PORTSMOUTH; AUG. 25.—The reduction of the military
establishment took place yesterday. It has been carried into
effect, as we some time ago mentioned, by the disbandment
of two troops and two companies throughout the whole of the
Line and Fcot Guards, together with thatuf the 10th and 19th
Light Dragoons. No battalion of Infantry has been reduced.
The regiments abroad (in the same manner as those in India)
keep up a Captain and two Subalterns, for the purpose of re-
cruiting., which has given rise to the mistaken report that they
lose one company only. Though all infantry battalions are
thus diminished from ten companies to eight, the number of
privates in each of those eight, is increased by seven men,
making sixty-nine privates instead of sixty-two. The non-
commissioned continue as heretofore, and the proportion of
drummers is less. On the late establishment the total strength
of a regiment of foot (every body included) was 746 ; at present
it is 650. The reducible Officers, of course the juniors of each
rank, are to receive full pay to the 20th of October; and all
casualties occurring in their respective corps up to that day, are
to tell in their favour. Should any officers, not the juniors,
chute, during the same period, to make application for half-
pay, such optional retirement will be exempted from the usual
consequence of annulling the future claims of their widows for
the pension; or if they should prefer to sell their com-
missions, the Commander in Chief has been pleased to grant that
permission, viz.:—to CaptainS,who have served sixteen years in
the army, and to Subalterns, who have served twelve. The ob-
ject of this gracious indulgence on the part of his Royal High-
ness (which will, however, cease with the occasion), is to enable
those to retire from the Army, to the best advantage, who, from
wounds dr service, may conceive themselves disqualified for the
.more active-duties of the profession. Farther to promote such
view, the prices of commissions have lately been raised by a.
Board of General Officers, assembled for that purpose, and
who, by augmenting the value of each grade in succession,
have raised the amount of a Lieutenant-Coloneley of Horse
from £4980 to £6175, and of Foot from J:3500 to £4509 ; the
former sums having 'been the value fixed on those commissions
by a like Board, which sat in the reign of his late Majesty.
With respect to those officers who have recently returned to the
service, by paying the regulated difference, and who are new
placed on halt-pay, their number is by no means great ; and
his Royal Highness, who duly appreciates their attachment to
their profession, and their zeal in following it up, is fully de-
tennined to hold them in consideration as the very first to be
provided for according as opportunities offer.
The 3741 i regiment, under the command of Lieut. Colonel
Buser, arrived at Quebec, from Montreal, in May last, and
was inspected by the Earl of Dalhousie, the Commander of the
Forces, on the 14th of June, when an order was issued, expres-
sive of his Excellency's unqualified approbation of their sok:Lie:-
like appearance, and high state of discipline.

FUNERAL

OF
lioi%iTY AND GEORZE VRANC.

