FUNERAL OF THE REV. DR. BOGUE.

On Tuesday last, the mortal remains of the venerable and
much lamented Dr. BoGuE, were removed from Brighton to
Gosport, attended by a Deputation from the Directors of the
London Missionary Society, and many other friends, when the
most gratifying marks of respect for the memory of the deceased
were publicly manifested by the inhabitants of Brighton, and
of the several towns through which the mournful procession
passed. At Fareham, the Deacons anti Trustees of the Chapel
in which the deceased officiated, joined the procession, in mourn-
ing coaches, and several private carriages followed in their
train ; and at Norton, about a mile from Gosport, the body of
their deceased Minister, was received by the Church and Con-
gregation over which he had presided, as well as by the Students
of the Seminary under his care ; by whom it was conducted with
great solemnity, to the Vestry-room adjoining the Independent
Chapel, in High-street, Gosport; where it was deposited for the
night. -On the following morning, the remains of Dr. Bogue,
were conveyed into the Chapel, of which he had been Minister
nearly half a century, when a most affecting and beautiful fu-
neral oration, was delivered by the Rev. John Griffin, of Port-
sea, amidst the tears and lamentations of a crowded auditory._
At twelve o'clock the Funeral Procession moved towards Alver-

un d , at Alverstoke, those
who were in carriages alighted, and the whole formed a foot
procession to the Church, presenting to the view a long extend-
ed line of mourners, and surrounded by an immense multi-
tude of persons, most of wham were habited in mourning, form-
ing an assemblage which exceeded in numbers any that had
ever been witnessed in that parish by the oldest inhabitant.—
The funeral service was most impressively read by the Rev.
Henry Aubrey Peck, and the whole procession returned in the
same order that it came. In the, evening a funeral sermon was
preached by the Rev. Dr. Winter, when the Chapel was crowd-
ed to excess, and multitudes were prevented from gaining ad-
mission. During the day the shops and houses of the inhabi-
tants were closed, and all seemed desirous of expressing their
esteem and veneration for the memory of one who had for so
long a period sustained the character of an able Divine, an ac-
complished Scholar, a faithful Pastor, a polished Gentleman,
and an eminent Christian.

We regret to have occasion to state that Lord
PET ItE received considerable injury whilst hunting, on Mon-
day last. His Lordship's horse, we are informed, sunk with
both legs in a land drain, when his Lordship was thrown, and
by the fall received so severe a concussion of the brain as to
render him insensible for nearly an hour; although much re-
covered, his Lordship is confined by the accident.—(Chelmsford
Chronicle.)
