THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1852.

object of unceasing study and affection of that profound
philosopher and eloquent writer, offers up a solemn
tribute of prayers and tears."

The funeral procession left the church at II a.m.
It was headed by half a battalion of National
Guards ; the coffin was borne by forty National
Guards, who had volunteered to perform this office.
The Municipal Council and the staff of the Na-
tional Guard followed. The pall was held by the
'Mayor, the Commander-in-Chief of the National
Guards, the President of the Chamber of Deputies,
and M. Gorresio of the Academy of Sciences. Depu-
tations of the Senate, the Chamber of Deputies, the
University, the Academy of Sciences, the working
classes, the Italian refugees, and National Guard,
brought up the rear. The insignia of the priestly
office and of the degree of doctor were laid on the
coffin. The streets and windows were crowded
with spectators, quantities of flowers were showered
all along upon the coffin, and costly bouquets were
presented by the students and other bodies. Eighty
ecclesiastics awaited the body at the churchyard,
where, after due service performed in the chapel,
it was entombed in the vault destined to it. Up-
wards of 20,000 persons were present in the church-
yard, b-at not the slightest disorder occurred.

on Wednesday next. The crew will have ample oppor-
tunities for again entering in other war-steamers, as four
of the largest steam-frigates in the Royal Navy have been
commissioned at the eastern ports during the present

week

The Firebrand paddle-wheel steam-frigate, of 410
horse power, Captain Edward Codd, arrived at Wool-
wich to-day, from the Mediterranean station, and is ex-
pected to be paid off at this port on Saturday next.
She went down the river again to try her engines, that
the chief engineer at the factory here might be able to
report on their present condition.
The St. Vincent convict-ship, Surgeon-superintendent
Thomas Somerville, and Mr. John Young master, has
arrived at moorings opposite the Royal Arsenal to em-
bark convicts.

The Isabel discovery-ship, Commander Inglefield, came
up the river to Woolwich Dockyard yesterday ; and Com-
mander Inglefield accompanied the crew to-day to the
Sailors' Home in London, and paid them off there—a
most admirable plan, as several of the men were anxious
to obtain leave, and might have been induced to spend
all their earnings before going home.

ROYAL MARlNES.—Lieutenant-Colonels Samuel Garm-
ston and Richard Lyde Hornbrook, of the Portsmouth
Division, have been placed on the retired full pay list,

vice Pickard, promoted.

DEATH OF THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IN
THE EAST INDIES.

The telegraphic overland dispatch from India gives
us the sad intelligence of the death of Rear-Admiral of
the Red Charles John Austen, C. 8., the Commander-in-
Chief of the East India station, which took place on the
Bth of October in the expedition to Prome. The gallant
and distinguished officer was born in 1779, and was the
younger brother of Admiral Sir F. Austen, K.C.B.
He entered the service in 1791. He was in the
Unicorn, 38, cet tho otpture of the Dutch brig Comet,
18, and the French frigate La Tribune, 44. He was in
several affairs with gun-boats and privateers, and dis-
tinguished himself in boarding after her capture, the
Scipio, 18 guns, in a boat with four men during a vio-
lent gale, and retained possession of her until the fol-
lowinc, day. He was promoted to a commander from
first lieutenant of the Endymion for his conduct at the
capture of three men of .war and two privateers. He
was posted after five years' hard work. As a captain he
acquired great experience during the war, in command
of the Swiftsure, 72 ; Cleopatra, 32 ; Namur, 74 ;
Phoenix, 36, when he had charge of a squadron in
pursuit of Neapolitans and French, and obtained the
unqualified approbation of Lord Exmouth. He was
wrecked in the Phoenix, but he was fully acquitted of
all blame. He subsequently commanded the Aurora,
46, as second in command in the West Indies ; in the
Winchester, 52, and as flag captain in the Bellerophon,
78, at St. Jean d'Acre. He was promoted to his flag
rank in 1846, and was appointed Commander-in-Chief in
the East Indies in January, 1850.
By the death of Rear Admiral Austen the following
promotions and removals take place :
Captain Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., M.P. (1822),
becomes rear admiral of the blue ; Sir Edward Lyons,
K.C.H., G.C.8., moving to the white squadron; and
Peter John Douglas to the red squadron.
Sir George R. Brooke Pechell, Bart. (26th December,
1822), is now the senior captain on the list. Captains
George Berkeley Maxwell (1830) succeeds to the senior
half-pa 3 list, and Lewis T. Jones (captain of the Sampson)
to the second senior list.