Yesterday was fixed by Dr:WATSON and GALE
JONES for the public funeral of the above indi-
viduals, and in pursuance of the request contained
in the hand-bills, circulated and posted about
town, crowds of persons were assembled at
Smithfield by twelve o'clock. At that hour Dr.
Watson, elevated upon the corner of one of the
cattle-stalls, gave notice that the funeral would
not come there, but would wait their arrival at
Kingsgate-street, Holborn. Accordingly the
assembled crowd posted away to this spot, and
at about one o'clock the coffin was placed in the
hearse, and the procession, consisting of the
hearse with four horses, preceded by the sable
plume of feathers and two horsemen, followed
by four mourning coaches and two, began the
business of the day, by directing its course along
Holborn. There were a few idlers along this part
of the town. The body of R. Honey had been
conveyed in a hearse similarly attended, as we
have above stated, from Rolles-street, Soho, to
Oxford-street, where it remained upwards of an
hour in attendance before the other part of the
procession came up. The whole cavalcade, as it
proceeded along Oxford-street, was preceded by
a band, playing the 104th Psalm, in front of
which were two flags, one with the motto, " Let
Justice guide the Scale," and " The Providing
Brothers," on the other. The crowd, of course,
went before and behind, and on each side of the
funeral procession, without paying much atten-
tion to the order of their march. The route pur-
sued was through Duke-street, Grosvenor-square,
South Audley-street, into Park-lane, Hyde-park-
corner, Knightsbridge, Kensington, and Hammer-
smith. All the gates of the Park were closed
and boarded up, and a troop of luirse patrol was
in attendance in Foyard's Riding School in the
Park.—ln passing the Barracks of the Life
Guards at Knightsbridge, the mob thus early
evinced that disposition to insult the soldiers
which at a later period in the day occasioned the
indiscriminate conflict which took place. Mr.
Sheriff Waithman, attended by three of his offi-
cers on horseback, met them about Hyde Park-
corner, and it was principally from his interces-
sion that this spirit of insult, which aftenp,rds
broke through all controul, was curbed for the
moment. Having passed this point, where
the attendant crowd had gained considerabk
strength, the whole procession arrived at Ham-
mersmith in a tolerably peaceable manner,
though greatly diminished as to numbers. Ham-
mersmith experienced no great influx of company
in the forenoon. A few persons occasionally re
paired to the church-yard to inspect the spot
where the remains of the subjects of the two
Inquests, which' have attracted so much atten-
tion, were to be deposited. The grave (but one
was provided) was dug near the eastern end of
the church, and was remarkably capacious, be-
ing from Wto 12 feet deep. Shortly after two
o'clock, the town became very full, and from
chat time, every minute saw the crowd increased
by the arrival of vast numbers of pedestrians,
nd persons who had procured the accommoda-
tion of seats in carts and caravans, which were
loaded on this occasion, as they commonly are
to the fairs which are held in the vicinity of
the metropolis. The parties thus conveyed to
Hammersmith did not differ materially in their
appearance or deportment from the groupes
commonly exhibited at such seasons. The win-
dows by the road side were occupied by numerous
spectators, as were the trees in the church-yard,
and the tower of the church. It was about four
o'clock that what was considered the first part of
the procession arrived. A large body-of men
(apparently mechanics) advanced bare headed.
Two flags were carried with them. A plume of
feathers followed, and this was succeeded by the
hearse which contained the coffin 'of Honey, and
the four mourning coaches. A considerable in-
terval occurred before the hearse which bore the
remains of Francis appeared. It was supposed
by some that both the bodies were in the first
hearse, and the windows were partially deserted
when the second plume of feathers made its ap-
pearance, closely followed by the other hearse and
mourning coaches. Those who immediately preced-
ed and accompanied the hearses advanced in silence
and in a very orderly manner. Arrived at the church-
yard, from the immense crowd there assembled,
the procession was considerably impeded. The
body of Honey was first conveyed from the hearse
on the shoulders of eight men to the centre aisle,
and placed on tressels. With much difficulty a
passage was cleared for the advance of the se-
cond coffin, which was at length accomplished,
and the whole of the mourners were accommo-
dated with seats in pews on the right hand side
of the aisle. Silence was then called for and ob-
tained, and the usual service was read, after
which,the coffins were removed in the same order as
before to the grave.ln theirway through the church-
yard, the mourners were very much incommoded
by the pressure of the crowd-, and some alter-cation
occurred between those who thus intruded on them,
and other spectators who resented the inconve-
nience to which they were subjected. One or
two pickpockets were taken into custody. It
was not possible to bring the whole of the
mourners close to the grave till the bodies had
been covered, and the remainder of the service
appropriated to the burial of the dead, had been
performed. ‘V hen the Clergyman concluded,
they passed on to the grave, and thence to the
coaches which were waiting for them. They
speedily reared, and the proprietors of the carts
began to re-load, but much of the company they
had brought down betook themselves to the
public houses in the neighbourhood, which were
crowded for several hours.

