FUNERAL OF LORD JEFFREY,

The funeral of the late Lord Jeffrey took place on
Thursday afternoon, and according to the desire of his
relatives and the wish, we understand, of his Lordship,
was strictly of a private nature, as far as the public cha-
racter of the deceased judge would allow. Notwith-
standing this, however, a large assemblage collected in
the neighbourhood of his Lordship's residence in Moray -
place, and numerous groups were formed along the line
which the mournful procession was expected to take, all
evincing by their demeanour profound regret at the loss
which the public have sustained.
The company assembled shortly after twu o'clock,
and about three the body was placed In the hearse, which
was drawn by six horses. The c( ffin bore the following
inscription :—" Francis Jeffrey. Born 1772. Died 1850.
Aged 77 yearr." The funeral procession moved from
his Lordship's house, 24, Moray-place, imme-
diately afterwards, and consisted of fifteen mourning
coaches, with a large number of private carriages. His
Lordship's own carriage, which was unoccupied, imme-
diately followed the hearse. The chief meurner was
Professor Empson of Haileybury College, son-in-law to
Lord Jeffrey ; and amongst those in attendance were
the Lord Justice-General, the Lord Justice-Clerk, and
the other Judges of the Court of Session; the
Dean of Faculty; Lord Dunfermline; Sir William
Newbigging ; Mr. Sheriff Gordon ; Wiliam Murray,
Esq., cf Henderland; J. M. Lindsay, Esq.; James Gib-
son-Craig, Esq.; James Campbell, Esq., of Craigie
Adam Black, Esq.; Archibald Mackenzie, Esq.; Right
Roy. Bishop Terror; Rev. Dr. Guthrie; Professors Wil-
son, Christison, lanes, Pillans, Alison, Simpson, and
Miller; Messrs. A. E. Monteith, James Moncrieff, J.
Hi Burton, Cleghorn, advocates, &c.
The melancholy cortege proceeded along Great
Stuart-street, Ainslie-place, Randolph-crescent, and the
Dean-bridge, to the Western Cemetery, which was the
place of sepulture fixed upon, and was a favourite resort
cf his Lordship. The grave is situated at the west side
of this picturesque and beautiful cemetery—a spot
visited by his Lordship not many days previous to his
death. The proce-sion having arrived at the spot,
the coffin was removed from the hearse and lowered into
the grave, the pall-bearers being Professor Empson, T.
Brown, Esq., J. T. Murray, Esq , J. Hunter, Esq., W .
Morehead, Esq., James Stirling, Esq., James Leslie,
Esq., and Alexander Napier, Esq. The melancholy ce-
remony was soon over, and the mortal remains of Fran-
cis Jeffrey were left to mingle with kindred dust.
The funeral arrangements were most satisfactorily
conducted by Messrs. Aitken and Allen, 102, Prince's-
street.

The Lbrd Provost having written in the name of the
magistrates and council to Professor Empson, stating
that "it would be gratifying to the magistrates and
council ,t) be permitted to attend the funeral of his
Lordship in their official capacity," Professor Empson,
in reply, says:—
" Lord Jeffrey's family are deeply sensible of the
feelings entertained towards him by his fellow-citizens,
and are sorry that, in compliance with what they believe
to bare been Lord Jeffrey's objection to public funerals,
they are obliged to decline that testimony cf reipect to
his memory."—Scotsman."

SEND THEM TO THE RAGGED SCHOOL.--On Wed-
nesday, J. Gilmore and M. Matticaore, two ragged boys,
were charged before the magistrates, at Sunderland,
with having been found begging. Ordered to be sent to
the Ragged School. Mr. Candlish, secretary to the
Ragged School, who was present, addressed the bench
to the effect that the committee, being of opinion that
juvenile mendicancy was productive of great moral evil,
would be glad to receive all the children found begging
in town into the Ragged School. The magistrates con-
curred in the opinion. The police were ordered to send
all children found begging fir the futuro to the Ragged
School.—Sunderland Herald.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION :OF 1851.—The COM-
mittt e appointed to organise and collect subscriptions for
the Great Exhibition of Industry of all Nations consists
of Lord Granville, Mr. Alderman Thompson, George
Drew, and Francis Fuller, Esqv., who meet daily at the
Board of Trade.
CAMELFORD.— DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT WEAPONS
or WARFARE.-While some labourers were employed a
few seeks since in excavating for the foundation of a
house at Slaughter-bridge, near Catnelford, they dug up
some implements of ancient war, consisting of a battle-
axe, a spear, and a spur, supposed to have laid buried
there since the days of King Arthur. Tradition says
that on that spot a sanguinary battle was fought between
the troops of Arthur and those opposed to him, and
that the nephew of Arthur was killed in the fight. His
remains were interred near the spot, and were after-
wards removed to Glastonbury. The persons who found
the articles named, gave them away, setting
but little
value on them; but could they be procured,
in we think
they would be a valuable relic to be depositedone
f the museums in this county. The spar is now in the
possession cf Mr. Creeper, of the White Hart Inn, Ca-
melford.

MAJORITY OF TSB HON. MR. VERNON.—On Fri-
day the Hon. Augustus Henry Vernon, son of Lord
Vernon, lord of the manor of Stockport, and the pro-
prietor of several extensive collieries in the neighbour-
hood, came of age, and the event was celebrated with
great enthusiasm, both in Stockport and in the village of
Poynton, where the family resides. A sumptuous dinner
was laid in the Town-hall, Stockport, at which the mayor
presided, supported by the Hon. Mr. Vernon, the prin-
cipal gentry of the town being present on the occasion.
Poynton presented a scene of the utmost conviviality, the
workmen employed under Lord Vernon being all re-
galed to their heart's content with most substantial fare.
The festivities continued until alste hour.

EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY IN THE CITY.--Late on
Saturday evening considerable alarm was caused in the
neighbourhood of Bishopsgate-street Without, owing to
the following daring robbery. A respectably-dressed
young man entered the shop of Mr. Hyho, a silversmith
and watchmaker, and asked to be shown a silver watch.
One was produced (a half-plate lever), which the fellow
examined very minutely, and having inquired the price,
he put his hand into his pocket, as it was supposed, to
take out the money to pay for the article. Instead,
however, of so doing, he seemed to hesitate a little, and
asked to be shown another somewhat lighter. Mr. Hyho
having turned round to reach another, the fellow threw
the contents of his hands, which, instead of being
money, were either gunpowder or some other combus-
tible, upon the gaslight. Several persons passing by the
shop thinking the place had taken fire, immediately
started to White Cross-street brigade station tor the en-
gine. The thief rushed out of the shop, carrying with
him the watch. The moment Mr. Hyho recovered him
self he ran out of the shop and followed the man for
some distance, shouting " Stop thief," but the fellow
succeeded in getting clear off. The only damage done to
the premises was the breaking the gas-lamp and black-
ening some of the window,.
