C. Elliot, and Lemtoro his wife, were charged with ill.
treating their son, R. Elliot, nine years old, by keepieg him
tied with a leather strap to a bedstead, quite naked, and vely
often without a sutlitieriey of the common necessaries of life.
Mrs. Lee, a genteel looking young woman, said, I 4111 0
widow, and the mother of two children. In the month of
June last I went out us servant to Miss 'Matthews, to lodge
itt the house of Mr. and Mrs. Elliot, in Fisher-sts eet,
Lion-squere. About a fortnight after I eame there, while 1
was Husking up the bed, i heard a ere in sr l.int voice, as if
from some person in shores*. 1 :smelled for a while, anti
heard the same voice call out in A eery neon aid manner far
a little iireail and water; not kill/wing that (hi re were any
other persins• in the Itlame than those I had attcaliy seen,
became alarmed, and was noxious to useertain from whom
the voice lind proceeded. I went tip stairs, and beimd the
same voice, Se if from a child in the upper garret. I looked
in ihrongli the key-hole ; but /Venn the situation of the fOOlll.
I could only eye a bedstead. I then called nut, and was
rause toed by a child Ilion within. I asked what it wanted,
4,1:1 it answered, " Give me a little bread and a little water."
Alarmed for the sitnetiou of the child, whom I supposed to
have been neglected by the family, I went clown and conk,
,indicated what I had heard to me mistress, mid by her per.
mission, I weed down and told Mrs. Elliot (the mother) that
child was up stairs calling out for bread. She said I was
mistaken ; but I replied that it ermlil nut be, for I 111111 spoken
to the child, who had told use it vitiated hired. 'l%, this she
answered, "Oh 1 its my fool " She gave me no further
es-
plauation then, and I was still in ansiuty alma the situ:dims
of the child, and was lotto snit' to have a view of it. I
believe it was the next day, or the day after, that I saw the
brother of die child go up stairs. I followed him, and f mud
that lie was going to the attic, where the young child was
confined. When I saw him open the door I asked to be ail..
milted; bat lie refiiscrl,saying his mother would be displeased
if she found that any person hot those of the family were to
see Ism. I still persisted, and forced lily way lulu the room,
where I beheld a speciar le that finite shocked me. 'flirt poor
/Add was niti,ed as It VAMP into the moil 1, and fastened by a
leather strap so the post of a bedstead ; the strap was fastened
over one shoulder, mid Calll.l rOllll,l under the 1/ispOsile
The stench of the room, fiurn the Wit with whirl' the child
was surrounded, was almost insupportable; the buy who Caine
to visit it had brought with hins A few eritsis of bread ;mil some
water. After this I 64400011 y bentd she e! titt i ery,a4 it some
person was beating it; 1111-411 11,4,11 ttle Sl/11111:11 Of ships, at it
gisfea to it; but they slid not seem to be severe, nor 14 It
give'. with any improper weapon: I ..new lite his brother
Anil sister frequently beat him. When asked whether she
had ever spokeu to :llrs. Elliot on the suloe.o, after the first
interview, ens answered, se Yes, Italy trequently ;" I
Wiest said ilt her, 4‘ surely you may send the poor child to the
work lionise, where he will be kept clean, aud every a: tenti. IS
paid to Min without tiny expellee. I'o this she replied." that
woold cost mu too notch." 1 asked her how lunch it would
cost; and she answered it would cost .24. or 3s. a week, and
that would do at home. I very often gave bread and meat to
give to the child, but I found that be never got any of it t
and I :u saw her give it to her other children, and eat
some herself. I one day beard the little boy crying very
bitterly, nod calling for bread, on which I went down to Mrs.
EWA snit said, your child is crying for something to eat,
pray do let it !circa little. To this she replied, "Oh! hang st,
1 wish it was dead ; 1 could cut its threat if I dare I" When.
ever 1 SIW the child, it wa. always ill the same looked and
filthy slate in which I saw it on the first occasion. To this
evidence the stillness udded her belief that the father of the
child was not couszimis of All the treatment it received, tat
that when he was spekeu to about it, be sold it should have
whatever it wanted.