The following is an account of the outrageous
attack yesterday on the Military, by the ruffians
who attended the funeral procession of the un-
fortunate men who were killed in the riots of
Tuesday se'nnight, as given in The Morning Post
of this day :
" On this occasion .a general halt was made
'before the Life Guards' Barracks, Knights-
bridge, the gates of which were closed ; and as
evening advanced the crowd thickened by the

addition- of many vilui had beim -good cuitmuers
to the ale-house. By about six, a dense crowd
was assembled, at this spot, who did not seem at
all disposed to move, but .by their groans and
hisses, and taunting expresiiins, seemed resolved
upon resorting to every possible means of exits-
' peratifig the 'military. In this; ita will be seen
by the sequel, they finally succeeded. Mean-
time, Mr. Sheriff Waithman, assisted by three
peace officers, with staves in their hands, •was
occupied by words and gesture, in endeavouring
to maintain order. Two or three of the soldiers
were engaged in smoking and drinking, seated
at the window of a neighbouring ale-house, and
about half a dozen in their stable dresses outside
the door, who attracted the particular attention,
and of course with it the execrations of the po-
pulace. These Mr. Waithrrian rode up to, and
made it his particular request that they would
retire to their quarters, which the men imme-
diately complied with. The unmanly return
which was made, on the part of the mob, to this
becoming conduct of the soldiers is worthy of re-
mark. "Whilst in the act of retiring, from a most
delicate sense of propriety under the circum-
stances of the case, the soldiers were assailed
with a volley of mud and stones, some of which
entered the windows.of the first floor of the pub-
lic-house, and alternately saluted with a torrent
of hisses and groans, mixed with the acclamations
of triumph. Judicious as this step may appear
on the part of Mr. Wald:in-lan and the soldiers,
we cannot help thinking that it was the means
of hastening, if not of causing the affray which
shortly followed, being hailed by the mob as a
triumphant defeat, thereby tending to strengthen
the disposition to audacious insolence which
had already shewn itself. Every soldier that
showed himself at any of the barrack windows
was violently insulted. The Civil Power, con-
sisting of some constables, and Mr. Waithman's
three attendants, endeavoured to persuade the
mob to imitate the example of those they were
insulting, but they seemed too well pleased with
their game to listen to any suggestion of that
description. After they had thus continued
loudly venting their insolence in the most out-
rageous manner, a stray soldier, unarmed, hap-
pened to make his appearance amongst them on
his return to the barracks. Stimulated by what
they considered their former victory in forcing
a retreat, and rendered courageous by the com-
parative weakness of the enemy, the mob seized
the favourable opportunity to shew their valour,
and commenced a most brutal and cowardly at-
tack upon this single individual. An unequal
contest was maintained for some minutes, the'
soldier defending himself with determined courage •
and address against a multitude of assailantS,
armed with bludgeons, and employing the use of
their fists.' This man was quickly joined by one
or two of his comrades, who, regardless of the
number of their foes, threw themselves over the
barrack-wall, and flew to his assistance. In the
space of five or six minutes the contest, became
general. The soldiers being strictly confined to
their quarters, were seen letting themselves down
from the windows, scaling the walls, and rushing
unarmed to the rescue of their companions. Al-
though personal strength and dauntless courage
were thus brought to the engagement, they were ,
vain before the vast superiority of numbers. The
Life Guardsmen were seen every where hemmed
in by the assailants, in some cases performing pro-
digies single-handed, against a host ; but in others
under the feet of their merciless adversaries. The
alarm reached the interior of the barracks,where
'the reports of what was passing without spread
with the rapidityof lightning. Every man conceived
it his duty to go to the relief of his sinking com-
panions ; a simultaneous rush was made to the
gates, which, in spite of the guard, were soon
forced upon, and a body of soldiers poured out
upon the scene of action. Some had armed them-
selves witis swords,. others with carbines, and
some only with sticks, whilst others again ap-
peared wholly unarmed. The scene was quickly
changed ;. the attack of this reinforcement did
not fail to make an impression on the mob, who
were worsted on all sides. A space was pre-
sently cleared round the gates of the barracks
for upwards of fifty yards. Many. of the unfor-
tunate soldiers who had been long engaged in
the affray were dragged along the ground into
the barracks, dreadfully lacerated about the
head and covered with blood and dirt. The sol-
diers still continued to pour out, additionally in-
flamed at this sight of their helpless comrades.—
The contest, however, did not continue much
longer. The populace, driven to -a distance, and,
not daring to accept the challenge of their adver-
saries to'meet them single-handed, commenced a-
shower of missiles, consisting of brickbats, stones,
Sc. We saw several soldiers bleeding in the face
from wounds thus receiv'cd. We did riot see a single
blow struck by the swords; but few were armed
with them, and as far as our observation went, they
were generally used to make a clearance, and not in
personal contest: The buttend of the carbine was
used in. some cases of audacious- assaults, and we
haVe been informed that two persons with slight
sabre woun,li were taken to St. George's Hos-
pital. The soldiers having rescued their compa-
nions and driven the mob from the gates, were
without much difficulty induced, by the exertions
of their Officers, to return to their quarters. The
dear's were closed upon as many as could be got
within the scope of their swing, and those remain-
ing outside were then induced to return through
the wicket. The whole scene, when the engage-
ment was at the hottest, presented as motley. a
spectacle of a pole mole encounter as we ever
witnessed. The spirited conduct of the troops
engaged in the rescue of their comrades from the
murderous assaults of ruffians, with the, same
weapons as their opponents, was conspicuous
throughout the. scene. Their intrepid 'gallantry
in fearlessly rushing upon superior numbers, with
no advantage but that of superior courage, will
furnish the best answer tio. those cowardly ca-
lumniators who have laboured so hard to in-
spire an. idea that the courage. of those_ brave
troops resides only under the cover of a steel
corsiet. The mob too have- been undeceived
in this respect, if they, ever • 'indulged in such
a notion. When the soldiers had all retired,
an immense crowd again collected in front of
the Barracks; consisting of persons of the

