FUNERAL OF THE DUKE OF
WELL

COURT CIRCULAR.

SPORTING lIV TELLIGENCE.,

WINDSOR, OCT. 19.

NEWBRIDGE GARRISON RACES—MoNDAY.

The preparations for the funeral in the interior of St.
Paul's Cathedral, are alreviy began.
The works tvbieh are just commenced are under the
directioa el the Cemmieeioners of Woods and Forests ;
but are entrusted to Mr. Wm. Cobitt, the eminent
builder.
The accommodation for those who are telmitted into
the interior of the cathedral will be provided by means
of four galleries—one running from the western entrance
along the central aisle, two others in the eastern and
western aisles, and a third in front of the entrance of
the chapel. This last is intended for the exclusive ac-
commodation of a very large choir. The gallery run-
ning along the central aisle will be forty feet in height,
while those on the eastern and western wings will be
upwards of sixty feet ; and the latter will be so arranged
as to form an amphitheatre round the space under-
neath the dome—in the centre of which the remains of
the late Duke will be lowered to their resting place.
The whole of the galleries will be hung with black
cloth, and the number of persons they are intended to
contain is upwards of 10,000.
Toe whole of the cornices above the galleries, and
round all the aisles, will be illuminated by a line of gas
jets, not following the architectural lines of the building,
but running in a straight row, and immediately under
the " whispering gallery' a complete ring of gas jets,
two or three deep, will be formed. This has been
thought the more necessary, as the weather may not on
the day of the funeral be very favourable, and even if it
were, the immense surface presented by the black hang-
ings and fronts of the galleries must materially tend to
absorb any light which may find its way' into the
edifice.

The following had the honour of dining with her Ma-
-s,sty yesterday:—The Duchess of Kent, the Princess of
Hohonlohn-Langenburg, Prince Hertoann of Hohenlohe,
the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, the Marquis
of Exeter, tho Lady in Waiting to the Duchess of Kent,
and Sir George Couper.
Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Hon. Charles
Grey, and Lieutenant-Colonel F. H. Seymour, went to
town this morning by a special train of the Great West-
ern Railway, and returned to the Castle at a quarter be-
fore two o'clock.

The officers of the Newbridge garrison got up an ex-
cellent day's sport yesterday on the Curragh, which was
attended by a large number of military men and sport-
ing charactora. The d.y was beautifully fine, and the
r inning carried on in the following order :

The gallery intended for the choir will not be so high
as the rest, being only thirty feet, bat it will he con•
structed so as to contain a very considerable number ;
it will be surmounted by the organ, the position of which
is to be changed, in order to present its front to the
place of sepulture. In order to carry this out, a portion
of the stonework which supports it will be removed; but
this, of course, will be replaced when the instrument is
returned to its situation, after the obsequies have bee❑
performed.
In order to secure the various monuments within the
cathedral from injury, they will be covered with boxes
of strong planking, and this alone will require, as we
are informed, upwards of 50 loads of boards. The
statues of Nelson and Lord Cornwallis will, however,
be left exposed, being merely encircled with black dra-
pery, which will tend to bring into full relief the white
marble of these exquisite sculptures.
In the centre of these galleries will be erected, so as
to occupy as little room as possible, the machinery for
lowering the coffin, and over the chasm in the pavement
will be a gorgeous catafalque. The nature of the deco-
rations to the canopy has not yet bee❑ ascertained, as no
orders have es yet been issued to the firm of Dowbiggin
and Son in relation to it. _ _ _

SEIZURE OF BAD MEAT.

