THE LATE QUEEN'S FUNERAL.

The following LeUer i• copied from The Tines,
at yesterday :

TO THE EDITOR.
SIR—As one of the Committee appointed to conduct the
processiee which yesterday attended the removal of the
remains of our late beloved Queen, I was at an early Inter at
Hammersmith, aad proceeded with the cavalcade to Ken-
*hewn, where the first stoppage took place, which was
nearly two hours. .Oa the arrival of the perjeant who had
been dispatched to my Lord Liverpool for orders, and a
reinforcement of troops, consisting of Life Guards, headed by
Sirßobert Baker, it was determined to move on through Ken-
sington, and to eater Hyde Park by the Kensington-gate. I
folloWed on close to the Magistrate, and as attempt was
made to force the gate. I saw the Life Guard, cutting the
people with floe flat part of their swords, and one or more
of their sabres was broken in pieces against the irun gates. I
appealed to the Magistrate, and implored him to proceed
slung the main road towards Knightsbridge, to which he
consented. Shortly after this I had an interview with Sir R.
Baker, and having represented to him the certainty that
lives would be lost if it was persisted in not to go through
the City, Sir Robert said be thought so, sod had made up
Ilia mind to go through the City. I asked him which way I
should direct our Committee to pritered : be said, down
St. James's-street and Pall-mall, best begged, if I possessed
any influence, thist I would exert it to prevent any nnpl t
expression of feeling aa 'the procession passed Carlton
Palace. I then Willed Sir Robert if I Was at liberty to inform
the C.ommaistitil-oid tbs assembled multitude of kis deter-
minatier4 lanniltiented, " Yea." I this proceeded to Mr.
Sheriff WiiitliNepk. Lied and Lady Rood, Ili. Hume, Sir
Robert IYil ntlideUnaintiaicated the intelligence. I
also aanoureed It tit the people as I went along. Mr. Sheriff
Weithataa requested Ina to forward to the Lord Mayor a
letter from him ow the subject, which I immediately did.
On arriving at Hyde Park-corner, I found a barrier thrown
scrotal the gate that leads into the Park, consisting of waggons,
fee. It was amtoeneed to the throng that no attempt would be
made to enter the Patk, but that the procession was to pro-
ceed on to St .11ainiebsotreet, Ste. So me hesitated, hut thegreater
number, seeing the cavalcade actually proceediug &rung
Piccadilly, doubted no longer, and followed us; by tine
mesas the este-are to Hyde-park was easily effected, and
bore that dreadful Scene we have now to deplete. Finding
a longer stoppage thee 1 can account for, I rode back and
ascertained that the hearse had proceeded through the Park;
at this time three parts of the OFFICIAL procession were
actually •toise Piccadilly ; finding this, I went to Sir
Robert Baker, who woe is consultatioa with the Command-
ing Officer of the Guards, and in the presence of matey
Gentlemen, who will come forward if necessary, I said,
" Sir Robert Baker, knowing you to be the Chief Magis-
trate, I took your word that the procession should go
through the City—you have broken your promise, and on
your own head be the consequences—l dread the result."
To this Sir Robert made so reply. Meeting Mr. Negri,
Waltman, Mr. Home, &e. they naturally 'asked for an ex-
planatioa, which I gave. Mr. Sheriff Widthwise requested
would inform the Lord Mayor of the circumstances here
detailed ; this I agreed to du, and wept with all speed to
the Mansion Holm tied related the whole. On leaving the
blaession House I went withal' baste to meet the procession,
which I did at Totteelsant-const-road, and there with grief
and horror learned the news of the outrage in the Park ;
eves there I sal the People charged with the bayouel by the
Foot Guardi, and driven through the streets in the meet
Inhuman manner. What followed ie the progress down
Tottenhosn-coort-road, Drury-lane, lee. I seed ash details
It Ileitis( been given most correctly is your Parr. I
cannot conclude 'Mout expressing my sorrow that Sir R.
Baker was induced to alter the determination he had come
to, of permitting the procession to go through the City : to
this eirCesestance 1 attribute the melancholy occurrouces in
the Park.
August IS. WILLIAM GREIG, 31, City-road. ,

Advice, have been received from Jamaica, to as
late a date as the 29.11 of June. The news is
scanty, and of • negative kind, as it is not con-
firmed that the Patriots had again got po.session of
La Guirs. No news had been received respecting
Lord COCHRAN E, of a later date than that before
obtained ; it was concluded, therefore, that Lima
had tii.t fallen, or the intelligence would have
reached Jamaica.
On the intelligence arriving at A berystwith of the
termination of the contest for Carmarthen, every
demonstration of joy took place. At Glanrneidol,
the seat of Gsoaas 13ossats, Esq. in that
neighbour! ood, a bonfire was lighted, and • sup-
per and several barrel' of ale were distributed by
that hospitable Gentleman to a numerous as-
semblage. On the arrival of Mr. JONES in the
neighbourhood of Cardigan, a bonfire was lighted
on the summit of Breniiirawr, one of the highest
mountains in South Wales. The last contest which
happened at Carmarthen, was in the year 1780, on
the close of the great contest for the county of
Pembroke.
The Coroner's Inquest on the body of GEORGE
FRANCIS, the man who was wounded at the top of
Park-lane on Tuesday, and died in St. George's
Hospital yesterday morning, will be held at the
Triumphant Chariot. in Pembroke-mews. Groove-

