to his memory showed how universally he irstemeereed,
All the shops were closely shut up, and mmirof tbe in.
habitants have gone into mourning. The vilifiers and in.
habitants were admitted into the galleries of the church,
which were nearly filled by ten o'clock. The band of die
hlontpellier Spa having ceased playing at half.past nine
o'clock, an immense crowd awaited the arrival of themourn-
ful procession in the Church-yard. At half-past eleven it
entered the clidrch, the pulpit, &c. being covered with black
cloth. immediately the organ commenced playing the "Bid
March in Saul." The burial service was read by the Rev.
Mr. hVilliams, of Charlton Kings. The Anthem " I barest
Cod always before me," was very elf, ctively sung by the
choir. The funeral was attended by most of the children
of the resident gentlemen of Cheltenham and its vicinity,
as well as the clergy, of all denominations. After the
corpse had been deposited in the vault, it was affecting to
see the multitudes who thronged to take a last glimpse of
the remains of their beloved Pastor.
The late Mr. Jervis, had for many months, on the Sun.
day evenings, delivered a series of discourses on the Litur-

one lecture to complete it; the text was to have been

victory ?"

His Majesty's ship Thetis, Captain Sir John Phillimore,
has arrived from Rio de Janeiro, charged with despatches
from Lord Ponsonby. She arrived in 51 days at Ports-
mouth. Papers of the 11th of August have been received
by her, but their contents arc unimportant. There was no
prospect of the war ending with the Buenos Ayrean Go.
vernincnt, nor had any late advice, been received from
that quarter. Some forgeries on the Bank of Brazil had
been detected. The private letters mention, that orders
had been received to discharge the cargoes of the reeds
sent to Rio Janeiro de for breach of the, blockade of Buenos
Ayres into the custom-house storehouses, to await further
proceedings. Lord Ponsonhy was about to proceed mete
River Plate in the Doris frigate, and the English Aingiral
had sailed for Bahia. A copy of a letter, dated Vienna,
12th May, is given in one of the papers, from Don Miguel
to his brother, expressing his regard and loyalty to his
Imperial Majesty. It was reported at Rio de Janeiro that
Lord Ponsonby and the Captain of, his Majesty's ship
Thetis had had some high words on the voyage out, and
that the latter hail ordered Lord Ponsinby below in cons:-
sequence ; but we cannot credit it.

Papers and letters from Rio Janeiro were yesterday

statement, that no recent engagement has taken place be-
tween the hostile fli ets in the river Plate. There is no po-
litical intelligence in these papers. 'fhe private letters
state there was a gossiping story circulated respecting a
fracas between Lord Ponsoeby and the Commander of lie
Majesty's ship 'Thetis. On the voyage outward the former,
it is said, had appeared in a cotton jacket, which the Cap.
tain of an English man of wat would not brook, and or•
dered him below, after interchanging some sharp words.

The next arrivals from Batavia will be interesting: they
will bring us the particulars of the commencement of the

Tae POI.ICE MAGISTRATES OF CALCUTTA.—A tri'd•
which seems to have excited a strong feeling throughout
all classes of society' in India, took place before the Su-
preme Court, at Calcutta, on the 2lst of April. The ease
was nothing less than a prosecution against the four Magis-
trates of the Calcutta P dice (J. B. Birch, W. C. lila-
quiere, P. Andrews, and A. St. L. M'Mahon, &qrs.), kr
corruptly conspiring to prevent the course of Justices tat
having refused to take the oath and deposition of one -
bee Monoonah, a Portuguese female, when she offered ID
swear the same, and required them to take sureties of the
peace against certain Chinese who had threatened to take
her life. The evidence, which was of great length, did
not support all the statements in the indictment: and, after
hearing the Advocate-General for the defence, and the
summing up of the Judge, the Ary found a verdict or
Guilty against Mr. John Brereton Birch only, upon one
the counts. The Chief Justice sentenced Mr. Birch to pay
a flue of 200 rupees to the King; adding, " that imPtr
