cutor to fight a duel. The affidavit of the prose-
cutor stated, that he wa, standing on the hanks
of the Canal, in company with other persons,
when Mr. Herbert, who is a Police Magistrate,
suddenly came u p, and without any previous con-
versation, addressed the . prosecutor, and called
hint a rascal and scOundrel, and asked hint bow he

Aare to interneddle in his atf-►irs. The prosecutor
entleavowed to explain to Air. Herbert, that he
had taken no part in the afiai►, to which Mr.
Herbert answered, " You lie, you scotindrei,
tell you again, you lie."

That the prosecutor, surprised at the unpro-
voked violence of Mr. Livrbert, remarked to hint,
that his language and conduct was not such as he
would expect nom a Magistrate.

Mr. HERBERT explained.--« I wave my privi-
lege as a Magistrate, and I am ready to give you
any satisfaction you desire."
CHIEF have stated enough for
a conditional order, take your ride, unless cause.

DISINTERMENT
OF THE LATE HON. MRS. CAVENDISH.

In a former publication it was our painful duty
to announce the death of the fI('H. Mrs. CAVEN-
DISH, who was cut off in the blootn of life, under
circumstances similar in almost even/ respect to
those which attended_ the fate of the ever-to-he-
lamented Princes,s CHARLOTTE. The former, like
the latter, was blessed with a husband whom she

loved, and in the bosom of domestic felicity en-
joyed every earthly blessing. She had already
been the mother of three beautiful children, and

in presenting to her affectionate partner a fourth,
after sufferings of equal poignancy and duration
to those experienced by the illustrious female to
whom we have alluded, she breathed her last ;
04ereby overwhelming every branch of her faMily
in the deepest affliction. To describe the feelings
of the. Hon. Mr. Cavendish under the melancholy
scene would be impossible. He followed the re-
mains of Mrs. Cavendish to that which he sap-
' posed was to he her last earthly mansion, namely,
to a vault situate in a church-yard between Ness-
don and Harrow, in which the remains of hir
father, Mr. Faulkner, had previously been de-
posited, mi Friday fortnight. It was the wish of
the Hots. Mr. Cavendish to have placed his un-
fortunate Lady in the family cemetery of his an-
cestors, in Derbyshire ; but this desire on his hart
was abandoned, in consequence of her own re-
quest shortly previous to her death. It appears
that about a month antecedent to her confine-
went, she had expressed a wish to visit the tomb
of her father, to whom she was tenderly attached.
Her husband, alive to the consequences which
were to be apprehended from the melancholy re-
collection, which such a visit must create, at-
tempted to dissuade her from her purpose, but in
vain ; and at last accompanied her to the spot,
where she no sooner arrived than she fainted in
his arms. He immediately removed her from the
painful scene, and they returned to town. After
this occurrence it was, as if foreboding her own
approaching fate, she entreated her husband, that
whenever she died her body might be laid beside
that of her parent, and exacted from him a pro-
mise to that effect.,

The' church-yard of Kingsbnry sonds upon a
bill. It i 3 completely isolated. 'There are not
more than t►vo or three farm houses in the neigh—
bourhood. Time nearest populous village is Neas-
don, and that is at least halt a mile distant. The
church itself is constructed with all the rudeness
of ancient times, being built upwards of three cen.-
turies; and althotigk scarce seven miles from Lon- j

Iltefe has nOt h:sto etie slightest 'encroach-
!Vent on iis tormerstate of architecture, save What
necessary repairs deasauded. It is a very sinitriar
specimen of the simple taste of run forefathers.,
and ;‘; well worth the insvction of the curious.
The rides in the vicinity, as well as the country
round, are benutifullk 'piefuresque, and perhaps
afford a greater variety of scenery than is to be
found itt any 001;6- district within so short a dis-
tance 'of the metropolis. In this sequestered spot
the family - vault of Mr. Vaulkner is situated ; it
stands some distairce from the church, and is only
distinguished by; wo plain flat slabs, surrounded
by Nts. iron railing.. The t nttanre to the vault is
without the railing, and r tmered with the grten
sward.
Ou the interment of the Hon. Mrs. 'Cavendish,
the turf was' of course removed, the vault opened,
and her coffin (which enclosed two others, one of
lead and au inner case), covered with rich crim-
son velvet, and adorned with a profusion of gilt
nails, and a gilt plate, on which was inscribed her
name, and the date of her death; was placed beside
that of her father. During this ceremony, the
afflicted husband and the members of the families j
'of each were present. The Rev. Mr. Woodward,
of Kilburn, was the officiating clergyman on the
occasion. •
After the departure of the mournful cavalcade,
it was intimated to the Gentleman who conducted
the funeral, that only two nights previously the
b'ody of a Lady named Harrison, who had died
afer a lingering illness, had beeti tort' from her
grave, and had beet) carried off—the miscreants by
whom the robbery had been committed, having
!ett the grave open, and the empty coffin ex.,
noted to public view. It was also added, that
similar attempts bad been made to obtain other
bodies; and, therefore, it was hinted that it
would be prudent to place some persons to pre-
vent such an atrocious violation of *the tomb
of Mrs. Cavendish. The suggestion was at-
tended- to, and four men. were employed to sit
up 'at night to watch the church-yard—a stable
not far distant being assigned them.as a sort of
guard-house. It was most fortunate that this pre-
taution was adopted, for on the Saturday night
the guards were alarmed 4 the approach of a car-,
riage, which drove up to the church-yard wicket,
having come through 'a lane which terminat-
ed at the church, and through which there was
no thoroughfare. Three or j four men alight-
ed, and were opening the carriage-door, when
the watchmen gave an alarm, and obtain-

