• 'W'eduesday, zit -twelve o'clock, fhe 'remains of the
unfortunate MiSS.QHOLMODELEY were, interred hi
Leatherbead Church, under the South Aisle, close
to the spot where Lady cATHERNE THotripsON, wife
of Sir J. TuompsON,. some years since. Lord Mayor,
of London, is buried. • The body was, ,an Monday
evening, removed- fronythe Swan Inn to an under-
_ taker's
,near the Church-yard,' aqd was followed to
the grave by her brother; G. CHOLMONDELEY, Esq.
one of the coMmissioners of Excise, the Hon. Atl:.
GUSTUS PEIITS, WM. LOCKE, sq. S. GRAY, Esq.
and several .Other Gentlemen. All present at the
melanCholy scene Were deeply affeeled. The inha-
bitants of Leatherhead in general appeared to lament
that so dreadful an event, should have taken place. in
Consequence of the humane intention that was the
primary cause of it, (Her Royal Highness the Prin-
cess.of WALES'S desire,. of adding her assistance to
the relief of the poor of the neighbourhood) and
the poor in particular felt sorrow, that so distressing-
an accident should befall one \Silo was coming to be
their benefactress. During the reading of the burial
service, Mr. CHOLMONI3ELEY was exceedingly agr-
tated and distressed, and on Obeing.encled, retired
,into the Vestry-room with the. Rev. Mr. DALAWAY;
the .Vicar, where he remained till the Church was
cleared, and then returned to the grave, to take a
last view of the coffin of his sister, to bid farewell
for ever to her remaitus, and to give vent to that
grief he with difficulty suppressed while surrounded
by the spe&ators who were assembled at the melan-
choly spe&acle. spot where this arniaLlt
Lady met her sudden death is. still visited by crowds
Many persons have
,stopped in their. Carriages;- and
sent their Servants to procure. a piece of the tree as
a memento. Should
,this praelice continue much
longer, there will be no-occasion to cut down thii
dangerous tree.

The Telegr6ph which was burnt down at Hald6n
Hill, near Exeter, has been replaced, by which the

• With the last, Fleet from the West Indies arrived
the Shift Phcenii, Capt. JOHN BEARD,
,frbm Tobago.
On coming into the-nicinth of the Thames, she was
examined by the Conimander of o:7e ,of the Custom-
house Cutters that are stationed. in Leigh' Roads, to
ascertain the state of the health of the crews of all
Vessels entering the Porrof tondqn ; when, in an-
swer to the quarantine questions, it appeared thak
the crew were all *ell, and that no person liad died
on board during-the voyage. On the Vessel's reach-
ing Gravesend, however, the OfficerS on the Inipress
Service borded herpand, on searching, discovered a
(lead body between two of the sugar casks., This.
circumstance was represented to the Commissioncrs•
of the Customs, who immediately ordered the pro-
per Officers to inquire into.tifebusiass. TheyhaVe
stated as the result of their investigation; founded on
the affidavits of the Captain and.crew, that the dead
man was one of the crew, who being. impressed at
Tobago a few days before the Phoenix sailed, sud-
denly escaped from_ the gang; and although the
most diligent search was' instantly made for him,
coul',l not be discovered. It was at that time skip=
posed that he had leaped oVerbmird, and had been
drowned ; but it is now evident that the'poor
low secreted' himself among the casks in the hold,
and that when the ship put to 'sea, 'the casks rolled
and killed him.- The Phcrnir is ,now in the West
India Docks. The body does, not, seem to be in it,
putrid state, but quite stiff, and cannot be,extricat-
ed until the cargo is discharged, when the Coroner's
Inquest will sit upon it. ,