The promotion of Sir Thomas Herbert gives another
good service pension to the patronage of the Duke of
Northumberland ; and Sir Thomas having become a
rear admiral, a new patent will be necessary, and the
Board of Admiralty will now include three flag officers.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCLV.

The Crewe Steeplechases, established a few years
back, have already gained strength, and may be consi-
dered a regular steeple chase fixture. To-morrow the
usual Edleston and Hatherton Stakes, and Crewe Grant
Annual Steeple Chase, will be decided. The Edlestca
Stakes, a free handicap steeple chase of 5 sovs. each,
with 30 added, winners extra, the winner to be sold :ey
auction, &c. (three miles), has obtained eleven acco-
- several of which have already been supported vith
great spirit. The Flying Buck seems to be the cente of
attraction, and Yorkshireman and Frank his nearesz, at-
tendants in the betting. Gulnare, the top weight at
lOst 121 b., can have no chance with Frank at 81b. bss.
Crabbs, at lOst. is undoubtedly well in ; but this being
his first public appearance in the character of a steeple
chaser, it is very possible that he may be not quite up
to the work. Lamplugh's Yorkshireman disposed of
Quickstep and Falcon, who are each weighted a; 9st.
101 b. The Grey Gelding, by Greatheart, "altiough
handicapped very lightly, is not the horse I should
select for a winner. I entertain no better opinion
of Jenny Jones or Galileo ; in fact I think that
the whole of the light weight division will lave
to give place to Mr. Smith's Harmony, who figires
at the feather of Bst. 61b. The Flying Bick
I know comparatively little about, but his ,proprie-
tor and immediate friends assert that he is almost ceriaila
to carry off the stake. It is my opinion that FRANI is
about the best of the lot, and, if meant, is quite capihle
of winning. The second place I shall give to Fl3ing
Buck or Harmony, and think the last-named well worth
backing for a win, at his outside price for the off chance,
as he is in capital trim at the present time, and vith
such a light weight as he will have to carry, he mustbe,
barring accidents, about the mark. Why the handicap-
per should put him at the base of the scale of weigli I
know not, as he is a very fair second-class hunter.
The Crewe Grand Annual Steeplechase, a free handi-
cap of 10 sovs. each, with 60 added, winners extra, tlree
miles. This steeplechase has obtained an accept-
ance of sixteen, of whom eight or more, at the lost,
will go to the post. When this stake was first in-
troduced into the betting last week, Magpie's ion,
Clatterbox, was instantly made the favourite, a posi-
tion, however, which he failed to maintain. The
animals principally inquired after this morning are the
Emperor, Janus, and Abd-el-Kader. The top weight,
Mr. Lyrrell's Peter, last carried this stake off with 10st.
121 b. up • the task he has now got to do, if he can, is to
carry 71b. more, and win—of his doing of this, however,
I hold considerable doubts. Osborne Abd-el-Kacier, at
10st. 81b., ought to win easily, and I entertain 'but, little
doubt that he will. Peter Simple, at 41b. less than the
preceding, I think has his chance disposed of by the
Algerian prisoner. Johnnie Barrie has many friends,
especially at Manchester, but I am not among the
number. Young Lottery, if he runs, will not impro-
bably get a very forward position ; but I consider in
him we shall not see the winner. Little Charley and
the Screw are of course for this race ; and I cannot say
that I have any peachaat for Janus. Clatterbox, also,
is unattractive to me. The same remark will apply to
the Unknown, the Emperor, Benedict, and Expert.
Royal Blue and Widow Machree I expect will run un-
commonly well, and, with Janus and Young Lottery,
will finish close behind the winner, who, I opine, will be
