ONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Bankers and bill-brokers are finding active em ployment for their avail a bl e ca pi ta l i n t h e negotia tion of mercantile securities, for which 31 and 4 per cent. continue the current terms. Affairs re main in precisely the same position, but there is still an impression that they will assume an easier aspect ill the course of a few weeks. There was no alteration of importance in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. The City of Baltimore has arrived from New Yolk with .£59,698. The application list of the Colombian Loan will be closed at 2 o'clock on Thursday next ; the quo tation is to 11 prem. Amongst the many hotel companies which have started into existence during the present year, that Which, without question, will find the largest amount of support is the Star and Garter Hotel Company, Richmond, Surrey. The object of the company is to purchase the interest of the present proprietors of the world-famous hotel on the summit of Rich mond-hill, and to enlarge and otherwise improve the property, so as to meet the increased and increas ing demand for hotel accommodation in one of the most lovOy spots in England. The property is to be conveyed to the company as freehold, and con sequently will carry with it the goodwill business and aristocratic connections which for years have rendered the Star and Garter famous both at home and abroad. Unlike most other companies, the shareholders will not in this instance have to wait for the erection and fitting up of the building from which they hope to derive their dividends, as the patronage at present enjoyed by the proprietors of the Star and Garter is quite sufficient to pay a handsome dividend upon any capital invested. Another great featnie in the undertaking is that arrangements have been made with one of the Messrs. Ellis to act as managing director for two years, if it should be so required, and also that the name of Mr. Staples, of the Albion, Aldersgate-street, is to be found amongst the directors. As we have before remarked, the profits from the current business will allow of a good dividend upon the proposed outlay; and it is not too much to anticipate that, on the completion of the contemplated alterations, the Star and Garter Motel will be found to be about one of the best c onstructed, best connucted, and most remunerative joint-stock. companies of the year 1863. Two o'CLoac. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele. „„r° 4lll l the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 6 7t. 70 c v erY dull. There is some depression to-day in the market for the English Funds, and business has been re nlarkabiy dull. Consols are 931, 1 for money. and 93 Z - -1 1 for the account, showing a decline of a per cent. The New 3 per Cents. and Reduced Annui. 11, 1 are 91Z- 92 ; Exchequer Bills par to 3s. prem.; India 5 per Cents. 1081 1; and the Enfaced do., 1671 4. Increased depression prevails in the Foreign Mar ket to-d a y, a general decline hav i ng taken places and business is quiet. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 701 1 ; do., 1862, 711 ; do., Consolides, have de clined to 53 54; Mexican to 461 ; Greek to 37 1 38; do., Coupons, 18 I; Spanish Passive to 35 1 36; do., Internal, to 31 ; do., Certificates, to 14 ; New Granada are 17&; do., 2 per Cents., ; Russian, 931-; Venezuelan, 61 1; Italian, 721 ; and the Confederate Loan, 31 to 29-dis. The operations in the Railway Share Market have again been very limited, and prices have exhibited a downward movement. Great Eastern and North Western have declined 55., and British and Exeter, and South Western, 102. Lancashire and Yorkshire, however, have advanced as., and Metropolitan, 15s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain inactive at almost previous quotations. Bank Shares continue in good demand, and in Most instances exhibit increased firmness as regards prices. In the Miscellaneous Market there is little chan ge to record. International Finhncial ar e quoted ; Hudson Bay, 9 2 _ ; General Credit, 4 i 6 1; and National Discount Co., 9i 10.

