A Description of the Herse sot up in the
Abbey of Westminster.
In the midst of the Cross of the Abbey (which is be-
twixt the Quire and the;,Steps going up to the Altar)
was erected a Ducal Herse; and there was also the
Effigies lying in State there, the Great Banner, the
three lesser Banners, Guydon, Standard, and Ten Ban-
nerols, with several Trophies upon the Table at the Feet
of the Effigies.

The length of the Herse was Fourteen Foot, the
bredth Eleven Foot, and the Rail Four Foot and a half
high, the Hautepass, upon which the table stood, raising
the Floor about Six Inches from the Pavement. Th©
Four great Pillars were Eight square, and nearly
T,enty Foot high, and upon their Capitals were placed
the Crests and Supporters of the Duke. These Pillars
had two Courses of Rails near the teps, unto which both
the Vellence and the Tester were fastened; cud unto
this also, by several Costs of Timber, the Cupu/o was
fixed; the point of which finished in a Ducal Coronet,
Two Foot in Diameter, exalted Thirty Foot from the
Pavement. The whole Herse was clothed on the outside
with Black Velv4t, garnished with several Compart-
ments einhosst,d of the Duke's Arms, and Ecnbelli,:hed
with Crests, Coronets, and Scrouls, with his two Mottos,
viz ,

Furtiter, Fiddlier, Feliciter,
And
Cunctando Restituit.

It was double Vakneed and Fringed, the Inner Va-
lence and Tester being of Black Taffeta, Escucheons of
the same, and a Majesty Escucheon within the Tester.
There were placed within the Corners of the Herse, also
Four Stools of Black Velvet for the Supporters of the
Pall, and it was Floored with Black Cloath.
The Rail next to the Herse was Twenty-three Foot
Long, Twenty Foot and a half Broad, and Three Foot
and a half High; the Rail was covered with Black
Cloath, and Floored with Bays, and within it sate the
Chief Mourner on a Chair with Arms of Black Velvet,
and his Two Supporters and Ten Assistants on Stools
of the same; and also to the inside thereof Sockets were
fixed to receive the Staves of the Standard, Guydon,
Three Banners, the Great Banner, and the Ten Ba-
nerols.
The outermost Rail was covered with Black Bays, be-
ing Thirty Foot long, Twenty-seven Foot and a half in
Breadth, and Three Foot high; within which several
Formes were placed, covered also with Bays, and upon
them sate all the Carriers of the Trophies, the Officers of
Arms, the Defunct's Four Officers with White Staves, and
several other persons concerned.
There were Passages also of Four Foot wide, on the
East and West side of the Rails, and the Herse; which
were opened to lett in the respective Persons; and to
give them passage to the Offering.

" The Duke of Marlborough's funeral will be per-
formed, as we are, told, after the following manner :—The
body is to be received into an open hearse, with a velvet
canopy over it, in St. James's-park, part of the garden
wall belonging to his Grace's late dwellinghouse being
first taken down. The funeral procession (which will be
the most pompous and magnificent that hath been seen
for many years) to pass thro' St. James's-park, up
Constitution-hill to Hyde-park-corner, so thro' part of
Piccadilly, down St. James s-street, Pall-mall, Charing-
cross, and King-street, to Westminster abbey. A little
time before the arrival of the body at the park gate the
army in Hyde-park, both horse and foot, will, upon
firing a cannon, be commanded out to march before the
funeral cavalcade of their late most noble and victorious
general. The Tower guns to be fired by the minute at four
or five of the clock, being the time of the said cavalcade;
and after the body is interr'd, and Garter King at Arms
' hath proclaimed the stile of the deceas'd, the trumpets
will sound, and the whole army will make three dis-
charges with their firearms. Four thousand medals are
to be struck, in order to be given away at the solemnity.
The pall is to be supported by eight knights of the
Garter. Seventy-three poor old men (being the number
of his Grace's years) to walk in new mourning, with
badges of his Grace's arms, in the procession. None to
be admitted to see the body lying in state but quality,
persona of distinction, and such as are furnish'd with
tickets. The whole expence, 'tis thought, will amount
to 10,0001., which will be defray'd by his Grace's
family."