Mr. Deputy HICKS, in reference to the report made by
Mr. DAW, the Chief Clerk, of the large quantity of meat
which had been seized by the inspectors within tha last
three months, said he considered it to be necessary that
the public should understand that most of the meat in
question was sent by the consignors from the country in
a periectly good condition; but that, in consequence of
the heat and peculiarity of the weather, it had on the
road become unfit to be used us human food. (Hear,
hear.)
Mr. Dew—The case was just as had been stated by
Mr. Deputy Hick,,. It was well known that the sales-
men roost promptly and actively co-operated with the
inspectors in removing from their premises all meat liable
to the objections generally made. Instead of offering
tainted. meat for sale, they applied, the moment they
found they had any upon the turn, for a certificate from
the inspector, by moans of which they became exone-
rated from all responsibility to the consignor. (Hear,
hear.)

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S FUNERAL.
Mr. DAW requested the attention of the court to the
fact that a great number of the inhabitants of the line of
road from St. Paul's to Temple-bar would soon com-
mence preparations for the accommodation of spectators
of the funeral procession, and said it would be necessary
for the prevention of a groat deal of trouble and incon-
venience, to send a general notice to the effect that no
balcony or other projecting seat should be erected in any
building.
Mr. GEORGE WALTER said it would be exceedingly
useful to cause the issue of such notice to take place as
soon as possible, inasmuch as a great number of the
inhabitants of the ward he represented (Farringdon-
without) appeared to entertain the expectation that they
would be allowed upon the occasion a privilege which
would have the effect of causing great confusion and
embarrassment. (Hear.)
It was then ordered that such notices should be forth-
with printed and extensively circulated amongst the
inhabitants in the line of procession within the City.
The CLERK informed the Court that he had received
a communication from the City Lands Committee, sug-
gesting the propriety of filling up a portion of White.
friars Dock, about the offensiveness of which there had
been so many complaints in the City, particularly during
the period at which the cholera raged.

The width of the central aisle is upwards of 40 feet,
and of this space 10 feet on each side will be occupied
by the bases of the galleries, leaving a width of 20 feet
for the cortege to advance through. The galleries them-
selves will extend back beyond the square columns,
nearly to the bide windows, and this of course would be
a great obstruction to the light, and will render it ne-
cessary, in addition to the rows of jets overhead, to
establish rows of burners along the fronts and round the
columns. The long pendant lamps at present used in
the edifice, will be removed pro tern.
The structure of the galleries themselves will be very
simple, ell endeavours at embellishment being dispensed
with. They will be supported by strong beams, mor-
ticed to heavy timbers running along the floor, and sup-
ported by the columns and walls of the cathedral.
It is estimated that upwards of 700 waggon loads of
timber will be required to complete these works, which
will occupy a month in their execution.
It is not intended (as we are informed) to admit the
public to the whispering gallery, nor to the two small
galleries over the terminations of the central aisle, us it
would be impossible to see from such an elevation,
especially when the rows of gas jets are lighted.
A temporary pulpit will be erected near the place of
interment ; bat the precise locality has not yet been de-
termined on. There will be a gallery, separated by bar-
riers from the rest, for those members of the Upper and
Lower Houses who will attend the funeral.

'I:OI3OSED REVIVAL OF CONVOCATION'

the City of London.
Gentlemen,—I beg leave to lay before your Honour-
able Court the several tables which I have pre-
pared
to illustrate the mortality of the City of London
during the past year. They refer to 52 weeks, dating
b ,e0r6425 deaths 18502 f.