MARLBOROUGH•STREET. TILE IIAYM ARRET.—ALLEGED ASSAULT.—Catherine Willis, a smartly dressed young female, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Mr. Albert Herbert Lewis, sur geon, of Nuneaton, Warwickshire, but staying at present at 20, Newman-street, Oxford-street. The complainant said—l was in the Haymarket last night. Ido not know what time it was, but I think it was half-past one, when the defendant scratched my face. I met her at Biznell's, a place where, when I was a student, I was in the habit of visiting. She said she knew me. She annoyed my friend, and I rent my friend home in a cab, and then she scratched my face. Mr. Knox —Had you been drinking ? Complainant—Oh, I was not drunk. Defendant —Did you not strike me ? Complainant—No. Benjamin Jeffrey, 201 C, said—About threw this morning I heard a female calling "Police," and the complainant :Feld he hod been assaultel, and seeing marks on his face I took the defendant into custody. Complainant—Oh, look at my pocket handkerchief. Defendant—He struck ma twice, and I called for the police. Mr. Knox--It certainly strikes me as remarkable if the defendant had not been struck, that she could call for the police. I think, Mr. Lewis, that now you are no longer a student you had better keep from the Haymarket. I think you brought it all on yourself, and that you did strike the young woman, and I shall, therefore, discharge her. SYSTEMATIC THIEVES. —A THIEVING FAMILY.—Mary Ann Larkin and Caroline Larkin, sisters, the latter only having come out of prison yesterday morning, were charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a shawl of the value of 16s. from the shop of Mr. Fred. Augustus Penny, linendraper, 10 and 11, Walker's-court, Soho, and a piece of cotton print, of the value of 4s. 6d., from the shop of Mr. James Horne, linendraper, 5, Little Pulteney-street, Soho. Elizabeth Jane Bowen, assistant to Mr. Penny, deposed that, about one o'clock yesterday, she saw the two prisoners in the lobby of the shop. The prisoners left, and she went upstairs, and on her return to the shop, in about twenty minutes, the prisoners came back again, at the same time a woman entering the shop and asking to be shown a bonnet. While showing the woman the bonnet she observed the prisoner Caroline take down a black and white shepherd's plaid shawl of the value of 165., and on her (witness) going for assistance they got away. As the woman bargaining about the bonnet denied all knowledge of the prisoner she was allowed to go. Last evening about 8 o'clock she was called to the shop of Mr. Home, and saw the prisoners, and identified them as the women who stole the shawl from her employer's shop. John Henry Somers, assistant to Mr. Home, sail that having been informed yesterday evening about halt-past 7 that a female had taken a piece of cotton print, he went in search of her, and had nearly given up the search when a boy informed him that Mary Ann Larkin had the print under her shawl, and on going out he secured her, took it from her, end took her into the shop. The prisoner Caro line then bounced in, and said, "Oh my dear sister I She did not steal it; I stole it." A crowd collected, and in con sequence information got to Mr. Penny's assistant, and on her arriving she identified the women as those who had taken her shawl, and they were then given into custody. Charles Palmer, a boy, living in Hopkins-street, proved seeing the prisoners and another woman talking together, and seeing the print under Mary Anne Larkin's arm. H e gave information to the witness Somers. Patrick Winter, 321 A, proved taking the prisoners into custody, and said that the prisoner Caroline had a fit and was obliged to be taken to the workhouse. The prisoner Caroline said her sister knew nothing about the print. Mr. Knox—And yet it was found under her shawl Sergeant Brown, 5 C, said the prisoner Caroline was com mitted on the 29th of July last for two months for stealing 69 yards of print from Mr. Horne's shop, and only came out yesterday. They belonged to a thieving family. Committed for trial. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. 22.—The market for both yarn and cloth is firmer, but there has not been natieh business. The amount of business done to day has been small, in consequence of the great advance in prices asked by spinners—namely, from ld. to 2d. per lb. on the rates of this day week. Even this advance would hardly bring the rates for yarn up in proportion to the advances which have recently taken place in the raw material., but it is in the attempt on the part of spinners to get some portion of the advance to cover the increased cost of cotton that business has been checked. The inquiry has been very good, and it is probable that a large business would have been done if spinners had been easy to deal with. The market closes very strong, with a tendency to higher prices. The balance of a large stock of 16's to 24's water twist, bought some time ago, made from American cotton, was cleared out yester day at 2s 6d per lb. It was bought at 2s per lb (the then current rate), although the cotton cost 2s 6d per lb. The price of the same quality of cotton to-day is about 2s 3d per lb. There has been a fair market for cop yarns from the home trade at full prices. In some cases, in these as well as other yarns, spinners have asked extreme rates, and this has checked business. For cloths we have had only a small amount of business, buyers to a great ex