Mrs. I)leriingtiiii lodged in F.lliors house at the period men•

LON 130 N. :

MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1818.

We yesterday received the l'aris Papers of Wednes-
day last. They contain no other information respecting
the state of the Funds, than what is to be found in the
usual mention of their price, and according to that
authority, the Five per cents. remained at 69. We
learn, however, that an express which left Paris on
Wednesday, brings the intelligence that the settling of
the November account had passed over more quietly
than was expected ; and that no failures of any conse-
quence had talon place, in consequence of the timely
support which was extended to those who trust other-
wise have given way.
The following are extracts from these Papers :

" PARIS, DEC. 2.—Yesterday the King sent to ex-
press his condolence with the Princess Dowager de
Roban-Rochefort and the Duke de Brissac, on the oc-
casion of the death of the Dowager Duchess de
Brissac.

" his Excellency the English Ambassador was not
present at the-presentation of the Diplomatic Corps at
the Thuileries, it being the day app:,ilted for the in-
terment of the late Queen of England. From the
mare cause, all the English in Paris were attired in
deep mourning.
" As we have already announced, the Duke of Wel-
lington arrived in Paris on the eveni+eg of the 30th
His Grace's carriage broke down on the boulevard, and
the Noble Duke repaired on foot to his hotel. His
Grace declined the guard •of honour which had been
posted at his residence. Yesterday, the Duke de
Richelieu went to visit his Grace, but he was ,absent.
" A letter from Tanis, dated the Ist ult. states, The
plague has commenced its annual ravages, and all com-
anemia operations are paralysed.. Although from two
to three hundred persons die daily, the victims are ail
Mahometans ; the Christians and eke) the Jews, pre-
serve thensaelvos from this scourge by precautions which
the Akorgto prohibits Nlassnlmen •to adopt. The dis-
ease dues not appear to be of so malignant a nature a.;
heretofore ; we are, howeve ~c•untelled tu confine .out-

IMF STAtioNAT, nravergn

selves in our habitations: the contagion is caught by
touching, or communicating with, the infected.'
" Coteetit, Nov. 23.—His Royal Highness the
Duke tlAnguidente arrived in this town on the 17th
inst. to the great jf)y of all the inhabitants, who had ex-
pected him with the utmost impatience.- The entlia-
siasitic manner in which they welcomed the Prince, co ild
not tail to impress the Royal Visitor with the senti-
ments of fidelity and attachment entertained by the
popvlation of the Haut-Rhin, towards their good Mo-
narch and his illustrious house. His Royal Highness
dined at the Prefecture, where a magnificent banquet
had been prepared. Alter having honoured with his
preacnce the public and private institutions and este-
blisinnents, and visited with a truly paternal interest
the various manutirctories of Colmar, the Prince pre-
pared to depart on the morning of the 19th.
" At the moment that his Royal Highness was step-
' ping into his carriage, Lieut. General Puthod, senior of
the half pay officers who accompanied Win, and whom
they had deputed as the organ of their sentiments,
meats, presented himself' to express their adieus to the
Prince, which he did in a discourse, the priaeipal points
of which were nearly as follow :
" Prince,--We could nut let you depart without
renewing to your Royal Highness the assurance of
our respect. We do not beleag to that class of men
who go about proclaiming their fidelity ; we do not
belong to thot class who mount the roofs to cry Vice le
lloi! our fidelity exists in the heart ; but, Prince, we
are of the number of those who know how to die in the
service of their King, as they have shewn, that they
can sacrifice themselves for that of their country.
" ' For the repose of Europe, Prince, we do not
wish to be called upon to give proofs of this; but if the
period should arrive, that the honour of the Crown, on
which depend the tranquillity and welfare of France
should require them—ltis then, Prince, that you would
observe and judge of us, and that you could rally under
your stendards tens of thousands of brave men who
think as we do ; yes, my Prince, I dare affirm it to
your Royal Highness, of these brave men, upon whom
one day of error and a hundred days of misfortune
have entailed diseste.ein and too protracted an obscurity.'
" The Prince appeared deeply affected by the feeling
accent and the tone of military frunknessuf the General;
he condescended to press his hand, and said with visible
emotion—' My friends, I accept your sentiments ; we
shall one day see each other again.
" General Puthod added—' We arc not oratory, we
know only the eloquence of feeling; we open to you
our hearts. They belong to the King, to you, and to
our country !'
" The Prince, on parting, delivered a thousand
francs to the Mayor to be distributed amongst the in-
digent."

