A. novel funeral ceremony was exhibited on Fri-
(by afternoon, in St. John's Church-yard ; and
gave us sone idea of the Eastern mode of sepul-
ture. A Lomat., belonging to the Hannah, ar-
rived at this port from Btimbay, having died, his
shipmates hail to pay the last tribute of respect to
his mortal remains. The corpse being. wrapped
sail-cloth, (for they used no coffin), and
brought from aboard, was placed on, a pit,ce
timber, and over all was thrown a portion of red
silk. The procession, hea lel by about twelve
Loscars, then moved towards the place of inter-
ment. Daring its progress through the streets,
the singularity of the, sight attracted general at-
tention, and a considerable crowd was collected.
Having arrived at the Church-yard, they found
the gates closed against them ; they, how-
14ailiCd admittance;` and haying previous-
ly provided themselves with the necessary imPle.-
meats, a grave was soon dog, about it foot in
depth. They then proceeded to the business of
interment : having removed the hotly front the
board, they feuttul the grave too short ; they
therefore jumped upon the corps*, nil pretse4
down. This accomplished, each Shook the h.olds
of the deceased, and tlins mok a last adiva of their
sitipmate.—(Liverpool Courier.) ,