tent having been deterred from operating in conse quence of the high prices asked by manufacturers. Although there have been few inquiries with a view to purchasing, however, manufacturers are very firm, and are rather disposed to advance their prices to cover thecost of cotton oryarn than to make any concession. So far as we can learn, where operations have been effected very full prices indeed have been given. Where manufacturers have hap pened to hold stocks of cotton or yarn bought before the recent advances they have been rather easier to deal with, but in cases where orders have been offered to manufacturers who would have to go into the market for the raw staple the advance required has been such as to stop business. A telegram has been received stating that a considerable rise had taken place in the waters of the Nile (40 inches in one night), and this had had some effect on the market, through a supposition that disaster might be the result to the cotton crops in Egypt. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of the cloth market :—" There is no new feature in the mar ket to-day. The extreme prices of Tuesday last are firmly adhered to by manufacturers, but buyers so far are very reluctant to give them, and there is consequently little or nothing doing." LEEDS, Sept. 22.—The woollen trade keeps in a healthy condition, and a pretty fair business was transacted at the market to• day, although the very unsettled state of the weather had the effect of keeping many buyers from attending. For plain blacks the demand is steady, and tweeds and mel tous meet with a good sale. In heavy goods manu facturers find the demand rather diminishing as the season advances ; ail', a few good sales were made to day. Prices continue very firm in all de partments. The flax trade has been steady, and the fine qualities keep in fair request. Prices are about the same. In yarns the trade is brisk, and spinners in many cases are full of orders, particu larly for tow yarns. Hemp is firm, and advanced prices are paid. ROCHDALE, Sept. 21.—At to-day's market the amount of business was rather above the average. The principal inquiry has been for low goods, but the price of the raw material makes them scarce. Manufacturers prefer to be employed in producing the finer classes of flannels. The fancy trade is rather brisk, and the tendeney of prices is upwards, manufacturers declining new orders upon the old terms. All the Yorkshire goods on offer to-day were readily sold. Of these goods, howe'er, there is rather a scarcity, and prices are somewhat higher. There has been a good business doing in wool, many large manufacturers having taken the oppor tunity to replenish their stocks. Prices have not at all declined. GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. A meeting of East Anglian shareholders in this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern —Mr. Goodson in the chair. Mr. Owen, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said the meeting was called for the purpose of carrying out the wishes of many proprietors of East Anglian stock, and he would call upon Mr. L. Simpson, one of the representa tives of East Anglian interests at the Board of the Great Eastern Company, to explain the business to them. Mr. L. SIIIPSON said the meeting was held for the purpose of exercising certain provisions in the Great Eastern Act of 1863, by which the East Anglian proprietors were authorised to separate their stock in two parts, with a view to meet the wishes of two classes of shareholders. They pro posed to convert one portion, or 20 per cent. of it into a 5 per cent. stock, which would be bought by trustees and others as a first-class security, and the other portion of the stock, 80 per cent. into a separate stock of a speculative character, which would cake the contingent dividend to which the East Anglian stock was entitled. He thought the division of the stock into two denominations as proposed would be found an unmixed good. They had been supported in that view by proprietors holding £500,000 of the stock of the company, or about one-halfof the whole amount of it, who had intrusted him with their proxies. He had no doubt they wean find that their stock divided would be more valuable than in one. He then moved a formal resolution, in pursuance of the powers of the Great Eastern Railway Act, 1863, authorising the East Anglian stock to be divided into No. 1 stock of £206,721, entitled to a fixed dividend of 5 per cent. per annum, and No. 2 stock of £826,825 entitled to a dividend equivalent to one-half of the dividend in excess of 3 per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock of the Great Eastern Company which in any half year might be declared on that stock. Mr. HERAPATII seconded the motion. Mr. WILKINSON