THE DREADFUL FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE AT
ROTHERRITHE.—From the survey that has been:made of the
ruins, it seems that a vast deal more of stock has been con-
sumed than was at first anticipated. Upon making inquiries
last evening at Guy's Hospital respecting the condition of
Mr. Hogg, who was so seriously injured by jumping out of
window, it was ascertained that he was going on even better
than was at first expected. From the surgical examination
made, it appears that although the spinal bone is much in-
jured, it is not fractured as was imagined in the first instance,
consequently some hopes may be entertained of his ultimate
recovery. The young female who also leaped out of window,
remains at her friends, Glengall Cottage, Old Kent-road, in
state of great suffering, her face, neck, and hands being most
severely burnt. Two of the firemen who were 1

extinguishing the flames were much burnt—

AN ORIGINAL SKETCII IN A 110MELY

FRAME.
BY ELIZA. COOK.
George Cloa ton was ac good-tempered and well-con-
ducted a young man—taking the worldly avorago of
temper and morals—as one would meet with among a
thousand. He had served a respectable apprenticeship
as a cabinet-maker to an old-established firm, and at the
ago of twenty-five found himself foreman of the work-
shop, and in a condition to " marry and settle in life."
George had been born of the humblest of the middle
classes, left an orphan at fourteen, and had been put oat
in the world by the united means of a few kind-hearted
relatives, who wisely thought that pity and Christian-
like sympathy would be much more valuable if rendered
practical, by giving the lad a little moral looking after,
and a trade—and George well repaid them. He grew
into a sober and industrious man, and managed to save
a hundred pounds during the fcur years he was courting
Emma Serle, a very nice-looking, fine-hearted girl, the
sister of one of his shoptintes, and who seemed to pos-
sess all the qualities most desirable in the wife of an
artizen. They seemed well suited to each other, but
George bad a failing. it was that of being somewhat
overbearing and exacting wnere he could control; and
Ertrna had a spot in he: disc, i: wail in being apt to be-
come silent and sensitively reserved it' any mortifying
incident jlstled egainst h.r spirit; but there seemed
every probahiliiy of their forming a very contented
couple; and when George stood at the altar one fine
July meriting. iu his blue surtout, with Emma beside
him, in her neat grey silk, the elergymae had a private
opinion that they were a remarkably good-looking pair.
A pleasant little dinner at the brides fathers, and a
ramble in the suburbs, filled up the sunshiny' hours, and
that day two months we saw them snugly ensconced in
pretty four-roomed house, in the neighbourhood of
Camden Town. Cleanliness and comfort pervaded the
little domicile, with Emma as the solo presiding spirit,
blending iu her own proper person cook, housemaid, and
paget Everything went on smoothly for some few
months;
her whole attention was given to George, for
slap loved him truly and fondly. Emma was perfectly
happy,e but as the long winter nights came on, and
George sometimes stayed at his Mechanics' Institute, or
had a chat with a friend until ten o'clock, why Emma
began to find it a little dell
form no gossiping intimacy with
and as her husband had en-
treatedh that she would
her neighbours, sewing, scrubbing, and washing became
somewhat monotonous.
George belonged to an amateur musical society, and
when he did come home soon, generally sat down to
practise a quartette part on the violin;unfortunately his
wife had no great love for music, but she
bore his scrap-
ing and squeaking bravely, and even managedl to appear
would delighted with his efforts, though sheoften have
preferred a game at cribbage, or a walk, or a
little read-
ing; however, she never interfered with his
pleasure, and George fiddled away to his heart'slill and
con-
tent. It so happened that Emma's brother
ha
dropped in two or three times when his sister was alone,a
Harry
and found her rather mopy ; and the next time he came,
he brought under his arm a very pretty spaniel. " Here,
Emma," said he, " you are a good deal by yourself, and
I thought this little fellow would serve to amuse you,
and be a sort of companion when George is out; I
know how fond you are of dogs, and I'm sure you'll
soon like this one." Emma was, of course, pleased and
gratified with the gift, and gave her brother an extra
kiss as payment for Tiney. Sure enough the evening
did pass much more cheerfully, though she had only a
stupid, little, long-eared " bow-wow to talk to, and she
sat, with glistening eyes, expecting George, being sure
that he would be as pleased with Tiney as she was.
When the young husband came home, he was received
with the accustomed kind words and comfortable meal,
and due presentation of Tiney; bat George frowned on
the little animal with a look of supreme contempt, and
angrily said, " What do you want with that beast;
haven't you got enough to employ you without a dog?
you had better give it back to Harry to-morrow—l
won't have it here." These few words turned poor
Emma's heart into an icicle; and, if we might reveal the
secret thoughts that flashed across her brain, we should
tell of a mementary impression that George was unkind
and somewhat tyrannical, but she smothered her feelings
and said nothing. Tiney was kept for a day or
two, but when George saw Emma caress it, or
give it food, he betrayed symptoms of ridiculous
and pettish jealousy which rendered her unhappy,
and, at last, Tiney was given back to Harry.
" Well," said her brother, as he took the animal,
"I did not think that George was so selfish; you are