French Funds.—Dec.l.—Five per Centg. 69f. Ex-
change on London, at 30 days, 23f. 45c. Ditto, 3
months, 23f. 25c.

The British troops that have evacuated Franee arc
now marching to the diffixent destinations assigned
them in their own country. One regiment, a regiment
of Foot Guards, marched iutu London on Friday—
other corps had preceded them; and we must own
that we felt some regret in seeing them enter the Capi
tal in separate bodies. We should have liked to have
had them all collected in the environs, and when the
whole wore assembled, have seen them niarch in tri-
umph into the Metropolis, over Waterloo-bridge, with
their bands of music playing, and their colours of vic-
tory displayed. It should have ken a day of joy and
jubilee.

Mr. Aubcn, physician at Constantinople, and Mr.
Laford, Physician at Srihmichi, affirm that vaccination
is a protection against the plague. Of 6,000 persons
vaccinated at Constantinople, not one has caught the
infixtion of the plague. The Armenians, who take
care to be vaccinated, remained film from the plague.
Lord Stewart, the English Ambassador to Vienna,
arrived at Frankfurt on the 24th ult. from Aix-la-

DEC'. 1

FUNEICIL OF THE QUEEN.

Weinman, being' tho day appoixted for the consign-
ment of the mortal remains of tier late Ntajvity to
their " kindrel dust," the roads to Kew were at an
early hour crowded to excess with persons on foot, on
horseback, and in all sorts of vehicles and conveyances,
hastening to view the melancholy procession, which
teaches, that Dmitit levels all distineziou of rink, of
fortune, and of purer. The Public o.Becs were all
shut up, and all the shops in t;ie nietropo;is were closed,
except those far the sale of the necessaries of lifc. At
the Exchange and the Docks all business was impend-
ed; and all who could afford it were arrayed in deceit
won riling.

At Kew the Honorary Guard, stationed at the Palace
while the remains of her lute Nlajesty were lying in
state, turned out at abuts half-past seven o'clock. The
Officers appeared with crape :curves and sashes—crape
was Act placed round their caps, and rotted the kilts of
their swords. They retuained on daty, in the trout of
the Pelace, until the royal remains were moved. At
eight o'clock, a demeement Hoist the 16th Lancers
made their appearance, slowly nuteing along the Wind-
ter road, and advancing towards Kew. They were
+tatio:text, in two bodies, on Kew Green. The road, in
the ein.o et' the Palace, was 'handled dur:ug the
morning, by snail parties of the 'Wad regimen:.
At half past eight o'cloek, the hearse, destined to
convey the royal corpse to Windsor. arrrivee at the
Palace. It was accempanied by 59 Uuderteker's
sistaats, on horseback, in deep mouraieg, with silk
scarves, hat-bands, &c. uad escorted by a body of
Lancers At this date the road lc:Klieg to the Palace
was greatly crowded The rued which runs through
the centre of Kow Green, was lined en each side writ
carriages, while an immense assemblage of peeple
al-
most tilled the space behind. The pathways kading to
Kew Bridge, and on to the Star and Garter, at the timt
of the bridge, were, in like manner, crowded. The
open
_space is trout of the Star and Garter, was oecu•
pied by several rows of every description of carriages,
loaded, inside and out, with spectators. The multi.
tilde extended u far as the eye could reach, in every
direction—and nut a window, a well, or a tree, from
which a glimpse of the procession was likely to be ob-
tained, was untenanted.
At a quart;•r after nine o'clock, an additional nuetb,e.
of Lancers scoured the roads, and prevented the up.
remelt of carriages, exeept those belonging to p..•rsous
who were to take a part in the salcuitt eeremtny. Sean
after the large body of Lancers, who had been sta-
tioned on Kew Green, moved towards the Palace. A
part of them formed on each side of the road, obliging
the spectators to fall back pretty close to the Thames.
The remainder of this body ware subdivided into two
parties—one to precede, and one to follow the lie.arse.

