The mortal remains of this distinguished artist and
scholar were deposited yesterday in a private vault in the
Cathedral of St. Paul's, close to that of his great friend and
admirer, Sir Joshua Reynolds. The funeral, although
private, was sufficiently attended to show the deep interest
in which the worth and genius of this highly-gifted man
were held. His acquirements in literature and science
shed a lustre upon the arts, and dignified the institution of
which be was a member.

The funeral was conducted by Messrs. France and
Banging, Pall-mall, and the outer coffin, inclosing the
leaden one, was covered with rich black velvet, and the
plate bore the following inscription:—
" Henry Fuseli, Esq., Master of Arts. Royal Academician.
Professor of Painting. and Keeper of the Royal Academy of
London, died A pril lei, 1825, aged 86 yearn."

Dust..—A duel was fought on Saturday morning at
Earna-court, Kensington, between Captain II- and
Mr. W—. Captain H. fired in the air, and then de-
manded of Mr. W. to retract the words he made use of,
which he declined to do. They then reloaded, and, in
the second round, Mr. W. received Captain H.'s ball in the
left arm, just above the elbow. The seconds now in-'
terfered, and the business terminated. The quarrel :arose
from some disrespectful language used by Mr. W. con-
cerning a young lady who recently eloped with Capt. H.
CA!fADIAN'CIIIEFII.—On Friday last these interesting
individuals were conducted over Messrs. Barclay's brenhouse, and
also visited the Asylum for Deaf and Dumb, and the Blind School,
and evinced much interest in viewing the different departments of
those establishments. At the Asylum fur Deaf and Dumb they
were remarkably struck on being accosted in French by one of the
assistants, who had formerly been a pupil in the echo]. They
were met by some of the stewards of the Anniversary Dinner,
who invited them to dine with the friends of the Institution to-
morrow, at the City of London Tavern, when the Duke of Glouces-
ter will take the chair at half-past live. They very thankfully ac-
cepted an invitation to dine with a cousin of their great father,
King George, and promised to attend in full costume.
