,Opy, at 12 o'clock, the remains of this venerable and distin-
umitptithutracter were removed for interment from the house,
No. :17, Burton-crespent, to the family vault, Finchley. The
funeral was not distingulsbaby any ostentatious display, bat
under the direction of Mr. Trey!lan, the underuiker, wa.s mar-
shalled in a very orderly manner. Tile inscription on the coffin
was very simple, merely mentioning the name and age of the
deceased, who front it appears to have been born In 1740.. The
hearse was unadorned with feathers, but was drawn by four
horses. It was followed by one mourning-coach, containing
Dr. Gilchrist, General Pepe, Peter Walker, Esq., and 'l'.
Cleary, Esq., as chief-mourners. The procession was closed
by eight private carriages, containing in the first Joseph Hume,
Esq., 11 .P.; Peter Moore, Esq., ; Dr. llarrison, the
Canon Riego, Captain Matthews, J. Rogers, Esq., - Kerr,
Esq., and a number of the private and public friends of the de-
ceased. The procession moved through Burton-crescent, fol-
lowed by a crowd of pedestrians, into the New-road, and pro-
ceeded onwards to Finchley.
Da. J. 8.. Dins.--r-Yesterday died at his
house, Clapham-common,' Join; BUNNELI. DivuL
senior physician and founder of the Royal Universal Infirmary
for Children ; a man eminent in his profession, and whose be-
nevolence and beneficence to the poor and unfortunate of his
fellow-creatures knew no bounds. As a memorial of his bene-
volence, he has left to his country the Institution of which he
was the founder, an institution than which none can be more
useful ; and his solicits de, for the prosperity of which aggra-
vated, if it did not prodtice, the disease that terminated his
valuable life. An amiable and interesting family, and a nu-
merous circle of friends of the very highest respectability,
bewail his untimely and much-to-be-lamented death.

THE LATE Mr. WATT.—At the General Meet-
..
big of the Proprietors of the Birmingham Canal Navigation,
held at ,their Office on Friday last, it was unanimously resolved
that the su'ni of 100/. be subscribed by this Company, in aid of
the fund in Lofton, for the purpose of erecting it national mo-
nument in Westminster Abbey, or St. Paul's Cathedral, to the
memory of the late James Watt, as a tribute of respect for the
important benefits which, by his extraordinary talents, he has
conferred upon his country, and mankind in general ; and par-
ticularly as a testimonial of the gratitude of the proprietors of
the Birmingham Canal Navigation, for the signal services con-
ferred by him on that undertaking during .the many years in
which he acted as a Member of their Committee.

NEW ROADS.—A communication from the west
end of the town to the North-road will, in a short time, be
opened by a new road which is making from the Regent's
Park across the Hampstead-road, near the Red Caps at Cam-
den Town, from thence, taking an oblique direction across the
field, to the back road Kentish Town, and again on in the
same direction to the North-road, coming in near the Crown
at the bottom of Highgate-hill, in the Holloway-road. Another
road is also said to be in contemplation, from the West to the
North-road, by St. John's-wood, taking a line to the left of
Hampstead, avoiding the hill, and joining the North-road near
Finchley.
Great part of the new street, opposite the
Quadrant, has been inclosed with a high paling, previous to
being Macadamized.
The length of the present water and gas pipes
under the pavement in London, is said to exceed twelve hundred
miles.

There was a ' difference of not less than 45
degrees in the height of the thermometer, at the same hour of
the day, of Sunday last and the Sunday preceding.
Yid I ttoN.—The great scarcity of pig iron,
and the extraordinary advance in price, is almost without pre-
cedent. We are informed, by unquestionable authority, that
the advance on this article, within the last twelve months, his
been fully 60 per cent. This we apprehend will greatly Ufrect
the consumers of iron in general, in this town and neighbour.

We learn by the arrival of a gentleman from
York, Upper Canada, that the first fourth of the
sum of 120,0001. procured by Mr. GALT, for the
sufferers in that province, during the late war
with the Americans, has been paid.
The actual conversations and opinions of the
late Lord BynoN, upon general literature, the'
arts, and public men, treasured up by a very in-
timate friend of his Lordship during the most in-
teresting period •of the Noble Lord's eventful
life, have been preserved, and are to be pub-
lished, prefaced by a short, but authentic Bio-
graphical Sketch..