At ten o'clo;I: the pfression was funned in the EA.

An unusual eagerness prevailel to pass the bride and

people were rushing like a torrent—but he was im-
mediately borne away by the stream, and had nearly
fallen a victim to his 1.44. It would have been b✓th

the Rovel Ceinetry, the order of the ceremonial already
rehli,hed was observed, with the exeeption of an altera-
tion as to the State and Household Officers.
The procession, arrived at St. George's Chapel nearly
ee hour sooner than had been expected ; and some in-
«mvenience resulted from tkis unusual excess of rine-
taality We understood that several persons, who::e
leisiness it was to fbrm part of the chapel preeessien,
arrived too lute to gain admittance. The Chanceilor ul
the Exchequer and Lord Bathurst were exclatled ;
some of the higher officers of the Queen's Househoht
gained admittance with great difficulty.
The number of persons admitted as visitors into St.

of the preparation itself, was very until, being limited
Venther, who were allewed, by limns of tickets,
to pass by the eastorn dour of the chapel, adjoining to
the deanery, end to tithe their station in the organ-
-Jell, from whence a tolerable view both of the entrance
of the procession and the solemn cencluding ceremony
could be obtained.
At eight o'clock the notes of the •organ were heard,
and the thw choir en-ere:4, each singer bearing a lighted
taper in his hand, and singing the well-known anthem
from Croft's burial service. The strength and com-
pleteness of this choral band, at least treble the usual
number allotted to the cathedral service, and the select
members of the principal choirs in and near the me-
tropolis, breaking in upon the silence which bethre
prevailesi, produstel an effect truly solemn and impres-
sive. The procession then entered by the south door
of the chapel, nearly in the same order as given in the
-ceremonial previously arranged for the obsequies of her
Majesty.
'l'he Royal body having been carried to the steps of
the altar, was placed on the .platform prepared to re-
sceive it ; the pall was removed, and the crown and
cushion was placed on the coffin. The Prince Regent,
as chief mourner, being seated in a chair at the head
of the corpse, surrounded by his supporters and trait*.
hearers, standing, the funeral service. commenced in the
t:sual mummer, as perfOrmed at cathedrals, and at the
demise of great and illustrious persons. The first Psalm
having been chanted by the choir, in the same finished
manner. as the anthem witlt which the ceremony com-
menced ; the Service was read by the Dean of Windsor,
in that unalfeenel anti impressive manner which is re-
quire;l by this sublime portion of our rubric. At the
end of the first part, the celebrated anthem by Kent,
Hear my Prayer,- was iattadueed, and executed in
a very folished manner. The body of her Majesty was
then lot &wit into the vault prepared for it, and the
solemnity was closest in the manner usual on these oc-
casion::. he the venerable Sir Isaac Herd, who pro-
nounced in a distinct voice, and standing near the grave,
the style and titles of her late Majesty. As the mourners
and attendants on this striking ceremeny began slowly
to separate and to quit the chapel, the notes of the organ
again filled the edifice, and produced at once the ri.diest
and most soothing effect. The numerous co:npany
separated without the least disorder or inconvenience ;
and in a few minutes after the obseptius of her l..tc
Majesty had closed, no vestige remained of the solemn
pageantry which hal just passed before the eyes of the
spectators.
The whole ceremony was conducted in a men= that
ralleets great credit on all concerned in its manage-
ment; no confasioa or difficulty arose in its progress;
nor did the different persons who .formed the procession
appear at all embarrassed, or at a loss to discover the
situations in which they were to be placed.

