the deceased Duke, and a very sensible impulse given to an important branch of trade. The household of the late Duke of York removed on Friday from Rutland. House, in Arlington-street, to the resi dence of his late Royal Highness, in South Audley-street. Mr. Secretary Peel left-Windsor on Saturday night in company with the Duke of Wellington, on a visit to his Grace at his seat at Strathfieldsay, Hampshire. Earl Bathurst returned to town on Saturday night - Irons Windsor. Baron Stierneld, - the Swedish Minister, transacted business yesterday with Earl Bathurst at the Colonial Office. Viscount Melville transacted bUsiness yesterday at the Office of the Searetary of State for Colonial Affairs. Sir H. Davy, Bart. P.R.S. has left town for the Con.- tinent, by tire advice of his Physicians, on account of the ill state of his health. THOMAS WENTWORTH BEAUMONT, Esq. M.P. is at prpsent on a visit to Northumberland. - We do not wonder that a 'certain eminent King's Counsel sbotild be anxious to disclaim the matrimonial Paul;• Pryism of at► officious namesake. • The important question of alimony in Lord and Lady Portsmouth's case shortly cornea on in the Arches Court. Mr. Kean is engaged by Mr. Harris for the Dublin Theatre, for 'eighteen nights, and will make his appearance about the 10th of February. It is said. that Laporte has accepted an engagement at the Dublin Theatre, and is very soon to make his appearance bere.—Dublin Paper. • The following are the principal actors engaged for the English Theatre in the Rue Chantereine:—Mr. Kemble, bro ther of the - tragedian ; Johns (not Jones), a petit maitre ; Liston aid Farren, comedians ; Mesdames Try (query Tree) genteel comedy ; Davenport, an old woman ; Guihle, waiting-maid ; and Miss Kely, for lovers' parts. The theatre is to open next spring. —French Paper. In the course of last week, a young man was induced to search for game during the night, on the lands of R. F. Brad shaw, Esq., - of Halton Hall, near Lancaster, when he was ob served by two of the keepers, one of whom, without, we under stand, even calling on him to surrender, fired at him as he was flying from the grounds. He immediately fell, and on his rising, was fired at again. He was examined by the gamekeepers, and one -said to the other, " he is dead enough," and they left him on the ground all night. He had sufficiently strength to crawl to the highway, and on the following morning be was humanely taken to his own home by a farmer in the neighbourhood. We understand his life is despaired of; he is a young unmarried man.— Wist morland Advertiser. SOMETHING LIKE A BULT..—A good deal of amusement was afforded at a dinner party on Wednesday last, by a gentleman, who is no blunderer, exclaiming, after blaming the Boroughreeve and Constables for not' declaring Saturday a holiday, " why thermight easily advertise. in the Saturday's papers, that the market will be held on Friday !"—Manchester Gazette. . .- A GOOD CHARACTER:-Samuels, who was con victed at tie New Bailey on Thursday, for receiving stolen goods, brought one of his own nation to speak to his- character, who swore that " Mishter Samuels was the honestest man in all the globe." " A pretty character he gives the rest of mankind," said a gentleman at the counsel's table. Another of the nation on being asked what was Samuels character, said, perhaps properly enough, when he considered his own, " Vhy he is a very coot man. I don't know nothing at all about him !"—Manchester Gazette. A LIsBoN DINNER. —The regular Lisbon Din ner is, as I am informed, fur I have not seen it in its exclusive purity, thus prepared.—Take a piece of fresh beef; ditto of pork ; a great Bologna sausage ; carrots, turnips, cabbages, potatoes, and a superftceation of garlic : cover them close, boil and stew them all the day long. Take off the soup, throw some rice into a bason, and serve it up thick. Oh, Mrs. (Masse!—Oh, Dr. Kitchener ! if we had your kitchen here ! Take your cabbage, put it in a large dish or bowl, lay the beef and pork upon it— take the sausage, put it on a plate, with more garlic—serve them up after the soup. Take a fish (John Dorey, bream, or soles), fry them in oil and garlic, serve them the same way. Finish your dinner with a boiled fowl and rice, or a small piece of roast beef—the former is more classical. Wash all down with a few glasses of Lisbon wine, at sixpence a bottle, or port wine at eigh teen-pence. Wipe your mouth, say grace, get up, go home, or to the deuce—for this day lam done with you. Wash your mouth under a fountain, or only speak to a lady who has dined at the same table. DOGS AT LISBON.