said he intended to second the motion, and to state that it would be better for all parties if the East Anglian A, B, and C preference stocks were consolidated into one preference stock. Mr. HERAPATII explained that the East Anglian proprietors were entitled under the amalgamation to 1 per cent. on their original stock of £1,033,546, and also to two-fifths of the excess of dividend over 3 per cent. per annum that m ight be declared in any half year on the ordinary stock of the Great Eastern Company, He thought the present a much simpler plan by consolidating the one per cent. portion into one-fifth of the amount, namely, £206,721, and making it a 5 per cent. stock. The contingent dividend being confined to the other four-fifths of the original stock, or £826,825, the result to the holders with respect to dividend was precisely the same. Mr. SHAW, the other representative of the East Anglian at the Great Eastern Board, said, with re gard to the observations of Mr. Wilkinson, that however desirable it might be to consolidate the A, B, and C preference shares of the East Anglian, it could not be done under the Act without the assent of all the proprietors. The resolution before the meeting would require the assent of three fourths of the shareholders represented at the meet ing. The Great Eastern Board had cheerfully as sented to the proposition, which would do no harm to them, but would be a great advantage to the East Anglian proprietors. Mr. COXIIEAD could not see any advantage from the proposed change. The present stock would now realise 27, and he wanted to know what the contingent stock would be worth when separated from it. He thought it a very injudicious proceed ing, and would vote against the motion. Mr. SHAW said the stock was et 24 and 241 before, but since it had risen to '27; the difference was the present value of the contingent right, but when the stock was divided he expected that the price of the two taken together would be 30. After some further observations, the resolution was unanimously adopted, and the proceedings con cluded with votes of thanks to the chairman for presiding, and to Mr. Simpson and Mr. Shaw, the representatives of the East Anglian at the Board, for their valuable cervi'nE. BURGLARY. John Williams pleaded guilty to en indictment charging him with burglary. It appeared that the prisoner had been discovered in the house of Mr. Ferris, at Islington, about two o'clock in the morning, and a quantity of property had been made up for removal but not taken away. Nothing was known of the prisoner by the police. Mr. Justice Byles said there were circumstances con nected with this case which differed from those generally before the court. Under all the circutos,ances, he should sentence the prisoner to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. _ _ bearing the sentence, a person in the court gave a sort of low whistle to attract the attention of the prisoner, and then hurriedly left the court, exclaiming, " Good-bye, Jack 1"] NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE CHARGE OF ENLISTING FOR THE POLES. Alfred Styles surrendered to his bail to answer the charge of having induced one John Gregory to enlist as a soldier for a foreign Power (to wit, Poland), without the leave and license of her Majesty the Queen. Mr. Poland appeared for the Russian Government, and Mr. Gifford for the defendant. The Clerk of Arraigns—Having heard the charge &gains' you, how do you plead ? Defendant, in a firm voice—Guilty. Mr. Poland said he had been instructed in the present case to prosecute on the part of the Russian Government. The defendant, it became known, had engaged offices in Buckingham-street, Strand, for the purpose of enlisting young men to proceed to Poland and take part there in opposing the Russian Government. The manner in which he proceeded was shortly as follows:—He caused an adver tisement to be inserted in one of the daily papers, offering employment to young men. Of course such an announce ment attracted general attention, and when the applicants for employ ment went to the , ffice they became aware that the object of the advertisement was to ob tain soldiers for Poland. Amongst the applicants were two persons who, on becoming aware of the object of the defendant, immediately communicated with the Russian consul, and an application was made to a magistrate to grant a warrant for the apprehension of the defendant for an infringement of the Act of Parliament. On the officer proceeding to Buckingham -street he found the defendant in the office, with a book before him, from which it appeared that he had obtained about 250 persons to join, On being informed by the officer that he held a warrant for his apprehension, the defendant replied that he did not know that he was doing