DRURY LANE THEATRE.

A new tragedy, called Brides, or The Fall of Tar-
quin, teas produced at this theatre on Thursday night
The second title will immediately explain to all who
are is the least conversant with Roman history, that it
is the tortures of the elder 13rutus which form the sub-
ject of this drama. The piece is on a very extended
scale, including nearly all that is memorable in the life
of that illustrious individual: but we are doubtful if the
author has nut excluded a regular dramatic interest. and
converted his scenes into a seek: of historical paintings,
not retaining a sufficient counexion with cacti other.—
The play commences with the assumetlidimism of Junius
Brutus ; contains the whole story of Lucretia, the in-
dination of Brutus at the conduct of .S..,rtus Targuinins,
Ins reusing the Roman people to revolt, and the conse-
quent expulsion of the family of Tarquin ; the eleva-
tom of Brutus to the Consulate, end the whole of the
ntemoreble transaction min ate:), &tidied, wherein, the
feelings of a citizen overcoming those of a halter, he
condemns his son Titres to death. I salependeto Ir of thee
events, which every one knows occupy as histary a long
series of years, an episode is introduced, formed out of
an attachment supposed to exist between time son of
Lirutns and Tarquinitt, a daughter of the reigning ty-
tant—an episod , by the way, which fi>nus occasionally
no sli_dit obstacle to the progress of the story : to this
are to be added, the fortunes of *Pullin, the wife of Tar-
quin, who is left by her husband Regent of Rome during
his absence at the siege of Aram: this flagitious wo-
man, after Rome is fallen under the donduion of /Indus,
is, is perfect consistency with the superstition of the
age, made to terminate her days by being struck with
horror at the sight of her murdered father's ghost.—
These form the materiah;, and they are evidently ample
in quantity, on which the present drama has been eon-
' tructed. Considered as actitry—for the performers
must always partake largely in the success of a new
piece—the great attraction es the Brutus of Mr. Kean,
which certainly will not suffer by a comparison with
the most perfect histrionic efforts within the recollec-
tion of the present generation: we have seldom seen
this great actor more nappy, or inure completely success-
ful: his peculiar powers seem indeed to have been care-
fully studied by the writer of this tragedy. The open-
ing scenes, where he dissembles fatuity, while his real
character, like a volcano, seems every moment on the
point of bursting the shell that covers it, were con-
ceived an;l executed in.the truest and must masterly
style: the scene where Sextus, by a very fortunate
thought, is made to reveal to him the outrage committed
on Lucretia, was not less happy: while listening to the
dreadful tale, his hands moved convulsively, every
muscle of bis frame and of his countenance was agitated
with passion, till at length, unable to resist any longer,
he rushes with clinched hands on the monster before
hint, and seems ready to extinguish him in his wrath.
Mr. Kean's silent acting is, perhaps, the finest the world
ever saw. We are inclined to censure the manner in
which the celebrated judgment scene has been wrought,
and think it not only too long, but that the action is
embarrassed, and even ruined, by the introduction of
Tarcuinia ; but it abounds with instances of the power
just mentioned. We recollect no instance of un actor
who could stand silently on the stave for minutes to-
•gether, and calling up in succession all the shades and
• degrees of passion on his countenance, move his au-
dience to silence and to tears of the truest sympathy.
Mr. Kean does this in the judgment scene of Brutus.—
The rest of the play suffers, we think, by the style of
the perfbrmanee, with the exception of the Tuliia of
Mrs. Glover, and the Turquinia of Mrs. West, both
which were excellent. The author of this tragedy is
said to be Mr. Iloward Payne : it experienced a very
flivoinable reception. The prologue was delivered by
Mr. H. Kemble, and the epilogue by Mrs. Glover. We
subjoin an extract from the latter, in ridicule of f• The
Dandies," which will perhaps amuse our fitir readers:
