THE FUNERAL OF MR. MRS. AND MISS BLACK.—
Friday afternoon the funeral of this truly unfortu-
nate family, who perished from suffocation, caused
by the burning of their horse in Bermondsey-
street, took place. The bodies lay at the Anchor
and Eight Bells publieshouse in that street, round
which, as the- hour drew near, several thousand
persons were assembled. At three o'clock the pro-
cession set out in the following manner
Undertaker, as Conductor, two Mutes, with staves
muffled, sasnes and hat bands, next the body of
Mr. Black, foll Owed by that of Mrs. Black, and
then Their daughter, the two first covered with
black palls, and the last with a white one, each
borne by four bearers in black. The infant tliat
was saved alive at its unfortunate mother's breast,
cat ried in the arms of a nurse, following as chief.
mourner, next the father And mother of Mr. Black,
the father and mother of Mrs. Black, and Miss
Rebecca Manton, Mrs. 'Black's sister, who was so
happily delivered from sharing the samefate. As
the melancholy procession passed; all eyes were
bedewed with tears at the untimely fate of so
young- and so respected a_conple. The three
cur-
fins were buried in one grave, in Bermimdsey
nearly facing their late residence.

THE TAVITOCK CANAL.

tAvt•erock, Juit 25.--4)11 itisday List,
most novel 411 d pleasiligevremGuy, took plAcc here,

.. ...
in consequence of the Completio'A of that artlitOM
anti laborious nutlet taking, the l'aVistock Canal,
a concern which reflects Ito k'ss ctetlit on the en-

terprising spirit ot ;Is projectors, than it clot.s on
the patient perseterance ot the adventurerS in,
and supporters of that stupendous work. It was
begun in the year 1803, and has been continued
with unremitting assiduity until the accomplish-
ment of it, which hob occupied a period bf font.-
teen years, during which-the Most intrediblet.iter-
tions have been made, at an eiPenee of nearly
70,0001:to complete the grand object of the Com-
pany, in opening a communication by.water, front
the navigable part of the river Tamar at Morwel-
ham quay, bclonging to Messrs. Gill and Co., trf
the town of 'faviStock, thereby reducing the rate
of carriage full one half, and increasing the fa-
cility of the conveyance of =nave to this town
and the surrounding country, which will be the
means of contributing greatly to*the improvement
of the lands in the neighbourhood, of which the
Duke of Bedford is the principal proprietor ; in
short, the advantages derivable from this import-
ant' undertaking are incalculable, and there is
every reason hope, that not only Tavistock and
its vicinity will be benefited by it, but that the
port of Plyrizooth will also feel the good effects
resulting from the increased inland navigation
thus created in its neighbourhood. It is but jus-
tice to observe, that that distinguished nobleman
the Duke of Bedfotd, who is the proprietor of
one-eigth of this concern, has contributed most
liberally towards the support of. it, in giving up
to the Company the whole of the land through
which the canal is cut without remuneration.

The morning was ushered in by the ringing of
bells, and at 17alf-patt seven o'clock a gun was
flied at the Canal basin as a signal for the boats
and parties-to prepare for the descent of the Canal
and passage ot the Tunnel. At eight o'clock be-
tween three and four hundred persons of all ranks
embarked in nine boats constructed of Sheet iron,
and, Irons the excellent arrangements of the Com-
Mittee of Management, the whole party proceeded
in tir,:ir aquatic subtetraneotts exclusion widt the
„ureatest order and regularity, under a salute of
21 guns, accompanied by a band ot music, flags,
and banners hearing appropriate inscriptions, to-
gether with a company of miners and others
dressed uniformly, with ribbons in their hats,
laving on them the Words " success to the Taci•
stock Canal ;" on arriving at the north-end of
the Tunnel cut under ;Norwell Down, the party
prepared to take leave of day-light for about -two
hours ; there were but few whose fears induced
them to quit the boats, and the rest, to the amount
of more than three hundred, entered this mono-

mem of industry and perseverance, with rather
awful and some ,hat sublime sensations ; the ti-
midity of the Ladies was however soon relieved by
the reverberating sound of the music from the
band and vocal performers in the several boats,
which contributed much to dispel the gloom that
otherwise might have reigned, and to lessen the
tediousness of a voyage of a mile and three quar-
ters underground beneath a canopy of solid rock,
at the depth of 450 feet from the summit of the
hill.

On emerging from the southern month of the
tunnel, the, grotesque appearance of the party
(who had p?vided themselves in various ways
against the occasional droppings from the roof of
the Tunnel) furnished matter ot amusement to the
spectators assembled from all parts of the sur-
rounding country, and by -whoin they were re-
ceived with loud and repeated cheers.
The pleasurable sensations excited by the ap-
proach of daylight, and at length on again enjoy-
ing open sunshine, were indescribable. On re-
landing, another salute of 21 guns was fired and
the operations of' the inclined plane machinery
(which has been erected to convey goods from
the quay to the level of the Canal, which is about
280 feet above that of the river Tamar) were dis-
played, after which the spectators walked down
to Morwhelhani, where an ordinary was provided
at the inn, and refreshments - for the friends of
the proprietors ot the quay ; Mr. Gill presided at
the dinner, and a number of appropriate and loyal
toasts were drank, amongst others the following:

The King and Constitution.
•
The Prince Regent.
Good Ministers and Loyal Subjects.
The Duke and Duchess of Bedford; with all the branches
of that noble family.
Success to tneTavistoth Mineral Canal, and may it prove a
lasting hetiefit to the Propriecors and the neighbourhood.
Success to Mining.
Success to Agriculture and Commerce.
In the evening dancing commenced, and the day
closed without the occurrence of the smallest ac-
cident to embitter the recollection of it ; the
greatest "praise is due to the company for the ac-
commodation afforded to at least five thousand
persons, and for the order and regularity with
which every (blur; was conducted ; the polite at-
tention of airs. Gill to her friends merits their
warmest acknowledgments. The dhy will form an
era in the Commercial History of Tavistock, and
will Jong he remembered, not only for the impor-
taut eveni which it was intended to commemorate,
but for the harmony and general satisfaction that,
prevailed.

Yesterday evening as the PRI&TCH REdENTWas
going through Pall Mall, his carriage unfortu-
nately run over a child, who was, by the order of
his Royal Highness, taken under the imniedia►e
care of an eminent surgeon, and, we are happy
to 'state, no•danger is apprehended from this tic-
cittent,
