James Delarue, borne by four young men, and a police-
man on either side. Mr. Daniel Delarue, the brother of
the deceased, followed next to the corpse as chief
mourner, ,and throughout the progress to the church,
and during the service he appeared deeply affected. He was
supported by the deceased's late landlord, Mr. Kitchener.
The other mourners were four in number, consisting of Mr.
James Kitchener, the brother of the last-mentioned person,
and Mr. W. Telfer, Mr. Frederick Telfer, and Mr. John
Telfer, personal friends of the deceased.
On the arrival of the body at the entrance to the new bu-
rial ground attached to the old church the procession was
met by the Rev. W. Ainger, Vicar of llampstead, and one of
his curates, the Rev. Mr. Faulkner, and it was preceded by
those gentlemen to the third ground, where a new grave, ten
feet deep, had been dug for the body. The coffin of the de-
ceased, which was covered with black cloth, studded with
black nails, bore on it a plate with the following inscription :
Mr. James Delarue, died 21st February, 1845, aged
thirty-three years."
It :may be mentioned that police-constable Baldock, who
first discovered deceased's body, also followed the corpse to
the churchyard, immediately after the mourners. The
brother of the deceased left Hampstead shortly after the
funeral, accompanied by his friends, for London ; and as
soon as the I orkshire Grey was once opened, it became
utterly impossible to close it, in consequence of the crowds of
persons which kept continually 14o4king in. The large space
in front also presented the appearance of a fair. During the
day, it is estimated that there could not have been fewer than
twenty thousand persons visiting the scene of the murder.

L CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
The March Sessions commenced this morning before the
Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, Alderman Hughes
Hughes, and Sir John Key.
' The grand jury having been sworn,
The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his usual charge. He
said the number and character of the offences specified in
the calendar were such as to afford a well-grounded ex-
pectation that their labours would be brought to a close in
the course of the present week. There were few cases of a
serious nature, and they presented no difficulty in point of
law. In regard to the assistance of the Court, as to the
course they would have to pursue in their investiga-
tions, he had particularly to refer to a charge of murder
and to the charge against a woman of attempting
to drown her own child. The circumstances attending
the charge of murder (that of the young man Tap-
ping, charged with shooting Emma Whiter, at Bethnal-
green), were numerous, and afforded such a body of evidence,
that he was bound to tell them that it was their duty
to put that case into a further train of inquiry. Having re-
commended them to adopt this course, he should abstain
from entering into the particulars of the case. The same
observation applied to the case of attempting to drown an
infant ; the body of evidence presented rendered it highly
desirable that it should undergo further investigation—that
the prisoners in both these cases should be put upon their
trial. After referring to Sir Michael Foster's treatise with
respect to the difference between homicide and murder, he
proceeded to say that the offence of attempting to drown
was provided for by the Ist of Victoria, c. 85, sec. 3, which
enacted " that whoever shall attempt to drown, or strangle,
with the intention of committing the crime of murder, shall
be guilty of felony, and on conviction shall, under the dis-
cretion of the Court, be transported beyond the seas for the
term of his or her natural life, or for any term less than
fifteen years, or imprisoned for a term not exceeding three
years." The penalty that attached to this offence, on convic-
tion, was such that he should nave been cautious to recommend
the necessity of putting the case into further inquiry, were
not the circumstances such as to call for the course he had
pointed out. It was unnecessary for him to occupy their
time with the other cases in the calendar, as he apprehended
that no difficulty would arise in connexion with them. After
pointing out the duty and responsibility which devolved
upon them, he concluded by dismissing them to their duties.
The Court then proceeped to try unimportant cases.

PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
Sub-Committee No. 4 assembled this morning in Com-
mittee-room No. 7.
The Committee consisted of Sir William Heathcote, Mr.
Evans, and Mr. Childers.
The Committee took unopposed petitions.
The first was the Ulster Railway. The necessary proofs of
notices having been gone through, the Committe e decided
that the standing orders had been complied with.

