• FUNERAr. crnihioAi
OF TIIL: DUKE OF t. , Iu,:ESTER.

A hasty and imperfeet account of this teremony
appeared in some of the Papers of yesterday. We
now present ihe following, i, in a Cot respondent at
Windsor, upon whose accuracy we can rely :
A'roitt half-past five o'clock nn Wednesday even-
ing, the funeral procession of the late Duke of
Gtouces reit, arrived at Windsor. It immediately
proceeded to to. Castle, through the lower Court,
where it was received by this Royal Horse Guards
Blue, dismounied, and the Windsor Volunteers.—
Tickets having b Nen issued by the Dean of Wi pintos,
for a )mission to St. George's Chapel, orders were
givea to admit those, that possessed these tickets, to
see the corpselie in state, in the Royal apartments.
For a little time, some order was preserved ; btu the
populace soon beginning to augment considerably,
and grow very clamorous, many that were entitled
to ge in, were prevented, and many were deterred
ti even attemp:ing ;it Was therefore judged ex-
pedient to admit all, to prevent the riot and con-
fusion that would have otherwise ensued. The peo-
ple assembled were, then, about half-past seven
o'clock, admitted by the private staircase, into the
Guard Chamber, and, from thence, passed into the
Queen's presence chamber, the walls of which were
hang, and the fluor covered with black cloth, and
lighted up with twenty-tour wax lights, in silver
sconces ; and two chandeliers, with ten lights each.
The coffin, covered with a black velvet pall, adorned
with eight escutche,ns, was placed, with the royal
ducal coronet and cushion, on a bier, under the state
canopy, with five large wax-lights, in massy silver
candlesticks, on each side. Two routes were placed
at the hea.i, and two at the feet. of the corpse.
From hence the company passed on through the
ISt.teeit's Audience Chamber, to the stairs in King
John's 'rower, where they went out.
From the great gates of the Palace to the South
door of Sr. George's Chapel, the military, consist.
ing of the Royal Horse Guards and Windsor Vo-
lunteers, were placed to form a lane for the pro-
cession—every fourth man held a torch. Soon after
nine o'clock (the corpse having laid in state till that
time), the procession began to istove from the
Castle, to St. George's Chapel, in the following
order :

In this order, the procession moved on to the
S-uth.door, where it was met by the Choristers,
Minor Canon,, Senior Canons, and the Dean, the
ju•tinrs going first, who fell in immelritely after
the Herald of Arms, Oro prvceded the LORD
CII.O.IIIERLAIN, and proceeded down the south
aisle, up the nave, into the choir, the Chorister's
singing Di Ceorr.s Funeral Sery.ce (ear•h holding a
wa% !o ht). The body was then placed upon Tres-
sell, the bead towards the altar, the coronet and
cushinn being laid upon the coal, and the canopy
held over it, whilst the Dean of Memos. read the
funeral service. His Royal Highness, the present
Duke of Gtoeces ran, the chief mourner, sat on a
chair placed at the head of the coffin, the supporters
of the p4ll standing round the body. The part of
the service before the interns !nt being read, the
corpse was depolited in the vault. The Dean then
proceeded with the office of burial; which being
ended, the Deputy of Garter, King at Arms, pro-
claimed his late Royal Highness's style, and thus
concluded the ceremony. His Highness, the pre-
sent Duke of Gtenc ecru, then retired privately
to ere Castle, with his attendants. During the
whole of the ceremony, His Highness evinced the
most peign sot griA Whilst the body was depo-
siting in the vaitl,, he retired to the Dean's stall,
against which he for some time leaned, scarcely able
to stand. During the whole of the time, universal
sympathy prevailed ; whilst every spedator was
moved at a ceremony, at once so solemn, grand, and
affeding.

Circular letters, we understand, were last night
dosp.rched to the Lords Lieutenants of the several
couities, respelling the Militia, but we have not
learned the purport.
The hop plantations in some parts of Sussex have
improved so much of late, that several planters in

At Geoeva, the Observatory has been restored to

Advice. have been received from the Baptist
Mission in India. Mr. and Mrs. Rows, and Mr.
and Mrs. :quo dc, of the last number who went nut,
arrived at Serampore on the 251 d of February last.
M . Masns, and Boss, with their wives,
were then at Madras. Mr. CAREY and the rest
were well. He had made such progress in the
S!oan<crit, as to have delivered as or.otion in that
language, betore the Governor General, with which
he had espoused great satisfsetion. Two natives
bad lately been b.optited and joined the church.
The late coileflions had enabled the S sciety to remit

REVIEW IN NTOr•PARK.

