green cemetery. The funeral trains consisted of four
mourning coaches with four horses each, and about ten pri-
vate carriages, among others the carriages of the Duke of
Sussex and Mr. Fox Maule. A number of persons we re
collected about the grave, and seemed to take a melancholy
interest in the ceremony. It appeared from the inscription
on the coffin that he was in his sixty- ninth 3 ear.
TRADE OF DUNDEE.--Little encouragement
seems to prevail in freighting vessels to the Baltic ; yet
we era glad to see that many of our large class of ships are

CHAIN-BRIDGE OVER THE DANUBE.—A
coffer-dam for a new chain-bridge over the Danube, at
Perth, is proceeding very vigorously under Mr. Adam
Clarke, an English engineer, assisted by thirty English
workmen. Their solidly constructed piles have hitherto
withstood the immense masses of ice brought down by the
Danube, to the great enhancement of the fame of English
engineering.

THE DEAN OF YORK.--Tuesday a meeting
f the rate-payers of the parish of St. Michael-le-Belfrey,
York, was held in the vestry, amongst other business, to
consider the propriety of presenting a dutiful and loysl
add ess to the Queen, on the subject of the late proceed-
ins against the Very Rev. Dr. Cockburn, Dean of York.
Tee Rev. W. Taylor, the vicar, presided, and there was a
numerous attendance of parishioners. It was stated, how-
ever, that proceedings were in pi-egress for the reversal of
the sent. nee, and it was thought advisable not to proceed
further at present, and the meeting accordingly separated,
after agreeing to an address to the Dean, expressive of
their concern at the late proceedings, and of their hope
that ere long he will be restored to the high office of
which he has lately been deprive:l.—Doncaster Gazette.
ANTI-CORN LAW DEMONSTRATION.—We
perceive that our Corn-low Repealing friends have
changed the place of gathering from the Riding-school
to the Trades' Hall. The reasons have not transpired.
Possibly they may have had some misgivings of a
certain kind ; and, to keep all right, the whole af-
fair is to be a dinner in the Trades' Hall, tickets
eight shillings each. We do hope that the parties get-
ting up the concern will never bring men from Lone
don and other pens of the country to talk for one evening
to about three or four hundred individuals. Surely they
will give the people, the poor, ignorant, deluded people,
an opportunity of hearing the wise ones of the earth,
if it were but for one night. They will all be
listened to, and perhaps the people's eyes will be
opened so that they may perceive the error of their
ways. Why not have another meeting such as was held
at Leeds ; let us have a little civic chat together.
and if it does no good why it will do noharm. By-the-by.
it is whispered that Dan himself is to be there. Well, we
feel convinced, that the working people of Glasgow will
rejoice to see him; they will rejoice to have an opportunity
of testifyieg their respect for his honesty and pure inten-
tions. He must be prepared, however, with a good belly-
ful of wind, for the working-classes of Glasgow have a
grea. deal to ask.—Scots Times.
MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Archdeacon Ry-
der, with his usual kindness, had invited a juvenile party
to meet his sons at Billinterry for the Easter holidays,
consisting of Master hers of Castle Ivers, and Mater
Henry Boyle D. Freeman, son of the Rev. Richard
Deane Freeman. On Saturday last these young gentle-
men proceeded to Busby-park to shoot rabbits. The
elder Master Ryder tried to draw the ramrod of his gun,
his brother holding the stock, while he pulled the ramrod ;
the gun by some means went off and shot Master Ryder
severely in the side. Doctor Campbell of Fermoy, and
Doctor Barry of Rathcormac, were soon in attendance.
The poor sufferer lies at Bushy-park, the seat of Mr.
Campion, where ever3thing that medical skill can suggest,
and the most unceasing kindness supply, is being done for
him. Since the above account reached us, we have heard
that the melancholy accident has terminated fatally.
The poor lad breathed his last on Sunday evening._

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-----About one
o'clock on Monday morning, two young men, tradesmen,
w. re coming up Greenside, both of them the worse for
liquor, and observing a light in the window of a public-
huese in a sunk area in Greenside-place, applied at the
door to be admitted. The landlord, however, refused
t open the door, and the young men, supposing that the
window was at the bottom of the area, resolved to leap
down and force an entrance by that means. In this cal.
colation they were wretchedly mistaken, the area was se-
veral storeys down from the street, and the consequence
of their rash resolution was that one of them had his leg
traCtured by the fall, while the other, still more unfortu-
nate, had his back broken. They were both conveyed to i
the Royal Infirmary, where the latte