—In every street I passed through, dirty-looking dogs were straying about for their pre carious livelihood, or stretched at length sleeping in the sun. I never saw such villanous-looking curs. They have all the raggedness of the English sheep-dog, with the hang-gallows aspect of the Irish mongrel. They neither own a master, nor are worth the owning. They sleep on the quay side, under the sun, or within the porches of houses during the day, kicked and cuffed by all in whose way they lie. At dark they sally out in hordes for the food which the thrifty people provide them from the upper windows. It is fearful to hear them in the dead of the night growling over their suppers, or howling with hunger as they course along in bands of eight or ten, disappointed of the usual commons in one place, and going to explore for it in a did taut quarter. Should you meet them on those occasions, and one of them take a fancy to the calf of your John Bull ox-fed leg, cut him down if you have a sword—shoot him if you have a pistol-Lbut attempt not to strike him with a stick, unless you are certain to despatch him at the first blow. They are not alarmed at a bludgeon, and turn upon it, and upon the user of it, in an instant. You have but to stoop as if to pick up a stone for the purpose of flinging at your enemy, to make him lower his tail and fly. It is not probable you will ever have occasion to try your valour with them, for they have more of the qualities of the cur and the coward about them than that of fierceness or courage, and they are so kicked upon by man by day, that they have a wholesome terror of him even in the dark. The number of these dogs has decreased to a great extent within two or three years. PUPPIES AT LISBON.—After the dogs, a puppy just comes in place. The Portuguese dandy has his pretensions to the attribute as well as any Jessamy in Pall-mall. Here is one of a very scarce class, to suit us. The hat is of a high crown,, much wider at the top than bottom, with a leaf of proportionate dimensions. The coat is after the last English fashion, of black cloth, and the trousers of the same taste, but wider over the in step than we have them, and not confined by a strap. The waist coat is the grand affair on which the distinctive elegance is be stowed. This young man's is made of silk, with broad stripes of various colours. I have seen ribands of the same pattern nearly, in the bonnet of a Cheapside beauty. It is composed of every hue of the rainbow, blended into each other. It is no doubt very elegant here, but to an English eye it is far too gaudy for a gen tleman's wearing. My Fidalgo was evidently proud of his. Pray Sir, what is a Fidalgo 2 He is a nobleman—the son of a noble—a man of estate, of land, or rank, in this country.—The gentleman in question was a fashionable youth of two-aud-twenty, wearing short-cropped mustachios, no whiskers, his dark locks made up to a negligent large curl at the left side of the head, with eyes of a deep hazel, full of spirit and intelligence. The absence of whiskers, and darkness of the hair, mustachios, and eye-brows, gave to the real sallow of his cheek an appearance of paleness, which, Lord Byron tells us, has more of " thought than woe." While I stood taking Fidalgo's picture, a servant brought out his horse. The groom, if groom he were, was clad in a long pea-green frock coat, with an abundance of silver lace on the collar and front, and a further quantity of similar lace on the bands and folds of his hat. The horse was small, but well formed, all black, with a long flowing tail, cut into a sort of square clump at the end. There was a crimson saddle-cloth, and then a saddle a foot high in front and behind—more like a harness-maker's tree to show horse furniture on than your English saddle --making a seat as secure as a child's go-cart. The stirrups were like parish poor_ boxes, gaily chased and plated, in which each foot was thrust, lying securely out of sight, LAW INTELLIGENCE*. - . COURT. OF OIANCERY.—(ToO DAr.)

James Bedgood was opposed by Mr. Pollock, on behalf of : James Braithwaite. The Learned Counsel cross r examined the . insolvent very se verely, concerninvsome property which he had formerly possessed in Hall-street, Manchester. It consisted of houses, and a smith's chop ; insolvent had sold them to a Mr. Croft, for 1001., though . he had told a Mr. Woreley, that they were worth 100/. a year. He had tried to mortgage them, hut could not get any one to advance money on them. He had also pus iessed some houses between Stockport and Manchester. He had also sold them. Had said all his household furniture for three - pounds some odd shillings. After some further examination the Court declared that he was entitled to the benefit of the Act, and ordered him to be discharged forthwith. WILLIA.:% , _C9ODWIN TOULINSON. This insoleent's debts iunounted to pearly 3,0001. It came out however, in his examinatioo, that he had married a widow whose he supposed possessed property at o the . time, but found out after wards that she owed about 3,900/., and had no property. In solvent only owed 90/., and was arrested for his wife's dehts. The Court, under all the circumstances, granted his petition:. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.- 7 -(Tins DAY.) Sir R.