anything contrary to the laws of England, but, if it was so, he would give it up. The whole of the books, papers, &c., found at his office were taken possession of, and after an examination at Bow -street police-court he was committed for trial. On behalf of the Russian Government, if it met with the sanc tion of the court, ho proposed that the defendant should be called upon to enter into recogaisances to appear when called upon for judgment, but if he did not continue his enlisting he would hear no more of the matter. Mr. Gifford said he had simply to say that his client en listed these persons under the impression that he was not transgressing the law. He had held a commission in her Majesty's service, and also in that of General Garibaldi, and believing the cause of Poland a good one, and that he was guilty of no moral wrong in supporting it, he felt so interested that he had no hesitation in perilling his life in the enterprise. It was true he was morally wrong in acting contrary to the law ; but it might be a question whether he had committed a crime. The Recorder said it was desirable that the law on the point should be generally known, and this case would have the effect of making it so. The defendant, therefore, would have to enter into his own recognisances in the sum of XlOO to appear for judgment when called upon. The necessary arrangements having been made, the de fendant quitted the court with his friends. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) THE SCENE BETWEEN THE COMMON SERGEANT AND MR. RIBTON. In the course of the trial, yesterday evening, of Flynn, Cassidy, and Miles, for wilfully assaulting George Smith of the R division of police in the execution of his duty, when Mr. Ribton was addressing the jury for the prisoner Flynn in rather a loud tone, the Common Sergeant interrupted him, on the ground that the unseemly and loud voice in which the counsel was speaking could be heard outside the court by the witnesses or the prisoners who had not then been examined. Upon this a very angry discussion arose, and the Common Sergeant ultimately refused to hear anything further from Mr. Ribton, and suddenly ad journed the court. This morning the prisoners were again placed at the bar. Mr. Hibton, in addressing the court, said he hoped his lordship would allow him before the business proceeded to make a few observations in reference to that which took place yesterday, and, in the first instance, he had to say that he never had any intention to say any thing disrespectful to the learned judge, but in justice to himself he was bound to eny that in the whole course of the proceeding there was no intention in the slightest de gree to say anything which could be personally unpleasant. As far as regarded other matters, he begged to repeat that he was instructed by one of the most respectable attorneys in Woolwich, and from these instructions he be lieved he had a substantive answer to the charge, and he entirely was led into some excitement in the mode of addressing the jury and might have been betrayed into using language that might savour of being disrespect.. ful to the Court. He could assure his lordship that it was not his intention to have said anything personally offensive, and he trusted that the present explanation would be deemed satisfactory, The Common Sergeant said he was quite satisfied with the explanation, as it was the tone of voice rather than the observation which appeared disrespectful. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 6 per milk pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.274 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of C. I is. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appe. - that gold is about 6-10 the I,er cent. deafer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.6} per £1 sterling. tandard gold at the English Mkt price is, therefore, about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg Phe course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 142 i per cent., and the premium on gold is 29 per cent. ' At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. THE FUNERAL of the late Mr. Charles Robert Cockerell, late President of the Royal Academy, and archi tect of the Bank of England, will take place at St. Paul's Cathedral onsThureday:next. There will be a full choral service on the occasion at 12 p.m. Mr. Cockerell was for some years architect at St. Paul's. With the consent of the Dean and Chapter, Mr. Reward, of Old Quebec-street, has made arrangements for a full and impressive cere monial. A curious incident occurred at Potsdam, at the time of the visit of the members of the Statistical Congress. Among the persons who were walking in the gardens of the Palace of Sans-Souci was a Prussian officer, who entered into conversation with an English savant, The latter, after a time, could not avoid expressing his surprise at finding a Prussian fficer speak English so well. The officer replied that there was nothing astonishing in that fact, as his wife and his mother-in-law were both English. " Might I venture to inquire the name of your mother-in law ?" said the English savant. "Queen Victoria," re plied the officer, who was no other than the Crown. Prince of Prussia. Loss OF THREE LIVES IN THE VERSEY.