IMPORTANT TO SOLICITORS, AND TISEPR
FAMILIES.
CANDLER AND OTHERS P. CANDLES, PAIIiINGToIt,

'AND OTHERS.
Mr. HEALD. Counsel fur the Defendant Pert-
ington, moved, that en injunction granted by his
Honour the Vice-Chancellor to restrain the De•
r fondant from collecting sod getting in the cte,hts .
due to Henry Candler, the testator, as a eolicitgr. .
or to his representatives, should be dissoirgil,:.-eNsl '
also an order, appointing a receiver,
ioelarsold lie
discharged. It appeared that Itenry.k.andler the
elder naa a solicitor, and took int% partnership the
Defendant, Henry Candler the younger, under an
agreement, that if he, Henry the elder,was to die, that
Henry the younger should carry on the profession
of a solicitor for the mutual profit of himself awl
the widow and children of Henry the elder. This
aercernesit was further coefirtned by the will
of Heory the elder, who shortly after died.
Some time after the death of the testator,
the Defendant, Henry Candler the younger, as-
signed over the debts of the partnership to another
solicitor, the Defendant Partington, who refused
tv account to the Plaintiff-, the widow and iiifsnt
children of the testator, for the debts due to the
parnership, or the 'woke arising from it, on which
they filed tl.eir present bill, and obtained the in-
junction from his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. The
Defendants aftetwaids applied to his Honour to
dissolve the injunction, which application he re-
fused. The present motion was in the shape of sn
appeal from that decision. The Learned Coons. I
contended, that for the purposed this application the
facts of the case must be left out of the question, for
the success of it must entirely depend on the con-
struction of the Act of Parliament of the 516411 of
Geo. H. for regulating the profession of Solicitor.,
c. 46, viz.—" And whereas divers persons who are
not examined, sworn; and admitted to act as attor-
neys or solicitors in any Court of Law or Equity
do, in conjunction with, or by the assistance or
connivance of certain sworn attorneys and solicitors,
and by various subtle contrivances, intrude them-
selves into and act and practise in the office and
business of attorneys and solicitors, to the great
prejudice and loos of many of his Majesty's soh-
jects, and the scandal of the profession of the Law :
Be it therefore enacted, that from and after the
49th of September, which shall be in the year of
our Lord 1749, if any sworn attorney or solicitor shall
act as wilt for any person or persons not duly
qualified to act as an attorney or solicitor as afore-
said, or permit his name to be any ways merle is.e of
upon the account, or for the profit orally unqualified
person or persons, thereby to enable him or them to
appear, act, or practise in any respect *eau attorney of
solicitor. knowing him not to be duly qualified as
aforesaid, and complaint shall be made thereof in
Soy summary way to the Court from a hence any
such process did issue, and proof made thereof
upon oath to the satisfaction of the Court, that such
sworn attorney or solicitor had offended therein as
aforesaid, then and in such case every such attorney
or solicitor so offending shall be struck off the roll,
and for ever after be disabled from practising as so
attorney or solicitor ; sod in that ease, and upon
such complaint and proof mode, as aforesaid, it
shall and may be lawful to, and for the raid Court
to commit such un4ualified persons so acing or
practising as aforesaid, to the prison of the said
Court for any term not exceeding one year." He
therefore contended that the partnership was illegal,
end could not be upheld by the Court; for it the
Defendant Candler was to carry it into execution,
he would be liable to be struck eff of the roll of
the Court as a solicitor, and the Planet: ffs to im-
primiument under the Act of Parliament. It
Ilskid been determined that one solicitor had the
eight to sell his business to another, and under
that authority the Defendant Partingtoil had
purchased the business of the Defendant Candler,
and he was not answerable to the Plaintiffs
for thetroceede of it. Under those circumstances
he had no doubt but his Lordship would direct the
injunction to be dissolved.
Mr. WAKEFIELD followed on the same side.
Mr. WINGFIELD, Counsel fur the Plaintiffs, said
he was ready to meet his Learned Friends upon the
clause of the Act of Parliament which by their own
shewiog was the only one applicable to this case.
The pleamble of the clause sheered that the atisiltiaf
which the Legislature was anxious to guard against
wss the intrusion of unqualified persons into the ho-
liness of an attorney, by collation with regular dr ad-
NI Ved attorneys. It could not be contended that the
testator, by this family contract, intended that the
Plaintiffs should act as attorneys in the name of
the Defendant Cat.dler, or that ht should permit
his name to be made use of for the profit of an
nativalified person ; it was only intended that he
should act as an attorney, and when by so doing
he had reashsed in his own person certain profits,
they were to be divided with the Plaintiffs, which
arrangement did not fell within the meaning of the
Act of Parliament. It was • ease which recurred
every day, of established solicitors taking junior
partners, and the junior partner, to consideration of
the sarstance and recommendation of the seilier.
agreed that *Per the decease of the latter, lis. t.,-
roily should participate iii the profits of the liii,:-
miss. He, therefore, had no doubt but his Lord-
ship would be of opinion, that the decision ut but
Honour the Vice•Chaucellor should nut be dis-
turbed.
Mr. HEALD replied.
The LORD CHANCELLOR —se This is a question
of too much importance, as it regards solicitor*
and their families, to be decided ou motion, there-
fore it will be necessary to have the opinion of a
Court of Law on it. 1 had uoubted whether it
was legal that a solicitor should receive a rum of
money from another solicitor to recommend him to
his business, not on account of the legal ability of
the person to be so recommended, but on account
of the sum received from hint by the recom-
mender. The Count of King's Beach, however, was
of a different opinion, sad of course I submit to
their decision, but I meet confess I do it with
reluctance.-_1 mean, a doubt still remains it
my mind as to the rectitude of that decoooo. i
to the Act of Parliament of the S6Ol of Geoslie

