FUNERAL OP THE HANOVERIANS.

Neither the memory of man, nor the annals of
history furnish us with a more deplorable instance
of the consequences of fire, than that we laid before
our readers on Saturday last, relative to those un-
fortunate people. The inhabitants of Chelmsford,
anxious to remove from the minds of the survivors
any unfavourable impression they might have en-
tertained, in consequence of the fatal and unexped-
ed aicident'which had occurred, determined en in-
terring the bodies with the most attentive decency
and respea, and had resolved to follow their tin-
fumigate remains to the grave ; but a doubt arising
as to their military charades.% an express was im-
mediately forwarded to His Royal Highness the
Duke of York, who, to mark his extreme concern,
and to testify his high regard for the loyalty and
zeal of these unhappy people, who, having escaped
the cruel oppression of the French, had entered into
the service of the United Kingdom, was pleased
to direa that the unhappy sufferers should be
interred with all military honours. In conse-
quence of which orders were issued for the full
attendance of the garrison on Friday morning.
—The coffins, containing the remains of the tie-
, ceased, being. previously removed into the Shipp--
Inn Yard, in order • to make the melancholy
spedacle as impressive as possible, by passing
through the town, which was lined with troops
from thence to the church, forming a line for the
procession to pass unmolested through the vast
concourse of people assembled on the occasion to
witness this unexampled parade. An awful and re-
spedful silence introduced it in the following manner :

L.lll' REPORT.

COURT OF CiiANCTI: Tt'eSDAY, Act. SO.

ASSIONELE OR )Allll ATT r. COOI)ALL AND MARTIN.
This was an apel:cation to the Court for an in-
junetinn, under the following c:rctimstances :
Jarrett and others had entered into a concern in
a privateer celted the Cath,r:ar and Maru, to the
command of which Mr. Goodall was appoieted.
On the IGth i f June, letters of roar ere were granted
for the capture of ships belonging to the United
Provinces, end on the day prior to this grant, the
privateer fell in with the CaPne!;at cud 211,,re,;,
Dutch ship. and captured her Proceedings were
had in the Court of Admiralty I-s the application
of the produce of this prize, which amounted to
the sum of 22;0001. The capture being made one
day prior to the date of the letters of marque, the
prize was not the legal prepetty of the owners of
the privateer, hut she was condemned, and became
the property of the Croen. It appeatiog, however,
to the Lords of the Treasury. that, after the valour
that hat been al:Tiered in this capture, it was not
reasonable that the trifling anticipation in the date
of the letters of mittqtte :holed preclude the crew
end the owners of the privateer from the benefit of
this prize, a royal warrant was issued, direninge
first, a reserve of a certain sum for agency due to
Mr. Jarrett; next, that the Register of the Court of
Admiralty should pay the remainder of the pro-
ceeds into the hands of the Defendants, Messrs.
Goodall and Martin, for the benefit of the crew, and
the proprietors; and thirdly, that these payees should
give full amity for the delivery of the fruits of the
prize, in due proportion.
Messrs Pinoire and WI, ATHER 11. applied to the
Court, that the Register of the Admiralty reigle be
direned to pay the whole of the funds into the hands
of the Accountant-General of this Court, instead of
!Living it exposed to the risk of remaining with the
Defeed rots, as the Plaintiffs were entitled to a lien
upon this property. until the amotiet of the outfit of
the privateer was discheiged; until an anion at law
had determined whether Mr. Jarrett was entitled to
e per Cent. agency; anJ until all the accounts were
liquidated wiih the representatives ofth.st bankrupt.
The Arlene and M . . Rommel,
and Ruste resisted this it ju Rion. They said, ari
the accoii• ts were settled. excepting what related to
the 1,2001. which they were willing to have im-
poun led, but thet it would b extremely severe on
the Defendente if, after the gallantry they had dis-
played, the sum of 22,0)01. were to he locked ap
in the Court of Chancery. Captain Gnodall had
stated, that the consequence would be to him. that
he must himself he made bankrupt, and to his
brave companions in (Linger, that they must perish
in duff rent gaols of the kinedom, instea f of exert-
ing their courage in the &ince of their country.
Ibe Learned Counsel peened out the condition of
embarrassment to which both the Court of Chan-
cery, and of Admiralty. e nuld he cap sed, if his
Lordship were to interfere on the present occasion,
to prevent the Regiater of fie Marine Court from
doing what he was alithorisee to do. not only by
the Judge of that Court. but what he was con-
strained to execute wrier a royal warrant. On
these grounds they trusted,thet the application would
not only be dismissed. but dismissed with costs.
Loa* Cteascceeoa—e This is a motion of great
consequence, and it is the more important, because
it is new in its kind. The motion prays nothiee
less than this: that an iejureflion shoul t be grant,..),
to prevent the captain, the crew, and the proprietors
of this privateer, from receiving that money, which
the king, under his warrant, has commanded they
should receive. Evers proper security is asatened
to the present Plaintiffs, ter it ie ordered, prior to
the delivery of- the money to the Defendant , that
hail should be given. The property was the King's;
elis Mejeste has resieeed his right, in favour of eels
tail parties, and he has pointod out a periiculer
mode in which that right shall be me tendered.
Messrs. Goodell ant Martin have as yet received
nothing, tad the question is this :—lf, under these
circumstances, even before the trust is created, the
Court is to issue the injussetion reprised. which
would be to do this—to say that His Majesty 114.1
no right to do what he had taken upon himself to
perform. The motion is not only new. hut danger-
ous, and ought to be dismissed with costs.'

ship ati.ges, dated Spithead, °Sober 49,