—On Saturday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, whilst the Isle of Man steamer Praefell was proceeding from her anchorage in the Gouge to the north landing stage she came into collision and sunk the flat Mary Agnes almost immediately. Owing to the watchfulness and gallantry of a boat's crew of the ironclad Warrior, Captain Barlow and his crew were saved; but unfortunately, Mrs. Barlow, the wife of the captain, her child, and a Miss Macquiness, were drowned. Much indignation—and very just indignation too —has been caused by the evident recklessness and stupidity of those in charge of the Graefell, who alter the collision exhibited only a lazy attempt to save those in the water; indeed so little heed did Captain Kermode and the crew of the Graefell take of this catastrophe that the steamer went to sea, her captain exhibiting a rare callousness as to the fate of those on board the flat. DESCENT INTO A MINE BY LADIES.-0a Friday last a large party of ladies and gentlemen, at pre sent the guests of Sir William Call, Bart., at Whiteford park, near Cullington, visited, in company with Sir William and Lady Call, the New Wheal Maria mine. So vivid an interest did they manifest in the undertaking, that, equip ping themselves in garments provided or the occasion, the most enterprising of them descended into the bowels of the earth, consisting of Lady Call and Mrs. Jones, of Pantaglas; Messrs. Boscawen, Somerset, Collins, Uniacke, and Haslers. They were lustily cheered on making their reappearance on terra f irma, and the courage and intrepidity displayed by those ladies will long bo the theme of enthusiastic admira tion among the miners of Weal Maria.—.Plyinouth Western News.

DEFACING A SOVEREIGN.—ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF A LINENDRAFEL—A respectable young woman named Hag gerty, dwelling with her husband at 8, Dorset-street, Rat - cliff, applied to Mr. Partridge for a summons against a linendraper, named Read, carrying on business in the Commercial-road East, a short distance from the George. The applicant stated that she went to Read's linendrapery establishment and made a purchase yesterday morning, and tendered in payment a good sovereign, which was accepted by the shopman who waited upon her, and he gave her sil ver for it, deducting, of course, the value of the articles purchased. In the afternoon she went to the shop again with her sister-in-law, to buy mourning, and one of Read's shopman returned her the sovereign paid in the morning, and said it was a bad one. The shopman also demanded 20s, for it, which she gave him. Mr. Partridge---Why did you do that if it was a good sovereign ? Mrs. Haggerty said she was very much frightened when she was informed the sovereign was a counterfeit one. She had since taken the sovereign to a jeweller, who pronounced it to be a good one. Mr. Prevost, the laadlord of the Lamb public-house, in Dorset-street, ltatcliff, also pronounced the sovereign to be a good one. She could not pass the sovereign to any one, because it was cut and defaced. She then handed the mutilated sovereign to the magistrate, who examined it, and said it was undoubtedly a good one, He asked who had cut and bent the sovereign. Mrs. Haggerty It was done at the linen draper's shop. It was perfect when I delivered it to the shopman yesterday morning. He returned it to me cut and bent as you see it, your worship. Mr. Partridge said it was illegal to deface the current coin of the realm. He would advise the applicant to bring an action against the linen draper in the County Court. It was not a case in which he could interfere. The father-in-law of the applicant was killed last week on board ship in the St. Katherine's dock, and she went to Read'S shop with her sister-in-law to buy mournings. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here, to-day, was moderate. The trade for all qualities ruled inactive, at Monday's decline in the currency of 2s. per quarter. There was a full average show of foreign wheat on the stands. Both American and Continental descriptions sold heavily, and late rates were with difficulty supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at about previous quotations. The supply of barley was by no means extensive, yet the trade ruled inactive at drooping prices. There was rather less doing in malt at about previous rates. The trade for oats was in a sluggish state at Monday's decline in prices. The show of samples was large. In the value of beans and peas no material change took place. The demand for them, however, was by no means active. Flour was in slow request at about Monday's currency, ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