ABD-EL-KADER.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.— A
inquiry under a writ
de lunatico inquirendo was proceeded with on Saturday,
at the Gray's Inn Coffee-house, before Mr. Commissioner
Winslow, relative to the mental condition of William
Crowder Trotter, aged 19, a Young gentleman, lately
residing with his friends in Hatton- garden and entitled
on attaining his majority to funded and freehold property,
of the value of upwards of 20,000/. From his earliest
childhood, the subject of this inquiry had exhibited
symptoms of a weak intellect, and when at the age
of eleven years displayed much violence and obstinacy of
temper, his conduct increasing in violence from that pe-
riod to 1847, during which he was in the constant habit
of ill-treating his grandmother, particularly kicking her
legs, which were continually in
a state of discoloration
from the bruises thereby occasioned, This he said he
could not help ; but he did not wish to do so, as he was
very fond of her. At subsequent periods he had offered
to fight young females. In 1849, he had with great vio-
lence turned his grandmother into the street, and she
was afraid to re-enter. This was at eleven o'clock at
night. In February, 1850, he again attacked his grand-
mother, knocking out no less than six of her teeth ;
shortly after which it was deemed necessary to place him
under restraint with Mr. Strange. He imagined that
everybody was the devil, and were Poisoning his food.
He expressed his fear that he had killed his grandmother,
and said the devil had told him to do it. His insanity
was occasioned by abscesses which formed on the dura
mater between the skull-cap and the brain. The jury
returned a verdict, dating the unsoundness of mind from
the Ist of January 1847.
THE GALES IN THE CHANNEL. PORTSMOUTH, SUN-
DAY.—The heavy weather in the channel is causing daily
arrivals at this port of vessels which have met with
various degrees of damage- Yesterday, the Dutch
schooner Seabloem, Captain Zuglen, from Liverpool to
Amsterdam, was towed into harbour with loss of fore
and maintopmasts, sails, bulwarks, &c., and one man,
named Dirk Lall, killed in clearing the
wreck. The
same day the Prussian ship Selma, Captain Cuske, from
Gloucester to Dantzig, put in with loss
of sails, bul-
warks, &c., having been thrown on her beam-ends off
the Start on the 26th. The Amity,
was SYMes from Hart-
lepool, has got on shore at the Wool
night steners, and sunk ;
whilst the gale on Thursday so strong as to
force a heavy collier to the east of Ryde over the pier,
carrying away some 50 feet of it. The gale has con-
tinued throughout this day (Sunday), accompanied with
tremendous showers of rain.
THE LATE EARTHQUAKE.—The Evening Mail has
published the following extract of a private letter from
Virginia (U.S.) of Nov. 6, from which it appears that
an earthquake was felt in that place nearly about the
same time that the recent shock took place in England
and Ireland. The writer of the letter says :—" Just as
I closed this letter, the house was so shaken by an earth-
quake that we have all gone out of doors. It is our
first experience of such a phenomenon, and it is an
awful feeling—the ground rolling under our feet."
ACTION FOR DEFAMATION AGAINST MRS. IL B. STOWE.
—Dr. Jeel Parker, of New York, has commenced an
action against the authoress of "Uncle Tom's Cabin,"
for defamation, damages laid at 20,000 dols. It is
stated that Dr. Jeel Parker, on hearing the mention
Mrs. Stowe had made of his name as the author of an
atrocious sentiment, wrote to her, offering proof that she
had been misinformed, and that he was not the author
of that sentiment. Mrs. Stowe made no reply until a
third letter elicited from her the assertion that she had
documentary evidence of the truth of her statement.
Hereupon Dr. Parker commenced his action.
