THE LATE Ma. Baouts.—We understand the
Independent Electois of Westmin,ter intend to
meet next Tuesday, the day of the funtra of this
ouch-respected Gentleman, and accompany the
body from Hyde Park to the Savoy Church in the
Strand, where his remains will he interred in the
family vault. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, who is now
at Rath. ha, intimated his intention of coining up
to London, to *hew his respect for the decessee,
by following his remains to the grave.
From a Report just made by the Comm;:fee fir
promoting the coosumplion of smoke in the town
and neighbourhood of Leeds, it appears that these
ore in that township ty .team-engines, shout
fifty of which are entirely without hurnere, about
thirty with inefficient burners, and not more than
ten or twelve with efficient burners.

The anniversary meeting of that excellent instia
tuition the Horticastle Dispetintry, on the 3d inst.
was more numerously and fashionably attended
than it has been for several years. The excellence
of the sermon preached in the morning by the Rev.
Archdeacon I _XxiNGWORTH, Vise justly uppreciated
by the congregation, who testified, by their liberal
contributions at the church doors, that the seed
sown had fallen on georl ground. At three o'clock,
the Hon, and Rev. the Champion Dvinotte (the
patron of the institution) and the stewards. with a
large party of gentirmrii. sat down to a unlit sump.
tunny d er at the Ball Inn. The ball in the
evening, at the new Assembly Rooms, was the remit
of the moat distinguished beauties in the county,
and greatly enlivened by the elegant attentions of
the amiable patroness; the supper, which consisted
of all the delicacies of the scion's, caused a short in-
terruption to the dancing, which was resumed with
great spirit to a late hour.
On Friday evening, between the hours of seven
and eight. this part of the country was visited by s
heavy storm of rain and lightning, which came
from the westward. The rain fell in torrents, and
the lightning was awfully ►ivtd. It was with much
difficulty the drivers of the atage•coscheit, boil von
this and the Diver rood, could manage their horsts,
so frightened were they ■t the broad flashes that
played arauud them, and which, in two or three in-
at seers, we heaseastapiately enveloped the coaches in
a kiwd ei Woe time, that for the moment blinded
the Pee'elenetee Meow •after the storm had subsided,
wbeentiful lunar rainbow made its appearance in
the hennas, almost due north. This interesting
object. larch was visibly observed by many of the
inhabitants of this lowa, resented a curvature em-
bracing a conoidemble span. and the dark and rain-
fraught clouds that occupied the back ground, dis-
played this richly diversified arch of beauty to con-
siderable adenotage.—(Maidsfone lonised, Oc-
