THE LATE DAria .Corr, £SQ.

Yesterday,
were remove

remains of this most worthy mau

and interred in the family vault in St. Mary:la-bonne
burying-ground. The funeral WAS attended by the
relations, and most intimate connesclions and friends
of the deceased. It was condußed with the greatest
s,lemnity, but, at the same time, in that plain, unoa-
tentatious manner, so consistent with the uniform
tenor of his life.

Mr. Scott had for many years labonred under a
disease, the cause of which had baffled the sagacity
and ,kill of the most eminent medical men in the
kingdom. We understand that, with that philan-
thropy which so eminently distinguished his cha-
raEler, he direeted that his body should be opened
after his death, that the seat and cause of his com-
plaint might be ascertained, for the benefit of man-
kind. This was accordingly done by a very emi-
nent surgeon and anatomist, Mr. Frye, of Glou-
cester, when his disease was found to have been a
schitrus in the pylorus.

A Military Court of Enquiry commenced its sit-
tings at the Hotel, in Leeds, on Thursday, before
H•t.t. PLunta, Esq. Colonel Commandant of the
Aiosty of York Volunteers, President; Major
.tir winvoxru, of the North West Riding Cavalty ;
Major AWK LSWO 11114, of the Wharfdalc Infantry;
Captain Coccsnorr, of the Craven Legion; and
Captain COOKSON, of the Leeds Volunteer infantry.
The business of the Court was to investigate a num-
ber of charges brought by several members of the
Halifax troop of Volunteer Cavalry, against Captain
Ingram, their Captain-Commandant, charging him
with an improper appropriation of monies entrusted
to him in his military capacity. On Thursday, the
Court went through the charges, and Friday morn-
ing the Captain entered upon a very able defence,
which he closed about twelve o'clock. The Court
closed its investigation in the afternoon, hut the de-
cision will not be known till it has been laid before
His MAJESTY. - _

Tuesday, as the first division of the Lancashire
Militia was on its march from Dorchester to Brid-
port, they stepped to take some refreshment at
Longbredy Hut, when one of them stole the land-
lord's watch ; it WAS Soon missed, and the landlord
pursued and overtook them before they reached
Bridport, and acquainted the Commanding Otticar
of it, who immediately halted the men, ordered a
search, and found the watch in the knapsack of the
thief; be was diredly tried, and sentenced to 8(10
lathes, whsch were inflided nn the spot.
On Friday and Saturday, prizes were fought for,
with single-stick, at Botley. There was some of the
finest playing ever known in Hampshire. A gentle-
man from Somersetthire, won the grand prise of IS
guineas, which he afterwards diArihnted Am.ng
the unsuccessful combatants. The crowd of spear-
tors was very great.
Couastact.—The match that was to have been
run on the 10-dey of the next Milton Meeting, be-
twixt Mr. MELLISH'S black Jog (got by Surn.b.S),
borrowed by Mr. Lascetets, and Major TOP-
F 1 AMN black dog, Snowdrop (got by Sootrbefi). for
lot) guineas, has been forfeited to Major rurn A M'S
Sm4wirop. Mr. Met. Lisle' dog has, as yet, never
been beaten by any greyhound brought agaiast him.