Se
ttheem 3tbe period according to their localities and seasons; show-
ing them as they occurred, male and female, during each
quarter of the year in the several districts and sub-dis-
tricts of the city. For the foot of each column I have
from
Septemberrs t table
calculated the year's deaths rate per thousand of the
living in the district or sub-district referred to, and at
the head of the columns, for facility of reference, I have
introduced an analysis of the population, founded on
the Registrar-General's recent census. In the second
table all the deaths of the last four years are stated in
a form which will enable you to compare ono year with
another, and ono sub•district with another, in respect
of their several contributions to the total mortality of
the period. In the third table 12,540 deaths of the last
four years are classified according to the ages at which
they befell. In the remaining number (17) the particu-
lars of ago and residence could not be correctly ascer-
tained. This table is arranged in a manner to display
its results, first for each year separately, and next
for each union separately, in order that you mayOb-
servo what local or annual differences have obtained
as to the ages of chief mortality. The fourth table also
relates to the last 4 years. It restricts itself to those
various forms of acute disease—epidemic, endemic,
and infectious, which occasion most of all the predomi
nant mortality of particular districts or seasons, and
which are susceptible in the highest degree of being mi-
tigated or removed under an efficient sanitary system.
In their general import these documents agree very
nearly with last year's record; though showing, unfor-
tunately, a somewhat higher death rate, and especially a
larger proportion of fever. On former occasions I have
examined with great minuteness all such facts as these
tables set forth, and have offered you the best sugges-
tions in my power for the mitigation of preventable dis-
ease. The sanitary condition of the City is now substan-
tially the same as at the date of my last report, and any
comment which I might make on the present tables
could be little else than a repetition of arguments already
submitted to your notice. Therefore, as other topics of
importance to the health of the City press for more im-
mediate consideration, I refrain from occupying your
time by any further remark on the materials which I
subjoin.—l have the honour, Gentlemen, to remain your
obedient servant,

reasons exist why the convocation of the clergy should

the Church to meet the spiritual wants of the age, and of
adapting herself, her constitution end canons, to the pre-

promised that when any difference should arise about the
external policy, the injunctions, cations, and other con-

convocation, shall order and settle them with the con-
sent of the Crown. And, whereas, the Imperial Legis-
lature now consists of persons of various denominations,
and the advisers of the Crown are not now necessarily
Churchmen, the Church can no longer implicitly entrust
her sacred interests to their irresponsible control, with-
out compromising her fidelity to her Divine Head.

TIIE NEW STEAM-STAMI.S.BAGGS'S PATENT.--A
trial was made, some days since, in the presence of the direc-
tors of some of the principal mining companies, to test the
power of Mr. Baggs's invention in crushing gold quartz and
metallic ores. Half a ton of coarse metal (regulus), in lumps
weighing about i cwt. and i cwt. each, were subjected to the
action of a 4-horse stamp, and the effect was carefully timed.
Although the steam used on the occasion was very little,
being only equal to the power of about 1/ horse, yet the
whole quantity was crushed within eight minutes, two-thirds
of the regulus being.reduced to fine powder. The result did
not merely give great satisfaction to those who witnessed it,
but in point of power and Velocity of reduction the engine
excited no small degree of surprise. It was found, in the
course of further trials, that the hardest and most refractory
ores and minerals were utterly incapable of withstanding
the
force of the blows.—Mining Journal of Saturday. [We ob-
serve that one of these steam-stamps is now announced to be
in course of manufacture for public exhibition ins the metro-
polis—a ,circumstance of interest to all those engged in the
gold enterprizes ofAustralia.—Ed. Sun.]
THE MILITIA.—Last night s Gazette contains an
order in council fixing the number of militia men to serve for
the North Riding of York at 976, and for the West Riding
and City of York at 6,246.
ROYAL WESTMINSTER REGIMENT OF MIDDLESEX
MILITIA. Yesterday afternoon orders ere issued to the
whole of the Royal Westminster Regiment of Middlesex
Militia, that they are appointed to be trained and exercised
(pursuant to the several acts of Parliament made in that be-
half) for twenty-one days together for field exercise, to com-
mence on Tuesday, the 26th inst., and all men belonging to
the said regiment of militia are hereby required to assemble
at Hammersmith, in the said county, at twelve precisely on
the said day; and every man not labouring under any in-
firmity, incapacitating him, who shall not appear at the time
and place aforesaid, will incur the penalty of twenty pounds,
or be imprisoned for Mx months. Ihe whole of the staff-
officers will be on the ground, and the men inspected by the
commander and officers of the division. Lord liardinge is
expected to visit the battalion before the men leave the
ground.
COLLISION IN THE BRITISH CHANNEL.—A collision
occurred in the British Channel on Monday morning, which
resulted in the sinking of a fine screw steam-ship of 800 tons
burden (the Metropolitan, Captain M,Lean), on her pas-
sage from London to Glasgow, in which trade she was en-
gaged. About three o'clock on the above morning she was
running down Channel, the weather being thick and foggy,
when she observed a light hoisted by some vessel close to
her, beating up Channel with contrary winds. This proved
to be a Prussian brig, the Zollvereln, of 260 tons, Captain
Bleacker, bound from Bristol to Dantzic; they came in most
violent collision, the brig striking the steamer amidships on
the starboard side, which she stove in so effectually that in
less than a quarter of an hour the engine fires were put out,
and the vessel reduced to a sinking state.
SEWERAGE MANURF.--The prospectus of the City
of London Sewage Manure Company, with a capital of