'

it is moot explicit, and no one can &alit what USI
the intention of the Legislature in enacting it, hot
that it was to prevent persons from acting ea min
citors who were not clothed with the authority 411,
the Court. There is another Act of Peel/ImMl,l
of • later date, which bears on the ovedidsisolie
Act of the 41st George 111. regaled's" 4ONS bUSt
ries, of antaries public, wherein thaw are these
words: " that no person shell be entitled to the
profits of • notary except the wife, &c. of a de-
reused sworn notary." Then the question is, whe.
titer these words are necessary? for, if necelintry iu
the Notaries' Act they would be so iu the Solicitor's.
My own opinion is, they are not necessary, and that
the Vice.Chuncellor was right in granting the in.
junction and appointing a receiver. I therefore
confirm his order." His Lordship then usher' Mr.
Mills, the solicitor, of Porliument.sveet, what he

had always understood to be the usage in the pro.
torsion in such a case
Mr. MILLS replied, that it was stook in case of
solicitor. being' partners, and one of them dying,
that the representatives of the deceased partner were
entitled to the proportionate share of the profits.
The LORD CRANCIILLOR—" t am of opinion
the beet mode of construing en Act of Parliament
of this mauve is according to the construction of
solicitors who hare acted under it."
Motion dismissed.

CRUELTY TO A CHILD+

For several auks past a report, which became very p►e-
vakrt, bas been circulated in the neighbourhood of Pad.
disarm', that a mart and his wale, named Moore, residing
it Brown's-row, nese the Cost, were la the constant habit
of must inhonsaaly beatiug:,their chill, a tittle girl about
eleven years old, and keeping her chained* her leg to a
poet of sideboard isa a back room, and allowing ►er bread
and water for her susicuasee. The report at first pitted
very little credit, and the inhabitarts were led to believe
that it was erroueua., and act afloat from motives df ma-
lice; hut yesterday the report was suthenticiated by a young
woman, who acted u servant to the visual rral ',arcane, meta-
tioriiag the cruel treatment that bad been and was then exer-
cised or the poor child by her made► and mistress, to a Mrs.
kiwis, s near ooig►boar, who instantly communicated what
oho had heard to Moore and Peters, the coutablos, who
west directly to the house, and were let is by the inhuman
mother, to whom they made knows the object of their visit.
The woman stoutly denied t►e charge, bat the officers rushed
up
stairs, and is a back-room oo the first Boor they disco-
vered the object of their search silting on a stool in
the teener of the room picking flocks, and fattened with a
large chain by theright leg to the leg of a table, or side.
board, Axed la the room, the ehain at each end was locked
with a padlock ; tie officers, who were accompanied by two
of the Neighbours, were horrified, and expressed their deter-
mination to palish the parents. Moore asked fur the key of
tie padlock that fastened the chain to the table, but was
told flytbe mother her husband had it with him, and he was
not at home ; she, unperceived, unlocked the owe to the leg
of the child, and atteutpted to throw it out of t►e window
into the Canal, bat we .prevented by the officers. Shortly
after the husband came home, and both be and his wife,
together with their victim, were taken before the Magistrates
at the Pulice.offiee, in High•street, Mary-le-bone, and aster

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

About one o'clock in the morning of Thursday last, the
engine-house of that old and valuable establishment, knows
by the same of the Northonsberland 'Glass Manufactory,
.situated in the Close, in ibis town, was discovered to be on
Are. The situation of the premises was such as caused the
greatest alarm in the neighbourhood. 'Contiguous, on the
west side, were the extensive soap-works of Messrs. Dosb!e-
day sad Co.; on the oast, the mansion-house, Mews. D.
wnd Co.'s conatieg•hosse, and a yard, in which were nearly
1,800 barrel, of rosin ; sad to the north, on the opposite
side of t►e street (which is very barrow), there are bond
cellars, containing a very large stock of spirits, and another
cellar in which were about 400 casks of tallow and brim-
stone. Added to these circumstances there was a brisk wind,
but it was fortunately from the west, and consequently mate•
rially assisted the engines in preserving the soap-manufac-
tory from the destroying element. It was the rause, how-