•
Yesterday, at half-pest ten o'clock, the tiro
Prigude of City Volunteers. comprising the 21,
4'h. sth. f.; Bth. and the Honourable the Artillery
C•nnratuy, marched from their different Parades
into Hr le-Park, and, having taken their staf;on at
the further extremity of the Park, beyond the pact
where the Volunteers are getter illy reviewed, the
Earl of atteingtrin, attended by General Ca-r•i.
thers, and a numerms suit of Staff and Field Offi-
cers, arrived. The Reigade immediately being
formed in Uric, took open order, and sainted his
Lotdshio; who then put them through different
manoeuvres, in marching in line, and in divisions,
and forming the line again, by the right or left
division. The brigade then fired dyer rounds by
platoons, from left to right, after which they were
marched in line irto the wood, between the farther
part of the park, next to Oxford-road, and Hyde-
Park-Corner ; in the centre of this, the brigade was
halted, and fortned their line with the greatest
readiness, considering the uneveness of the ground
(some of the corps being obliged to stand in a
ditch), and the trees, which prevented them from
dressing by their rolnors, whist' otherwise they
would have done. The brigade then fired three
rounds from right to left, with the greatest steadi-
ness ; the field-pieces belonging to the Honour-
able Artillery Company on the right, being
worked with the greatest celerity. Altogether,
the firing in the wood had the grandest effea
that can possibly be conceived. The brigade
was then marched out of the wend ; and, after
charging bayonets several times in line, with
the greatest exadness, they fired three more rounds,
much to the saiisfaftion of the F.arl of Harringtnn
and all the Officers who were present. His Lore
ship then, after manceuvring them for a short time,
quitted the field. The brigade then, being d sunited,
marched under their respeetive officers towards
their different parades I some of th tank advan-
tage of the opportunity, and exercised in differc-t
parts of the Park. marebinz, counter-marching, and
firing. The heat being excessive, they at length
quitted the fi-ld, to the no small regret of many
fashionable speitators.

DOVER, Sept. 4.

Sir Sidney Smith did not retnrn, as was •xoe&'
last night. The evening, and it- t 2 o'clock at
night, was on' contin:led •,eavy f of rain. The
Derwreer kept the sea all night, off the French
toast, and returned this mo niug to I htngenesc, fr,m,
whence a cutter wAs dispatchzd with some of his s• r-
vants. and the gallant officer, and his party, are ex-
peßed here :his evening's tide.
Great prep stations are making at the Caves fir
an entertainment, which, I understand, is to he given
there by Sir Sidney ; two additional marquees are
pitched io a field, adjoia:ng the cottage inhahl•ed by
his aunt, which is situlted under the Cliff; of Dover
Castle, and commands a most extensive view of the
Channel and French coast.

A number of Sh; lwrights are busily employed in
making the new additions to Sir Sidney's gun-boats,
the masts will be mach longer than those now used,
and the bowsprit also will be of considerable length.
We are in great hopes these alterations will be per-
feard in a short time, and that Sir Sidney will try
another everiment with them, before he leaves this
part of the coast. These two boats are merely mo-
dels; as, I understand, if they are found to answer the
perrse, a great number, of a size capable of carry-
ing he largest guns, will be immediately prepared.
From the immense weight those already built are
capable of carrying, I have no doubt the plan is a
most excellent one.
The Lard Keith and Flirt, IC.ng's cutters, came
into those ruads this morning from a cruise; also
the Lueffer and n•soiatrre bomb-ships passed by to
the westward, for Dungeness, having returned from
a cruise off the French coast.

The American brig and schooner, from Marti-
nique and Gus laloitpe, detained FIT a I.),lver reiv 4.
Leer, as mentioned in my letter of the Ist inst. rill
remain in these roads: their papers were sent up to
London to the Admiralty, and. I understand. are
returned by this morning's mail. The Admiralty
warrant the detention, and the swo vessels will come
into the harbour this evening's tide. These make
eight Americans detained within th;s fortnight.

Sir VC/ p.m.
The DrOnset gun-brig, has just hove in sight,
and a long galley is gone over to her. Sir Sidney
does nor come on shore as was expelled, hut is re-
turning to the Admiral, at Dungeness: he will
come up next tide.
The Griffin tender, Lieutenant Forbes, stranded
at the mouth of this harbour, in coming in; but, by
the timely exertions of the crew, she was got off,
and is nrw safe in harbour.

Annther American ship has this moment been
detained, ahout half i levue to the westward, by
one of His Majesty's 'bomb ships; the names of
either, nr their place of destination, I have not as
yet been able to learn.

The London, CCAAL, horn Sligo to Archangel,
is pen into Christiansand in distress.
Besides the discovery of a planet, the year 1804 is
likewise ditinguithed by that of a cornet. It is the
94th, and was dis,overed by M. Pores, at Mar-
seilles, on the 7th of March ; by M. BOUVAID, at
Paris, on the 11:h ; and by M. (./La Las, at Bremen,
on the 12th.