loWest deicription, and of boys. They disturb-
ed the neighbourhood fora long time with shouts
and execrations, and some of them forced a large
placard over the gates, which they called to the
soldiers to read. Several times it was reported
that the Life Guards were coming forth, and
this caused a most precipitate retrograde move-
! ment to be made on the instant„ Those who
were unable to get forward with their accom-
plices who headed the retreat, were the first to
he undeceived, and then fall their courage re
' turning, • they loudly and tauntingly called on
those who fled " to return and stand their ground
like men." Stones were frequently thrown over
the wall at the windows of the barracks, and the
Mob were thus employed ,when the band. which had
attended the process ion,returned through Knights-
bridge; playing a lively tune, and accompanied by
the two flags which had been exhibited in the
early part of the day. This drew off some part
of the cioti'd, but the most mischievous remained.
At length Mr. Conant, the Magistrate, arrived,
and finding the disposition to rioting increase,was
compelled to read the Riot Act, entreating the
assembled crowd quietly to disperse, to which
not the slightest attention was paid ; in a few
minutes it was found necessary to employ force,
and the gates were again opened, when a strong
party of the Police rushed out and a very sharp
contest ensued between them and the popu-
lace, finally ending, however, in . their entire
dispersion. At ten o'clock the streets towards
the barracks were completely cleared. Some
of the soldiers on duty were much hurt from
the stones and brickbats which had been.
thrown in showers over the .barrack wall,
of which there was not less than a barrow full,
some at least from three to four pounds in
weight. An immense number of panes were
broken. On making inquiry at St. George's
Hospital to ascertain the precise numberof per-
sons that had been wounded on this sad occasion,
we were informed that three persons had been
brought into the house with wounds, but that only
one individual, named Berry, remained, who, it
was reported, had received a sabre wound ; but
on asking him how he came by the blow, he con-
fessed it was not from a sabre but proceeded
from a stone. The other persons, after their
wounds had been dressed, which were very slight,
returned to their homes. Mr. Waithman, who
had taken his departure from the scene of action
about six o'clock, returned upon hearing of the
disturbance. Followed by his officers, he
galloped on the foot-way under the barrack wall,
in pursuit of the soldier who had been engaged
with the populace, and whom it appeared to be his
desire to apprehend.. The man however was joined
by some of his comrades, and after the people
were cleared from the spot, Mr. Waithman's
bridle was seized by one of the soldiers, with a
view to turn the horse off the footpath ; this was
resisted by the Sheriff, who struck the soldier
over the head with his stick, and in return was
nearly unhorsed. He returned more than once
to the ground, and finally left it at half-past
seven.---Several accidents occurred. A cart was
overturned by a hackney-coach with several per-
sons in it. None was seriously hurt, but there
is too much reason to fear that the disorders of
the day were such as completely to answer the
purpose of the projectors of this business." •

