FUNERAL OF LONG, THE MURDERED POLICE

OFFIOEU.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, the remains of Ling, the police ofiietr,
who was, on last Wednesday night, brutally ruurtier,tl in Gray's
Inn-lane, whilst in the discharge of the most imptott.tot
duty,— namely, that of prfroating crisis,--lucre removed ft-mu, Int.,
residence in Cooper's-court, Seward-street, St. Luke's, or tll.r
ground in St. James's, Clerkenwell. It arpeared that the
Moners of the New Police had on Saturday issued their ord.-
that the murdered man should be buried, with all due respc.t, to
that part of their directions were officially communicated to Mt
Fair, the Superintendent of the division " G." and he, with the prompt-
ness and seal which characterizes the discharge of his public duty, gave
directions that each officer of the division not on duty should attn.!.
Accordingly, about half-past one o'clock, the Inspectors, Messrs. Green-
ing, Rodgers, Thompson, and Busein, with about 300 men, were a,.
aembled in Seward-street. The arrangement made by Mr. Fair were
that eight of the deceased's companions should carry him to the grave ;
and, ut a little after two o'clock, the procession commenced in the fol-
lowing order :

1. The fumes ; 2. The coffin, supported by four companions of the
deceased ; 3. On each side the sergeants of the division, while, at the
same time, tour officers, who were particularly attached to the tle-
ceaud, were the pall!bearer►. The widow of the deceased and her
five orphans, accompanied by other friends, were the chief mount-
ers. On the procession getting into Seward-street, they afterwards
moved with a slow and solemn step until they arrived in Ayks.
bury-street, where the men who carried the corpse were relieved :
and on their arrival at St. James's, Clerkenwell, the Rev. Mr. D015•.:,,:n
read the burial service. It is said the deceased was a gun-maker, het,
afar the peace of 1815, business becoming bad, he wrought in the dot I t.
and afterwards got on the watch establishment of St. Luke's, and was by
the parochial authorities strongly recommended to the new police. It is
also said that Mr. Fair has already received 8L for the widow and
orphans, and it is to be reasonably expected the example will ht
followed.

ALL IS NOT DARK MAW.

Cold and ungrateful must the bosoms be
Of those who look upon the sun-lit earth,
And trace the finger of the Deity,

Yet own no cheerfulness and feel no mirth.
Who deem all dark the lot of man below,
One changeless gloom, one all.pervading woe.
H.. 1 Goo then made for nought each lovely thing
That sheds its beauty o'er this world of ours;
The feather'd warblers that so sweetly sing,
The ever-waving wood, the scented flowers?
cannot think of these, and yet believe
That man was only form'd to mourn and grieve.

But who can look upon the azure sky,
And mark the glorious orbs revolving there,
Or turn his glance towards earth's verdant dye,
And deem, where all is form'd so bright and fair,
That man was made to wander on in gloom,
Then sink in sorrow to the silent tomb P

'Tie true earth's joys are ever mix'd with care,

And men arc fated to one common curse?
But should we therefore cherish dark despair,
And make our too-imperfect being worse ?
Tho'' weep with them that weep' is GOD'S own voice,
He bids us. too, " with those who joy rejoice."

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—Saturday.

At ten o'clock the Jury assembled pursuant to adjournment Satur-
fl.ty. Mr. Brand, the supposed lunatic, entered the room, attired pre-
cisely as on former occasions, and attended by a keeper. The unfortu-
...ate gentleman looked more composed than heretofore, as also in better
health ; he carried in his hand a lady's variegated silk work-bag, which
appeared to be filled with papers, &c.
Henry Harris was called in and sworn : previous to his being ex.
.enined, however, Mr. Brand, with much apparent surprise and gra.
:ity, informed the Court that he had since he last saw the jury, din-
o :ered that there was a mistake in the commission; as it was issued
tpainat John Fitzbrand ; therefore all that had been done in that court
-.est go for nothing.
Ur. PHlLListoitz, after listening with great attention to Mr.
Brand, set him right by reading the commission.
The unfortunate gentleman nodded assent.
Henry Harris examined.—Witness is the son of the proprietor of an
'..otvl in Parliment-street, Westminster. The witness merely spoke to
the fact of a disturbance which took place in his father's house about
week's past, in which Mr. Brand 'was very violent, and subse-
quently. in consequence of said violence, was committed to Tothill-fields
prison.
Charles Orton called—Had been in attendance upon Mr. Brand as
his keeper since July last ; recollected a Captain Rowley, about three
weeks ago, being introduced by Mrs. Brand to her husband ; the latter
was very much excited, and was constantly writing to the Duke of Wel-
lington. Mrs. Brand thought if she introduced a person to her hug.
band as the Duke of Wellington, it would tend materially to pacify
him. Witness, as keeper, objected to such proceeding; about two
'says after, Mrs. Brand came into the room, and said to her husband, in
witness's presence, that a
.person had just come into the house who was
:cry like the Duke of M ellington ; she added, that she would intro-
duce the said person to Mr. Brand; she introduced him accordingly as
the Duke of Wellington. Mr. Brand asked if the person so introduced
was the Duke of Wellington ? and the party bowed assent. Mr. Brand
wished to know if he could be released from the hotel in which he was
n:cfined; the imaginary Duke of Wellington said no, he (Mr. Brand)
had better remain where he was for a day or two, the town was in such
,tate of confusion thut it would not be safe for Mr. Brand to go out.
Mr. Brand after this said that witness and the other keeper were -.
r The evidence is, for the most part, of such a character as to be wholly