Some rich proprietors of estates in Volhynia and

DR. JAWS eriltltnea

On the Stst ult. died J A Yes Cvai le, M. D. who
had latelrbecome an inhabitant of this city, and
who would have graced any place or society to
which he belonged. He bore great pain and nn-
easiness, for several years, with calmness and resig-
nation, and finished his course, wth affording an
example of that patience and fortitude, which so
eminently distinguished his charaaer threasgh life.
His medical abilities were confessedly very great.
Persevering, ingenious, and penetrating, few cir-
cumstances escaped his observation ; and his talent
of applying to praFlice the faas which he had ob:
served, was seldom equalled. He WAS also a re-
markable instance of the improvement which the
cultivation of the moral duties produces upon the
understanding. His judgment was not clouded by
jealousy, or his view of the subjed or case in ques-
tion ebsured by partiality, or darkened by preju-
dice. Equally ready to adopt the suggestions of
others, as he was those of his own judgment, he
sever deviated from the point aimed at, because the
whole of the path was not traced out by himself.
Superior to such con,iderations, which never prevail
in exalted minds. he rested his chata:ter on higher
grounds, and the discerning part of mankind soon
beers:e sensible, that sues acquiescence, when it met
bis own unprejudiced ilea , was an honour to his
eloanaer. Candour and benevolence were
guides of Hs condua, aed led him to esteem ..nd
teputation in the presetst world, softened his pas-
sage to the tomb, aid, in his last moments, disarmed
the dart of death. Original, however, in his ideas,
was I. et:er suited to point out the way, than to
follow the speculations of others ; and what he ad-
vised, obtait el a kind of involuntary preference,
which nothing but a consciousness of merit in the
adviser could have secured. His counsels, though
destitute of the recommendation of peremptory as.
iertion, sr lavish display of pretended success,
which sometimes overpower, when they do not con-
vince, carried with eiem the more powerful charms
of sense, judgment, reaitaion, and acquaintance with
the subject, and were accompanied with a most
amiable and satisfo:tory manner of manifesting
these a :noir:Able qualifications w. the understanding
of those with whom he conversed. Nor did pan
and sickness, however emliuering they were to the
enjoyment of life, cloud his facilities, or disorder
his t, mix!. Fre resigned life wall the same bene-
volent dispositioi of mind in which he had lived,
and wi,h nndien ni.hed . powers of understanding.
The faculties of mina were not, however, con-
ficed w orofesional subj ,a... Well ve:.ed in ele.
gust knoWledge, he combined the pursuits of orna-
mental literature w ith those f the severer studies.
Poetry, his:ory, and other L.:au:hes of knowledge
that .mpiove the understanding. and animate the
Mind io exert itself in every capacity, were held by
him in high esteem, and were fayourite objects of
his •:te:eion. On theie models, beetled from the
best authors, he formed hi. own style of writing,
which was pure, elegant, and correEl ; and often
adorned with passages which, in beauty of lan,
guage, and delicacy -and propriety of sentiment,
yield so none of wh ch oar country can boast. the
lovers of science might wish his life to have been
longer pretrailed ; in which wish all the friends of
the country's who in iw him, would willingly join:
but wiser Fate says ire: en I Reflection steps in and
warns us, that " his w•rf ire is accomplished ;" and
that we must not, from pa:tial, or interested, or in
deed any human coosisiera ions, presume to wish
the prolongation of tuff .ring to him, who had so
long, and so eminently snuggled with pain and
misery—and, in ihe milt of these painfnl exactions,
uniformly labouted for the benefit of insolirend.

TORKSIIIRL SUMMER ASSIZES.

Francis Barcelona stood charged with having mur-
dered George Plummer, the keeper of the House of
Corredbon at Beverley, by striking him on the head
with a milk-pet, of which round he languished tor
several days, and then died.
The Counsel for the prosecution opened the case
by stating, that the Prisoner (a native cf Italy) was,
in the month of June last, committed as a vagt ant to
the House of Corset!lion at Beverley, and that der-
irg his confinement he manifested troofs of ex-
treme impatience. The Counsel then proceeded
to state the Islas developed in the following evi-
dence :
William Hatter, the first witness, said, that the
Prisoner was committed in Juno -ess the House of
Correll 00, and that, r n the 24th of the same month,
Mr. Plummer visited him in his cell—that the Pri-
soner, during his visit, behaved in a most outrageous
rna nes, holding a tub towards the deaceased, in a
threatening manner, but did not aaually assault
him. The witness proceeded to state, that about
two o'clock the same day, the deceased again vi-
sited the Prisoner, who, as soon as he saw Mr. Plum-
Pier enter the cell, threw at him, with great vio-
lence, a milk pot, which struck him on the head, and
knocked him on the ground: the Prisoner then
seized a pair of iron tongs, and ran towards Mr.
Piummer, with an intention, as the witness sup-
posed, of striking him as he lay on the ground, hut
was secured by the witness, before he could *flea
his purpose. He further added, that previous to
this assault, Mr. Plummer was in a good state of
health. _ _

Thomas Cooper was then called, and deposed,
that he was beadle for the town of Beverley, and
WAS sent for to the House of Corration on the 24th
of June, and, on his arrival, to aid Mr. P. bleeding
from a wound in the head, and that Mr. Plummer
de.ircd bin) to put the prisoner in irons, which he