MARKET NEWS.-(TIIIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The returns for the past week show a trifling increase in the ar-
rivals of English Wheat and Barley, and a very extensive one in
these of Irish Oats. No Foreign or Colonial Wheat has come to
hand, while the receipts of other kinds of Grain, as well as Flour,
were on a moderate scale. Fresh up, coastwise, as well as by land
carriage and sample, the arrivals of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and
Cambridgeshire, and, indeed, most other parts, were only moderate,
and of but middling quality. The stands were by no means heavily
supplied with samples of either Red or White. For the best descrip-
tions the demand ruled steady, at fully, but nothing quotable beyond,
the prices obtained on this day ee'nnight. In middling and inferior kinds
but a limited business was passing, yet the quotations were supported.
The show of fine foreign Wheats was again small, but fully adequate
to meet the wants of the buyers—all descriptions being a slew inquiry,
though at full rates. So little was doing in Corn under lock, as has
been the case for some time past, that the quotations were little bet-
ter than nominal. We had a fair supply of both English and Foreign
Barley on show. Selected parcels of malting readily produced full
currencies, but all other kinds met a very slow inquiry. In Malt
rather a limited business was transacted, yet the factors would not
submit to lower figures. Notwithstanding the large arrival of Oats,
the Oat trade was comparatively steady, at last week's prices. In
Beans, Peas, Flour, and Seeds, very few sales worthy of notice took
place. DI value, no material alteration occurred.

SMITHFIELD.
Since this day se'nnight, the imports of live stock from abroad, for
our market have been limited, compared with those of many pre-
ceding weeks, they not having exceeded 42 Oxen, 5 Cows, and 14
Sheep, all from Holland. As the whole of the above importations
were brought forward and disposed of on Friday last, not a single
head was exhibited to-day. This falling off in the reeeipts of foreign
Beasts and Sheep must be chiefly attributed to the stringent regula-
tions in Holland to prevent the spreading of the epidemic, which is
raging with fearful violence amongst live stock in that country.
The supply of Beasts received from our own grazing districts was
seasonably extensive, and of unusually prime quality, especially as
relates to the Scots and homebred., from Norfolk ; indeed, we have
seldom seen so fine and so even a collection of that description of
stock as this morning. We ought to observe, however, that the Beef
trade was in a very depressed state, and the quotations, in conse-
quence, suffered a decline of quite 2d per 81bs, the ;very highest figure
for the best Scots not exceeding 35 10d per Sibs, and yet a clearance
was not effected. The bullock droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Fesex,
and Cambridgeshire, comprised 2,200 Scots and homebreds ; while
from the Northern counties we received only 200 short horns ; from the
western and midland districts, 200 of various kinds ; from other parts
of England, 300 of various kinds ; and from Scotland, 100 horned and
pelled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were somewhat less than last
week, yet they; were sufficiently large. Prime old Downs com-
manded a steady, but not to say brisk, inquiry, at full prices, while in
most other kinds a fair amount of business was doing, at late rates.
The Veal trade was rather heavy, yet the quotations were mostly
supported. Prime small Porkers were quite as dear. In other kinds
of Pork very little was doing.

21111WCULTII AND LE&DENHAI.L•
Rather an extensive arrival of country slaughtered meat has taken
place for these markets during the week : while the supplies of meat
killed in the metropolis have been seasonably large, though a slight
falling off has been observed in quality. For the primest Mutton,
Veal, and Pork, the demand has ruled tolerably steady, at fully pre-
vious figures; but, with all other kinds of meat, the trade has been
dull. The imports of live stock having been mostly sold in Smith-
field for country-consumption, we have had no carcase., on sale
here since our last.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.

Contrary to almost general expectation, the demand for most kinds
of Flops continues extremely heavy, and when sales are pressed of
the inferior quality, lower rates must be submitted to. A few specu-
lative purchases have been made in old qualities.
330ROITGEI AND SPITALPIZLDS.

The arrivals of Potatoes from the Channel Islands and most other
quarters, during the week, have been seasonably good, and of fair
average quality. For the best samples the demand is somewhat
active, at full prices, but most other kinds are a slow Inquiry.