He denied above all, the . assertion that the Speaker of the: House of Commons had been insulted, he himself having wont- partied him to the entrance of the Dean's yarksrithout any inlet circumstance having occurred. - Hubbard, Gahm, and Smith,_threepersoni-who were brought up last Friday, for picking a gentleman'sTocket of a watch, were this day brought up for further examination, Mr. Harmer appear ing on their behalf. Smith was discharged, but the other two were ordered to be detained till next Friday; in expectation that the owner of a watch, which they were suspected of haiing taken, might in the meantime come forward. The watch is a single silver cased one, with only one hand, bearing the manufacturer's name (Brequet), upon the face of it. An application was made by the parish officers of. Micklehatn, in Surrey, for an order to Wm. Porter, a labouring man, residing in their parish, to support the children of his sons. The applica tion was grounded upon an Act of the 43d of Elizabeth, by which.. the father or grandfather of poor, old, laMe, blind, impottat.,or other persons unable to work, is bound to support them, if a bl e . Now it appeared that William Porter has lately ree, , ,•,ivid al egus , of 2001., of which he has already e received, an. which, w h en . ti le .. whole is paid, will probably amount to rewards of 1.,12001..; ar4 the parish officers conceived that, with such means, be might maintain his children and grandchildren, .without snaking therm chargeable to the parish. A desultory conversation' hereupon took place, the flubstace of which is comprised in the following observations of Sir itiottaan . BIRNIE Here is a strong hearty man, willing, but unable,, to preaurs employment, and, when empinied, unable to maintain his chil dren out of his wages. The father, Upwards of 60, his a lefiaty left him; he is willing to assist his children, and it appears he has assisted them ; but I think it would be unjust to reduce the old man to the same state of pauperism with his c ons. His son does not come under the description of the Act; he is neither lame, blind, nor unable to work, and the case, hoWever hard it may fail upon the parish, is one brought upon the comity by the impo litic and demoralizing system of the farmers, The parish officers are bound to find the man employment, and it is only in case he refuses to work that I can afford them assistance. OLYMPIC THEATRE. A new piece, called " The Manager's Son," was brought out last night, and received general approbation. It is a very laughable production, a n d promises to bi of permanent attraction. The house was, as usual, crowded. COBURG THEATRE. The elegy spoken last night at this theatre was destroy ed as to effect by the voice of the Prompter being con tinually heard assisting Mrs. Egerton. We notice this cir cumstance on account of its singularity, but she did not do justice to the author, the theatre, the audience, or herself. The other performances, the same as last week, were as well supported as usual. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, JAN. 21. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Yesterday, the day appointed for depositing the remaioft of the lute illustrious Duke of York in the Royal Cemetery tt.': Windsor, was observed in this town with a-solemnity and deo...aum not blur passed even upon the occasion when his late nVist excellent Ma jesty (George the Third) was committed to the tomb of his cestors. The admirable arrangements of our truly indefatigable Chief Magistrate (Archibald Reed, Esq.), for maintaining order and decorum, were indeed nobly aided by the loyalty and affection of the people. Not a shop, or place of business of any kind, in cluding the banking establishments, but what was closed through* out the mournful day. Even the Friends were rigid in observ ing the solemnities appointed for the occasion. Indeed, it was . impossible for the people to testify their affectionate respect in morn ample or becoming manner. Every body, with scarcely ani exception, was habited in mourning. - At sun-rise a gun was fired from the old castle, the flag was hoisted half-staff high, and continued so till sun-pet, all the ships, in the harbour observing the same ceremony. At sun-rise - also v , muffled peal of bells—sweet; but soul-affecting music—issu, from the church of St. Nicholas; and, at fre uettt i n t e p r i during the.day, the bells of the other three church a were tag ) * fioltlpmeacla,s tulle muffled.

The pulpit and reading desk, the communion-table, the Corporation pews, the organ -gallery—all were richly covered with fine black draperies. Divine service was performed in the other three churches, which were also hung with deep mourning.
