htv`.llll DIME'S FUNERAL.—It appears that not only
tit of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's demanded 5,0003
the 10,000 tickets at the approaching funeral of te
10,4, ';et but also that the funeral cannot be as grand as
_ the
.e
~.I'lities could wish, because everything (including all "I
black cloth, and every other fitting) which once enters
Ifanl's is claimed by these greedy ones.

iderable body of recruits was present. The recruits

telt DECIMAL CURRENCY.—There is no necessity for
4 png rid of our present silver coinage, in order to establish
ecirnal system, as it would only be requisite to enact that
selnteeforth 1,000 farthings should go to the pound; to coin
Ile' ten-farthing" piece, either of copper, silver, or a mixture
both; and to call in the fourpenny and threepenny pieces
to latter of which are a nuisance, for their close resem-
trete es

:-1 pound, equal 1,000 farthings (cureent);
h pound, crown, equal 250 farthings' 1-10th pound,
