WELLINGTON.

COURT CIRCULAR.

SPORTING IN7'.ELLIG.ENCE.;

WINDSOR, OCT. 19.

The pr.eparations for the funeral in the interior of St.
Paul's Cathedral, are already began.
The works which are just commenced are under the
direction of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests ;
but are entrusted to Mr. Wm. Cubitt, the eminent
builder.
The accommodation for those who aro admitted into
the interior of the cathedral will he provided by means
of four galleries—one running from the western entrance
along the central aisle, two others in the easter❑ 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-
❑eath 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.

The following had the honour of dining with her Ma-
jesty yesterday :—The Duchess of litnt, the Princess of
Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Prince Hermann of Hohenlohe,
the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, the Marquis
of Exeter, the 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.

NEWBRIDGE GARRISON RACES—MONDAY.
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 characters. The day was beautifully fine, and the
running carried on in the following order :

The Marquis of Exeter left the Castle this forenoon for
London.

The Hon. Matilda Paget has succeeded the Hon. Mary
Seymour as Maid of Honour in Waiting to the Queen.

General James Campbell had an interview with Sir
John Pakington yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Mr.
D. Daly had also a❑ interview with the Right Hon. Ba-
ronet yesterday.
The Marquis of Winchester had an interview with
Mr. Secretary Walpole yesterday, at the Home-cflice.
Mr. James Lloyd had an interview with Lord John
Manners yesterday, at his cfficial residence, relative to
Albert-park.
Dispatches were sent off last evening from the Colo-
nial-office, for the Governors of Malta and the Mauritius;
and also for the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian
Islands.

The whole of the cornices above the galleries, and
round all the aisles, will be illuminated by a lino 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
(hought 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.

Venison made all the running in both heats, and won
as he pleased.

The gallery intended for the choir will not be so high
as the re3t, being only thirty feet, but it will be con-
structed so as to contai❑ 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 been
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 bo erected, so as
to occupy as little room as possible, the machinery for
lowering the coffin, and over the chasm in the pavement
will bo a gorgeous catafalque. The nature of the deco-
rations to the canopy has not yet been ascertained, as no
orders have as 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 the 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 perfectly good condition; but that, in consequence of
the heat and peculiarity of the weather, it had on the
road become unfit to be used as human food. (Hear,
hear.)
Mr. DAW—The case was just as had been stated by
Mr. Deputy Hicks. It was well known that the sales-
men most 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 means of which they became exone-
rated from all responsibility to the consignor. (Hear,
hear.)

" Tria Juncta in tine" Stakes of 3 sous. each, with a
gold mounted whip and 10 soya. added, for chargers
of the 2d and sth Dragoon Guards and the Newbridge

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S FUNERAL.
Mr. Dew 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 great 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 wculd 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
inhabit-,nts 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-
of filling up a portion of White-
complaints in the City, particularly during

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 side 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 rcund the
columns. The long pendant lamps at present used in
the edifice, will be removed pro tem.
The structure of the galleries themselves will be very
simple, all 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, as 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.

" Gentlemen,—I beg le-ave 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
from September 28, 1851, to September 25, 1852.
In
the first table I have distributed the 3,064 deaths of
the 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-
triots of the city. For the foot of each column I have
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 one year with
another, and one 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 egos at which
they befell. In the remaining number (17) the particu-
lars of age and residence could not be correctly weer-
Wined. 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 may ob-
serve 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 ot 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,

The Castle Stakes of 5 sovs. each, and 25 added, for
twe-year-olds and upwards. Wood•end, about three-

" JOHN SINON."
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,
Marchl27, 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,
;
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.

NORTHALLERTON MEETING, 1852.

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 1848-9
there were 15 cases, and during the year 1850.1 two
cases, in respect of which the particulars of age or resi.
deuce could slot 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 Clio first year. At
that time my means for acourate registration of deaths
were necessarily imperfect, and my first death list con-
which ought not to have been tloa imn
rec-
koned to the mortality of the City. In carefully revising
eewd
'356
Hcaossepsit(aclh)iefly of certain patients in St. Bartho-
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.
From the same table it appears that to the smallpox,
which medical men concur in placing under the head of
murder, are attributed 96 deaths within the last year.
In 1849, the small-pox killed 17 ; in 1850, 33 ; in 1851,
41 ; and in 1852, 96.
The report, together with its valuable tables, was
ordered to be printed, and a copy Was ordered to be
sent to every member of the court, and of the Cold of
Common Council.

AUSTRALIAN EMlGRATlON.—Emigration from the
United States to Australia does not appear to have made so
much progress as was anticipated. From the beginning of
June to the end of September only fourteen vessels had left
with about 1,800 passengers, a large number of whom were
from Canada.
SUDDEN DEATH OF A POLICEMAN.—OR Sunday
evening last, as a policeman narowl George Best, who has
been many years in the force, add was attached to the B
division, happened to be going over Eccleston-bridge, Bel-
grave-road, Pimlico, for duty at the College-road station, he
suddenly fell down in an apopletic fit, and appeared quite
lifeless. lie was shortly taken up and removed to his lodg-
ings, when Mr. Pearse, of Regent-street, Westminster, was
immediately sent for; but that gentleman not happening to
be at home at the moment, other medical assistance was
speedily procured, and the usual remedies were applied, but
the deceased only survived until the following day. De-
ceased appeared to be iu excellent health up to the time of
hie f&liDg LI the at.