Mr. D. JENNINGS started on Saturday for
Pari?, with a set of Pie-balds, excelling in beauty
any display in MAT MILTON Genealogy.
The renowned Pegasus, which was selected
out of five hundred thorough-bred horses, for his
MAJESTY'S cabriolet, was sold the other day by
HARMAN DYSON for a considerable sum.
HORRID MURDER.—We have this week the
painful task of announcing the occurrence of an atrocious mur-
der, which, as respects the manner in which it was perpetrated,
has, we believe, scarcely any parallel. The circumstances
of this horrid catastrophe are as follow s—Mr. William Troke
(who resides at Dudmore Farm, in the parish of Christchurch),
rode, on Tuesday morning, to an oat field, in his occupation,
which a labourer, named Anthony Harris, had been mowing.
On entering the field, he remonstrated with anis, who was theli
taking his breakfast, for not having, done so much work as h
expected. An altercation ensued, and Harris threatened, if his
master did not go away, he would cut him down. This
threat he almost immediately carried into execution, by grasping
the scythe with which lie had been mowing, and aiming
a blow, which Mr. T. parried with his stick. This he repeated by
another,which took a transversedirection, severed the wind-pipe,
and nut through the collar bone, inflicting a dreadful
wound seven inches in. length.—The unfortunate victim died
almost instantly, and the murderer was%apprehended on the
spot, by a shepherd, who was apprised of the circumstance by
a little boy, a son of the deceased, who was present when the
fatal blow was given. An inquest was held by Mr. Baldwin,
and a verdict of wilful murder returned against Harris, who is
committed to the County Gaol on the Coroner's warrant, to take
his trial at the next March Assizes.—(Hampshire Chronicle,
Aug. 25.)

17/XEUTlON.—Yesterday morning, John Rennie
and William Sutherland were executed on a platform erected
at the head of Libberton's Wynd, pursuant to their sentence,
for the crimes of housebreaking and theft. 'The unfortun-
ate young men were attended on the scalibld by Bailies Child
and Mackenzie, and were assisted in their devotions by the
Reverend Henry Grey and the Reverend Mr. Porteous. After u
psalm had been sung, Sutherland prayiiil very ferventlyi and
at the conclusion requested to be allowed to address the crowd
assembled round the scaffold, which was granted. He then
advanced to the railing, and entreated the multitude to take a
warning from his and his oompanion's fate, which had been
brought on by keeping bad company. He said, he freely for-
gave his enemies, but attributed his ruin to a civil ofhcer of
great trust and respectability. Although the assortiox wam
made in the near prospect of death, there is every reason to
doubt its truth ; indeed we do not believe it, as we think it .111-
possible that any man of honourable feeling would lend himself
to the training of youth to practices which almost invarially
lead to a premature end, and in place of stopping, are the means
of increasing crime. During the time the executioner was ad-
justing the ropes, Sutherland appeared restless, and frequently
looked round him with a wild stare. Rennie was perfectly
passive, and seemed resigned to his fate. After passing a few
moments in prayer, Sutherland gave the signal, when they
were launched into eternity. Sutherland, we understand, was
native of this city, and Rennie, whose real name was Ren-
wick, came from Carlisle.—(Edinburgh Courant, Aug. 23 )
A serious accident, had nearly befallen the ce-
lebrated Charles Incledon last night. Acc:::n-

panied by two friends, a double bass and a cele-
brated flute player, the Vocalist hired a hack-
ney coach opposite the Foundling Hospital ;
they had not proceeded many yards before the
axletree broke, and the vehicle and its contents
were precipitated to the ground. The sudden.
shock produce a musical response. The eccen-
tric Vocalist astonished the company who were
just quitting the Foundling Chapel, and sur-
rounded the coach, by chaunting through the
window, as the body of the vehicle remained in
an inclined position," Hark the lark of Heaven's
gate sings ;" he was, of course, immediately re-
cognized and relieved from his perilous s%tuation
without injury to himself or friends.--(Morning
Chronicle.)