•
jug assistance fron the nearest tarns-hOuse, ad-
vanced to the party, knd demanded the object
of their visit. A Jew, who was within the
vehicle, said, " Titat Gentlemen had a right to title
where they liked," and desired they might not be
interrupted; while.aur,ther declared that they had
lost their. way. This story, however, was not
credite'd, and they were. conducted, carriage and
all, to Neasdon, where they were searched, but
nothing was found to afford a ground for their
detention. They were in conseqtmce suffered to
depart. On the next morning', flowerer, on a
COMlnoll over which they had'i)as:.ed in their way
to Neasdon, a sick, a pick-axe, a shovel, a turn-
screw, a ripping chissel, and other implements
were found, which at once proved the object of
the expedition on which the coach and its at-
tendants were embarked. The articles iu ques-
tion had no doubt been thrown away to avoid:
suspicion.

The watchmen now 'bocarne more vi:4ilata, and
in consequence a 'report was circulated that the
Hon. Mrs. Cavendish had been buried in a silver
coffin, with all her jewels. Whether this report,
ridiculous as it was, had any effect in attracting
other marauders, we know not ; but certain it is,
that persons of suspicious appearance were subse-
quently seen about the church yard, and at last
the apprehensions tl►at were entertained of the

- -
disinterment of the remains of the unfortunate Lady
reached the ears of the husband, who, almost dis-
tracted at the thought, sent two of his own 'faithful
servants as an additional guard, to prevent so foul a
purpose. These men, assisted by the persons pre-
viously employed, remained on duty till Friday
morning last, when the Hon. Mr. Cavendish, un-
able to endure the bare suspicion of the posiibility
of his care being frustrated, determined, however
repugnant to the wishes of the deceased when liV-
ing, to have her coffin removed to the vault of his
ancestors in Derbyshire, conceiving that, under
circumstances, he was fully justified' in taking
such a course. Accordingly, on Friday morning
a hearse drawn by four horses, and a mourning
coach, also drawn by four horses, proceeded to
Kingshw y .Cluirch-yard. •

The Hon, Mr. Civendish. and his brother soon
afterwards arrived in a travelling post carriage
with four horses and postillions ; and were sub=
sequently joined by Lord Walpole, One or two
other friends, and the Rev. Mr. Woodward.--
Having all assembled in the Church, was re-
solved to commence the work of exhumation.--=
Several labourers
.were procured, the Vault:of-Mr.
Faulkner was opened, and the cotEn of the Hon:
Mrs. Cavendish was brought forth, almost un=
sullied. It was carried into the church and placed.
on tressels, where fora short time it was .exposed,
to'the gaze of the husband, whose anguish on
this melancholy occasion, the sources of his grief
being as it ‘vere opened offish, may be more easily
conceived than described. At length he was torn
reluctantly from the scene of his misery—the
coffin was placed in the hearse, and was driven off
towards the north-road.

The lionourable Mr, Cavendish and his bilsther
returned to town in their carriage, but ere this
have commenced their route to De►byshire, there
to he present at the second interment of a holy
who was not less admired in public than she was
loved in private life,
Lord Walpole and ,bis friend also returned to
London in a Bennett, and the vault of Mr. Faulk-
nerwas finally closed.

We .cannot conclude this detail without express-
ing our abhorrence or the manner in which sub-
jects are obtained, in order to facilitate the studies
of- 0.4 r anatomical students. Many respectable
fatuities bare 'repeatedly been rendered 'miserable
for years by the practice which at present exists of
robbing the sacred sanctuaries of the dead. Surely
torte meaos might be adopted for supplying every,
necessary demand in this way, without having re-
course to such objectionable and attocious exi s-
dieos.—(Sunday Paper.)