all day long by yourself, and he goes to his club, and
Mechanics' three or four times a week, and does every-
thing he likes, and yet he won't let you have a little dog
to keep you company. I think he's very urkind, Emma,
bat you mustn't mind it."
Emma did mind it though, and had a " good cry" by
herself, not that she cared so much about the relic of
King Charles, as about George's selfishness in denying
her such an innocent indulgence; and it is hardly to be
wondered at, that when he returned home that night,
and sat down to his music, Emma went up stairs, and
commenced needlework in the bedroom. She had no
taste for music, and if George would not tolerate her
little spaniel, why should she plagued with his scraping.
Days went on, and matters did not mend. George saw
he had pained his young wife, but he was too proud to
" give way," and rat her increased in dictatorial supre-
macy, and adopted a sort of cold distance toward her.
Emma was human as well as be, and though expected
by all moral and practical teaching to submit to George's
authority with amiable patience and dovelike docility,
we must confess that she felt his "rule" rather unneces-
sarily exacting; and while the remembered how often he
stayed out of evening to gratify his own wish, and how
he kept rabbits in the garden, and how he spent his
money in " chopping and changing" of fiddles—why,
there was a sense of injustice arose in her bosom, end she
positively began to agree with her brother, that George
was somewhat selfish;—and George was selfish; he pos-
sessed the distinguishing characteristic which marks
many men, a love of sway in bis home, even in the
smallest matters, and he thought his manly prerogative
invaded it his word or will met with the slightest resist-
ance. He was deeply attached to his Wife, but his wife
must have no interest in anything butihimself. She was
to wait for him, and wait on him; she was not to gossip
with Mrs. Simpson next door, though he kept up a con-
siderable talk with his fellow workmen all day long.
She must give up a long-promised visit to Windsor on
her birthday, because George had an invitation to a
" club dinner at Hampstead;" in short, she was to be a
" perfect" woman, and be above all the little weaknesses
which mark our frail nature, whilst he was to be in-
dulged in any fancy that chose to come uppermost.
George certainly was a little tielfisb, and had now made
the first serious false step on his domestic boards.
Emma was less attentive to his comforts, and less par-
ticular in studying his will, than she had hitherto been,
and George resented the neglect smartly. Small quar-
rels arose, and happiness seemed taking flight from the
little dwelling. George stayed out oftener, and Emma
found it more dull than ever; at last, be continually saw
traces of tears on her face when he returned, and his
conscience began to get uneasy. He was good at heart,
and when Harry asked him one day " why he left Emma
so much by herself ?" he grew rather red in the face, and
changed the subject as soon as possible. But the ques-
tion clung to him; he began to think that he had not
been quite as considerate of Emma's pleasures as a hus-
band ought to have been, and, in fact, he was rather
ashamed of Harry's remarks on his sister's very recluse
life. It so happened that George was engaged that night
at a debating society, but he suddenly thought he would
not go, and, turning to his brother-in-law, said,
" Have you got that little spaniel yet that you gave
Emma ?" " Yes," replied Harry, "my wife and
young'un dote on him; but I wish you had let Emma
keep him, for I think she fretted at your unkindness
iu sending it back; you know she is a capital girl,
and makes a good wife, and you might have let her
have a bit of a,dog, just to keep her company when you
were out." " Well." said George, "dome a favour
Harry, and let me give Tiney back to her." Harry was
truly glad, for:he was aware of his brother-in-law's be-
setting sin, and the spaniel was carefully tucked under
George's arm, when he left the shop. " Here
Emma," he, as he entered his neat parlour, " I have brought
back Tiney, and you must take care of him for my sake;
I'm not going to the club, but if you'll put on your
bonnet we'll have a walk, and buy him a collar?'
Poor Emma never looked at the dog, but flung her
arms about George's neck, and kissed im, while great
big tears were rolling down her cheeks, " Oh, George,
"
indeed she exclaimed, " and will you
without being jealous or angry? let me keep him
very unkind of you to be so cdross landid think it was
about trifle, and
I know I have not been so o

ehghtly winced under this rough truth, but certain it is,
that he laid the counsel up and acted upon it.
Some three years pass on since these humble incidents
occurred, and what do wo see? There is big George
dancing little George after the most approved headlong
fashion; and there is Emma holding up Tiney for little
George's express delectation, while the popular nursery
theme of " Catch'er, catch'er, catch'er," is a signal for
Tiney's silken ears to be clutched at most unceremo-
niously by the juvenile gentleman. And now wo see the
quartette on Hampstead-heath, in the summer twilight,
where 'the duodecimo Clayton makes a dozen consecutive
summersets over as many pebbles while in full pursuit of
Tiney's tail.
" Why, dear me, George," says Emma, sudde ly,
" this is the day you always went to the beau.eeast:
" I know it is," replies he; but it always esst

him more good than a pot of ale would. " Thanks to
Tiney and your brother Harry," continues George, " I
am not so selfish in my pleasures as I used to be; I bad
a sort of a notion when I was first married

were to do everything I wanted, and l'innOt