MY FIRST FUNERAL ! „ Described u by Ch ar l es Dicker; in the New Number of the ncommereial,” as attended by himself when eged Seven or Eight. As it were —Little David Copperfield in attendance at the funeral of poor Peggotty's deceased husband, the late Barkie, then—"just gone out with the tide I" VERY COMFORTABLY BURIED !--My first funeral, a fair representative fune ra l a f ter its kind, was that of the husband of a married servant, once my nurse. She married for money. Sally Flanders, after a year or two of matrimony, became the relict of Flanders, a small masterebuilder ; and either she or Flanders had done me the honour to express a desire that I should "follow." I may have been seven or eight years old ;—young enough, certainly, to feel rather alarmed by the expression, as not know ing where the invitation was held to terminate, and how far I was expected to follow the deceased Flanders. Consent being given by the heads of houses, I was jobbed up into what was pronounced at home decent mourning (comprehending some body else's shirt, unless my memory deceives me), and was admonished that if, when the funeral was iu action, I put my hands in my pockets, or took my eyes out of my pocket handkerchief, I was per sonally lost, and my family disgraced. On the eventful day, having tried to get myself into a disastrous frame of mind, and having formed a very poor opinion of myself because I couldn't cry, I repaired to Sally's. Sally was an excellent creature, and had been a good wife to old Flanders, but the moment I saw her I knew she was not in her own real natural state. She formed a sort of Coat of Arms, grouped with a smelling-bottle, a handkerchief, an orange, a bottle of Vinegar, Flanders's sister, her own sister, Flan ders's brother's wife, and two neighbouring go ss i ps —all in mourning, and all ready to hold her when ever she fainted. At sight of poor little me she became much agitated (agitating me much more), and having exclaimed, " 0 here's dear Master Un commercial!" became hysterical, and swooned as if I had been the death of her. An affecting scene followed, during which I was handed about and poked at by various people, as if I were the bottle of salts. Reviving a little, she embraced me, said, " You knew him well, dear blaster Uncommercial, and he knew you ;" and fainted again : which, as the rest of the Coat of Arms soothingly said, " done her credit." NO A, I knew that she needn't have fainted unless she liked, .and that she wouldn't have fainted unless it had been expected of her, quite as well as I know it at this day. It made me feel un comfortable, and hypocritical besides. I was not sure but that it might be manners in me to faint next, and I resolved to keep my eye on Flanders's uncle, and if I saw any signs of his going in that direction, to go too, politely. But Flanders's uncle (who was a weak little old retail grocer) had only one idea, which was that we all wanted tea, and he handed us cups of tea all round, incessantly, whether we refused or not. There was a young nephew of Flanders's present, to whom Flanders, it was rumoured, had left 19 guineas. He drank all the tea that was offered him, this nephew—amounting, I should say, to several quarts—and ate as much plum cake as he could possibly come by; but he felt it to be decent mourning that he should now and then stop in the midst of a lump of cake, and appear to forget that his mouth was full, in the contemplation of his uncle's memory. I felt all this to be the fault of the undertaker, who was handing us gloves on a tea tray as if they were muffins, and tying us into cloaks (mine had to be pined up all round, it was so long for me), because I knew that he was mak ing game. So when we had got out into the streets, and I constantly disarranged the procession by tumbling on the people before me because my handkerchief blinded my eyes, and tripping up the people behind me because my cloak was so long, I felt that we were all making game. I was truly sorry for Flanders, but I knew that was no reason why we should be trying (the women with their heads in hoods like coal scuttles with the black side outward) to keep step with a man in a scarf, carry ing a thing like a mourning spy glass, which he was going to open presently and sweep the horizrn with. I knew that we should not have been speaking in one particular key note struck by the undertaker, if he had not been making