the project state that the patent has been in successful opera-
tion for more than two years. The sewage is deodorised, and
the solid portions converted into a dry and compact manure
which is portable in sacks, and perfectly inodorous.
laisn LAWS.—It is understood that the commis-
sion for the translation and publication of the ancient Irish
Brehon laws, as recommended by Lord Clarendon at the close
of his government, has actually been issued. The work is to

From the tables, which go into very minute details,
we extract the following particulars :
No. 1, which contains an analysis of the year's mor-
tality as to the four quarters of the year, and states the
population of the City to be 129,682; it appears that
the deaths in four quarterly periods, terminating as
follows, were : 1. 1851, Dec. 27, 773 deaths. 2. 1852,
Marehi27, 773 deaths. 2, June 25, 774 deaths. 4. Sept

25, 717 deaths.
The second table contains an enumeration of deaths
during the last four years, as distributed in sub-districts
and districts or unions. From the table it appears that
the total mortality, of the City has been : In 1848-9,
3,763 deaths ; in 1849.50, 2,752 deaths ; in 1850-1,1
2,978 deaths ; in 1851.2, 3.064 deaths. Total of four'
years, 12,557 deaths.
During the year 1848-9, there were 15 cases of death,
in the registration of which the residence was imper-
fectly recorded. These cases, therefore, though included
in the total (3,763) are excluded from the sub-district
enumeration.
The third table contains deaths of the last four years
stated separately and conjointly, classified according to
ages, and distributed in unions. To this table is ap-
pended the following note. During the year 1648-9
there were 15 cases, and during the year 1850-1 two
cases, in respect of which the particulars of age or reel-
donee could mot be ascertained with sufficient accuracy
for the purposes of this table. The addition of them to
the total amounts in the table would give the correct
number of deaths for those years, viz., 3,763 and 2,978
respectively, and 9,493 for the general total. I have
likewise been enabled to introduce some corrections in
my account of the mortality during the first year. At
that time my means for accurate registration of deaths
were necessarily imperfect, and my first death list con-
tained 36 cases (chiefly of certain patiehts in St. Bartho-
lomew's Hospital) which ought not to have been rec-
koned to the mortality of the City. In carefully revising
my tables of that date I have excluded these cases, and
' have thereby reduced the total number of deaths in the
year in question to 3,763. In the report referred to it
was estimated at 3,799.
The fourth table contains the comparative fatality
during the last four years of certain acute diseases,
chiefly epidemic infections and endemic. It appears
from this table that of typhus fever there died in 1849,
immediately before the dreadful visitation of the cholera,
166 individuals ; and that in the present year, which
many medical men are of opinion will immediately
precede another cholera season, there have been swept
away 165, being within one of the number which
heralded the approach of the terrific malady.

which medical men concur in placing under the head of
murder, are attributed 96 deaths within the last year.
In 1849, the smell-pox killed 17 ; in 1850, 33 ; in 1851,
41 ; end in 1852, 96.
The report, together with its valuable tables, was

Common Council.