DAILY EXTRACTS, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS,

[MORNING POST.]
OUTRAGEOUS ATTACK. ON THE MILITARY.—
The verdict of " Wilful Murder" returned by
the Jury who sat on the body of George Francis,
has filled the enemies of order with exultation,
and its friends with regret. Both perceive its
direct and unavoidable tendency to encourage
the mob in its career of outrage, and in a
proportionate: degree to shackle the exertions
of the military in defence of the public peace.
The former therefore conceive that they have
gained a great point, the latter that a main
security has been lost. With the country in
gfneral, the feeling is that of disgust. The strong
disposition displayed through all the stages of
the Inquest to admit as good evidence whatever
Eustried to tell against the military, and to reject
all that tended to justify their eonduct,,had left
but little cause to doubt what would be the ulti-
mate decision. But it was .to. be expected that
the exposition of the law on the part of, the Co-
roner would have made the point. at issue so
clear, that those most willing to gratify political
prejudices would have felt themselves disarmed of
all excuse to cloak partiality, and would not have
dared to give a verdict contrary to the facts of
the case. What must our opinion of the candour
and `judgment of these gentlemen be, when
we find that such an exposition was actually
made; and that although not heard by the pub-
lic, on account of the extreme hoarseness with
hich the Coroner was afflicted, it could not fail
to reach the ears of the Jury, from their proximity
to his seat. What are we to think of men who,
when all the intermediate degrees of possible cri-
minality were laid before them, regardless of the
provocation proved to have been given to the
soldiers, regardless of the resistance to legitimate
authority, not even. denied on the part of the
mob, could leap at -once to' the very highest of
those degrees, and call that" wilful murder," or
killing 46 with previous malice," which was not
46 even simple homicide i" for simple homicide re-
quires that the killing" should have been intend-
ed, and should be without excuse!"

• [THE TIMES.]
Our bodings of mischief from the projected
funeral of Yesterday were not, unhappily; with-
out foundation, although the precise form and
occasion of 'that mischief were not such as could
well have been foreseen. The funeral took
place. A great crowd attended. A powerful
civil force had also been provided by the Sheriff,
who himself accompanied the procession to Ham-
mersmith ; and as no troops were authorised to
molest or meddle with it, all so far went smoothly
en. On the return, however, past Knightsbridge-
barracks, the gates of which were unfortunately
open, some insulting language. was interchanged
between the soldiers and people, whew-the for-
mer, apparently under no .restraint from their
officers, rushed into the road and attacked the
people on their passage. Some of the Life
Guards wore their side arms ; and some persons
were seriously hurt, though none mortally. The
Sheriff himself was in imminent peril, one soldier
being observed in the act of preparing to " bring
him down." The whole is said to have proceed-
ed from the intemperance of the privates of the
Life Guards, who seemed to be under no con-
trout. What scenes are these in a civilized coun-
try ? Arid what have they to answer for who set
afloat the spirit which has produced them ?
*„* The concluding question in the foregoing. Extract is
a proof of hardihood and contempt of public opinion which
cmld scarcely be expected in the Paper whence it issued, con-
sideritrg:that, ever since the return of the late Queen to this
country, its columns have been devoted to attempts to excite
divisions among the People, and confusion in die Empire.

