ROYAL HUMANE SOCIUTY.—The fiftieth anni-
versary festival of this Society was celebrated yesterday at the
City of London Tavern. TIMOTHY CURTIS, Esq., took the
Chair, in the absence of the
_Duke of Northumberland, who
was prevented by an attack of the gout from presiding. His
Grace sent a 1001. Bank note to make his apology. The at-
tendance was unusually crowded and respectable. After the
cloth was removed, the ladies were admitted into a temporary
gallery, erected for the purpose, at one extremity of the room,
which in a few moments was filled with the fair sex, while Mr.
T. Cooke sung, " When the heart of man." Soon afterwards,
the individuals whose lives had been saved by the efforts of the
Society within the last year, amounting, in number, to about
18 or 20 males, and as many females, some of whom were of a
respectable appearance, were conducted round the room in pro-
cession, and presented a very affecting exhibition. The usual
toasts were drank, and several appeals on behalf of the Society
were made ; in the course of which it was stated, that there
were no rival feelings between this Society and the newly-esta-
blished Society for the preservation of life from shipwreck ; on
the contrary, they went hand-in-hand with each other in the
furtherance of their humane object. The Treasurer read a long
received with applause.

night, as two respectable females, one named
Pultvls, an actress attached to a theatrical esta-
blishment, were proceeding past Somerset-house,

mediately conveyed to the shop of Mr. STANTON,

lief, were conveyed home. The moment iss

FUNERAL of SIR GEO. COLLI.V.ii, EAtvr.

The remains of the Gallant and lamented Sir
G EORGE COLLIER Were yesterday deposited in
the family vault, under St. Pancras Church. -
The individuals who had expressed a wish to be preSent
on this melancholy occasion, and to pay a last tribute of re-
spect to the memory of the deceased, assembled at the house
of his brother, at twelve o'clock, and 'were provided *ith
hat-bands, and the other usual costume worn at such ceremo:
ides. Mr. Collier, the brother, was himself so much affected
as to be utterly unable to leave his room. The common theMe
of observation among those who were assembled, was the great
loss which the service and society have sustained by the unfor.,
tunate event which had brought them together ; ail coii-
curred in bearing testimony to the high honour., distinguished
bravery, and moral virtues of the deceased, whose memory'
they will no doubt long continue affectionately to cherish.
The crowd assembled opposite the house to witness the de-
parture of the procession was very considerable.
At ons o'clock all being in readiness, the procession moved.
in the following order:—
The Beadles of the Parish of St. Pancras.
A Plume of Black Feathers.

(iiilegan, Mr. Snee, Sir T. Hardy, Sir I'. Sylvester, Mr. C.
Cood, Capt. W. Shepherd, Capt. Bird, Captain Montgomery,
Capt. Saumarez, Dr. Beatty, and several others.
The procession was closed by twenty close carriages belong-
ing to the friends of the deceased, among which were these of
his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester and several other
persons of rank.—The whole proceeded at a slow pace into
the New-road, and from thence in a direct line to the Church.
On arriving at the road which leads to the grand porch of the.
Church, the hearse was stopped, and the coffin was taken out
and borne on the shoulders of six men.—The pall bearers then
alighted, and took their stations on each side the body; the chief
mourners followed, and these were succeeded by the other
mourners and friends of the deceased walking two abreast. At
the entrance to the Church, the body was met by the Rev. Dr.
Moore, who preceded it up the centre aisle, and then read the
burial service in a most impressive manner.
At the conclusion, the body was re-conducted through the
aisle to the grand porch, and from thence, on the outside of
the Church, to the mausoleum, where the body was deposited
with the customary forms.
The coffin is covered with black velvet, and decorated with
the star of the Order of the Bath. On the breast is a gilt plate,
bearing the following Inscription :
[The Arms of the deceased, engraved with the motto,
" Toujoura Prert."l
" Sir George Ralph Collier, Bart.
Put Captain in the Royal Navy, and.
Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath,
Died 21st March, 18'24,
Aged 51 years."
The whole was conducted with great regularity, under the
direction of Mr. Barker, of Brook-street, the undertaker.

It appears that the melancholy intelligence of the death of
Sir Geo. Collier has been communicated to Lady Collier, at her
cottage' near Exeter, and she received it with Christian forti-
tude. The unhappy mode of his death, however, remains still
to be stated. Her Ladyship is in extreme ill health.
