The procession advanced to the foot of the lighted
chapel at the Cathedral, passed the little grate, the
cloister of Notre Dame and Parvis. The Arch-

At a quarter to two o'clock the body ass replaced

from the Quay of Cite to the Bridge, and returned
to the Church. The body was then lowered into
the vault, and placed at the side of the remains of

proportioned to their length of service.

i The Ex-Sheriff WILLIAMS, it is said, has
Irafted!! The Ex-Sheriff bus bens recently made

• Magistrate of Middlesex, and eujoyed the .honour
of entertaining Lord SIDMOUTH at dinner at his

of the late Queeres staunchest friend,.

It will appear strange, but it is no less true, that
one of the Editors of the official Noodle-ter exercises
at the sume time the functions of • Censor, and
attacks in safety, as u Ministerial Journalist, those
whose articles lie expunges us a Censor.
It is anxiously expected that Mir. TAYLOR'S Act
will be amended in the ensuing SessiOu of radii-
men', by the addition of • clause for prXreuting the
conveyance of stoop lees in 'urge quantities through
the metropolis. Almo.t every 'light in the week a
very large cart.full of this material drives through
the Strand, emitting a most horrible and pestilen-
tial stench, endangering the health of the 'iambi-
taiits and numerous pasoeugers to that very populous
part of the tow,,.
In consequence of the new arrangement for the
more expeditious conveyance of the North Mail
lion% Loodou, which arrives at Huntingdon about
an hour eadier, the mud from Bury St. Edmund's
is now dispatched at half-past eight o'clock, to en.
able the cross-road bags for the North to arrive at
Huntingdon iii time for the wail from London.
The Ipswich mail commenced running at a quicker
rate on Saturday, so as to arrive in Norwich soon
after ten o'clock in the morning, and set out again
at five in the afteritotei, thus giving the very great
accommodation of two hours additional tune for'
replying to letters in the city, and enabling several
I parts of the county to do so by return of post.
The Bury mail cart is despatched at half-past three.
At the Bedford Ploughing Match on the 19th
ult. (which was numerously attended by the hest
agriculturists of that comity) there was an unusual
degree of interest excited. Twenty ploughs enter-
ed the field, but the principal competition lay be-
tween Messrs. BACHELOIt's, of Lidlington ; Messrs.
Itxxsosties, of Ipswich ; and Messrs. ALLEY said
JEFFERE'S, of London (called the wet and dry wea.
ther plough). The prim,* were all decided in favour
of RANSOME'S patent plough*.
Norwich Corn Market on Saturday was rather
thinly attended, toad old Wheat was about Is.
loner than last week. Other grain much as before.
—The Cattle Market was well supplied, and large
flocks of lambs, &c. were offered tot sale ; little or
no variation took place in prices.
On Thursday last at Stowmarket. during the
lime of market. a horse in a cart set oil in the .aidst
of the people who were assembled in the street, and
killed a youth on the spot. There was a child ia

unfortunate buy was 14 years old, son of a labouring