lORNING CHRONICLE.]
-
We imagined that the infamous Journal which
has been so extensively patronised by Courtiers
and Tories for its disgusting calumnies against
the Queen, would have cause to regret her death.
'We naturally supposed that the wretches who
prostituted their pens, to gratify the inclinations
of their patrons, would see the propriety of pay-
ing so much deference to the common feeling of
mankind, as to allow her Majesty's ashes to re-
maip undisturbed, and that their trade would,
therefore, be in a great measure at an end. It
seems, however, we entertained a more favourable
opinion of John Bull, and the patrons of John
Bull, than they deserve. In no former number is
so much rancorous abuse heaped on this deeply
injured Lady as in that of yesterday. One ca-
lumny of a most atrocious nature is several times
repeated with a confidence which might deceive
persons not acquainted nith the audacity with
which this Journal lends itself to the grossest
falsehoods. It is alleged that the Queen dis-
closed to Dr. Lushington, in the presence of four
other persons, that William Austin was her own
son, and that this disclosure was communicated
by Dr. Lushington to the Earl of Liverpool. In
an affidavit lately made before Mr. Alderman Ye-
naL'les by a person of the name of NVhitaker, re-
specting the manner in which he had been
treated by some Life-guard soldiers, it. was
stated that a serjeant " made use of the most
filthy and beastly language respecting the late
Queen and Alderman Wood, and said the
latter was a disappointed Radical, in consequence
of the Queen leaving him nothing in her
and that the Queen on her death-bed had ad-
mitted that William Austin was her son. I re-
plied flatly that it was a downright falsehood."
—"Flat enough," says this calumnious Journal,
" for how should Whitaker knows We' will
swear that Wood is a disappointed Radical; and
we do not believe, that (although) Dr. Lushing-
ton and four other persons who were in the room
at the time with him, will deny either roundly or
flatly, as Mr. Whitaker did, the Queen's admis-
sion about Billy." In another paragraph the
falsehood is stated even more circumstantially.
That Dr. Lushington, if a disclosure of this kind
had been made to him, would exert himself as he
has done, to affix on her Majesty's coffin the
inscription in which she is termed an injured
Queen, will be believed by none who know any
thing of his character. But Dr. Lushington is at

this time out of thecountry,—and the vile ca-
lumniator has availed himself of his absence, in
the hope that before the lie can be contradicted
by him, it may obtain an extensive circulation.

[NEW :TIMES.]

Yesterday the funera4 of the two then who lost
their lives in the disorderly mob of the 14th inst.
afforded to the promoters of disturbance and con-
" fusion a convenient pretence for collecting to-
gether multitudes of the idle and the turbulent;
and they spared no pains in announcing that a
public procession would take place. In addi-
tion to what they thought proper to publish,
we understand that a plan was formed for of-
fering an insult to the Crown, by carrying the
two corpses through Hyde Park, by the re-
verse of the route taken by the Queen's fu-
neral. This plan was artfully concealed in the
placard put forth by the Radicals, which was so
ambiguously expressed as to admit of their as-
serting, if Gavernment took no notice of it that
they were wilfully blind, and on the other
hand, if provision were made against it, of as-
serting that no such intention ever existed.—
In the event which has happened the latter
assertion will probably be made. That none of
the parties to this measure might plead ignorance
of the illegality of their conduct, a notice
was on Saturday given by direction of Lord
Bathurst to all those whose names were-subjoin-
ed to the advertisement, apprising them that per-
mission would not be given to enter the Park,
and that if it was attempted to force a passage,
the attempt would be resisted by all lawful means,
and those who should make the attempt by force
would be prosecuted. Means were taken to act
up to this notice. They gates of the Park were
strongly barricaded on Saturday night, a strong
civil force was stationed within the Park, and
means were secured of calling on' the military
instantly to act, in case a riot should ensue.'
We did expect to have been able to add here,
that the insult to propriety by this procession on
the Sabbath, and the insult to the laws and to com-
mon sense by the parade in honour of such an
occasion, were not aggravated and heightened by
violence or tumult ; but we have unexpectedly
learned, that after the day had passed over
quietly, strong symptoms of riot were exhibited
in the evening by a great crowd assembled about
the baarrcks at Knightsbridge. The windows of
that building were broken, and a soldier who
happened to pass through the mob was savagely
ill-treated. At length, it was found necessary to
read the Riot Act, and the populace was after-
wards dispersed. We have pleasure in adding,
that no lives were lost in this lamentable and dis-
graceful affair.