game. Even in our faces we were every one of ns as like the undertaker as if we had been his own family, and I perceived that this could not have happened unless we had been making game. When we returned to Sally's, it was all of a piece. The continued impossibility of getting on without plum-cake ; the ceremonious apparition of a pair of decanters containing port and sherry and cork; Sally's sister at the tea-table, clinking the best crockery and shaking her head mournfully every time she looked down into the tea-pot, as if it were the tomb; the Coat of Arms again, and Sally as before; lastly, the words of consolation administered to Sally when it was considered right that she should " come round nicely :" which were, that the deceased had had " as comfor-to-ble a fu-ne•ral as comfortable could be!" Other funerals have I seen with grown-up eyes, since that day, of which the burden has been the same childish burden. Making game. Real effiction, real grief and solemnity, have been outraged, and the funeral has been " per formed." The waste for which the funeral customs of many tribes of savages are conspicuous, has at tended these civilised obsequies ; and once, and twice, have I wished in my soul that if the waste must be, they would let the undertaker bury th e money, and let me bury the friend. A FINE OLD ENGLISH GENTLEMAN.—Mr. Morrill, of Headington Hill, Oxford, died on Satur day week last. He was for many years master of a pack of harriers, and afterwards hunted the old Berkshire country with a splendid pack of foxhounds. He was a thorough good sportsman, an excellent horseman, a most hospitable man, a truly liberal landlord, and a kind friend. In his social and domestic character his conduct was irreproach able. Mr. Morrell met with an accident more than a year ago, which brought on a serious illness. He and Lord "William Lennox were driving in the former's open oarriage near the fatal Clayton tunnel at Brighton, when they met a lady and a gentleman being run away with in a pony carriage. Mr. Morrell immediately ordered his coachman to turn, and trot steadily on after the runaway vehicle. After going about half a mile, they overtook it, and, finding the pony, which had been stopped, was trying to " nego tiate a bull-fineher, ,, as Melton men call it, Mr. Morrell and his companion descended from the carriage to assist the lady out. After walking a few paces, Mr. Morrell fell on his hands and knees, accounting for the fall by saying that he felt that his legs, having been wrapped up in a railway rue., became what is usually called "asleep." After assist ing the lady and gentleman, arranging the harness, and offering them a seat in his carriage, Mr.Morrell complained that he had hurt his right leg, about an inch below the knee. Lord William took him to a cottage, obtained a sponge, washed the wound, which was about the size of a florin, and both drove home in excellent spirits. Little was thought of the accident ; but, in a few days, carbuncles showed them selves, and the wounded part became greatly inflamed. Mr. Burrows, of Brighton, than whom a more talented surgeon does not exist, was called in, and, with great care and skill, so far brought about a recovery that Mr. Morrell was en abled to return to Headington Hill by the let of October. During that month, though lame, Mr. Morrell was able to enjoy coursing and shooting to a small extent. The anni versary of his marriage day and Christmas were kept up in the old English way, and every hope was entertained that, before the spring set in, he would be able to attend Epsom and Ascot. 'With his usual liberality, he invited a party to Salt Hill for the Ascot meeting, but was unable to accom pany them to the races. He then returned home, more unfavourable symptoms showed themselves, and, after a lingering illness, he expired on Saturday, the 12th instant. Mr. Morrell leaves a widow and one child to mourn his loss; but the loss will not be confined to his relatives; every one, high and low, in the county of Oxford, will deeply lament the death of one who had so endeared him self to all classes. The Rev. D. Everett, Mr. Morrell's brother-in-law, remained with him during his illness to the last moment. It was only about a fortnight before Mr. Morrell's death that ho expressed a wish to see his old huntsman, Clark, who now lives with the Duke of Beau fort. Clark lost no time in going over to Headington, but his former master was too ill to see him; and he returned to Badminton, sad and sorrowful at the idea that never more would he behold one of the kindest employers and best huntsmen in England. Mr. Morrell's exploits in the hunt ing-field, we are reminded by the Court Journal, were re corded last November by his friend, Lord Wm, Lennox, in the " Sporting Review and Magazine."
