The funeral procession left the church at 11 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 tie 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 Acadeiny 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, but 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-superintenden
Thomas Somerville, and Mr. John Young master, ha:
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' Howe 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,
under an order in Council, dated November the 10th,

Wesley (Assistant Adjutant-General), to be Lieutenant-
Colonel ; First Lieutenant James Ainslie Stewart, Ad-
jutant of the Woolwich Division, to be Captain ; First

mouth Division, to be Captain ; Second Lieutenant
Thomas George Shelton Meheux, of the Woolwich Di-
vision, to be First Lieutenant ; Second Lieutenant

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, at the capture 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-
lowing 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 ;
Phcenix, 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 Phcenix, 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.

SPORTMG 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 Grand
Annual Steeple Chase, will be decided. The Edleston
Stakes, a free handicap steeple chase of 5 sovs. each,
with 30 added, winners extra, the winner to be sold by.
auction, &c. (three miles), has obtained eleven accept-
ances, several of which have already been supported with
great spirit. The Flying Buck seems to be the centre of
attraction, and Yorkshireman and Frank his nearest at-
tendants in the betting. Gulnaie, the top weight at
lOst 121 b., can have no chance with Frank at 81b. less.
Crabbs, at 10st. 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 at 9st.
101 b. The Grey Gelding, by Greatheart, although
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 have
to give place to Mr. Smith's Harmony, who figures
at the feather of Bst. 61b. The Flying Buck
I know comparatively little about, but his proprie-
tor and immediate friends assert that he is almost certain
to carry off the stake. It is my opinion that FRANK is
about the best of the lot, and, if meant, is quite capable
of winning. The second place I shall give to Flying
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 with
such a light weight as he will have to carry, he must be,
barring accidents, about the mark. Why the handicap-
per should put him at the base of the scale of weight I
know not, as he is a very fair second-class hunter.
The Crewe Grand Annual Steeplechase, a free handi-
cap of 10 cove. each, with 60 added, winners extra, three
miles. This steeplechase has obtained an accept-
ance of sixteen, of whom eight or more, at the least,
will go to the post. When this stake was first in-
troduced into the betting last week, Magpie's son,
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-Fader. The top weight,
Mr. Lyrrell's Peter, last carried this stake off with lOst.
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's Abd-el-Kader, 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 penchant for Janus. Clatterbox, also,
is unattractive to me. The same remark will apply to
the Unknown, the Emperor, Benedict, and Expert. 1
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.
