The Un dertaker answered,-that he 'had no horse. His loyal Highness iminediately ordered one of the dragoons to dismount, , and the Undertaker was lifted into the saddle, in his place. The animal immediately be gan ,to ..caper, and, on the sound of the trumpet, backed into the ranks ; while the Undertaker; a real descendant of Johnny, Gilpin, hugged the animal. most lovingly round the neck . . All the speEtators laughed heartily at the Undertaker, and, after en joying his distress for some time, at length_ relieved -him from his perilous situation. The celebrated COUllkliol - DUNNING was once in a 'similarly auk ivard predicament. When at Berlin, he went to see a review near that city; 'FREDERICK the Great ob ,serving him, mounted him upon a troop horse, and 'the Counsellor rode along, proud of the honour, for some time, in the:Suite of the King. But the mo ment the 'review commenced, the horse dashed tor :ward to join his old companions in the. ranks, and carried his terrified and reluQant rider through. all the wheelings and_charges. of the day, to the no small amusement of His MAJESTY.

Sunday morning, at nine o'clock, the Funeral Cra which conveyed tiiIVPITRatTIS . 'Of - the, honoured and greatly regretted Lord NELSON to St. Paul's was taken from the King'A Mews, at Charing-cross, to . Greenwich Hospital. It was drawn by six of the _King's black, horses, with three postillions in the royal, liveries, attended by a coachman' on horse back, and escorted by 2 strong, detachment of the Royal WestminsterVolunteers f accompanied bya part of the band of that cerps. The spe6tators s _ as may be supposed, were very numerous. It was doubted whether Divine Service could be performed at St. Paul's while the scatfolding used for the Funeral of Lord NELSON' remained there. On Saturday afternoon the Bishop of CHESTER, the Canon in residence, determined, that the experi ment should be tried..

The Cathedral being so unexpe&edly opened for Divine Service, only one person attended, till the Psalms were nearly over. The Sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. HoLMES, one of the Minor Canons. He took his text from the i 6th chapter of JOB, and 17th verse: The Rev. 'Gentleman embraced the opportunity of preaching. a Funeral Sermon on the death of Lord NELSON.

" The ship Alert, CaptainMotatfsoiNr, from ",-2n gal, bound to Bombay, .sailed from calcutta some _ time in June, in company with eight other vessels, but, from some accident or other, parted company from her companions. It appears that part of her Crew, consisting of from fifteen to . twenty Arabs, rose and mur dered the Commander and Officers, and some other Europeans on board, to the number of nine persons, and possessed themselves •of the Ship,; they immediately changed the course, steered for the Arabian Coast, and, after much difficulty, made the Island of Soccatra, Where they continued • for three weeks or a month ; during which period they disposed of as much of the Ship's cargo as they 'were able. From thence they made the best of their way to Maculla Bay, and; on their arrival, an nounced themselves 'to the Chief of that Place as belonging to Moosa, the rich Monola, at Tellicherry. Here they endeavoured, for some time, to get . rid of the remaining part of , the piece goods, of which ar ticles it appeared a great part of her cargo had con sisted. • ", Purchasers, 'it seems, they . met with in ibun. dance, for so ignorant were these wretches of the value.and current price of the various articles they exposed to sale, that they offered them frequently from 50 to 76 per cent. under the - natal prime cost of these articles in the markets at Bengal. This, and 'various other circumstances', leading to a suspi cion that they could not have come by these things fairly and honestly, and suspicion being fulloed .up by inquiries, the foregoing catastrophe was soon. discovered ; but it appears, that as soon as these in quiries were set on foot, and there appeared a pro bability of discovery, . the .villians who perpetrated this horrid deed made their-: :ape, and fled to Sahar, where, it is said, they now are. " The foregoing information was communicated to Mr. PRINGLE by a person employed in, his irate- rest, and who is at present at Aden, to Which place, understand, Mr. PRINGLE means to proceed, for the purpose of reclaiming the Ship and Cargo (it any .remains) as the property of British Subjects. By subsequent information, we understand, that on Mr. PRINGLE'S claiming the Ship Alert and Cargo, as British property, she'was immediately re stored by the Chief of Maculla, with all the pro perty which had tallen into his hands,,in conformity .to an account received from 'him, after deducaing some very considerable charges for various disburse , .meats on account of the ship." • • . On. Thursday last an unfortunate affair took place between Major T. of.the t oth Militia and an Officer of the satne,regiment, which terminated rather un favourably with regard to the Major, who received a .ball in his thigh. Only one round was fired, and it is believed the Major's pistol went off as he was falling. pugilistic contest took place yesterday at Bays water, for ten guineas, between a Carpenter named Jameson, and Stephen Higgs, a Yorkshireman. The Yorkshiremau had publicly declared, that he was a match for any bruiser of his weight.
